Happiness System

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Chun Xing guessed that it was the coachman who had arrived. She was carrying her master's big package on her back and holding her own small package in her hands. She couldn't help but jump and run to open the door.

Seeing that it was indeed the coachman, she couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Master, it's the coachman who's here to pick us up!"

After saying that, she ran to the carriage, climbed up, put the luggage in place, then climbed down and stood respectfully by the side waiting for her masters to get on.

Mu Jingheng led Qin Yunxi out, locked the door, and the two got on the carriage.

Chun Xing sat next to the driver and started chatting with him with joy in her eyes.

As they got closer to Wanling Temple, Qin Yunxi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

She asked the little system: "00, will there be a monk in the temple who can tell that I am not the soul of this world?"

The small system floated over and replied: "Ding, host, this is not a high-level plane. Generally speaking, no one can see it."

generally?

Is it possible that someone can still see it?

Qin Yunxi's mouth twitched. Forget it, just give up!

Wanling Temple is well-known and has a large number of worshippers.

Especially during the provincial examination, more local students’ families came to burn incense.

Fortunately, there were still a few empty rooms in the temple, otherwise they would have to go back to the villagers' homes at the foot of the mountain to stay overnight.

Although Qin Yunxi no longer cared, she still felt relieved when she heard that Master Youming had gone into seclusion.

Life in the mountains was actually even more relaxing and comfortable than at home, but the couple did not really stay there until the government exam was over.

Because the time of the provincial examination coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, they could not abandon their two younger brothers and go out to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Besides, Mu Jingheng’s holiday gift hasn’t been delivered yet!

On the morning of their return, Mu Jingheng took Qin Yunxi to burn a stick of incense and donated a few taels of silver as incense money.

I didn't expect to run into Master Youming face to face when I came out of the Buddhist temple.

The master looked at Qin Yunxi meaningfully, and said in a nonsensical way, "Let's make the best of it."

Qin Yunxi's hair stood on end.

Fortunately, the master was not speaking to her, but seemed to be muttering to himself.

After returning to Mo Nan City, the couple suddenly had an inspiration.

Qin Yunxi stays in the study every day to draw patterns, including embroidery and jewelry.

Mu Jingheng was even busier. In addition to studying, he also had to deliver holiday gifts.

Qin Yunxi had decided on the gift list earlier, but some of the things that had been ordered before were not ready.

Mu Jingheng needed to go get the things back, distribute them, and then personally deliver them to his husband's house along with other things.

"Why are you back? I was just about to ask Chun Xing to bring clothes to your husband." Qin Yunxi was slightly surprised to see Mu Jingheng.

After delivering the holiday gifts, he went out early and came back late every day. If Qin Yunxi hadn't gotten up early to see him off every day, they probably wouldn't have seen each other for a few days.

"The teacher saw the evil spirit coming from this and told us to leave school early, so I took Xiao Ming back." Seeing Chun Xing holding a small package, Mu Jingheng shook his head and continued, "Brother Zhongxia and the other candidates are in trouble. If they are prepared, it's fine. If not, they will probably hold on until the end. Those who are not in good health will be in trouble in the last round."

Qin Yunxi asked Chun Xing to take care of Yin Bao. She followed Mu Jingheng into the bedroom and asked, "Can't we send things in from home?"

Mu Jingheng looked at her with amusement and asked, "Madam, why do you think you can send things into the examination room?"

Qin Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, my brain is frozen after just half a day!"

Turning around, he asked again, "Last time I heard you say that Master Ning was going to hold a poetry gathering. Does that mean he will not participate in this year's prefectural examination?"

"Brother Ziheng is from Kyoto, so he has to go back to take the provincial examination. This time, only Brother Zhuoqi and Brother Zhongxia, who are friends with my husband, participated in the provincial examination."

"Oh? Aren't their families around? I guess their wives will take care of it so they won't be affected at the examination hall."

Mu Jingheng did not continue the topic. He took the clothes Qin Yunxi handed over and asked, "Has Yuanxiufang delivered the autumn clothes?"

Qin Yunxi shook her head and replied, "It should be done now. I haven't taken it back yet."

"Then I will go and get it back now."

Qin Yunxi was about to say that she was not in a hurry, but she heard Mu Jingheng say, "Let's buy two sets of ready-made clothes for Zhongxia as a birthday gift. I hope he can have a smooth third exam and finally achieve his wish of passing the provincial exam this time."

"Then my husband should also take a look at the winter cotton-padded clothes and buy two for himself. I heard that the winter in the south of the desert is much colder than that in Qinghe Town. The weather this year is very weird. I was sweating profusely in the morning, but now there is a cool breeze. Maybe in two days it will be freezing cold again." She smiled and did not object.

I heard that Li Hua had taken the provincial examination for the second time. Since ancient times, it is easier to add icing on the cake than to provide timely help.

My family is not short of that little money, so what if I help them to fulfill their friendship as classmates?

"With such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for!" Mu Jingheng hugged her in his arms.

The day when the second round of the provincial examination ended happened to be Li Hua’s birthday.

Mu Jingheng made ginger soup early and rented a carriage to wait outside the examination hall.

Cao Yu came out earlier than Li Hua. He saw Mu Jingheng at a glance, ran over excitedly and greeted him, "Jingheng, you are so nice, brother!"

Mu Jingheng smelled the scent on him, took two steps back, frowned and asked, "Brother Zhuo Qi, did you draw the stinky number?"

"It's two places away, but it's slightly better than the bad number." Cao Yu shook his head.

Mu Jingheng was about to say something when he saw the frail Li Hua walking out with a pale face and unsteady steps. He frowned and squeezed over to him and called out, "Brother Zhongxia."

Li Hua coughed twice, looked up and saw it was him, smiled and bowed, "Why is Jing Heng here?"

"Come and pick you up." Mu Jingheng helped him walk towards the carriage.

"I prepared some ginger soup. You guys want to have a drink to warm your stomach." He helped Li Hua onto the carriage and asked Cao Yu to get on as well. He poured ginger soup for both of them and then continued, "Today happens to be Brother Zhongxia's birthday. I wanted to have a small gathering, but I thought that Brother Zhongxia must have not slept well in the examination room and needed to go back to rest. So I thought it would be nice to come and greet Brother Zhongxia and have breakfast together. Brother Zhongxia won't blame Jingheng for acting on his own, right?"

Li Hua's cold body felt much better after drinking the ginger soup. He smiled and said, "Jing Heng is thoughtful."

Later, when he saw Mu Jingheng take out the clothes he gave him, he gladly accepted them.

If someone else did this, he would feel that they were pitying and humiliating him.

But this man was the open-minded Mu Jingheng, and he couldn't have such thoughts.

Cao met Li Hua and put on the new clothes on the spot. Seeing that it was a nice fine cotton cloth, he reached out and touched it, teasing: "Jingheng wanted to celebrate Zhongxia's birthday without informing me, which makes me seem a little unkind. Isn't Jingheng afraid of kneeling on the washboard for giving such a generous gift?"

Mu Jingheng replied with some pride: "Then Brother Zhuo Qi underestimated my wife."

His expression reminded Cao Yu of the meal he had at the Mu family a few months ago, and he asked curiously, "Is embroidery really that valuable? My sisters can also make some things, but they can only be exchanged for a few hair bands."

"My wife has superb craftsmanship, and her embroidery is both fine and novel. If she meets someone who knows the goods, she will naturally not give a low price."

Mu Jingheng never concealed the fact that he relied on his wife's embroidery to earn money for his studies. Unlike other people who used their wives' dowries to hide their fear of being ridiculed, he felt that it was something to be proud of that his wife was willing to spend money to support his studies.

That is a sign that his wife values ​​him, has expectations of him and trusts him!

After a few words, the carriage stopped. The driver was told to pick them up in two quarters of an hour, and Mu Jingheng led his men into the restaurant.

After finding a corner with few people, Mu Jingheng, knowing their tastes, took the initiative to order several dishes.

Seeing how extravagant he was, Cao Yu and Li Hua were really afraid that he would go back and kneel on the washboard, so they hurriedly said, "Enough, enough."

Mu Jingheng ordered a few more dishes and asked the waiter to pack them for him to take away later.

This again caused Cao Yu and Li Hua to laugh at him: "Jing Heng, do you think this can make up for your mistakes? You've only been married for a year and you don't know those girls well!"

Mu Jingheng also smiled and shook his head, "I don't know about other women, but I know my wife. Brother Zhuo Qi is not married yet, so he probably doesn't even know what his fiancée likes to eat, right?"

"I really don't know what she likes to eat, but I have many sisters, so I know what girls are thinking." Cao Yu didn't care. He had only met his fiancée a few times, and he didn't know whether the marriage would be successful.

The food they ordered was brought up one after another while they were chatting. Cao Yu and Li Hua's stomachs, which had suffered for two days, were instantly comforted. They were so busy eating that they had no time to talk.

After eating, the two felt even more tired and yawned continuously.

Mu Jingheng asked the waiter to pack the remaining takeaway food into two packages and gave them to Cao Yu and Li Hua respectively, while he himself carried the breakfast he had bought specially for his wife.

When I went out, the driver was already waiting outside.

Cao Yu was annoyed by the noise at home and planned to go back to the academy to have a rest. Li Hua's rented place was also near the academy, and the three of them were all going in the same direction, which was very convenient.

Seeing Mu Jingheng coming back with the oil paper package with the restaurant's name on it, Qin Yunxi asked Chun Xing to heat it up and asked him, "Are they doing well?"

"I think they are quite relaxed." He took her hand and continued with a frown, "Why are you wearing so little, ma'am?"

"Not a few. I'm wearing one more piece of clothing than you all. Maybe it's because I just washed my hands, so they'll be warm again soon. Are you going to the academy next day, husband?"

"No, the teacher has high expectations for this provincial exam, so I guess he won't be in the mood to teach in the next two days."

In a flash, another half month had passed and the results of the provincial examination were about to be announced. The whole alley was bustling and tense.

There was not much wind outside, so Qin Yunxi sat in the yard, basking in the sun while doing embroidery.

Seeing that Xiao Ming and Chun Xing were a little restless, he waved his hand and told them to go and watch the fun.

She looked at Mu Jingheng next to her and asked, "Husband, do you think there is anyone in our alley who can win?"

"Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng are both knowledgeable and talented. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to pass the exam." Mu Jingheng raised his head from his book and asked her, "Madam, do you want to go and watch the fun?"

Qin Yunxi shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's just a fuss."

The announcement of good news during the prefectural examination was more grand and lively than that during the county examination. Although no one in their alley had come to announce the good news yet, someone in the alley ahead had already passed.

Hearing the noise coming from the front alley, the candidates who were still waiting became more nervous.

According to convention, the good news is always announced starting from the last place. At noon, the person who gets the good news will go to the home of the top scorer in the provincial examination, and then the provincial examination, which is held every three years, will be over.

Next it was time for the newly-minted scholars to attend various banquets and poetry gatherings.

It was not until the end of the Si hour that the sound of a gong announcing good news was finally heard from the alley.

After the noise passed, Xiao Ming and Chun Xing finally returned satisfied.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cheng, who Mu Jingheng mentioned had high hopes of passing the imperial examination, both passed.
