Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 487: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 37
She went out and walked along the alley to the main street, taking in the bustle and prosperity of Fengqi County.

The shops on the street are full of various goods, which are overwhelming.

She first went to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour, grain, oil, oil lamp, broom, needle and thread, wooden basin, etc.

Bowls, plates, chopsticks, soup bowls, lard cans, and casseroles for stewing soup, these are all necessities of life, and I bought some of them.

Yu Yao saw bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise, dried chilies, and rock sugar on the shelves and picked some of each.

The grocery store owner was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear and kept saying nice things to him as if they were free.

She looked at the boss and smiled and said a few words back.

Then he picked out some miscellaneous items.

Finally, when she had bought almost everything and paid, she asked the boss to send the things to her residence.

Seeing that she was straightforward and bought a lot of things, the boss readily agreed.

Afterwards, I went to the fresh food market and bought some seasonal fruits and vegetables. I also bought a piece of tofu, which was very cheap, only 3 cents for a large piece.

There were too many things to carry, so I bought a basket, put the things in it, and carried them in my hands.

When I passed by a pork stall, I ordered a pound of pork belly and asked the owner for two large bones to use to make soup.

Leave the fresh food market and reappear on the street.

Seeing the silk shops on the street, he thought that the materials in his space were too expensive and not suitable for his current status.

So I went in and picked out some bright and refreshing cloth.

Firstly, it can be used to make bedding, sheets, covers and the like, and secondly, it can also be used to make two sets of clothes for myself and Chen Mufeng.

She bought a few more pairs of soles, some for her and some for Chen Mufeng, preparing to make a few pairs of shoes.

After paying the silver, he took his things and left the silk shop. His hands were filled with so many things that he couldn't see the road.

He turned and went to the next alley. Seeing that there was no one around, he threw everything into the space and took it out when he returned to the yard.

Yu Yao clapped her hands, came out of the alley, asked along the way, and walked towards the direction of the examination room.

The atmosphere in the examination room at this time was tense and solemn. Rows of number rooms were neatly arranged, like small grids, separating the candidates.

Each room is the examination place for one examinee. The space is small and cramped, only able to accommodate one person, one table and one stool.

Except for going to the toilet, eating, drinking and sleeping are all done in there. Each session lasts three days and two nights, for a total of nine days and seven nights.

After a scientific examination, many people can't hold on.

The conditions of the rooms vary. Some are relatively spacious and bright, which are considered to be "good rooms" that you can get if you are lucky.

But there are also some "stinky numbers" with poor conditions.

This "stinky room" is often close to the toilet or in a poorly ventilated place. It has a pungent and unpleasant smell and is infested with mosquitoes at night.

If it rains, it will leak.

Chen Mufeng was lucky and was assigned the title of Shan.

Zhang Shuhan's room was not far from Chen Mufeng's, and there were only a few candidates between the two of them.

Li Mingxuan had bad luck and was assigned a bad number.

As soon as he walked into the cell, an unpleasant smell hit him in the face, almost making him vomit.

His face was extremely ugly, and he frowned and complained in a low voice, "What a lousy place this is! The smell is giving me a headache. How can I take the exam?"

I was thinking: Is it because I forgot to go to the temple to burn incense before the exam that my luck is so bad?

He could no longer bear it, so he looked at the examiner, mustered up his courage, and said carefully: "Sir, the smell in this dormitory is really pungent and unbearable. Could you please change the dormitory for me? I will be very grateful."

He wanted to give the money, but he didn't dare to. If he was charged with bribing the examiner, he would be finished.

The examination room was very quiet. When everyone saw someone being assigned a bad number, they looked towards Li Mingxuan, wondering who was so unlucky to be assigned a bad number.

Chen Mufeng looked up and saw that Li Mingxuan was assigned the bad number. The corners of his mouth twitched and a bit of sympathy appeared in his eyes.

But he couldn't help with this kind of thing. Zhang Shuhan also looked over there, his mouth twitching.

I secretly thanked my luck today and didn't get a bad number, otherwise the smell would be so strong and there would be so many mosquitoes, which would really affect my performance.

There was a burst of whispers and laughter in the examination room due to the noise.

Some were secretly glad, some were secretly laughing, but more were indifferent and answered the questions seriously.

The chief examiner looked at Li Mingxuan with a glare in his eyes, as cold as frost in winter, and said sternly: "Are you going to take the exam or not? If not, get out! These dormitories have been arranged in advance, how can you change them at will? Don't disrupt the order in the examination room!"

Although Li Mingxuan was unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, it concerns your future. If you are kicked out of the examination room because of a momentary impulse, you will have to wait until next year to take the exam again.

Feeling helpless, he could only hold his nose and sit back in the stinking horn. Even though he tried his best not to breathe, the disgusting stench still penetrated into his nose. The feeling was extremely sour.

Soon, the examiners began to distribute the test papers.

The first test was eight-legged essay, with questions based on materials selected from the Four Books and Five Classics.

Chen Mufeng sat in the cell, looking focused and serious.

The question in front of him was a piece of cake for him, and he had already memorized it.

He wrote rapidly, his answers fluently, and his handwriting was vigorous and powerful.

The chief examiner patrolled the examination rooms from time to time, observing the performance of each candidate.

At this time, the examiner suddenly stopped in front of Chen Mufeng's room. Seeing that he answered fluently and had his own style of calligraphy, he nodded with satisfaction.

"You have great literary talent. As long as you have good luck, you will become a great man."

He thought to himself, his eyes looking at the corner of the title, which landed on the three words "Chen Mufeng".

I had an idea in my mind, but didn't say anything. I just secretly wrote down the candidate's name.

Chen Mufeng saw the examiner staring at him. Although he felt a little nervous, he remained calm and answered the questions seriously.

The examiner felt more satisfied when he saw that he was calm and not nervous at all because he was staring at him.

But they did not stay there forever and soon moved to another place.

This made Chen Mufeng feel relieved.

On the other hand, Zhang Shuhan, although from a poor family, had excellent literary talent and answered the questions fluently.

When the examiner passed by him, he couldn't help but take a closer look and silently wrote down his name.

As for Li Mingxuan, he was suffering in that stinky cell.

The pungent smell kept disturbing him. He tried to concentrate on answering the questions, but the smell was so sour that it made him feel nauseous.

While answering the questions, he frowned and muttered quietly: "This damn stinky hall is making me dizzy and my head hurts. I can't even read the questions clearly. God is really playing tricks on me!"

Despite this, he was well aware of the importance of the exam and gritted his teeth to answer the questions.

Fortunately, he was already familiar with these questions, and a few days ago he had privately simulated the test questions with Brother Chen and Brother Zhang.

I was able to answer the questions smoothly this time, but the environment was too bad, which really affected my performance.

The examination room was silent, with only the rustling sound of pens scratching on paper, one after another.

Every candidate looked focused, some frowned in thought, some wrote quickly.

Some of them stopped writing for a moment, looked up at the top of the narrow cell, as if quickly organizing words in their minds, and then hurriedly lowered their heads to continue writing.

At this time, Yu Yao had already arrived near the examination room, but did not go over.

The main reason was that she saw Chen Xiutian, who was standing under a big tree outside the examination room, whispering to a man dressed like a book boy.

Because of the distance, she couldn't hear what the two were saying.

She glanced around and found that there were many people waiting here, basically the candidates' servants and their family members who came to accompany them to the exam.

They were either standing or sitting, or gathered in groups of three or four to talk, quietly waiting for the exam to end.
