Chapter 44 Farmer's Imperial Examination 10

I will try it when Jia Huan only eats one meal a day.

There is no way, even if his sense of smell is blocked, he will not be able to survive mentally and cannot eat in such an environment.

The candidates opposite him were as miserable as him.

However, this candidate is from a poor family and has endured hardships, as can be seen from the clothes he wears.

Therefore, even if the smell was unbearable, the candidates still forced themselves to eat.

Nine days later, this candidate walked out of the examination room with a wave of steps.

Jia Huan followed him and reached out to support the candidate at the moment he fainted.

There was no scholar or relative to pick up the candidate, so Jia Huan and Shi Zeyu took him back to their yard.

Well, because of the smell of this person, Jia Huan did not bring him into the house. Instead, he asked Shi Zeyu to move a couch in the yard and let him put it on the couch.

Pu Chenghong woke up faintly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw stars all over the sky.

His memory came back, and he fell into a coma as soon as he left the examination room, so he was lying on the street.

But then, the touch underneath him and the thin quilt covering him told him that he was not lying dead on the street, but had been rescued.

He slowly sat up, looked around, and found that he was sitting on a bamboo couch.

The bamboo couch is covered with a fur mattress, so even if it is February weather, the person sleeping on it will not feel cold.

The bamboo couch was placed in the yard outside the house. After thinking about it, Pu Chenghong understood the owner's thoughts and couldn't help but blush.

His whole body stinks now. No wonder the owner didn't bring him into the house.

It is a kindness of the owner to provide him with a bed, mattress and quilt.

Why don't he wash the dirty and smelly mattress and quilt with his own hands?

Feeling the movement outside the house, the owner of the house opened the door and walked out.

It was a pair of young people, and the young man among them was the one who gave Pu Chenghong a mask in the examination room.

Pu Chenghong was very grateful to this young man. If it had not been for the mask that the young man provided him, he would not have been able to survive these nine days.

Pu Chenghong immediately stood up and bowed to the young man again.

The young man returned the gift and said with a smile: "Brother, don't blame us for not inviting you into the house."

"Don't complain, don't complain." Pu Chenghong said quickly, "I have a stench on my body and I shouldn't have entered the master's house."

Pu Chenghong looked at the sky and wanted to say goodbye.

Jia Huan said: "It's already dark. If you don't mind, brother, you can stay here for one night."

Seeing Pu Chenghong's hesitation, he added: "My brother-in-law has already boiled the hot water. Brother, you can wash up first."

"Then I'll trouble you two." Pu Chenghong agreed immediately after hearing that he could take a bath immediately to wash away the stinky smell.

What's more, it's already very late. If I go back to the inn now, I'm afraid the inn door will be closed.

Although this is the capital city and the security is better than other places, it is night after all, so who knows what hidden dangers there may be.

Shi Zeyu not only prepared hot water, but also bought a set of clothes for Pu Chenghong to change into.

Seeing that Pu Chenghong's financial situation was not good, Shi Zeyu bought clothes made of the most common fabrics.

Seeing the clothes, Pu Chenghong felt grateful for Shi Zeyu's thoughtfulness.

Both of these brothers are good people!

Pu Chenghong sighed and quickly took a shower and changed clothes.

The stench was washed away, and Pu Chenghong pinched the small and delicate paste in his hand in surprise.

This paste is very fragrant and has a better effect on cleaning dirt. I don’t know what it is.

If Jia Huan knew his doubts, he would answer them for him.

This is soap.

This thing was made when Jia Lang was still here, but it was very expensive and not suitable for making and selling.

All the batches of soap produced by Jia Lang at that time were kept in the Jia family, and the Jia family were reluctant to use them.

This time Jia Huan went out, Lu packed two pieces for Jia Huan.

After cleaning himself up, Pu Chenghong went out, and Shi Zeyu had already served him a hot meal.

It was not rich, just a bowl of porridge, two meat buns and a pile of side dishes, but Pu Chenghong was extremely satisfied with the meal.

Shi Zeyu has moved the bed back to the house, and Pu Chenghong no longer has to sleep outside the house that night.

The next day, Pu Chenghong solemnly thanked Jia Huan and Shi Zeyu again and returned to the inn.

After checking out of the inn, Pu Chenghong left the city and returned to the temple where he had stayed.

Such a time difference caused him to miss the person who wanted to win over him.

That person was just trying to win over some promising candidates at random, and threw them aside when he didn't see them.

After all, the results of the general examination have not yet come out. Who knows whether Pu Chenghong has passed the Jinshi examination.

Even if he passed the exam, he would only be starting from a junior official and would not be worthy enough to be used by his master.

In this way, Pu Chenghong escaped perfectly.

There were also people on Jia Huan's side who wanted to win over him, but no one found his whereabouts, and those efforts to win over him couldn't proceed at all.

Jia Huan was nestling in Jia Jingyi's Zhuangzi at this time. Over the years, Jia Jingyi also conquered several confidants.

After recovering his memory, Jia Jingyi used these confidants to completely control Zhuangzi in his own hands.

Chu Wenyao didn't know that his son, whom he thought was under good control, had escaped his control.

Jia Huan was lying on the lounge chair.

This recliner was also "invented" by Jia Lang. After Jia Jingyi regained his memory, he had two made.

At this time, he and Jia Huan occupied one room each, and Shi Zeyu could only sit on the wooden chair opposite them and share the information he had found with them.

General Affairs Minister Yang Chengyun thought he was a smart man. Seeing that the emperor was old, he began to choose his next family.

He jumped between the two princes, thinking that he had the prince under his control.

But it was just because the emperor and the two princes did not know that he was a duplicitous person, they trusted him and did not investigate him.

In fact, as long as the emperor was willing to investigate, the things Yang Chengyun did could not be hidden from the emperor at all.

Yang Chengyun had a wide network of contacts in the court, and he had many daughters, all of whom were used to win over the ministers and military generals.

It is precisely because of his connections that the princes all want to win over Yang Chengyun for their own use.

In fact, his actions should be feared by those in power.

I don’t know if the emperor’s eyes were blinded by SHI and he didn’t realize it.

Jia Huan thought that if the emperor couldn't find out, they could ask someone to tell the emperor and let the emperor find out.

Shi Zeyu: "Concubine Shu's nephew likes to eat steamed seabass from Yanyulou."

Jia Huan smiled: "That must be delicious, let's go and taste it."

The three met each other, smiled, and stood up, ready to set off.

Concubine Shu is the mother-in-law of the eldest prince, and her brother and Yang Chengyun are political enemies.

If Concubine Shu's family knew about Yang Chengyun's plans, they would surely reach the emperor's ears soon.

After this...

Yang Chengyun, just wish yourself good luck!
