Silly Scholar's Wife

This new year in Rongdu, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi lived peacefully and warmly.With Liu Wenqing and Li Shaojie joining in, occasionally playing together was not at all deserted.

The few people lived happily. Under Mu Chenxi's guidance, they often went out for a walk, without any urgency before the exam.

Time passed so slowly, and the time will be tried in February.With Zhao Huan and Steward Wang Zhang Luo, they prepared the things they needed for the trial early.

On the morning of the test, Zhao Huan thought about getting up early to send Mu Chenxi and the others to the examination room.When he opened his eyes, it was still dark outside, but Mu Chenxi beside him had already got up.

He looked sideways at the empty half of the bed, remembered that Mu Chenxi said yesterday that he would not let him deliver it, so he got up and dressed and went out.

When he arrived at the dining room, Mu Chenxi and the others were having breakfast, and Steward Wang was helping Zhang Luo.The roasted blueberries and bookcases are all put aside, so they can get up at any time after eating.

"I said, let you sleep for a while, why do you have to get up?"

Mu Chenxi saw Zhao Huan walking in hastily, and said helplessly, "With such a group of us, what mistakes can we make?"

"I just went to see it, and I may not have the opportunity to go to the test site to see it in the future."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, seeing that Wang Qingquan and the others were all in high spirits, they must have woken up for a while, and now they are no longer sleepy.

Mu Chenxi brought him a bowl of porridge, "There's no need to hurry, you drink slowly, we still have time."

"Ah."

Zhao Huan sipped the porridge silently, he had already told him what he needed to say, it's better for him to shut up at this juncture.

I just sighed in my heart that Chen Mingrui was missing from these people.He had already decided to give up the imperial examinations and become a teacher with peace of mind. In fact, he was afraid that it would be leaked in the future, and the law did not allow Liu Qingfeng to be implicated.

Zhao Huan really agrees with his move. People who can understand what they want most and have the courage to give up their future will be the happiest.

"Daughter-in-law, drink slowly."

Seeing that Zhao Huan quickly drank half a bowl of porridge, Mu couldn't help laughing at him and said, "Why are you more anxious than me?"

"I'm in no hurry."

Zhao Huan raised his head and smiled at him, "I'm just a little excited. After studying hard for so long, you finally got to take the exam and you made it through!"

This is like the modern college entrance examination. The tense time has passed, and this is the last fight. The mentality of whether you will succeed or not has slowed down, and there is no sense of urgency anymore.

"Well, let you work hard this time."

Mu Chenxi smiled slightly. No matter what, he would only take part in the test once. Although he was quite confident, he still took this as the criterion.

You can't waste all your time on this. Life has been in a hurry for dozens of years, and there is a lot worth doing, so there is no need to focus on scientific examinations.

"I also took the test once."

Liu Wenqing said: "It's too nervous and depressing, this one time is enough. There's no need to be a leader in this, you can look at other areas that you are good at."

"Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?"

Wang Qingquan had no choice but to die, his father would never allow him to take another path, "I am destined not to leave the official career in this life, I am really afraid to see those gray-haired people who are still sticking to it in the examination room, it is too depressing to people's enthusiasm!"

Li Shaojie: "Okay, say something auspicious."

He glared at Wang Qingquan, "I think it's you who discouraged everyone's enthusiasm, and you don't have to worry about it early in the morning."

"Hey!"

Wang Qingquan came to his senses immediately, and hastily said "Bah, bah, bah" several times in a row, "Don't listen to my whining, everything will go smoothly, and our success and fame will be just around the corner."

"Ha ha."

Seeing how superstitious he was, Zhao Huan felt funny in his heart. This was all superficial indifference and nervousness. "You don't need to think so much. Since you have decided to go this way, just face it calmly. Relax, everything will come naturally, so there is no need to belittle yourself."

"My wife is right."

Mu Chenxi agreed. He looked at Wang Qingquan and the three of them, "Whether you succeed or not, you have to go through this. Why don't you face it with a positive attitude?"

"It's nothing more than starting all over again."

Zhao Huan put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Show your courage, don't admit defeat easily, and don't compromise easily. You have studied hard for so long, you must be in the best condition, and show your true strength to fight. Immediate success."

Zhao Huan encouraged a few of them, hoping that they could let go of the burden in their hearts and not affect their test-taking status, "Let's go, I'll wait for you to come back at home to celebrate."

"Okay, let's go."

Mu Chenxi got up immediately, waved to Wang Qingquan and the others, full of pride and ambition, "Daughter-in-law, cook more delicious food, and celebrate together when we come back."

"Do not worry."

Zhao Huan helped him lift the roasted blue, but Mu Chenxi snatched it away, "I'll take it myself, Brother Wang and the others are their own too, so don't make them envious."

"Hahaha."

Wang Qingquan and the others naturally knew that their husband and wife were comforting themselves, and smiled cooperatively: "That is, we are not married yet, so you should stop tempting us to want to marry a wife."

A few of them walked out talking and laughing, before reaching the gate of the mansion, they saw Steward Wang approaching, "Master, there are people outside waiting to lead the way, we will go with them, so we won't block the car. "

"Please, Uncle Wang."

Zhao Huan said with a smile, he had a guess in his heart, turned to look at Mu Chenxi, and found that his eyes were also turning to him, the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts who sent them.

There had been news for a long time, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew that the prince was invigilating the exam this time, so he could do this as a senior brother and give Mu Chenxi some care.

It can be seen from this that Mu Chenxi's guess is correct, the prince is his senior brother.Many signs have exposed his identity, maybe it's not that he didn't want to hide it, but he didn't say it clearly.

Zhao Huan also felt the same way, because the speed of sending them news and sending servants to Master Zhao made people doubt it.

Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan were in a car, and Wang Qingquan and the others were in a car. They were led by the waiting people, and they didn't know which way to go, so they arrived at the test site unimpeded.

The person who led the way had already retired, and Steward Wang came over to report, "Master, we're here."

"understood."

Mu Chenxi and the others agreed to get out of the car. There was already a sea of ​​people outside, but there was not much noise.

Although those students were quiet and tried their best to keep their mentality stable, the anxiety in their eyes could be seen through at a glance.

Mu Chenxi seemed to be here to see someone off, not one of the references. She looked around the crowd with interest, "Why don't you see the students from our academy? Could it be that they haven't come yet?"

He was tall and tall, and stood on tiptoe in the crowd to look into the distance, trying to find the students from his academy, as well as the people who had gone to Rongdu with him before.

"All right."

Zhao Huan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are so many people, the genius is so bright, where do you go to see those people?"

He looked at Mu Chenxi who was completely covered by himself, only showing two bright and flexible eyes, "You are dressed so tightly, even if others see you, they will not recognize you."

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi smiled heartily, "It's because of my warm brand equipment that people can spot it at a glance."

"Yes."

Hearing their conversation, Liu Wenqing smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that Mu Juren is always wrapped in a cotton bag by you, and when he goes out, there are only two eyes left on his handsome face. He has already become famous."

"Hahaha."

Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie were on the sidelines but smiled and said nothing, Mu Chenxi was lucky to find a good wife, everyone in their place knew about it, and they couldn't envy her.

After waiting for about half an hour, the gate of the examination room was gradually opened by the soldiers guarding the gate. It is said that the prince will report to the emperor that the people used in the examination are all seconded soldiers.

Those who originally started the examinations selected some of them and supervised them on the sidelines. Any mistakes should be pointed out and corrected in time. However, no one is allowed to approach the students of the examinations except the soldiers.

Zhao Huan thought it might be a matter of cheating in the scientific examination. Although the crown prince is not the examiner this time, his identity naturally does not allow him to make mistakes in the examination, otherwise how would he face the crowd.

"You take care of yourself."

Seeing that they were about to queue up, Zhao Huan instructed: "Be sure to eat well, and don't take the trouble to drink more hot water."

He prepared a lot of food for Mu Chenxi, with Steward Wang as his guide, Zhao Huan prepared well, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

Mu Chenxi assured, he looked at the students around him, if it would take a long time to wait in line for the inspection, "You go back first, we go to line up, don't wait."

"I watched you go in."

Zhao Huan didn't agree, he decided to wait for Mu Chenxi to enter the examination room before leaving, "Don't worry about me, it's just for a while."

Just as they were talking, the man who delivered letters to Mu Chenxi a few times before came over again at this time, "Please also ask Mu Juren to come with me. A place has been arranged for you in front of you. Now you can go to the examination room."

"It's work."

Mu Juren smiled at him, he didn't expect the prince to be so thoughtful, and even arrange such a small matter for him, "Please lead the way."

"Daughter-in-law, I'm leaving."

Mu Chenxi turned to Zhao Huan and said, mentioning roasted blue and some things, "Go back and rest quickly, there is a brother here, you don't have to worry."

"Well, let's go."

Zhao Huan watched Mu Chenxi and the others leave, and felt a little fondness for the prince again in his heart.

I have heard rumors in Rongdu long ago that the prince is gentle and kind, and he treats poor people very preferentially.Treating those courtiers is also very courteous, without being arrogant.

In addition to the emperor's dislike in recent years, some other people did not appreciate it, and they all had great hopes for the prince.

Zhao Huan had also discussed the facts with Mu Chenxi, and had guessed the emperor's intentions.There are also those rumors in Rongdu that the emperor prefers the son of the noble concubine and attaches great importance to the second prince.

There are several other princes, all of whom are reused by the emperor.Only the prince has been detained in Rongdu in recent years, dealing with some trivial matters, without any major achievements.

Zhao Huan guessed that the emperor would appoint a new crown prince. Judging from all the signs, no one would not doubt the emperor's actions.

The prince is mediocre and has no achievements, how can he be qualified for the position of the new king.The other princes are all important, especially the second prince, whose voice is getting louder and louder now, which is not a good sign.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi curled her lips in disdain, and didn't care about these things at all, "With the status of the prince, it doesn't matter how good the others are, they are not just doing business for the prince."

"The future monarch will naturally stick to Rongdu and take charge of the overall situation. No matter how hard other people work and make achievements, they are still serving the emperor and sharing government affairs for the prince."

Zhao Huan looked at Mu Chenxi's confident eyes and his confident words, and suddenly felt that what he said made sense. With the support of Uncle Guo and Jiang Haohai, it was not so easy to step down.

His thoughts were racing here, Mu Chenxi and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the examination room.As soon as they came over, the few people in front of the line gave way and asked them to wait there for inspection.

The students behind saw this scene, and no one objected to gossip, because there are often family members and servants helping to line up, and these are all taken for granted.

"Everything is going well for us, thanks to Mu Juren."

Wang Qingquan couldn't help feeling that if they relied on themselves, the journey wouldn't have to be so difficult.Now that Mu Chenxi was here, they didn't have to do anything, they all relied on his arrangements.

"That's right, we have really received a lot of favors."

Li Shaojie said that this was something they didn't expect, "I didn't expect Mu Ju to have such a network in Rongdu, and everything was arranged for him."

Just as they were talking, some sergeants came over with a table and placed it at the entrance of the examination room for inspection. Mu Chenxi and the others were the first to bear the brunt.

"Yo!"

One of the middle-aged sergeants, who looked like a general, looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, "Little Juren, you are well dressed, you can't see anything except your eyes."

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi's voice was cheerful, and she deliberately showed off Zhao Huan and said: "My wife is afraid that I will freeze, so she dresses me tightly in winter, and the skin on her face is very thin."

"Hahaha."

When the middle-aged general heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, I'm really lucky to have a good wife."

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi also had a bright smile on his face. At this time, he had already taken off his mask, showing his small white teeth, like a general introducing the things of their warm workshop, "Uncle, look at these things I brought, they are soft and warm. The barracks are also suitable."

"Whether it's training or fighting, it won't hinder you at all. It can also protect you from the severe cold. My friend's barracks is using these now. All the sergeants like them very much. They haven't had frostbite for a long time."

Firstly, Mu Chenxi wanted to use the opportunity of the inspection to make a deal, and secondly, she couldn't bear to see those people suffering in the severe cold.

"Well, that's what Xiao Juren said."

The general nodded and said, and pulled out a pair of gloves from his back casually, "Look, we also have them, and Rongdu is the only one, but I'm not willing to wear them at ordinary times."

"what?"

Mu Chenxi looked a little hesitant, rolled his eyes, and immediately knew which military camp they were, "Dare to ask uncle, you are the only member of the [-]th camp in the West Camp, and they are the only ones that have these gloves."

"Oh"

The general was a little surprised and asked, "Little Juren, how do you know this?"

"hey-hey."

Mu Chenxi smiled shyly. It wasn't because he was seeking a relationship, "We donated it to them through our friends. The Warm Square was opened by my family. I would know where these things are. My friend is in the military camp. He tried these things. It is easy to use and does not delay training and combat. It is specially recommended to various military camps, but most of the officials do not allow it. His friend wrote that he likes it very much, but they can’t buy it without the approval of military supplies. The [-]th household battalion in Daying."

"Oh."

The general looked Mu Chenxi up and down, but said nothing.He waved his hands to tell the inspecting soldiers to hurry up, "Move faster, when there are so many people checking, be careful not to mess things up."

Mu Chenxi looked at her roasted blue, was checked by them again, put it in front of her as it was, said "Thank you," and took her things into the examination room.

The general whispered a few words to the people around him, and one of them caught up with Mu Chenxi, took his roasted indigo and said, "Our general will send the students into the dormitory."

The general watched Mu Chenxi go away with the people he sent, and he couldn't help feeling that it was a coincidence. This time, they weren't here to be on duty, but the emperor sent the prince to invigilate the exam temporarily.

He is Liu Qingfeng's friend, so he naturally knows about Mu Chenxi. , now that he happened to meet him himself, and he was favored in front of him, he should take care of him one or two.

When all this was reported to the prince's ears, he smiled freely and whispered softly, "A good man is rewarded, and sincerity does not deceive others, he deserves it."
