On the day of the palace examination, Mei Yihang, Tan Jingye and others got up at dawn. After having a sumptuous breakfast, the group set off.

Sitting in the carriage, Yan Kuan, the eldest son of the Yan family, said: "The food at the senior brother's house is not only exquisite but also delicious. I am a little reluctant to leave."

Unfortunately, I will go home after the palace examination.

Mei Yihang smiled and said, "Indeed, I have gained a lot of weight when I live in the Fu family during this period."

Not only are there delicious food, but also exquisite pastries and various kinds of midnight snacks. It is difficult to eat so well, not to be fat.

It may also be because of the good eating and the atmosphere, which made him perform very long in the exam.

Yan Kuan looked at Tan Jingye and said with envy: "Jingye, you are still blessed. You can go to the Fu family to have a free meal from time to time."

Tan Jingye smiled and said, "I am always in the college, so I will come to stay for a few days during festivals or during events, but my wife often comes to stay for a while."

Mei Yihang touched his chin habitually, and then remembered that the beautiful beard he had accumulated had been shaved a few days ago. Fu Jingen said that the emperor liked to use energetic young people, so Mei Yihang shaved his beard. Not to mention, his beard became five or six years younger as soon as he shaved.

Mei Yihang looked at Tan Jingye and asked, "Where did the chef of the Shigong Mansion hire him? His cooking skills are not inferior to the chef of Fuyun Restaurant."

Tan Jingye shook his head slightly: "Actually, my aunt is proficient in cooking. The cook is getting more and more refined under her guidance."

"Once I ate the pickled bamboo shoots she made, so fresh that I wanted to swallow my tongue. Unfortunately, she had very few opportunities to cook, so I've eaten it once."

Mei Yihang exclaimed: "Mr. I am so blessed."

They were not easy for them to talk about female relatives all the time, so Yan Kuan changed the topic: "I don't know what questions the emperor will ask for this palace examination."

Among the five people, Mei Yihang is the oldest and has the most calm mind: "No matter what the question is, we must stay calm and not be nervous."

People are most likely to make mistakes when they are nervous. It’s fine, but if they want to make a fool of themselves in front of the emperor, their career may be affected. After all, they have to go to this point, and they must not lose their links at this link.

At the same time, An An also went to the main courtyard to find Qingshu.

Looking at her anxious look, Qingshu smiled and said, "I'll invite Mr. Ouyang to come and teach you today, and you will listen with us later."

An An felt very uncomfortable when she heard this and said, "Sister, I'm not in the mood to listen to books now."

Feng Xiaoyu looked at her like this and asked in confusion: "Your husband has passed the Jinshi exam and can't beat people. Why are you nervous?"

An An said with a bitter face: "The name of Jingye is beyond one hundred, and I am worried that he will fall into the top three."

Feng Xiaoyu nodded to express his understanding, but said, "So that's the case, but it's not you who took the exam, and it's useless to worry about it. I'll listen to Mr. Ouyang's story later, and then have a good sleep after listening. After waking up, the result is also out."

When Guan Zhen started to fall, she was worried that he would fail the exam. When she knew that she had passed the exam, she was not worried at all. No matter how she left and right, she would never fall out of the second list, so she didn't worry at all during the exam.

Qingshu also said: "The person has been invited. You will be with us later and I will pass the time."

I didn't say much comforting words, because it was useless if I said it.

Mr. Ouyang's storytelling level is one of the best in Beijing. She can also come to the door to tell, but the price is relatively high, so only some high-ranking players will invite him.

An An was very irritated and didn't want to listen to books at all, but she didn't refuse Qingshu and Feng Xiaoyu's words.

Bajiao said outside: "Madam, Mr. Ouyang is here."

After coming in and saluting the three of them, Mr. Ouyang gave the book list to Qingshu and said respectfully: "Please ask the county lord, Mrs. Fu to order the book."

Qingshu read the book list and said with a smile: "The books on this are all good, I like them all, come and have some!"

Feng Xiaoyu looked carefully and then clicked "The Story of Peony". This Story of Peony tells the story of a rich girl named Mudan marrying a husband born in a poor family. She married her inside and outside, and her husband was only devoted to studying. Who would have thought that after her husband passed the imperial examination, she despised her identity as a business girl and wanted to marry another girl from an official family with her. Mudan was also tough and agreed to Heli, but asked her husband to give him all the dowry.

After getting the dowry, she divorced her husband and then returned to her hometown to open a fragrant powder shop. She was very talented in business. Not only did she open more and more shops, but she later married a husband with similar interests and gave birth to a pair of children, and lived her life happily. On the contrary, his official husband became a prisoner due to corruption and bribery. When he had an accident, the wife he married later ran away with him and Li concubines.

Mr. Ouyang has a high level of storytelling, and his ups and downs can arouse everyone's appetite. Even if Qingshu and Feng Xiaoyu had known the content of this story before, they would listen with relish.

If An An likes to listen to it, but now he often looks at pocket watches. Unfortunately, his pocket watches are walking very slowly this day, like a turtle crawling.

An An saw that Qingshu didn't notice her at all and felt a little uncomfortable, she stood up and said, "Sister, I'll go back first."

Qingshu nodded and continued to listen to the book.

Back at her own house, An An and Caidie said, "I kept my heart in my brother-in-law's palace examination, but now it's the turn of the scriptures, but my sister doesn't seem to be worried at all."

Caidie said, "Grandma, it's not that the eldest girl is not worried. It's just as County Lord Xiaohe said, it's useless to worry, it's better to relax."

An An shook his head and said, "That's true, but this is related to the future of the business. I can't feel at ease until the result comes out."

Mr. Ouyang usually says that he takes two quarters of an hour to rest for half an hour.

Taking advantage of her rest, Feng Xiaoyu asked, "Qingshu, I think An An's face was not right just now."

Qingshu nodded and said, "She was unhappy and felt that I shouldn't have invited Mr. Ouyang."

Feng Xiaoyu was silent and said, "After all, today is the palace examination and it is related to your brother-in-law's future. It is normal for her to feel uncomfortable when you do this."

"If it were you, would you be uncomfortable?"

Feng Xiaoyu said without thinking: "No! You asked Mr. Ouyang to teach me the book to relax."

I may not be able to listen to Mr. Ouyang's books, but I will never be unhappy.

Qingshu did not answer this, but said, "I asked Mr. Storyteller to come to her home and she felt uncomfortable, but she had no objection to me when I told her to ask you to come and take care of me for delivery and confinement."

Feng Xiaoyu was stunned, then smiled and said, "She didn't ask to take care of you during the confinement period, are you angry? Qingshu, this is not like your style!"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Why are you angry about this? I just found that in her heart I think I should follow her everything, but she never cares about my mood and thoughts. If this continues, it will not be good for her."

Realizing this, Qingshu was unwilling to follow her anymore.

Feng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are so tactful that she won't understand. I think you should talk to her openly and honestly."
