Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Liu Chen barely finished the test paper, took out the food prepared by He Shuzhen, and started to eat lunch.

The examiner who was passing by took a look at Liu Chen's test paper. His handwriting was sloppy and his answers were mediocre. He frowned, not understanding why Minister He deliberately asked him to take care of a student who was not very outstanding. Since there was no hope of him passing the exam, he shook his head and left.

After lunch, Liu Chen took a short break and continued to take the exam. The test questions were as difficult as usual. He bit the tip of the pen and thought for a long time before he started writing.

The examinations continued every day. The students taking the examinations ate, drank, defecated and urinated in this small world. Those with poor physical fitness collapsed before the end of the examination and were carried out by the guards in the examination room.

After persisting for so many days, Liu Chen has lost a lot of weight.

On the last day of the exam, He Shuzhen and the old lady arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall early. When the sun rose, the entrance to the hall was already crowded with people, so the two could only stand by the road and wait.

Soon, a bell rang in the sky above the Imperial Examination Hall, and the dark gate slowly opened. The first to come out were the guards. Rows of guards stood guard at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. The agitated crowd dared not make a sound for a moment, and looked at the gate eagerly.

Seeing familiar figures walking out of the entrance of Gongyuan in a depressed manner, the family members guarding the gate hurried forward and helped them go home to rest.

There were fewer and fewer people at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. He Shuzhen, who had been waiting for a long time but didn't see Liu Chen come out, began to get anxious. She stood at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall and kept looking around. After a while, Liu Chen's figure came into her sight.

When Liu Chen reached the gate, she ran forward to support him. She saw that his face was yellow, his eyes were dark blue, and he looked tired: "You have worked hard these days."

Liu Chen did not answer. He slowly got on the carriage and returned to the mansion. With the help of his aunt, he washed himself and fell asleep on the bed without even having time to eat.

He Shuzhen stayed in the kitchen and asked the cook to prepare ginseng chicken for Liu Chen to nourish his body. The ginseng was picked deep in the mountains and was very valuable. She only had two ginsengs in total, and she had originally planned to keep them for nourishing her body when she was pregnant. In order to become the envied wife of an official, she specially took out one for Liu Chen to nourish his body.

Liu Chen slept until the evening before waking up. He put on his clothes and went to the hall in high spirits.

He Shuzhen handed the cooked ginseng chicken soup to Liu Chen: "After so many consecutive exams, I have become thinner."

At this time, Liu Chen was already starving. He picked up the chicken soup and drank it in a few gulps. He felt much better.

He Shuzhen couldn't wait to ask, "How did you do in the exam?"

Liu Chen barely finished writing the questions on the test paper. He didn't do very well. He didn't dare to tell the truth at this time: "The results haven't come out yet, how can I know how I did?"

"That's right." He Shuzhen didn't ask any further questions and could only wait anxiously for the test results to come out.

......

He Shulan went to the kitchen and prepared the pastries that her grandfather loved.

The cook standing by looked at her master working there, a little at a loss: "Princess, tell me what kind of cake you want to make, and I will make it for you. You don't need to do it yourself."

"My grandfather only eats the hibiscus cake I make. He can tell whether a cake is made by me just by tasting it." The reason why my grandfather likes to eat the hibiscus cake made by He Shulan is that my grandmother taught her how to make it when she was still alive. My grandmother carefully taught her every step of the process, so the taste of the cake is very similar to that of her grandmother.

The cook didn't say anything and just stood aside silently.

He Shulan made the pastries and prepared to go to her grandfather's mansion. When she reached the gate, she met the prince who had returned from the palace.

The prince asked, "It's almost lunch time, where are you going?"

"I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time. I plan to go see him today, so I won't have dinner at the mansion." After saying that, He Shulan was about to leave, but was stopped by the prince. She asked, "Anything else?"

"I have never met your grandfather since we got married."

He Shulan's face was filled with horror. The prince who had always kept his distance from her actually took the initiative to ask her to go to her grandfather's house today: "That's my grandfather. If you don't want to go, no one is forcing you."

During this period, the prince had a great change in his opinion of He Shulan and was willing to stay with her: "We are married, your grandfather is also my grandfather, you should go and see him."

He Shulan didn't want the prince to go with her, but since he had already spoken, she couldn't refuse: "Since you want to go, then go!"

The two of them got in a carriage and came to their grandfather's house.

When the grandfather, uncle, and aunt received the news and knew that He Shulan was coming, the three of them were waiting at the gate of the mansion early. They watched with smiles on their faces as He Shulan got off the carriage and saw the Prince behind him.

The smiles on my grandfather and uncle's faces froze in an instant, and they completely forgot that He Shulan had already married into the Prince's Mansion.

Only Bai Fei's smile became wider. These days, she had been telling He Shulan's uncle and grandfather that the prince was good to He Shulan, but the two of them just didn't believe it. They were worried and sad every day in the mansion, worried that He Shulan was being wronged in the prince's mansion. Now that He Shulan and the prince came together, they should believe what she said.

She stepped forward and hugged He Shulan's arm: "Why did the prince follow you?"

He Shulan was helpless. She didn't know what the prince was like, but he insisted on following her to her grandfather's house. "My grandfather has never met the prince since I got married to him, so he brought him here today."

"Then you're going to tell us in advance?"

He Shulan met the prince only after she set out: "The message was misdelivered."

A group of people walked into the mansion.

He Shulan and Bai Fei went to the garden.

The princess, her grandfather, and her uncle sat in the pavilion, staring at each other in an awkward atmosphere. The princess felt pressure for the first time, and she swallowed unconsciously: "I came here in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare gifts. I brought two bottles of daughter's red wine that I have stored for 20 years. Let's drink a glass together during the meal."

When Uncle Tao Ran heard the word "Nü'erhong", his eyes lit up and his attitude towards the prince improved a lot: "You are thoughtful. Nü'erhong that is 20 years old is not easy to buy. Where did you get it from?"

"It was given to me by a friend. I don't really like drinking, so I brought it here."

Tao Ran fondly touched the two bottles of wine on the table and said, "I'm in for a treat now."

Grandfather Tao Zheng, who was sitting next to him, slapped Tao Ran on the head and said, "Look at your useless appearance. I bought you off with two bottles of wine."

"This is not an ordinary wine. It is a twenty-year-old girl's red wine. It is rarely available on the market. Only when the daughters of the mansion get married can they drink this kind of wine at the wedding banquet."

Tao Zheng glared at Tao Ran in frustration: "Which is more important, wine or Shulan?"
