After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 87 The end of the exam
I still want to start a small business and make money happily.

She went shopping in her own shop, and then took a closer look at the yard at the back. After estimating what she would spend money on, she went shopping with satisfaction.

She doesn't like to haggle when she's shopping, and she's willing to spend money on things that look expensive but aren't practical.

Su Xiaomu now has a lot of money left in his pocket, and there is no need to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, so he went to the restaurant to eat generously at night.

She ate to her heart's content, and was ready to go home and sleep comfortably with the packaged pastry.

When I moved in on the first night, I bought a huge iron lock. When I was going to sleep, I hung the iron lock on the door, and she kept the key close to her body.

After bathing and washing, she wrapped herself in her silk quilt and slept contentedly, but for some reason, she always felt that she was not at ease tonight.

She didn't hear the neighbor's dog barking, and she couldn't even hear the wind blowing outside the window very clearly.

And I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt as if she heard the sound of heavy objects falling outside, and the sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled.

"It's nothing... Occasionally there will be wild cats at night..."

She tried hard to convince herself that there was a curfew in Fucheng, and there were officials patrolling outside. Although she lived alone, she was much safer than before.

With someone out there protecting you, there's no need to be afraid at all.

But these persuasive words, after the space became more and more quiet, only the sound of her own breathing and creaking could be heard, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.

Countless terrifying conjectures lingered in her mind, her body wrapped in the quilt gradually became cold, her forehead seemed to be a little cold, and her palms were sweating uncontrollably.

She frowned, her eyes were fixed on the direction of the doors and windows, and countless terrifying conjectures kept churning in her heart.

Suddenly a chill rushed up her spine, making her hairs stand on her head, and her whole body trembled.

"Oh!"

With the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside, Su Xiaomu silently pulled out the dagger that was placed under the pillow, carefully lifted the quilt and put on his outer robe, and stuck it to the door.

There are two porcelain vases by the window, which are pressing against the window at the moment.

She took out the fragments of the porcelain bowl that was accidentally broken yesterday and spread it under the window sill, and sprinkled a layer of salt crystals on it.

If someone comes, he will definitely be tricked!
Someone is eyeing her small yard and wants to rob it?
It seems that she bought a lot of things in the past few days, and was targeted by people with malicious intentions.

After doing all this, she tightly held the dagger in her hands and retreated to the door.

Now she regrets why she didn't make some chili water, or make some anti-wolf spray or something like that to keep close to her body.

She didn't know how many people were outside.

But the sound of stealthy footsteps approaching her could be heard slowly getting louder.

She gasped for breath to calm down.

There is a back door in her yard, which is not locked, but is supported by a thick log. If she rushes out now, she should be able to get help from her neighbor.

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Su Xiaomu's eyes, and when the window was opened, he opened the door and ran towards the back door without looking back.

For the first time, she felt that she could run so fast.

It is also the first time that people can burst out with such a strong potential when they are forced to be in a desperate situation!
The piece of wood that she tried before and couldn't push it away with all her strength was pushed down with a snap today.

Then she pushed open the back door, and ran towards her neighbor's house, yelling for help!
"Uncle Zhang, help!"

An hour later.

Su Xiaomu, carrying a simple package, reluctantly checked into the inn where she had been staying before.

She was lucky. Uncle Zhang's family ate too much tonight and couldn't sleep. They sat in the yard while chatting and digesting food.

Hearing movement from her side, the whole family came to help.

They packed up the gangsters and sent them to the government in a few moments, and very kindly invited her to stay at their house for one night.

But Su Xiaomu really didn't want to bother others, and she left a little psychological shadow here tonight, so she politely rejected Uncle Zhang's kindness and went to the inn to rest.

She never went back to her small courtyard,
After going to the government for a while and coming back, she decided to accept Master Guan's suggestion to find a servant who knows how to fight and kick at Ren Yazi to protect her.

After all, in this ancient times, she was alone, knew nothing but earning money, and had no ability to protect herself, so it was really easy to arouse the concern of others.

There are no capable people to back her up. As a weak woman, she is really easy to be bullied by others.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu's desire to find a servant became more and more serious, so he stayed at Renyazi's place every day to pick and choose servants who could kung fu.

And before she picked out a suitable one, it was the day when Gu Jingcheng finished the exam.

"That's all, it's like this today, if you are a newcomer here again, please help me pay more attention to it, just ask it to be the same as before."

Thinking that Gu Jingcheng was about to come out, she really had to pick him up in person.

By the way, just ask him how he did in the exam, and if he has a chance to win the position of leader.

Gu Jingcheng reads so well and writes so well, she still really looks forward to his results.

From the beginning to the end, they are friends after all, although the two of them don't usually get along very well.

"Okay, I'll send someone to find the lady after I've chosen, it's the same position as last time, right?"

Ren Yazi had a very good impression of Su Xiaomu.

It is rare to see such a big-spending guest like her in this whole city.

When it came time for the students to leave the examination room, the examination room was crowded with people and there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages. Su Xiaomu squeezed for a long time but couldn't get in.

Finding a place with a little less people, Su Xiaomu stretched his neck on tiptoe to look for Gu Jingcheng's figure.

It took a long time before I saw Gu Jingcheng's figure in the crowd.

He was wearing a navy blue round-neck gown with Fang Sheng pattern, with a gray hair band hanging down from his hair crown, and his back was straight when he walked towards her.

Under the bright sun, Su Xiaomu felt the warmth from Gu Jingcheng for the first time.

"How was the test?"

She took his burden from his hand and walked forward with him.

"Is the life here okay? I saw that many of them looked pretty when they came out...Although I haven't experienced it, but thinking about it...it doesn't seem so..."

Su Xiaomu felt that the flavor of what she said changed a little as she said it, as if she said that he had just come out of prison.

So he immediately changed the topic in embarrassment: "Before the ranking is announced, you should continue to stay in the inn you used to be.

When I came here just now, I already opened a room for you, and I even ordered a table of your favorite dishes for you. After suffering in there for several days, I must make up for it when I come out. "

"The exam is not bad, just do as you say."
