Chapter 201 Xie Yuan’s foresight
Xie Yuan came back not too late. Jiang Mingyue had just finished washing up at that time. She smelled that he smelled heavily of alcohol and knew that his clothes might have blocked a lot of alcohol for him today.
However, Jiang Mingyue let him drink a bowl of hangover soup because she was afraid that the man would feel uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning.
Xie Yuan put down the empty bowl and said warmly: "The matter is done. You can rest first. I will be here soon."
Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue stood up on her tiptoes and kissed the man's cheek.
"Thank you for your hard work, husband!"
Xie Yuan gently touched his wife's little head, turned around and entered the bathroom.
He freshened up and returned to the bedroom, and found that his wife had fallen asleep, with a corner of the quilt pressed under her, and her black hair spread behind her, giving her an alluring aura under the red light.
Xie Yuan stood by the bed and did not get on the bed immediately. He looked down at her for a while, then leaned over to pick her up and took out the quilt that was pressing her on her body.
Jiang Mingyue was drowsily asleep, kicked her feet, and said in a soft voice: "Sleepy..."
Xie Yuan kissed the person in his arms comfortingly, rearranged the quilt, gently placed the person on the bed, took off his clothes and slept beside her, stretched out his hand to take his wife into his arms, and kissed her first. Kiss her forehead, then her lips...
In the past, Jiang Mingyue often heard from her close friends that men were in a better mood after drinking. At that time, she had no idea. Today, she finally realized it. In the end, Jiang Mingyue didn't know when she fell asleep.
The next day she slept until midnight before waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, the deep voice of the man next to her came to her.
"Are you thirsty? Do you want a glass of water?"
Jiang Mingyue ignored him. When she lay down and stretched, the soreness all over her body suddenly reminded her of what happened last night. This was the first time since the two got married that she cried and begged for mercy. In normal times, the man would have coaxed her away. She was coaxed last night, but the coaxing was quite insincere, and her movements did not slow down at all.
Xie Yuan walked to the bedside with a glass of warm water and sat down, looking at his wife tenderly.
"I'll give you some water!"
Jiang Mingyue looked at the handsome face close at hand, raised her hand and weakly pushed him down, and said in a weak voice: "I hate it, my whole body is sore and painful."
Xie Yuan put the tea cup aside, stretched out his hand to brush away the black hair on her cheek, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek and said softly: "I'm sorry, be gentle next time. I'll give it to you again after breakfast." How about applying some medicine?"
Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue lifted up the quilt and took a sniff. Sure enough, she smelled a faint scent of medicine. She knew that the man had applied medicine to her afterwards, which made her feel much better.
"thirsty!"
Xie Yuan hugged him and the quilt together.
Jiang Mingyue drank three glasses of water in a row, closed her eyes again, looked relaxed, and leaned in his arms with peace of mind.
Xie Yuan gently stroked her black hair and asked warmly: "Sleepy?"
Jiang Mingyue only knew "um huh" and didn't bother to say anything.
"How about eating something to cushion your stomach before sleeping?"
Jiang Mingyue didn't even bother to open her eyes, she buried her face in his arms and pretended to sleep.
Xie Yuan hugged his wife without disturbing her. He gently patted her back and reached out to take the book on the table.
It was the end of noon when Jiang Mingyue woke up again. After sleeping for so long, she finally felt energetic. She had lunch with the man. The two went into the study together, where the man read and Jiang Mingyue made clothes.
Time passed quickly, and it was already five days later. On the afternoon of February 15th, Jiang Mingyue got up from her lunch break. After listening to Pingguo's report, she told Xie Yuan and her younger brother had been busy in the kitchen for a long time. Out of curiosity, she walked in and asked, "You guys?" doing what?"
"Brother-in-law is making noodles for me to eat in the exam room tomorrow."
Jiang Mingyue stepped forward and took a look and found that there were not only sesame seeds but also peanuts and lard in the fried noodles. It can be said that it was very hungry.
"Can't you bring pastries, steamed buns, etc.?" Jiang Mingyue asked curiously.
"Yes, but the officers will inspect it very strictly. They will break it into small pieces, and they will inspect more than just the younger brother. That hand has touched so many things from morning to night..."
Jiang Mingyue interrupted her husband directly.
"Stop talking, I understand."
Xie Yuan smiled when he heard this and lowered his head to continue frying noodles.
On February 16th, before Yinshi was half past, Jiang Mingyue and the others had already gotten up because today was the day of the county examination.
It was quite late for them to get up. If their family was in the village, ugly things would happen. Xie Yuan said that when he took the county examination, he set off just after midnight. From this we can imagine that it is really not easy for scholars in this era.
Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan didn't have much appetite after getting up so early, so they just specially prepared some food for their brother.
While Jiang Minghong was eating, Jiang Mingyue put pens, fried noodles and other things into the test basket. When the three of them went out at the end of Yin Shi, Xie Yuan took two umbrellas with him.
As soon as they walked out of Zaolin Hutong, it started to rain. Although the rain was not heavy, it was dense and dense. The three of them quickly opened their umbrellas.
"Ms. sir, you still have the foresight." Jiang Mingyue looked at the man and praised him. It was still very cold in early spring. If you caught a cold in the examination room after getting caught in the rain, it would be fatal.
Xie Yuan held an umbrella with one hand and held his wife's hand with the other and said warmly: "It's just that I have experienced too much."
He paused and looked at Jiang Minghong: "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold, it's very warm!"
The three of them walked as they talked. The county government office was not far from where they lived. It took the three of them a stick of incense to get there. It was still dark at that time, and only the lanterns at the entrance of the county government office were emitting light. With a faint light.
Perhaps because of the rain, there was some confusion among the people waiting in line to enter the examination room.
Xie Yuan glanced at the crowd in line, led his brother to the group with fewer people, and reminded: "Some people hold their umbrellas lower, be careful not to hurt your face with the umbrella."
After hearing this, Jiang Mingyue glanced at the crowds on both sides, and it turned out that this was indeed the case.
Of course, it's not that they don't want to stand taller, but because they are relatively short and can only stand so high. Some oil-paper umbrellas have very sharp edges, and they might poke their faces if they are not careful. Xie Yuan is really careful.
"I'll be careful. It's cold. Sister and brother-in-law, please go back quickly!"
"No rush, we'll go back after you enter the examination room."
Jiang Mingyue paused and asked, "Xiao Hong, have you seen anyone in your class?"
Since arriving at the county government, Jiang Minghong has been looking for him. Unfortunately, it was too dark and everyone was holding umbrellas because of the rain, so it was impossible to tell who was who.
"no!"
While the three of them were chatting, there was a sudden commotion in front of them, and Xie Yuan looked far away.
"It looks like someone fainted."
It would be difficult to take part in the county examination if he fainted at this time. His previous efforts were in vain, and he would have to work hard for another year. Thinking of this, Jiang Mingyue looked at the people around him and said, "How about we go and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuan immediately guessed what his wife was thinking.
"Can!"
The two of them gave Xiao Hong a few words and walked forward holding an umbrella. They found that the person who fainted was a young man. He was pale, thin and wearing an old cotton-padded jacket that didn't fit well. Judging from his appearance, he must have caught a cold. for the sake of.
