Love Your Husband

Part 201 - 210

He couldn't bear the man's burning gaze.

When Li Qiao's kiss came again, he closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

He likes Li Qiao so much.

These days, the two of them seemed to want to make up for the lack of happiness in the past, and they stayed up late every day.

At this moment, they were not only happy, but also felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey, so the two of them went straight to bed.

It’s evening, time for dinner.

After preparing dinner, Li Dashan stood at the door of the backyard and shouted a few times. When no one answered, he turned around with a look of understanding on his face.

He put some of the dinner in the pot to keep it warm, and his uncle and Uncle Zhu could eat it whenever they were hungry.

The next day, the cold wind that had been blowing all day stopped, but a drizzle began to fall. The drizzle was as fine as silk and soon covered the world with a layer of moisture.

It was wet and cold, so Li Qiao simply lit up the kang.

In the morning, he and Tao Zhu were checking if anything was missing from the luggage when Zhuang Wen arrived.

Zhuang Wen finally made a decision. This time he and Li Qiao went to the capital to take part in the imperial examination.

"I am old now, and my ambitions have been worn down by thirty years of studying. If I miss this opportunity, I will have to wait another three years. After three years, I don't know if I will have the strength to survive the examination."

This provincial examination had exhausted him, let alone the metropolitan examination three years later.

Three years later he was three years older, nearly fifty, and the imperial examination was in February.

Although February is not the coldest month, the temperature is still low.

Even if he was wearing thick clothes, he probably couldn't stand staying in that small cell without doors or windows for nine days.

So, he didn't wait any longer and went to the capital with Li Qiao.

He would accept whatever the outcome.

"You have real talent and knowledge. If I take the exam with you, I will definitely be able to share in your good fortune." Zhuang Wen said to Li Qiao with a smile.

"Brother Wen, you have accumulated a lot of experience and you have succeeded in the imperial examination because of yourself. Believe in yourself, and you may get good results."

Li Qiao felt that Zhuang Wen's success in the imperial examination was largely due to his own efforts.

Zhuang Wen laughed out loud when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll borrow your good words and try to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi."

Of course, it doesn't matter if he is a Jinshi. When the time comes, he can make some arrangements, even if it means he can just become a teacher in a college. He would be willing to do that.

Zhuang Wen decided to go to Beijing to take the exam, and started packing his luggage immediately after returning home.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county town to find Han Ning. They followed the Han family's convoy north to Beijing. Now that there was a new banker, they had to tell Han Ning.

However, when arriving at the gate of the county town, Li Qiao saw a familiar carriage, which belonged to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying had dark circles under her eyes and looked haggard.
