The man in purple thanked Jiang Youzhi and quickly sprinkled the surroundings of his room with realgar.

After I don't know how long, I heard the sound of firecrackers not far away.

Everyone knew that this was the entrance of the examiner and was ready to start the roll call.

The people around also went back to the room.

The nine-day exam has finally begun.

In the past few days, Mrs. Wu has been talking about Jiang Youzhi at home every day, and when she was having dinner in the evening, she said again: "Alas, this exam is really sinful. ”

"I heard that the room is very small, and I can't even stretch my legs when I sleep at night, and I can't eat anything good, but I'm miserable."

Jiang Zhongxing gave her a chopstick dish, "You don't have to worry about it, your belly is so big, you have to give birth when you say that you are going to be born, you take care of yourself first." ”

Gu Yunjiao silently bowed her head to eat, and when her father-in-law and mother-in-law showed affection, she usually pretended to be invisible.

Gu Yunjiao counted the days with her fingers every day, and on the ninth day, Gu Yunjiao took a carriage to the outside of the Gongyuan early in the morning.

The Gongyuan has not yet opened, and there are already some small scholars waiting at the door.

Du Ruo squeezed in and stood by the door.

At the end of the hour, the door of the Tribute Temple finally opened.

An unkempt and blank-eyed man walked out with an exam basket.

Then a number of people came out one after another, all of them in crumpled clothes and looking haggard.

Gu Yunjiao took a palace fan and half-covered her face, opened the curtain and looked out.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and Jiang Youzhi walked out wearing a moon-white robe that barely found a single fold.

He looked much haggard, but his hair was neatly combed, his back was straight, and he stood out from the crowd of grizzled talents.

Du Ruofei ran forward to take the test basket in his hand and led him to the carriage.

As soon as he got in the car, Jiang Youzhi hugged Gu Yunjiao tightly.

Gu Yunjiao's nose moved, "uh", in her imagination, Jiang Youzhi, who hadn't taken a bath for nine days, should have been rancid.

But right now, he didn't have the slightest smell on his body, she held his head and sniffed it on his head, it was quite fragrant, "You washed your hair in the exam room?" ”

Jiang Youzhi leaned his head on Gu Yunjiao's chest and rubbed it, "Well, I washed it last night, spent some silver to get hot water, took a bath, and changed into clean clothes." ”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you will dislike me."

Gu Yunjiao laughed a few times, "Are you tired, do you go to bed or eat first when you go back?" ”

Jiang Youzhi hugged Gu Yunjiao's waist and said coquettishly: "Take a bath and sleep, but you have to accompany me." ”

Gu Yunjiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "Okay." ”

The two carried them all the way back to the Guogong Mansion.

When he returned to his hometown, Jiang Youzhi went to see Mrs. Wu first, and when he returned to his yard, the bath water had already been prepared.

Gu Yunjiao asked people to put some essential oils in it, and Jiang Youzhi came out of the bath, and the whole person seemed to come to life.

He picked up Gu Yunjiao, who was sitting at the table, and walked towards the big bed with the cyan gauze tent.

In the past nine days, he didn't feel very bitter.

Once upon a time when I was in the countryside, I didn't suffer anything.

It's just that he wants Jiaojiao to think so much, and now he finally holds her in his arms, but he still feels that it is not enough, he wants more.

The door was closed by the sensible color screen, and she moved a chair to sit under the porch, slowly doing needlework.

······

After the exam, Jiang Youzhi doesn't have to go to Guozijian.

Sometimes she helps Gu Yunjiao run a workshop, and sometimes she reads at home.

The list will be released on September 8.

On this morning, before dawn, Steward Lin sent a few literate servants to guard the place where the list was placed.
