Chapter 166 Mint Leaf Refreshing Brain

Fearing that something might go wrong, Shen Lanqing wanted to go over earlier, so she naturally turned her head to look in Fu Sinian's direction with eagerness in her eyes, and the boy simply trotted towards her.

"Miss Shen, this is for you—"

Fu Sinian stamped his feet, his breathing quickly calmed down, his eyes became even brighter, and the corner of his mouth smiled a bit slyly.

I saw a small cluster of tender green round leaves in the boy's hand, the jagged edges still carry the morning dew, and the color of the tender green leaves makes people feel comfortable.

"This is... a mint leaf?"

"That's right! Miss Shen, I've been thinking about how to send you to prepare for the county exam. This is the most suitable thing I can think of. You can't bring food with you in the government office, but a few decorative green leaves don't matter."

"The time spent inside is not short, and it consumes the candidates' mental and physical strength. If Ms. Shen feels sleepy, she picks a mint leaf and chews it in her mouth. It is very refreshing at critical times."

"To tell you the truth, I also used this method in the academy. Ms. Shen might as well try it. Don't worry, I have inquired about it in advance. This thing is not in the way."

"Furthermore..."

Fu Sinian paused, causing Shen Lanqing to look at him curiously.

"Miss Shen, don't move!"

As Fu Sinian said, he suddenly grabbed Shen Lanqing's shoulders to keep her still. Under his strength, Shen Lanqing lowered his head subconsciously. Taking advantage of this moment, Fu Sinian had quick eyesight and quick hands, and aimed at the girl's black bun, and used mint leaf Soft stem inserted.

Fresh and fresh green mint leaves, with a cool mint smell, just bloomed on the top of Shen Lanqing's head as a hair accessory. The woman who sensed Fu Sinian's intentions did not resist, and when his figure left, Shen Lanqing tentatively touched it with her hand.

She still wanted to say something, but the yamen servant at the gate of Yu Guangzhong's government office began to urge her, time was running out, Shen Lanqing hurriedly turned her head to signal to the boy.

Knowing that today was an important day for her, Fu Sinian didn't dare to hold her back, and quickly motioned her to go as soon as possible. Seeing the woman's figure getting smaller and smaller in sight, he suddenly called her name again.

Shen Lanqing had just passed the inspection of the female yamen servant, and there seemed to be a familiar voice in her ear. When she crossed the threshold, she subconsciously turned her head and searched for the familiar figure of that person in the crowd.

Finally, Fu Sinian was seen waving at her again in the nearest crowd.

"Miss Shen, you can do your scientific research inside at ease, and you will be able to see me again after you come out—"

The scholars going to the scientific examination basically finished checking, and when the vermilion gate was slowly closing, Shen Lanqing seemed to have heard what Fu Sinian said to him, but the waving hands of the man beside him made the originally clear boy's face intermittent, until The door was about to be completely closed with only a small gap left by the fist.

Shen Lanqing could barely see the shape of Fu Sinian's mouth, which seemed to be calling her own name. Subconsciously, she raised her eyebrows and waved to the young man in the crowd.

The lacquered red door was completely closed, completely isolating the interior of the government office from the outside. Shen Lanqing touched the mint leaf that was still standing on her head, and the corners of her lips curved again. Then she took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality and turned towards herself Go to the corresponding room.

During the county examination, the shops at the gate of the government office were closed for three days, and the market was very quiet.

Until the sun set in the west rose for the third time, the guards on the streets began to relax, the shops on the street reopened, and the gates of the Chang'an government office were full of eagerly awaited relatives and friends.

The ladies who don't go out of the mansion on weekdays, along with the housekeeper, have prepared their carriages and waited at the gate of the mansion. Writing essays for the imperial examination is an extremely exhausting task.

As the door valves on the dark gate fell, the situation inside the mansion slowly came into view as the lacquered red gate opened and closed. The courtyard was still empty, and the lion heads guarding both sides of the mansion had huge Yuanzhu, accompanied by the government office with a big knife on his waist, with a disdainful majesty made everyone who was waiting at the door subconsciously hold their breath.

At the gate of the courtyard, there was a creaking sound of the wooden door, and the first disheveled scholar walked out after pushing the door, and then it seemed that the valve was opened, and the sound of door opening sounded continuously, and scholars with wooden boxes came to the courtyard one after another, and walked out of the mansion Ya.

When the first scholar stepped out of the gate of the government office, the old mother who had been waiting in the crowd couldn't help shouting, the originally silent door of the government office suddenly seemed to be boiling water, and the emotions stored in the bottom of my heart were gone again. Nor do they hide it.

Fu Sinian lifted up his flying fish suit, and while maintaining order, he couldn't help but stare at the gate of the government office. He also saw a few female scholars in his sight, and they didn't look very good when they came out.

The boy frowned, feeling anxious while waiting.

More and more scholars left the scientific research office, and after a quarter of an hour, even the group of relatives and friends waiting at the door was reduced by more than half, and everyone was busy taking their children home and hosting a banquet for them.

But Fu Sinian looked around, but still didn't see Shen Lanqing's shadow.

At this moment, most of the people at the gate of the government office dispersed. Fu Sinian greeted the brothers behind him, and then quickly stepped on the threshold and entered the empty courtyard of the government office. Open it, revealing the simple desks and chairs inside.

The boy's eyes naturally turned to the front, looking at the two doors that were still closed. Fu Sinian unconsciously stroked the Xiuchun knife slung around his waist with his fingers, with a rare and disturbed expression.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound from the door of the house, and a small crack was exposed on the door leaf. In Fu Sinian's expectant gaze, an old man in his sixties walked out, with a disheveled face, staring blankly at the courtyard entrance. The young man stepped out of the threshold and was almost stunned by the threshold. His sallow complexion looked very embarrassed.

Disappointment flashed across Fu Sinian's eyes, and then he felt lucky again. Then, another door creaked, and the boy's hand touching the scabbard hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to look up and look over there, a woman's familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, With the coolness of sweet spring water.

"Fu Sinian—"

The pupils of the boy who turned around were bright, Shen Lanqing was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that it was really him.

"Have you left yet?"

Shen Lanqing looked at Fu Sinian with surprise in her eyes, but Handai Yuanshan's eyebrows softened at this moment before she even noticed it.

With concern in his eyes, Fu Sinian looked Shen Lanqing up and down.

The dark blue skirt on the woman's body is slightly wrinkled, but her back is straight and unshakable. The hair that naturally floats around her cheeks cannot hide her beauty, and her complexion is much better than the paleness when she first entered the government office, although her expression is a little tired. But it was hard to hide his clear eyes.

Seeing that she was in good condition and not as distraught as the others, the heart that Fu Sinian had inexplicably raised finally fell steadily. He naturally took Shen Lanqing's bookcase and walked out of the mansion side by side with her.

He waved to the Jin Yiwei brothers who had greeted him, and then took Shen Lanqing into the carriage that had been prepared. Some yam cakes were prepared in advance in the carriage, just to nourish his stomach.

As soon as Fu Sinian opened the box of pastries, the smell shot out. He ate the food from the government office for three consecutive days. Although he was not hungry, he was not satisfied. At this moment, there were cakes as soon as he left the government office, and Shen Lanqing naturally did not refuse.

The grunt of the carriage wafted, Shen Lanqing ate yam cake, and then ate two pieces of tea from Fu Sinian before it subsided.

However, Fu Sinian always handed her fresh fruit plates, Shen Lanqing had no choice but to eat some more one after another.

　Hahahahaha.

　　It is absolutely unexpected to send Miss Shen mint leaves!
