Chapter 211
When they arrived in Zhongzhou, the group first found a clean inn to stay in. At this time, there were still two days before the test. After resting at the inn, the group went shopping as usual.

Zhongzhou is considered a provincial capital city. Although it is not as prosperous as Beijing, it is much more lively than Pingyuan County, Lu'an County and other counties. , The seller's yelling, the buyer's counter-offering, all kinds of voices gathered together, it was extremely noisy.

Chen Guaibao followed behind Liu Yuanshan, walking around with his hands behind his back, looking left and right, very comfortable.

"Guaibao, what do you like? If you like it, let Shiro buy it for you." Liu Yuanshan looked at Chen Guaibao with a smile, and said.For Chen Guaibao, Liu Yuanshan was extremely satisfied, whether it was appearance or talent, Chen Guaibao was a good match for Yang Silang.Although Chen Guaibao took Yang Silang out for half a year to play, but Liu Yuanshan was not angry at all. Since Yang Silang was poisoned last time, his greatest wish in this life is that his children live a long and healthy life, and he doesn't care much about fame and fortune.

"No." Chen Guaibao shook her head. She came from the modern era. She has never seen any new gadgets. The gadgets on the streets in ancient times really can't catch her eyes. As for those real valuable things, such as calligraphy and paintings She didn't know anything about antiques, so she spent all her money on Taobao except for the daily clothes.

"But Godfather, don't worry. If I like something, I will never be polite to you. Silang has no money, so I will ask him to ask you for it." Chen Guaibao smiled, and squeezed at Yang Silang while laughing. Eye.

Liu Yuanshan chuckled, "Godfather still has a few coins in his hand, you and Shiro's family is gone, so feel free to ask godfather for it."

Yang Silang was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "I will study hard, and I will gain fame in the future. I will rely on my ability to earn money to support my baby and be filial to my godfather."

"It's good to have this heart, godfather is waiting for your filial piety." Yang Silang's words made Liu Yuanshan feel very comfortable, he stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, Liu Yuanshan smiled happily.

Chen Guaibao didn't want to hurt Yang Silang's self-confidence, so she also nodded with a smile.

The salaries of officials in the Great Sui Dynasty were not very high. Officials would accept some bribes if they were appropriate. When the water was clear, there would be no fish. The Emperor Daye also turned a blind eye to this. Know.

With Yang Silang's upright character, he will definitely not accept bribes at that time. With his little salary, she and Yang Silang will definitely live on a simple life.

Thinking of this, Chen Guaibao felt that it would be better to make money by herself, she wanted to open several shops and wait for the dividends every year.This is what Liu Yuanshan did. He was a man who had not been an official for a long time, but he never had any money in his hands. There were two sources of his money, one was the filial piety of his students, and the other was the property of the Liu family. The family lives in seclusion in Qingniu Town, but in the capital, the Liu family still has some property.

Chen Guaibao plans to follow the example of Liu's family and open a few shops. With the small amount of money Chen's home-cooked food earns every day, the Chen family will never be able to make a fortune.

Now their family seems to be rich, with tens of thousands of taels of silver, but it will be spent really quickly. If Zhuang Zhuang really marries the princess in the future, with the current wealth of the Chen family, he is not worthy of the princess. ah.

Thinking of this, Chen Guaibao not only began to pay attention to the shops on both sides of the street, but also thought about what kind of shop to open in her heart. Thinking of her own skills, Chen Guaibao finally focused on fabrics. Get some fabrics with novel styles and scarce materials from Taobao.

An's family also has a fabric shop, and Chen Guaibao decided to discuss this matter with An Ruosu when Ai Li gets married.

With things in mind, Chen Guaibao didn't take his shopping seriously anymore, wandered around the street casually, then went back to the inn, had dinner, Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang went back to the room to study, and Liu Yuanshan went to visit Old friend, there is only Chen Guaibao who has nothing to do.

Chen Guaibao returned to the room, entered the space in front of Yang Silang, and watched Chen Guaibao disappear from his eyes. Although he was used to this scene, he still couldn't help clenching his fists. He was afraid that Chen Guaibao would It will really disappear completely and never come back.

After thinking wildly for a while, Yang Silang let out a melancholy breath, and then sat down to read a book.

in space.

Chen Guaibao is carefully selecting all kinds of fabrics. This is related to the Chen family's property, so it must be serious.

"Honey, don't you have money? Why are you still thinking about opening a shop?" Xiao Er didn't understand Chen Guaibao's approach.

"My silver is my private money. I don't want my parents to know, and it's inconvenient for them to know. The shop I want now is the shop of the Chen family. The Chen family will never make a fortune just relying on the Chen family's home cooking. day."

"Actually, we made some mistakes in paying attention to tomatoes." Speaking of the Chen family's fortune, Xiaoer mentioned this crop, "Nowadays, there are only a few tomatoes every year. Except for paying tribute to the emperor, your family can't earn much. Silver coins, I should have bought a hundred and eighty catties if I knew it earlier." There was a little regret in Xiao Er's tone.

The amount of one hundred and eighty catties made Chen Guaibao laugh, "Look at what you said, with the situation of our Chen family, how can we keep so many tomatoes?"

"You can let An's grow it, just like ginger, and you will share the dividends."

"Forget it, let's let the past go. Our Chen family has a way to make a fortune without relying on tomatoes." Chen Guaibao shook his head indifferently, and advised Xiaoer not to take this matter to heart, "As a A time-traveling girl with a magical Taobao space, I will definitely make Chen Jiafei famous!"

"Then come on, dear~"

"Yes!" Chen Guabao nodded heavily.

When it was time to eat dinner, Chen Guaibao finally came out of the space, and Yang Silang hugged her, "I'm so tired after reading all afternoon, rub it for me." Yang Silang said while holding Chen Guaibao. Po's hand was on his temple.

Asking Yang Silang to sit on the round stool, Chen Guaibao gently rubbed Yang Silang's temples, thinking of the exam two days later, Chen Guaibao said worriedly, "You will have to be locked up inside for three days, and you will suffer Can you live?"

Speaking of this, Chen Guaibao felt that the ancient imperial examinations were quite inhumane. She even locked people in a small cubicle for three days. She had to go crazy for a long time. Still thinking about what to do.

"Why can't I bear it? Everyone came here like this. Besides, I'm in good health. I just endured it for three days. It's fine." He didn't experience any hardships when he was a child, and he was afraid that this idea would be difficult.

"At that time, I'll make some delicious food for you and the second brother, and you can bring them in." Chen Guaibao said.

"Only steamed buns and pancakes are allowed inside, and both steamed buns and pancakes have to be cut open to prevent cheat sheets from being caught inside." Yang Silang said while holding Chen Guaibao's hands, putting his arms around her small waist and letting her sit on his lap , kissed Chen Guaibao's red lips, Yang Silang said with a smile, "You don't have to panic, just wait with peace of mind, Zhuang Zhuang and I will definitely pass the exam and come back."

"Then you and the second brother have to work hard~" Chen Guaibao stretched out his hand and pulled the flesh on Yang Silang's face, "I'm waiting to become Mrs. Juren, don't let me be happy for once."

"No, I have more confidence in your husband." Yang Silang said and kissed Chen Guaibao again.Chen Guaibao smiled, wrapped his hands around Yang Silang's waist, and hugged Yang Silang tightly.

Two days passed easily, and soon it was the date of the examination. Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan got up early in the morning and brought Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang to the outside of the examination room.It was still early at this time, Liu Yuanshan babbled to Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang about the problems that should be paid attention to during the exam, while Chen Guaibao squatted aside and checked Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang's baskets over and over again.

There are pens, inkstones and food in the basket. Except for these things, nothing else is allowed.After Chen Guaibao checked, she found that there was nothing missing. She looked up at the crowd around her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, exams, exams, no matter in ancient times or modern times, they are quite torturous.

Seeing the old scholar with a gray beard, led by his son and grandson, also came outside the examination room, Chen Guaibao not only worried in his heart, wondering whether he would pass out immediately after being confined in a cubicle for three days at such an old age ?If he really passed out, he would have to wait another three years.

I have spent my whole life in reading, and I really don't know whether it is good or not.

"Okay, let's go in, you can enter." Seeing people queuing up to enter, Liu Yuanshan patted the arms of Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang, signaling them to prepare quickly.

Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang picked up their baskets from the ground, and then started to line up. Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan stood beside them on the left and right, and lined up together.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't panic, there is plenty of time, three days, calm down, and write well." Liu Yuanshan repeated what he said thousands of times.

"Also, pay attention to your body. The water supplied in it is hot water. You should eat pancakes and steamed buns with hot water. Don't drink cold water. If you have a stomachache, it will be miserable." Chen Guaibao also warned .

Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang couldn't stop nodding, expressing that they knew about it, and told them not to worry about it.Finally at the door, the gatekeeper checked Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang's basket, and then let them in.Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang turned their heads and waved to Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan, then walked confidently to their cubicles.

There is a small rectangular table in the cubicle. On the table is a water pot with a small wooden bowl upside down. Under the table is a cotton pad. Behind the cotton pad is a thin straw mat. There is a small toilet, and that's all the items in the cubicle.

Yang Silang entered the cubicle, first put down the basket, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the small table carefully with the water in the jug, and then scrubbed the small wooden bowl carefully. He took out a pen, ink and inkstone from the basket, and waited quietly for the examiner to hand out the test papers.

The same is true for Zhuang Zhuang, first he wiped the table quickly, scrubbed the wooden bowl, and then sat down and waited for the examiner to hand out the test papers.

Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan watched the backs of Zhuang Zhuang and Yang Silang outside until they could no longer see each other.

"Okay, let's go back to the inn and pick them up after three days." Liu Yuanshan said to Chen Guaibao with his hands behind his back.

"Okay." Chen Guaibao turned around and followed Liu Yuanshan back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Chen Guaibao went into the space to chat with Xiao Er sullenly, although she had already passed the exam countless times, she had already dismissed the matter of the exam.

"Don't worry, Shiro and Zhuang Zhuang study hard, and they will definitely pass the exam."

"There are more and more people who study hard in the world, but there are also more people who fail the rankings." Chen Guaibao opened the computer and casually browsed the webpage, and said weakly.

"Having said that, Shiro and Zhuang Zhuang study hard, and their brains are active and their bodies are strong. They are more likely to pass the exam than others."

"I hope so." Chen Guaibao lamented.

When going to bed at night, Chen Guaibao lay on the bed in the inn tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Since she got married, she had been eating, living and sleeping with Yang Silang. Now without Yang Silang's comforting embrace, she always I feel chilly around me and can't sleep well.

Chen Guaibao couldn't sleep well, and Yang Silang also couldn't sleep well. There was only a thin straw mat in the cubicle, and it was autumn, and the weather was cold. Sitting in such a cubicle, it was really hard to sleep peacefully.He also missed the large and comfortable big bed at home, and he also missed Chen Guaibao's soft and fragrant body. With longing for Chen Guaibao, Yang Silang tightened his clothes and fell into a deep sleep.

Now after three days, it was finally time to hand in the test papers. Yang Silang looked at the test papers on the table full of answers, and his heart was like an arrow.

After leaving the examination room, Yang Silang stood at the door without moving. While waiting for Zhuang Zhuang, he looked for Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan in the crowd, but he couldn't find Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan, because too many people crowded in front of the examination room. , After meeting with Zhuang Zhuang, the two squeezed out together.

Squeezing out of the crowd, the two finally saw Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan. Chen Guaibao and Liu Yuanshan were also anxiously looking around looking for them. Both of them waved excitedly. They said in unison, "Are you tired?"

He didn't ask if he did well in the exam, but asked if he was tired first. This made Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang feel very comfortable. They shook their heads in unison, expressing that they could bear it.

Liu Yuanshan let Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang get into the carriage. After returning to the inn, the bath water was ready. Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang went to take a bath. They stayed in the compartment for three days, eating, drinking, and sleeping there. Zhuang Zhuang felt that his body was contaminated with a strange smell.

Take a quick bath.After taking care of personal hygiene, the two of them changed into clean clothes and went downstairs to have dinner with Liu Yuanshan and Chen Guaibao.

After eating dry steamed buns and pancakes for three days, Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang didn’t stop chopsticks in their hands when they saw the hot food now. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a hard life.” Side took the time to say.

"No, I'm used to eating good food. I'm really not used to eating dry steamed buns and pancakes." Zhuang Zhuang nodded aside. Although the steamed buns are white flour steamed buns, and the pancakes are also baked with white flour, they are still not used to it. .

"Hey, I don't know how we survived the days when we couldn't even eat white noodles when we were young." Hearing Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang say this, Chen Guaibao felt emotional.

"Thank you, third sister. If it weren't for you, our family would still be living such a hard life, and I couldn't read or write." Zhuang Zhuang looked at Chen Guaibao and said sincerely.

"Thanks to Kuaibao too, if it weren't for Guaibao, I wouldn't be here now." Speaking of this point, Yang Silang was also very emotional.

Hearing this, Chen Guaibao was sweating, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Stop talking about this, let's talk about how you did in the exam."

"Yes, you retell me the test questions and your articles, so that I can have a clear idea." Liu Yuanshan said.

Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang Qiqi agreed, and then talked about the exam.Chen Guaibao sat on the sidelines and listened to their retelling of her articles, and felt extremely sympathetic to them in her heart. She remembered that when she took the exam, she threw away all the books and test papers after the exam, and recalled the answers. It was the most painful .

Because he had to retell the article, he ate this meal very slowly. After Chen Guaibao finished eating quickly, he sat next to him and listened to their conversation with bright eyes blinking.

After both Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang recounted their articles, Liu Yuanshan showed a satisfied look on his face, "Not bad, not bad, I didn't teach you for nothing."

"Godfather, do you think the two of them can pass the exam?" Chen Guaibao's eyes lit up when he heard that, one of them was her husband and the other was her younger brother, and she couldn't care less about them.

"Only their essays are excellent, but it depends on the overall level of the candidates. If someone answers better than them, then they will definitely not be able to get the first place." Liu Yuanshan stroked his beard and smiled. road.

"Oh, according to what godfather said, they are sure to be able to pass the examination of scholar?" Chen Guaibao cheered.

"Sure." Liu Yuanshan answered with great certainty. Even if there are people who answered better than Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang, there are absolutely very few of them. He will take the top [-] in the exam, and Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang will be selected in high school. It's a certainty.

What Liu Yuanshan said was so sure, Chen Guaibao, Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang were overjoyed, they ate their meal from noon to the afternoon, which saved dinner, and they went straight to sleep.

Yang Silang and Zhuang Zhuang couldn't sleep well for three nights, they were already exhausted at this time, and with Liu Yuanshan's words, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and as soon as their spirits relaxed, they became more sleepy, Zhuang Zhuang fell asleep as soon as he was hit by the pillow, and here Yang Silang held Chen Guaibao's hand and couldn't help talking gossip.

"Go to sleep first, you must have not slept well in the examination room, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it after you wake up." Seeing the dark circles under Yang Silang's eyes, Chen Guaibao said distressedly.

"It's still early, don't worry." The sun hadn't set yet, Yang Silang held Chen Guaibao's soft body, and let out a long breath.
