His cold gaze swept across Bai Lan's face inch by inch, and he curved his lips and said, "You have a pretty good face. Remember to make good use of it and don't let me down. If you ever climb up the ladder in the future, don't forget me, your guide."
Bai Lan lowered her eyes and whispered, "I understand. I hope Master Shangguan will not forget what he promised me."
Shangguan Yi just said "Don't worry" and left leisurely.
Bai Lan looked at the departing figure and smiled sarcastically. After a moment, the smile disappeared, and only hatred remained in her eyes.
The first exam was over very quickly, and all the doctors in the capital were snapped up overnight. Jiang Erlang didn't need to scramble for a job, as Shen Huaixu examined him that day.
"You caught a slight cold, but it's okay. No need to take medicine. Just have a good rest tonight and you'll be fine."
Jiang Erlang was a little excited because he had just finished his first exam, but he didn't feel anything unusual. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Qian Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad I didn't catch a cold. I'm glad I didn't catch a cold. There wasn't much snow this year, but it snowed during the Spring Examination. What bad weather!"
How many people are waiting for this opportunity to pass the imperial examinations and get a good reputation. It would be really cruel if they were delayed due to health reasons.
If her Erlang fell ill, she would have to pray to all the temples and Taoist temples in the capital.
"I see it's snowing." Shen Huaixu stood up and walked under the eaves to see the strong wind blowing outside. "This year's candidates are indeed unlucky. Second brother, please keep warm for the next exam."
Dark clouds hung high outside, but Jiang Erlang's heart was filled with sunshine. His brows softened and he smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
There were more people who fell ill during the second round of the imperial examination, but Jiang Erlang was still in good health. However, some high-ranking officials in the capital who could not get the imperial physicians came to Shen Huaixu and asked her to treat the younger generation in their family who were taking the imperial examinations.
Shen Huaixu had never thought that he could make some money during the imperial examination. It was an unexpected windfall, and he was quite happy about it.
It is a rare achievement to have endured two exams, and it is inevitable that some people will miss the third exam.
At the end of the last exam, many candidates fainted as soon as they left the examination room. Perhaps it was because they suddenly relaxed after the exam, and Jiang Erlang inevitably caught a cold.
When Shen Huaixu rushed back to the Jiang family, the family was sitting together talking about something. The atmosphere was not dull, and it seemed that they had done well in the exam.
With a sense of security in her heart, she steadied her hurried steps. After taking his pulse and prescribing a prescription, she told the servants to get the medicine before she said, "Second brother seems to be in a good mood."
Jiang Erlang's eyes and brows were gentle. Even though he didn't sleep well in the examination room yesterday, there was no sign of fatigue between his brows.
"I've written down the questions. You can take a look at them later, Xu."
Before Shen Huaixu could nod, he heard Jiang Wei say, "Miaomiao, you don't know, but Second Brother said he feels pretty good. I have a feeling that Second Brother will definitely be on the list this time."
Jiang Wei also called Shen Huaixu by his nickname.
It's funny to say, Jiang Wei has called her "youngest sister" for so many years, but it was only on Shen Huaixu's birthday that she found out that her youngest sister is actually older than her!
She couldn't call Chen Huaixu "Sister" and felt very awkward. After thinking hard for a while, she finally decided to call her "Miao Miao".
Jiang Sanlang went to pick up his second brother today: "You don't know, every time my second brother comes out, many people come forward to talk to him, most of them are recommending their own daughters of marriageable age. The results haven't been announced yet. If they are, it will be really incredible..."
Jiang Erlang's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes quickly swept across Shen Huaixu's smiling face. Seeing that she was listening with great interest, he felt a little disappointed.
He let out a barely perceptible breath. "Why are you saying all this? Mother once said, 'You can't get married before you come of age,' and I think that makes sense."
Qian Xiuzhu, who had just been provoked by her youngest son to choose a daughter-in-law for her second son, immediately fell silent.
She felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.
She had never thought that Erlang was so ambitious and could pass the imperial examination before he even reached adulthood. Now that she thought about it, getting married at the age of 20 was a bit old. Unfortunately, Erlang seemed to agree with it, so she didn't know what to say.
As she thought about it, she felt a little upset. She pointed at the children one by one and asked Jiang Sanlang, "It's a good thing that the whole family is here. Your eldest brother, besides being busy with household chores, also finds time to read. Your second brother, needless to say, even if he doesn't make the list this year, he can still get a small official position. Miaomiao, not to mention, has already become a county lady. Sister Wei, learning to read and paint is also a way out for her in the future. Even Sister Fu, at such a young age, is studying medicine with Miaomiao. What do you want to do in the future?"
Jiang Sanlang didn't quite understand why he had suddenly become the target of his mother's scolding, but... he deeply agreed with his mother's words and didn't dare to refute. He looked around and pointed at the young Rong Jie'er and said weakly: "Isn't there... Rong Jie'er here..."
Everyone was speechless for a moment. Jiang Boliang was so disappointed that he said, "You kid! How old is Rong Jie'er? How old are you?"
Rong Jie'er raised her hands and said happily, "I want to be as powerful as my cousin! Beat the bad guys away!"
"puff--"
I don't know who it was, but he couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
Jiang Sanlang grinned, his smile uglier than crying. "Doesn't someone need to farm the land at home? Can't I farm it? Miaomiao also said that she has the land and I can farm it however I want!"
Qian Xiuzhu just saw her youngest son wandering around all day doing nothing, and she wanted to know what he was thinking, so she asked. She didn't expect that the child actually liked to grow things.
Just as he was about to say something, Miaomiao said, "Third brother, my fiefdom is in Pei County, not far from the capital. You can go there and try to grow whatever you want for a year. Then show me your results after a year. How about that?"
