husband and wife

Chapter 219

After the general exam, and the rankings will be released next month, Song Ziheng returned to the days of preparing for the exam. Although the general exam is over, their exams have not yet come to an end. Being on the list should not be taken lightly. There will be a palace exam in early May, which is related to future official careers, and you must be extremely cautious. Even after finishing the palace exam, you still have to prepare for the exam. There is a saying in the court that "non-Jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet" in the selection of the Hanlin Academy from the second-class and the third-class. It is impossible for scholars to give up such an opportunity if they have the opportunity to rise to the top.

Song Ziheng naturally knew better than others. He came out of the examination room, took a good rest for a day, and returned to normal the next day. He was not affected by the examination. This kind of mentality is the best. After the examination, put everything aside and be calm Reading, writing and writing, chatting with Su Wan and taking a walk after the end, the days are very leisurely, even Daniel and Xiaolu are more nervous and excited than him, for a while, they are worried that their uncle did not pass the exam, and he will not be able to return to his hometown to explain to the old lady. I would feel that my uncle is so confident, and I think that the exam is very smooth, and I am afraid that the title of the gold list is not a problem, and my uncle will be an official in the future. Thinking of these, I get excited again.

Da Niu and Xiao Lu were both nervous and excited at times, with ups and downs, it was really not easy.

Su Wan was not nervous, except that Song Ziheng talked about the situation in the examination room, as for how he did in the examination and whether he felt good about himself, but he didn't ask a word, as if she accompanied him here instead of accompanying the examination, Su Wan's focus was still the same In terms of daily eating and drinking, when she arrived in Beijing, there were too many delicious things. Although Song Ziheng didn't let her eat at street stalls, she was afraid that the unclean food would spoil her stomach, so Su Wan got an idea and asked Xiaolu to go to the stalls I ate there a few times, learned [-]% to [-]% of the craft and came back to cook for her. The ingredients I bought at home are nothing to worry about. Song Ziheng didn't stop him, but followed Su Wan from south to north, eating all kinds of cuisines Catch them all.

After she was full, Su Wan started to prepare new clothes again. It is true that Beijing is colder than the south. After March and April, the weather gradually warmed up. It is time to change out of winter clothes. Her belly began to bulge. The clothes don't fit well—in fact, ancient women's clothes couldn't be as slim and curvy as modern ones. In order to show that they are good girls, they would deliberately relax a few inches when making clothes, so Su Wan's body is heavy now, but She could still wear her previous clothes, but it was a little tight, showing her swollen belly unreservedly, but now the moon is still shallow, those who don't know think Su Wan's belly is so big.

Su Wan didn't want to wrong herself. Except for the ones she liked, most of her previous clothes were washed twice, and she wouldn't wear them for the third time. In ancient times, she had already saved a lot, so she didn't think so She is diligent and thrifty in managing the family, but in the Song family who has just solved food and clothing, wearing new clothes and knowing luxury, she is not too independent, but now that she has come to the capital, the elders are all in their hometown. The emperor is far away, she and Song Ziheng have the final say on everything, the clothes are obviously too small, why would she force herself to keep wearing them?

Su Wan said that she wanted to cut some looser spring shirts, which could also cover her belly, Song Ziheng really had no objection, and just told her to let Xiaolu do it, if she didn't like what Xiaolu made, spend some money on her own It's okay to spend money to hire a good embroiderer to do it, anyway, don't worry about it.

Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Didn't my wife ask us to bring some cloth from home when we set off, or I will sew a whole body for the young lady in a few days."

Su Wan shook her head: "The cloth we brought from my hometown doesn't have the same pattern and color as those sold in Beijing, and it must be outdated if it is made. It's better to go directly to the store to buy it."

"The things in Beijing are expensive. If you want to buy the popular cloth, I'm afraid the price is not cheap..." Xiaolu persuaded in a low voice, "Miss will only wear this season's clothes for a few months. After the young master is born, the lady will recover The slenderness of the past, can you still use such a large clothes?"

When Xiaolu said this, she glanced at Song Ziheng, thinking that she couldn't tell the lady or the uncle to restrain themselves about the affair between the lady and the uncle. Now that the lady wants to spend money recklessly, the uncle should come out to dissuade her, right?Su Wan also noticed Xiaolu's eyes, turned her head to glance at Song Ziheng, and narrowed her eyes: "Sanggong thinks I'm a prodigal?"

Song Ziheng, who was sitting and lying on the gun, twitched the corners of his mouth and stared at his wife's threatening eyes. He was under a lot of pressure, and naturally he couldn't care about the expectation on Xiaolu's face, so he shook his head quickly: "What does the lady say, just a few clothes. The lady wants to wear it but can't afford it?"

"Don't you think it's a waste of money, Xianggong?"

Song Ziheng said solemnly: "Since the lady wants to buy it, how can it be said to be a waste?"

Song Ziheng spoke so beautifully, Su Wan was naturally satisfied, nodded and said: "After lunch, Mr. Xiang will accompany me to the street to pick one."

Xiaolu looked desperately at the situation where the young lady and uncle decided to go shopping in the afternoon so happily, the two of them were even discussing how to buy, buy, buy, and bought, they couldn't help but tightly covered their sleeve pockets, and silently exited the main room, there was a big bull outside the door She comforted her with sympathy: "You still haven't figured it out, is it that the young lady has the final say in our family?"

"But when we came to Beijing, the master and wife both told me that if the miss starts to mess around, just let the uncle stop her."

Da Niu spread his hands: "Perhaps my uncle thinks that Miss is not fooling around. As long as Miss is not too out of line, she can give birth to the young master with peace of mind, and you can pretend you didn't see the rest."

Entering April, the apricot blossoms and peach blossoms are already in full bloom. This is the day when the list will be published. Because it is the season when the apricot blossoms are the most brilliant, it is also called the "Apricot List". Already packed, just to get a vantage point to see the list early.
