The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 392

Qin Qingdong rolled his eyes in return, "You are flexible and can take advantage of the situation. Silang is filial and has guided us in our studies. He is also known as a mentor. He will naturally follow the arrangements of the Duke for this marriage. Who would have thought that you——"

Song Guanzhou looked back, "What's wrong with me?"

"… She is cold and aloof, but stubborn, and always quarrels with Shiro…"

After a good accusation, Song Guanzhou was spared. Song Guanzhou finally concluded, "Husband and wife always need to adjust. I married into the mansion, and my parents passed away one after another, which made me feel heavy-hearted. Now it's all right. Look, you have come back to the right path and can still talk and joke with me."

Thinking back to the beginning, Qin Qingdong was the person who hated her the most, no doubt about it.

The two chatted and laughed, waiting for the summer breeze to bring good news. Seeing that the sun was scorching and approaching noon, Linxi and Alu ran in one after the other, "Fourth Young Master's Madam - "

When Honeysuckle and the others heard this, they quickly stood up. Alu ran up to them, panting.

Chun Ge stepped forward and stroked his arm, "Hurry up and tell me, Brother Alu, did you win?"

Aru nodded, then shook his head.

Lin Xi beside him quickly said, "Congratulations to the Fourth Young Master's Madam, congratulations to the Fourth Young Master's Madam, Master Xu is on the list, and the Xiao family's cousin...did not make the list this year."

When Song Guanzhou heard this, his expression was mixed with joy and worry.

"Xu's cousin is on the list, Xiao's cousin is not..." Looking at Qin Qingdong, Qin Qingdong was used to it, "Silang will fight again next year. He has a good foundation. I'm afraid he has lost his level this year..."

Just some words of comfort.

A'lu ate honeysuckle and brought a full cup of warm tea. He took a breath and then told the story, "Among the ten or so young men who came to see the young lady to learn mathematics that day, only my cousin and Mr. Huang San made the list."

These words startled Song Guanzhou.

"They are all from Long En Academy, but so many of them failed the exam. So, how many students were admitted this year?"

Aru touched his head and forgot about cleaning.

Linxi next to him smiled and replied, "Madam, the second young master only selected 120 candidates this year."

Hey!

Qin Qingdong sat up straight and said, "Only so few people were admitted this year, 100 fewer than last year." It is said to be a special examination, and it should be another year for the imperial examination next spring.

Thinking of this, he understood again.

"If Xiao Silang fails to make the list this year, why not try again next year?"

Song Guanzhou listened carefully, "The third son of the Huang family? Is it Huang Zhi?" A'ru nodded quickly, "That's him, Madam. The eldest son of the Liu family also failed the exam—"

How cruel.

Besides, outside the east wall of the Ministry of Rites, there were crowds of people, and someone in the innermost part was reading out names aloud. Those who couldn't squeeze in and heard the names at the back couldn't suppress their surprise and shouted, "Read it again, was it Zhuang Wenqin just now?"

The people who answered him said in unison, "Yes, it is Zhuang Wenqin."

Zhuang Wenqin, who was in his forties, suddenly sat down on the ground, muttering to himself, "I passed the exam! I passed the exam!" He cried for joy, and acquaintances around him hurriedly helped him up, "Congratulations, Zhuang Sheng! Congratulations, Zhuang Sheng!" Where there is such comedy, there is also sadness.

He still didn't understand, so he asked again, "But Li Jiu?"

The person reading the list answered, "It's Li Jiu, the Jiu in acupuncture." Different pronunciations, different prospects. Li Jiu covered his eyes and cried, "It was Li Jiu who won the title last time, and this year it's Li Jiu who made the list again. But I, Old Jiu, always lack the ability."

He fell to the ground and no one could help him up.

Such sorrow and joy became the norm. After hearing what Aru and Linxi said, Xiao Bei finally felt unwilling, and pulled Xu Lingbai to the front. The two of them watched from the beginning to the end. He was the second to last to see Xu Lingbai's name, and Xiao Bei's joy was truly in vain.

"Congratulations Ling Bai."

Xu Lingbai was a little hesitant, his face flushed and his words were stupid. At this time, he was on the list while the other party failed. He couldn't say anything, "Fourth Brother——"

"What's the matter? We can fight again next year! It's better for one of us to make the list than for both of us to fail." After saying that, she led Xu Lingbai out of the crowd. Qi Yueniang, Zhang Fanghui and Xu Lingqiao, accompanied by Mi Li and the maids and old women, stood in front of the carriage, looking forward to it. When they saw the two men coming out, Zhang Fanghui took a half step forward, "Husband..."

"No problem, I'll come back next year."

Zhang Fanghui had a look of regret on her face, but she couldn't see clearly because of the veil. She could only whisper, "My husband, don't be discouraged."

"Don't worry, your husband is responsible. Fortunately, Ling Bai is on the list, so the mansion won't be empty-handed this year!"

After saying that, he congratulated Xu Lingqiao again.

Xu Lingqiao thanked him and went back. Xiao Bei looked at the shy and inarticulate brother and sister and said sincerely, "Regardless of other things, you and your sister depend on each other. Now that Lingbai has achieved fame, your sister Lingqiao also has someone to rely on. It can be said that all the hardships have paid off."

Xiao Bei failed the exam, but he comforted everyone instead.

Huang Zhi and Liu Furan were also in the same mood not far away. Liu Furan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Congratulations on your success. It's me who is superficial in knowledge. I failed the exam twice."

Huang Zhi was overjoyed.

But when he saw that his best friend failed, he felt regretful and his joy was greatly reduced. Liu Furan felt uncomfortable and said a few words with difficulty before getting in the car and leaving.

Huang Dalang was very happy and wanted to show off in public to let everyone know that his brother was on the list.

Huang Zhi had to suppress his arrogance several times before he finally subdued the corners of his mouth that were harder than a weight.

"Go back quickly, my father and mother are waiting for your letter."

Huang Zhou pulled Huang Zhi to leave, but Huang Zhi was looking for someone in the crowd. Huang Zhou was puzzled and put his hand on his shoulder to look, "Who do you want to see? Fu Ran is back too, let's go."

Huang Zhi knew who he was looking at.

Unfortunately, there were too many people and I didn't see the person I wanted to see. I rode back, but I saw two carriages in a remote place. In front of them stood two or three women wearing veils, and next to them were the two cousins ​​of the mansion and the prince Pei Chen.

It’s Xu Lingqiao!

He was about to go over, but Huangzhou grabbed the reins of his horse and said, "Don't be rash. Now that you're on the list, do you still want to poke someone else's lungs?"

The number of students admitted in this special examination was even lower than that in the previous examination.

There are few happy families, and sadness is the norm in the world.

Huang Zhi was dragged away by Huang Zhou. "The Zhenguo Mansion is really in the limelight. Two years ago, Pei Silang passed the imperial examination and became famous. Now I heard that a cousin also made the list. The feng shui is really good."

Huang Zhi understood what was being said in the wind.

"He is the cousin of the fourth young master's wife of the Pei family. He has a noble character and is a rare talent."

"Then you should keep in touch with each other in the future. If you want to serve in the same court, it is a great fate!" Huangzhou didn't know anything else, but suddenly asked, "The woman in Jinchun Bieyuan——"

Huangzhou immediately shook his head like a rattle, "It's just a trick, don't ask! The trouble you and your second brother got into -"

"It's just me."

"What?" Huang Zhou didn't understand, so he rode his horse forward a few steps and caught up with his third brother. "What did you say?" Huang Zhi repeated, "It was me that night, and she was a girl from a good family—"

"Don't mention it again! It's normal for a man to have a casual romance outside, just forget it!"

"Big brother-"

"What? Yunzhi hasn't even married yet, and you're already looking for that prostitute...?"
