Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Shangguan Lan was extremely lucky, and drew the most comfortable old account. The only drawback of this old account was that it was located in the middle of the area, and the daily coming and going of people was very disturbing.

At this moment, he had to admire his precious sister's ability again, as she even thought of this for him.

When the test papers were handed out, he calmly took out two conical corks from a box, stuffed them into his ears, and then carefully picked up the test paper to examine it.

The sun was shining brightly throughout the morning, but unexpectedly the weather turned gloomy in the afternoon and it soon started to rain heavily.

There were suddenly many wailing sounds coming from the dormitory. Rainy days were the weather they were most worried about, because it was very likely that the test papers would get wet, and the temperature would definitely drop a lot at night.

Those who didn't bring enough clothes and bedding will probably be in trouble this time.

Shangguan Lan looked indifferent from beginning to end. He took out a neatly folded piece of oil paper from his bag. When it was spread out, it was half a meter long and wide, enough for him to cover the entire table.

This way, even if the roof leaks, there is no need to worry about the test papers or bedding getting wet.

In just less than a day, he had silently sighed in his heart countless times: His little sister is really a treasure!

Although the spring rain continued, there were still many people holding oil-paper umbrellas and gathering outside the Imperial Examination Hall, even though the people inside would not come out until five days in a row.

There was suddenly some commotion at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. A curious person came closer to take a look and found that a noble lady in gorgeous clothes was arguing with the gatekeeper.

This noble lady was none other than Bai.

In the afternoon, the weather suddenly turned cold and it started to rain. She was shocked to realize that she had not prepared waterproof oil paper or warm clothes for her son.

She never expected that her son had such bad luck this time but he actually got a seat number, but looking at the sunny weather, she felt a little bit lucky.

The weather is getting warmer, and even in the temporary shelter made of straw mats, it shouldn't be too cold at night with bedding covering us.

Who would have thought that God seemed to be deliberately against her and changed his attitude in just half a day.

She was so cold in the inn that she couldn't help asking the waiter to bring a charcoal brazier, but how could her son survive?

After thinking it over, he made up his mind and packed his bags to go to the Imperial Examination Hall for the imperial examination.

She originally thought that money makes the world go round, and it was no big deal to just ask someone to send a bundle to her son.

However, reality slapped her in the face. When the gatekeeper saw that she wanted to give him money, he started to chase her away without saying a word.

He didn't even bother looking at the bag full of money, but waved it away, and it rolled into the mud.

After a few people pushed and shoved, the bag of silver was trampled and disappeared, and Bai Shi didn't care about it. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her head. Seeing that the bribery failed, she suddenly knelt on the ground.

The fine silk material was soaked in mud and water, and the cold ground pricked her knees.

But when she thought about the possibility that her precious son would catch a cold and be carried out before he could finish the test paper, Bai gritted her teeth and endured it.

Tears flowed freely as she pleaded:

"Please give me some leniency, sir. The weather has suddenly turned so cold. If my son gets sick from the cold in there, how will I, as his mother, survive?

It's just this bundle. The officials checked it casually and found that there was only a piece of waterproof oil paper in it besides warm clothes. Please be kind and send this bundle to my son!

I kowtow to you!"

After saying that, she gritted her teeth and knocked her head straight down on the muddy ground. When she finally raised her head, her facial features were almost unrecognizable.

It was really hard to look at her like this, and it was also very... funny.

The officers who stopped the people were originally furious, but after seeing Bai's appearance, they kept on enduring, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

One of them bent over and laughed until his stomach hurt. He held his stomach and said to the people around him incoherently:

"Still standing there, what are you doing? Hurry up and get this crazy woman out of here!"

When Bai was thrown out to an open space ten feet away from the Imperial Examination Hall, she looked as if she had been fished out of mud.

She had never been so embarrassed in her life, and now she felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die!

The maid with the black mole on her face still accompanied her. Compared with her master, she was much better, with only the hem of her skirt stained with mud.

Bai was furious when she saw this. She reached out and grabbed the man's arm and violently dragged him to the ground, cursing:

"You blind slave, how dare you only care about yourself and not care about your master's life or death? What use is there for you?!"

The maid may have fallen too hard, and she didn't move for a long time.

Bai became even more angry and kicked her leg, yelling:

"Stop pretending to be dead here and help me up quickly!"

When the two mud monkeys finally returned to the inn, they were mistaken for beggars begging on the street by the innkeepers and were almost beaten out with sticks.

Fortunately, Liu Xixue was worried about her mother, so she had been guarding the door of the inn with her maid, so she recognized her as soon as Bai opened her mouth.

With her testimony, the innkeeper let the two in with a look of disdain. The little girl's face flushed red, she lowered her head to avoid the sight of the people around her, and led Bai to the room quickly.

Old Master Liu was busy looking through the account books when he looked up and suddenly saw two clay monkeys who were almost frightened to death.

He covered his chest and coughed for a long time. Seeing this, Bai subconsciously wanted to step forward to help him smooth his back. As soon as she raised her hand, she saw that her hands were covered with mud, so she had to put her hand down in disappointment.

Afterwards, Bai was naturally scolded by Mr. Liu. Even though she felt wronged, she could only endure it silently. Who made her not only fail to accomplish the task but also lose face? !

Because he had been tossing and turning in the mud for a long time, coupled with the depression in his heart, Bai had a high fever that night.

Mr. Liu, who originally had a weak constitution, fell ill the next day after being tortured by her.

Only the youngest daughter was left to take care of the two elders. Within three days, she became so thin that she seemed like she would fall down if the wind blew.

However, as if things weren't bad enough, worse things were yet to come.

On the fourth day of the imperial examination, Liu Jiadalang fainted in the dormitory due to a cold and was carried back to the inn where he was staying, thus eliminating his chance of passing the exam.

When Bai saw this, he was so shocked that his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.

The family of four struggled for nearly half a month before they finally recovered.

Especially Bai, her originally plump and rosy cheeks had become visibly thinner, her cheekbones were high and prominent, and her face was pale and bloodless.

Her heart was filled with resentment and resentment, and she felt like she had difficulty even breathing.

Old Master Liu ordered his servants to pack their bags and prepare to return home with a gloomy look on his face, but Bai Shi did not move from beginning to end. She had only one thought in her mind: she must not go back in such a miserable state.

She still has a trump card that she hasn't used yet, she still has a chance to turn things around!

So she asked Mr. Liu to postpone her departure for another five days on the grounds that her health was not yet fully recovered.

Then on the second day, she went to Shangpin Pavilion alone with her maid.

When he saw the visitor, Shopkeeper Li showed no surprise at all, as if he had expected the other party to come.

With the experience from last time, when Manager Li saw the visitor this time, he led the person to the backyard of the shop to avoid any more rumors.

It happened that Fu Qiuyang and Shangguan Yunxin were there, each holding an account book and flipping through it.

Seeing the person coming, Fu Qiuyang closed the account book with a snap, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"I haven't seen Madam Liu for just a few days and she has become so thin. It seems that she is not used to the local climate. Since your son has no hope of passing the imperial examination, why doesn't he go back quickly?"

Being touched on a sore spot, Bai's body swayed slightly. She tightly grasped the arm of the maid beside her and took a deep breath to calm herself.

Then, as if he didn't hear anything, he took out a brocade bag from his sleeve pocket, untied it, and pulled out a yellowed piece of paper from it.

Seeing this, Fu Qiuyang immediately guessed something, and the panic in his eyes flashed away. He couldn't help but look at the girl next to him, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

What is coming will come sooner or later. There is no such thing as a thief who can thieves all day long. He just accepts it calmly. As long as the person he loves believes in him, there is nothing to worry about.

Seeing that the other party had not responded, Bai Shi made up his mind and directly read out what was written on the paper:

"There is a beautiful woman, I never forget her when I see her; I miss her like crazy when I don't see her for a day. If the beauty and I are of the same mind, I hope she will come to my courtyard at midnight today to relieve my longing for her."

She raised her head proudly and asked sarcastically:

"I wonder if Yang Ge'er still remembers these words that you once wrote to your beloved. Although you were young at that time, you were deeply in love with her!

It's like asking a woman to knock on your door. This is really shameful! Do you know what happened to the concubine you seduced?

Tsk tsk tsk, how can one word describe how miserable it is! "
