Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 76 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 33

The next morning, Yuan Wei packed up early and followed Su Yuebai to Zhang's house, which was Lin Ruhai's uncle's house.

The moment they stepped into the Zhang family's gate, Yuan Wei immediately felt a unique atmosphere.

It is full of rich cultural atmosphere and elegant charm, as if every detail exudes the fragrance of books. It is indeed worthy of being a family of scholars!

Yuan Wei felt comfortable from the moment she entered the door.

Yuan Wei finally experienced the normal treatment of guests by ancient noble families.

What happened two days ago doesn’t count, that’s not normal, Yuan Wei complained in her heart.

The old lady of the Zhang family and the other wives were very close to Yuan Wei and asked her about her well-being.

Just when Yuan Wei was about to be overwhelmed, two girls from the Zhang family appeared.

They immediately saw Yuan Wei's awkward situation, so they cleverly diverted the topic elsewhere and quickly pulled Yuan Wei out of the room.

Yuan Wei followed them to a pavilion in the garden.

Here, they prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone, waiting for Yuan Wei to show her talent.

These two little girls actually wanted to write poetry with her.

Yuan Wei: “…”

Do you believe me when I say I can't?

Zhang Yuhua looked at Yuan Wei's face with an indescribable expression and gently pulled her sister Zhang Yuling's sleeve.

Zhang Yuling looked at Yuan Wei, then turned to look at her sister, and said, "Why don't we play a game of pitching pots?"

These are the women brought up by aristocratic families. They are always considerate of other people's feelings and will never put their guests in an awkward or difficult situation.

After hearing this, Yuan Wei smiled and nodded in agreement.

When the game of throwing pots officially started, the Zhang sisters were surprised to find that Yuan Wei was actually a hidden master.

Finally, they began to stand aside and cheer for Yuan Wei.

"Sister Wei, come on!"

"Wow, I hit it again, I hit it again, I actually hit them all!"

"Sister Wei, you are so awesome. Can you teach me?" Zhang Yuling's face flushed with excitement, her eyes flashing with admiration as she stared at Yuan Wei.

"Of course." Yuan Wei responded with a smile, and at the same time couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Zhang Yuling's round, red cheeks.

Oh, the beautiful sister touched her!

Zhang Yuling immediately held her face, which had just been pinched by Yuan Wei, with both hands. Her shy look made people feel fond of her.

From the moment she saw Yuan Wei, Zhang Yuling was deeply attracted by her beautiful appearance.

She is a face control.

Zhang Yuling suggested that everyone write a poem together, with the purpose of pleasing Yuan Wei and making her happy.

Because she thought that a woman like Yuan Wei must like reading and writing poetry, she came up with this idea to attract her attention.

Unfortunately, Yuan Wei doesn't like writing poetry, but prefers playing the game of throwing pots.

However, for Zhang Yuling, this was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

Because she also loves tossing pots very much, and her skills are quite good.

After a fierce pot-throwing competition, Zhang Yuling finally got close to Yuan Wei as she wished.

At this moment, Zhang Yuling has become an absolute little fan girl, full of admiration and respect for Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei walked out of the Zhang family's gate with a smile on her face, feeling particularly happy.

She couldn't help laughing out loud, attracting the attention of Su Yuebai next to her.

He asked curiously, "Why are you smiling so happily? Did something good happen to you?"

Yuan Wei turned to look at him, still smiling: "Yes, I'm really happy today! The Zhang family is very friendly and hospitable."

After hearing her words, Su Yuebai nodded slightly in agreement.

"As long as you are happy." After saying that, he looked at Yuan Wei again, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and concern.

In the following days, Yuan Wei did not go anywhere and stayed at home.

Accompanying Su Yuebai in reviewing his lessons, or discussing the cooking methods of various delicacies with Fan Shuang and Fan Xue, and occasionally studying the knowledge in medical books, his life was very fulfilling and interesting.

In this way, the days passed day by day.

It was soon time to enter the examination hall. Yuan Wei sent Su Yuebai out early that day and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Su Yuebai was going to take part in the imperial examination, his family had been very cautious and did not dare to make loud noises, for fear of disturbing his review and preparation for the exam.

Even when walking, he walked very quietly, for fear of making any noise.

It was not until Su Yuebai finished his exams that the house seemed to have been switched on and the laughter and joy of the past returned to its former state.

After Su Yuebai finished the exam, Yuan Wei did not ask him how he performed. She took his pulse herself and called a doctor to take his pulse to prevent any accidents. After confirming that he was in good physical condition, she prepared various medicinal foods for him to nourish his body.

It can be clearly seen that the imperial examinations during this period made Su Yuebai look much more haggard. The ancient imperial examination system was indeed very tiring.

The next step was to wait for the results to be announced. Su Yuebai was able to remain calm at first, but as time went by, he gradually became anxious.

Finally, the day came when the list was announced. Su Yuebai did not go out to see the posted list, but chose to stay at home with Yuan Wei, waiting for the news from Zhao Qing.

"Are you really not going to go and take a look?" Yuan Wei asked softly, looking at his anxious look.

"No, we'll know the result sooner or later anyway, so it's the same as waiting for news at home." Su Yuebai replied with a smile, trying his best to hide his inner uneasiness.

"After the imperial examination, did anyone invite you to attend the literary gathering?" Seeing that he was so nervous, Yuan Wei wanted to divert his attention, so she asked.

When Su Yuebai heard her ask this, he slightly shifted his mind away from the list and turned to look at her. "Yes, but I rejected them all. Those literary gatherings are of varying quality, and none are worth participating in."

He has no shortage of connections now.

The people Lin Ruhai gave him were all successful officials, and these connections were not something he could easily obtain now.

At this time, participating in literary gatherings also allows students to build their own personal connections.

You have to take the trouble to manage it yourself and also have to be patient in identifying their character.

This is a waste of time and energy, and may not necessarily bring any benefits.

So, instead of spending so much time making new connections, it is better to make good use of existing connections.

Once he actually passes the exam, people will naturally come forward to make friends with him.

"Did you meet your former classmates?" Yuan Wei asked curiously.

"No, only two of my classmates have passed the imperial examination, and neither of them plans to take the examination this year."

Su Yuebai shook his head and replied.

He understood the situation of his classmates and knew that they might need more preparation before taking the imperial examination.

After all, this was an exam that affected one's future and destiny, so no one dared to take it lightly. Coming to the capital also required money.

Su Yuebai had the guidance of Lin Ruhai, the third place winner, and he himself was extremely talented, so he naturally had the confidence to take part in the imperial examination.

"Master, Master, you got it, you got it."

Just then, Zhao Qing ran in shouting excitedly.

Su Yuebai's heart trembled, and he stood up suddenly, taking a few quick steps forward to greet him: "Did he really get hit?"

"Yes, fifth place."

Zhao Qing said excitedly, "I checked it twice, and even asked the person next to me to confirm it. It's absolutely correct."

Even the student standing by to help had a rather sour look on his face, and seemed to be a little jealous, as if he wanted to hit someone.

Zhao Qing muttered to himself: "Fortunately I ran fast, otherwise I would have been beaten up."

Su Yuebai turned around and held Yuan Wei's hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Wei'er, I won! I..."

He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. His eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

He finally lived up to everyone's expectations and did not let down the master's careful teaching and earnest expectations.

Yuan Wei gently patted the back of Su Yuebai's hand and comforted her softly: "I know, I know, I'm very happy."

She understood Su Yuebai's inner excitement and joy, and was excited with him.

But they didn't stay excited for too long, as they still had a lot of things to deal with.

They need to wait for someone to come forward with good news and give them a reward.

You should also announce the good news to your close relatives and convey the good news to them.

Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai were excited and busy throughout the day.

As night fell, Yuan Wei felt extremely tired and just wanted to have a good rest.

The initial excitement gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of fatigue.

But Su Yuebai was still immersed in excitement and couldn't fall asleep.

He was full of joy and wanted to continue sharing this happiness with Yuan Wei, but when he turned around, he found that Yuan Wei had already fallen asleep.

He smiled helplessly, gently embraced Yuan Wei in his arms, and fell into a sweet dream together.

That night, they slept soundly and peacefully, without any worries disturbing their sweet dreams.
