I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 311

  Chapter 311 tricky exam questions

  The night is as thick as black flannelette, dotted with stars, as brilliant as diamonds.

  Shen Yao stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking up at the stars in the night sky, his heart still.

  Until Ji Zhao deliberately slowed down his steps, wrapping his hands around his waist and abdomen.

   “What are you thinking?” Ji Zhao asked softly.

   “I’m thinking about today’s exam questions.” Shen Yao turned around, hugged her with a smile, and explained softly, “This year’s exam questions are a little different from previous years.”

  Although his grades were replaced four years ago, Shen Yao has been paying attention to the exam questions over the years.

“Actually, the test questions in these years’ township examinations are all the same, and the test questions in previous years are also very empty, and it is not difficult to answer. In addition, most of the articles written by most people who have been able to go to high school in previous years are full of rhetoric. But this year’s test questions are not It came to fruition.”

   “If a certain state and county suffers from years of drought and locusts pass through the border, what should those in power do?” Shen Yao said with a light smile, “This is today’s exam question.”

   “This exam question?” Ji Zhao was also very surprised.

   Isn’t this what they experienced in Dingyuan County?

   “This test question is not tailor-made for you, is it?” Ji Zhao suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

  Shen Yao didn’t know either, but this exam question was indeed a coincidence for him.

“By the way, Big Brother Qin came to see me today, and he invited us to his birthday party!” Ji Zhao changed the topic with a smile, “Shall we go together then? When you finish the last exam, we Let’s go pick out a gift for him together?”

   “Okay,” Shen Yao agreed with a smile, and couldn’t help but pinch her face, “I listen to the lady.”

   Hearing the sound of a lady, Ji Zhao shyly buried his head in his arms.

  The crescent moon that saw this scene also quietly hid in the dark clouds.

  August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

   It is also the last round of the provincial examination.

  The time for the exam was set at the quarter of the clock, and the moment the bell rang, the examinees could start writing.

  When Shen Yao opened the exam questions again, surprise flashed across his eyes.

  The last exam question is really interesting.

  The test question turned out to be a short story. A cow was sick, and the cowman sent it to the veterinarian. The veterinarian checked it, but found that the cow was already terminally ill and could not be eaten at all.

  The cowman was heartbroken and sold the cow at a low price, but the butcher who bought the cow was the younger brother of the veterinarian. In fact, the cow was not sick at all.

   After the cowman knew the truth, he went to the veterinarian to argue, but the veterinarian retorted that the cow had an infectious disease, and instead asked the cowman for money to treat the disease. The veterinarian’s younger brother, the butcher, also argued unreasonably, accusing the cow husband of deliberately selling the sick cow to him with ill intentions. But he didn’t know right from wrong. The cow husband didn’t expect that he, the bitter master, would turn into a vicious party instead, and finally committed suicide by biting his tongue in the lobby.

   Later, Niu Fu’s wife sold all her belongings full of hatred, dragged her family to the government office, and sounded the drum of grievances.

  Candidates need to answer, if they are governors, how should they deal with this matter when faced with two sides who disagree.

  This exam question is really tricky.

  After all, no one knows whether the cow is a sick cow or not.

  Many examinees were scratching their heads and looking dazed.

  Only Shen Yao, after reading the topic, started writing immediately, and wrote it in a short while.

   As the invigilator, Qin Chen felt his eyes brighten up when he saw the paper written by Shen Yao, and his eyes were refreshed!

  The last question of this year’s rural examination was written by His Majesty today, and I heard that Prince Xian also participated in it.

  Your Majesty and Prince Xian are the same mother and compatriot, both descended from the current Empress Dowager, and Prince Xian is also trusted by His Majesty.

  Although Prince Xian has only reached the crown now, his military exploits are incomparably outstanding.

Seven years ago, the thirteen-year-old Prince Xian became famous in the first battle, and after returning to the court, he handed over the military power, but His Majesty was reluctant to take over; afterward, Prince Xian stayed in the court, but he rarely Seldom express opinions on government affairs.

  Until the beginning of this year, Prince Xian had an audience with him suddenly, and then the township examination added such a tricky question.

  Qin Chen thought he had read sage books for many years, but faced with such tricky exam questions, he was a little helpless.

  He was even a little worried that there were very few people who could make the list in this provincial examination.

   It wasn’t until he saw Shen Yao’s answer sheet that he realized the true meaning of Prince Xian’s question.

  Yinchuan Inn.

  Ji Zhao made some snowy mooncakes again, and prepared some exquisite food boxes to put the mooncakes inside.

“Madam is really ingenious.” After tasting a piece of ice skin mooncake stuffed with red bean paste, shopkeeper Qian gave Ji Zhao a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart, “I have tried many mooncakes, but the taste of those mooncakes is not as good as Madam made these ice skin mooncakes!”

“If shopkeeper Qian likes to eat, eat two more yuan.” Ji Zhao put a few mooncakes in front of shopkeeper Qian, “In addition to the ones with bean paste filling, I also made some mooncakes with lotus paste filling and winter melon filling, but As for me, the best thing here is the stuffed egg yolk.”

   “How dare you?” Shopkeeper Qian waved his hands again and again, “How about this, madam, can you sell me this mooncake?”

“Treasurer Qian, our husband and wife have been bothering a lot during this period, and you have arranged our three meals properly. I also borrow the kitchen of the inn from time to time.” Ji Zhao said very frankly, “These mooncakes should be If you refuse to accept a little love from our couple, I will not accept it!”

   Seeing that he really couldn’t refuse, shopkeeper Qian had no choice but to accept the mooncakes, but he secretly made up his mind that if the Shens and his wife had any orders in the future, he would definitely not refuse!

   “By the way, I heard that Madam is going to open a restaurant in Fucheng?” Shopkeeper Qian suddenly thought of something, and asked with concern, “I wonder if Madam has chosen the location of this shop?”

“Brother Qin helped choose three shops, but my husband is going to take an exam during this period, so I haven’t had time to visit yet.” Ji Zhao explained while loading mooncakes, “But we must live in Fucheng for a long time. In a few days, let’s look for a suitable house first, and then take a look at the shop after we settle down.”

“Ma’am, there are at least a dozen restaurants in our Yunchuan Mansion. If you want to open a restaurant, you still need to pay more attention.” Shopkeeper Qian said quickly, “For example, the largest restaurant in Fucheng Tianxianglou, their roast duck is a must; literati and elegant guests love to go to Gaoshenglou, in fact, the food taste of this Gaoshenglou is average, but the owner behind the scenes is rich and powerful. Taiwan singing opera. Other restaurants also have their own merits.”

“Actually, as early as when I came up with the idea of ​​opening a restaurant in Fucheng, Brother Qin said that there are many restaurants in Fucheng, and it is not easy for Chunfeng Restaurant to occupy a place in Fucheng.” Ji Zhao said with a shallow smile, “However, I think with my cooking skills, I can definitely do this!”
