The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Time flies, and days pass by. Zhao Yunchuan would go out for a walk with Fang Huai every day to change their minds. The students in the restaurant and inn no longer discussed aloud. Each of them locked themselves in the room and recited aloud.

Fang Huai looked surprised.

"Why don't they argue?"

I still remember the first time I went shopping in the capital, those students were arguing with each other, and if they hadn’t taken their status as scholars into consideration, they might have even fought.

"I guess I don't have the time or the inclination!"

Fang Huai smiled: "Then my husband, are you nervous?"

Zhao Yunchuan shook his head. He was not nervous.

At this moment, Zhao Yunchuan was extremely grateful that he had received an exam-oriented education in modern times. What was the most important thing about exam-oriented education? Of course, it was the most exams!

Weekly, monthly and final exams!

Middle school entrance exam, college entrance exam, level 4 and level 6!

Anyway, he has taken countless exams since he was a child.

In the beginning, I was indeed nervous, but as time went on, I realized that it was just like that.

No matter how nervous he was, he could know what he was supposed to know, and he couldn't know what he wasn't supposed to know no matter how hard he tried. Being nervous would even cause him to perform poorly, so slowly, he stopped being nervous.

"My husband is not nervous, and I am not nervous either."

He believes that his husband can do it!

The two walked for a while and saw a large open-air counter. It was surrounded by people and was very lively.

“Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it, don’t miss it if you pass by!!!

Come on, come on!!!

Big odds!

I'll make you win enough money for your wife this time!"

Zhao Yunchuan frowned when he heard this. Just gamble, and gamble on the street? Isn't this a bit unkind?

What if a child from a good family is also dragged into this trouble?

Zhao Yunchuan stopped and looked towards the large terrace, but all he saw was a sea of ​​heads.

Uh……

For some reason I thought of the scene of traveling during the National Day holiday, and I felt like I was suffering from trypophobia.

Fang Huai nervously tugged at Zhao Yunchuan's sleeve: "Husband, let's go."

They are children from good families and have always avoided things like gambling. Their husbands are so innocent, what if... they are seduced?

He is afraid!

Zhao Yunchuan patted the back of his hand comfortingly, smiled, and assured him: "I don't gamble."

For a person who is under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, pornography, gambling and drugs are public enemies, and he will not touch any of them!

"I'm just looking around. I've never seen an open-air gambling house. I'm curious!"

Fang Huai didn't say anything else, but just nervously pulled his sleeve, as if he wanted to grab him.

The people inside were still talking.

"We have ten popular candidates this time, Yuan Zhensheng from Dayi County, Zhao Chunlin from Qinghe County, Liu Dongxu from Wuyi County... and the last one is Zhao Yunchuan from Qingniu Town."

Zhao Yunchuan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he was really involved in this.

"Buy it and let's see which candidate will get the top spot."

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

"I want to buy Zhao Chunlin!"

"Why buy Zhao Chunlin? Buy Liu Dongxu. He is the son of Master Liu of Qinghui Academy. You know Master Liu, he is a juren scholar. His son must be good at studying."

"Yes, Liu Dongxu is only fifteen years old this year."

"I heard that he also took the exam two years ago."

“Didn’t pass the exam?”

"I passed the county exam, but when I took the provincial exam, I injured my hand and couldn't even hold the pen, so I didn't go."

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Everyone sighed and lamented.

Zhao Yunchuan listened to their conversation silently and felt it was a pity. It was like a top student breaking his hand during the college entrance examination and having to wait another year.

If it’s not a pity, what is?

Zhao Yunchuan had heard enough gossip, so he took Fang Huai's hand and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Fang Huai was unwilling to leave: "Let's go inside and take a look."

The two men pushed through the crowd and went inside, and saw the big gambling table with ten wooden cards on it. Each card occupied a grid with a person's name engraved on it. Zhao Yunchuan's name was in the last grid.

There are also banknotes, silver, copper coins and the like in the grids, which are the money for everyone to bet.

Liu Dongxu has the most money, and he really looks like a talented young boy.

Zhao Yunchuan had the least, with only a few copper coins in it. It was obvious that everyone didn't think highly of him.

Another middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to Zhao Yunchuan's grid. He had a silver note in his hand. When he was about to put it down, he picked it up again, and repeated it several times, looking very conflicted.

Zhao Yunchuan was a little curious, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to buy it or not?"

“I want to buy it but I don’t dare to buy it!”

"Why?"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Yunchuan once, then looked at him again, and then looked again. Fang Huai's face turned extremely dark. He made up his mind that if he looked at him again, he would definitely skin the other person alive.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man didn’t look at it again.

Because after taking three glances, he found that Zhao Yunchuan was a man, not a boy, and he had no interest in men.

However, everyone loves beauty, so he was very happy to answer Zhao Yunchuan's questions.

"Look, no one is buying this student named Zhao Yunchuan. If he becomes an unexpected success, won't I make a fortune?!"

It is indeed true. It is not just making a fortune, but you can make many times more.

"But...he really isn't famous. If I lose, wouldn't all my money be wasted?"

You know what, there is some truth to it. It is indeed the fact.

Zhao Yunchuan gave him some advice: "This is simple. You can pay a sum of money within your acceptable range. If you win, it will be a pleasant surprise. If you lose... just a small amount of money, just a little bit."

"You do have a point, but I'm a very stingy person. I don't want to waste even a penny."

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

Then he is out of options. He wants to make a small investment for a big return without taking the corresponding risks. There is no such good thing in the world.

No!

Zhao Yunchuan ignored the tangled middle-aged man, turned his head to look at Huai Ge'er, and asked with a smile: "Who do you want to buy?"

Fang Huai couldn't help but glared at him and said unhappily, "I want to buy Liu Dongxu!"

"No, you can only buy me, your husband!"

Although Zhao Yunchuan cannot guarantee that he will get the first place, he can still compete for it with his ability.

Others are indeed excellent, but he is not bad either, okay?

Fang Huai originally wanted to buy Zhao Yunchuan, but this guy just liked to tease him, so he just teased him back, but he didn't expect that he was so immune to teasing.

You know what, that frightened little look is quite cute.

Fang Huai paid one tael of silver to bet on Zhao Yunchuan's victory. After hesitating for a moment, he asked for another one tael of silver, and then two taels of silver. This was the greatest sincerity he could show.

No more!

Absolutely not!

Zhao Yunchuan was so moved that he didn't expect Huai Ge'er to actually pay two taels of silver to bet on him to win. That was a full two taels of silver, and Huai Ge'er was reluctant to spend two taels even on himself.

"Brother Huai, you are so kind to me. I must serve you well tonight."

The corner of Fang Huai's mouth twitched. Is it really not necessary?

It's about serving him, well, it is indeed serving him, but he is not the only one who enjoys it.

cough cough...

What should I do if I have some yellow thoughts in my mind?

Soon, it was the day of the exam. The provincial exam lasted for three days. During these three days, the candidates had to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep in the exam. However, the Imperial Examination Hall did not provide food and accommodation. They would only provide the candidates with a small dormitory, nothing else.

Candidates have to prepare their own food, drinks and bedding.

But... they clearly paid the registration fee. I have to say, these conditions are too shabby.

In fact, this is not the worst. If you are assigned to a cell next to a toilet, that would be worse than death.

You will be poisoned by the smell for three days in a row.

You can imagine how it feels.

Fang Huai sent the person to the Imperial Examination Hall and handed a large basket full of gifts to Zhao Yunchuan.

"There are some steamed buns, snacks, and dried meat in it. Oh, and there is also chicken mushroom sauce. You can eat the steamed buns first. Steamed buns can't be kept that long. You have to eat the dried meat slowly. If you eat too much, you will get a sore throat."

Zhao Yunchuan smiled and said yes, pinching his nose: "Little housekeeper."

"Don't make trouble, there are people watching us."

Duan Qiuming and Mrs. Duan looked at each other, and Mrs. Duan said with great insight: "We are old, and our eyesight is not very good. We really didn't see anything."

Today is the provincial examination, which is a big day for the Duan family. The whole family rushed to the provincial city yesterday just to send Duan to study for the exam today.

I also hope that this child can strive for more and really achieve the title of Tongsheng this time.

By then, when there is a scholar in their family, they will no longer be ridiculed as a merchant family that is full of money.

The two of them gave Duan Wenshu many instructions, telling him not to be nervous, to remember to cover himself with a blanket when sleeping, and not to eat too much.

Zhao Yunchuan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but at the same time he felt a little envious, as he had never had such a warm parent-child moment.

Duan Wenshu listened impatiently: "I'm not a three-year-old child. I can take care of myself. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go in first."

He pulled Zhao Yunchuan's sleeve and left.

If you keep nagging like this, his ears will get calluses.

The process this time was the same as last time, and the way of inspecting food did not change at all. All the steamed buns and snacks were broken into small pieces for inspection, until they were almost broken into crumbs.

Zhao Yunchuan bit his lip. He really had no appetite for food that had been inspected with bare hands.

But... the exam lasts for three days. If I don’t eat, I’ll starve to death, right?

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

He really didn't want to take this crappy test at all, it was too annoying.

I can’t live well, I can’t eat well, and I have to use up so many brain cells to answer questions. It’s really too miserable.

Before entering the gate of the Tribute Hall, Zhao Yunchuan looked back at Fang Huai. Sure enough, his brother Huai was also looking at him reluctantly.

I also made a cheering gesture to him!

Zhao Yunchuan instantly felt like he had been injected with chicken blood, full of motivation, and he felt that he was able to do it again.

"Hey, look at that young man, he's so handsome, how come I haven't seen him before? Do you know who he is?"

"I haven't seen him, and I don't know if he's married?"

“He’s still a scholar!”

Many people in the crowd were tempted. Nowadays, scholars are already looked up to, let alone good-looking scholars.

Especially for business families, they really like to find scholars. For them, this is equivalent to investing in potential stocks. The investment is small, the return is big, and who knows, they may soar to the sky one day.

"I know him, very well!"

This is Fang Huai's voice. If you listen carefully, you can hear his voice trembling slightly.

"You know him?"

Fang Huai nodded firmly: "Yes, I know him. I only know his name, where he lives, how many people are in his family, and even his dog. I am very familiar with it."

"Are you his neighbor?"

Fang Huai smiled but said nothing, but in everyone's opinion, this was his consent.

Someone immediately asked, "What's his family situation like? Is he married?"

Fang Huai nodded: "They are married. He and his husband have a very good relationship. Many people in our place envy them."

Getting married!

The smiles on everyone's faces grew wider.

Hey!

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. His name is Zhao Yunchuan. He is from Tianzao Village, Qingniu Town. They got married on April 28 last year. They have two dogs at home. One is named Yellow Apple and the other is named Blackcurrant."

Everyone now believed it completely.

Once they get married, there’s no hope for them.

"Wait, do you think the name Zhao Yunchuan sounds familiar?"

"It sounds familiar."

"I remember now. His name was listed in Ruyi Casino this year. I heard that he was the first in the county examination in some county?"

"He's so amazing, so he will definitely pass the exam this year."

"I can definitely do that!"

It was a drizzling spring day, and it began to drizzle on the first day of the exam. Everyone was wearing thin clothes and shivering with cold. Zhao Yunchuan was also a little cold. He wrapped himself in the quilt and continued to sit and answer the questions.

The patrolling officers were shocked to see him like this. How could he be like this?!

Aren't scholars very concerned about their image? They require that they sit and stand properly.

When will it be like this again?

Seeing their dumbfounded looks, Zhao Yunchuan just smiled at them and continued answering the questions.

The police officers came in batches one after another. They seemed to want to say something but finally shut their mouths.

What? Is this against the rules?

But no one said that this couldn't be done.

Finally, some adults who were invigilating the exam came over. Zhao Yunchuan’s main point was equality. He grinned at them again, then lowered his head to answer the questions.

Proctor: ...

Will they stop him from doing this or not?

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided not to stop him. He didn't do anything taboo in the exam. He just wanted to be warmer.

It’s no wonder that Zhao Yunchuan’s method really works. When everyone was having a runny nose and sneezing, he was still wrapped in a quilt, his little face was rosy, and he looked very energetic.

By night, a large number of people in the Imperial Examination Hall fell ill, and two of them even developed high fevers.

The invigilator urgently asked someone to boil ginger soup and distribute it to each candidate.
