In the next few days, several people stayed in the courtyard of Liuer Hutong to prepare for the exam and rarely went out.

After Qian Feng got the book with annotations by Chen Yunyou, he stayed in his room for several days and studied it without sleep or food. Compared with him, Chen Yunyou was much more leisurely.

After getting up early in the morning, Chen Yunyou stood in the yard, facing the morning breeze, and performed the Five Animal Exercises smoothly. His movements were fluent and powerful, and it was obvious that he had memorized every set of movements by heart.

After finishing a set of movements, Chen Yun felt refreshed on his right hand, and he was only breathing slightly. He handled it more easily than before, and it was obvious that his body had adapted to such intensity of training.

Song Xile calculated the time and saw her husband finish the Five Animal Exercises before she called him over for breakfast.

Chen Yunyou responded with a smile and walked towards the dining room.

Ever since he started practicing the Five Animal Exercises, he no longer gets sick as often as before. Even after this long journey, he didn't feel very tired and he felt refreshed after a good night's sleep.

And now he doesn't need to take the decoctions anymore. Xile said that medicine is three-quarters poison. And now his weak symptoms have improved, so he changed from drinking decoctions to medicated food.

Chen Yunyou walked to the dining room and sat down. He looked around and asked, "Qian Feng, haven't you come out to eat yet?"

I don't know what's wrong with this kid these days. He locked himself in the room for two days and even had to have servants deliver his meals to him.

The provincial examination will start in a few days. How can I accomplish it if I waste my energy like this?

Song Xile also felt that this was not feasible, so he handed him a bowl of yam porridge and said, "Go and have a look later."

Chen Yun nodded his right head to show that he understood.

The couple had just reached an agreement when Chang'an finally persuaded the young master, who had been working day and night, to come out of the study.

When they walked into the dining room, Chen Yunyou saw the other person's dark circles and slightly haggard face, and couldn't help but frowned.

He knew that with the exam approaching, the pressure was naturally high, but overexerting himself mentally was extremely detrimental to both the test and his physical health.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest?" Chen Yunyou asked with concern, with disapproval in his eyes.

Qian Feng took a deep breath, lowered his head as if a little embarrassed, and said softly: "I... I stayed up all night to read the book I took from you. The annotations in your book are very novel. Look, I forgot them without realizing it."

Chen Yunyou frowned and said disapprovingly: "Not only is it bad for your health, but the effect won't be very good either."

"The exam is almost here, and it's obviously too late for you to keep reviewing like this. If you stay up late like this, you will only be less energetic during the exam and won't be able to perform at your best."

"Besides, the prefectural examination is relatively basic, and you should have memorized all this knowledge long ago. You should calm down now, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and focus on reviewing!"

After hearing this, Qian Feng suddenly felt a little unsure of what to do.

He knew that what Chen Yunyou said was right, but as the exam was approaching, he was filled with tension and anxiety, and he wanted to review all the knowledge in the book.

He knew that there was not enough time, so he wanted to shorten his sleep time and read more books.

Seeing this, Chen Yunyou understood Qian Feng's anxiety at the moment.

He thought for a moment and said, "From today on, you will review with me. Just follow me and do what you should do when."

"Will this delay your review progress?" Qian Feng asked a little embarrassedly.

Chen Yunyou smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, we help each other and make progress together. If you review with me, it will not only solve your confusion, but also help me find knowledge points that I may have overlooked."

"Besides, by explaining the test questions to you, I can also have a deeper impression of them myself."

After hearing this, Qian Feng felt relieved and agreed happily.

In the following days, Chen Yunyou insisted on exercising with Qian Feng every morning.

At the beginning, Qian Feng felt that the Five Animal Exercises were weak and did not believe that they could strengthen the body.

But he was soon slapped in the face by this realization.

Although he looked healthy, when he first learned the Five Animal Exercises from Chen Yunyou, he collapsed from exhaustion halfway through.

After seeing his classmate perform a set of Five Animal Exercises without blushing or beating his heart, and looking calm and composed, he realized how ignorant his initial thoughts were!

He recalled how his legs felt weak after the county exam and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll practice!"

After morning exercises, the two stayed together to review with peace of mind. During this time, Chen Yunyou would answer some questions for Qian Feng from time to time.

At the same time, they also listened carefully to Qian Feng's understanding and views on the knowledge points. They asked questions and discussed with each other, constantly deepening their understanding and mastery of the knowledge points.

They also have an hour's rest time at noon. After a few days, Qian Feng's daily routine has become regular and his spirit has improved a lot.

During the period when the two of them were reviewing, Song Xile seldom went out, so the matter of going to Zheng's Clinic was put on hold.

Firstly, Song Xile didn't want to distract Yun You because of these trivial matters. Secondly, Song Xile thought that where there are people, there will be disputes. She didn't want to get involved in the crowd and let any accidents happen.

Isn't it written in those novels and stories? Because of the jealousy of the candidates, all kinds of hidden thoughts emerge one after another.

These candidates were wary of each other and were spying on each other, because they were strong competitors. In addition, Yun You was the top candidate in the county, so who knew what kind of monsters he would encounter.

It's not that she was judging others by her own mean character. Xiao Liu and the others were in the city. Who knew if these bad-hearted people would sabotage the Yunyoufu test again.

Moreover, this is the provincial capital, and there are too many powerful students. If you are not careful, you may fall into a trap designed by others.

Song Xile is not willing to wade into this muddy water. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Because Song Xile never went out of the front door or the back door, she didn't know that Yang Ji from Nanyang County also participated in this provincial examination.

And because his father was the magistrate of Nanyang County, he won the first place in the county examination this year.

However, the provincial examination was different from the county examination, and he knew that his father could no longer operate behind the scenes as he had done before to pave the way for him.

This time, he needs to rely on his own strength to compete with these people.

He, a county champion who was not ranked high enough, was competing with those truly talented and capable students. I am afraid the gap would be too big. By then...

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the county, he began to send people to secretly investigate the particularly outstanding students.

He was confident that he could pass the provincial examination, but in the upcoming academy examination, he would have to compete with these people for the position of scholar.

He missed a year last year due to a leg injury, so he was determined to pass the imperial examination this year.
