Chapter 405

"Ha, should I ask the emperor for the year-end bonus?" Du Xiaoli said.

"Year end bonus? Is that your word?" Han Mingyi asked.

"Yes, at the end of the year, the boss will give bonuses to employees as a reward for a hard year," Du Xiaoli said.

"So." Han Mingyi said clearly.

"Brother Xiaoyi, what do you think of this valley?" Du Xiaoli asked, pointing to a valley ahead.

Han Mingyi looked down the valley pointed by Du Xiaoli. He saw a lot of bare stones and shrubs in the valley, and the slope was steep. He nodded and said, "it's a good place for training."

"Then write it down," said Du Xiaoli. "Let's go down again."

"OK." Han Mingyi signed Du Xiaoli's hand and went on. "Are you going to the city today?"

"I'll go back in the afternoon. My brother will finish the exam tomorrow. My sister-in-law and I agreed to pick him up." Du Xiaoli said.

"Then we'll go back earlier."

"OK."

The fallen trees are rustling. A black and a yellow figure passes through the fallen leaves hand in hand. A small white ball runs in front of them, disappearing from time to time, running back from the front, or rolling in the fallen leaves. It's fun to play.

At noon the next day, the autumn sun was still strong. Du Xiaoli and Fu Yalan looked anxiously at the gate of the College under the sun umbrella supported by their servant girls.

"Why hasn't Xiuheng come out?" Fu Yalan saw that many people didn't see Du Xiuheng and clenched his handkerchief.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. My brother and brother Zhang Rui probably went back to pack up." Du Xiaoli said, "let's wait."

"Yes." Fu Yalan nodded.

After a while, Du Xiuheng and Zhang Rui appeared at the gate of the college. They talked, and the smile on their faces showed their good mood.

"Brother, brother Zhang Rui." Du Xiaoli saw Du Xiuheng and shouted at them.

"Sister, they are over there." Du Xiuheng saw Du Xiaoli and them at a glance, and came over with Zhang Rui.

"Now the sun is still poisonous. Why did you come back?" Du Xiuheng said, looking at Fu Yalan and Du Xiaoli painfully.

"It's OK. It's not very hot," Fu Yalan said.

"Brother, how was your exam?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"We both feel the same. We even discussed some test questions when we reviewed before. It shouldn't be too bad." Du Xiuheng said confidently.

"Ha, that's good!" Du Xiaoli said happily.

"But we still have to wait until the test results come out," Zhang Rui said.

"I believe you two!" Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "Let's go home first. Dad, erniang and Xueqi are still waiting for you at home!"

"OK."

Du Xiuheng and Zhang Rui got on the last carriage, and Du Xiaoli and Fu Yalan got on the first one. When they got up, the coachman drove Li Kai.

After returning, Xie Yu asked the kitchen to prepare a rich lunch to celebrate the successful completion of the exam.

After the exam, it is the day to wait for the results, and the day when a group of friends go out to have a party.

Han Mingxiang and Meng Jiangzhuo are not in the capital. Ji Liuxia is not as free to marry as before. Fu Yalan and Du Xiaoli see each other almost every day, so going out to get together now is not attractive to Du Xiaoli. Du Xiuheng, who used to go out rarely, almost pulls Zhang Rui out in the daytime.

Today, several carriages stopped in front of Zhou Cheng's residence. After a while, Du Xiaoli also came to Zhou Cheng.

"Elder martial sister Shen, why don't you tell us in advance? We can send someone to pick you up!" as soon as Du Xiaoli came to the hall, he saw Shen Jingmei and Xiangzi sitting on one side and said with a smile, "unexpectedly, he came to the capital quietly, but he wanted to punish you?"

"Younger martial sister, we thought we could talk to you when we got here. Before we came, the eldest martial brother said the address of elder martial brother Zhou, and we asked all the way." Shen Jingmei said.

"How are Shifu, eldest martial brother and people in the valley?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"Everyone is doing well, but they often talk about your legend," Shen Jingmei said.

"Younger martial sister Shen, who are you coming to the capital this time?" asked sister-in-law Zhou.

"It was the Empress Dowager who wrote to the master, saying that she wanted the master to send two female doctors to the palace as imperial doctors to treat the concubine in the palace." Shen Jingmei explained. "No, the master appointed us. But he mentioned our names and said it was best to let us come. I thought it was recommended by elder martial brother Zhou."

"Well, cough, actually I suggested you two to the emperor." Du Xiaoli said, "the emperor asked who has better medical skills, I'll say you two, but I also said that if you don't want to come, you don't have to come."

"It's junior sister! When Shifu asked us, he said it was up to us. If we didn't want to come, he would consider others. But we also wanted to see what the capital looked like. We thought you were here, so we agreed. We said to come to the capital first to investigate the situation, and my family let them take their time behind." Shen Jingmei was in a good mood, He spoke with a smile on his face.

Xiangzi also nodded. She came only when she was willing to come. "Elder martial sisters don't blame me for my trouble." Du Xiaoli said. "We are entrusted with your blessing. How can we blame you!" Shen Jingmei said. "Did you say when you would report to the capital? There's a place to go now. If there's no place, just stay here," said sister-in-law Zhou. "The Empress Dowager said in her letter that when she arrived in the capital, she would find her younger martial sister and ask her to take us into the palace to report. She said that the capital had prepared a place." Shen Jingmei said. "When are you going to enter the palace?" Du Xiaoli asked. "In two days, let's go around the capital first," said Xiangzi. "Then you can live here these two days, and you don't have to go out and find a place," said Mrs. Zhou. "Then trouble sister-in-law Zhou." two days later, Du Xiaoli took Shen Jingmei and they went to see the queen and the Empress Dowager. Because they were women, they didn't go to see the emperor alone. Taking the waist token to get in and out of the palace, Du Xiaoli took them to the place arranged by the emperor. On the 15th day after the exam, the autumn exam results came out. Du Yunhan early sent the young boys in the house to wait at the place where the list was released. Then he came back from the morning and waited with Du Xiaoli. At that time, the two boys came back on horseback. As soon as they arrived at the door of the prime minister's house, they began to shout inside: "high school, young master high school!" as soon as they heard the news, the people in the house quickly took a big firecracker and set it off in front of the house. The crackling sound reported the good news to the people around them.
