After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Xiao Minshen, who was sitting on a chair, saw Zhao Jingyan walking at the back at a glance.

It was also clear to see him raising his sleeves to cover his face.

He pretended he saw nothing and signaled Fulu to start interrogating and asking them to sign one by one.

Last time, he caught the little thief outside the courtyard of Minister Gao of the Ministry of Personnel, and he has been sending people to keep an eye on Gao’s mansion ever since.

He went to the palace a while ago and didn't have time to deal with it.

Just then, when he heard from his subordinates that another group of people had entered Gao’s mansion, he brought his men over.

But he didn't expect to meet Zhao Jingyan here.

Isn't it said that Zhao Jingyan is knowledgeable and is the top candidate for the autumn examination?

How could I be fooled by such a trick?

Isn't he just a person with a false reputation?

As Xiao Minshen was thinking about this, he secretly pondered that his father-in-law didn't seem to have very good taste, so why would he choose such a person to marry Shen Yunjin?

Shen Yunjin, who was being talked about, sneezed loudly.

"Master, I'd better put on the blanket, or I'll catch a cold."

Jinzhi put down the embroidery in her hand worriedly.

Shen Yunjin looked at her with resentment.

"Good Jinzhi, please let me open my eyes for a while. It's summer now, how can I catch a cold?"

"If you sneeze, it could be someone talking about your master."

"How do you know someone is talking about you?"

Before he finished speaking, a person jumped in from outside the door.

"Zhao Zhao, why are you here?" Shen Yunjin turned his head with difficulty to look.

"Hey, how did you do this? Who hit you?"

As soon as Wang Zhaozhao entered the room, he saw red and purple bruises on Shen Yunjin's buttocks.

She reached out to touch it but didn't dare to move, and tears fell down her face.

Jinzhi quickly covered Shen Yunjin with the ice silk blanket.

"Okay, stop crying. Are you going to add some spice to me?" Shen Yunjin teased.

There were wounds on her butt in many places. If it were stained with tears, wow, it would feel so good!

Wang Zhaozhao hurriedly wiped the tears from her face.

"I didn't mean it! I just felt bad watching it!"

"Okay, since you feel sorry for me, just talk to me. You don't know, I feel like a turtle after lying like this every day."

Shen Yunjin took Wang Zhaozhao's hand and asked her to sit on a stool beside her.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Wang Zhaozhao's face suddenly became awkward.

Shen Yunjin guessed it at once.

"Han Yang is here to propose marriage?" As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhaozhao's face turned red.

She nodded slightly.

Shen Yunjin suddenly became excited, "When is the date set? Tell me the details quickly."

Wang Zhaozhao blushed and told the story in a mosquito-like voice.

Han Yang went back and told his brother and sister-in-law about the situation, and everyone thought that it should be decided immediately.

Han Yang's sister-in-law spent money to hire an official matchmaker and brought Han Yang to the palace to propose marriage.

Wang's father tested Han Yang's homework, and he, who had been very opposed, finally gave in.

Mrs. Wang and Sister Han Yang agreed to set the date for the announcement of the autumn examination results.

Han Yang was called over by several brothers, saying that they wanted to learn from each other.

"The results of the autumn exam will be announced? That won't be long." Shen Yunjin suddenly felt melancholy.

This also means that in two months, she will be separated from her only best friend.

"He said that he would try to stay in Shangjing." When he said this, Wang Zhaozhao wanted to bury his face in his arms.

"Really? That's great!" Shen Yunjin rubbed his body happily, but it suddenly affected his wound.

"Ouch!"

"Just be quiet. You're already injured, why are you still moving around?"

Wang Zhaozhao reached out and held Shen Yunjin down.

"By the way, what's the matter with your injury?"

"Hey, I just fell into the trap of a villain. It was also my own fault that I was caught by others."

Shen Yunjin sighed and recounted the story of how he climbed over the wall to leave the house, was spotted by the concubine, and then the princess took the opportunity to beat him with a stick.

"Don't be so reckless next time. How can making money be more important than life?"

Shen Yunjin nodded. After being reborn, she was a little anxious.

But I forgot that the path I took in this life is different from that in the previous life.

"By the way, Jinzhi, take the drawings I compiled to Zhaozhao."

Shen Yunjin turned around and gave instructions.

"If you don't come, I'll ask someone to call you over. I'll tell you how to do it, and the rest is up to you."

"Don't worry, at worst I can make a few more trips and ask you if I don't understand something." Wang Zhaozhao almost patted his chest to make the promise.

Jinzhi took the drawings and spread them out beside the bed, and Shen Yunjin explained them to Wang Zhaozhao bit by bit.

Only after she was sure she understood did I let her put the drawings away.

"I'll show you the menu that Chunhua has designed some other day."

"By the way, she also came up with a four-season banquet. It's very interesting to launch a series of seasonal dishes for each season."

Wang Zhaozhao said here,

"Go back and ask Chunhua if she's willing to change her name. She'll be the chef from now on, and the name Chunhua doesn't fit her image at all."

Shen Yunjin thought about it and told her best friend.

"As for the name of the restaurant, I think we should use the old name Zhenxiulou. What do you think?"

"I think it's good too." Wang Zhaozhao nodded in agreement.

"The restaurant's business is at its peak around the autumn exam every year, so the restaurant must be renovated within a month. Do you think this is feasible?"

"It should be possible. The original structure of the restaurant can still be used. We are just remodeling a part of it. I will hurry up and finish it."

Wang Zhaozhao lowered his head and thought for a while. At worst, he could mobilize the whole family.

"Since Han Yang and you are engaged, I will give you a big gift."

Shen Yunjin winked at Wang Zhaozhao.

"Haven't you already delivered it to Zhenxiulou?" Wang Zhaozhao was a little curious.

"Zhenxiulou originally belonged to you. I just came up with an idea, and it was you who suggested buying Chunhua."

"Yuzhi, bring all the papers under the paperweight on my desk."

Shen Yunjin did not reveal the answer immediately.

Yuzhi handed a stack of papers to Wang Zhaozhao, who took it and was confused.

"What is this? I know all the characters, but why can't I understand them when they are put together?"

Shen Yunjin smiled, "This is a collection of the contents of the imperial examinations in previous years that the prince brought back, as well as some policy essay examples."

What Shen Yunjin didn't say was that this also included a detailed list she had made based on the content of the imperial examination in her previous life.

This cannot be said and cannot be explained. The best way is to blame it on Xiao Minshen.

"Oh, how did you get this?" Wang Zhaozhao was very surprised.

"There will be a store in the court that sells this soon, but you must remember to tell Han Yang not to let anyone else see this copy. After all, at this stage, whoever is familiar with it first will have a better chance of getting the top spot in the exam."

Yes, Shen Yunjin wanted Han Yang to become the new top scholar in this life!

She wanted to see if Zhao Jingyan could still become the top scholar without her help.
