Chapter 639: Female Companions in the Imperial Examination Don't Be Cannon Fodder (18)
There is still more than half a month before the township test, and Ning Xi thinks that they can't live in the inn all the time, especially since He Shiyan has been laying on the floor for so long.
Ning Xi ordered the silver taels he brought over, and decided to rent a small courtyard in the provincial capital, and it would be good if there were two rooms for them to live in.
When she was about to go to Yaxing to look for a house, she didn't expect to meet a noble lady surnamed Shen, who had bought essential oils in the dark incense shop in Yong'an City when she went back to her parents' home to save her relatives, and she was particularly impressed by the little proprietress.
When Mrs. Shen learned that Ning Xi wanted to rent a house, without saying a word, she found a house around the township examination room.
It's really a charcoal in the snow, Ning Xi is very grateful to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "If Miss Ning really wants to thank me, remember to send me a bottle next time there is a new product." ”
Ning Xi nodded in response, this is not a difficult task.
Before the exam, Ning Xi thought that He Shiyan would have to eat and live in a small room for three consecutive days, so he was busy in the kitchen a day in advance, preparing food for him to bring in.
Early in the morning of August 8, Ning Xi came out of the kitchen with the examination basket.
"Brother He, the pen and ink and food are ready, you take it."
He Shiyan took the test basket, looked at her and said, "After I enter the field, you go back and have a good rest, and pay attention to safety alone." ”
"Don't worry." Ning Xi took out a peace charm from his bosom and handed it to him, "I hope you are doing well." ”
He Shiyan held the peace charm that left her body temperature tightly in his hand, and looked at her eyes becoming deeper and deeper, "I'll return this talisman to you when I come back." ”
……
The township test is the biggest event in the provincial capital, and during this time, it seems that the entire provincial capital has become quiet.
The entrance to the township test was particularly strict, and the person with the cheat sheet was taken away on the spot, and even the food in the examination basket was carefully checked one by one, and no one was allowed to pass the test in confusion.
Walking into the dragon gate, He Shiyan stepped forward with an examination basket and waited for the search.
The inspector took the roster and began to check his name, place of origin, age, and appearance, and had to search his whole body, not to mention the examination basket.
The examination basket was opened, and the people around him immediately saw that the food in his examination basket was completely different from that of other candidates.
It's not just dry food like steamed buns.
A strong aroma came to the nose, and the inspector broke the cake, which was unusually fluffy and had sauce and meat, and even the inspectors wanted to taste it.
There are several other kinds of food, but I don't know how to make them, and they don't get hard even when it's cold.
The inspector finished checking and gestured to him, "You can go in." ”
He Shiyan went in at this time, took the number plate and sat in his room to wait for the roll.
At this time, the first session of the township test began, and in the Gongyuan Courtyard, in the small number room, countless students were working hard to write.
Although there are many questions in the first session of the township exam, they are nothing to He Shiyan at all, but his arms are a little sore after writing, and he is a little sleepy.
The space in room number is small, and it is really uncomfortable to wait for a long time, and for some reason I think of the person who is preparing food for him.
I don't know if she's out there.
When it was time to eat, he took out the baked cakes prepared by Ning Xi from the examination basket, in addition, there were other fluffy hair cakes, and some salty, crispy and refreshing bean pickles were eaten with the hair cakes.
It is soft in the mouth and has a sweet aroma.
There was a stove in the room to heat up, and as he heated the tenderloin pancakes, the soldiers on patrol passed by his room and slowed down.
There were even some soldiers who went around in a circle and followed the scent.
……
Time passed slowly, Ning Xi didn't wait outside the examination room, these days with Mrs. Shen went to a lot of places to play, and got to know several rich ladies.
They were all looking forward to the new products of Dark Fragrance, and from their mouths, Ning Xi learned that Dark Fragrance was even famous in the capital.
However, she was not in a hurry to get into business.
On the last day of the township test, He Shiyan heard the sound of the gong and went up to hand in the papers.
Walking out of the gate of the Gongyuan and seeing the sunlight outside, the dust of this township test was settled.
Ning Xi stood under a big tree outside the examination room and waited, next to a carriage she had hired, although it was only half a pillar of incense to walk back to the house from here.
But seeing many people being carried out, she felt that she had made the right decision.
The room is so narrow, and you have to stay for so long, and people with weak bodies can't even take half their lives into it.
After a while, she saw He Shiyan, whose face was a little red, walking out with the examination basket.
She stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" But not feeling well? ”
When He Shiyan saw her again, he felt like a world away, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, "It's not in the way, but I'm a little tired." ”
"Well, let's go home, then." Ning Xi led him to the carriage.
As soon as she returned to the house, Ning Xi gave some money to ask the coachman to help hire a doctor to come back, and He Shiyan was about to take a bath when she entered the door, but fortunately she had prepared hot water in advance.
I wanted to wait for him to come out to eat some food before resting, but when she just brought the food out, the person had already entered the house and lay down.
Ning Xi sat on the edge of his bed and stretched out a hand to put it on his forehead, he was indeed feverish.
After the township test, it is not easy to invite a doctor.
Before the doctor arrived, Ning Xi wet the handkerchief to cool him down physically.
At this moment, although He Shiyan was burning, he was still conscious, he opened his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him, "Xiaoxi." ”
Ning Xi answered him, "The doctor will be here soon." ”
He Shiyan looked at her, "Why don't you ask me how I did in the exam?" ”
Ning Xi laughed, "Is this important?" ”
"Everyone in the family of the other candidates asked." He Shiyan murmured.
Ning Xi never thought that the person with a fever was much cuter than usual.
"Well, then I'll ask."
"You ask."
"Brother He, how did you do in the township exam?"
He Shiyan's eyes seemed to light up, "I answered decently in every game, I didn't find any omissions, and the possibility of losing the election is very small." ”
Ning Xi tucked the quilt for him, "Then you are amazing." ”
At this time, the doctor came and prescribed a few doses of medicine for him.
Before leaving, the doctor stroked his beard, looked at the young man on the sickbed and the girl sitting on the edge of the bed, coughed lightly, and said, "Childe is a little weaker now, during this time, your sexual affairs can be controlled."
Before Ning Xi could react, the man's face on the bed turned red.
After the doctor left, Ning Xi looked at He Shiyan, he quickly closed his eyes and coughed, "I'm sorry. I'm going to exercise more in the future, no. I mean."
Ning Xi hurriedly said: "I understand, Brother He, you have a good rest, I'll go and decoct the medicine for you." ”
With that, she fled.
When the door closed, He Shiyan opened his eyes and felt that his ears were very hot.
While he was thinking wildly, he fell asleep at some point.
