031 New Top Scholar

In a blink of an eye, the day of the palace examination came. Although the examination only lasted for one day, it was based on the years of accumulation of these talented people, and they were taking the examination at the feet of the emperor. It would be difficult for those with poor psychological quality to display one-tenth of their talents.

Ning Wan knew that Zhu Wanyi would be foolproof this time, but he was still nervous, fearing that his intervention would cause a butterfly effect and make him lose his reputation.

After finishing the exam, Zhu Wanyi was calm. Since he no longer had to go to school, he spent time with his wife, pruning flowers and plants, playing with pen and ink, and cooking fresh dishes. He looked confident and content.

When the list was released three days later, there was naturally a sea of ​​people in front of the list, so crowded that it was impossible to insert a needle. Ning Wan wanted to pull Zhu Wanyi closer to take a look, but she had to give up when she saw the noisy attitude.

“Don’t be anxious, madam, what is supposed to come will always come.”

Ning Wan licked the candied haws he just bought and rolled her eyes: “Tch, who said I was in a hurry.”

From time to time, gongs and drums were played on the street to announce the good news, and congratulations were shouted loudly. In the evening, firecrackers sounded in front of the small house they rented. When they opened the door, they saw five or six dancing dragons roaming around like dragons.In the flying and leaping style, one person in the lead wore a festive red hat and banged the gongs and drums in his hands: “Congratulations! Wan Yi wishes grandpa the third prize and the best of luck in the 29th year of the imperial examination and the top prize!”

The so-called three-yuan pass refers to winning the first place in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the imperial examination. It is the highest honor that all students dream of under the imperial examination system.As early as the moment when the firecrackers sounded, many people gathered at the door of the small house, which was usually crowded, to watch the excitement, and their envy was beyond words.

Even Zhu Wanyi, who had always been self-possessed, was stunned on the spot, but Ning Wan reacted faster. He took out the money bag he had prepared and distributed a piece of silver to everyone who announced the good news. Everyone smiled with joy and said that the number one scholar in the new department was really generous.

On the opposite side, Chao Yinqing’s house was completely silent. He went to guard the imperial list early last night, and even after the chamberlain posted the last list, he could not find his name.When her mother, Mrs. Zhen, saw the noisy scene of gongs and drums opposite, she couldn’t help being irritated. She picked up the broom beside her and swung it at Chao Yinqing: “Let you study hard! You have been perfunctory and flattering the noble man all day long, and now you haven’t even won the top three! Let me beat you to death, you little scoundrel!”

Chao Yinqing hid while wailing: “Mother…Mother, please be gentle. Prince Wang said that in as little as a month or as slowly as half a year, he will find me a minor official from the ninth rank…”

When Mrs. Zhen heard this, she beat her even harder: “You have the nerve to tell me? The person opposite me is the number one scholar in the sixth grade. Don’t embarrass me. From tomorrow onwards, you will continue to study hard for three years. If you don’t succeed, you will go home to herd cattle and farm for me!”

Not to mention how crazy his family was, the young couple across from him were sitting cross-legged on the bed facing each other. There was a bright red winning message in the middle. Ning Wan’s mind was like fireworks, crackling for a long time. She blinked: “Really?”

Zhu Wanyi chuckled helplessly: “How can this be false?”

“Ms. sir, you are awesome!” Ning Wan stood up and threw herself into Zhu Wanyi’s arms. Her arms went around his back and wrapped tightly around him. She was really happy.

The heartbeats of the two were close to each other, one by one, like beating a drum. Holding each other in the arms, the atmosphere began to be charming. I don’t know who murmured softly, and the two of them kissed, and they were in harmony…

For a long time, Ning Wan’s muscles and bones were soft, and she leaned lazily in the man’s arms. Zhu Wanyi gently stroked her smooth satin back with his hand: “Go to sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow to pack my packages.”

“Well…”
