Houfu Key Class

The old lady happily took her eldest grandson, patted the little boy on the shoulder, and said anxiously: "Yesterday you were trapped outside the city and couldn't get in. We were almost worried to death. Fortunately, your father wrote a letter to let us take our bags and wait in the Imperial Examination Hall, so we didn't panic. Look, everything is complete. Your mother watched people pack it one by one a few days ago."

When the little devil heard that it was his mother who packed it, he immediately said happily: "Mom is the most careful. There must be nothing missing. Thank you, grandma, now we don't worry."

The old marquis also smiled and said: "Okay Jincheng, it's time to go to the Imperial Examination Hall for inspection. You go and take the exam easily. During this period, I will let Buyan stay here. Don't worry, finish the exam well and wait for us to pick you up."

"Yeah." The little devil nodded heavily.

The other four brothers also took their bags and called him to go together.

The five young boys waved at them and successfully entered the Imperial Examination Hall.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Zong Zhao and said, "Finally, Jincheng and the others didn't delay their exams. By the way, where's Wan'er?"

Zong Zhao replied, "Their carriage is still on the way to the Imperial Examination Hall."

"Ah?" The old lady frowned and said, "Why don't you ask someone to send them back to the mansion?"

Zong Zhao said, "She is worried about Jincheng and the others and doesn't want to go back directly to the mansion. I'll go pick her up."

"Well, good, Wan'er has been too hard in the past month. She has been taking classes with Mr. Su and the others, getting up early and going to bed late. I'm worried about her after all this trouble." The old lady thought for a while and said, "Then let's go back to the mansion first. I'll ask the maid to prepare hot water and wait for you to come back."

"Okay."

The old marquis and the old lady left, and Buyan brought a few people to guard here.

Buyan was about to return the horse to Luo Jingfeng when he saw the other party sitting on a tall horse and said arrogantly, "Leave it to you first. If Cheng'er has any problems, come and report to me."

"Yes." Buyan replied.

Luo Jingfeng turned the reins and said to Zong Zhao: "General Zong is going to pick up his wife, I won't join in the fun, let's go, when you finish cleaning up the patrol office, remember to come and tell me the good news."

Zong Zhao replied: "Thank you."

Luo Jingfeng rolled his eyes at him and snorted: "Thank you, do I need you to thank me?"

Zong Zhao ignored him and turned his horse's head and left.

On the way to the tribute court, many carriages came. Not only Xu Wan, but also several other mothers were worried and insisted on coming with them.

Zong Zhao met them halfway.

Cuizhi stopped the carriage and said to Xu Wan excitedly: "Madam, the general is back, and the young master and his family must have successfully entered the tribute court."

The carriages behind heard Cuizhi's good news, and their hearts were finally put down, and joyful voices came one after another.

But Xu Wan's carriage did not respond.

Zong Zhao got off the horse quickly. He opened the carriage curtain and saw Xu Wan had fainted in the carriage.

Cuizhi exclaimed: "Ah... Madam."

Zong Zhao quickly held her arm and checked her pulse. He found that she was just drowsy due to excessive fatigue and tension. There was nothing serious. He said to Cuizhi outside the window: "Go back to the mansion."

"Yes."

Several ladies wanted to go to the mansion to see, but they were rejected by Zong Zhao. He said that he wanted Xu Wan to rest and asked them to come another day.

General's Mansion.

Yan Suxue and Su Xi's carriage stopped at the back. The two saw Zong Zhao hurriedly holding Xu Wan back to the mansion, and the old lady who greeted them also hurriedly chased after him.

Unlike Yan Suxue's nervous worry, Su Xi was smiling instead, and he even laughed out loud.

Yan Suxue didn't understand: "Sir, aren't you worried about your sister-in-law? Why are you still laughing?"

Su Xi smiled and said, "What is there to worry about? If you are tired and sleepy, you can just take a nap. Can you worry that she will wake up immediately?"

Yan Suxue: "..."

It seems that it is indeed impossible, but I always feel that something is wrong.

Su Xi shook his head and continued to laugh: "The people in your family are quite interesting. The couple is loving, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, and the sisters-in-law respect each other. They are all gathered together. It's rare, rare..."

Yan Suxue sighed and said, "So the sir is laughing at this. That's right. My mother-in-law is a good person, and the family tradition here is also very good. My sister-in-law is such a smart and capable person. Our whole family likes her from top to bottom."

Su Xi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's a blessing, it's a blessing."

During this period, the palace doctor also came to see and prescribed a prescription for calming the mind and nourishing qi, asking her to boil it and drink it. The old lady personally watched the medicine and sent it over after it was boiled.

Zong Zhao was still guarding her bedside. When he saw the old lady coming in with the medicine, he stood up and went over, whispering, "Mom, put it aside first, and drink it when she wakes up."

The old lady was stunned and said, "Ah? But the palace doctor said..."

Zong Zhao replied, "She is too tired, and she needs to be careful. Keep the medicine warm, and I will ask someone to bring it to her when she wakes up. You and dad should go to bed too. You didn't sleep well all night, don't get tired too."

"Okay, okay, then I'll take the medicine away first." The old lady walked two steps and came back, teaching, "If you have nothing to do, think more about how to get along with Wan'er, don't look so sullen, as if you are in a bad mood."

Zong Zhao: "..."

His wife fainted from exhaustion, how good can he be?

The old lady saw that he wanted to say a few words, and then she took the bowl out again. The maids closed the door and dispersed the maids who were cleaning the yard.

The room returned to silence.

Zong Zhao returned to the bedside and touched her forehead again. After making sure that she did not have a fever, he sat down by the bed again to watch over her.

Xu Wan slept until the evening. She woke up in a daze and saw her familiar home above her head. She quickly sat up from the bed and shouted, "Jincheng! Where's Jincheng?"

Zong Zhao quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Jincheng entered the tribute academy. They are all taking the exam."

"Oh, he entered... he entered the tribute academy." Xu Wan panted heavily, leaned weakly on the head of the bed, and whispered, "Finally he entered. I was scared to death. When we take the exam next time, I will definitely ask them not to go out three days in advance."

Zong Zhao didn't say anything more, just responded, "Okay, we will pay attention next time."

Xu Wan closed her eyes and asked after a while, "Why is it cloudy again? Is it going to rain again?"

Zong Zhao said, "It's getting dark. It's time for dinner."

Xu Wan slept all day and was full of energy. In addition, the children's predicament was resolved, so she also relaxed. Then she noticed that Zong Zhao had been sitting by the bed, still wearing the same clothes.

She asked guiltily, "You won't be here guarding me all day, right?"

Zong Zhao didn't answer, his ears slightly reddened, and he asked back, "Do you want to wash up first, or eat first?"
