Chapter 200: Flower Forest in the South of the City
The provincial examination began in early April.
Candidates arrive at the examination venue in advance and enter at 1:05 am after undergoing preliminary screening.
It was still dark here. Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng stood in the distance and watched the people at the door search Lin Jingchen carefully. They only left after he entered the examination room.
Different from the county examination, in the prefectural examination, except for the examination guidelines, nothing else is allowed to be brought into the examination room. The pens, ink, paper and inkstone are all provided by the examination room, as is quilts for overnight use.
Ye Wan carefully checked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and found that they were not wasted, as they would be used for writing at home.
They went home and prepared to take another nap.
"Aci, please sit inside. It's cold outside."
"I don't want to go inside. I'll put on my cloak and I won't be cold."
Jiang Ci put the cloak that was placed on the seat in the carriage on himself and pulled it forward, then put on the hat to cover his eyes.
He looked up at Lin Jingsheng through his hat-covered eyes, "Okay, it won't be cold now."
"Okay, then stay outside."
Then he took Jiang Ci into his arms.
The furry cloak, the warm embrace, and the swaying carriage all made Jiang Ci drowsy.
After a while, the head nodded.
Lin Jingsheng held Jiang Ci's head, patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Aci, go to sleep."
When they got home, Jiang Ci was already asleep in Lin Jingsheng's arms.
Lin Jingsheng put Jiang Ci on the bed, and fell asleep while hugging his soft husband.
Since they didn’t want to cook at noon, they found a roadside noodle stall to eat.
If you find the right place to eat at this roadside stall, it tastes better than eating in a store.
Maybe they arrived a little late, there were not many people eating here. Besides the two of them, there was a young couple sitting at another table.
The owner of this noodle stall is an elderly couple.
"From what I heard you guys are not from the capital city, right?"
"No, today is the provincial examination. My younger brother is here to take the exam, so we came together."
"Oh, that's incredible!"
"If you have nothing to do here, you can go to the south of the city to see the flowers. There are so many beautiful flowers."
"What kind of flower?"
"There are peach trees, pear trees, and apricot trees over there. The apricot blossoms are in bloom, and the peach and pear trees that bloomed earlier are also in bloom. Just go out from the south city gate and walk along that road. You will see a large area of flowers in the east. Just walk in that direction."
"Thank you. We'll go check it out this afternoon."
They left the noodle stall and headed straight towards the South City Gate.
"I just happened to have nothing to do, so I went to take a look."
"Beautiful scenery goes with beautiful women. I am so lucky."
Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng sat together, her right hand interlocked with Lin Jingsheng's left hand, her feet swinging, and she looked in a good mood.
Jiang Ci lifted Lin Jingsheng's chin with his left hand, "I have a beauty too!"
Jiang Ci felt a pity that he was not sitting high enough, so when he lifted Lin Jingsheng's chin, he could not see the expression on his face.
Jiang Ci lowered her hands and signaled Lin Jingsheng with her eyes to put his chin up.
Lin Jingsheng was also happy to cooperate, bending over and resting his chin on Jiang Ci's hand.
Then he smiled sweetly at Jiang Ci, and looked at Jiang Ci with his eyes, as if Jiang Ci was the only one in his world.
Jiang Ci's heart was pounding, she was mesmerized, and wanted to pounce on him and give him a good kiss.
But this happened outside, with people and carriages passing by on the roadside from time to time, which had a bad influence.
Jiang Ci buried her head in Lin Jingsheng's arms.
Lin Jingsheng saw that Jiang Ci's two ears were red, so he supported Jiang Ci's back and said, "When we get to the place, I'll get into the carriage and let you kiss me."
Jiang Ci said proudly, "Humph! No way!"
They walked along the road in the south of the city and saw the low hills in the east. Below them was a large area full of flowers, some white and some pink.
"Look, look, it's so beautiful."
"I see. We'll be there soon."
It was right in front of us, but the carriage still took an hour to arrive.
There were many carriages parked outside, so they parked their carriages here and walked inside holding hands.
The flowers outside were not immune to human destruction, and there were fallen petals under the trees.
"Let's go and take a look inside."
After walking a distance inside, the flowers here were intact. The pear blossoms were in full bloom and the branches were not very high. Jiang Ci leaned closer to smell the scent of the apricot blossoms.
"Ah Sheng, you smell it too."
Lin Jingsheng also leaned over to a flourishing branch and smelled it, "A light floral scent."
“I don’t know if they would like it if it’s made into essential oil?”
"We'll know after we make a batch this year and give it a try."
Before they came, they had already arranged a small essential oil production area behind the soap factory.
They started producing apricot blossom essential oil a few days ago.
Now the essential oil factory should be completed and ready to produce essential oils of pear and peach blossoms.
"Let's go and take a look inside."
Lin Jingsheng walked behind Jiang Ci, watching Jiang Ci moving among the flowers and trees.
Jiang Ci was wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, with a turquoise belt around her waist and an emerald green peace locket hanging from it.
The belt makes Jiang Ci's waist look even slimmer, and further down, her figure is round and straight.
This winter has made Jiang Ci gain a little weight, and the flesh on her buttocks feels better.
Looking at Jiang Ci gently fiddling with the flowers with her fingers, he really wanted to use the mobile phone camera that Jiang Ci mentioned to record the beautiful scenery.
"What are you doing? Why don't you keep up?"
"coming."
"I really want the camera that Ah Ci mentioned so I can take a picture of you."
"I want, too."
Jiang Ci said whimsically, "Maybe we will go to that world someday, then I will definitely take a lot of photos of you, as well as photos of us together."
Lin Jingsheng smiled but did not answer, not knowing how to respond. He also wanted to go see that magical world with Aci, but he was afraid that Aci would be the only one going.
"It's better not to go. I still like to stay here with you. There are my parents, brothers, sisters and friends here. I can't bear to leave them, and I can't bear to leave my career."
To put it in detail, it has been less than a year, and here he has something that he will never be able to give up for the rest of his life.
"Then we can live here forever. When we don't want to expand Qingyunfang's business anymore and we get bored, we can go wander around."
"Okay, I lived in one place after another for 18 years, and I didn't go to other beautiful places. We can go see this place together."
Jiang Ci got excited just thinking about the two of them traveling around.
There is a kind of Qingyunfang, let it be, they have the urge to go traveling now.
Jiang Ci shook her head to get rid of the impulse.
"Let's climb this hill and look down from the top."
