Fang Nanzhi also lowered his head.

She felt a little uncomfortable because she was not careful enough.

"Dad, I know I was wrong."

Both of them were scolded so hard that Fang Tong finally calmed down a little.

Qian Fengping smoothed things over.

"Okay, wasn't this also an accident? Besides, second brother is so smart now that he knew to hide in the water. Zhizhi is not bad either. Didn't she pull second brother with her when she ran away?"

Fang Tong's face turned black: "Don't praise them all the time. They're all getting cocky and thinking they can do anything. The more trouble they cause, the bigger it gets."

Qian Fengping stopped talking too.

In the end, the two were punished to stand and were asked to be responsible for today's dinner.

Fang Yin and Zhizhi worked together to make a pot of mushy porridge.

Fang Tong didn't even dare to give this porridge to Qin Yan after school, so what would he do if he gave the examinee diarrhea?

He made it again for his son, but Qin Yan gave some to Zhizhi and the others.

"Dad, my sister is still young. She will definitely learn from her mistakes. Please don't be angry."

Thanks to his good words, the matter was over, but Fang Tong still didn't let the two of them go up the mountain.

The rejuvenation pills are almost gone.

Let’s go up the mountain later. When he is free, he can go with us.

Ten days later, early in the morning, the whole family drove an ox cart to the provincial capital.

They booked three rooms at the Chunfenglai Inn in the city.

Qin Yan lived alone in a room, Qian Fengping lived with her daughter, and Fang Tong lived with his second brother.

When they arrived at the provincial capital, it was almost noon. After parking the ox cart at the inn, they had their meal in the lobby.

The provincial examination is approaching, and Chunfenglai Inn is very close to the examination site, just a few hundred steps away.

The room rate of this inn is the most expensive, but there are still candidates scrambling to stay here.

"I heard that the gambling house recently opened a betting game for who can win the first place in the provincial examination, and Liu Yanming has the lowest odds."

"That's right. Young Master Liu is the top student in Tong County. He's only sixteen years old and comes from a family of scholars."

"I actually think Wei Ting is quite good. I had the honor of meeting him once at a poetry gathering some time ago. He is both talented and has excellent character."

A few people dressed as scholars were talking at the next table.

Fang Nanzhi looked over curiously.

She had never heard of the people they were talking about.

Qin Yan turned her little head around.

He also gave her a warning look, telling her not to chat up random people.

There were more than a dozen counties under the jurisdiction of the prefectural capital. Each county had its own top judges and geniuses, so it was normal for powerful figures to appear.

Fang Nanzhi nodded obediently. She understood that she had to keep a low profile.

"I heard that Master Liu is hosting a banquet for fellow scholars at Fuxiang Tower tonight, saying they want to exchange poems."

"Wow, the exam is coming up soon, how can he have the confidence to do this?"

"After all, his father is the co-magistrate of this prefecture, and he has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, so he does have some confidence. Are you going to attend tonight? It's also a good opportunity to meet people."

Several people started to discuss.

This time Fang Tong couldn't sit still anymore and made faces at his son.

Qin Yan shook his head.

The exam is coming up soon, who has the time to worry about these things? It’s better to focus on reviewing and adjusting your mindset.

There will be plenty of opportunities to socialize in the future.

After the family finished their meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

When I woke up from my nap, Qin Yan was already reading a book.

Leaving Fang Tong to accompany him, Qian Fengping took her daughter and second brother to listen to stories again.

They didn't need to prepare food for this re-examination.

Perhaps because of the cheating incident in the imperial examination, the provincial examination became much stricter.

Candidates can only bring their examination permit to take the examination.

As for the writing brushes, ink, paper, and food, they were all provided by the examination center, and they also had to pay a food fee to the examination center.

So Qian Fengping didn't need to prepare anything and just stayed there. She was nervous, so she brought her daughter out.

The family had just found a good seat in the teahouse when they saw someone they knew.

Fang Jin and Wang Fujiao came in together.

Wang Fujiao had gained some weight, and the ground made a "dong dong" sound as she walked.

"Husband, give me a hand." She stretched out her hand.

Fang Jin almost couldn't catch the huge force, and his body tilted.

Their appearance attracted many people to look over.

Feeling their strange gazes, Fang Jin couldn't hold back his expression.

I knew that Wang Fujiao was not a good woman at all, but she was very clingy.

There's nothing I can do about it.

The most important thing was that his father-in-law, Landlord Wang, was very generous. After he became his disciple, he gave his teacher an inkstone on his behalf.

Chengyan, that is a tribute, a priceless treasure in the capital.

Just to help his father-in-law, he couldn't help but give Wang Fujiao face.

"Auntie!" Fang Nanzhi called out crisply.

Wang Fujiao looked over in the direction of the voice, frowned, and remembered that this was the daughter of the third son of the Fang family, whom she had met once.

Looking at that table again, first it was Fang Yin, then Xiong Zhuang, but unfortunately he was a fool.

When she saw Qin Yan, her eyes lit up.

Unfortunately, the other party was too young and a little weak, not her type.

Finally, he noticed Qian Fengping, and she raised her chin proudly.

"Are you Fang Tong's wife?" Wang Fujiao said arrogantly.

"Yeah." Qian Fengping's face was calm, but he was mentally prepared for her to find fault.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fujiao suddenly asked: "Do you have that kind of medicine?"

???

What medicine?

Before Qian Fengping could react.

Fang Nanzhi was excited.

"Aunt, I have it. How much do you want?!"

The reason why she greeted people so enthusiastically just now was because of this!

She secretly kept a few of the Shenbao Pills prescribed during this period, planning to find a buyer to sell them and save some pocket money.

"Ten!" Wang Fujiao glanced at Fang Jin and said reservedly.

After using it last time, Fang Jin had...

Three days later, he became weak again.

Fang Jin's face turned almost as black as charcoal, but he didn't stop it.

Wang Fujiao is such a troublesome woman. He is afraid that he won't be able to bear it if he doesn't take medicine.

"Okay, let's keep the same price as last time, a total of two hundred taels!" Fang Nanzhi narrowed his eyes happily.

This aunt is so generous, she likes it!

Ten pills cost two hundred taels, which was a sky-high price. The landlord's silly girl, Wang Fujiao, hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the effect of the medicine, she gritted her teeth and gave it to him.

Both parties pay the money and deliver the goods.

Qian Fengping was completely stunned. When she came to her senses, Fang Jin and his wife had already gone to the private room on the second floor.

Qian Fengping took her daughter and left.

"It's getting late, we should go back to the inn."

"Ah?" Fang Nanzhi was a little reluctant, as the storytelling had just begun.

But Qian Fengping dragged the person away, saying, "This silly kid just took the banknote. Everyone in the teahouse saw it."

What if there are bad guys?

Don’t show off your wealth!

Fang Yin followed, confused.

The three of them went straight back to the inn, entered the room and locked the door.

Qian Fengping finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked seriously, "Tell me, what is that medicine?"

Fang Nanzhi glanced at his confused father beside him and didn't say anything.
