Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 107 Eyes
  While Zhao Wangshu and Li Lingjuan were shopping, Zhao Yin was writing inkstone while thinking about the four book questions.

With a confident mind, you can write like you have a spirit.

In an hour's time, his first inscription on the Four Books was completed.

Having to stay in this examination room for three days, Zhao Yin was worried that the weather would change. Zhao Yin devoted himself wholeheartedly. By noon, he had already completed three questions from the Four Books.

At noon, he took out the water bag, poured half of the bag of water into the small iron pot, and placed it on the charcoal basin. He then took out the rice balls that Zhao Wangshu had prepared for him and placed them on the iron plate.

After a while, the water boiled and the rice balls were heated. I made tea in a cup, ate five rice balls with the tea, moved my body, and sat down to continue doing the questions.

At this time, Li Lingjuan, who followed Zhao Wangshu to the restaurant for dinner, was still thinking about him, "Brother Zhao is in Gongyuan, do you know if there is anything to eat?"

"Lingjun, if I remember correctly, you and I made the rice balls together yesterday." Zhao Wangshu reminded her.

Li Lingjuan laughed twice and said, "I hope Brother Zhao will succeed in one fell swoop and never have to suffer like this again."

"You just hope that my brother will succeed in one fell swoop?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a wicked smile.

"And my father and Uncle Zhao." Li Lingjuan quickly added.

Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said, "The fried rice is here, eat it quickly."

As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. Zhao Yin tossed and turned on the wooden bed. After just lying there for a while, he was shivering with cold and his whole body was stiff.

From the exam halls on both sides, there was the sound of stamping feet. It seemed that the two candidates were also freezing.

It was too cold to sleep. In order to have energy to write the topic tomorrow, Zhao Yin got up and added two sticks of charcoal to the charcoal basin. He remembered that his sister brought him a lot of charcoal.

The flames jumped and the warm breath gradually spread. Zhao Yin felt that his body was gradually getting warmer. At this time, he suddenly heard bursts of hurried footsteps coming from outside.

He looked around suspiciously and saw a group of figures running towards this side.

"What happened?" asked the candidate in the exam number on the left.

Zhao Yin felt the same confusion. When he saw clearly that the person coming was a soldier, his heart skipped a beat. Something happened to one of the candidates.

Sure enough, not long after, the soldiers carried out a candidate from an examination number.

"Don't even look at it. Go to bed quickly. If you look around again, you will be disqualified from the exam."

As soon as these words came out, the candidates immediately withdrew their exam numbers, lay down on the wooden beds and closed their eyes to sleep.

In the first exam in the spring of the fifteenth year of Chongyuan, this was not the only candidate who was carried out. Two more candidates were carried out in the morning of the next day, fifteen were carried out in the evening, and seven more candidates were carried out in the morning of the third day.

If you don't have good health, you won't be able to survive the examination.

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the lunar month, with the sound of the cloud board, the first exam was over and the candidates could go home from the Gongyuan.

The candidates who had stayed up for three days and two nights had pale faces and weak legs.

Zhao Yin followed the flow of people and stepped out of the dragon gate.

Axiang stood near the front and saw his young master at a glance. He went up to support him and said, "Master, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. The master hasn't come out yet?" Zhao Yin asked.

"The master hasn't come out yet, master."

Zhao Cheng also came out, but his condition was not as good as Zhao Yin. His face was pale and his head was sweating. Luo Shan quickly stepped forward to support him.

He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, "It's great. I, Zhao Cheng, have finally finished this first exam."

Looking at the candidates being carried out one by one, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to make it through. But when he thought of two more tests to go, he felt gloomy.

"Master, are you okay?" Luo Shan asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Yin'er, how do you feel?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"I'm okay." Zhao Yin said.

"Master, you and the young master are both tired, why don't you get in the car first." A Xiang said. "Yes, let's get in the car and go back to the house first." Zhao Cheng nodded and said.

Zhao Yin and Zhao Cheng got on the carriage one after another. There were hot tea and snacks prepared in the carriage.

Back home, Mrs. Zhao and Li had already had hot water prepared. The two of them took a hot bath, ate a bowl of meat porridge, and fell asleep regardless of day or night.

He slept until early the next morning. The first thing Zhao Cheng said when he woke up was, "This test is too tiring."

He became even more determined that if he failed in this subject, he would never take the exam again.

"Master is awake." Zhao Li came in.

"Yin'er hasn't woken up yet?" Zhao Cheng asked.

Mrs. Zhao Li opened the curtain and said outside: "Master is awake. Hurry and pour water in." She ordered the maid before answering his question, "You woke up early. After sleeping like this, are you hungry?"

Then he brought some clothes and asked him to put them on.

The maid brought toiletries. After Zhao Cheng washed up, the couple came out of the house and saw Li Lingjuan jumping in from the outside, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Lingjun is here, Wangshu is in the kitchen." Mrs. Zhao Li said with a smile.

"Then I'll go find Wang Shu." Li Lingjuan's face turned red and she ran towards the kitchen.

Zhao Cheng and his wife looked at each other and smiled. Looking at Li Lingjuan's back, Zhao Cheng said, "Lingjuan is a pretty good child. After the test is over, you can ask Yin'er what she wants. If she likes it, she can propose marriage to the Li family. Our family doesn’t care about family status.”

"Don't mess around here. Yin'er has no feelings for Lingjun and treats him as a sister." Mrs. Zhao Li had seen Yun Hao look at Zhao Wangshu with fiery and affectionate eyes.

This is one of the reasons why she is getting better and better towards Yun Hao. It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover.

The look in Zhao Yin's eyes when he looked at Li Lingjuan was calm and indifferent.

"That's it, let's see again." Zhao Cheng didn't have many requirements for Zhao Yin to marry a wife, as long as he liked it.

"If I weren't afraid that Lingxuan would be upset and affect Mr. Li's examination, I would have made it clear to the Li family a long time ago. I will tell Mrs. Li and Lingxuan after the examination."

The couple entered the Nuan Pavilion while talking.

In the kitchen, Zhao Wangshu and Li Lingjuan took their maids to bake dried meat.

"My father came out of Gongyuan, his face was as pale as a ghost." Li Lingjuan said.

"In Gongyuan, if you don't eat well or sleep well, no one will look good if you stay up for two nights." Zhao Wangshu took the chopsticks and turned the dried meat over.

"Wangshu, do you think Brother Zhao will win the first prize in the examination? He is the best scholar in this field." Li Lingjuan said with great expectation.

"Although I also hope that my brother can get the top prize, there is only one top pick, but there are many top picks." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"That's true." Li Lingjuan said.

The two of them were baking meat while talking.

Soon, a scent filled the entire kitchen, and the aroma of meat jerky made people salivate.

"Okay!" Zhao Wangshu took out a piece of dried meat, put it under his nose and smelled it, "Well, the aroma is fragrant, it should be roasted."

Place the dried meat in bamboo mats to cool, cut into small pieces, and wrap in oil paper.

In the afternoon, the Zhao family and his son packed things for the second game.

Having prepared everything needed for the exam, the father and son took a break early.

Similarly, I got up at midnight, took the food prepared by my family, and carried the examination box. After being searched, I entered the Gongyuan again and started the second examination.

　I write the article, you read the article, let's love each other.
