Chapter 110 Examination Room Attitude

Agate's heart ached, and she pulled Hualei's hand distressedly, "I'm sorry, Hua sister, for reminding you of unhappy things. I was just curious, and I had no ill intentions. I'm sorry."

Hua Lei smiled and said, "It's okay. There's nothing to feel sorry about. Although I feel a little regretful that I can't do the work, but didn't you say before that you would give me discounts when I come to you to make clothes in the future? So it's nothing for me to regret." Hua Lei adjusted the atmosphere.

Agate nodded, "Well, come over, I promise to give you a lifetime discount, and I will only charge you for the fabric. In fact, there is nothing to regret if you can't do housework. There are many things we can't do.

Some people can't play the piano, and some can't paint. As long as you have money, those who can't play the piano can find a musician to play for you. Those who can't paint can find a painter to paint for you. You are so good at making money, you can find ten or twenty embroiderers to make clothes for you in the future. We are not afraid." Agate comforted Hualei with great pride.

You know what, it really is useful.

Hualei smiled when she heard it and said, "Sister Manju is right. If you can't play the piano, we can find a pianist to play for us. If you can't paint, we can ask a painter to paint for us. If you can't do housework, I can find a dozen or twenty embroiderers to do it for me. As long as I have legs and can't walk, I can ask others to help me walk. Everything else can be solved with money."

“Hahaha…” Manju laughed, “Actually… Sister Hua, you have no legs… As long as you are willing to spend money, others are willing to walk for you.” Seeing Hua Lei glaring at him, he immediately changed his words, “If you spend more money, you can also have someone carry you on their back.” Manju laughed out of breath, “But if you don’t have a mouth, you can also spend money and have someone help you eat… But… Hahahaha…” Manju laughed so hard that he fell backwards and pounded the table.

"Okay, sister Agate, why are you so mean? I don't have a mouth, but I ask others to eat in front of me? Am I a fool? Or a wronged creature? Ah, how can the food that others help me eat go into my stomach?" Hualei stepped forward and stretched out her hand to tickle Agate's ticklish spot.

"Hahahaha... Sister Hua, I was wrong... Hahaha... I won't say anything... Please forgive me... Hahaha..." Agate began to beg for mercy. A sad past ended in the form of comedy.

"Oh, I almost forgot the time while talking. I have to go pick up Xiaoyuan. He's almost done." Hua Lei stood up.

Agate looked at the sky and indeed, it was around a quarter past noon.

"I should have invited you to dinner, but you have to pick up Xiaoyuan and Rongjue today, so I won't keep you." Manju accompanied Hualei downstairs. Butler Pei and the coachman drove the carriage downstairs. Manju took a food box from the waiter and put it on the carriage.

"It should be past dinner time when Xiaoyuan and the others come out. They ate early in the morning. Take this lunch box. There are snacks in it. Give them some food to eat." Manju explained.

"Then I won't be polite to Sister Manju. This snack is really useful. I would like to thank Sister Manju on behalf of Xiaoyuan and Rongjue." Hua Lei was not polite either.

"Look at you, this little snack is worth your thanks. Go up quickly, it's almost time. Don't let Xiaoyuan and Rongjue wait." Agate helped Hualei. "Why didn't you bring Qingying and Qinglian with you? At least bring one? Otherwise it will be very inconvenient." Agate asked with concern.

"Well, I'll take a carriage to send Xiaoyuan and Rongjue to the exam. Butler Pei will be with them. If there's nothing else, they won't be allowed to come out. I'll leave first. If I don't leave now, it will be too late." Hua Lei waved her hand, got into the carriage, and headed towards the Imperial College.

When Hua Lei arrived at the Imperial College, the gate was slowly opening. Hua Lei asked the coachman to park the carriage on the side of the road, and stood in a conspicuous position with Butler Pei, waiting for Xiao Yuan and Rong Jue to come out.

After a cup of tea, the candidates came out one after another according to the team they entered. Rong Jue from examination room No. 5 came out first. Hua Lei looked at Rong Jue's face. Hmm, he looked very happy, so he must have done well in the exam.

"Rong Jue, here." Hua Lei waved her hand, and Butler Pei walked over quickly and brought Rong Jue over. "How was the exam? Was it difficult?" Hua Lei asked, while stuffing a portion of the snacks prepared by Agate into Rong Jue's hand. "Are you hungry? Eat something quickly to fill your stomach."

Rong Jue took the snack and took a bite happily.

"Is it difficult?" Hua Lei asked again.

"I think it's OK. I just didn't get two questions right. Master Ji and my elder brother have mentioned the others." Rong Jue swallowed the snack in his mouth and replied. This year's official recruitment and civilian recruitment exams used the same set of papers.

"That's good, that's good. Come, drink some more water, don't choke." Hua Lei handed over another kettle, which was also prepared by Agate.

"Thank you, Sister Hua. Here I come, Xiaoyuan." Rong Jue called out to Xiaoyuan who had just walked out of the door.

Hualei looked up and saw that the candidates from examination room number 12 had also come out. Xiaoyuan was standing behind the line, smiling at Hualei and Rongjue. Hualei breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for a while, Xiaoyuan came over quickly with a school bag.

"Sister, Rong Jue, and Butler." Xiao Yuan greeted them one by one.

"Okay, let's go back first. We can talk in the car." Hua Lei pulled one person in each hand, walked through the bustling crowd, and got on the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

After letting Xiaoyuan eat some snacks and drink a few sips of water, Hualei asked, "How was the exam? Did you find it difficult?"

"It's not difficult. Master Ji and Brother Pei have talked about it before. I have done it all." Xiao Yuan took another sip of water, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "However, when we were taking the exam, one of the candidates fainted."

"Ah, he fainted, what happened?" Before Hua Lei could ask, Rong Jue beside her asked anxiously.

"I don't know the specific reason, but during the exam, the teacher from the Imperial College came to inspect the exam. I guess he was too nervous, so he fainted." Xiao Yuan guessed.

"Are you not affected?" Hua Lei asked worriedly.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Hua Lei and said, "No..."

"Hahaha, speaking of invigilation, there was a joke in our examination room. When the chief priest came in with the invigilating teachers, the candidates sitting in the first row near the door stood up in panic and saluted the chief priest and the teachers. The anxious invigilating teachers hurriedly asked them to sit down. Hahaha, very funny. Fortunately, I was sitting in the innermost row, so no joke was made." Rong Jue looked relieved.

"What happened later? Did they affect the exam? The candidate who fainted in our examination room went to see a doctor and didn't even finish the paper." Xiaoyuan looked regretful.

"That didn't affect their exam. The invigilators stopped it in time, so less than half a cup of tea time was wasted." Rong Jue replied.
