Fair Lady

The news in the examination room always spread quickly at the first time.

On the fifth day, an examinee fainted and was carried out;

On the sixth day, another birth attendant suffered from abdominal cramps and was carried out with a pale face;

On the seventh day, two people were carried out;

On the eighth day, a student was bitten by a poisonous snake hiding on the roof of the No. [-] house, and died of the poison soon;

On the ninth day, at Shenshi, the bell of the Tribute Court of the Ministry of Rites rang, and the exams were over, and the students came out one after another. Follow the class.

Seeing the gray-faced, half-dead students come out, some of them couldn't even lift the test basket, and they were supported and half-carried as soon as they came out, Shuwen murmured softly: "This doesn't look like coming here. Exam?" It's like being punished for nine days.

Shuyao gave him an angry look, anxiously looking for Shujie.

Shujie's appearance is particularly eye-catching, because he... is so energetic, he easily carries the test basket and the neatly folded bedding, his back is as straight as a poplar, his hair is in an uncluttered bun, his eyes are piercing, It was sunny, except for some creases on the blue robe, it almost made people think that he had missed the exam time and had just arrived to prepare for the exam.

In addition to Shu Jie, there are two other people who look very "different" among a group of half-dead candidates. One is Zhengran who is always dressed in black, and the other is Mu Yongqi, the eldest son of Weiyuan Houfu.

Zheng Ran nodded to Shu Jie from a distance, as a greeting, Shu Jie also nodded in return.They are all relatively introverted people, and it is impossible to greet them loudly or hook their shoulders.

Zhengran's gaze searched along the direction of Shujie's progress, and he saw Shuyao in a lotus-colored dress, the corners of his mouth were bent upwards, and the little fairy seemed to be taller again.

The moment he turned his head, Zhengran's face returned to coolness, and he said to Zuo Qing and Zuo He: "Let's go, I have to wash myself well."

When Shujie saw a pair of younger siblings, his eyes lit up immediately.There was also a smile on the handsome face, and the whole person softened, and he put his arms around the shoulders of his younger siblings: "Yaoer, Wener, the eldest brother is back."

Yong Jin had already taken the test basket and quilt from Shujie, and said with a chuckle, "Young Master, how do you feel? I think those people seem to have peeled off a layer of skin."

Shuwen smugly "twittered": "What's the matter with my elder brother?" Those nerds are usually powerless, and it is already very good to survive for nine days, but Shujie let alone these nine days, how many more? There will be no problem for nine days.What's more, the food and water that Shuyao prepared for Shujie were all spirit-enhancing, even if other people ate them, they would double their energy.

For example, Mu Yongqi who was holding Xiao Wu's hand and walking towards them, although not as radiant as Shu Jie.But compared to other candidates, it is already a world of difference.

Shuyao smiled and said, "Aunt Lan and Uncle are waiting for us in the mansion. Brother, we will go back after having dinner at the Hou Mansion today. I'll send someone to bring your change of clothes over."

Shuwen cheerfully snatched up the conversation: "Aunt Lan said that she would like to comfort you and brother Qi, and there is good news to tell you. We will have a little sister soon."

"Little sister?" Shujie was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses and smiled at Mu Yongqi, who already knew the good news, and said, "Congratulations. You don't have to envy me in the future."

When they returned to the Marquis Mansion in Weiyuan, Lord Hou and Yao Xuelan were also surprised to see that these two were in such good spirits: "It doesn't look like you just came back from the examination room."

Mu Yongqi proudly said: "Isn't it? Eat well and sleep well. The spirit is good. This time it's also nine days, and I feel much better than the last time I tried it. My stomach doesn't feel uncomfortable, and my head doesn't swell. I feel that my thoughts are much smoother. Yaoer, Brother Qi really wants to thank you this time."

Shuyao smiled and said: "Brother Qi is being polite, Yao'er just pays more attention when preparing things, many of them were taught to us by my mother before."

Seeing his son's reaction, Marquis Weiyuan knew that he should have done well in the exam this time. Mu Yongqi's results in the rural exam were not very good, and he had just entered the list, so he didn't have much hope for the end of the exam.

However, the title of the Mu family has lasted for ten generations, and his generation is only the third generation. Mu Yongqi had confirmed his status as the heir last month, so he was bound to become a noble. The next exam was just to verify his talents, and Mu Yongqi was only 17 Years old, only after three years, you can take the exam again if you want.

Looking at Mu Yongqi's full confidence now, he probably won't have to wait three years before taking the exam.

If it is said that the food made by Shuyao has such powerful effects, Marquis Weiyuan really doesn't believe it, but he believes that Shuyao is a child who can bring good fortune to their family.Ever since the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao arrived in the capital, Madam is happy and Xiao Wu has become more and more obedient, and now Madam is unexpectedly pregnant with another child...

Marquis Weiyuan was in a good mood: the husband and wife are loving, the son is sensible and uplifting, if he can get another daughter this time, hehe, there are really no regrets in life.

After Shujie and Mu Yongqi took a bath, they returned to the flower hall refreshed, and the maids began to serve the dishes. Yao Xuelan said with a smile: "Today is the dishes that both of you like, so eat more. The hardships of the nine days have all been made up for. Especially Brother Jie, the martial arts exam will start in a few days, so he has to recover his spirit quickly."

Shuyao also said: "Today Aunt Lan personally cooked for brother Qi's favorite eight-treasure duck and big brother's favorite braised hoof, you should eat more." Fortunately, Yao Xuelan's pregnancy is easy, Apart from drowsiness, she didn't have any uncomfortable reactions, and the smell of oily smoke from cooking didn't make her feel sick, and she enjoyed the delicious smell.

Mama Liu, Mama Song and others said that Yao Xuelan must have a little lady in her belly, and that's why she is so cute and caring for her, which made Yao Xuelan even happier to hear it.Shuyao also often jokes, calling "sister" over and over again, because she knows that this fetus is indeed a girl.

Physician Xu came again yesterday, and praised Yao Xuelan's stable pregnancy, all aspects are in good condition, which is very rare among "senior" mothers like Yao Xuelan.

Shuyao was secretly relieved that during these nine days, she had been by Yao Xuelan's side every day, and whenever possible, she would put food, water, fetal medicine, etc. into a mahogany box to increase her spirit.All she wants is to let Aunt Lan give birth to a healthy and lovely daughter in peace, to make up for the guilt of her previous life.

After listening to Shuyao's words, Shujie was very grateful to Yao Xuelan, but he didn't show any pretense, he just responded affectionately: "Hehe, Aunt Lan, I'm missing the braised hoofs you made, I must eat more today, these few days There is no oil or water in the stomach."

really.Yao Xuelan was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear: "Eat more, eat more, the martial arts test is more strenuous, if you like it, Aunt Lan will make it for you again, you little sister is very good. You don't make any fuss in the kitchen, maybe It will be delicious in the future."

Marquis Weiyuan was not happy, and immediately "complained for grievances" for his precious daughter: "My daughter loves the two elder brothers, she is not delicate, how can it be delicious?"

Everyone laughed, and Mu Yongqi said: "There is nothing wrong with delicious food. She is the youngest one, and she can't even be petted. Are you afraid that there will be nothing to eat? If we don't eat it, we won't lose her. "There is really a little sister who is the jewel in the palm of the Marquis of Weiyuan, who likes to eat, is as healthy and cute as Yao'er, and doesn't fall down when the wind blows.

Mu Shuiling knew that Mu Yongqi was back, so she rushed over to visit.From afar, I felt the scene of bursts of laughter and happiness, and I just arrived at the door.Hearing the words of Marquis Weiyuan and Mu Yongqi again, he stopped, and the sour taste in his heart almost overflowed.

Now that the aunt's womb is still not sure that it is a girl, she has already gathered thousands of pets, and if she is really a girl when she is born, what status does she have?Is she going to be like those cousins ​​who are also concubines, so humble that she is almost forgotten, and even the servants despise her a bit?

Recently, Yao Xuelan has been lethargic, and the Marquis of Weiyuan loves his beloved wife and precious daughter dearly, temporarily exempting the concubine, concubine, concubine and aunts from paying their respects, so that Yao Xuelan can sleep leisurely every day until he wakes up naturally, Mu Shuiling has not seen his father for several days and mother.She felt that she was almost forgotten.

Mu Shuiling is now 12 and a half years old, and under the influence of Aunt Hong, she has already started to worry about her future marriage.Before she was the only daughter of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, her aunt treated her well, and Aunt Hong always told her that sooner or later she would be raised by her aunt to become a daughter of the aunt. The mistress of the princely family.

Therefore, the seemingly "cowardly" Mu Shuiling has cultivated a very high spirit, not to mention the concubines in other mansions, even his two concubine brothers, and the concubine and concubine daughter in the uncle's mansion, she looks down on them because she I am different from them, sooner or later she will be a "first daughter".

But now, because of the authentic daughter in the aunt's stomach, she is in a mess.

Aunt Hong prayed in front of the Avalokitesvara statue every day, so that Yao Xuelan could give birth to a young master, or she would simply die in her womb without giving birth.Mu Shuiling also prayed, she couldn't care less about being jealous of Shuyao now, even, hearing what her father and eldest brother said at this moment, she agreed with her aunt's idea: make friends with Shuyao and instigate Shuyao , Borrowing Shuyao's hand to get rid of the child in the mother's womb, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, she turned to Shuyao and smiled to show her goodwill.Shuyao is an adult in her 20s, and she knows Mu Shuiling's crazy jealousy and viciousness under her "cowardly" appearance very well, so she was "moved" by her sudden "show of favor", and she just responded lightly. With a smile, he turned around and chatted with Shujie.In her last life, she didn't have much contact with Mu Shuiling, and in this life, she doesn't want to have any entanglements with this person.

The olive branch she threw didn't get the expected enthusiastic response, Mu Shuiling hated it secretly, almost biting her own teeth.She had put down her figure, but she didn't expect that the street girl who "occupied the magpie's nest" would still ignore her.

However, her number one "natural enemy" is not Xia Shuyao, but the one in the aunt's stomach. If Shuyao doesn't take the bait, what should she do?My aunt said that their mother and daughter must not do it themselves, otherwise they will die in an ugly way. Neither the father nor the aunt are easy to fool, and the father doesn't like the mother and daughter in the first place, so it's strange that he will spare them lightly.

Mu Shuiling could only pray to God to bless her, and bless her aunt to give birth to a son.

When Mu Shuiling came to his senses, everyone had already gone to the table to eat, and no one noticed that she hadn't left yet.

Mu Shuiling turned around and went out, with tears in her eyes, and a warm greeting behind her:

"Yao'er eats more fish, that's good."

"Come here, madam, have some chicken soup with three delicacies, our daughter will definitely like it."
