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

"Sir, why don't you change the question? Many people answered this question, but no one got it right." The guy kindly reminded.

Zhao Jingyan shook his head, took the paper and pen from the waiter, and began to answer the questions confidently.

The other students gathered around.

"Hey, doesn't yellow flower refer to chrysanthemum?"

"Yes, he didn't write about autumn, but about spring? Isn't the difference too far-fetched?"

"Maybe he is right? So many people in front are Fu Qiu, right?"

"Yellow flowers are like scattered gold? Green strips are always emerald, yellow flowers are like scattered gold, isn't this talking about rape flowers?" Someone suddenly realized.

Zhao Jingyan finished writing without distraction and handed the question to the clerk.

The guy immediately took the paper to an old man nearby and unfolded it to show him.

After a while, the guy came back and hit the drum with a bang.

"Student Zhao Jingyan answered "Gold Like Scattered Flowers", today's purchase is free!"

After that, he handed Zhao Jingyan a silk flower and a number plate, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Song Liang also bowed his hands and congratulated him, "Brother Jingyan is so talented that you have solved such a difficult problem. In this year's autumn exam, Brother Jingyan will definitely be the top scorer!"

"No, no, it's just a coincidence." Zhao Jingyan also responded modestly.

He suppressed the pride in his heart and extended his hand to let Song Liang sit down.

Several students who were familiar with Zhao Jingyan immediately gathered around him.

"Brother Jingyan, can you tell us how you solved the problem?"

"Yes, the teacher always said that you are the best at solving questions. You can teach us so that we can solve other questions and have a chance to get free."

Zhao Jingyan humbly explained his method of solving the problem.

Standing among the crowd, he was shining brightly.

In the private room on the second floor, a woman shyly watched his every move.

"Zhu'er, give this lady's silk flower to Mr. Zhao."

It turned out that every guest in the private rooms of "Zhenxiulou" could pay ten taels of silver to buy a silk flower.

When you see a student you admire, you can give the silk flower to him/her.

The other party can take the silk flower to the shopkeeper to exchange it for cash or a chance to get a free meal.

Zhao Jingyan was still a little dazed when he received the flowers handed to him by the maid.

The other students who had already understood the rules started to make a noise.

After his classmates’ explanation, Zhao Jingyan finally understood the meaning of silk flowers.

He raised the silk flower, waved it towards the second-floor window, and bowed.

Everyone started to make a noise again, asking Zhao Jingyan to treat them.

Zhao Jingyan agreed loudly and enthusiastically.

At this moment, the drum next to the stage was struck again.

"Student Han Yang has solved a limited-time "Strategy Theory" question, and today's purchase is free!"

"Hey, where is the student Han Yang? Where did he go?" The guy turned around, but didn't see anyone.

Everyone was talking about it.

"Who is Han Yang? Why can't I see anyone?"

"I didn't see it either. Could it be that the restaurant made it up?"

"No, no, I just saw him. He was a very thin student. He answered the questions very quickly. I thought he was just guessing!"

"You left without even trying to get a free meal? Could you be the son of some court official?"

"He doesn't want it, so it would be great if I could give it to him. Besides, the food at Zhenxiulou is really delicious!"

"That's right, I was lucky enough to have a taste of it that day, it was truly a delicacy from heaven!"

"Stop talking, you're making me drool. Solve the problem quickly. If you solve it correctly, we can both have a free meal."

The two most difficult questions were removed and replaced with new ones.

Zhao Jingyan looked around the crowd but didn't see any familiar figures.

Han Yang! This name once again made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Brother Song, fellow students, I have an academic problem that I want to discuss with the teacher, so I will not accompany you. Please eat as much as you want, and I will put it on my account."

Zhao Jingyan stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Brother Zhao, it's rare that you come out to relax, there's no need to work so hard!" Someone pulled his sleeve and stopped him from leaving.

"Forget it, forget it. We are classmates and we are all taking the autumn exam. Let's let Brother Zhao go first." Song Liang came to Zhao Jingyan's rescue.

Zhao Jingyan bowed to everyone again and walked out.

When the people in the private room on the second floor saw this, they hurriedly chased after him.

Unfortunately, when she chased downstairs, Zhao Jingyan was no longer there.

She stamped her feet unwillingly.

"Miss, let's go back quickly. If the master finds out that you have come to the market again, I will be punished again."

The maid ran out and put the cone hat in her hand on the girl, covering her beautiful face.

In a blink of an eye, the autumn exam time has arrived.

Shen Yun got up early in the morning and started working. She asked the maid to cook rice dumplings for breakfast.

"I wish my husband success in the imperial examination!" She held up the rice dumpling and said to Zhao Jingyan with a smile.

Zhao Jingyan reached out and hugged her, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After breakfast, Zhao Jingyan refused the farewell offers from other family members and took a carriage with Shen Yunchu to the examination hall.

Outside the examination room, there were already crowds of people gathered in three layers.

There are family members like Shen Yunchu who send their children to take the exam, and there are also servants who accompany their children to take the exam.

There were also carriages belonging to the wives of high-ranking officials who wanted to capture a scholar as their son-in-law.

"Come on, husband. The children and I are waiting for you to return home victorious." Shen Yunchu handed the bag to Zhao Jingyan.

"Well, there are a lot of people outside, you should go back quickly." Zhao Jingyan waved his hand and walked into the examination room with the students he was familiar with.

Shen Yunchu looked at Zhao Jingyan's back reluctantly, and looking around, she felt an impulse.

In this autumn examination, Zhao Jingyan will top the list and become the number one scholar, and she will be the wife of the number one scholar!

Thinking of this, she turned the carriage around and went shopping to buy new clothes and jewelry.

"Madam, there are a lot of people outside today. Let's go back home first and go out for a walk another day, shall we?" Chunxiang advised.

"Are you the master, or am I the master?" Shen Yunchu said impatiently.

Finally, the carriage went to East Street, the most prosperous street in Shangjing.

Chunxiang carefully helped Shen Yunchu get off the carriage and came to the largest "Fengxiang Silver Shop" on East Street.

"What would you like to see today, lady? We have gold, silver, and jade jewelry in our silver shop."

As soon as I entered the door, a waiter came over and greeted me flexibly.

"Show me the latest styles in your store."

"Okay, please go to the second floor. The latest styles and customizable styles are all on the second floor."

The two followed the waiter to the second floor, which was filled with small compartments with only a curtain hanging at the door.

A domineering voice was coming from a small compartment near the stairs.

"Boss, are these junk the latest styles you have here? Isn't Fengxiang Silver Shop the largest silver shop? Are you trying to fool me?"
