Chapter 181 The Reborn Heroine's Excellent Grandma 20
Hu Jinyan came back from studying abroad. After staying at home for a few days, he packed his luggage and headed to Beijing.
Qingshan Village is far away from the capital, so Su Li dare not take it lightly. She wants to go to the capital with them this time.
Hu Jinran went to the county town and rented a good carriage, and the mother and her two children set off.
It took nearly a month to reach the capital, stopping and walking along the way.
When they arrived in the capital, it was already winter and snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Su Li took Hu Jinran and Hu Jinyan to find an inn to stay in.
Because of the snow, the weather was very cold, and Hu Jinyan caught a cold as soon as he arrived in Beijing.
In order to recover his health as soon as possible, Hu Jinyan read books in his room every day and never went out.
Su Li frowned as he watched. He was so young, but his body was too weak! How could he serve the people in the future with such a weak body?
In order to ensure that Hu Jinyan had a healthy body, Su Li gave him a book after he recovered from his cold, adding an additional physical exercise task to his task.
For a period of time afterwards, Hu Jinyan was busy recuperating, reviewing his lessons, and exercising every day. Su Li took Hu Jinran around the capital every day to gather information.
The inn was bustling with people coming and going every day, and in order to give Hu Jinyan a quiet environment and a more spacious space for exercise, Su Li quickly rented a small courtyard at a high price and moved in.
After the Chinese New Year, Hu Jinyan began to go out more frequently, going to teahouses to discuss academic matters with other students and to gather information.
Hu Jinran couldn't sit still. He felt bad about spending a lot of money on the journey, so he found a job as a waiter in a restaurant before the New Year.
He goes out early and comes back late every day, and is busier than Su Li and Hu Jinyan.
The two adopted sons all had their own things to do, so Su Li was happy to be free and didn't have to act like an elder. He went to restaurants, teahouses, and theaters every day.
The carefree and comfortable days always pass by inadvertently, and soon it is the day of the final examination.
Hu Jinran asked for leave from the restaurant owner early. After the mother and son had breakfast early, they went to the examination hall with Hu Jinran.
When Su Li and the others arrived, the examination room was already full of people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was packed with people.
Hu Jinyan had anticipated this scene and remained calm and composed.
On the contrary, Hu Jinran, who has always been heartless, was so nervous that he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Little brother, why are there so many people here? I don't usually see so many people in the capital! Where did they come from?"
Did their Great Zhou have so many scholars?
Without waiting for Hu Jinyan's reply, he spoke incoherently, "Little brother, don't be nervous. If you don't pass the exam, we can just consider it as a chance to broaden our horizons. Bah bah... Children should speak without restraint, children should speak without restraint! Little brother, you're so capable, you'll definitely make it! Don't feel pressured..."
Hu Jinyan: I didn’t feel any pressure at first.
Su Li glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Is this all you can do? Old Four isn't even nervous yet, but your legs are shaking in a rhythmic way!"
Hu Jinyan smiled lightly and said in a gentle voice, "Third brother, don't be nervous."
"Am I nervous?"
Hu Jinran looked down and saw his legs trembling slightly. His face flushed instantly. "It seems to be very cold today. I am shivering with cold. Little brother, you should wear more clothes in the exam room. Don't catch a cold!"
The weather is so cold that my legs and feet are starting to tremble!
"Well, mother, third brother, I'll go over first!"
"Come on, little brother!"
Su Li nodded and watched Hu Jinyan walk towards the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
This time, there is no female protagonist causing trouble. As long as the adopted son performs normally, he should have no problem passing the exam.
The imperial examination is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days.
Su Li personally picked up and dropped off Hu Jinyan for every exam. After the first two exams, Hu Jinyan was still in good spirits.
After the third exam, Hu Jinyan came out of the Imperial Examination Hall as if all his energy had been drained away, his face was pale and his body was shaky.
If Hu Jinran hadn't spotted him early and ran forward to support him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.
Su Li took a few steps forward and took the examination basket from Hu Jinyan's hand. Hu Jinran carried him on his back into the carriage.
Su Li returned to the courtyard and immediately went to the kitchen to help Hu Jinyan make nourishing soup!
Su Li stared at the boiling tonic soup, feeling a mixture of emotions in her heart. She had really worried about her adopted sons.
"Tuanzi, look at my soup-making skills getting better and better!"
Su Tuantuan was playing games when she heard her sister's words. She quickly raised her head and looked out through the screen, and saw a pot of dark brown soup.
What kind of soup is this?
"Sister is amazing!"
Su Li said proudly: "It's just so-so. I just cooked it casually. I didn't expect Hu Jinyan to like it so much!"
Su Tuantuan: ...Who would actually like to drink this? Don't take advantage of me for my lack of experience!
"As expected of my sister, she's amazing!"
Su Li sniffed and said, "It smells good. It should taste good. It's a pity that there are so many medicinal herbs in it, otherwise I would have to drink a bowl!"
Su Tuantuan: ...
"My cooking was terrible before because I hadn't found my specialty. Look, isn't my soup delicious?"
Su Tuantuan: ...I've been talking for so long, just to make up for my poor cooking skills!
"Yes, sister is really awesome!"
"Okay, you can leave now. The soup is ready. I'm going to take it to my adopted son!"
"……yes!"
…
Hu Jinyan faces her old mother's loving eyes every day and drinks different nourishing soups, which move her to tears.
"Mom, I'm fine now. You don't have to work so hard making soup three times a day!"
Hu Jinyan took a sip with difficulty, he really couldn't stand it!
"I know you're working hard, so drink more. I stewed this with various herbs and old hens. It's good for your health!"
Hu Jinyan sniffed hard and it did smell like chicken soup!
He might as well just drink the medicine!
It tasted sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, with an indescribable flavor. He couldn't help it as soon as the soup entered his mouth. If he didn't want to waste his mother's kindness, he would have vomited in front of her long ago.
I don’t know how his mother could make a medicine that only tastes bitter have so many flavors?
"Mom, I'm not very hungry. Leave the soup for now. I'll drink it soon. Please don't keep me waiting. I'm feeling really good!"
As Hu Jinyan spoke, he started doing push-ups on the spot.
Su Li couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he looked at his adopted son who had become full of energy in just a few days after being fed by him.
It seems that although she is not good at cooking, she is still first-class at making nourishing soup, and she has gained another survival skill.
"Okay, now that you're better, I can take a break. I've been so busy making soup these past few days!"
"Thank you, Mom, for your hard work!"
Hu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother finally stopped giving him strange tonic soups.
He decided that in order to prevent his mother from worrying about his health in the future, he would do the fitness boxing given by his mother every day.
No, he's going to hit it twice!
Hu Jinyan's eyes were determined. He must be a filial son. His mother was right, health is the most important thing!
The day of the results announcement soon arrived, and Hu Jinran went to the Imperial Examination Hall first to see the list.
