After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 46 Instructions before departure

The little Cai family finally stabilized Zhang Guangzong by relying on the big cake of betraying their adopted daughter. They did not have to worry about catching the little Cai family all day long. The couple was full of calculations. Now they are just waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of Zhang Yunniang and his wife. Without paying attention, the child was abducted and ran away.

With the expectation of getting at least ten taels of silver in the future, the two of them were a bit overwhelmed when it came to spending money.

Zhang Guangzong always eats meat and vegetables. Little Cai apparently eats bran-thick vegetables, but in fact he secretly cooks a small stove for himself every time.

As a result, the money was spent faster and faster. By the time of the day of the hospital examination, little Cai had only a few copper coins in hand.

Zhang Guangzong was carrying a basket full of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It was as if he didn't hear his wife's cry for money. He was even blaming her: "You are a prodigal daughter-in-law who doesn't know how to run a family. You are going to take the exam and I can't even get a bowl of champion soup." No need to drink!”

Zhuangyuan Decoction is a medicinal soup made from jujube kernels, calamus, asparagus and other medicinal materials in proportion. It was originally a prescription for refreshing the mind. Later, it was named Zhuangyuan Decoction because a certain number one scholar often took it. head.

Drinking this bowl of soup before the hospital exam actually won't change anything, it's just a matter of getting good luck.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangzong was filled with anger and kicked Xiao Cai again, accusing him: "Just wait, if I fail the exam this time, it's because you didn't cook the No. 1 Scholar Soup!"

When Zhang Guangzong walked out of the door angrily, he smelled the strong smell of Zhuangyuan Decoction in the whole yard. He was so angry that his eyes widened and he looked fiercely at the little Cai behind him.

"If I don't drink the champion soup before the second exam, I will skin you." Zhang Guangzong threatened fiercely.

The college examination is divided into two parts, the first is the main examination, and the second is the re-examination. Only those who pass the main examination can participate in the re-examination, and those admitted in the final re-examination can be called students, which are also commonly known as scholars.

Little Cai watched her husband walk out of the courtyard at this time. For some reason, a dark expectation arose in her heart. She hoped that her husband would fail the first exam, so that he would not chase her for the No. 1 Scholar Soup.

Zhang Yunniang put the Zhuangyuan Soup in Gu Mingda's hand and said, "Ms. sir, drink it quickly. Once it cools down, be careful to make your stomach ache."

It was rare that before her husband took the hospital exam this time, he was completely beard and tail, and his hands and feet were not broken, and he was not infected with wind and cold. However, Zhang Yunniang was still worried, for fear that something would happen to him on the road again, and she grabbed him and warned him again and again.

"When you go out for a while, if you are with others, you should walk in the middle to avoid something falling on the roadside and hitting you."

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhang Yunniang added: "You have to pay attention to see if there are any stones on the ground. Don't trip."

Gu Mingda took a sip of the soup, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "I will definitely pay attention."

"People around you should also be careful. If you are pushed by someone, be careful about my brother. He is not a good person. He might do such a thing!" When Zhang Yuniang mentioned Zhang Guangzong, her younger brother, she was a little nervous. Not polite at all.

Gu Mingda nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."

Zhang Yunniang talked for a long time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed and asked: "Am I too verbose? Do you find it annoying?"

Gu Mingda gently moved a strand of hair from her forehead to the back of her ear and said, "You care about me so much that I can't even be happy. How can I find you annoying?"

Zhang Yuniang's cheeks turned red when she heard this, then she picked up his test basket, looked through it, and said, "I'll check it again for you to see if there's anything missing. You eat first, don't choke."

Normally she wouldn't be so verbose, but Gu Mingda's physique was always troubled when he took exams. Zhang Yunniang's heart was always worried until he finished the exam.

The first exam starts at Chenchu ​​(7 a.m.), but before entering the examination room, you have to go through the initial inspection and the bailout process, so many people get up and go out at Yinzheng (4 a.m.).

After Gu Mingda finished the sumptuous breakfast that his wife had prepared for him in advance, he said warmly: "Brother Zheng and I made an appointment to go to the examination room together. Don't send me away. You have worked so hard so early in the morning. You can catch up on your sleep later. Get some sleep, the kids won’t be hungry if they eat late.”

Zhang Yunniang nodded.

Gu Mingda warned again: "Don't be busy doing embroidery all the time, so as not to break your body. If this braised recipe works, you won't have to work too hard in the future."

Zhang Yuniang was stunned when she heard this and asked: "Don't you give the braised recipe to Gongzhong?" Gu Mingda shook his head and said: "You keep it, and it will be considered your private property."

While the two were talking, a little man emerged from the pile of quilts with a messy chicken coop on his head.

"Daddy is going out?" Niuniu asked crisply.

The couple spoke very softly, but unexpectedly they woke up the little girl.

Zhang Yunniang said quickly: "Niuniu, you can go back to sleep. It's still early and it's dark outside."

Niu Niu rubbed her eyes, slid off the bed, ran to Gu Mingda's side, stretched out her hand, and pretended to beg for a hug.

"Your father is going out, Niuniu, don't make trouble with him." Zhang Yuniang stopped him softly.

But Gu Mingda had already picked up the child and said with a smile: "It's okay. I won't worry about my time at this moment. Niuniu should listen to your mother at home and be obedient. Don't run around. Do you understand?"

Niu Niu nodded vigorously, stretched out her hand, patted Gu Mingda's head, and said softly: "Dad, you have to be good, take the exam well, and have a good journey~"

Gu Mingda responded with a smile, sent the little girl back to the bed, helped her take off her shoes, and covered her with the quilt before going out.

There were already several people waiting outside the door. They were all scholars living in this house.

Gu Mingda was very good at communication, and he became familiar with them with little effort.

The sun has not yet risen and the sky is still gray. A group of people walked toward the examination room together.

The government hung bright lanterns on both sides of the main road early to illuminate the way for students rushing to take exams.

Gu Mingda was walking among the crowded crowd. He had just passed the corner when the sound of objects falling from high altitude suddenly came from behind him.

Everyone turned around and saw half a tile falling from the place they had just walked through. Everyone looked frightened.

"Fortunately, we are walking fast. If we hit it, we would probably have a **** head and we wouldn't have to take the exam." Someone said with emotion.

Gu Mingda was the last to be afraid of everyone, because the place where the tiles fell happened to be where he had just walked.

According to his luck, if he didn't walk fast, he would be the one who got hit!

"Don't think about it, let's enter the examination room quickly." Someone suggested.

The group of people continued to walk to the examination room. Gu Mingda always maintained a pace that was neither fast nor slow. However, the scholar beside him seemed a little anxious. He passed Gu Mingda in three steps and then ran forward.

"Ouch!"

As soon as the scholar passed Gu Mingda, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground if the people around him hadn't reacted in time to support him.

Gu Mingda couldn't help but advise: "Don't be anxious, walk slowly, it's still early for us to leave for the exam."

The scholar's face was full of shock. After he stood firm, he stepped on the grass that had just tripped him. He couldn't help but cursed: "There is a stone buried in here. It almost tripped me!"

Gu Mingda also looked over, and sure enough he saw the raised stone hidden under the grass.

Gu Mingda thought to himself, if the scholar hadn't tried to steal his way, he would have been the one who tripped. He might not have been as lucky as the scholar to be caught in time!
