Getting up, dressing, and making the bed…
After tidying up briefly, Jiang Mixia prepared to go out to fetch water for washing up and to ask Song Jingyun what he wanted for breakfast.
However, after searching around both inside and outside the room, she couldn’t find any trace of Song Jingyun.
Could he have gone to find other scholars to discuss their studies?
Jiang Mixia thought as she took some rock salt to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.
By the time she had wiped her face clean with a towel, Song Jingyun strode into the courtyard, looking excited.
“Where did you go? You’re all sweaty,” Jiang Mixia said, wiping Song Jingyun’s forehead with her towel.
Song Jingyun enjoyed his wife’s care while chuckling, “I went to learn martial arts from Master Wu. He said I have good aptitude and that with time, I can achieve greatness.”
Jiang Mixia paused for a moment.
The Splendorous Garden was fully equipped with all necessary facilities. Jiang Junli had even set up a training ground and invited a martial arts master to teach, so that the scholars could learn basic martial arts in their spare time to strengthen their bodies and defend themselves.
Song Jingyun had gone to learn martial arts from the master today…
“I remember you weren’t particularly interested in these things before. Why the sudden urge to learn them?” Jiang Mixia was curious.
“Because my dear likes it,” Song Jingyun answered seriously.
She likes it?
Jiang Mixia was taken aback again.
She had never said she liked these things, had she?
Noticing Jiang Mixia’s surprise, Song Jingyun scratched the back of his head, “Didn’t my dear say that I don’t have much meat on my bones and that you wanted me to grow stronger? I figured that by learning martial arts from the master every day, I’d naturally put on more muscle.”
To look better and feel better.
My dear would definitely like it more.
Jiang Mixia was speechless!
What a bizarre train of thought!
How could it be that she liked it…
Cough!
But if one were to be precise, Song Jingyun was originally handsome with a slender figure. If he were to gain a bit more muscle…
It would definitely feel good!
Why was she suddenly looking forward to it?
Jiang Mixia’s thoughts were reflected in her facial expressions, all of which fell into Song Jingyun’s eyes.
Seeing his wife’s eyes begin to sparkle, Song Jingyun’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.
He knew it, his dear definitely liked it!
…
Thus, in the following days, besides reading and writing, and accompanying Jiang Mixia, Song Jingyun spent most of his remaining time sweating on the training ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Mixia felt that Song Jingyun was indeed working hard.
But…
Her little husband had always been as fragile as a bean sprout, unable to withstand the wind. If he could enhance his physique through this, it would be a good thing, wouldn’t it?
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Mixia let him be, not saying anything else. She busied herself with tidying up the bamboo paintings that Song Jingyun had woven and finding an escort agency to send them back to their hometown so that her parents could see them.
Time slipped away quietly between fingers, and the day of the announcement of the results was drawing near.
The entire capital’s discussions gradually converged, and even the atmosphere in Splendorous Garden became tense in recent days. People’s conversations unconsciously revolved around the announcement of the results and the rankings.
Even Jiang Mixia felt a hint of anxiety.
Song Jingyun had a natural talent for reading and was quite capable and lucky. His journey in the imperial examinations had been smooth.
