after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 546 Jealous
Chapter 546 Jealous
The follow-up matters of buying a shop at home were left to Liu Quan. Lin Yuesha concentrated on studying the food of the new shop. If she took the commoner route, she had to cook fast dishes, and made several signature dishes with similar tastes from the north and the south, and braised pork was a must.

During Xiao Qi's scientific research, the family's hearts were always in suspense. Although his mother, Mrs. Chen, kept silent, she often lost her mind and expressed her worries.

Lin Yuesha doesn't have such a strong desire to win. She thinks that she can't put too much pressure on her stepbrother. These days, the hit rate of scientific examinations is much more difficult than the key points of modern examinations. How many people with gray hair still enter the examination room, just for one Fame.

"Mother is a woman who doesn't understand scientific examinations, but I heard from Mrs. Xu that if there are people in the family who take scientific examinations, they will send a servant to guard outside."

The imperial examination lasted for three days, and emergencies may occur at any time. If the examinee is not suitable, someone will be taken out to take care of him.

The capital city is no better than the north, it is already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the people under the sun at noon are sweating profusely. Mrs. Chen heard that the examination room is closed, and flies and mosquitoes are flying around in it. , was affected and could not concentrate on scientific research.

There are bad luck in every imperial examination. No matter how good your knowledge is, you will either quit early or fail to answer the questions after such a toss.

"Mother wants to go and see."

Mrs. Chen hardly went out after arriving in the capital, so she was really worried at the moment, so she brought it up on her own initiative.

With Fang Dazhuang at home, Lin Yuesha wanted to say that she didn't need her mother to go, but she thought that it would be a good thing for Mrs. Chen to go out for a walk, and she couldn't just agree to it just because she was hiding from her scumbag father and kept shutting the door.

"Mom, then I'll go with you."

Hundreds of test centers were set up in the capital, and the scholars drew lots, and the one Xiao Qi got was near Taipingfang.

"Then let's go now."

Chen stood up impatiently, but was stopped by Lin Yuesha.

"Mom, change your dress."

Lin Yuesha recalled that from Beidi to the capital, Chen never put her heart into dressing up.

Counting his age, Mrs. Chen is only in his early thirties, always wearing gray dresses, making him look ten years older.

In the past, the family was poor, and Mrs. Chen focused on subsidizing the family and didn't have the spare money to buy clothes, but now it's different. The family specially set aside a warehouse to store fabrics, as well as the ready-made clothes that Lin Yuesha brought back from Jinxiu Building.

Rather than putting it in the corner to collect dust, it is better to wear it out, dress up beautifully, and make yourself feel better.

"Mother, this dress is very good."

Chen looked down and stroked the hem of the clothes with her hands, but she didn't find anything inappropriate.

The clothes are freshly washed, clean, not worn or patched.

"Mother, you don't know that in the capital, no matter rich or poor, women have to dress up when they go out. This is a custom, and it seems to be well-mannered.

There are almost no women who don't like delicate dresses and jewelry, but Chen is used to being frugal, and her first reaction is not to dress up but to keep them. She likes to save her favorite things, and she has a mentality similar to that of a little hamster.

Lin Yuesha had no choice but to use the rules to talk things out, and fooled your mother, Mrs. Chen.

"Yes ma'am, you have to dress up so that outsiders see that you are the son's mother, and the etiquette is not bad, so the son will not be talked about."

Nanny Fang understood, and then joined in as Lin Yuesha's assist, Chen was quickly persuaded.

Yes, I heard that scholars are the most competitive, if she goes out in too plain clothes, it is easy to cause Xiao Qi to be despised.

After Mrs. Chen agreed, she took Mother Fang to the inner room to dress up. After a while, she changed into a dress and put on a jade hairpin.Although it looks simple and uncomplicated, it will never be underestimated.

"Auntie, you look ten years younger."

Jiang Baozhu pretended to widen her eyes, and said in surprise.

"Baozhu, I'm still not used to this."

Chen's temperament is soft, and her ears are red immediately when she is praised. This kind of dress is really like those rich ladies, which makes her very uncomfortable, and she doesn't know where to put her hands when she walks.

"Mother, the first time is raw and the second time is familiar. Don't stay at home all the time, you should go out for a stroll."

Lin Yuesha took the opportunity to persuade her mother that she hired someone to do the business of the family and let the servants do the work. As for the parents, it is good to drink tea and enjoy the flowers when they have nothing to do, and don't worry about other things.

"I……"

Chen Shi was still very timid. She thought that the capital is so big, and she might not be able to meet Lin Shusheng after going out, so she was not so afraid.

A group of people took a carriage and went straight to Taipingfang. The test site was surrounded by government servants. There were tea sheds in the shade of trees on both sides, waiting for the servants and family members of the candidates.

"Miss, madam, there is still no movement inside."

When Fang Dazhuang saw someone coming, he quickly ran out from the corner, carrying a package on his back, which contained some pills, cloth towels and other things.

"That's good."

There was no shelter in the test center, and the sun was shining everywhere. Chen shielded his forehead with his hand, feeling a little worried.

In a closed small space, relying on a little rations for three days, even a strong man in good health can't stand it, let alone a scholar who can't carry it on his shoulders or hands.

"Just relax, the young master is absolutely fine."

My young lady kept winking, Fang Dazhuang saw it, he scratched his head, he was clumsy with his tongue, he was not very good at comforting others, but before the young master entered the door, he had told him not to wait outside the door deliberately.

Come to think of it, the young master has confidence in his own strength.

"Well, Ting Yun is an honest boy, he never speaks big things."

When Xiao Qi said this, Chen Shi really relaxed a little, and asked Nanny Fang to drive the carriage to a shaded place, and she waited here for a while.

Lin Yuesha twitched the corners of her mouth. In order to comfort her mother's dry mouth, she never stopped on the way here, but the effect was not very good. It's not as good as her stepbrother said, Xiao Qi is an honest child, isn't she?

For the first time in her life, Lin Yuesha was jealous of Xiao Qi.She even thought sarcastically that her stepbrother was either being honest or extremely treacherous.

"Doctor, are you there?"

Just as the group was about to get into the carriage, there was a sound from the door of the test center ahead.

"Is there any family member of Mr. Bai?"

The yamen servant raised his voice to the crowd and shouted several times.

However, the crowd was very calm, only people came to see the fun, but no one responded.

"Is there any family member of Mr. Bai, quickly find him a doctor."

The yamen servants raised their voices and shouted loudly, but still no one made a sound. They directly threw the person out of the test center and left him on the street.

Under the scorching sun, the scholar was lying on all fours like a salted fish, foaming from his mouth.

Chen's heart that was originally let go lifted up again, she ran her hands along her chest, and asked Lin Yuesha, "Little girl, is it a little bad for people to be exposed to the sun?"

Lin Yuesha nodded, it was more than bad, Mr. Bai must have suffered from heatstroke, if he lay down like this for a quarter of an hour, he might die.
