At noon, Xie Yuan, who was empty in his stomach, put down his pen. He sealed the paper with oil paper and began to burn charcoal and cook in a small cauldron.

The charcoal fire was very strong and there was not a trace of smoke. It must have been saved by my sister during the winter.

The temperature increased from bottom to top, and the water gradually boiled, creating ripples. Xie Yuan took out the dry noodles from the baking basket and put them in. After a while, he put in some dried meat. He didn't know if Mingyue would eat now.

Xie Yuan thought wildly for a while, then when he saw that the noodles were cooked, he threw the dried vegetables in, stirred them casually, pinched the small tripod out with a cloth, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The aroma gradually spread from Xie Yuan's dormitory. The candidates who were answering questions smelled the aroma and swallowed subconsciously. Who was cooking? I don’t know what I made, but it tastes so good.

Originally, some students thought they could hold on until night to cook, but now they couldn't hold on anymore because they were too hungry.

After Xie Yuan cleaned up the small cauldron, he heard the sound of rustling charcoal fire, the sound of clinking bowls and pots coming from the surrounding dormitories. It seemed that someone had accidentally burned his hand, and there were gasps and so on.

These people all came out of the provincial examination, but they still make such mistakes. I can only say that they deserve it.

Xie Yuan found the cotton in the test basket, stuffed it into his ears, opened the oil paper, took out the test paper, and continued to answer the questions.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shangshu came down for inspection. He passed by Xie Yuan's residence and paused slightly. It was him! He glanced at Xie Yuan before leaving.

Xie Yuan glanced at the person leaving from the corner of his eye. It seemed that Jiang Shangshu still remembered him.

In Qingshi Hutong, Xie Yuan was not at home, and Jiang Mingyue couldn't bring herself to do anything. Even though the child kicked her repeatedly in the afternoon, she only walked around the courtyard twice without going out.

Time passed bit by bit. After the sky darkened, Xie Yuan decisively finished the answer sheet. Three days was enough for him to answer the answer sheet.

Xie Yuan dried the ink on the answer sheet, sealed it with oil paper, put it in the examination basket, lit a charcoal fire and cooked porridge in a small cauldron.

The people in the surrounding dormitories couldn't help but started to complain when they smelled the aroma of porridge. Who on earth started cooking dinner again so early? Have you ever thought about these people who are hungry and ready to wake up to do the questions? It's really too much, not a son of man.

Xie Yuan didn't know what the people around him thought, and of course he didn't care. After filling his stomach, he got up and did some simple activities. He put the table and chairs together, stuffed them with cotton and put on clothes to sleep.

Therefore, while the candles in other dormitories were brightly lit and the students were busy answering questions, Xie Yuan turned off the lights early and took a rest. The darkened small dormitory was especially obvious, which made the guards think something had happened and kept coming and going. I looked back several times to make sure that Xie Yuan was resting, so I stopped caring.

In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, when Song Ren was chatting with Xie Rou, she didn't answer for a long time. He turned to look at her and asked absently: "What's wrong? But what's on your mind?"

Xie Rou came to her senses, and before she could answer, she heard Song Ren say: "Today's exam will be held. Zijing is also participating?"

Xie Rou didn't expect that he would still remember this, so she smiled and nodded.

Song Ren held her hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, we should all believe that Zijing is the one."

Xie Rou said softly.

In Qingshi Hutong, Jiang Mingyue lay on the bed early. She was obviously very sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning. She was so used to Xie Yuan's absence! I don’t know if he is resting or answering papers now, but is it time to eat?

Jiang Mingyue thought wildly for a long time, and didn't fall asleep until the beginning of Haishi.

After a while, Apple quietly walked into the bedroom. Seeing that her master was asleep, she covered her with a blanket and walked out quietly.

In the courtyard, Pingguo quickly walked up to Jiang Minghong and said, "Master, Madam is asleep."

Jiang Minghong nodded and returned to the bedroom.

The next day, Xie Yuan woke up as soon as the sky turned gray. Except for a little soreness in his back, he felt no other discomfort. He stood up and put the table and chairs in their original positions. After a brief exercise, he asked the patrolling officer for a bowl of hot water. After filling his stomach with salty pancakes, he continued to answer questions.

At three o'clock, Jiang Mingyue followed her brother out.

In Beiluo Hutong, Shen Jiaoniang was taking her little daughter to prepare lunch when the courtyard door suddenly rang.

"Auntie, I'll open the door."

Shen Jiaoniang said 'hmm' and continued to pick vegetables.

After a few breaths, Chen Ju ran into the kitchen.

"My grandma is looking for you. She calls herself Jiang and says that her young master and young lady want to meet you."

Shen Jiaoniang stood up immediately after hearing this. She walked out a few steps with excitement on her face, then turned to look at her daughter and said, "I'll leave the lunch to you, I have to go out."

Although Chen Ju was a little curious about who was coming, she didn't ask anything.

"it is good!"

Shen Jiaoniang came outside first, asked Jiang Ping to give her a moment, and then hurried back to the bedroom. She quickly put on her most decent clothes, took the gifts prepared for the two of them, and walked quickly Out the door.

In a restaurant near Beiluo Hutong, Jiang Minghong poured a cup of tea and handed it to his sister.

"nervous?"

Jiang Mingyue shook her head gently.

"Have you forgotten? We have met before. My aunt may be surprised when she sees me."

"Then I'm afraid sister will still have to show off."

Jiang Mingyue rubbed her face, made a surprised expression, looked at her brother and asked, "Is this okay?"

Jiang Minghong smiled.

"Okay, sister pretends to be very similar."

After the two siblings had a conversation, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Zhiren arrived, and they looked at each other quickly.

Outside the private room, Jiang Ping opened the door for Shen Jiaoniang and left.

Shen Jiaoniang walked into the private room and saw Jiang Minghong, with a gentle smile on her face. But when her eyes fell on Jiang Mingyue, the smile disappeared instantly and turned into shock and disbelief.

"It's you?"

"I didn't expect you to be my aunt." Jiang Mingyue also looked at Shen Jiaoniang in disbelief.

Jiang Minghong glanced at his sister. Well, her acting skills were quite good. He looked at the two of them pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Have you met before?"

Jiang Mingyue took a few steps forward to help Shen Jiaoniang, who had not yet recovered, sit down and said, "I've seen you before. Last year, your brother-in-law and I came to Kyoto to do some shopping. We happened to meet each other when we were having dinner at the nearby Ruyi Restaurant at noon. Here comes my aunt, cousin and the others."

After a moment of buffering, Shen Jiaoniang finally came to her senses, and she held Jiang Mingyue's hand with her backhand.

"At that time, I felt that you were very kind, and I had a feeling of déjà vu. I didn't expect that you were Mingyue."

Shen Jiaoniang was filled with emotion. She didn't expect that they had met before. It was really fate.

"Yes! At that time, I just felt that I was very close to my aunt. When I separated from my aunt, I told my husband that my aunt looked very much like my grandma!"
