"It's just a moment, let's go down and have a snowball fight!"
"Can you pinch so many things in one moment?"
"It was very hot when I was playing just now, and it was cold after sitting for a while, and it will be hot when we play for a while!"
She pulled him down, and the two of them threw snow at each other in the courtyard below for a while, and she slipped and fell a few times, but most of the time she smashed Song Ju'an with snowballs. The courtyard was full of laughter, and both of them hadn't been so happy in a long time.
At dinner, she felt that she had no appetite, was very sleepy, wanted to sleep, and felt dizzy in her head.
"Is the stove burning too hot today?" She put down her chopsticks and asked Song Ju'an.
Song Ju'an sat opposite her, first glanced at the stove, then looked at her, and found that her face was not quite right.
"The charcoal is the same as usual." He said, saying that he also put down his chopsticks, walked in front of her, reached out and touched her forehead, this touch is not tight, he felt that his hands were hot, and touched her neck again, it was still very hot.
"Are you freezing and getting hot?" Song Ju'an hurriedly bent down to take a closer look at her face, her face was red, her eyes were watery, and she didn't look as cheerful as before, and the whole person was stunned.
Du Ruo also reached out and touched it, and said: "It's cold outside, and I feel normal when I enter the house when it's too hot, maybe it's cold, so I shouldn't worry about it." β
Who knew that she fell ill that night, with a high fever at night, her body was very hot, and she coughed again, covered the quilt and felt cold, and vomited twice.
In addition, her poisoned body was not well cleaned before, so she began to be sick again.
Even on Chinese New Year's Eve, she spent it in bed, eating nothing tasteless, and watching nothing was interesting. The fever on his body was repeated and coughed, although it was still the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace, but it still did not improve.
Song Ju'an was so angry at her for the first time, and blamed Aqi Arry a few times, telling her that she was too crazy to stop her for playing outside for too long, and she didn't tell him. Du Ruo felt that if she hadn't pulled Song Ju'an to play in the snow at that time, he would have also participated, and he would definitely be more angry.
By the time she was almost better, it was already early February, and she and Song Ju'an had moved into the emperor's mansion.
The snow and ice melted, the bare branches had to bud, and the wind blowing in the sky was not cold, but gradually warmed up. Life begins a new round of flourishing and decaying.
The situation in the court gradually stabilized, and the old parties of the Second Prince's Yang League were almost eliminated.
Du Ruo was anxious before, anxious, it was almost a habit, she was about to write a letter to send home, but the letter Qin Rui wrote to her arrived first.
Qin Rui's letter said that the Meng family's embroidery village had already been opened, and it was in Linxian County, and Meng Yuanzhou opened it in her name. She asked Du Ruo when she would go back to help her cook, wouldn't she come back?
If she goes back, ask Du Ruo to write to her in advance to inform her that she can prepare to receive the wind and wash the dust and feast guests.
"I think about it, you can be an official here, I have to go back to Fengling." After reading the letter, Du Ruo said to Song Ju'an.
"The emperor said that the trial in March this year will be handed over to me, and when this matter is over, we will go back." Song Ju'an said.
"When the test is over, do you still want to say which lady in the palace has a birthday or what major events in the court and China need you to make an idea?"
"Aren't you just right? It's only early spring, and it's cold on the way, and it's not too late to go after two months of warmth. β
"Won't I wrap it tightly?"
"That's what you told me before you got sick, but what happened? It's not three or five days from here to Fengling, and it's better for you to walk with me for more than ten days. β
"It's been delayed until now, don't prevaricate me with these words, the emperor will definitely do everything possible to keep you."
"Don't you just want to be an official's wife? This is something that many women can't envy, especially being my wife. A smile tugged at his lips.
"Whoever likes to do it, I don't think it's interesting to do it!"
ββ¦β¦β
In March, the court began to prepare for the examination, and although Song Ju'an was in charge of this matter, he left it to the people below to do it, so he was not very busy.
Du Ruodanfan was followed by someone when he went out, either two guards or Lou Xi, which was arranged by Song Ju'an. She planned to wait until after the test at most, and if he didn't leave, she would leave him alone, anyway, she had a way to get out of here.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of me.
The students who referred to it came to Kyoto from all over the world, and the restaurant and inn streets were bustling with cars, cars, and people as far as the eye could see. Even the vendors selling things on the side of the street are much more excited than usual, and a wide long street is full of shouting and shouting, which is full of tricks and eye-catching. There are also more books selling on both sides of the street, and they are all books that students usually read.
There are also people who secretly sell exam questions and answers, saying that they used some means to get them from, and what distant relatives are officials in the court, and it is very difficult to get them, and before they can be sold for a while, they are arrested and taken away by Kyoto Catchers disguised as students.
Du Ruo knew that Su Mingyang had also caught up with this year's entrance examination and must have come to Kyoto, so he told Lou Xi to inquire more, and if he saw him, he would invite him to live at home and take more care of him.
She walked down the street a few times and didn't see him.
"I saw him yesterday." Song Ju'an said to her after returning home.
Du Ruo was surprised, "Then why don't you let him come to the house?" β
"He doesn't know my identity yet, the exam is coming, I'm afraid it will affect his revision, so let him live in the inn, you better don't bother him."
"Then I'll go see him at the inn and send him something." Du Ruo got up and said.
"If you go to see him and are known by those who have a heart, you will definitely make a fuss about it. If he didn't do well in the exam, it didn't matter, but if he did well, wouldn't he say that he got the convenience of getting the exam questions from my husband? β
"I'll go secretly."
"No way!"
Du Ruo didn't care about him, combed his hair, tidied up his dress, and took people to prepare to go out.
"I said no." Song Ju'an said.
"You're so strange, his relationship with us is extraordinary, I haven't seen him for a long time, Ming Yang came to Kyoto alone, we naturally have to take care of him, besides, what's wrong with being known that he is your protΓ©gΓ©? When others know about it, they will only be more respectful to him and not be embarrassed by him. Du Ruo said.
"I've secretly instructed people to take more care of Mingyang, so you don't have to worry." He got up and walked over to her and grabbed her.
"I'll just go and see him, say a few words to him, and let him come to live in the house for a few days after the exam."
"That's how you want to see him?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting!"
"You obviously have something in mind, you tell me clearly!"
He stopped paying attention to her, and went out to tell the guards outside: "Don't let Madame go out for the next two days!" β
"Song Ju'an!" Du Ruoqi shouted his name.
She couldn't get out after all, and at this point, she felt that staying in Kyoto was not as good as Fengling. The guards in the house all listened to Song Ju'an, and then listened to her. lest she climb the wall and go out, Song Ju'an sternly instructed Ah Qi and Ah Rui to take good care of her, otherwise they would never be spared.
After lunch, she took a pen and wrote and drew in her room, looking for inspiration, and her heart was quite bored.
Song Ju'an didn't go to the study to stay, but sat on the other side and flipped through the books.
After a while, she found Song Ju'an sitting there eating pears, looking very relaxed.
She walked quickly up to him, snatched the pear from his hand, and said angrily, "Don't eat it!" Don't eat it now, and don't eat it in the future! β
When she thought of pear juice, she was so angry that even the word pear disappeared from her dictionary.
Song Ju'an glanced at her strangely and said, "There are so many people outside in the past two days, it's really unreasonable for you to go out to join in the fun." β
"Humph!" She threw the pear in her hand onto the table, "Don't let me see you eat pears again anyway!" β
Seeing her walk away, Song Ju'an suddenly remembered something, and said in her heart, it turned out that she still remembered that incident in her heart.
After the meeting, the palace test, and then the emperor list will be posted to announce it to the world.
Every three years, Kyoto is a hundred times more lively than the New Year.
Thousands of students, no matter how good or bad they are, are waiting for this day with their heads up.
On the day of the list, the sky was clear, the wind was smooth, and the vicinity of the emperor list was crowded with three layers inside and three layers outside, the water was impassable, the noise was incomparable, and there were even people fighting.
The first place in the gold list, the first champion, Su Mingyang. Fengling County Donggou Village people.
When he learned the news in the mansion, Du Ruo was about to go crazy with joy, and he walked around the yard excitedly, talking non-stop.
She knew that Ming Yang was diligent and studious, strict with herself, and she would definitely have a good future. Leap over the Dragon! The future is bright!
After the list was released, the emperor gave the top three on the gold list to wear flowers and ride around the streets.
Expecting that the street would be crowded and crooked, Du Ruo asked someone to book a room in a restaurant along the street early and prepared to stand on it and watch.
Song Ju'an was not in the mansion early in the morning, Du Ruo estimated that he should be very busy today, maybe he went to the palace, after all, when the champion list finished exploring the streets, there was still a palace banquet waiting, he must be there.
She has been on fire in her heart these days, and she ignores Song Ju'an, and both of them are a little wrong.
"Don't stop me, your Lord Song said, I can go out after the test! Let me out! Du Ruo said to the guard who stopped her at the door.
Lou Xi walked up with his sword in his arms, "Madam, there are more people outside today!" β
"I'm just going out to join in the fun, no one can do anything!" She raised her feet with a cold face and walked out, and the two guards looked at her hesitantly, wanting to stop but not daring to stop.
Lou Xi thought about it and followed.
Finally squeezed through the crowd and went to the second floor of the restaurant, Du Ruo took a long breath, asked for something to eat and drink, rested for a while, and asked Lou Xi, who was standing aside, "Tell me, can your master get out?" Will the DPRK let him go? β
