Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

"Miss, Miss, wake up." Chuntao's voice.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xi muttered.

"How come you fell asleep in the bathtub? The water is almost cold. If I hadn't come in, you would have caught a cold. Hurry up, get up and dry yourself." Chuntao helped Ye Xi up, picked up the towel on the bath rack to dry her body first, and then put on clothes.

Ye Xi felt dizzy and Chun Tao could hardly hold her up. Chun Tao helped her to the couch and covered her with a blanket so that she could rest. Ye Xi fell asleep immediately.

The next day, after Ye Xi woke up, she lay in bed. This was one of her few happy moments. She suddenly remembered what happened last night, then sat up and called Chun Tao in.

"Chun Tao, did I fall asleep right away last night?"

"Of course, miss, you were so sleepy that you fell asleep in the bathtub and almost caught a cold. I saw you didn't come out for a long time, so I called you outside the door for a long time and you didn't respond, so I went in and helped you out." Chuntao said while combing her hair.

"I just felt my eyelids were heavy and I was very sleepy last night." Ye Xi suddenly remembered the fragrance from last night, "By the way, what kind of incense did you burn last night? Didn't I say I don't like fragrance, so why not light it?"

"That's not what I ordered. I guess Madam thought that no one had lived in this room for a long time and was afraid that there would be a smell so she ordered some incense to get rid of it."

This is one of the ways to get rid of the smell in the house, and it is very common. Ye Xi didn't ask anything. She originally felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate, but she just felt her body and didn't seem to feel anything wrong. Besides, she was at home now, with so many people coming in and out, it was unlikely that someone would break in without being noticed. Thinking of this, she felt that she was having that kind of dream, which was really too indecent. It turned out that she was such a person, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

After breakfast, Ye Xi went to Madam Ye to act like a spoiled child. She hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. Madam Ye naturally asked the couple why they didn't have children. Ye Xi said they were planning, but it was probably because they were not destined to be together. She really couldn't tell Madam Ye that she was being taken over by Yang Jian, and now Pei Zhu was being controlled by someone else. She didn't know if she would annoy the other party if she rashly went back to her parents' home this time. She had to think about how to break the situation.

Ye Xi's gloomy face made Madam Ye think that they were worried about not having a child, and she blamed herself for not speaking well, because it was rare for her daughter to come back, and the couple was still young. Ye Xi asked about Ye Xin, and Madam Ye said that Ye Xin went to the academy early in the morning. Now that the autumn examination is approaching, he is very hardworking. He usually studies poetry and books at home. These two days are the discussion days agreed by the academy, so he went to the academy.

The imperial examinations of the Zhou Dynasty are similar to the modern college entrance examinations in that in the year of the examination, famous teachers would predict possible test questions based on some current hot topics in recent years, such as arguments on the direction of court policy, discussions on flood control or disaster relief, etc., and the teacher would also answer questions from students.

After listening to this, Ye Xi asked again: "Mom, have you prepared the items that my brother will take to the exam? I can help you."

Madam Ye smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have already prepared it with the maids. I will show you."

Madam Ye asked her maid to take out all the fabrics prepared for Ye Xin to take the exam and showed them to Ye Xi one by one. Ye Xi heard that the dormitory was narrow and small, and he had to answer questions, sleep, eat and even go to the toilet there. It took nine days. Going to the toilet was allowed, but a black mark would be stamped on the answer sheet. The examiner would think that the person was suspected of cheating, and it would be difficult for him to get a good rank no matter how good his writing was. Many people lost half their lives after taking the exam. Ye Xi was really worried that her brother would not be able to endure it.
