Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the imperial examination.

Xin Ye got up two hours earlier than usual to make breakfast for his brothers who were about to take part in the imperial examinations. He also prepared lunch for them and dry food for the next two days.

Other families brought biscuits and steamed buns, which are staple foods that are not easy to go bad, but Xin Ye prepared dry noodles, minced meat sauce and sweet potatoes for them.

Yan Yiyi got up early, which was rare for him, and had breakfast with his brothers. He also invited Yan Zheng, who was recuperating next door, to come and have breakfast together. It was a last-minute effort to get some good luck and take advantage of it.

Experiments have proved that you can still gain luck points by doing nothing but being kind to Yan Zheng and spending more time with him. Hua Murong and others, except Xin Ye, have been having dinner together in Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye's yard every night during this period. Of course, Yan Zheng is also there.

In less than a week, the luck points of the four people all increased by 0.5. Although it is not much, it can add up to a lot, right?

The key focus is on Xin Ye. Although his luck value does not rise rapidly, it is basically stable and increases by 1 point every day. This is the reward he gives to Yan Zheng for making medicinal food.

Of course, it is not always possible to gain luck by using your luck points. There will be an upper limit, and how much it is remains to be studied.

After breakfast, Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye sent several brothers to the examination hall. Looking at the slowly moving line of examinees in front of them, they lined up obediently.

Yan Yiyi was a little curious: "Brother, are you nervous?"

"Not nervous." Hua Murong looked calm, and indeed there was no sign of nervousness on her face.

Hearing this, Zhong Jing asked for help: "Sister Yi Yi, I'm so nervous, do you have any way to make me less nervous?"

Yan Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it seriously, he suddenly remembered the method of eliminating tension in the animation he saw a few days ago, and said seriously: "Write the word '人' on the palm of your hand, and then eat the word '人'."

After these words were spoken, the other four people, except Xin Ye, were all confused.

Fei Yuning hesitated and asked, "How do we eat it?"

Mu Xiong expressed his confusion: "Is there any explanation for this method?"

Yan Yiyi blinked innocently and thought: It wasn’t explained in the animation, so how would I know.

Xin Ye demonstrated directly and let Zhongjing learn from him.

Zhong Jing did as he was told in a daze. After doing it a few times, he looked up at Xin Ye, who was slightly taller than him, with clear stupidity in his eyes: "Brother-in-law, it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm still very nervous."

Xin Ye was not embarrassed at all. After all, he had never tried this method himself. He was just using it as a tool for his wife.

After thinking about it, Xin Ye wondered if his thinking had been led astray by his wife or what, but he suddenly remembered a similar method in an animation he had watched.

"Hands out."

Zhong Jing obediently stretched out his right hand...

"No, it's like this." Xin Ye went straight to the point and put Zhong Jing's palms together, facing him, and then under the gaze of several people -

"Pa!" Xin Ye slapped the back of Zhongjing's hand heavily.

"Hiss - it hurts!" Zhong Jing looked at the back of his hand that was slapped red. He was not a delicate girl. After this slap, the back of his hand turned red, which showed how much force Xin Ye used.

Hua Murong, Fei Yuning, and Mu Xiong were all confused again:...

Yan Yiyi's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment: Ah~ It seems there is such a method, but...which animation is it from?

This slap attracted the curious attention of people around, but when they saw that nothing was wrong, they ignored it.

A rich girl who came upstairs to send her relative to the imperial examination also noticed them and found that their behavior was strange, but each one was more handsome than the other, especially the man in blue standing on the other side of the girl.

"Do you know where those gentlemen are from?"

The maid looked in the direction her mistress pointed, looked again and again, and confirmed that she didn't recognize them. She shook her head and said, "Miss, they are probably candidates from other places who came to take part in the Spring Examination."

The young lady's eyes were fixed on the man she fell in love with at first sight, thinking about the possibility of marrying a poor student.

Hua Murong felt a burning gaze and looked up, just in time to meet a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. After confirming that the other person was someone she didn't know, she withdrew her gaze.

Yan Yiyi noticed Hua Murong's unusual behavior and looked up. At this time, the young lady was still staring at Hua Murong. Four words suddenly popped up in her mind - "Choose a son-in-law from the list."

Suddenly, Yan Yiyi's eyes lit up.

Looking at the girl carefully, she has a pair of peach blossom eyes that can make even a dog look affectionate. Her natural smiling lips make her look very friendly. She looks beautiful and playful, especially when she is looking at Hua Murong with an infatuated look. You can tell at a glance that her family atmosphere is good, otherwise she would not have raised such a naive and simple girl.

Yan Yiyi made a gesture to the secret guard hiding in the dark, asking someone to investigate the basic information of the young lady upstairs. What if this person is her future sister-in-law?

Yan Yiyi didn’t know whether Zhongjing had gotten rid of his nervousness, but when she came to her senses, they obediently lined up again.

After waiting in line for about half an hour, it was finally their turn to be inspected. The officers found that except for the clothes, all the four people's belongings were the same. If it weren't for the different surnames of the four people, they would almost think they were a family who came to take part in the Spring Examination at the same time.

Brought food...

"What is this? Open it and see if there is anything hidden inside." An officer pointed at the round object in front of him and asked.

Hua Murong sighed helplessly and explained: "This is a pancake. It won't taste good if it's broken into pieces." Although she said that, her hands still honestly broke the pancake into pieces.

The minced meat sauce was not contained in a clay jar but in a bamboo tube. After opening it, they could stir it with a spoon to check it. However, when stirring, the aroma became more overbearing, which made the officials swallow their saliva secretly several times.

Finally, the sweet potatoes.

Everyone in the capital had heard of sweet potatoes, but few had seen them up close. So, when Hua Murong explained that what was in front of him was a sweet potato, not only the official in charge of checking Hua Murong, but other officials and candidates all turned their eyes to the sweet potato.

——This is sweet potato!

The candidate next to him blurted out: "Brother, where did you get the sweet potatoes? Aren't all the sweet potatoes handed over to the court to be used as seeds?"

Hua Murong said proudly: "These are the sweet potatoes grown by my brother-in-law. Yes, it is the Dashan Village where the sweet potatoes are grown. My brother-in-law is from Dashan Village.

The emperor is merciful and has allowed the villagers of Dashan Village to keep some of the sweet potatoes."

When these words were spoken, many people at the scene envied the villagers of Dashan Village for being able to eat such rare sweet potatoes.

Many people present still discriminate against country people deep down in their hearts, but they also want to eat the food that they have grown with great effort.

Human nature is so complex and contradictory.
