Chapter 173 Chapter 173 I Miss You
At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, Yu Li woke Fu Wenxiao up and sent him to the Imperial Examination Hall.
Maybe because he slept well last night, Fu Wenxiao was in good spirits. When he arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, compared to those listless scholars, he looked unaffected at all.
Many people looked at him with envy.
Song Xiucai came over to greet him and said, "Brother Fu, you look so energetic, but did you get enough rest last night?"
Yesterday evening, the scholar came out of the Imperial Examination Hall, went back to have a meal, then took a shower and went to bed.
Although they could sleep soundly in bed, few of them could sleep well. Either they were worried about something, or they had been stuck in the Imperial Examination Hall for three days and were still not used to it. They could not recover in one night.
After only one night's rest, the scholars had to get up at three in the morning to rush to the Imperial Examination Hall to take the next exam. This was not enough time for them to recover.
Therefore, everyone's spirit is still not very good.
Fu Wenxiao smiled and nodded slightly, "It was indeed a very good rest."
Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is in a good mood. Song Xiucai looked at him enviously: "I guess it must be because my sister-in-law took good care of him."
Fu Wenxiao lowered his eyes and responded with a smile.
Among the scholars who took part in the provincial examination this time, Fu Wenxiao was the most outstanding, and his every move attracted much attention.
Many people noticed that every time Fu Wenxiao came to the Imperial Examination Hall, he would be picked up and dropped off by a young and beautiful lady. With just a little inquiry, they would know that she was his wife.
A man who has a wife to take care of him is different.
Song Xiucai was naturally envious and thought it would be great if his wife were here too.
Unfortunately, the cost of living in the provincial capital was too high. Madam Song was a calculating person who would never spend a penny that she didn't have to, so she didn't come to the provincial capital.
There were many scholars like Song Xiucai who came to the provincial capital alone. When they took the exams, the inn where they stayed would hire people to pick them up and drop them off. Naturally, these hired people were not as considerate as their family members.
Everyone envied Fu Wenxiao for having a good rest, and they also envied his good attitude.
In fact, they all knew that Fu Wenxiao had a very high chance of passing this provincial examination.
He is well-educated, has a good attitude, and gets enough rest... As long as there are no problems, he will definitely be on the list.
**
After sending Fu Wen to the Imperial Examination Hall, Yu Li went back to take a nap.
After waking up, she rarely went out, but practiced physical skills in the yard. She was sweating all over, so she took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
When it was almost noon, she asked someone to serve her meal. After eating, she stayed in the room reading a storybook.
Mo Yuchan gave her a lot of storybooks this time. They were worthy of being Mo Yuchan's treasures. The quality of the storybooks was extremely high and the content was very rich. Yu Li originally just used them to kill time, but after reading them, she was unknowingly hooked into them.
She was not a fast reader and would only read one book in most of the day.
So the next day, she continued to stay in the house reading storybooks, and read for the whole day.
On the third day, Yu Li finally went out to pick up Fu Wenxiao from the Imperial Examination Hall.
When I went out, I met Mr. Wang at the door.
Mr. Wang looked a little worried, and hesitated to speak, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Fu is really well educated, and his mentality is very stable. Nothing will go wrong, you don't have to worry about him..."
These days, Mr. Wang heard that Yu Li had been staying in the house and rarely went out, so he couldn't help but think more about it.
He knew that Yu Li was a person who could not sit still and always loved to go out. He heard that she liked to go shopping or visit her sister's shop. He did not think that girls should stay in the backyard and not go out of the front door or the back door, especially those girls who made a living in the market. If he asked them to do so, it would be like "Why don't you eat meat porridge?"
Not to mention that a capable girl like Yu Li has the right to go wherever she wants.
When he learned that she had not gone out for several days in a row, Mr. Wang felt that the matter was serious.
After thinking about it, I could only think that she might be worried about Fu Wenxiao in the Imperial Examination Hall, so she acted out of character and had no interest in going out.
Mr. Wang came here specially today to comfort her.
Yu Li blinked and said, "Brother Wang, I know."
"That's good." Seeing her calm expression, Mr. Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Are you going to pick up Brother Fu? I won't disturb you, go ahead."
Yu Li said goodbye to him politely and left in the car.
When they arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, Yu Li sat in the carriage and waited for a while, until finally the candidates came out.
After the second round of the provincial examination, the candidates looked even worse. Some even fell down when they came out. The people who came to pick them up hurriedly supported them and quickly put them on the carriages.
Yu Li spotted Fu Wenxiao in the crowd at a glance.
Compared with those candidates, he was still in very good condition, with a steady pace and his clothes were just a little wrinkled. He still looked clean and refreshing, without any sign of embarrassment.
When Yu Li came over, he still felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from her, for fear that she would smell the strange odor on him.
He hoped that in her heart, he would always be clean.
Yu Li didn't let him get away. He grabbed his hand forcefully, first transferred some supernatural powers into him, and then pulled him onto the carriage.
There was warm water in the carriage, so she handed him some water to drink and asked, "Are you tired?"
"Not bad." He finished his water and smiled at her.
Yu Li looked at the fatigue in his eyes. He looked more tired than when he came out of the first game. However, because he had practiced physical skills for more than half a year, his physical strength was better than that of ordinary people, so he looked to be in good condition.
Compared with those shaky scholars, it can be said that his spirits are too good.
It seems that the physical training was not in vain.
On the way back, Fu Wenxiao still held her hand, but did not let her get close. The two of them held hands and kept a distance.
After returning to the house, Fu Wenxiao went to wash up first, and washed three times before coming out.
Yu Li prepared food for him. Actually, there was no need to do anything. He just went out and said a word and someone would bring in the meal.
Fu Wenxiao's appetite was still not very good and he didn't eat much.
After dinner and a short rest, Yu Li urged him to go to bed so that he could get enough rest for the last exam tomorrow.
Fu Wenxiao slept until three o'clock in the morning and was woken up again.
After waking up, he subconsciously hugged the person in his arms tightly and buried his face in her neck. He looked a little lazy and seemed reluctant to get up.
Yu Li couldn't help but worry, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"
This shouldn't be the case. After she went to bed last night, he held her in his arms. He slept until dawn without turning over. He seemed to be sleeping soundly.
"I slept very well." He looked up and smiled at her, "With Ali by my side, I slept very well, but... I won't be able to see Ali for three days..."
Hearing this, Yu Li patted his shoulder as usual.
Sure enough, he started to be clingy again.
She knew that this man liked to stick to her, and he could only feel at ease when she was around.
Fu Wenxiao hugged her for a while, and finally stood up, put his scattered hair behind him, and said with a smile: "Indeed, as long as A-Li is with me, I can sleep peacefully."
Although he could only come back to rest for one night, he slept very well because he slept with her in his arms.
Yu Li felt relieved after hearing that.
After sending him to the Imperial Examination Hall, she encouraged him, "Xiao'er, this is the last exam. Once you finish it, the provincial examination will be over."
He no longer had to suffer in the Imperial Examination Hall.
Fu Wenxiao smiled and nodded, thinking of something, and suddenly said: "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that I can't celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with you this year."
As he said this, his eyelids drooped slightly and he looked a little lost.
Yu Li comforted her: "It's okay, we can live together in the future."
Even so, he still looked very lost, and she didn't know how to comfort him. In the end, she had to hold his hand and transfer some supernatural powers to him to make him feel better.
Her hands are always so warm, and this kind of warmth makes people nostalgic.
Fu Wenxiao held her hand, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't actually want her to transfer her superpowers to him, he just wanted to touch her more.
Even if it was only three days... he was extremely reluctant to leave.
**
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Li carried the mooncakes specially made by the Wang family chef to the store in the south of the city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Yu Jin and the girls in the store.
Although it is Mid-Autumn Festival, the shops are still open as usual and everyone is very busy.
Only Yu Li is an idle person.
She took the initiative to take over the purchasing work and went to the street to buy a lot of food. After all, Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion. In addition to eating moon cakes, she also had to prepare sumptuous food to reward everyone for their hard work.
Yu Li bought a lot of things in one go.
She was very strong and could carry the things back by herself, but there were too many things, so full that they blocked her face. As she walked, it was as if a pile of things were moving, attracting a lot of people's attention.
When a young man in brocade clothes passed by, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. Seeing that she was walking on the road with so many things in her arms, covering her face, he wondered if she was not afraid of bumping into the wall?
Unexpectedly, the person who was holding the things did not hit the wall. Instead, because he was staring at the people and not looking at the road carefully, he hit his head against the wall, screamed in pain and fell backwards.
Seeing that he was about to bump into the girl who was carrying something, he screamed, "Get out of the way..."
Yu Li stretched out her foot and gently kicked the person who was falling towards her. The person fell towards the wall again and lay there.
She leaned forward a little and asked, "Are you okay?"
Although the young man in brocade clothes avoided falling, the posture of being kicked and lying on the wall was quite indecent.
He was a little annoyed and was about to curse when he turned around and saw a beautiful face emerging from behind a pile of things. Her skin was extremely white and her expression was cold. When her eyes stared at him, he couldn't help but choke on his words.
After a long while, the young man in brocade clothes stammered, "No, it's okay..."
Seeing that the person was fine, Yu Li left.
The young man in brocade clothes was still looking at her. When he saw her walk into a shop not far away, he followed her involuntarily. After she went in, he found that it was a shop selling rouge, powder and perfume.
The customers in the store are all girls.
At this time, a girl from the store came over. She did not show any strange look because it was a man who came in. She smiled politely and said, "What would you like to buy?"
The young man in brocade clothes felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to say that he had come to the wrong place, so he gritted his teeth and bought a bunch of rouge and powder, then left in a hurry with a red face.
When Yu Jin saw this scene, his face twitched slightly.
Another man attracted by her sister's face.
-
Yu Li had a sumptuous dinner with the girls in the store, and then watched the moon and ate moon cakes in the yard.
Yu Jin took the mooncake and ate it while saying, "The provincial examination will be over in two days. I wonder how my brother-in-law is doing?"
She was always thinking about the provincial examination and was worried that Fu Wenxiao would collapse. She turned to Yu Li and asked if she wanted to ask a doctor to come over and wait for him.
Yu Li said: "No, he is very strong."
As his bedmate, she naturally knew how strong Fu Wenxiao's body was.
Yu Jin sighed, "Okay then."
Since the eldest sister said he would not fall down, there was no need to worry about it anymore. Then she said that the results of the provincial examinations were usually announced in early September, and asked them if they would wait until after the results were announced before returning to the county?
"That's natural." Yu Li said, "A few days won't make a difference anyway."
Yu Jin said: "Okay, I will go back to the county with you then."
The shop in the provincial capital is back on track, so she doesn't have to stay here and can go back to the county town to visit her family.
-
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the provincial examination was also over.
Yu Li still went to the Imperial Examination Hall to pick up Fu Wenxiao in person.
There were many candidates who passed the exam lying down this time, and most of them were not in a very good mental state. Some even broke down and cried when they passed the exam. They probably knew that they did not do well in the exam and would waste three years again.
The reactions of these candidates are varied.
After receiving the person, Yu Li took a closer look and found that Fu Wenxiao's reaction was very calm and his mental state was very good.
Seeing her staring at him, Fu Wenxiao asked, "Ali, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing." She handed him a glass of water. "You are in good spirits."
Fu Wenxiao understood what she meant after a brief thought. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "The provincial examination is not difficult for me, but the environment is not very good."
The environment in the Imperial Examination Hall was like that, and no matter how much he disliked it, there was nothing he could do.
Yu Li said "oh" and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, I heard that the examiners for this provincial examination were sent by the imperial court. Do you know any of them?"
She just thought of this question.
Because she didn't care about his true identity, she usually didn't think about it, so she really ignored it.
Fu Wenxiao paused and said, "I know two of them, but I don't know the others."
"Do they know you?" Yu Li asked again.
He nodded slightly, "I know him. I've seen him in the capital before."
Yu Li was a little worried, "Do they have a grudge against you? Will they suppress you and deliberately make you fail the exam?"
She did not forget that this man was murdered in the past and ended up in Qingshi Village. According to him, he still had enemies in the capital who would definitely continue to harm him.
Seeing her worried, Fu Wenxiao's heart softened. He held her hand and said implicitly, "In fact, it's not a grudge. We just have different positions." Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if they want to suppress me, they dare not suppress me openly. With my reputation in Nanjun Province, if I fail the exam for no reason, those scholars will definitely make a fuss."
Although people always say "scholars are good for nothing", if scholars make trouble, it will cause headaches for the government, and they dare not ignore the importance of scholars.
This was why he specifically attended those literary gatherings to make a name for himself.
His reputation is the best protection.
Yu Li felt relieved after hearing this.
He worked so hard to take part in the provincial examination, so naturally she hoped that he would get what he wanted. If he was suppressed, she would definitely be unhappy.
Fu Wenxiao leaned against the wall of the car, tilted his head to look at her, and suddenly said, "Ali, if they want to suppress me and make me fail the exam, what should I do?"
"Then I'll beat them up!" Yu Li said without thinking, "Don't worry, when I do it, I won't let them see my face, and they definitely won't find out it was me."
The provincial capital is so big and there are so many people, it's not easy to find her.
Fu Wenxiao tilted his head slightly and laughed grimly.
This was the first time that he laughed so happily. If he hadn't been worried about the smell on his body as he had just come out of the Imperial Examination Hall and was afraid of stinking her, he really wanted to hug her tightly.
How can there be such a lovely person...
When they returned to the Wang family's house, Mr. Wang was already waiting there.
When he saw Fu Wenxiao, he was relieved to see that he was in good condition. He patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Fu, take a good rest."
Fu Wenxiao nodded with a smile.
The Wang family specially prepared a banquet to celebrate the completion of Fu Wenxiao's provincial examination.
However, Fu Wenxiao had no appetite, so the whole banquet went into Yu Li's stomach.
When they went to bed at night, Fu Wenxiao was finally able to hold her in his arms, kissed her with a smile, and said, "Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, I was in the room of the Imperial Examination Hall, thinking about you the whole time."
Yu Li said, "I missed you too, so I left a piece of mooncake for you." As she said that, she got up and went to get the mooncake that was specially left for him.
Fu Wenxiao: “…”
The mooncakes were placed in a box. Yu Li picked up the knife and fork prepared beside him and used the knife to cut the mooncakes into small pieces.
In fact, when eating mooncakes, she likes to hold them in her hands and bite them directly. This elegant way of eating, which requires a knife and fork, is naturally the more sophisticated way of eating in wealthy families.
Fu Wenxiao was a particular person, so she asked someone to help her prepare it.
Fu Wenxiao watched her pick up a piece of mooncake and hand it to him. He felt both funny and helpless at the same time.
But he still gladly accepted the belated mooncake.
Fu Wenxiao only ate a small piece of the last mooncake, and the rest went into Yu Li's stomach.
Yu Li patted his belly with satisfaction, "The mooncakes made by the Wang family chef are so delicious. I never get tired of eating them."
Of course you will never get tired of eating them. After all, there is only one Mid-Autumn Festival a year, and people only make mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You only eat them once a year, so it is impossible to get tired of them.
Fu Wenxiao said: "Since you like it, you don't have to leave it to me."
She specially left a piece of mooncake for him, which shows that he is very important in her heart and she would share food with him.
Thinking of this, he felt happy.
Yu Li said: "How can that be possible? Everyone has mooncakes to eat, and you can't be without them. Some must be left for you."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
