The carriage swayed as it moved forward.

Ji Zhao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Shanghe Village that was getting further and further away. A strong sense of reluctance appeared between her brows.

“It’s a pity that Mother has to help the two sister-in-laws take care of the children. Otherwise, I really want Mother to accompany us to the prefecture capital,” Ji Zhao sighed softly.

“There will be a chance.” Shen Yao held her hand and comforted her gently.

“Cough cough!” The Immortal Crane coughed angrily. “Ah Tao, you should be completely focused when reading! ‘

“Understood, Master , ” Ji Zhao replied obediently and continued reading.

“The carriage is bumpy, so you don’t have to keep staring at the book.

Otherwise, you’ll hurt your eyes. The gains don’t make up for the losses.” Shen Yao silently took the book from her hand, then thoughtfully handed her a water bag. “Mother specially made red bean soup for you. It’s still warm. Try it.”

“Okay!’

Two days later, at dusk, the three of them finally arrived at Yunchuan

Prefecture City.

The city walls of Yunchuan Prefecture City were majestic.

The golden afterglow landed on the majestic and solemn city wall, coating it with a layer of holy golden light.

On both sides of the wide city gate stood two rows of city guards in an orderly manner.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

After entering the city, what greeted their eyes was a bustling scene.

“I’ve long heard that Yunchuan Prefecture City is very prosperous. Now that

I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it really lives up to its reputation,” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “Shen Yao, where are we going to stay later?’

“Yinchuan Inn.” Shen Yao smiled and pinched her face. Then, he explained softly, “Previously, I asked Brother Qin to book two rooms for us at Yinchuan

Inn.”

In Yunchuan Prefecture City, every inch of land was worth gold.

Coupled with the fact that the provincial imperial examination was at the end of August, the various inns in the prefecture capital were already filled with people.

Shen Yao had already expected this, so he asked Qin Minghong to book two rooms at Yinchuan Inn in advance.

Initially, Qin Minghong wanted to arrange for them to stay in the Qin family’s courtyard temporarily, but Shen Yao rejected him.

After all, the status of the Qin family in the prefecture was self-evident.

If he used the Qin Family’s power to make things easier for himself now, he would probably attract the ostracization of other students.

Moreover, Shen Yao despised such behavior.

Yinchuan Inn was a property under the Qin family, so when Shen Yao introduced himself, the innkeeper hurriedly welcomed him warmly.

“Esteemed guest, this way please.” The innkeeper’s surname was Qian. He had a shrewd round face, especially the mustache on both sides of his nose. He was quite unique, so he left a deep impression on people at first glance.

“The Eldest Young Master has already instructed me to make sure that the esteemed guests stay comfortably, so I specially arranged for two high-grade guest rooms in the south.” Innkeeper Qian walked sideways and walked in front. He bowed slightly and introduced with a smile, “Esteemed guests, please follow me.”

“These two guest rooms are connected to each other. They sit with the walls facing north and doors to the south. The windows are bright and the light is especially good.” Innkeeper Qian smiled and said, “Young Master Shen, Madam Shen, why don’t you rest for a while?’

“Alright, thank you, Innkeeper Qian.” Shen Yao smiled gratefully and took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to him.

Innkeeper Qian quickly refused. “No, no!’

“Innkeeper Qian, please accept it. We will be troubling you during this period of time.” Shen Yao handed the silver tael to him. His gentle tone carried an irrefutable meaning.

“Then what are your plans for dinner?”

“Innkeeper Qian, please prepare three dishes and a soup. We won’t go downstairs tonight,” Shen Yao said softly.

After traveling for two days, they were already a little tired.

A moment later, Innkeeper Qian personally delivered three dishes and a soup.

“This braised pigeon is a specialty of our inn. The two of you must try it! In addition, this steamed egg with silver fish is also our inn’s chef’s specialty.”

Innkeeper Qian explained with a smile and quickly left.

In addition to these two hard dishes, there was also a garlic lettuce and a portion of duck soup with yam.

“It smells quite good.” Immortal Crane gave a pertinent evaluation. “l wonder how it tastes.”

“Then Master, quickly try it?’ Ji Zhao hurriedly ladled a bowl of soup and respectfully handed it to him.

Immortal Crane nodded. After tasting the duck soup, he frowned in disappointment.

“It doesn’t taste good?” Ji Zhao was a little surprised when she saw the expression on her master’s face.

She thought for a moment and ladled a bowl of duck soup to try.

“The duck wasn’t processed properly, so there’s a gamey taste in the duck soup.” Ji Zhao savored it carefully and analyzed objectively. “But relatively speaking, the taste isn’t too bad.”

A moment later, Immortal Crane put down his chopsticks in disappointment. “It doesn’t taste good.”

Ever since he tasted his good disciple’s cooking, his tongue had become more and more picky.

“Master, I’ll borrow the inn’s kitchen tomorrow morning to make breakfast for you,” Ji Zhao quickly said. “What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?’

“Anything is fine.” Immortal Crane said tiredly, “In any case, as long as it’s made by you, it’s delicious. ‘

“Thank you for your praise, Master!”

Ji Zhao accepted the compliment with a smile.

“It’s getting late. I won’t disturb you anymore. Rest early.” Before Immortal Crane left, he did not forget to look at Shen Yao. The warning in his eyes was self-evident. ‘The exam is in two days. It’s best to conserve your energy.”

“I understand. Thank you for your advice, Senior.”

It was close to midnight, but the long street of Yunchuan Prefecture was still lively.

Ji Zhao, who was standing in front of the window, could not help but sigh. “I didn’t expect the night market in Yunchuan Prefecture to be so lively.”

“Zhaozhao, do you want to go out for a walk?” Shen Yao walked behind her and suggested with a smile.

“Now?’ Ji Zhao was originally a little tempted, but in the end, she shook her head. “Let’s talk about it after you finish the provincial imperial examination.”

“Alright.”

“Oh right, I forgot to ask you just now. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?” Ji Zhao turned around and looked into his eyes. Her bright smile was like the bright spring light.

“Up to you.” Shen Yao tapped the tip of her nose affectionately and said gently.

“Then should I prepare chicken soup wontons? I want to eat them too.” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. “Sure enough, I shouldn’t talk about delicious food at night. I actually feel a little hungry now.”

“Shen Yao, let’s go to sleep!”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhao found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep in an instant.

Listening to her shallow breathing, Shen Yao felt his heart calm down.

In the latter half of the night, Ji Zhao’s tears wet his clothes!

“Zhaozhao, wake up!” Shen Yao called her name anxiously, but at this moment, Ji Zhao seemed to have fallen into a nightmare and kept crying.

Helpless, Shen Yao could only bite her lips..
