CH 39.3

Ji Mingshuang breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good then.”

Too many things have happened recently, one after another.

The Spring Imperial Examination, the Palace Examination, and then suddenly served in the Imperial Academy. He didn’t have a good rest and was busy all the time, so busy that even his mind was a little confused now.

Just as he was thinking about it, the young servant of the Grand Secretary came to call Ji Mingshuang again.

Ji Mingshuang didn’t even have lunch and already hurried off.

Ji Mingyan shook his head and went back to Wu Wei’an. He told his brother-in-law about Ji Mingshuang being called away again by a Grand Secretary.

Wu Wei’an had a lingering fear: “Fortunately, I am not the number one scholar.”

Ji Mingyan also agreed: “Fortunately, neither am I.”

Really too miserable.

Being the number one scholar is really too miserable.

Five days later, it is Compiler Wu’s rest day.

Early in the morning, he took his wife to the suburbs for an outing.

The end of April is the intersection of spring and summer. As far as one could see, the crops in the fields in the suburbs are as green as emeralds. Although the weather is not yet hot, the blowing wind has brought a hint of summer already.

The heroic Ferghana horse ran across the fields, getting farther and farther away from the capital city, until there were no more people around, leaving only a winding official road.

On the side of the official road, there are many fork roads leading to the mountain.

The round-faced housekeeper skillfully rode the carriage and let the horse go up the mountain from one of the fork roads.

When they got to the middle of the mountain, the slope above became steeper, and the horse couldn’t go further anymore.

Wu Wei’an got out of the carriage first and then helped Ji Yunxi get off.

According to reliable information, an escort from Daqing Escort Bureau will pass through this place today and then return to the capital to report the completion of their duty.

Wu Wei’an has already arranged the people for this, and it stands to reason that he and Ji Yunxi don’t have to make this trip at all, and they can just wait for the news at home.

However, just before going to bed last night.

Ji Yunxi sat in front of the dressing table and asked while applying the hand cream: “Are you sure there will be no problem tomorrow?”

Wu Wei’an was sorting through the books he had brought back from the Imperial Academy, and casually replied: “It’s just robbing the cart. What can go wrong?”

“I am just asking.” The expression on Ji Yunxi’s face is very faint. “I don’t want any mistakes to happen at all.”

Wu Wei’an: “Don’t worry, Xuezhu will lead the team.”

Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: “Xuezhu?”

Although she likes Xuezhu very much and he sweeps the floor very cleanly, but, is he reliable?

Wu Wei’an heard the meaning in her words and said with a smile: “Although Xuezhu has some shortcomings, he won’t drop the ball at the critical moment.”

Ji Yunxi gave an ‘oh’ sound and then stopped talking.

It’s just that when she got up, she asked as if at will again: “Is it your rest day tomorrow?”

Wu Wei’an: “Yes.”

Ji Yunxi nodded and walked to the bedside.

Wu Wei’an, who was busy sorting out the books, suddenly paused. He raised his head with the scrolls in his hands, and watched her stop by the bed, take off her shoes, climb into bed, lift the quilt, lie down, and cover herself with the quilt.

The movement is so smooth and flowing, and it is quite pleasing to the eye. However, she had a cold face the entire time.

Although Ji Yunxi has never had much expression, and the expression on her face is also very faint, and at this time there was also no difference between the present her and the usual her, but there are indeed some inexplicable differences.

Wu Wei’an pondered for a while and said: “Did I say before that if there’s a chance, I will let you see why Xuezhu sweeps the floor all day?”

Ji Yunxi, who had already closed her eyes, opened them again immediately and hummed a response before saying: “It seems to be so.”

Wu Wei’an chuckled: “Then, will Yun Niang go with me for a spring outing in the suburbs tomorrow?”

Ji Yunxi: “Alright.”

Then, early this morning, it was just dawn and Wu Wei’an was still asleep, but Ji Yunxi, who usually didn’t get up very early, opened her eyes, climbed out of the bed lightly from the other end, and sat in front of the dressing mirror for two hours.
