And people are even older, and they have to call others five aunts! That's what makes a smart woman.

Of course she understands Si Xinhua's careful thinking, and it is understandable that the girl is pregnant, but she covets her man and wants to belittle herself, and she is not a soft persimmon, whoever wants to pinch it.

Si Xinhua was even more angry in her heart, she was such an ordinary woman, she was not good-looking, virtuous and incompetent, why did she get the favor of such a beautiful person as the prince, this is so unfair!

Xiao Tao saw Si Xinhua holding his hand, his eyes were on fire, and he continued to smile and said, "People often say that people are not as good as their lives, I guess I have accumulated great virtue in my last life, our prince looks like a cold-faced person, in fact, he can be considerate, I am pregnant and physically inconvenient, and he personally takes care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation!" ”

Mrs. Si Lian also knew that her daughter was talking too much, which of these high-ranking people was willing to let people tear off their faces and say, "Is it?" Oops! That's really unseemly! What a blessing for the mother! ”

Xiao Tao also smiled when he heard it, "That's not it, but what!" Men, especially those who are so shrewd and capable as the prince of our family, have the most poisonous vision, and he knows best what woman is most suitable for him! Since he has taken a fancy to me, it means that I am the best fit for him! He doesn't like the women raised according to the standards in the Gaomen compound, he likes the wildflowers that grow in the mountains and villages like me, and I also have my advantages, such as the life of my prince I saved! And no one but me can do it! ”

Si Xinhua listened to Xiao Tao showing off himself, and he couldn't control his jealousy at all, "Niangniang said this, do you mean that you used the prince's life to blackmail him to be with you?" ”

Xiao Tao raised her eyebrows, this girl was furious, and her jealousy really made people lose their minds!

She was not annoyed, she stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of meat from the fish's belly, where there were the least spines, and put it in her mouth, "Hmm! It tastes good! Miss Xinhua said that she underestimated my prince too much, he can sweep away all the rebels in one fell swoop and maintain the stability of the Dayi Dynasty, if he doesn't want to, who can threaten him? I'm willing to do things for him! He married me willingly!

I think Miss Xinhua is talented, better than Xi Shi, and noble, she is a pampered flower in the greenhouse, and she will definitely marry a wishful husband in the future! What about me! I like to stand beside my prince and join hands with him! Others won't understand! ”

After saying a smug smile, she continued to bow her head and eat the fish, what she said was clear enough!

Of course, Si Xinhua understood that she said that Prince Yong didn't like her like this, and she didn't like herself, but she was unwilling!

But in the end, the etiquette and upbringing on weekdays came back a little, and I knew that I had just talked too much, so I didn't say anything more, but I couldn't swallow it, and it tasted like chewing wax.

Xiao Tao saw that she lowered her head and stopped talking, and she didn't pursue anything more, just a girl who was carried away.

As long as she doesn't get entangled again, she treats it as if it never happened!

After eating, Xiao Tao and Situ Yu said goodbye to the Si family and returned to the inn together.

The candlelight in the carriage flickered, Situ Yu drank some wine, and his face was not red, but a little white.

Xiao Tao didn't like to smell the wine, and sat on the other side and looked at him with a smile.

"I helped you knock down a little peach blossom today, you won't blame me, right?"

Situ Yu's eyes were dark, he looked at Xiao Tao sideways, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Peach blossoms? What peach blossoms? I don't care! Hit as much as you want,"

After speaking, his eyes were dark, his voice was slow and low, and he said, "If there are three thousand water, I will only take one scoop to drink!" ”

Xiao Tao couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked at him with bright eyes, "You don't care how good the other party is, don't you?" ”

"What do they have to do with me? All I care about is how good you are to me! ”

Xiao Tao suddenly realized that men are born with sweet words, and they don't need to learn! Even a person with a weak temperament like Situ Yu can do it at his fingertips! I said that I was excited, sweet and happy!

Situ Yu actually didn't drink much, but looking at Xiao Tao's smiling face, he unconsciously wanted to get closer.

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk!

leaned over and didn't lean into Xiao Tao's face, but bent down and hugged Xiao Tao's outstretched legs and feet, and rubbed his head with his head.

"It's good to have you here!"

Xiao Tao felt his strong attachment, his heart throbbed, with a little distress, he must have been lonely and lonely before, so he would have such a deep attachment!

Reaching out and touching his head, "Hmm! My kids and I will always be there! Situ Yu also reached out to hold her hand, and clasped his fingers.

……

The next day was the day of the exam, Xiao Tao got up early in the morning and went with Situ Yu to watch the eldest brother and them enter the examination room.

Because he was afraid that they would see it, Xiao Tao hid in the carriage.

There were guards standing at the entrance of the examination room, and the candidates rushed in with their own salutes.

Xiao Tao lifted the curtain and looked out, and casually asked Situ Yu, "Why is it called Qiuyu, are they taking the exam for three days and three nights?" ”

Situ Yu Youyou explained, "Because the examination is held in the autumn, it is also called "Autumn Pavilion", with three sessions per session, each session for three days and nights.

Since there are two changes in the middle, it is actually nine days and seven nights. ”

"For so long? I always thought it was three days, nine days and nine nights, it was terrible! What do you have to test? ”

"The first test is to test Wencai, and the materials are selected from the Four Books and Five Classics to ask questions, depending on the candidate's literary style!

The second test is the application of officialdom, which is divided into two types: official documents exchanged from top to bottom and judicial judgments written based on the provided cases.

The third test question involves specific issues of the national economy and people's livelihood, and requires candidates to give countermeasures and methods. ”

Xiao Tao pouted and nodded, "Oh! I see, it's quite strict, and the pressure is really high! So what do they do when they eat and drink? Is there someone in charge? Is it true that you can't go anywhere in a hut, eating, drinking, and Lazar in it? ”

Situ Yu smiled, seeing that she was quite interested in these, so she explained in a slow tone, "You want to know that I will tell you slowly, the scientific examination is a major event of the imperial court, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the examination, the number room will be locked after the examination, no matter what happens during the period, even if there is a fire, the candidates who are burned to death cannot be unlocked." ”

Xiao Tao looked at him dumbfounded: "As for it?" It's so inhumane! Tell me anything else! ”

"The candidates' houses are all lined up in the south, with nearly 100 long rooms and 50 or 60 short rooms, each of which is equipped with lamps and water tanks, which can be used by candidates to walk at night and drink water during the day.

The food during the exam is prepared by the candidates themselves, because the township test takes a long time, and the house is stuffy, the food will spoil quickly, so the candidates only bring dry food to satisfy their hunger! ”
