Chapter 121 The exam is over
"Okay." Zhou Ran did not refuse.

But when Zhou Ran took off her shoes and clothes, let down her hair and went to bed, she realized that the person who just said she couldn't sleep was already fast asleep.

"Liar." Zhou Ran reached out and poked Ye Ximing's cheek, then quietly got on the bed and lay down next to Ye Ximing.

As a result, as soon as she lay down, Ye Ximing didn't even open his eyes, but he had already skillfully hugged her into his arms.

After a long sleep, Ye Ximing regained his energy.

Even Cao Bingwen's face looked much better.

On the 12th, at the fifth watch, they entered the Gongyuan again. After finishing the second exam, they rested overnight and continued the third exam. It was not until the 17th that they completed the exam completely.

During this period, several candidates were carried out of the examination room due to lack of physical strength.

Zhou Ran stood on tiptoes and stared quietly at the candidates walking out of the Gongyuan gate, but there were too many people. Before she could see Ye Ximing, Ye Ximing and others had already appeared in front of her.

He was still holding Cao Bingwen, who had fainted, in his hands. Wei Yan, who was following behind him, also looked pale, as if he would fall down at any time.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ran asked.

Ye Ximing said: "He fainted, let's take him to the hospital first."

As soon as Cao Bingwen stepped out of the Gongyuan, he fainted. Fortunately, Ye Ximing supported him in time and no trouble was caused.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor took a look and told Ye Ximing and the others that Cao Bingwen fainted because he was tired, and his tense spirit suddenly relaxed, so he could just go back and take a good rest.

So, several people returned to the small courtyard.

After settling Cao Bingwen, Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing, who had a tired look on his face. He wanted to let him eat something before going to rest, but Ye Ximing had no appetite at the moment and just wanted to sleep.

Zhou Ran didn't force him and let him take a bath and go to bed first.

Wei Yan also fell asleep without eating.

It was already the next day when Ye Ximing woke up.

He woke up while lying on the bed, turned his head and looked at the empty pillow, got up and left the house.

Zhou Ran came out of the kitchen and saw Ye Ximing waking up. She smiled and said, "Are you hungry? I asked Aunt Li to cook porridge. You can drink some porridge first to cushion your stomach and eat other things later."

"it is good."

Ye Ximing was sitting at the table drinking porridge, while Zhou Ran was sitting aside and staring at his face.

Under Zhou Ran's burning gaze, Ye Ximing put down the spoon in his hand, raised his head and said, "Do you want to ask me how I did in the exam?"

Zhou Ran shook her head, "No, there's no need to ask. I'm just looking at you."

Ye Ximing curled his lips: "Do you believe me so much?"

Zhou Ran said matter-of-factly: "That's for sure. If you don't believe me, who can I believe?"

While the two were talking, Wei Yan's voice came in, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death."

Wei Yan woke up completely from hunger. If he wasn't too hungry, he could sleep until noon.

"Hurry up and drink your porridge, I'll go take a look." Zhou Ran said, got up and went out.

Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran's leaving figure, shook his head, lowered his head and continued to drink the porridge in the bowl.

After a while, Wei Yan also walked in with porridge.

After the two of them finished their porridge, they were about to go see Cao Bingwen when the door to Cao Bingwen's room was pushed open and Cao Bingwen floated out of the room with frivolous steps.

"Brother Cao, are you okay?" Ye Ximing asked. Cao Bingwen nodded and said to Ye Ximing: "Brother Ye, you brought me back yesterday, right? I really want to thank you, Brother Ye, for causing you trouble."

Ye Ximing shook his head and said: "Brother Cao is too polite. Friends should help each other. Brother Cao looks a little weak, so let's go get something to eat first."

"it is good."

Cao Bingwen didn't say anything more, just smiled gratefully at Ye Ximing.

After Ye Ximing and the others rested for two days, all their energy was restored.

The results of the rural examination were released in mid-September. The small courtyard they lived in was rented by Gou Sheng for two months, which was not due until late September. Zhou Ran and the others were not in a hurry to go back and wanted to wait until the results of the rural examination were released before returning to Nanxing County.

There were many candidates waiting with them in the city to release their results.

We couldn't wait for such a long time, so during this period, there were countless poetry gatherings, drinking parties, and garden parties among the scholars.

Wei Yan is a lively person, and he was depressed for a long time before the provincial examination. As soon as he regained his energy, he couldn't stay in the house. He would either attend a poetry meeting today or a garden party tomorrow.

Cao Bingwen was also pulled along by him.

Ye Ximing was not interested in these things. He only participated in one poetry meeting and then never went again. He either continued reading at home or took Zhou Ran around the city.

After a while, shopkeeper Ren of Jinhua Embroidery Shop came to the door again.

When shopkeeper Ren saw Zhou Ran, he said aggressively: "Mrs. Zhou, it's been so long, you should have thought about it, right? Our boss has been waiting for your reply."

Zhou Ran nodded: "Think about it."

"I know Mrs. Zhou that you are a smart person and you know who to cooperate with..."

Before shopkeeper Ren finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Ran, "shopkeeper Ren misunderstood. I don't plan to cooperate with your embroidery workshop for the time being."

Shopkeeper Ren's smile froze on his face and he said in disbelief: "What did you say? Are you kidding me?"

"Shopkeeper Ren! I didn't promise that I would definitely cooperate with your Jinhua Embroidery Workshop. After thinking about it, I thought it was inappropriate. Isn't it normal to reject you? Why are you kidding me?"

Zhou Ran said and shook her head, "With Shopkeeper Ren's current attitude, I'm really glad that I haven't cooperated with your Jinhua Embroidery Workshop. Shopkeeper Ren should please come back."

Shopkeeper Ren was extremely angry, but before he could say anything, Zhou Ran had already turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Ye Ximing saw Zhou Ran coming back and asked with a smile: "Is it solved?"

Zhou Ran nodded: "I hope they won't bother me anymore."

Ye Ximing said: "If they bother you again next time, just leave it to me to solve it."

"Okay." Zhou Ran agreed.

In the evening, Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen came back from outside, but they were all stained.

"What happened to you?" Ye Ximing asked.

Wei Yan said with an ugly face: "Don't mention it, Brother Cao and I are also unlucky. There were two students from Fu Xue at the poetry meeting today. Maybe it was because they had grudges before. They were always at odds with each other when we first started composing poems. "

"After drinking some wine later, I seemed to be unable to control my emotions. They actually got into a fight over the candidates for the rural examination, and they started fighting over the fight."

For a moment, those who broke up the fight and those who helped became a mess.

Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen were seated relatively close to these two people, so Chi Yu was affected.

Ye Ximing shook his head, "The results will be released soon. I think you guys should stop joining in the fun these days."
