The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't believe the scene he saw in front of him. He wondered if he had hallucinations due to the cold.

Until Shi Yunchen came to his side and lightly beat his shoulder with a folding fan.

"Idiot, what are you doing in a daze? Aren't you happy that my young master is here?"

Nan Xing who followed behind heard this, and couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering: "Master, I haven't reacted yet, I think it must be that you are so happy to see the young master~"

Hearing the words of their master and servant, Lu Xiuyuan finally confirmed that the other party was a real person, not a hallucination caused by his illness.

only

"Uncle? You call me Uncle?" He pointed at himself and stared at Nan Xing in surprise.

The relationship between him and Ah Chen hasn't reached the point of being called this name, right?

Nan Xing nodded, "I'm calling you, uncle."

"What's going on, Ah Chen?" He looked at Shi Yunchen with puzzled eyes.

"It's a long story, let's get into the carriage first." The young master felt that this kind of topic is not suitable for talking on the occasion, so he threw away the folding fan and fanned the wind, "Why don't Nan Xing quickly help my uncle into the carriage?"

The two got into the carriage and sat in the same carriage. Lu Xiuyuan couldn't wait to ask, "Achen, why did you come to the provincial capital? And what's the matter with the name young master?"

The other party didn't answer, but just moved closer to him and sniffed, and then moved to the other side because of the smell on his body.

"Lu Erlang, you are rotten~!"

After saying this, Lu Xiuyuan rubbed his nose: "The weather in the last scene was too hot, and my clothes were soaked with sweat every day. There's nothing I can do about it."

After explaining, he continued to ask the topic just now: "You haven't told me why you came here suddenly? And what's the situation with that uncle's name?"

Seeing his anxious look, Shi Yunchen covered his face with a fan and smiled: "Of course I'm here to do some business."

"Business matters?" Lu Xiuyuan frowned: "Is it just you two? Is there anyone else?"

The other party fanned him with a fan: "Aren't you hot and stupid, can this young master take someone on a long trip? It's just that they didn't come with me."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Without caring about anything else, he continued to ask: "Then why did Nan Xing suddenly call me Uncle? Don't we both have that..."

Speaking of the latter, he himself was a little embarrassed.

When Shi Yunchen saw his reaction, he couldn't help but start to move his eyes from side to side, "Of course I called you that because I was engaged to be married."

"What?! Engagement?!" Lu Xiuyuan suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, "I'm not in the provincial capital? How did you get married in your hometown?"

Hearing these questionings, the young master couldn't help stamping his feet irritably: "It's the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It's settled. Why do you have so many questions!"

You must know that because of coming to the provincial capital, he was often talked about by his elder brother, but the two finally met, and this Lu Erlang only cared about asking such questions.

Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, he quickly coaxed: "I'm just too surprised. I didn't expect that your family would agree to be married when I'm not in my hometown..."

He took the young master's hand, said a few words in a soft voice, and the other party softened up, and began to explain to Lu Xiuyuan.

"My elder brother brought this up. Didn't you say that you would get married if you passed the exam? He was afraid that if you passed the exam, you would go home and do a marriage that would affect your review, so he discussed it with your family first. Settle down."

Um?No matter what, Lu Xiuyuan felt that this reason was untenable. In fact, there was no need to be so anxious. Even if he was lucky enough to win, he could wait until the examination was over before going back to get married.

But he thought about it from the other side's point of view, and then he didn't speak.

"Then your family members agree with that?"

Lu Xiuyuan also met Shi Yunchen's parents, how could the other party agree to betroth his youngest son to someone he had never met before?

After hearing this, the young master didn't take it seriously, and said in a light tone: "They don't care about me, as long as my elder brother agrees."

"Then did your parents make any other requests?" He tentatively asked.

"There are also conditions." The other party looked down at the table next to the carriage, and tapped lightly with his fingers, "Father wants us to..."

"What do you want us to do?" He asked nervously.

No matter what the old father-in-law's request is, as long as it is not too abnormal, he will try his best to meet it.

Seeing his ready look, the other party couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This laughter made Lu Xiuyuan unable to hold back anymore, his heart was overwhelmed by Shi Yunchen, but instead of giving a clear answer, the other party was still laughing.

Thinking of this, he simply stretched out his hand and began to tickle the other party: "Don't you like to laugh, look at me making you laugh enough this time."

When Shi Yunchen was poked in the itchy flesh, he quickly and sensitively moved back.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan followed up and continued to scratch. The young master dodged around, but he couldn't avoid those troublesome hands, so he was forced to keep laughing, tears were about to come out.

In the end, Yunchen collapsed powerlessly on the back seat of the carriage, his chest heaving up and down violently: "No, no, stop making trouble, I said, I said it's okay."

Lu Xiuyuan then withdrew his hand.

He propped up the seat with his hands, looking down at the disheveled clothes, the seductive posture with tears in the corners of the eyes, coupled with the ups and downs of the chest, the most arousing infinite reverie.

This appearance really can't go on.

Shi Yunchen calmed down and sat up again: "Father asked us to celebrate grandma's birthday on their behalf, and there is nothing else."

"It's that simple?" How could Lu Xiuyuan not believe it?

"It's that simple, wait two days to go to the capital to celebrate your birthday, and after you finish the exam, we can go back and get married."

"Ahem" he cleared his throat, "The results of the provincial examination haven't come out yet, and I'm not sure if I can pass..."

Seeing his guilty conscience, the other party smiled and raised his chin: "It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam, you will lose face if you get to the capital."

Lu Xiuyuan always felt that the matter of getting married this time was not that simple, but no matter how much he asked, the other party didn't mention it, and only said that he would know when he arrived in the capital.

Without further questioning, he began to inquire again if he had seen Tian Si and his group of guards on the road. It had been a month and Lu Xiuyuan hadn't seen any of them, so Lu Xiuyuan was a little worried.

Turning to a serious topic, Shi Yunchen's expression also became serious: "I only saw Tian Qi in Fucheng with those guards. His leg was broken when the water fell downhill. He is still being treated now. The others are temporarily Didn’t see, don’t they all stay with you?”

Lu Xiuyuan simply told the other party about his experiences along the way.

When Shi Yunchen heard this, he frowned: "What a waste! You were obviously asked to protect you, but you can't see a single person until now!"

He hurriedly excused the guards: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, and there is no way around this."

The young master squinted at him: "What good things can you say for them? It's their responsibility to protect your safety. If you accidentally get hurt, I will make them go away!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Lu Xiuyuan patted the other party's hand lightly, "Are you okay at home during this time? Have you received the letter I sent you earlier?"

"Letter? What letter?"

Seeing that the other party didn't know about this, he pinched his fingers and counted the time, "It's been almost a month since I sent the letter back, so maybe I didn't meet it..."

Nan Xing, who was sitting outside driving a car, heard this, and hurriedly poked his head in: "Master, our young master rushed over as soon as he heard that the bank of the Wei River had burst. How could we have time to receive any letters?"

Hearing Nan Xing's words, Lu Xiuyuan's heart trembled slightly, he looked at Shi Yunchen's side face, and couldn't help but hold the other's hand even tighter.

"Achen, the journey has been hard."

The other party looked away uncomfortably: "It's all over, and what are you talking about..."

When the sensationalism here was over, his spirit of joy at first sight went down, and he collapsed on the carriage again.

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's weak appearance, Shi Yunchen was startled.

"Lu Erlang, are you okay? Why is it like this all of a sudden?"

Lu Xiuyuan squinted his eyes slightly, trying to explain that he was like this in the first place, but he only regained his energy after seeing Ah Chen.

But he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his heavy eyelids closed first.

When Lu Xiuyuan woke up again, he smelled the smell of herbs all over the room, propped himself up, looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, and recognized that he was lying in the medical hall.

Coincidentally, as soon as he sat up here, Yun Chen pushed the door in with medicine when he was outside.

Looking at the bowl full of dark brown concoction, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but move his body back.

"Why are you backing away? The doctor said that you have a cold caused by a cold and a heat, and you will be fine after drinking a few medicines."

The other party sat on the head of the bed, took a spoon and stirred in the medicine bowl while blowing.

He was sweating silently in his heart. He still remembered the pain of taking medicine at the border last time, and he refused to repeat the same mistakes this time.

"You put the medicine there, I'll drink it myself in a while."

"Huh?" The young master picked up the bowl in confusion, and his tone was full of concern: "You are still very weak, what if you accidentally knock it over? Let me feed you!"

"Come on, ah ~ open your mouth ~"

Looking at the worried face of the other party, and smelling the bitter concoction handed to him, Lu Xiuyuan felt that he couldn't laugh anymore.

After struggling for a moment, he finally followed the body's advice.

"I'd better drink it myself, your spoon-feeding is too torturous." As he spoke, he reached out and snatched the bowl of medicine, and poured it down by himself.

Seeing his reaction, the young master couldn't help but raise a sly smile.

"Oh, what a pity, I thought you would drink it down like last time honestly~"

what? !

When Lu Xiuyuan, who had just poured a bowl of bitter medicine, heard this, the expression on his face froze immediately.

"you do this delibrately?"

When Shi Yunchen heard his questioning, he couldn't help sticking out his tongue: "The good medicine is bitter, what is intentional or not, Erlang, how can you say that."

Seeing the other party's sneaky little expression, Lu Xiuyuan also had the idea of ​​playing a prank in his heart.

"Okay, didn't you say that good medicine tastes bitter? Then I have to let you taste it today."

Before Shi Yunchen could figure out the meaning of the words, he pushed forward and sat down on the head of the bed.

And Lu Xiuyuan also took advantage of the other party's daze, stretched out his hand to cover the back of the young master's head, and pulled him into his arms, their lips overlapped.
