Chapter 718 Take a bath

  The man in purple thanked Jiang Youzhi, and quickly sprinkled realgar around his room.

   After an unknown amount of time, I heard firecrackers not far away.

   Everyone knows that this is the entrance of the examiner, ready to start the roll call.

The people around    also returned to the numbered room.

  The exam that took nine days has finally begun.

   In the past few days, Mrs. Wu has been talking about Jiang Youzhi at home every day, and when she was having dinner at night, she said again: "Alas, this exam is really painful."

   "I heard that the room is very small. I can't even stretch my legs at night, and I can't eat anything good. It's really hard."

  Jiang Zhongxing took a chopstick and gave her a dish, "Don't worry about it, your belly is so big, and you are about to give birth, take care of yourself first."

  Gu Yunjiao lowered her head to eat silently. When her parents-in-law showed their affection, she usually pretended to be invisible.

  Gu Yunjiao counted the days with her fingers every day. On the ninth day, Gu Yunjiao rode a carriage to the outside of the Gongyuan early in the morning.

   The Gongyuan has not yet opened, and there are already some young servants waiting at the door.

  Du Ruo squeezed in and stood by the door.

   At the end of the hour, the gate of Gongyuan finally opened.

  A unkempt man walked out with a test basket.

   Then several people came out one after another, all with wrinkled clothes and haggard faces.

  Gu Yunjiao took the palace fan to half cover her face, opened the curtain and looked out.

   Her eyes suddenly lit up, and Jiang Youzhi came out wearing a moon-white robe with barely a single pleat.

   His expression was also haggard, but with his hair neatly combed and his back straight, he stood out among the disgraced scholars.

  Du Ruofei ran forward to take the test basket in his hand and took him to the carriage.

   As soon as he got in the car, Jiang Youzhi hugged Gu Yunjiao tightly.

  Gu Yunjiao's nose moved, "Uh", in her imagination, Jiang Youzhi, who hasn't bathed in nine days, should have turned sour.

   But right now, he didn't have the slightest odor all over his body. She took his head and smelled it on his head. It was quite fragrant, "Did you wash your hair in the exam room?"

  Jiang Youzhi rested his head on Gu Yunjiao's chest and rubbed it, "Well, I washed it last night. I spent some money to get hot water, I also took a shower and changed into clean clothes."

   "Otherwise, I'm afraid you will dislike me."

   Gu Yunjiao laughed a few times, "Are you tired, should you sleep or eat first when you go back?"

  Jiang Youzhi hugged Gu Yunjiao's waist and said coquettishly, "Take a bath and sleep, but you have to accompany me."

  Gu Yunjiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "Okay."

   The two of them carried them all the way back to the Duke's Mansion.

   Jiang Youzhi went back to his house to meet Mrs. Wu first, and when he returned to his yard, the bath water was ready.

  Gu Yunjiao asked someone to put some essential oils in it, Jiang Youzhi came out of the bath, and the whole person seemed to be alive.

   He picked up Gu Yunjiao, who was sitting at the table, and walked towards the big bed with the cyan gauze curtain.

   During these nine days, he didn't feel very bitter.

  When I was in the countryside, I never experienced any hardship.

   It's just that he wanted Jiaojiao too much, and now he finally held her in his arms, but he still felt that it wasn't enough, he wanted more.

  The door was closed by a sensible color screen. She moved a chair and sat under the porch, slowly doing needlework.

  ・・・

   After the exam, Jiang Youzhi doesn't have to go to the Imperial College anymore.

   Sometimes he helps Gu Yunjiao to run the workshop, and sometimes he reads books at home.

   Released on September 8th.

  This morning, before dawn, Butler Lin sent a few literate servants to guard the place where the list was posted.
