Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The teahouse opened smoothly, and a few days later the trial was held.

Xu Yiwan packed up a bunch of things and wanted to send Dong Jiabao to the Tribute Courtyard in person.

Outside the door, Dong Jiabao frowned and persuaded: "Mom, Jia Lin and A Fu, you really don't have to send me off. I'm such an adult, so just go by yourself. You can wait at home safely."

"How can that be done?" Xu Yiwan refused, "It has nothing to do with your age. You will try such a big thing. I am a mother, and I must watch you enter the Gongyuan."

"Yes, brother, we have to go even if you don't let us go. Huaiyun is also participating in the examination, and we have to see him off." Dong Jialin said from the side.

"Okay, don't delay, let's go." Xu Yiwan pulled Dong Jiafu towards the carriage.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Gongyuan gate, filled with candidates and people coming to see them off.

Dong Jialin got off the carriage first, looked around and said, "Huai Yun should be here, I'll go look for him."

With that said, he rushed into the crowd.

This was the first time Dong Jiafu saw such a scene. It was just like taking the college entrance examination in modern times. The difference was that women were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Affected by the atmosphere at this time, Xu Yiwan also became nervous and talked too much when she was nervous.

"Gabor, it's cold inside. Remember to wear the kneepads I made for you. Don't freeze your body. Also, remember what your father told you last night..."

"Don't worry, mother, I have written it all down." Dong Jiabao said warmly, "I have been preparing for so long, and finally when the opportunity comes, I will do my best to live up to your and father's expectations of me."

"You don't have to think about us, and don't put too much burden on yourself. Even if you don't end up in high school, it doesn't matter. We'll wait for the next time."

Dong Jiabao endured hundreds of hot and cold days and nights for this trial, and Xu Yiwan was worried that if the result was not satisfactory, he might not be able to accept it.

"No, mother, I'm fully prepared and I won't fail the exam." Dong Jiabao was very confident.

Seeing this, Xu Yiwan was both proud and worried. If she wanted to say something else, she heard Dong Jialin's voice.

"Mom, Huaiyun is here -" Dong Jialin ran over from a distance with Feng Jiyuan.

Feng Jiyuan stopped and greeted with a smile, "Aunt, eldest brother, Afu..."

Xu Yiwan took the baggage from Chun Cao and handed it to Feng Jiyuan, "Your parents are far away in Yingzhou and cannot come to send you to the Tribute Courtyard. I must be thinking of you at this time. I have prepared the same thing for you and Jiabao. You bring it in, be sure to use it, take care of yourself, and don’t be too nervous.”

Feng Jiyuan took the bulging baggage and felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Mom, just send it here. Huaiyun and I should go in." Dong Jiabao looked back at the candidates waiting in line for inspection and said.

"Okay, we will pick you up after the trial is over."

Dong Jialin encouraged the two of them, "Brother, Huaiyun, you can definitely do it. I'll be waiting for your good news outside."

"Brother, Huaiyun, I wish you success and all your hard work will be rewarded," Dong Jiafu said immediately.

Dong Jiabao nodded, "You and your mother should go home quickly."

"Aunt, Jialin, Afu, let's go." Feng Jiyuan waved to the three of them, turned around and headed towards Gongyuan.

Xu Yiwan stood in front of the carriage and watched the two people off from a distance. It was not until she saw them successfully entering the Gongyuan that she followed Dong Jialin and Dong Jiafu back.

Dong Jialin sent them back to his house without entering, "Mom, I'll go to the store to have a look."

Knowing that he now had to take care of two stores and was busy with business, Xu Yiwan responded: "Go and go home early in the evening."

"Okay." Dong Jialin replied simply, turned around and got on the carriage again.

On the way, he passed the bookstore first, so he went there first.

The teahouse has only been open for a few days. In addition to the delicious tea, many people go there because of the stories Mr. Listening and Writing tells every day.

The wonderful story attracted many people. As expected, some people couldn't wait and came to the bookstore to buy the storybook. In the past two days, the number of two storybooks sold has increased significantly.

Dong Jialin sat in front of the counter and looked through the account books. After a while, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Is there anything else at the back of this storybook?"

The familiar voice made Dong Jialin immediately raise his head and saw that the girl he had met twice was holding a storybook and asking the clerk in the store. The maid named Qing He was still accompanied by him.

Dong Jialin closed the account book and walked over from the counter. He saw clearly that the storybook in her hand was the one he gave her.

"Have you finished reading this storybook?" Dong Jialin was a little surprised.

The girl's eyes turned to him and she said softly: "Yes, the storybook that the young master gave me is very interesting. I never knew that the storybook could be so interesting, but I didn't seem to finish the story, so I came here to ask."

"Yes, wait a minute, girl, I'll get it for you."

Dong Jialin went to the bookshelf and took a book over, "This is the second part, the third one hasn't been released yet."

"It's not out yet..." The girl held the second storybook in her hand, looking regretful.

"The third part will be completed soon. I will leave it for the girl when the time comes. If the girl believes me, you can tell me where you live, and I will send it to you as soon as the storybook comes out." Dong Jialin couldn't bear the girl's sadness and suggested.

The girl didn't expect him to say such a thing, and was slightly startled. His eyes were bright and clear, with sincerity that made people unconditionally trust her.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's inconvenient for him to come to your door." The girl felt a little sorry when she said these words, and then said, "But I still thank you for your thoughtfulness. After I finish reading this book, I will read it again." Came here."

"It's okay, I was rude," Dong Jialin grinned, leaving a row of white teeth, and his smile was as bright as the sun, "I will still leave the script for the girl, you can come and get it at any time."

The girl also raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I'll have a hard time with you."

The girl's smile was like an orchid blooming. Dong Jialin shook his head and said, "No...you're welcome, it's just a little effort."

The girl took out the money from her body and said, "This is the money for the script..."

Before she could finish speaking, Dong Jialin waved his hands, "The girl gave me more money last time, and the two books were agreed to be given to her by me, and I have to return the money to her."

"No, because, sir, I am very happy to be able to read such a beautiful novel. How can I take my money back again?"

One of them insisted on giving, the other refused to accept.

Dong Jialin's mind changed and he came up with a way to have the best of both worlds, "I opened a new teahouse and asked the storyteller to tell me this storybook. I'm about to go there later, so why don't I accept the money and invite the girl to come over for tea and listening to a book? ?”

The girl did not agree immediately after hearing this, and was a little hesitant.

Dong Jialin saw it and said, "It doesn't matter if the girl doesn't want to go. I just think she likes this story and will definitely like what Mr. Shu heard about it."

Indeed, as he said, the girl was very interested. After a while, she nodded and said, "Then please ask the young master to lead the way."

Dong Jialin's eyes were filled with joy when he heard this, "The teahouse is not far from here, please come here, girl."
