Chapter 349: The Scholar Who Married into the Imperial Examination (27)
In early September, the summer is scorching and the weather is hot, just like people's anxious and nervous mood.
After waiting for nearly half a month, the time for the autumn examination results to be announced finally arrived.
There was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, making it impossible to move.
Unlike the academy examination, for this provincial examination, Hang's father and mother specially set aside time to wait in front of the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. Even Jiang Zui's teacher Miao Xinghuai came.
There were a total of twenty-three students in Professor Miao Xinghuai's Class B. Less than half of them, only ten, took the exam this time. The remaining thirteen had all just become scholars and their knowledge was not enough to take part in the autumn examination.
But Jiang Zui was the only student who directly participated in the provincial examination, and his performance was not inferior to the other nine people.
Compared to Jiang Zui's excitement and the large-scale mobilization, Shi Ziwei's side seemed a little dull.
Zhang Jing was very confident in Shi Ziwei's performance, so he did not come to see the list in person like Miao Xinghuai did.
The only people who came to see the list were Shi Ziwei and Zhang Shili.
Zhang Shili clenched his hands tightly. When he saw Shi Ziwei running towards him, his heart skipped a beat. He looked nervous, with anticipation in his eyes. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Husband, how is it?"
Although he asked this, Zhang Shili had already seen Shi Ziwei's exaggerated smile and felt somewhat confident.
"I got it!" Shi Ziwei said excitedly, "I got it! Husband, I got it! Eighteenth place! Husband, I'm the eighteenth place."
Hearing Shi Ziwei's words, Zhang Shili smiled widely and said, "Really?!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Ziwei nodded repeatedly in response, "Really, it's true. Husband, you will be a successful candidate in the imperial examination in the future."
After hearing this, Zhang Shili's worries and depression disappeared without a trace.
He was always worried about what would happen if Shi Ziwei failed the exam.
Fortunately! Fortunately!
The stone hit the target!
He didn't bet on the wrong horse!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shili didn't know what to say for a moment.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Zhang Shili subconsciously asked, "Husband, where is Jiang Zui?"
When Shi Ziwei heard Jiang Zui's name, the smile on his face froze instantly, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly:
"I didn't see it. I guess he didn't make the list. Brother Jiang is a bit too eager for quick success. It's not surprising that he didn't make the list this time."
Shi Ziwei knew his own strength, so he started from the end of the list, and therefore did not see Jiang Zui's ranking.
"I knew that my husband was the most powerful. No one could compare to you." Zhang Shili praised Shi Ziwei.
When Shi Ziwei heard what Zhang Shili said, he raised his chin slightly, looking like a smug villain, which was disgusting.
Zhang Shili: "My husband, let's go back to the Zhang Mansion and tell my parents the good news. They are waiting for us at the mansion."
"Yes. Such a happy event should be told to the teacher as soon as possible."
Zhang Shili glanced at Shi Ziwei and said, "Husband, why are you still calling me teacher?"
"Look at my mouth. I said the wrong thing. In the academy, of course I have to call you teacher, but outside the academy, it's more intimate to call you dad."
Shi Ziwei and Zhang Shili returned to Zhang's house happily.
In their opinion, Jiang Zui would definitely fail the exam, but the actual result showed that they were wrong.
Jiang Zui's family did not go to see the list themselves, but asked their servants to do so.
The servant rushed out from the crowd, overjoyed, and ran towards Jiang Zui, shouting, "Master, you won! Master, you won!"
Hearing the servant's words, Hang's father, mother, and Hang Huaijing all said in unison: "Really?!"
"Really, really!" The servant nodded repeatedly and replied, "Master, Madam, Young Master, it is true. Not only did my son-in-law pass the imperial examination, he also won first place!"
"what?!"
"what?!"
"what?!"
The three of them were extremely surprised.
Miao Xinghuai was extremely excited, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Not bad."
"Thank you for your compliment, teacher." Jiang Zui said calmly.
After learning about Jiang Zui's results, Miao Xinghuai suddenly felt the urge to show off, and said modestly: "I'll go see Wang Mian and the others. Remember to come to the academy tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll remember it." Jiang Zui nodded in response.
After saying that, Miao Xinghuai nodded to Hang's father and others, then turned and left.
Only after Miao Xinghuai left did Hang Huaijing relax.
Because he was Jiang Zui's teacher, Hang Huaijing didn't dare to make any intimate moves towards Jiang Zui. He stood in front of Miao Xinghuai Temple like a well-behaved kitten, not daring to move.
But when Miao Xinghuai was not present, Hang Huaijing seemed to let himself go. Regardless of the occasion, he excitedly grabbed Jiang Zui's arm, with shock and excitement in his pupils, and said happily: "Jiang Zui, you passed the exam! You passed!"
God!
Jiang Zui actually passed the imperial examination! And he was the top scorer!
What kind of powerful person did he find as his husband? !
First in the college examination and first in the provincial examination.
What about the imperial examination? ! The palace examination? !
Jiang Zui's two first places made Hang Huaijing much bolder, and he even dared to dream of becoming the first place and the top scholar!
When Hang Huaijing thought that he had a husband who was the number one scholar, he became the husband of the number one scholar.
He is so happy and lucky!
How come he has such good vision?!
Picked Jiang Zui at first sight? !
Ah ah ah ah ah--
Thinking of this, Hang Huaijing looked at Jiang Zui with eyes full of expectation.
Father Hang looked restrained, but careful observation revealed that there was still a hint of loss of composure on his face. However, in addition to his joy, there was also a hint of worry in his heart.
The first place in the list!
That was the first place in the provincial examination.
Jiang Zui will never stop here.
Maybe Jiang Zui can really get a government position.
But what if by that time Jiang Zui becomes rich and arrogant?
What should I do if I don’t want my brother anymore?
At first he thought Jiang Zui was just a poor scholar who married into his family because he was attracted by his family business.
Who would have thought that the other person was so good at studying.
I originally thought that as long as Jiang Zui could treat his brother wholeheartedly, it would be fine as long as he was a poor scholar.
But now it is obvious that Jiang Zui does not need the help of the Hang family at all.
And he knew his brother's temperament very well.
Alas, I just don’t know what Jiang Zui sees in Huai Jing.
I just hope Jiang Zui won’t change his mind.
Mother Hang and Hang Huaijing had similar expressions. Seeing her brother being so intimate with Jiang Zui in front of so many people, she pretended to be angry and scolded, "Huaijing, be mindful of the occasion."
After that, he said to Jiang Zui: "Let's go back home quickly, the messenger should be here soon."
When Hang Huaijing heard what his mother said, his lips pouted, almost enough to hang an oil bottle, and he said reluctantly: "Oh."
Hang Huaijing was about to withdraw his hand from Jiang Zui, but was stopped in time by Jiang Zui.
Jiang Zui simply ignored what Hang's mother said and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go back quickly."
When Hang Huaijing saw Jiang Zui defending him, a smile appeared on his lips and he raised his eyebrows at Hang's mother.
Seeing this, Hang's mother felt helpless, but she was very happy in her heart.
The couple has a good relationship.
Father Hang said, "Well, let's go back home."
When the four of them arrived, they sat in two carriages, one for Hang's father and mother, and one for Hang Huaijing and Jiang Zui.
After Hang Huaijing and Jiang Zui got on the carriage, Hang Huaijing became much more attentive, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Husband, you are really amazing.
From now on, you will be a juren, and I will be her husband.
My husband, you really make me proud."
Jiang Zui glanced at Hang Huaijing and said jokingly, "Since I'm so awesome... no reward?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Hang Huaijing nodded repeatedly in response.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hang Huaijing turned around, moved closer to Jiang Zui, quickly hugged the other's neck, and gave him a deep kiss.
After the kiss, Hang Huaijing stared at Jiang Zui with sparkling eyes and asked, "How about this reward...?
Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Zui gently stroked the corner of his lips, his eyes full of meaning, and said: "This is... far from enough."
After that, Jiang Zui directly hugged Hang Huaijing to his lap, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "I want some interest first, and you can reward me slowly after returning home."
Then, Jiang Zui kissed Hang Huaijing hard on the lips.
For a moment, an ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the entire carriage.
It took a full half hour to get from the Imperial Examination Hall to Hangzhou Prefecture.
Hang Huaijing was confused by Jiang Zui.
When he was about to get off the car, Jiang Zui carried him down.
"It's all your fault! I have no strength left!" Hang Huaijing glared at Jiang Zui shyly.
Jiang Zui raised his lips slightly and said, "Who do you blame? Who provoked whom first?
Also, I haven't done anything yet, and you're like this.
Husband, you should exercise."
"Ahhh." Upon hearing this, Hang Huaijing blushed and spoke incoherently: "You...you...Jiang Zui, humph! Anyway, it's all your fault that I'm like this now, you are responsible."
"Okay, I'll take responsibility." Jiang Zui said directly: "How about I carry you down?"
"No, my parents are still here. It's too embarrassing."
"Are you embarrassed now? It's too late."
As he spoke, Jiang Zui directly picked up Hang Huaijing and held him horizontally. Jiang Zui also whispered to Hang Huaijing, "Go back to the courtyard and continue."
Hearing this, Hang Huaijing's mind was filled with shyness, and he nestled in Jiang Zui's arms and refused to come out.
When Hang's father and mother saw Hang Huaijing being carried down from the carriage by Jiang Zui, they understood what happened but pretended not to see it and did not mention it.
Jiang Zui looked down at Hang Huaijing in his arms, with a wicked smile in his eyes, and said: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to take Huaijing back to the courtyard first, here..."
Before Jiang Zui could finish, Hang's mother waved her hand and urged, "Don't worry, I'm here, as well as your father."
I can’t bear to see it! I can’t bear to see it!
What a blind eye!
The young couple is not embarrassed to be in the carriage!
Although Hang's mother said this, she was actually very happy.
Her brother-in-law is really nice!
Even after passing the imperial examination, he still loved Huai Jing so much.
It seems that she was worrying too much!
