Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 492 I want to say a chapter

Song Ying thought for a moment and agreed.

There are two examinations to be held. The Lu family is poor and it is difficult for them to afford Lu Xu's accommodation. Lu's mother will definitely not be willing to book a guest room for herself.

She could certainly help Lu's mother pay the rent, but Lu's mother probably didn't want to owe her any more favors.

Moreover, during the exam period, all the inns may have been fully booked, and you won’t be able to stay there even if you have money.

When they met the ladies, they couldn't avoid exchanging pleasantries. However, since they were all worried about their children's college entrance examinations and had no time to play mahjong, the ladies were all distracted while chatting.

Later, Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Tongpan, simply asked Song Ying to take her pulse, saying that she had been worried about her son's exam and had not been able to sleep well in recent days.

In fact, she was not only worried about her son, but also about Pu Yan's college entrance examination.

Ever since the county examination in February, she had been very worried when she understood her daughter's thoughts. She was reluctant to agree, but the magistrate's wife, Mrs. Chen, was watching closely.

She had to arrange her daughter's marriage as soon as possible to put Mrs. Chen's mind to rest, but where could she find a satisfactory son-in-law in such a short time?

After some embarrassment, they compromised. No matter what, it was better than marrying a fool, and Pu Yan's academic performance was indeed good, so there was hope for her to pass the exam.

After Mrs. Liu, Song Ying took the pulses of other ladies and talked about health preservation and maintenance matters. Finally, the afternoon exam was over.

Because this time the exam is anonymous, candidates cannot submit their papers in advance and ask the examiner to take the exam on the spot. All candidates have to wait until the exam is over and leave together.

Therefore, as soon as the dragon gate opened, a sea of candidates walked out. Some had pale faces, as if they had lost their parents, some were energetic and full of confidence, and of course there were more who looked tired.

The academy examination only consists of five questions a day, which is not a large number of questions, but it is a step for advancement as a scholar and the beginning of the road to fame. Even candidates from official families take it seriously. After a day of hard work, they are naturally exhausted.

As soon as Yuan Qing came out, he saw a familiar figure looking at him. He was pleasantly surprised. The fatigue from a day of exams instantly disappeared, and his body seemed to be full of strength again.

He walked over with a smile, "You're here!"

Song Ying nodded, and glanced around guiltily. Seeing that everyone was eagerly waiting for their children and no one was paying attention to her, she smiled back and asked, "How did you do on the exam?"

Yuan Qing smiled and was about to answer when a surprised voice sounded from behind, "Sister Song Ying! Why are you here?"

The smile on Yuan Qing's face disappeared instantly, and his forehead twitched: Why is this guy still hanging around? They just said a few words!

Shen Jing was completely unaware of how annoying he was. He rushed over and answered, "Oh, this is tough. Tao Tixue is indeed worthy of his reputation. The questions are so difficult, and the first one is from the Five Classics. I'm done!"

He drew out the last three words, sounding as if he had lost his parents.

Without waiting for Song Ying to say anything, he asked again, "Sister Song Ying, why did you come to the capital today?"

Song Ying glanced at Yuan Qing, looked around, and found Lu's mother, who was still craning her neck to look for Lu Xu not far away. She whispered, "Auntie Lu didn't see Master Lu yesterday, and she's worried that Taoist Yuanrong is a bad guy and is trying to murder Master Lu. After all, I was the one who set this up in the first place, so I'm accompanying her to Shunqing Mansion."

When his eyes met hers, Yuan Qing immediately understood that she had come here specially because she was worried about him. The depression caused by Shen Jing interrupting him immediately dissipated. A hint of smile overflowed from the corners of his eyes, like honey flowing from the tip of his heart to the tip of his eyebrows.

However, Shen Jing didn't hear the hint of guilt in Song Ying's tone, nor did he notice her evasive eyes. Hearing her words, he even temporarily put aside his frustration about the exam.

He slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "How could Taoist Master Yuanrong be a bad guy? He is a person with real supernatural powers. You didn't see it. When we saw Brother Lu this morning, we were a little hesitant to recognize him. In that state, if his appearance had not changed, we would have suspected that he was a different person.

You're not scared at all when you enter the exam room. You're in a better situation than me! Sister, you're really something. You knew about such a capable master, but you didn't tell me in advance. If I could also go to Qingfeng Temple to retreat for a few months, I might have been able to pass this time."

"Well... I just heard it from someone, I didn't know he was so powerful." Song Ying made up a story with a stiff upper lip.

"Is that so? That's what I was saying. If you knew about this good thing, you would definitely not forget me and Brother Yuan." Shen Jing happily accepted this statement.

Song Ying glanced at Yuan Qing again, "When is your next exam? Do you want to go back and rest early?"

Yuan Qing smiled slightly and was about to speak when Shen Jing said again, "There's no need to take the second exam. Tao Ti Xue will be rushing to Ma Hu Mansion to preside over the college entrance examination in half a month, so there will only be one exam."

Yuan Qing: "..."

He just wanted to say something to Song Ying, why was it so difficult?

He gritted his teeth, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Mrs. Shen frowning and thinking not far away. A smile suddenly spread across his face, and he waved politely and called out, "Mrs. Shen, Shen Jing is over here."

Mrs. Shen came back to her senses, suppressed the complicated expression on her face, and walked over with several servants leading the way.

"Mom, you're here."

Mrs. Shen's already bad mood became even worse. Not only did she not bring her eyes, but she also did not bring her brain.

While he is taking the exam, as his mother, I will definitely stay outside.

He was so good that after leaving the examination room, he didn't look for his mother first. Instead, he went up to the girl and kept talking, not realizing that he was wrong.

Mrs. Shen's eyebrows immediately raised: "You know you didn't do well in the exam, but you are still embarrassing yourself here. Come back with me immediately."

Shen Jing thought his mother was blaming him for not doing well on the test, so he shrank his neck and said, "Mom, it's not that I didn't try my best, the questions were really difficult."

This mallet!

Mrs. Shen's eyebrows bulged with anger as she glared at him, "The results haven't come out yet. Everything is still uncertain. Why are you so depressed right now? Go home and have a good rest for the next two days."

After saying this, Mrs. Shen didn't give her son a chance to speak. She smiled and said to Song Ying, "It's getting late. We can't go back. Doctor Song, why don't you stay at my humble abode for one night?"

Mrs. Bai, who was not far away, heard this and smiled, "You're too late. Doctor Song has already agreed to come to my house tonight. Zhen'er is not feeling well, and I was thinking of asking her to examine her tomorrow and prescribe a prescription for her health."

Mrs. Shen knew that Bai Zhen fell ill due to grief after losing her husband and had been bedridden for many years. She nodded when she heard this and said, "That's good. Doctor Xiao Song is very skilled. Let her take a good look at my niece."

I understand the pain of losing a husband, but being unable to get over it is not a good thing either. It could be considered a disease.”

Mrs. Bai's breathing tightened, and she looked at Mrs. Shen's expression calmly. These words seemed to imply something.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see any clues from Mrs. Shen's face.
