Quick wear: the host is so brave, and the blackened villain dares to tease

Chapter 642 Imperial Examination Girls Are Not Cannon Fodder (20)

Ning Xi didn't know what He Shiyan was thinking, anyway, after she went out, she went to the kitchen to make chicken soup.

The chickens were raised by Mrs. Shen's farm. When she learned that someone in her family was doing scientific research, she sent a few over.

After blanching, the chicken pieces were stewed in the pot, and all the oil that floated was skimmed off. He Shiyan was still ill, so he didn't want to eat greasy food.

Only put some mushrooms and red dates, the soup looks bright and smells sweet.

After boiling, it is simmering slowly, and it is just ready to be served at dinner time.

Sitting opposite Ning Xi, He Shiyan naturally served a bowl of soup for the two of them.

After the chicken soup, it feels warm, as if the tiredness in the number room has been swept away.

……

Coinciding with the year of the rural examination, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the provincial capital is extremely lively.

Ning Xi changed into an exquisite skirt and went out with He Shiyan. He has been recuperating intensively for the past few days, and his illness has completely recovered.

There is no curfew during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Zhoufang restaurant is brightly lit, creating a lively scene inside and outside the city.

Ning Xi was walking on the street and saw a lot of scholars rushing in one direction, she asked a question, and only then did she know that Chulou had chosen the oiran for the Mid-Autumn Festival feast.

In this day and age, famous prostitutes can make a good story about talents, so students who have just passed the provincial examination like to go to brothels to participate in this oiran conference.

Ning Xi looked at the young scholar who was walking in a hurry, she bumped He Shiyan with her elbow, "Do you want to go?"

He Shiyan shook his head, he was not interested from the bottom of his heart, "Accompany you to release the river lantern."

Ning Xi actually wanted to go and see it, but he gave up because of the men crowding everywhere. Why not go to the lantern with He Shiyan, who is in a clean suit, and eat some delicious food.

Along the way, He Shiyan told her about the Mid-Autumn Festival customs of this era.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, many people go to the river to release river lanterns, and then the wishes of the devout wishers will come true.

Standing in front of the stall selling lanterns, Ning Xi looked up sideways and asked, "Do you believe it?"

He Shiyan shook his head and chuckled, but carefully selected the lanterns.

The stall owner said cheerfully, "Master, you have really good eyesight. The painting on this lamp is the Fairy Chang'e, which is just right for the girl beside you."

He Shiyan looked at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi picked up an ordinary lotus lantern, "'Yu Duai's lotus comes out of mud without being stained, with clear ripples but not demon', Brother He, this lotus lantern is very good."

He Shiyan took out the money to pay the bill, "Then let's buy two."

Ning Xi carried the bright river lanterns to the bridge. There were already a lot of lanterns floating on the river, which looked pleasing to the eye.

She squatted down, a little annoyed, "It won't sink, will it? I won't let it go"

"I'll come, all you need to do is make a wish." He Shiyan was next to her, with an exceptionally nice voice.

Ning Xi laughed, "Didn't you say you don't believe in these things?"

He Shiyan was silent.

He didn't believe it before, but now he believes that the woman in front of him is a gift from heaven to him.

He gently lowered both lotus lanterns into the water.

Ripples rippled round and round, and a gust of autumn wind hit, as if there was a sound of "puff", the lotus lantern that had just been put down was overturned by the water waves.

Ning Xi: "..."

She turned to look at He Shiyan.

He Shiyan felt his ears burning, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Ning Xi turned sideways slightly, her shoulders trembled, and she couldn't hold back her laughter at all.

He stood up shyly, "I'll go buy it again."

"Brother Shi Yan~" Ning Xi grabbed his hand and scratched his palm with fingertips, "No need, I'll tell you all my wishes, okay?"

"Just help me make it happen."

He Shiyan's heart settled down, and he bent down to listen to her wish, and after listening to her, his heart jumped up again, beating wildly
Ning Xi looked at the figure reflected in the river, the two figures intertwined, looked up and saw his red ears, she was in a good mood.

After getting on the bridge, He Shiyan still held her hand and refused to let go.

Ning Xi squeezed his hand, stood on tiptoe and asked him, "I don't know your wish yet."

He Shiyan turned his head to look at her, his deep eyes seemed to be twinkling with starlight.

"Me, I will only marry one wife in the future."

Ning Xi joked, "Where's the concubine? Where's the outer room?"

He Shiyan suddenly clenched her hand, "You understand what I mean."

Only now did he realize that the little girl in front of him was extraordinarily badass.

Ning Xi smiled, "How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

He Shiyan turned sideways slightly, not wanting her to see his reddened ears, "There will be no one else, only you."

Ning Xi didn't make things difficult for him anymore, she pulled him towards the crowd, she pointed to a stall surrounded by people on the shore, "Come on, let's go and see what's sold there."

When I walked past, I found that most of them were stalls selling flowers and jewelry.

People come and go, and many girls wear hairpin flowers on their heads, which is quite interesting.

She hasn't had flowers in hairpins yet, and before she knew it, she had already walked to the stall, and the stall owner tried her best to recommend it.

"What kind of flowers does the girl like? These are newly picked, and this hibiscus flower is very suitable for you."

Ning Xi poked He Shiyan, "Choose for me."

He Shiyan chose a hibiscus hairpin to put on her temples, unintentionally pulled out a strand of hair, and carefully pulled it back.

Looking at his beautiful and beautiful fiancee, his heart became hotter again.

Seeing that there were hairpin sellers nearby, Ning Xi picked up a jasper hairpin and looked it over, which suited He Shiyan very well.

"This is for you." Ning Xi stood on tiptoe and put the jade hairpin on him with her own hands.

Before the festive season, if a man is a woman's hairpin, and the woman wears the hairpin for the man with her own hands, it will be regarded as a relationship between the two, and they will be in love with each other.

……

In early September, there was still about half a month before the list was released, Ning Xi thought, why not wait in the provincial capital for the list to be released before returning to Yong'an City.

Before the township examination was released, their house welcomed an unexpected visitor.

When Wang Linzhang knocked on the courtyard door, Ning Xi was making osmanthus-flavored essential oil in the courtyard, and He Shiyan and Bai Zi happened to invite them to play Cuju to exercise and was not at home.

When Ning Xi opened the courtyard door and saw him, she couldn't help but frown. Wang Linzhang didn't live a good life in the capital, so why did he travel so far?
Along with her curiosity, there is also the little white cat walking around at her feet.

Wang Linzhang asked the guards to watch outside, and only one person pushed him in.

Ning Xi saw that his legs were still not healed and he was sitting in a wheelchair, but his complexion was much better than before. After all, Wang Zuo could provide him with an excellent life.

"Miss Ning, long time no see."

Ning Xi served tea in the yard, nodded slightly, and glanced at his legs, "How is the prince?"

As soon as Wang Linzhang entered the yard, he could smell the strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. He remembered that when he was in the capital, he suddenly heard a news about her.

It turned out that she was the one who made those essential oils that were said to be able to beautify and nourish the skin, let alone that she had such a talent at such a young age.

Wang Linzhang nodded and looked at Ning Xi, "Everything is fine, Miss Lao Ning is worried."

It's been a long time since I saw her, but she looks so dazzling.

Ning Xi sat down at the stone table, not in a hurry to know that he came here to find his purpose, while drinking tea, he listened to Xiao Tongzi's report on Wang Linzhang's activities in the capital.
