Chapter 328 Ending
During the first examination, the most popular places in the capital were temples, and many people went out of the city to worship Buddha every day.
Yang Zhumu looked at his sister who was writing calmly, "I see everyone is going to burn incense and worship Buddha. We have a carriage at home, so why don't we go and worship as well?"
Zhulan, ".......Brother, sincerity is the key to success. It is not advisable to rely on others for help."
Yang Zhumu thought that it was true. The Buddha could not be fooled. Their family did not burn incense or worship Buddha on weekdays. If they went to pray when something happened, they would be blamed. "No, we won't go."
Zhulan completely forgot that she had temporarily held the Buddha's feet.
After the first game, Zhulan brought Zhou Shuren, who was picked up by the boss himself. Even though he was fully prepared, the weather in February was too harsh. After three days, even Zhou Shuren, who was in good health, could not bear it.
Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren get on the carriage and quickly put the heater in Zhou Shuren's hand, "Warm yourself up first."
Zhulan reached out and touched Zhou Shuren's forehead, "Fortunately you don't have a fever."
Zhou Shuren hugged the heater tightly and asked, "Is Wu Ming ready?"
Zhu Lan put another cape on Zhou Shuren and said, "I'm ready. Don't worry about this."
After that, Zhulan poured the prepared ginger tea and handed it to Zhou Shuren, "This is the ginger tea brewed by Li."
Zhou Shuren chuckled, "I won't mind your hard work."
Zhulan raised an eyebrow, "Then I'll endure it next time?"
Zhou Shuren, "........Okay."
Zhulan curled her lips. Don't think she didn't feel the pause in the middle.
Zhou Shuren drank some ginger tea and warmed up. "There are two more games to go. Persistence is the key to victory."
Zhulan said, "I have hired a doctor at home to come back and see you and Wu Ming. I promised Mrs. Wu Li that I would take good care of Wu Ming. Looking at Wu Ming's health, I am really worried."
Zhou Shuren was surprised, "Doctors are very popular these days, and you actually got one?"
Zhulan patted her purse and said, "There is nothing that cannot be done with money. If you have enough money, it will be done. This consultation cost me twenty taels."
Zhou Shuren said quietly, "February filled the doctor's pockets!"
When I got home, the doctor was getting impatient waiting for me, "Why did you come back so late?"
Zhulan knew that the doctor was in a hurry to go to the next hospital for consultation. "The road was blocked by carriages."
The doctor hurriedly said, "Those who need to be examined, please sit down quickly."
Zhou Shuren held Wu Ming down. Wu Ming was in poor health and had no strength to resist Zhou Shuren. He could only sit down and examine her awkwardly.
The doctor took my pulse silently and said, "You caught a cold, but it's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a prescription for you to take. You'll be fine after a night's rest."
Wu Ming's heart relaxed. He was really afraid of getting sick again. This time it was February. He was really afraid that he couldn't bear it. "Thank you, doctor."
Zhou Shuren sat down, and the doctor felt his pulse. "Hey, this old man is in good health. He is no longer in trouble and does not need to take medicine."
Zhulan was relieved that Zhou Shuren was fine. She was even more grateful for Mr. Lu's medical skills. Both she and Zhou Shuren were well taken care of by him.
Boss Zhou sent the doctor and went to get some medicine.
Wu Ming expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, Auntie, for your thoughtful consideration."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that I promised your grandmother to take care of you. I have always treated you as my own nephew, and I will take good care of you."
Wu Ming was even more moved. Uncle Zhou had taken care of him before he became a scholar. This was true love.
Zhulan gained a few waves of favor, and seeing Wu Ming's grateful eyes, she felt that she had basically gained enough favor, and all her efforts were worth it.
The medical skills of doctors in the capital are still guaranteed. There is no other way. There are many nobles in the capital. Doctors without real skills dare not open a clinic in the capital. If they are not careful, they may lose their lives.
The examinees were unlucky this time as the second exam took place on a snowy day, making the examination more difficult.
There were more people getting sick in the second session. Even though Zhulan had booked a doctor in advance, the doctor still didn't come. The only thing to be thankful for was that Wu Ming's condition was not serious.
Some students missed the third exam. The weather was the coldest after the snow, and the last exam was the most difficult.
After the last exam, Zhou Shuren also had a fever, and Wu Ming walked out of the examination room lightly, and fainted as soon as he got on the carriage.
Zhulan learned her lesson a second time, and this time she paid twice as much to hire the doctor.
I went home and took their pulses. Fortunately, neither of them was in a serious condition. The doctor prescribed some medicine. I got better. The trial is over. I will just recuperate at home.
Zhou Laoda came back with medicine and said, "Mom, there are many people who are sick in this trial. Fortunately, you spent a lot of money to hire a doctor. As soon as I saw the doctor off the carriage, he was dragged onto a carriage and robbed."
Boss Zhou was still frightened. The doctor dared to be so disgruntled in front of their family. This time he was robbed and even laughed. There were so many nobles in the capital, and it was not enough to have such a good host.
Zhulan took the medicine and said, "Okay, don't go out for the next few days."
Boss Zhou didn't dare to go out, "Ah."
Yang Zhumu followed behind his sister and opened his mouth several times. Zhulan turned around and asked, "Brother, what do you want from me?"
Yang Zhumu, "Brother-in-law didn't tell me how the exam went?"
Zhulan shook her head, "No."
Yang Zhumu's heart skipped a beat. It looked like he hadn't done well on the test. "You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go teach Ming Teng how to use the stick."
Zhulan chuckled. She had never thought that Mingteng would like to wield swords and guns. After seeing his eldest brother playing with sticks for a while, the kid started to like it and pestered his eldest brother to teach him. The eldest brother thought that Zhou Shuren didn't like his children learning martial arts, so he asked her specifically!
It's a pity that Mingteng inherited his talent from his eldest brother. Both of them have no talent. Martial arts also require talent. No matter how much Mingteng likes it, he can only practice self-defense.
Zhulan prepared the medicine. Wu Ming had his own servant to take care of him, so Zhulan only needed to take care of Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren had been lying there for a while and was sweating a little. Zhulan touched Zhou Shuren's forehead and said, "It feels like it has subsided a little."
Zhou Shuren leaned against the pillow, "It's definitely better now."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren drank a lot of Chinese medicine soup. A bowl of Chinese medicine is nothing, but today Zhou Shuren was being naughty, "You have to kiss me before I drink it."
Zhulan, "Aren't you afraid of infecting me with the cold?"
Zhou Shuren, "We sleep together every day, and we haven't shared the bed for such a long time. I have had many opportunities to infect you, so this one time won't make a difference."
Zhulan's heart beat faster. Zhou Shuren was obviously different after the examination. Zhulan remembered Zhou Shuren's success in the imperial examination and the candles in the wedding night. Zhulan's face was burning. Well, although she and Zhou Shuren had slept together for a long time, they had never crossed the line!
Zhou Shuren smiled. He felt that his head was no longer hot and his headache was gone. "Give me a kiss and I'll take the medicine."
Zhulan glared at Zhou Shuren and gave him a quick kiss. Then she put down the medicine bowl and turned to leave. No, she needed to go out and cool down!
Zhou Shuren laughed softly. After the three games were over, his confidence in himself returned. Well, it was a pity that he had no chance of getting the first place. He had a very high bottom line in his heart because of Zhu Lan. If he had any bad intentions towards Wu Ming, Wu Ming would have no chance of getting the first place!
Zhulan ran to the kitchen. Li saw her mother's blushing face and asked, "Mom, why is your face so red?"
Afterwards, Li covered her mouth, and her mother's face was clearly blushing with shame.
Zhulan, "......."
If Li didn't cover her mouth, no one would think much of it. But as soon as Li covered her mouth, it was as if Zhulan had done something. Zhulan gritted her teeth, what a fool!
