Jiang was still a little surprised when she learned the news, and when Song Yao came back in the evening, she brought up the matter when the two of them were alone together.

Song Yao slapped the table, glared at him and said, "Madam, do you think your husband's head has been hanging on his neck for too long?" Can you just say something like that? No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to do anything to the Holy One. ”

"Two days ago, it was suddenly colder, and the saint was greedy for cold, so he didn't add clothes, so he fell ill, and in the eyes of his wife, his ability to be a husband was too great."

The two of them whispered in the room, fortunately, there was no one on the side, otherwise Song Yao would have been scared into a cold sweat, could he say such things casually? If he dared to drug the current saint, then this family would not be able to live.

Jiang Shi saw that he was angry, but he was not afraid, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, master, I was just thinking, this matter is too much of a coincidence, I originally wanted to prevent the emperor from meeting Tiankuo, but who knew that at this juncture, the emperor fell ill." ”

Song Yao said, "It's really a coincidence, but what we said before must be done according to the plan, even if the saint can't see anyone, there are so many ministers in this hall, everyone has eyes, who can't see the child's appearance?" Since Madame wants to protect him safely, don't feel distressed at this time, you can't do less, understand? ”

Jiang nodded, "I know, everything has been sent over, tomorrow is estimated to be able to react, when the time comes, the lord will help, let this matter be logical, the palace has passed, the emperor has given the ranking, and then the lord will be thoughtful and send Tiankuo out of Beijing as soon as possible." ”

Song Yao nodded, "For the sake of today, it can only be like this, madam, the matter has come to this point, if something really happens, don't blame Madame for being a husband." ”

Jiang didn't say anything, and after a while, he said sullenly, "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people with hearts, as long as the master wants to protect him, no matter what, he can protect it." ”

After finishing speaking, she went back to the inner room, and Song Yao sat alone on the couch outside and thought for a long time before getting up and going in to rest.

Tiankuo has been very nervous in the past few days, always thinking about what kind of questions the Holy Lord will ask him today and how to answer him when he is seriously ill.

All the possibilities were thought about by him, and the more he thought about it, the more nervous he felt, no matter how he was, he couldn't guess the mind of the saint today, and he would only know when he got what he wanted to ask, and it would be useless to think about it in advance.

Gu Zelin said, "The old man of the Song family has been an official for many years, and he probably needs to know a little bit about the emperor's intentions, should we go to the Song Mansion to ask?" ”

Tiankuo shook his head, "Dad, we are enough to cause trouble to others, don't bother others about this matter, it's my own ability to answer anything, if I am a person who has no ability, relying on others to gain fame, the road will not go smoothly in the future, I have to come by myself step by step, I am not afraid." ”

Gu Zelin smiled, "Good son, Dad believes in you, don't think too much, the day after tomorrow is the palace exam, if you don't sleep well in the past two days, your complexion will be ugly at that time, but you won't be able to get a good score in the exam." ”

Tiankuo decided to have a good rest in the past two days, but at night, he suddenly felt itchy all over his body, and he was reading a book, but he had to put down the book, untie his clothes, and scratch his whole body, but he still couldn't relieve it.

He didn't care about it at first, but he didn't take a bath often in winter, and his body was a little dirty, so he was so uncomfortable.

As a result, he suddenly saw a red rash on his arm, and he felt that his face was hot, so he got anxious, and no matter how late it was, he hurriedly went to the house where Gu Zelin lived and knocked on the door outside.

Gu Zelin had already fallen asleep, and quickly got up when he heard the movement, "What's the matter?" ”

Tiankuo entered the house and hurriedly said, "Dad, take a look, do I have a rash on my body?" It's itchy everywhere, take a look. ”

He is very respectful to his elders on weekdays, and it is rare to have such a hurry to speak, and he is really panicked at this time.

Gu Zelin hurriedly lit the candle, took a closer look, and was also startled, Tiankuo's face, neck, there were red rashes everywhere, and he had already scratched two blood marks on his neck, which could be seen to be very itchy.

Gu Zelin's hands began to tremble, "This ...... What's going on? Did you get bitten by a bug? ”

Tiankuo shook his head, "I don't think any insects bite me, what can insects bite like this, this is winter again, how can there be so many poisonous insects?" Dad, what should I do now? If I am like this, how can I go up to the great hall and meet the Holy One? Is it possible to achieve it, because of this, you can't go to the temple examination? ”

Gu Zelin was also panicked for a while, even if he didn't want to cause trouble to the Song Mansion, he had to find someone now.

He hurriedly went to tell a few of the servants here, and one of them quickly went back to Songfu District to spread the news.

They are in the capital, no one knows anyone except the Jiang family, and when they encounter such a big thing, if they don't say it, they don't know how, if they don't have anything important, it's okay, but in another day Tiankuo will go to participate in the palace examination, how important is this to him, how can he grit his teeth and endure it?

After a while, the little guy who went to deliver the news to the Jiang family came back, followed by the Jiang family and Song Yunxin.

Gu Zelin was relieved to see them, but Song Yao got out of the car again.

Gu Zelin was taken aback, although he had never seen Song Yao, but he could ride in the same carriage with Jiang and Song Yunxin, who could there be besides him? He hastened to salute.

When he got inside, Jiang Shi looked at the red rash on Tiankuo's neck and face, and frowned, "What's going on, could it be that something went wrong with what I ate?" ”

Tiankuo shook his head, "I've been eating those things these days, it's no different, I'm afraid that the water and soil will not adapt, and it will be uncomfortable if I change the food, it shouldn't be that the diet is wrong." ”

Jiang's brows furrowed even tighter, "If it's not a mistake in eating, then what else can it be?" Is there any difference these days? ”

Tiankuo shook his head, "The little nephew really can't find any difference. ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, I have just asked someone to send the house doctor over, let the doctor take a look at it in a while, and there is still one day to participate in the palace examination, and now it is still too late to take medicine, and it will not be delayed." ”

Although she said so, Tiankuo was still worried in his heart, he had studied hard for so many years, just for this day, if because of these reasons, he failed this scientific expedition, then he couldn't figure it out anyway.

With so many people in the family looking forward to him going back, how should he explain to his family and how should he face his sister? He can't lose, he can't.
