After Shen Ling handed over the pamphlet, he stopped thinking about it, and followed Zheng Ming wholeheartedly to prepare for the future county test.

He was a little tired from studying in the study at night, so he blew out the candles, closed the doors and windows, and quietly went to the space to relax. After upgrading the space to level 2, the black land has increased to 100 square meters, almost the size of a flower garden. On it were planted peonies, roses, jasmine, and two pots of orchids that Zheng Tang gave him.

Feeling the fresh air in the space and the fragrant floral fragrance, Shen Ling felt that the boss was clear. Then he simply did some stretching exercises and then started running around the black ground.

No way, the ancient imperial examination room conditions were too simple, and the county examination time was set in the cold spring of February. If you don't do some physical exercises, you will have a headache and brain fever at that time.

It's just that classes are held during the day, and there is a curfew outside at night. In the end, Shen Ling could only choose to exercise in the space. Anyway, he would blow out the candles every time he entered the space, and no one would have discovered the problem.

Shen Ling ran for half an hour before slowly stopping, and then wiped off the sweat on his body to make room. Shen Ling lit the blown out candle, read the book for a while, felt really sleepy, and went back to the wing to rest.

Lan Zhu was drinking soup made with pheasants that Zheng Tang brought back from Ji County. Since the first three months, her appetite has been getting bigger and bigger. Every time she finished eating, she felt hungry less than two hours later. Shen Ling was afraid that the fetus was too big to be conducive to fertility.

As he studied harder and longer, Huang and Lan Zhu also respected his opinions more and more. Even though Huang wanted to let Lan Zhu let go and eat, he just said a few words. After Shen Ling explained the truth to her in detail, Lan Zhu also began to control her appetite. I was too hungry, so I ate some dried fruits, but didn't dare to eat more.

After Lan Zhu finished drinking the soup, Huan Xiaoer came in to clean up the soup bowl, and said to Shen Ling: "It will be more than half a month before Brother Tang will get married. Do you think about what gift you want to give him?"

Shen Ling was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He became more energetic after hearing this, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Lan Zhu walked up to him with his belly, and while helping him to take off his clothes, he said, "Today, when my aunt came and talked to his mother-in-law, it was a pretty to mention that brother Tang's undocumented daughter-in-law. She disliked the one they sent here. The style of silver jewellery is old. I remember that when we got married, there was a pair of magpie and plum hairpins in the dowry presented by your family. It was very new and I hadn’t worn it before. It’s better to use it to add makeup. You can see. Make?"

Shen Ling glanced at her head, there was a half-old silver hairpin inserted there, and couldn't help but said, "Then why don't you wear it?"

Lan Zhu smiled embarrassedly: "I have a temper. Regardless of clothes and jewelry, I only want to wear what I'm used to. Whenever I put on a new dress, I have to be awkward for a few days. I have to wear old clothes. Like. This hairpin, this one on my head has been worn since I was a teenager, and I have been wearing it until now, and I think it’s pretty good."

Shen Ling smiled and said, "You really save money for your mate. Then, let the magpie climb the plum hairpin, you can add makeup to Brother Tang's unprepared daughter-in-law. I will buy you some jewelry in the future. As for Tang, Brother’s gift, let me think about it again!"

Later, Lan Zhu took advantage of the opportunity to add makeup to Zheng Tang's undocumented wife, and looked at the other party Haosheng before returning to talk to Shen Ling. Although Shen Ling is now in the body of a man, he still retains a daughter's heart inside, such as his love of listening to gossip.

So Lan Zhu said, he listened carefully.

"That girl is really worthy of Brother Tang. She looks white and knows how to dress up. I don't know why, but she is only one year younger than me, but she looks like a few years younger than me. She is delicate and tender, wearing pink clothes, like a flower."

"Is the light white, how are the eyebrows?" Shen Ling asked.

Lan Zhu thought for a while: "If you want to say how long it is, that's not all. The thin eyes and oval face are not outstanding, but they just think they look good, white, delicate and tender. "

Shen Ling understood: "I see, that girl is not very good, but has a unique charm. No wonder Brother Tang is reluctant to say no even if he asks for more gifts."

Lan Zhu didn't understand what the charm was, but thought it was a good thing. When she heard her husband praise other women, she could not help but knocked over the jealousy, her tone was a little unpleasant, "Why, regret marrying someone who has no charm like me?"

Shen Ling was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Lan Zhu said such an irrelevant sentence, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Over there, Lan Zhu didn't hear Shen Ling's response, thinking that he had hit his heart, a sorrow surged up, tears welled up in his eyes, and immediately began to cry.

Shen Ling said hurriedly: "Okay, why are you crying?"

Lan Zhu choked up and said, "You all hate me, can I not cry?"

Shen Ling only felt dumbfounded for a while. Although he didn't understand where the words came from, he still offered some kind words to persuade him. Lan Zhu stopped crying for a while, and Lan Zhu explained the reason: "In the future, in front of me, don't praise other women." After speaking, she felt a little embarrassed, so she covered her face with a veil, "Neither Knowing what's going on, these eye sockets are very shallow recently, and it's easy to cry."

Shen Ling said: "It's probably because you are pregnant. So you are more sensitive than usual. I won't say these things anymore."

After Lan Zhu said that, she regretted it. She thought that her husband would feel unreasonable to make trouble, but he was very happy to know that he immediately agreed to his request. Currently serving her husband diligently to wash, Shen Ling only finds it funny, so she will do some work within her capacity, and then each rests to sleep.

On the day Zheng Tang got married, Shen Ling had already taken leave from Zheng Ming before. After reading the book for a whole morning, he went to the Yinlou to buy a pair of silver vases as a gift at noon and then received the Zheng family.

Zheng Huai had been close to Shen Ling recently and had also bought a few books from Zheng Tang's bookstore. On the day of marriage, he also took leave from Xueli. His home is far from Zheng Tang's home, and it took a long time for Shen Ling to see him come in.

Several classmates from the ethics school came in one after another from behind, and everyone spontaneously sat together, talking and eating tea fruit. Not long after the kitchen set up a banquet, Zheng Tang came out to toast the wine, everyone sat for more than an hour, and when it was the auspicious time to welcome the relatives, the outside began to boast.

Worshiped the world and entered the bridal chamber. Zheng Tang came out to toast again, and the chef reorganized the new noodles. When everyone sat down and held the lights, they dispersed.

Shen Ling was afraid that the smell of wine would smoke Lan Zhu, so he washed in the study and then went to the hall to talk to Huang for a while before returning to the wing.

Lan Zhu sat under the lamp to make shoes for the unborn child. Shen Ling took out a water magnolia flower hairpin from her arms and smiled and handed it to her eyes, "I saw this hairpin when I went to the Yinlou today. I think it suits you. So I bought it."

Lan Zhu groaned: "I said, the hairpin on my head is pretty good. What are you buying this for?"

Shen Ling couldn't help but said that she put the hairpin on her hair bun, and then took the bronze mirror for her to see. That water magnolia flower hairpin was one of the jewellery that Mrs. Hou gave to Shen Ling. Although the workmanship was not high-quality, the style was very unique. After Lan Zhu put it on, she felt that the hairpin was very suitable for her.

It's just that although she likes this hairpin, she still reluctant to wear it. Shen Ling did not reluctantly, his current thoughts are all on the county test held in February. After Zheng Tang got married, he was closer to the county test. Zheng Ming still gave them some questions, because this was the first county test after he took over the clan school, and he wanted to make some results again, so he paid more attention to the next county test than Shen Ling. House test.

In such intense and substantial pre-test training, the new year is coming soon.

Zheng Ming didn't give them a month off until the middle of the twelfth lunar month. Before the holiday, he repeatedly told Shen Ling several people that they must review their homework at home and never slacken their efforts.

No matter what others thought, Shen Ling took his words to heart anyway. He still wakes up early every day to study, recites what Zheng Ming has explained in the morning, and reads the revised articles in the afternoon.

When Zhuo'er Chuan Huang told him to go to the hall, Shen Ling was reciting his revised article. Hearing that Huang was looking for him for something, he guessed that he was going to discuss giving Zheng Ming a gift, so he temporarily put down the article on hand and went to the main room.

Sure enough, Huang called him to come over for this matter. She told Shen Ling a few things she had planned and asked him what he meant.

Shen Ling said: "I sent some fish to my husband's house earlier, and the servant who collected the fish told me that in addition to his favorite fish, he also likes to grow orchids. It happened that Zheng Tang brought me two pots from Ji County a few days ago. I have kept the orchid in the study room. After a few days, I will send the things my mother prepared along with the orchid to the husband." He has always locked the study room, except for him, no one else can get in, so He alone knows whether there are orchids in it.

Huang nodded after hearing it, "Since you know it in your heart, then I'm relieved."

At the end of the year, Shen Ling prepared all the gifts and went to Zheng Ming's house. When he went there, Zheng Ming just woke up from a nap, and he was in a good mood. Hearing that he had brought two pots of orchids, he asked the porter to call him in.

After Shen Ling went in, Zheng Ming first glanced at the orchid he had brought and tasted it carefully before telling him about the county test in February.

Zheng Ming said, "I estimate that there will be more than 300 candidates in this county exam. Are you confident that you can bring me the first case?"

Shen Ling was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "To tell the truth, sir, the student has never had such an idea. It would be pretty good to be on the list."

Zheng Ming glanced at him displeasedly: "What is being on the list? You have been studying with me for so long. If you are only on the list, then I should be ashamed." Then he said, "Go back and review your homework. If you can’t get a case chief in this county test, you won’t have to study with me anymore.” After speaking, he walked away.
