Chapter 1050: Changing Women 16
Finally arriving in the bustling capital, Meng Li and Zhu Zhuoran seemed ordinary and insignificant among the crowds.
Although it was spring, the sun was still shining brightly. Zhu Zhuoran was blinded by the sun in the capital and said to Meng Li beside him:
"Let's find a place to stay."
Meng Li: "Okay."
Seeing that Meng Li was still wearing a curtain hat, Zhu Zhuoran averted his eyes, why were he standing around?
How could he understand that this was Meng Li trying to protect himself from the sun? Sun protection was very important, otherwise wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?
The two asked several inns in succession, but they were all overcrowded and the prices were very high.
Zhu Zhuoran couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
He looked at Meng Li helplessly and said:
"Why did you say you came out with me?"
Meng Li was speechless. Was he shot while lying down?
"If you don't come out, I can find someone to live with you." Zhu Zhuoran said with an indifferent look.
You can save money and meet like-minded friends.
"Don't I live with you?" Meng Li asked.
Zhu Zhuoran: "..."
Would rather not.
Basically he couldn't sleep in bed for various reasons.
Not allowed to touch either.
She didn't wash or comb his hair or take care of him.
Meng Li smiled maliciously and said:
"I'm so lucky to be able to drag you down."
Why didn't Zhu Zhuoran think about how convenient it was to get the client in the first place?
Zhu Zhuoran's face became even more indifferent.
The two walked around the capital again. Some students came out to take exams, and they all brought several servants with them. Zhu Zhuoran looked at them with envy, wondering if he could compare with them.
Originally I wanted to find a prosperous place.
As a result, there is no capacity to live in a prosperous place.
They settled for the next best thing and looked for a place a little further away, only to find that less prosperous places were equally weak.
In the end, in desperation, the two found a place further away and stayed in a dilapidated inn.
There are several days until the examination, and then the palace examination will be held in a month. After the palace examination, you will have to wait in the capital for a while. If everything goes well, you will have to stay for at least two months.
Meng Li decided to live separately from Zhu Zhuoran.
Zhu Zhuoran's whole body now showed indifference.
"What are you making a fuss about?"
Meng Li: "What?"
Zhu Zhuoran: "You know clearly that our money is tight, but you still want to live separately."
Meng Li smiled:
"Even if you enjoy the share that my mother earned, shouldn't I enjoy the share that I earned before?"
This money is also earned by the client.
Zhu Zhuoran: "We are husband and wife, why do you want to be so clear with me?"
Meng Li: "Even if we are a couple, you should respect my wishes. Didn't the saint teach you to respect others?"
Zhu Zhuoran frowned:
"Yingmei, where did you learn all this nonsense?"
Meng Li was too lazy to talk to Zhu Zhuoran, so she said:
"Anyway, the money is mine, and I have the final say on how I want to spend it."
After that, she opened two rooms, leaving Zhu Zhuoran standing aside with an ugly expression.
Meng Li entered the room by himself. As soon as he entered, there was a musty smell, as if no one had stayed there for a long time. There was dust on the tables and chairs. The inn itself was remote, and it was normal for there to be no business.
Meng Li went downstairs to get a bucket of water, and wiped the tables, chairs, bed, floor and windows.
I scanned it with my mental power and saw that there was a dead mouse under the bed. Could it be that it smelled weird?
She found two wooden sticks, pinched out the dead mouse, and planned to throw it away when she happened to meet Zhu Zhuoran. Zhu Zhuoran was disgusted with the strange smell and dust in the room, and planned to ask Meng Li to clean it. The wooden stick was picking up something, but without seeing it clearly, he said:
"Let me clean my room."
Meng Li threw the dead mouse into Zhu Zhuoran's arms, and Zhu Zhuoran subconsciously caught it. When he took it out, he saw that it was a disgusting dead mouse, and his face was blue.
"Yingmei!" he said angrily.
Meng Li said: "I'm so scared."
"Are you afraid that you would just throw it at me?" Zhu Zhuoran asked angrily.
Meng Li turned around and closed the door. Zhu Zhuoran threw away the dead mouse, feeling extremely depressed.
He knocked on Meng Li's door again and asked Meng Li to clean the room. Meng Li ignored Zhu Zhuoran, but Zhu Zhuoran kept knocking. Finally, the shopkeeper came up and gave Zhu Zhuoran a cold look.
He probably thought Zhu Zhuoran's knock on the door had disturbed him.
Zhu Zhuoran then retracted his hand and resigned himself to cleaning up.
He was very irritated. He was a scholar, and now he had to take the examination. His time was so precious and should be spent on studying. How could he do these things?
When Meng Li heard Zhu Zhuoran's movements, he went out and took a bath where he could take a bath, and then applied ointment all over his body.
Seeing that the ointment was about to bottom out, Meng Li sighed, he still had to make money by himself.
The money in hand cannot support her whitening career.
In the days that followed, Zhu Zhuoran went out every day. There were students rushing for exams everywhere, and there was a special place for them to communicate.
Zhu Zhuoran enjoyed going there and could stay from morning to afternoon.
Meng Li, on the other hand, was embroidering something to sell, or getting some medicinal materials to sell in exchange for some silver to make ointment.
The two of them now don't eat together, and often don't see each other for several days in a row.
Zhu Zhuoran felt that out of sight was out of mind, and in his heart he wanted to ignore Yingmei in order to prevent her temper from getting weirder.
It happened that Meng Li didn't want to see him either.
Zhu Zhuoran has slowly begun to make friends in the capital, but at this stage they are just students and do not know the powerful people yet.
Finally, it was the day of the general exam. There were several exams and it took several days.
The outstanding Zhu Zhuoran won the first place in the examination and became Huiyuan.
This was already amazing. Zhu Zhuoran's name suddenly became famous. After all the hardships, Zhu Zhuoran finally returned to the inn with a glowing face.
As for why he went through so many hardships, it still has something to do with the background of this era. The number one in Huiyuan is a serious scholar and very talented.
It is a potential stock, and it is the first choice for many daughters of wealthy businessmen or officials to choose husbands.
The main force was still wealthy businessmen. Although wealthy businessmen had money, the social status of businessmen was not that high at this time, so they wanted to recruit scholars to become their sons-in-law. Not only changing genes, but also having someone in the family in the court.
promotion.
So Zhu Zhuoran was intercepted by many people on the road and almost didn't get kidnapped.
The person came back, but there were still a group of people behind him. The shopkeeper was shocked. He had never seen so many people in his small inn.
Seeing Zhu Zhuoran surrounded by people, all asking about Zhu Zhuoran's home situation, Meng Li wore pearls and emeralds, held his hair in a bun, applied light pink and white, and walked slowly down the stairs with a smile.
Zhu Zhuoran's head was buzzing. He really couldn't stand the 'enthusiasm' of these people. When he saw Meng Li, he was stunned for a moment.
This move makes her look more like a lady.
"Ms. sir." Meng Li smiled gently and shouted softly.
