Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Xiaoman secretly rubbed his knee which was a little painful from being bitten, and then looked at Yang Shuhuai who was standing next to him. Oh, how envious he was of the fact that he could meet officials without having to kneel.

Fortunately, she was not made to kneel for too long, and the case was soon heard in court.

This matter is actually very simple. There is definitely no problem with Zheng Xiaoman and her friends’ vermicelli.

And those few people who ate vermicelli were indeed real.

And the problem lies with Mr. Xia’s transportation.

When he was returning after buying the vermicelli, he encountered heavy rain on the way. The vermicelli was not stored properly and became damp from the rain.

After he returned home, he did not dry the vermicelli in time, which caused it to become moldy in the humid environment.

A customer bought the moldy vermicelli, and after eating it, he vomited and had diarrhea.

After listening to the statements of both sides, the judge asked both parties to take out their vermicelli and place them in the court.

After careful inspection, it was found that Mr. Xia's vermicelli felt a little damp to the touch, and there were green mold spots on it.

But if people don't look carefully, they will easily overlook it.

The vermicelli in Zheng Xiaoman’s store is very clean, dry to the touch, and has no signs of mold.

The fact is obvious. It was Mr. Xia's own improper storage that caused others to be poisoned by eating moldy vermicelli.

Without finding out the cause of the incident, he ran to someone else's shop and made a scene, and even injured someone. In the end, he was beaten with five boards.

Because Yang Shuhuai's back was bruised by the cup he had smashed, Master Xia was ordered to pay him ten taels of silver.

Mr. Xia lost his wife and his soldiers, and after receiving the fine and paying compensation, he fled in disgrace.

The matter was resolved, and Yang Shuhuai and Zheng Xiaoman left the yamen and walked back together.

"Brother Shuhuai, why are you here suddenly? I thought you went back directly after taking the provincial examination."

Yang Shuhuai had a faint smile on his face. "I originally planned to go back directly, but a friend who took the exam with me fell ill. His home is in the city, so I sent him back first."

Zheng Xiaoman nodded in astonishment, then suddenly blinked and looked at him, "Brother Shuhuai, have you passed the provincial examination?"

If he passes the provincial examination, he will become a juren.

Yang Shuhuai's smile was still very faint. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have passed the provincial examination."

Zheng Xiaoman looked at him with sparkling eyes, his admiration evident in his words.

The ancient imperial examination can be said to be a single-plank bridge among thousands of people.

She remembered the story of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination, which she had learned about in school. Fan Jin went crazy with excitement after learning that he had passed the imperial examination.

From this we can see how difficult it was to pass the imperial examination in ancient times.

After all, with the status of a juren, one would have the opportunity to be appointed an official by the imperial court.

Once you become an official, no matter how low the position is, you are on the path to a career in politics.

"Wow, then you are a juren now, aren't you? Haha, Uncle Yang and Aunt Li will definitely be very happy this time.

So are you going to continue to take the exam?"

Yang Shuhuai looked at the girl's bright eyes, and the arc of his mouth widened a little, "For the time being, I have no plans to participate in the examination."

Zheng Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "Did the results of the provincial examination not turn out well?"

Yang Shuhuai shook his head, "No, I still ranked first in the provincial examination."

Zheng Xiaoman exclaimed in amazement. Isn't this equivalent to the provincial champion in the future? She didn't expect that the top student was right next to her.

"But, since you did so well in the provincial examination, you should have no problem taking the metropolitan examination. Why don't you continue taking the exam?"

Yang Shuhuai's eyes became a little distant, "I have no intention of becoming an official, so I probably won't continue to take the exam next time."

Zheng Xiaoman was even more confused. Wasn't the ultimate goal of ancient scholars to study to become an official?

How come there is a top student who doesn’t want to be an official?

But after all, this was someone else's private matter, and Zheng Xiaoman was curious and didn't continue to ask.

Yang Shuhuai also changed the subject, "It's almost noon, I'll treat you to dinner."

Zheng Xiaoman did not refuse, "Okay, but I should treat you. Just think of it as a celebration for you passing the imperial examination."

"Hehehe" Yang Shuhuai laughed softly, "Okay, then thank you, Sister Xiaoman."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they went to a restaurant not far away. The waiter saw them come in and greeted them with a smile.

"My two guests, what would you like to eat?"

Zheng Xiaoman asked Yang Shuhuai, "Brother Shuhuai, what do you want to eat?"

Yang Shuhuai shook his head, "I can do anything."

Zheng Xiaoman said to the waiter, "Bring up a few of your signature dishes."

"Okay, sir. I'll serve you four of our signature dishes first."

Only after seeing Zheng Xiaoman nodded in agreement did the waiter turn around and leave.

The restaurant cooked the food very quickly and the four dishes were served quickly.

The four dishes include Sichuan pepper chicken, golden mandarin fish, seafood hotpot, and a dish of marinated lamb.

Zheng Xiaoman picked up a piece of mutton and tasted it. Hmm, the smell was not very strong, the mutton was tender and tasted very good.

She tried a few other dishes and they were all delicious. The chef's cooking skills were still very good.

Of course, it's still slightly worse than what she did.

Yang Shuhuai shared the same feeling, the dish was not as delicious as Xiaoman’s.

The two of them didn't have much to say, so they just lowered their heads to eat, occasionally exchanging a few words.

When the meal was almost finished, Yang Shuhuai said, "Xiaoman, please sit down for a while. I'll leave for a while."

Zheng Xiaoman nodded while holding the bowl of soup, "Yeah, okay."

She thought Yang Shuhuai must have gone to the toilet, but he just didn't have the courage to tell her.

After Yang Shuhuai left, she filled a bowl of seafood soup and drank it in small sips.

"Hey, whose girl is this? She looks unfamiliar."

Suddenly a greasy voice sounded from the side, and Zheng Xiaoman looked up.

When she raised her head, the eyes of the man who had just spoken brightened again.

This girl is so pretty. Why didn’t he notice that there was such a girl in the city before?

Zheng Xiaoman frowned and looked at the man standing not far from her, who was wearing a flashy silver-white brocade.

This man has a slicked-back hair and powdered face, and looks like a dandy young man.

Especially those eyes that looked her up and down as if they were looking at an object.

Zheng Xiaoman felt disgusted, wondering where this scoundrel came from. She withdrew her gaze and stopped looking in that direction.

The young man seemed not to notice her disgust and walked straight towards her.

The man stood beside her and bowed to her in a proper manner. "Are you alone, young lady? I wonder which family you are from and why I haven't seen you before?"

When he lowered his head, his body leaned towards Zheng Xiaoman.

Zheng Xiaoman didn't expect this man to be so bold and dare to do this in broad daylight. He stood up from his seat in shock.

She took a few steps back and put some distance between herself and the other person.

Then he angrily said, "Sir, please respect yourself."

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, she looks even better when she's angry."

If Zheng Xiaoman knew what he was thinking, he would definitely call him a pervert.
