Ye Zhenzhen always acted swiftly and resolutely. When she returned that day, she prepared various sauce recipes, added a few jars of sauces that were available at home, and asked her servants to deliver them to the houses of several adults.
Of course, when the servants came back they all brought what they promised in exchange, which was so rich that Ye Zhen Zhen even blushed.
It's really a huge advantage.
Therefore, in the next two exams, Ye Zhenzhen tried her best to prepare delicious food for Cui Weizhen and other examiners, and many recipes were sent to her one after another. Of course, this time she was not willing to ask for more from everyone.
Something.
Food is the most important thing for the people, especially those with Chinese blood. Cui Weizhen has established a good friendship with his colleagues through this, except of course Zhao Hongrui, the eccentric minister of the Ministry of Justice.
The nine-day examination finally came to an end. Many scholars were tired or suffering from frostbite and stayed in inns to recuperate. However, many able-bodied scholars quickly recovered and quickly joined the social life of the capital.
among.
Of course, the new regulations for this year's general examination caused an uproar among the scholars, and there were discussions everywhere. However, Emperor Xuanwu Qiankun was arbitrary, and all the courtiers who dared to speak out against were demoted. The future of the scholars was now being threatened.
The imperial court was in control, and it didn't dare to cause trouble.
Therefore, the "name-blinding system" only caused a small splash among the scholars, and did not cause any major commotion.
After a few days, most of the scholars calmed down, and various activities became more and more colorful. Various banquets and poetry gatherings continued. Members of the aristocratic families who had been jumping around before began to have frequent contact with the scholars, and they didn’t know it.
What are you thinking about?
However, Ye Zhenzhen was not in the mood to pay attention to what these people thought for the time being, because Cui Weizhen had just rested for a few days after supervising the examination and started grading the papers.
The grading rules have also been changed this time. In order to avoid suspicion and to ensure that no fraud has occurred, the grading examiners must gather in Gongyuan to review the exam papers and cannot come out until the marking is completed.
This made Aunt Cui and Ye Zhenzhen very distressed. They quickly packed up the things Cui Weizhen often used, such as bedding, clothes, toiletries, coal, buckets, etc., and gave away everything they thought of.
At first glance, it may seem a bit exaggerated, but Gongyuan is not a place for people to live at all. Everything is damp, damp and moldy, and ordinary people can't live there, let alone the pampered Cui Weizhen.
Fortunately, this time, servants were allowed to be brought in to serve, and even meals could be brought in. When Ye Zhenzhen returned to cooking, she got up early every day and cooked three meals a day. She personally prepared three meals for Cui Weizhen, and even
Even the food delivery job was taken away.
However, unfortunately, she fell ill.
I don't know whether it was because she got up early in the past few days or because of the cold wind blowing outside. She had a runny nose from the cold in the first few days. When she woke up this morning, she had a headache, brain fever, and chills all over her body. She lay on the hospital bed and couldn't get up.
In this way, while she was lying in bed, she did not forget to worry about Cui Weizhen in the Gongyuan, and told Yuxiu: "Let Mrs. Wu cook the three meals. Our cooking skills are almost the same. Weizhen should not be able to taste it. Let Zhang San deliver the meals. Ten million
I want to tell her not to tell my husband about my illness, so as not to worry him."
Yuxiu was so distressed that she nodded repeatedly: "I understand, madam, don't worry, I'll go over and make arrangements right away."
"There are also Zhi Duan and Zhi Ming. Zhang San will be able to send them to school in time after he comes back." Ye Zhenzhen was worried: "I'm looking for excuses to tell them not to come. They are still young and have weak resistance. Don't let them come."
The illness has passed."
"Yes, ma'am, don't worry."
Yuxiu took the order and went down. Qiu Wu, who was standing aside, had time to come over with the decoction and said with some hesitation and disapproval: "Madam, do you really not need to recruit old doctor Yu? He has excellent medical skills.
, it’s better to let him diagnose and prescribe medicine.”
Ye Zhenzhen took the decoction and drank it in one gulp. She quickly ate a candied fruit to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth. When the taste dissipated, she felt a little more energetic: "No, this medicine is still the last time I had a cold."
Dr. Shi Yu prescribed it, and the effect should be about the same. Let’s drink it for a day, and if it doesn’t work, call Dr. Yu over.”
As soon as Dr. Yu moved, Aunt Cui must have known it immediately. Ye Zhenzhen didn't want her to worry too much, so she could hide it for a while.
Qiu Wu looked disapproving, but he couldn't defeat his master, so he had no choice but to collude with her.
Seeing that she had given in, Ye Zhenzhen said with satisfaction: "Go and tell the old lady that I have to go to Yongshan Hall today and won't come back until evening, so that she doesn't have to wait for me to have a meal. Be careful, Qian
Don’t let your secrets show up.”
"What's wrong with you? I think you're very brave."
Suddenly, a stern voice came from outside, and Ye Zhenzhen was startled. Then she saw Aunt Cui walking in with an angry look on her face, followed by Dr. Yu, who was carrying a medical box and looking downcast. She was immediately frightened.
How did Aunt Cui know she was sick?
When she took a closer look, she saw a shrunken jade plate behind her. When the maid caught her sight, she immediately looked away guiltily. Her eyes were flickering, and she knew there was a ghost at a glance.
Her face immediately darkened: "Yupan, who asked you to disturb the old lady?"
Yupan was immediately frightened and cried: "Madam, please spare me, Mr. Lang. Before he left, Mr. Lang ordered the slaves to take good care of Madam. Madam, you were sick and refused to see the doctor, so the slaves took it upon themselves to inform the old lady."
"
Ye Zhenzhen was speechless.
Cui Weizhen did instruct the maids like this before leaving. Of course, the maids were not attentive to their service, but Ye Zhenzhen was the biggest in Mingxi Garden. Cui Weizhen was not around and they all listened to Ye Zhenzhen. Who would have expected that Yupan would treat Cui Weizhen so seriously?
I remember not to say anything, but I actually know how to save the country through curves.
This girl, I really don’t know what to say.
"The jade plate is done right. This is a slave who is loyal to the master. I want to reward her greatly."
Aunt Cui glanced at Ye Zhenzhen and her tone was harsher than ever before: "Look, if Yupan hadn't informed you, you wouldn't have known how long you would have kept it secret. You've been living longer and better in recent years, even worse than Wang Zai.
Already."
Ye Zhenzhen made the mistake first and bowed her head to be scolded. Her sickly appearance was really pitiful. Aunt Cui couldn't continue talking after a few words. She just snorted coldly and summed up: "This is
I'll mark it down for you first, and I won't be lenient the next time."
Ye Zhenzhen had already tasted the bitter pill and quickly shook her head and assured: "Mom, don't worry, I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Aunt Cui then calmed down slightly and asked Dr. Yu to check her pulse.
