Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

The next day, Cuizhuxuan

A ray of sunlight shone through the bed curtains onto Liu Yanyan's face. She raised her slender hands to cover her eyes, turned over and continued to sleep. The sunlight fell on her body, forming a lazy picture of beauty.

It was not until noon that Yuzhu saw the young lady get up. She looked at the door and saw that the young lady was sleeping soundly. She was happy for her and did not go in to disturb her. She sat at the door, carefully embroidering the handkerchief with needle and thread.

Yuzhen chuckled beside her, "Sister Yuzhu, you are really clever and skillful! No wonder the young lady likes you so much! Look at this winter plum embroidery, it is so lifelike."

Yuzhu raised her hand and waved, saying softly, "Don't tease me. I can only do some simple embroidery."

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the room. Yuzhu put down her needle and thread and walked in.

Liu Yanyan opened the bed curtains, her whole body exuding a sense of laziness. "It's the first time in such a long time that I've slept so well. Help me up. I need to wash up. Shuhui will be here soon."

Yuzhu heard this and quickly responded. She brought a set of red clothes and a set of blue clothes and said, "Miss, which one do you want to wear today?"

Liu Yanyan raised her hand and pointed at the blue dress, saying, "Let's go with this one! The red one is too flashy, and it didn't look good with He Li just now. I haven't had a good chat with Shu Hui for a long time."

Liu Yanyan was wearing a blue gradient dress and a skirt of the same color, with white auspicious clouds on it that kept changing unpredictably, as if a piece of the sky had been cut out and worn on her body.

Liu Yanyan turned around, nodded with satisfaction and said to Yuzhu, "Keep your hair simple, wear a blue velvet flower, and match it with a pearl hairpin and a white jade hairpin."

Yuzhu picked up the hair accessories one by one and placed them on the table. She took the hairpin Liu Yanyan had specified and put it on her. She carefully combed her hair, half-tied it up, leaving a few strands of hair hanging down at the back, and said, "Miss, you are so beautiful."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were slightly warm, and she smiled lightly, "You are the only one who speaks sweet words. Let's go out and wait in the main courtyard. Shuhui should be here soon."

Seiin

When Liu Yanyan arrived at the main courtyard, Yuzhen came to report, "Miss, Miss Wang is here, right? Please ask her to come in."

Liu Yanyan raised her hands to cover her face and smiled, "Please invite her in. We haven't had a good chat for a long time."

Yuzhen came in with Wang Shuhui.

Wang Shuhui smiled cheerfully and said, "Yanyan, you finally came out of it! You look so radiant! You are so stunningly beautiful! If Gu Beichen saw this, he would regret it so much that his intestines would turn green."

Liu Yanyan smiled softly, looking at Wang Shuhui in her official uniform, she looked very majestic, her eyes were full of envy, and she couldn't help but say, "Of course he got out, I don't care if he regrets it or not." She just wanted him to die. "You look very majestic in this official uniform! It's really beautiful."

Wang Shuhui raised her eyes and looked at Yanyan, her eyes full of pity, "What are you envious of! You are the county lord now, and your formal attire will be delivered in a few days. Who knows how beautiful you will look in it."

The surprise in Liu Yanyan's eyes flashed away, and she looked at Wang Shuhui and said, "How do you know this? I'm the county lord. Didn't anyone tell you?" She waved her hand to signal Yuzhu to serve tea.

Yuzhu brought the hot tea and gently placed it on the table.

Wang Shuhui took the teacup, took a sip and said, "How could no one know? This kind of thing is not kept secret. It has been spreading everywhere since the decree was issued. It's great that you became a county lord after the divorce! But the county town over there is too remote, it's difficult for you to go over and take a look."

Liu Yanyan covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, then nodded and said, "It was His Majesty who rewarded me for my contribution to disaster relief, so I got the title of county lord. You are really amazing, you became an official on your own. Isn't this small test very difficult?"

Wang Shuhui shook her head and said, "There is no such thing as a minor exam. We take the exam together with men, and only those who pass the exam can become officials. It's just that there are fewer women taking the exam, so it's called a minor exam."

Liu Yanyan nodded as if she understood, and said regretfully, "There are very few women who are proficient in writing, and most of them are from wealthy families. How many families like this are willing to let their daughters study and show their faces in public."

Wang Shuhui stared at Liu Yanyan with a sharp gaze and said, "Yanyan, you can do it! Have you forgotten that you were a famous talented woman in the past? The Spring Examination will be held in a month. You are the county lady, so you can take the exam yourself."

Liu Yanyan looked at her hands, picking up old memories, with a hint of loss in her eyes. "Can I do this? I haven't learned for a long time."

Wang Shuhui encouraged him, "Go and take the exam. You won't lose anything. You are still the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion! So many people fail the exam. What are you afraid of? The Duke loves you so much, he will definitely agree."

Liu Yanyan was silent for a long time, thinking about Gu Beichen's cold-bloodedness towards her, Lin Rou's viciousness, and the old lady's vicious face, she felt very uncomfortable. She was a county lord without real power, and she couldn't do anything. What if she passed the exam? It would be different if she passed the exam. Thinking of this, she clenched her fists.

Wang Shuhui said with a worried look on her face, "Yanyan, don't let your mind wander and don't feel pressured. I just want you to try. If you pass the exam and have something to do, you will quickly forget about the past."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were full of hatred, and she forced a smile on her face, "I will take the exam. I have no nostalgia for the past, only hatred." I will climb up step by step, let them all be stepped under my feet, and crushed to death bit by bit.

Wang Shuhui patted Liu Yanyan's delicate hands and comforted her, "I know, Yanyan, such a decisive person, how could she linger on a scumbag like Gu Beichen! This is the Yanyan I know." Yanyan's hands were thin, and they felt like bones when touched.

At this time, Yuzhen came with a few maids, carrying food and drinks, and soon set the table.

Liu Yanyan said, "I will convince my father to let me take the entrance exam. Let's eat first! We haven't eaten together for a long time."

Wang Shuhui smiled and said, "I am so lucky today. These ingredients look like the best!"

Liu Yanyan raised her hand to cover her face and drank a glass of wine, saying, "Shuhui, please have your meal! Try the cooking skills of the chef in the mansion and see if it suits your taste."

Wang Shuhui picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of crystal clear braised pork, tasted it and said, "It's delicious. The chef's cooking skills are excellent. You can tell he is a famous chef just by looking at his cooking skills."

Liu Yanyan also took a bite and nodded, saying, "This is a retired chef from Zhuangyuanlou. His cooking skills are quite good. This wine is also good. You should try it."

Wang Shuhui said with a satisfied look on her face, "You are so blessed that you don't know how to appreciate it. The chefs in Zhuangyuanlou are very rare. The top chefs in Zhuangyuanlou only cook one table of dishes every ten days. There are so many people waiting in line."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "It's not that exaggerated! If it tastes good, just eat more. This is not a top chef, and a top chef wouldn't come to a small Duke's Mansion."

Wang Shuhui nodded as she ate, secretly sighing that the food tasted very good, and started eating by herself.

Liu Yanyan didn't say anything extra. She was very hungry and didn't stop until she was 8% full.

Yuzhen and a few others cleaned up the table.

Yuzhu brought some tea, placed it on the table, and asked the two to rinse their mouths. After that, she took the copper basin and left.

Liu Yanyan gently wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Wang Shuhui who was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, and said, "Shuhui, you have changed a lot! Every movement is clean and neat."

Wang Shuhui didn't care much and said with a smile, "There are too many things to deal with and I don't have much time. I was a little impolite."

Liu Yanyan waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, Shuhui, you are very good like this, I envy you very much, I can't describe how I feel about you."
