Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Although Xu Yun said it was impossible.

OK.

But that night I had a very honest dream that I was admitted to a prestigious university.

She dreamed that she became the top scholar.

When he was a child, Xu Yun had seen the top scholar riding a horse in a parade through the streets.

He was wearing the top scholar's uniform bestowed by the emperor, a top scholar's hat on his head, a flower in his hair, and riding a white horse - leading the way was the top scholar, followed closely by the second and third place scholars.

Both sides of the street were filled with people watching the fun, and young girls would blush and throw flowers and handkerchiefs at them.

Xu Yun saw that scene once and remembered it.

What is glory?

She felt that was it.

Xu Yun dreamed that he was wearing the top scholar’s ​​uniform and hat, with pomegranate flowers unique to June on his head, and was waiting to mount a horse and go on a parade.

Then she discovered she couldn't ride a horse.

Not only can I not ride a horse, I can’t even find a horse!

Xu Yun was anxious at the time - how can I parade on horseback without a horse? Where is my horse?

Xu Yun woke up because of this anxiety.

After waking up, I was confused for a while, and then I was amused by my own dream.

Being the top scholar but having no horse, this is a reminder to her that this is impossible and she should stop imagining things?

Turning his head, Xu Yun saw Gao Yu's horrified look.

Gao Yu asked cautiously: "What's wrong with you? Why are you laughing so strangely?"

It scared her awake.

Xu Yun was too embarrassed to say what he dreamed about, so he changed the subject: "Oh, I dreamed of eating roast chicken last night, and I thought about asking Sister Hongyu to buy a roast chicken later."

Gao Yu was speechless for a moment. He reached out and poked Xu Yun, rolling his eyes: "What a waste!"

She didn't even want to talk to Xu Yun anymore!

A roast chicken is laughing like this!

Gao Yu called her maid, "Go buy three roast chickens! Let Ah Yun eat one by himself!"

Xu Yun: …

It doesn’t matter whether the chicken is roasted or not.

Xu Yun planned to go to the Reading Pavilion today.

But after thinking about the huge crowds yesterday, she finally gave up the idea.

Just after breakfast, Luo Zhan had someone deliver the official newspaper.

After searching for several days, he finally found it.

Xu Yun got a new job, which was to carefully read all the official reports since the founding of the State of China.

She suspected that the test questions would come from here.

Gao Yu watched with Xu Yun for a while, but couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and ran out to go shopping.

A lot of people have recently poured into the city of Beiping - half of them are businessmen doing business, and the other half are candidates for the imperial examinations.

Almost all the inns in the city were full.

Most of the empty houses in Gongyuan have been rented out.

When she came back, Gao Yu bought a lot of new gadgets to share with Xie Wanqing and Hongyu: Although Xu Yun also liked these, she liked reading the most. She was not very enthusiastic, so Gao Yu was not very happy to share this with her.

Xie Wanqing was also looking forward to hearing Gao Yu talk about those lively scenes. She turned to Hongyu and said, "Let Wang Li accompany you and go out for a walk."

Hongyu had no interest in shopping and only said, "What a pity, with so many people here, we can't do business and make money—"

Neither of them dared to go out.

Occasionally, when they would buy needlework, they would ask Wang Jing's eldest daughter-in-law to do it.

Xie Wanqing's heart moved, and she suddenly said: "I have an idea——"

Now, not to mention Hongyu, even Gao Yu looked at Xie Wanqing with great interest.

Xie Wanqing hesitated a little: "Have you heard of a kind of cake? It's called Zhuangyuan Cake."

Hongyu has never heard of it.

Gao Yu had never heard of it either.

But Gao Yu was very interested: "Zhuangyuan Cake? Is it delicious? Is it a southern cake?"

She was born and raised in the North, and the North is really... poor.

There are even fewer things like snacks.

Xie Wanqing explained the origin of Zhuangyuan Cake: "It is a snack from the south, and it is not difficult to make. Originally, it was only made by families with students taking the imperial examinations to bring good luck."

"Later, because it tasted good, some people started making it on weekdays. But it has always been called this."

“I haven’t seen any for sale here.”

Gao Yu's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "How about we do it? It will also bring good luck?"

Hongyu was more concerned about making money: "We can eat it ourselves, mother, do you want to sell this?"

Xie Wanqing nodded, looking at Gao Yu a little embarrassedly: "Our family is poor, so I had this idea."

She was afraid that Gao Yu would laugh at her.

Gao Yu would not laugh at that. Although she had not suffered much, she knew that people's lives were difficult.

Therefore, noticing Xie Wanqing's gaze, Gao Yu smiled brightly: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I think Ah Yun is smart, and she inherited it from her aunt! Aunt, I think it's feasible. First of all, no one has eaten this thing before, and I'm sure many people want to try it. Secondly, during this period of time, just for this reputation, this cake is also selling well!"

"It's definitely not appropriate for us to go out and sell it in public. After all, Ah Yun has to take the imperial examination."

Gao Yu hesitated for a moment and thought: "Why don't we ask Aunt Deng? She knows a lot of people, maybe she can find a suitable person to sell it to."

Xie Wanqing didn't expect Gao Yu to support her like this. She was a little surprised for a moment. After listening to her ideas, she also felt that she should ask Aunt Deng.

So Xie Wanqing asked someone to ask whether Aunt Deng was at home.

Aunt Deng was not at home, but she went home for lunch at noon. When she heard Xie Wanqing looking for her, she came over.

Xie Wanqing is already making rice cakes.

But now I have just soaked the rice and have not yet made the finished product.

But after hearing Xie Wanqing's idea, Aunt Deng slapped her thigh and gave a high degree of affirmation: "Great, this is a good thing! The child worked hard to pass the imperial examination, and we can earn some money at home to supplement it. What's wrong with that?"

"However, since Ah Yun is going to take the exam, it is not appropriate for us to come forward." Aunt Deng pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I remember, officials are not allowed to do business."

"But if they are brothers or side branches, then there is no problem." Aunt Deng thought about it and showed an embarrassed expression: "Now that you mention it, I have an idea - it's a little inappropriate."

But it's not suitable, and she also wants to talk about it and try it to see if it works.

Xie Wanqing was so embarrassed that her face almost turned red: "What is appropriate or inappropriate between our two families? Tell me quickly! If you do this again, I won't discuss it with you next time!"

Aunt Deng was indeed embarrassed, but she was not the kind of person who would shy away from it. Since she had brought it up, she had to say it out loud. She said, "Actually, Dalang and his wife are a good match."

"We'll make it at home. If anyone asks, just say you're helping Dalang and his wife. Then, they'll distribute it to people who want to sell it. It's definitely not appropriate to rent a shop, so we'll just sell it piecemeal."

"Those who bought the cakes can carry their baskets and sell them on the street - the urban management doesn't really care about this, as long as they don't occupy the road. I can guarantee this."

Aunt Deng showed a confident expression.

After all, she deals with these people every day and she is very familiar with them.
