After dinner, Song Ziling and the others went back to their room and ate cake. After eating the sweet, soft, fragrant and smooth cake, both Lin Chen and Lin Buyu felt that Song Ziling could live with them. Very good.
It was late at night. After Shen Wan washed herself, she went to bed. As soon as she lay down, she heard the sound of wind and rain outside.
She couldn't help but frown, and began to worry about Shen Ming in the Gongyuan. If it rained, it would be very cold in the Gongyuan, and she didn't know if he would freeze. At such an important time, it started to rain. Come on, this is really unfavorable to God.
Gongyuan
Seeing that it was raining, many students were wailing in their hearts. The day was not warm to begin with, and when I answered the questions at night, my hands and feet were cold. Now that it is raining, the day is even more miserable.
The rain in spring is a steady drizzle. Although it is not heavy, it can linger for three to five days, and it is very cold when it rains.
Shen Ming stopped writing and was not going to answer the questions anymore. He had eaten porridge at noon and he hadn't eaten yet. He planned to cook some noodles and eat them to warm them up, so he had a good sleep and got up again tomorrow morning to answer the questions. Anyway, there was still time. .
The kettle was always hot on the stove. Shen Ming took the kettle off, put the small iron pot on it, added water to it, and when the water boiled, he threw a handful of noodles in it.
After the noodles were cooked, he added salt to the noodles, and without adding any soup to the bowl, he sat down in front of the table with the bowl in hand. He took out the jars containing beef and rabbit meat sauce, and scooped a spoonful of the same into the bowl. He was I have tried it at home and it tastes best when eaten dry and mixed with fried sauce.
After closing the lid, he mixed the noodles, and the meat was fragrant.
The people in the rooms opposite and on both sides moved their noses to smell where the fragrance came from.
The answer from the room opposite them naturally found out that it was coming from Shen Ming's room. Seeing him eating noodles, they were also hungry and had no intention of answering the questions. They all glared at Shen Ming and started to do it. food.
After eating the noodles, Shen Ming scooped some noodle soup to drink. After washing the pots and bowls, he briefly washed himself with hot water, and then fell asleep.
He covered himself with a fur cloak and put the quilt on top of the cloak. It would keep him warm while sleeping.
In the past two days, Shen Ming was taking exams, Song Ziling was studying, and Shen Wan was busy with her career. Inspired by fried sauce, Shen Wan decided to make a chili sauce. She had already thought of three flavors, beef chili oil , diced rabbit chili oil, diced chicken chili oil, can be mixed with noodles or served with rice.
To this end, she designed another jar and went to Sun Chun to order more than a thousand jars.
They have already decided on the recipe and ingredients, and are just waiting for Sun Chun's jar.
Shen Wan's Izumo Villa has been very lively these days. There are always people visiting. The simple purpose is to do business with Shen Wan and ask for her kimchi and vegetables. However, Shen Wan has never seen these people, so she just lets them know. Zhiqiu refused. She also said that if they did these two businesses with Andinghou, they would not do it with anyone else.
On February 14th, early in the morning, Shen Wan asked Wuyi to go to the Gongyuan'er gate to pick someone up in a carriage, because today was the day when Shen Ming would go home after taking the exam.
After Shen Ming returned home, Shen Wan didn't ask him how he did in the exam. He let him eat something first, and then asked Qiu Ju to prepare hot water for him to bathe.
He took the exam for three consecutive days and stayed in that small room for three days and three nights. He would be lying if he said he was not tired. After taking a shower, Shen Ming fell asleep directly and slept until the next morning. .
After resting at home for two days, he went out to meet his teacher, Mr. Yun.
The examination is not that fast. The results will be released on February 20th. Mr. Yun asked him to relax and finally finish the exam, so he would have fun for two days, because after the results were released, the imperial examination was waiting for him.
In Yun Yi's opinion, Shen Ming can definitely become a Jinshi.
February 17th was Song Ziyu's birthday. Shen Wan originally wanted to make her a cake and send it to the general's mansion. But she thought about it later and realized that Song Ziyu's girl would prefer Jin's cake to the cake she made. Silver jewelry.
So she took Qiu Ju and Shen Ming into the city. Shen Ming heard that she was going to buy a birthday gift for Song Ziyu, and said that as an uncle, he also had to prepare a birthday gift, so he happened to go pick it out with her.
After entering the city, the three of them went to the main street, which had the most jewelry and jade shops. The three of them looked at several shops but failed to take a fancy to them, so they entered another shop called Jin Yuxuan. As soon as they entered the shop , the two of them saw two acquaintances.
These two acquaintances were none other than Princess Liufang and Prince Yun.
"I have met the princess, young prince." Shen Ming raised his hands and saluted the two of them.
"Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen." Princess Liufang greeted the two of them.
Xuanyuan Liuyun hugged Shen Ming and Shen Wan and said, "What a coincidence!"
Shen Wan nodded and said, "It's indeed a coincidence."
"Princess is here to buy jewelry?" Shen Wan looked at Princess Liufang and asked.
Princess Liufang smiled and replied: "Next month is my concubine's birthday. My brother and I came to pick out birthday gifts for my concubine. We happened to meet Madam. Madam, can you come and help me take a look at it?"
Princess Liufang took a step forward and pulled Shen Wan towards the counter where many selected jewelry had been placed.
Shen Wan stretched her neck and looked at it. She picked up a peacock hairpin inlaid with rubies and said, "This hairpin is good. It matches the princess's temperament very well."
Princess Ren is the kind of woman who is very graceful and elegant. This hairpin looks very delicate and gorgeous.
Princess Liufang looked at it carefully, nodded, handed the hairpin to the shopkeeper and said, "That's it."
"Brother" she turned and called her brother.
Xuanyuan Liuyun stepped forward, looked at the shopkeeper and asked: "How much silver?"
"Three thousand taels."
Xuanyuan Liuyun didn't say anything, he took out three silver notes worth one thousand taels and handed them to the shopkeeper.
Shen Ming thought to himself that this rich man was different. He would buy a hairpin worth three thousand taels of silver without even blinking. He glanced at Princess Liufang again, and the light in his eyes dimmed. Even if he won the Jinshi, he would not even blink. Or if he wins the top prize, some people are beyond his imagination.
"Mrs. Shen, you are here to buy jewelry, right? You helped me choose it, and now I will help you choose it." Princess Liufang held Shen Wan's hand and said.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Tomorrow is Ziyu's thirteenth birthday. I'll pick out a birthday gift for her."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "There happens to be jewelry worn by a young lady upstairs."
Shen Wan: "Then go up and have a look."
The three of them followed the shopkeeper to the second floor. Shen Ming and Xuanyuan Liuyun walked upstairs slowly while talking.
"How is your sister's health lately?" Xuanyuan Liuyun asked.
Shen Ming didn't understand why this young prince started to ask about his sister's health when he was so good. Because her sister's body looked very good at first glance!
"Thank you for your concern, young prince. My sister has always been in good health."
Xuanyuan Liuyun opened his mouth, but hesitated. He originally wanted to tell Shen Ming first, after all, someone in their family must know first. But after thinking about it, he decided not to tell, what if he found it again?
On the second floor, Shen Wan, on the advice of Princess Liufang, chose a set of pearls for Song Ziyu.
