At this moment, many people have gathered at the palace gate, just like early in the morning.
Yan Funing and Caiyu said, "We arrived in time."
As soon as they finished speaking, candidates came out of the palace gate.
Many people saw their own candidates and rushed through the crowd to greet them. They were forced to stop when they reached the guard of the Royal Forest Army. For a while, the entrance to the palace was extremely lively.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Yan Funing finally saw Fu Ciyi and Lu Wenfeng coming out side by side.
Not long after, they met.
While walking to the place where the carriages were parked, everyone chatted while walking.
"How did you do in the exam?" Yan Funing asked.
Fu Ciyi said: "Not bad."
Lu Wenfeng walked briskly and said with a smile: "Not bad."
Yan Funing laughed along with her: "It seems that everyone did well in the exam. When will the results be released?"
"After the examination is completed tomorrow, the results will be released the day after tomorrow." Fu Ciyi said softly.
Yan Funing was shocked when she heard this: "So fast?"
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Yeah."
Yan Funing took a deep breath: "In this way, People are nervous.”
She was really nervous.
Someone passed the exam all the way. From autumn to spring, the scale of the exam became larger and larger, and the standards became higher and higher.
Especially today’s palace examination, although the number of participants was the smallest, only a few hundred people.
But in the true sense, thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge.
There are currently hundreds of candidates from all over the country, and there will probably only be a few dozen left after the results are released.
It was an imperial examination held every three years, and there were only a few dozen people.
Probably because she accompanied him all the way to the exam, she became nervous when she thought about the results being released the next day.
Lu Wenfeng asked with a smile: "Why is Funing so nervous? According to Ciyi's knowledge, he will definitely be a Jinshi, regardless of his ranking."
Yan Funing smiled: "I I know that my husband is knowledgeable, so I want him to get results that are proportional to his efforts."
Hearing this, Fu Ciyi felt an inexplicable throb in his heart and secretly held her little hand.
Yan Funing scratched his palm with her fingertips: "I want to go back to Jinzhou after the results are released."
The man's hand holding her little hand clenched instantly: "Are you sure you want to go back to Jinzhou?"
< br>Could it be that you want to escape?
Yan Funing said: "Well, back to Ling County, Jinzhou, that is, home."
Fu Ciyi nodded lightly.
The group got on the carriage and returned to the guild hall.
After entering the guest house of the guild hall, Fu Ciyi pulled Yan Funing away very quickly.
Entering the study, he closed the door with a bang.
Looking at Yan Funing, she was very confused: "You didn't do well in the exam. Do you want to close the door and tell me?"
The man put his hand on her side and blocked her in the corner.
"Can I not reply for now?"
The voice was low and deep.
Yan Funing did not dare to take a deep breath, and tried to slow down the frequency and rhythm of her breathing, for fear that her chest would press against his body.
What he said was even softer: "After the results are released, you should go home and tell your mother how you did in the exam. If you are awarded an official position, you will have to take your mother and Nan Yao Beimo over. Then you will If it's not convenient for you to go back, then I'll go back and pick them up."
Fu Ciyi looked at her condescendingly, his voice indifferent: "If you really win the Jinshi, someone will take care of your family by then, so you don't have to worry. .”
Somehow, he just didn't want her to leave his side.
Even returning to Ling County is not possible.
Yan Funing sighed: "I still have to discuss the restaurant with Uncle Liu."
While speaking, she stood sideways to avoid being too close to him.
The white hands took out the agreement from the sleeve pocket and showed it to him: "Here, I signed it today, and I placed a deposit of one hundred taels."
Fu Ciyi took the paper and looked at the words on it. It was a purchase agreement, and the stern expression on his face softened.
Yan Funing took back the agreement and folded it slowly into its original shape. Her voice was delicate and soft: "The teahouse is asking for three thousand taels. With such a big price, this is the biggest deal I have ever done. I have to do it myself. I told Uncle Liu that I wanted to go back." Fu Ciyi nodded: "We will discuss this matter after the results are released."
Yan Funing thought he agreed, so she smiled. Joking: "Fu Ciyi, are you afraid that I will run away?"
"Do you have this intention?"
When the man spoke, he held her chin.
Did Pang Anmeng really teach her bad things?
"Since I can ask, I don't have the intention."
She raised her little face and raised her eyes to meet his gaze.
If this is the case, you will not feel guilty.
Fu Ciyi looked back at her.
The girl's clear and bright eyes reflected his figure, making him startled.
The eyes of the man in front of her, Furui Mubo, seemed to contain some connotation that she could not understand. Yan Funing suddenly lost the courage to look at him, her eyelashes fluttered, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes.
Fu Ciyi's thumb slowly moved from her chin to the corner of her lips.
The skin under his fingers was soft and tender. He rubbed it several times and slowly lowered his head...
Yan Funing's heartbeat immediately accelerated.
At this moment, Lu Wenfeng's voice came from outside the study: "It's time to drink today, it doesn't matter if you get drunk."
He knocked on the door and raised his voice a lot: "I I’ve brought some good wine, Ciyi, are you here?”
Fu Ciyi raised his hand to his forehead.
Yan Funing took the opportunity to escape from his shackles and opened the study door.
"Wenfeng, you play chess with my husband, and I'll cook."
As he said that, he hurriedly went to the small kitchen.
As if he had just escaped from a savage beast, his little face even turned red.
Seeing this, Lu Wenfeng looked at Fu Ciyi, who was standing facing the wall, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have gotten into trouble.
He is so stupid.
He should have realized it when the study door was closed just now.
Then he awkwardly raised the two bottles of wine he was carrying and asked Fu Ciyi: "Are we still playing chess?"
The question was about playing chess, but what he brought up was flagon.
He hurriedly called Zhang Tie to put the wine pot in the small kitchen.
Fu Ciyi in the study pressed his forehead and said softly: "Play chess."
"Okay." Lu Wenfeng exhaled with relief.
——
It is night, and the men are drinking and having fun.
Not only did he drink up the two bottles of wine that Lu Wenfeng brought, he also drank up the several jars of wine that Yan Funing had prepared.
Drinking until late at night, Lu Wenfeng was very drunk, and was helped back by Zhang Tong and Zhang Tie, who were also very drunk.
Yan Funing watched them enter the house and then returned to her guest house.
In the guest courtyard, someone and Li Xinheng drank too much.
Especially Li Xinheng was very drunk. Fortunately, Caiyu was strong and helped him back to the room easily.
Fu Ciyi was still left in the small kitchen.
Yan Funing saw him getting up unsteadily and quickly supported him: "Wait a moment, Caiyu will help Brother Li, and I will help you."
Who would have thought that he would wrap his long arms around her neck, lower his head and say in her ear: "Madam, help me."
"Can you walk?"
"Joke, Why can't you walk? "
When Caiyu came out of Li Xinheng's room, she saw her young lady and her uncle's heads touching each other.
With this posture, does she want to help others?
While she was thinking about it, Yan Funing saw her figure and hurriedly called her: "Caiyu, come here and help me."
"I want my wife to help me." Fu Ciyi muttered.
Looks very much like Fu Beimo's innocent appearance.
Yan Funing was stunned. (End of this chapter)
