The sudden pain on her lips pulled Ji Zhao out of her nightmare.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was in a daze.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Shen Yao quickly pulled her into his arms and leaned intimately against her tear- stained face, comforting her gently.
Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao, who was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, finally woke up completely.
“That nightmare just now was very scary.” After taking a sip of hot tea, Ji Zhao snuggled into his arms again, her low voice filled with fear.
Shen Yao patted her back gently and comforted her gently, “Zhaozhao, don’t be afraid. It’ll be fine.’
“Shen Yao, when you go to the examination venue for the exam the day after tomorrow, you have to be more careful. Don’t eat the food provided by the examination venue,” Ji Zhao grabbed his arm and reminded him anxiously.
“Zhaozhao, you mean…” Shen Yao narrowed his eyes warily and frowned thoughtfully.
Zhaozhao would never speak without thinking. The reason why she specially mentioned this was definitely because she was considering it from his perspective. In other words, the examination venue was not safe for him?
“Aren’t we underestimating our enemy too much?” Ji Zhao nodded slightly at him. Her tone was filled with sadness. ‘The current Yunchuan Prefecture’s magistrate is Sun He, who hates you to the core. Back then, he was only selected because he swapped your grades. How could he just watch you get a high rank?’
“Our journey was too smooth, so we didn’t realize that the danger lurking around us has never disappeared.” At this moment, Ji Zhao still had lingering fears.
The Sun family had already arranged everything in advance in the examination venue. Once Shen Yao stepped into the examination venue, his corpse would be sent out before the provincial imperial examination ended—
The reason why Ji Zhao cried so sadly in her dream just now was because she had received the news of Shen Yao’s sudden death. That was why she knelt outside the main entrance of the examination venue in mourning and wanted to seek justice!
“Zhaozhao.” Shen Yao held her hand and comforted her in a low voice. “Fortunately, you’re here.”
“Don’t be sad. The scene in the nightmare hasn’t happened yet, right?” Shen
Yao rubbed her head and smiled. “I promise you that I’ll protect myself well.”
Under Shen Yao’s comforting words, Ji Zhao finally slept soundly in the latter half of the night and did not have any nightmares.
The next day, Shen Yao looked at Ji Zhao, who was still sleeping soundly. He kissed her eyebrows gently and covered her with the blanket before leaving quietly.
In the lobby on the first floor of Yinchuan Inn, two waiters were wiping the table energetically. Innkeeper Qian was standing behind the counter and fiddling with an abacus.
The crackling sounds were refreshing.
“Young Master Shen, why are you here so early?” Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly put down the mahogany abacus in his hand when he heard the commotion. He walked up with a smile. “l wonder if you had a good rest last night? Do you have any instructions now?”
“Thanks to Innkeeper Qian, I slept well last night.” Shen Yao smiled. “1 don’t have any instructions, but I just want to ask Innkeeper Qian a question. I wonder which nearby restaurant has the best chicken soup wontons?’ “Young Master Shen, you’ve asked the right person!” Innkeeper Qian patted his chest and said, “I’m not bragging, but Shao Family Wontons are famous for being delicious!’
“Shao Family Wontons?”
“That’s right. After leaving the entrance of our inn, walk left for a quarter of a kilometer, it’s the first shop by the alley. Shao Family Wontons are extremely delicious. If you go now, you don’t have to queue for too long!’
“Many thanks, Innkeeper Qian.”
When Shen Yao went out, the sky was bright.
Probably because it rained after midnight last night, the morning weather was very refreshing.
Yinchuan Inn was located in the bustling area of the prefectural city. There were rows of shops on both sides, and the roads on both sides of the wide street were filled with parasol trees.
Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yao finally arrived near the Shao Family’s wonton shop.
It was not even seven o’clock yet, but there were two lines outside the Shao Family’s shop.
After asking around, Shen Yao found out that Shao Family Wontons was a century-old shop. Moreover, this shop was very interesting. For so many years, it only sold two flavors of wonton, chicken soup wonton, and shrimp wonton. More importantly, Shao Family Wontons opened at dawn every day and only sold 100 servings of wontons.
Shen Yao was lucky. He was the last customer this morning.
Just as he was about to leave with the wontons, someone blocked his way. “I’ll pay three times the price for the three servings of wontons you have.” “No,” Shen Yao replied expressionlessly.
‘Why are you like this?” That person placed their hands on their hips. “I’m already offering three times the money. Why are you so ungrateful?’
“Brother, I’m begging you, okay? My Young Miss really likes to eat these wontons. If I can’t buy it today, I’ll definitely be scolded when I go back!’ “It has nothing to do with me. ‘
“How can you be so unreasonable! You’re not a pig. Don’t you feel bloated eating three servings alone?”
Xing’er was a little angry that both her hard and soft methods didn’t work!
Shen Yao could not be bothered with such an unreasonable person. He took two steps back and tried to circle around her.
However, the maidservant was unreasonable. She actually tried to snatch the food box from him.
Shen Yao narrowed his eyes as a strong murderous intent flashed across them.
“Let go!”
“No, unless you sell me the last three servings of wontons!’
“Forceful buying and selling? Which family are you from? How can you be so unreasonable?”
“I’m afraid I’ll scare you to death if I tell you! Hmph!” The maidservant sneered repeatedly, but she was caught off guard and felt her ankle tremble. She fell to the ground with her limbs facing the sky—
Shen Yao lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in them. He turned around and left.
“Xing’er, what’s wrong?” Hearing the commotion, Lu Hongshan hurriedly lifted her skirt and came forward. From the corner of her eye, she happened to see a tall and straight light blue figure. “That person just now was…”
“Miss.” Xing’er hurriedly got up from the ground and shrank her neckin fear.
“I’m useless. I couldn’t buy the chicken soup wontons.”
“It’s fine.” Lu Hongshan smiled nonchalantly, her gaze still fixed on the receding figure.
When Shen Yao returned with the chicken soup wontons, Ji Zhao was already awake.
She was sitting in front of the desk, seriously planning the nutritious meals for the next few days.
“Shen Yao, come and take a look.” Ji Zhao handed the plan to him as if she were presenting a treasure. ‘Take a look at the nutritious meals I’ve designed for you. Why don’t you take a look to see if there’s anything that needs to be changed?’
“Nutritional meal?” Shen Yao brought the chicken soup wontons to her and asked curiously.
‘You’re going to the examination venue for your exam tomorrow. I’ve already asked around in advance. The food in the examination venue is average.. So, I’ve decided to bring you food every day!” Ji Zhao looked up at him and said with a smile, ‘The so-called nutritious meals are delicious food that are rich in nutrients and good for the body!”
