Chapter 339: The Scholar Who Married into the Imperial Examination (17)
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Le ran over breathlessly and said excitedly: "Sir, my uncle...he passed the exam! Not only that, he even ranked first."
"What?!" Hang Huaijing stood up instantly, and asked in surprise and joy: "The first place in the case?!"
Yuan Le nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I looked carefully several times, and my son-in-law got the first place in the exam! The person who announced the good news should be arriving at the Hangzhou Mansion soon."
Hang Huaijing's pupils widened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He forgot the current occasion and hugged Jiang Zui fiercely, saying: "Jiang Zui, you passed the exam, you passed the exam! You are amazing!"
Seeing this, Jiang Zui said reservedly, "Yeah."
However, unlike Jiang Zui and Hang Huaijing, the expressions on Shi Ziwei and his wife's faces could not be darker.
Shi Ziwei: “…” Passed the exam?!
Jiang Zui actually passed the exam! ?
Still the first in the case!
how can that be!
This is impossible!
How could Jiang Zui have such good luck? !
Even he...only ranked seventh that year.
Jiang Zui has obviously been delayed for three years, so why is he still as dazzling as he was three years ago?
Wait, Jiang Zui is now a scholar, so what about the provincial examination in August?
Will Jiang Zui participate? !
It's impossible. Jiang Zui has only been a scholar for a few months. Even if he takes part in the provincial examination, he will not pass.
But he was different. He had been preparing for three years and was very confident about this provincial examination.
In fact, after Shi Ziwei passed the examination for a scholar, he had an opportunity to take part in the provincial examination, but was stopped by Zhang Jing. At that time, Shi Ziwei's knowledge was not enough to pass the examination for a juren, so Zhang Jing suggested that Shi Ziwei calm down and lay a solid foundation.
Shi Ziwei comforted himself in his heart.
It doesn’t matter. Even if Jiang Zui passes the exam and becomes a scholar, so what?
The provincial examination may not be necessary.
As for Zhang Shili, after hearing that Jiang Zui had won the first place in the exam, he had only one thought in his mind.
He regretted it!
I feel so regretful that my intestines are blue!
If he had known that Jiang Zui would still be able to pass the examination and become a scholar after three years, and even perform exceptionally well to get the title of first place, how could he have broken the contract?
Zhang Shili glanced at Shi Ziwei next to him, then turned to look at Jiang Zui opposite him.
I started comparing silently in my mind.
Jiang Zui was already many times better than Shi Ziwei in terms of appearance and talent. Now, even in terms of talent and study, Shi Ziwei was crushed by Jiang Zui.
The first place in the case, Jiang Zui actually got the first place.
If things go as expected, Jiang Zui will definitely be on the list of candidates for the provincial examination, and he will be ranked at the top.
hehe--
He chose the wrong person!
He felt extremely regretful whenever he thought that he had made the wrong choice.
Zhang Shili watched Jiang Zui and Hang Huaijing getting along with each other, and a sense of jealousy inexplicably rose in his heart.
Zhang Shili coughed and interrupted, "Brother Jiang, congratulations."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Ziwei reacted instantly, and the expression on his face suddenly changed. He said with a fake smile: "Brother Jiang, congratulations, you have passed the exam and got married. You have finally gotten your wish after all the hardship."
After a pause, he continued, "By the way, Brother Jiang, will you take part in the provincial examination in August? If you do, we can go together."
Shi Ziwei wanted Jiang Zui to participate, but also didn't want him to participate.
He thought, if Jiang Zui took the exam but failed, while he passed, then he would still be better than Jiang Zui.
Unexpectedly, if Jiang Zui did not participate, he would have to wait three years, and after three years, he would have been far away in the capital.
Whether he wanted it or not, he was satisfied.
It’s a pity that Shi Ziwei forgot to think about one thing. If Jiang Zui took part in the provincial examination and achieved good results, what should he do then?
Jiang Zui didn't want to have anything to do with the top and bottom protagonists, however, whether it was because of the protagonist's halo or for some other reason, no matter where he and Hang Huaijing went, they would run into the top and bottom protagonists.
Jiang Zui frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and said, "It depends on the situation."
In fact, Jiang Zui had already planned to take part in the provincial examination.
Shi Ziwei did not get an accurate answer from Jiang Zui. He thought Jiang Zui was weighing the pros and cons and was not confident in himself. With a glimmer of joy in his eyes, he advised: "Brother Jiang, you won the first place in the college examination this time. Why don't you just go down and give it a try? If you wait any longer, you will have to wait for another three years. How many three years can you have in your life?"
There was encouragement and temptation in Shi Ziwei's words.
Three years... Jiang Zui has already wasted three years, is there another three years to waste?
He believed that as long as he encouraged him like this, Jiang Zui would definitely participate.
Jiang Zui's answer was exactly what he expected.
"Then... I'll try it?" Jiang Zui looked at Hang Huaijing and asked with a question in his eyes: "Husband, what do you think?"
Jiang Zui's last words instantly made Shi Ziwei and Zhang Shili look towards Hang Huaijing.
Shi Ziwei: "......" MD, the fate still needs the consent of the husband? It is really not easy for a son-in-law to marry into the family.
Zhang Shili: “…” Jiang Zui actually asked Hang Huaijing about such an important matter? !
Hang Huaijing felt the three people's gazes on him, and said hesitantly: "You... Jiang Zui, you ask me? Do you think... if I don't let you participate, you won't participate?"
Jiang Zui nodded, "Of course, you are my husband, if you don't let me participate, I won't participate. If you let me participate, I will participate.
Don’t you have the final say in our family? "
Jiang Zui's words made Hang Huaijing very happy. He raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Do you want to participate?"
"I also can."
"Is it too rushed? Can you do it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zui didn't care whether there were outsiders present or not, and whispered in Hang Huaijing's ear, "Don't you know whether I can do it or not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hang Huaijing was so scared that he subconsciously pushed Jiang Zui away. With a blush on the tips of his ears, he looked at Shi Ziwei and Zhang Shili as if he was trying to cover up his mistake and pursed his lips, "Ahem, you...you...since you said so, then join us."
Jiang Zui's voice was very low, but Shi Ziwei and Zhang Shili, who were sitting across the table, could vaguely hear something. In addition, Hang Huaijing looked like he had been teased, and combined with what Jiang Zui had said, Shi Ziwei and Zhang Shili immediately understood.
Shi Ziwei: “…” Damn! In broad daylight, in front of them, Jiang Zui was playing pretty wild.
Zhang Shili: “…” Bah! Hang Huaijing is so shameless, relying on that face to hook up with people.
Hang Huaijing has a fair and smooth face and big watery eyes, which makes people want to love him at first sight, especially because he has an aura that makes people want to be protected.
But she is playful and cute, enthusiastic and cheerful, soft and sticky, like a glutinous rice dumpling, making people want to pinch her.
Zhang Shili is different. He is well-educated, generous, and has a calm temperament.
"Since it is my husband's wish, I will naturally obey." Jiang Zui looked calm, without any sense of being suffocated by being controlled by her husband.
