Chapter 177 County Examination
In the early morning, the sky is bright.
The little girl got up early. Taking advantage of the dim morning light, the little girl opened the millet bag, and the sound of "rustling" rice grains hitting the porcelain bowl came out.
Add the red dates, lotus seeds and other things that have been prepared to the millet.
Add some cold water to the pot.
After everything was done, the little girl lit the kindling on the stove with a fire stick.
Small fiery red flames danced on the kindling, and the little girl quickly fetched dry firewood and covered it with the kindling.
The flames jumped on the dry wood, and the little girl leaned down and blew gently.
The dry firewood soon "crackled" and burned.
At this time, the little girl pulled the bellows.
The firewood burns and transfers heat to the iron pot.
The sound of "gulu gulu" came, and the millet porridge in the pot made a boiling sound.
As the sun rises, billows of smoke roll up from the kitchen chimney.
The little girl also steamed the cakes prepared yesterday in the steamer again.
After doing all this, the little girl wiped her forehead.
He raised his head and saw Huang Tinghui standing in front of him.
"Husband, husband!"
"Go and wash up quickly, there's still time!"
"Eat some millet porridge before taking the exam!"
The little girl's eyes were as bright as stars, and she smiled and said to Huang Tinghui.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to get up so early?"
"There are many breakfast vendors on the street. Husband, you can just eat whatever you want!"
Huang Tinghui walked up to the little girl. He stretched out his hand and gently lifted up the little girl's hair.
The movement was extremely gentle.
"How can breakfast on the street be as good as breakfast at home?"
"Husband, you can't just eat food from the street!"
"Besides, let's talk!" The little girl smelled Huang Tinghui's body fragrance, and she said awkwardly: "Besides, Lian'er likes to cook for her husband!"
"Lian'er likes to see her husband eating Lian'er's cooking!"
The little girl smiled and said to Huang Tinghui.
"Silly girl!" Huang Tinghui held Wu Feilian in his arms. Feeling the little girl's soft body, Huang Tinghui said slowly, "A lifetime is so long. Lian'er will be able to cook for her husband for a long, long time.
Woolen cloth!"
Huang Tinghui smiled and said to Wu Feilian.
Feeling Huang Tinghui's body temperature, the little girl has an indescribable nostalgia and indescribable love for him.
But at this moment, she thought of the millet porridge in the pot, "Husband, husband..."
"The millet porridge in the pot is broken..."
After the words fell, the little girl hurriedly ran towards the stove.
After opening the lid of the pot, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"call!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just right!" The little girl patted her chest and said to herself.
Putting the porcelain bowl aside, the little girl took out the millet porridge and put it into the porcelain bowl.
Just as he was about to reach out and bring the porcelain bowl filled with millet porridge to the dining table, a pair of big hands took the lead.
"Silly girl!"
"It's very hot!" Huang Tinghui said dotingly. He found a piece of cloth to insulate the heat and put the millet porridge on the table.
"Husband, try it!"
"Try it!" the little girl said to Huang Tinghui expectantly.
Huang Tinghui scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge, blew it gently, and then put it into his mouth, "Well, my wife is really good at craftsmanship!"
Huang Tinghui ate millet porridge and praised the little girl.
Listening to Huang Tinghui's praise, the little girl's smile turned into a crescent moon.
"Lian'er learned it from Sister Qiuniang. She said that Brother Lu drank this kind of porridge when he participated in the imperial examination!"
"This porridge is auspicious. Any scholar who drinks this porridge will do well in the exam!"
The little girl said to Huang Tinghui seriously.
Is there any other way to say this?
Just lie to the little girl!
Huang Tinghui thought very straight in his heart. Although he thought so, he could not dampen the enthusiasm of the little girl.
"Lian'er, why don't you drink porridge?" Huang Tinghui said to the little girl.
"My husband went to take the exam, so Lian'er drank it!"
Huang Tinghui nodded when he heard this. He rubbed the little girl's head, and then drank all the millet porridge in the bowl in one go.
It's getting late now, so I have to go to the county exam earlier.
If you are late and cannot take the county exam in the end.
That would be ridiculous!
And if his mentor Li Baichong knew about it, he might just blast him out.
As Fang was thinking this, Uncle Erzhu ran over from outside, "Brother Hui, Brother Hui, Mr. Lu's carriage is here!"
"Let's go quickly!"
"Don't be late. The county master hates late scholars."
"If you are late, you may not be eligible to participate in the county examination!" Uncle Erzhu said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll come right away!" Huang Tinghui promised.
"Husband, wait a minute!" The little girl hurriedly grabbed the steamed buns and put the buns into the snack box.
"Husband, remember to eat when you are hungry!"
"Lian'er has inquired. You can enter the examination room after the food box inspection!" the little girl said carefully.
In the prosperous dynasty, the imperial examination was not like the college entrance examination in later generations.
It is common to stay in the examination room for several days.
Therefore, food and other items can be brought into the examination room.
However, it is also necessary to check at all levels when brought into the examination room, but the degree of strictness is different.
"Don't worry!" Huang Tinghui took the food box handed over by the little girl. He took the little girl's hand and walked out the door.
Opening the door, a carriage appeared outside.
"Master Huang!" the coachman called to Huang Tinghui.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Chen Qiuniang poked her head out, "After waiting for so long, are you doing embroidery?"
After saying this, Chen Qiuniang looked at the little girl and said, "Look at your husband, he looks so leisurely and at ease!"
"How would people who didn't know better think that he was going to take part in the imperial examination?"
"They are probably thinking that your husband is going on a picnic!"
Chen Qiuniang's mouth was still as vicious as ever. Even Huang Tinghui touched his nose and could not refute.
"no!"
"My husband has been ready for a long time, it's Lian'er!"
"Lian'er insists that your husband try the millet porridge made by Lian'er!"
The little girl quickly waved her hands and explained to Huang Tinghui.
Looking at his good sister, he explained to Huang Tinghui as always.
Chen Qiuniang sighed, although she already knew that this girl was hopeless.
But looking at her like this, Chen Qiuniang was still "angry and unwilling to argue"!
"I know, I know!"
"Huang Xiaolangjun, I wish you good results in the exam!" Chen Qiuniang got off the carriage and said to Huang Tinghui.
"Thank you for your blessing!" After saying this, Huang Tinghui gently hugged the little girl standing next to him, "Wait for me to come back!"
After getting on the carriage, Huang Tinghui closed his eyes and rested.
take an exam!
Although he had gone through many exams in his previous life, this was the first important exam that Huang Tinghui took when he came to this world.
Let’s start changing our destiny from this county exam!
Huang Tinghui thought secretly.
