Chapter 206: There are too many chores at home, I can't calm down
"Hongyan, how did you feel about setting up the stall today?" Xia Weiwei fell asleep, so Yang Biao wanted to find out about the situation of the three women one by one.
"I'm fine, but Minzhi is pregnant. Is it okay for her to follow us out like this?" Hongyan didn't think selling wontons was tiring, but she was a little worried about the pregnant Tan Minzhi.
"It's okay. Let her sit aside and make wontons. She won't come into contact with others and won't get bumped into anything." As long as the woman doesn't do any heavy work while she is pregnant, proper exercise is still very beneficial.
Yang Biao sat on the chair and started reading a book.
"Yang Biao," seeing that he had finished reading a book, Hong Yan, who was practicing calligraphy nearby, put down her brush, walked over, put her hand on his shoulder, and hugged him and kissed him.
"Minzhi, Ahua, are you two tired today?" Maybe Hongyan was also tired from running the stall today, and the two of them didn't do much sports, so she fell asleep quickly.
"Master, we are not tired." The two women quickly got off the bed and stood respectfully aside.
"Oh, Minzhi is pregnant, is it a problem?" Although he felt that pregnant women needed proper exercise, Yang Biao still wanted to ask whether selling wontons was appropriate for her. After all, if she had a miscarriage, it would be very harmful to the girl's body.
"Grandpa, I also worked in the fields in my hometown. This kind of work is not tiring enough for me." Tan Minzhi felt that this kind of work was much easier than what she did in her hometown.
And she lived with Tan in Xia Yuxuan's house. Not only did she have to do the work of a servant, but she was also beaten and scolded by her cousin from time to time.
Tan thought that she had brought her from the countryside to the capital to enjoy a good life and fed her three meals a day. How could she live such a good life in her hometown? She wanted her to always be grateful for all the wonderful life she had brought her.
But with Yang Biao, there is no beating or scolding, and there is no endless work to do all day long.
She also met a new friend of similar age, with whom she could play around freely, which made her feel more relaxed and comfortable.
"Oh, what about Ahua, are you tired?" Tan Minzhi didn't feel tired, so Yang Biao turned his gaze to Liao Panhua.
"Master, I also had to work at home before. This little bit of work won't be a problem for me." Liao Panhua, who was wearing his underwear, lowered his head with a red face.
"You two, go back to bed and cover yourself with the quilt. Don't catch a cold." Seeing Liao Panhua's blushing face, Yang Biao remembered Xia Weiwei who had a high fever. He pulled them both to bed, helped cover them with the quilt, blew out the light and left.
"Madam, I'm going to stay in the mountains for a few days." After returning to the house, Yang Biao carried Xia Weiwei, who was sitting and sewing clothes for the child, to the bed and told her about his plan.
"Why do we want to go to the mountains?" Xia Weiwei touched his chin and asked puzzledly.
"Well, there are just too many chores at home and I can't calm down, so I want to go out and relax." Yang Biao could actually concentrate on reading despite the noise, he was just looking for an excuse to go out.
"Oh, okay, but what if I miss you?" Xia Weiwei hugged him and kissed his face.
"Well, I won't stay long. I'll be back in half a month at most." She is still in confinement after giving birth, and her work and rest schedule during this period is irregular day and night. Yang Biao thought about taking part in the imperial examination and didn't tell her about it, so as to avoid her going to the Imperial Academy to accompany him and get exposed to the wind and ruin her body.
"Half a month? So long?" When Xia Weiwei heard that he was going to stay in the mountains for half a month, she immediately jumped out of bed. She disagreed.
"Yes, half a month. You haven't finished your confinement yet when I came back. You need to have a good rest, okay?" Yang Biao held back his laughter and pulled her back into the quilt.
"Are you going alone?" Xia Weiwei looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was going to take his little girl with him.
"You! I'm going there to study quietly, not to travel. Do I have to bring a beautiful woman with me?" Yang Biao tapped her forehead. What was she thinking about?
"Oh, okay." As long as he didn't bring women with him, she could barely accept it.
"You, now that you're a mother, are still so easily startled. Be careful not to set a bad example for your children." The dignified and elegant young lady is gone, replaced by the young wife who gets angry for no reason.
But Yang Biao still likes the Xia Weiwei in front of him, a flesh-and-blood wife who can cry, laugh and make noises, a wife with a strong sense of life.
"It's not all your fault. You always say whatever you want to say, eat, or do in front of you. You can do whatever you want. Don't be so rigid."
It took her almost four years to slowly get used to doing anything in front of him without restraint.
"Well, I hope you'll keep it that way, ma'am. I like it very much." Yang Biao hugged her. He had been busy all day and felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes.
"Okay, then don't regret it later." Xia Weiwei touched his eyebrows affectionately, thinking that if only she had a legendary treasure bag, she could put him in it and take him out to look at him when she missed him.
"Wow, there are so many people." Jiang Sheng drove Yang Biao to the Imperial Examination Hall. When he arrived at the place, he lifted the curtain of the car and was shocked by the huge crowds of people.
"Master, I heard that there are more than 70,000 people taking the exam this time. This is not a lot." Jiang Sheng had been in charge of the security of the Imperial Examination Hall before. He got off the horse, still holding the reins in his hand, and stood together with Lu Gang and the other nine people.
"Oh, there weren't so many people when I took the provincial examination," Yang Biao got off the car. Moreover, they were clearing the way beside him, allowing him to pass smoothly without coming into contact with other people.
"Master, the validity period of the Juren certificate is only three years, otherwise the number of candidates would be even greater." Jiang Sheng pulled the irrelevant people aside while speaking.
"Take off your pants!" The soldiers in charge of the inspection divided the people into more than ten places according to the provinces. Yang Biao found the sign of Guangping Prefecture and lined up for inspection.
"Your clothes." Yang Biao, naked and with disheveled hair, picked up his clothes and found a corner to put them on.
After getting dressed, I handed my number plate to a soldier guarding the room, who then led me to my assigned examination seat.
The two of them kept walking forward. According to the convention, talking was prohibited in the examination room. When they arrived at his cell, the soldier returned the number plate to Yang Biao and left.
The cell that caught Yang Biao's eyes had walls on three sides, with only the south side having no door. It was wide open, with an area of less than two square meters. Food and lodging for three days and two nights were all provided here. Oh, no, after three exams, that would be nine days and six nights of food and lodging.
"Wow, such a thick layer of dust!" If this dust gets on the test paper, he won't even have to sit down to take the test, and will just roll up his blankets and go back home. Yang Biao put down the test basket and started cleaning the dormitories.
The examiners came over and introduced the examination process to the candidates. Each examination started on the night of the first day, and the questions would not be distributed until the early morning of the second day. Then the papers would be collected in the afternoon of the third day, which meant that the examination was over.
Seeing that it was still early, Yang Biao put the two wooden boards together and decided to take a nap first.
