Professor Lis Married Life - Chapter 116
Li Cheng had just returned from a trip to Luo Shengli’s side. Because the two of them had to take an exam this time, it happened that the two of them were in a batch, so they discussed going together.
The road to Gongyuan has to pass through Li’s house, which happens to go together.
At noon, Gu Celadon ate the meal alone, she used less, saying that she had no appetite and couldn’t eat it.
About Li Cheng’s return home, as soon as they returned, the Sun sent them to the east courtyard.
The old lady was nervous, worried about this and that, for fear that there was something wrong with her preparation, or something she didn’t notice.
Gu Celadon knows a lot more. He hadn’t seen anything when he was in the Hou Mansion. Besides, the second wife had asked him early in the morning. The first thing to pay attention to is to keep warm. The body is the most important thing.
The spring in the north is still very cold. In the cold season, you can’t stand the cold without wearing a jacket, but you can’t wear a padded jacket. To prevent people from cheating, you can only wear single clothes.
Fortunately, there was no spring snow this year. This is a blessing. In the past, there have been cases where candidates were fainted by heavy snow.
There are only five sets of single clothes, so I can only find some thick fabrics to make.
No matter how cold it is, then it can only be hard pressed.
Li Cheng looked at the singles that Sun had prepared for him, very helpless. He missed the modern cashmere sweater a little, and the thin one was also very warm.
“Guanguan.” Li Cheng suddenly called to Gu Qingci.
Gu Celadon heard it, raised his head, and squeezed out a smiling young man, and said, “What’s wrong with me?”
Li Cheng glanced at her and sighed, “Grandma just asked you something.” Then he laughed, “It’s for your husband’s exam and not for you. What are you nervous about.”
Gu Celadon lowered his head and said, “But it’s not because I care about mates.”
Sun also laughed.
Seeing that Li Cheng’s expression was relaxed, no different from usual, and his heart was much wider.
In the evening, the two of them were left for dinner, and they were sent over early after the meal, and Li Cheng was told to rest earlier, so that he could have a good exam tomorrow.
It’s still early, and it’s okay to go back, Li Cheng casually copied a book to pass the time.
Didn’t go to the study, just looked in the inner room.
Gu Qingci glanced at his case table and saw his personal seal on the corner of the table.
I walked over, sat down opposite, reached out and picked up the seal and played with it for a while. I found it interesting, so I asked curiously: “Msgong, is this your personal seal.”
This seal is a milky white jade texture, a small long strip, it is carved into a small tiger standing upright.
It is really cute, a bit naive.
Li Cheng looked up, thought for a while, and said, “I used it as a gift from my father that year. The old jade passed down from my family was just the right size. My father asked someone to make this. using.”
Gu Qingci nodded as he listened, and then said: “I think the copybook I learned before Xianggong was Yan style, how come you have rewritten Liu style now?”
Li Cheng paused and said with a smile: “During the enlightenment, my husband asked us to learn the Yan style. Later, I preferred Liu style, so I learned more. Why are officials also interested?”
Gu Celadon shook his head and said with a stern mouth, “No.” She couldn’t persist if she was asked to spend time every day to practice.
She is afraid of being tired and likes to be lazy, unable to write strong calligraphy.
After talking for a while, Gu Celadon asked Li Cheng to wash up and rest early, but he will get up early tomorrow.
This night was the same as usual, but a little different.
The two went to bed early.
When she woke up at five shifts, the maid outside also moved, and she lit the lamp and called people softly, fearing that the master would miss the hour.
Li Cheng quickly dressed and washed and took care of it. Gu Celadon followed along. She wore a short jacket and felt a burst of cold air when she went outside, and she could hear the wind blowing outside.
The two used some hot rice.
Yuanbao Duanyan carefully checked what he was going to bring.
Soon someone came in and replied, saying that Lord Luo’s car was coming.
Li Cheng got up and took the young man out of the second door together, and Gu Celadon followed him to the inner door.
Li Cheng put on her a cape and said warmly: “Go back, it’s cold outside, don’t freeze.”
Gu Qingci raised his head and looked at him like this, but said nothing.
When Li Cheng saw her looking at him with obedient and innocent eyes, his mind was inexplicably moved.
“What’s the matter.” He smiled, and said in a low, tolerant voice.
Gu Qingci shook his head vigorously, and blinked again, “It’s okay, Xiang Gong, you should get in the car quickly, don’t be late.”
She looked at Li Chengze, who turned around and walked into the carriage.
Gu Celadon turned back to the house when he saw that the carriage had gone far and could no longer be seen.
The test is the same as the hometown test, with three tests, each for three days, for a total of nine days.
The exam is the most difficult time, or in the early spring and cold time.
Fortunately, Li Cheng’s physical fitness is good, and he has survived, mainly because the environment in the Gongyuan is a bit difficult.
After nine days in a row, after the last test, Li Cheng really let out a sigh of foul breath.
Yuan Bao hurriedly helped his master to get into the carriage. After a while, Luo Shengli also went out to his carriage. The two greeted each other slightly.
Hot water was already available at home, and Li Cheng washed it from head to toe. He fell asleep before he had time to eat.
After sleeping for a whole day and night, I woke up and regained my spirit the next day.
I felt hungry when I got up, and the maid guarding outside heard the movement and called someone.
Both the Sun family and the Bai family came over, and the two of them asked Li Chengze one by one, asking him if he was uncomfortable, and then asked the doctor to come and get the pulse.
In the end, there was no problem. He just boiled a large bowl of **** soup for him to drink. It was really frozen for the past few days, for fear that he might catch a cold.
After drinking cold **** soup, Gu Celadon instructed the maids to bring meals.
In the Gongyuan room for convenience, I only ate some dry food in the back.
Looking at the warm meal, Li Cheng also ate two bowls.
The spirit of the whole person relaxed.
After the test, you will wait for the results.
Two days later, Li Chengze and Luo Shengli made an appointment to go to the academy together.
Each silently gave out the answers to their own exams and let the husband take a look.
Because the two teachers are different, they will leave when they arrive.
As soon as Li Chengze wrote his answer, he took it and looked at it in his hand. After reading it, his expression was very satisfied, and he couldn’t think of it wrong.
Sure enough, I heard people say: “Eight or nine do not leave ten, this subject should be on the list.”
This was still afraid that Li Cheng would be arrogant, so he didn’t say that if nothing else, his ranking should be in the forefront.
Luo Shengli probably turned out pretty well, with a relaxed expression on his face after coming out.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and both reached out their hands in a please gesture, and then went back together.
In the past few days, the major teahouses and inns in the capital are particularly lively. Students from all over the country who have finished the exam are waiting for their results. They gather together to discuss the content of the exam.
Some people are full of enthusiasm in the spring breeze, while others are depressed.
Li Chengze, Luo Shengli and Qin Ran are in the same department, and they have been frequently invited to these days.
No one dared to say that there was no dryness in his heart. It was Li Chengze, listening to the people in his ear discussing and guessing this every day, his mood fluctuated a little.
Time flickered, and finally the day to be released.
Yuan Bao and Duan Yan went out early in the morning, waiting under the red list.
Far away is a circle of people, squeezing inside like a bunch.
Yuan Bao is illiterate, but he has learned the master’s name at home.
The two went forward desperately, there was a birthmark on Duan Yan’s face, and the people were close to each other. Some people looked at it blankly and were shocked.
Duan Yan can take care of others, and deliberately turned the face of the birthmark to the person, so that people can step back.
With a sound of gongs and drums, the red list was released and hung up.
The next moment is even more noisy. It took a lot of effort for the two to go to the front where they can see the red list clearly, and then look at it from the beginning one by one.
After a while, I heard Duan Yan exclaimed: “I’m hit! I’m hit! Our uncle is hit, eighth!”
Yuan Bao grinned open the corners of his mouth almost immediately, and then followed it along.
It really is eighth! The name, birthplace, number plate, etc. can all be right!
Many people next to him heard that someone had been hit, and they were still eighth, and all were envious!
One or two said congratulations.
The two Yuanbao Duanyans were too happy, and hurriedly quit and rushed home.
If you want to, you have to hurry up and tell the master the good news!
…
Li Cheng won the eighth place.
A huge joy filled the Li family. When the old lady heard the good news at the time, she was almost unhappy and stunned, or the servant kept patting her back, and this tone passed.
Haoxuan didn’t scare Li Baode, for fear that the happy event would make my old lady fall so happy that it would not be beautiful.
Because the ranking was very high, the Annunciation officer quickly arrived on horseback and beat the gongs and drums to announce the announcement. The surrounding neighborhoods all opened their doors and surrounded.
Watch the excitement one by one.
For a while, I was very envious of the Li family, this is truly developed, and it is time to change the door!
In the future, Li Cheng will become an official again, but it is not something they can reach.
Especially the people next door to Li’s family are really mixed.
The neighboring neighbors used to be the same family for decades, but now the Li family has grown up, and his family is still the same.
I think my son also went to a private school with Li Chengze for two years, but he didn’t go to school afterwards.
This person feels unspeakable now, thinking that if his son was forced to study for two more years at that time, maybe her son could pass the exam right now!
I thought about this a lot in my heart, but when I saw the Sun family and the Bai family, people immediately raised their smiles to congratulate them. A series of auspicious words were said without money, and the Sun family smiled.
Li Cheng was admitted to the Jinshi, and the clan room was boiling. Two grandpas came from Hekou Village a few days later, expressing their importance to this matter.
Then he discussed with Li Baode about the banquet, saying that he would go back to Hekou Village for a dinner.
However, the date has not been set yet, and the date will be pushed back.
The current trial is over, but there is still a palace trial, and I can’t let it be taken lightly.
Li’s family is a busy city, more lively than ever before, and friends and relatives are rushing to come to congratulate you.
Fortunately, there are old ladies and Bai’s who are serving and coping, and they don’t need Li Cheng to do anything, so the West Yard is fine.
Only after Li Chengze Dian tried it out, he went home and found that Gu Celadon was in a bad state of mind, and then he knew that she was sick.
“Have you asked the doctor?”
“I have already invited.” Yuzhu quickly replied.
“I was fine yesterday, but I suddenly became sick.” Li Cheng said, touching Gu Celadon’s forehead.
“Is it uncomfortable?” He looked down at the person on the bed.
Some self-blame in my heart, or I was negligent, or I should have discovered it long ago.
Gu Celadon didn’t speak, but looked at each other with dark eyes.
Li Cheng stroked her face.
