The young woman stumbled suddenly and fell on Sheng Jingheng's left shoulder.
A young scholar in splendid clothes pulled her up and said, "Fu'er, are you okay?"
The woman turned around and saw a handsome man with a refined and elegant appearance and a gentlemanly demeanor.
Her face flushed instantly, and she bowed and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir."
Sheng Jingheng said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
The three of them started chatting.
"My name is Su Yunfu, may I know your name, sir?"
Sheng Jingheng was an easygoing person. He smiled and said, "I am Sheng Jingheng."
Su Yunfu smiled sweetly and said:
"This is my brother Su Yunyu, he is also here to participate in this scientific expedition."
Su Yunyu was full of pride, and seeing Sheng Jingheng was dressed in plain clothes, he thought he was a commoner.
I didn't want to say hello at first, but then I nodded and smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
But Su Yunfu was impressed by the elegant man in front of her, and looked at him secretly, falling in love for the first time and feeling overwhelmed with joy.
"My brother and I are twins, a boy and a girl. Master Sheng, do we look alike?"
Sheng Jingheng said, "They are about 70% similar, but each has its own characteristics."
It was almost his turn, so he took the rattan examination basket that the servant was carrying.
The imperial examination lasted for nine days and six nights, and students were not allowed to leave the examination hall.
So the examination basket is filled with the supplies needed for these nine days.
Including the four treasures of the study, dry food, spare clothes, and toiletries.
Su Yunfu took a large paper bag from the basket carried by the servant and handed it to Sheng Jingheng.
"Mr. Sheng, there are dried meat, roast duck, and ginseng slices in here. You can eat them."
“No need for this!”
Sheng Jingheng pushed back,
Su Yunfu smiled and said, "Take it as a favor for saving me today. Take it. I wish Master Sheng success in the imperial examination."
The supervisor of the Imperial Examination Hall shouted at him to hurry up, but Sheng Jingheng said nothing more and picked up the examination basket to be checked.
Su Yunyu was standing at the back, "You damn girl, you're giving my food away. Aren't you afraid that your brother will starve to death in there?"
Su Yunfu's eyes never left Sheng Jingheng.
"Mother almost moved the restaurant to you. That bag of food is nothing."
Young Master Sheng looked extremely talented and would definitely take first place. Su Yunfu rubbed her handkerchief against her lips and smiled sweetly.
Su Yunyu said, "Hey, I'm going in, you can go back."
"Go, go."
Su Yunfu pushed Su Yunyu away and watched Sheng Jingheng enter the Imperial Examination Hall, spinning around excitedly.
Will this man I like become the top scorer in the imperial examination?
My elder sister Su Yunluan entered the palace as a concubine, so it would be nice for me to be the wife of the top scholar.
This night in an inn in Luozhou area.
Under the candlelight, Qi Yan was carving a jade tiger in his hand.
The door creaked, Tiewa opened it, and Cui Nianmi came in with some midnight snacks.
"Brother Yan, Luozhou's donkey meat hotpot is extremely famous. I asked someone to buy some for you, along with a pot of chrysanthemum wine. Please try it."
Cui Nianmi put down the plate and saw Qi Yan holding a carving knife and carving a round hibiscus jade stone.
Sit nearby and watch carefully.
"Is it a little tiger?"
Qi Yan fixed the last bit and wiped it gently with a velvet cloth. Soon, a little tiger made of pink hibiscus jade stood in the palm of his hand.
"Wow, so cute! It turns out Brother Yan bought the hibiscus jade rough in Zhangzhou to carve a jade tiger."
Cui Nianmi wanted to take the jade tiger, but Qi Yan changed his hand and took the little tiger back.
Does he not want me to touch the Hibiscus Jade Tiger?
Cui Nianmi guessed that this was a gift for someone else. It was pink, so could it be for a woman?
I suddenly felt nervous.
"Brother Yan, is this a gift for someone?"
Qi Yan placed the little tiger on the velvet cloth, and took out a fist-sized piece of white jade from the box, intending to carve a little rabbit.
Although we don't know the gender of the child, we can be sure that he is a rabbit.
That child is almost three years old and must be very cute.
"It's for my beloved, she's a tiger."
As he spoke, his bright eyebrows and eyes sparkled, as if he was talking about an extremely proud person who could not hide his love.
In an instant, Cui Nianmi's heart sank to the bottom. Does he have a loved one?
Should have guessed it earlier.
But after spending half a month together, she really fell in love with this outstanding man.
Not giving up, he continued to ask, "Is Brother Yan married?"
Qi Yan used charcoal to draw lines.
"I'm already married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and we have a child."
He was oblivious to the people around him as he worked on his meticulous work.
Cui Nianmi felt like the sky had fallen, and her enthusiasm was extinguished by cold water.
Fighting back the tears in her eyes, she walked out of the guest room, and when she got outside, she couldn't help crying out loud, so she ran into the next room.
Tiewa heard the sound and opened the door to look.
He closed the door again, touched his head and said, "Hey, it seems like there is a woman crying, uncle, did you hear it?"
Qi Yan jokingly said, "You're only a few months old, and you're already thinking about women?"
Tiewa said aggrievedly: "No, I really heard it. Could it be a female ghost?"
"Don't be afraid of that. It's a good chance to test your determination."
Tiewa muttered, "If you want to test me, you should test me, not me."
Qi Yan patted him on the head and said, "Go read a book, you little brat."
"My ambition is to be a great general who protects my country. I just need to master my martial arts. Why bother with all this flowery talk?"
My goodness, I feel sleepy as soon as I see the densely packed words in the book.
Qi Yan pointed to the small knife used to carve jade.
"If you fall asleep while reading again, I'll use this knife to poke your thigh and wake you up."
Tiewa smiled innocently and said, "I know this. It's like hanging your head on the beam and piercing your thigh with a needle!"
Pick up the book and read it obediently.
My uncle told me to study hard and that big shots look down on simple-minded and strong-limbed ruffians. How big of a figure is he?
