Chapter 654： Zhang Zhan married

Chapter 654 Zhang Zhan married

After the No. 1 scholar parade, Wang Chuangui was exhausted, and the excitement had dissipated long ago. Fortunately, his mother did not give up completely, and she returned home at night with a mouthful of warm chicken soup.

Sitting next to Wang Chuangui, Mrs. Ma told him about the excitement during the day.

Wang Chuangui almost choked himself with a mouthful of chicken soup: "Pfft—"

Halfway through the spray, he remembered that this might be a rare good thing he could drink, so he stopped quickly and swallowed the rest.

Wiped his mouth before saying: "Why did Ayu sell so many things, then today's expenses—"

The cost of Defenglou is not cheap. A table usually costs more than ten taels of silver. This time, Mrs. Wang directly booked the entire Defenglou.

In addition to their own family members and their usual relatives and friends, Mrs. Wang also invited some students who knew Wang Chuangui, as well as other candidates from Wangbei County.

They didn’t accept any gifts from them, so the expenses all fell on the Wang family. Before that, Wang Chuangui was still trembling in his heart, for fear that his old lady would put the debt on him again. That was not icing on the cake, but worse.

"When did you see our mother suffer?" Mrs. Ma whispered into Wang Chuangui's ear, "Mother discussed with the new chef in our family and sent three prescriptions to the shopkeeper of Defenglou. The shopkeeper only charged a deposit of ten taels of silver, and heard that you passed the second-class exam, and all subsequent money will be waived."

Only then did Wang Chuangui feel some real feelings, and tears welled up in his eyes. Looking at the bowl of chicken soup in his hand, he finally felt the value of his own existence.

It turned out that he could save such a large sum of money for the family by being admitted to the second class!

"Later, the shopkeeper heard that our Ayu's fiancé is the current number one scholar. They all said that in the future, Ayu will get married and eat at Defenglou for free. Our Wang family can only pay 80% of the meal price."

Wang Chuangui's smile froze.

He also wants to eat for free.

In this way, even if you are down in the future, you won't be left without food.

Of course, such unpromising thoughts are only wandering in my heart. With my old mother around, it is absolutely impossible to have such a day.

"I'm a late bloomer, and naturally I can't compare with young people." Wang Chuangui had already thought about it in his heart, and the arrogance he used to have had been worn down unknowingly.

I remember that when he was in the Golden Palace, everyone thought he was a late bloomer, so he was confident. Only he knew that his palm was almost poked by his nails. He was really nervous!

Looking at other students, they are actually similar to me, only Qin Huai is truly neither humble nor overbearing.

Not only that, when I answered, I didn't answer fluently. During this period, Qin Huai reminded myself twice, otherwise, it would be unclear whether I could get the favor.

Qin Huai is really talented and hardworking. If you really meet this kind of person, you won't even feel jealous.

People who are more talented than you work harder than you, and it's not normal if they can't catch up.

"Why don't you ask me how much Ayu earned today?" After Wang Chuangui finished drinking the chicken soup, Mrs. Ma poured hot water to wipe his face. Hurry up, today is an eye-opener for me, do you know that those students who usually pride themselves on being noble, were fooled by Ayu today—”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ma smiled again: "That child is also a sincere heart, and he will donate half of the winnings. Speaking of which, I only know this today. The difference between nobles and ordinary people is still very different. Big one, once Ayuyuxiang Lord's identity is revealed, those students don't even dare to say serious words. I have heard them by chance before, and they talk loudly, so they really dare to say such words, dare to scold anyone, I also said that they are really hard bones."

Wang Chuangui took the handkerchief, took out the dirty water himself, and brought in a cup of calming tea for Ma Shi.

Then I went to bring the foot washing water, and found clean socks as in the past.

While taking off his shoes and socks, he soaked his feet with Ma Shi, and sighed: "Ayu has never been an ordinary person, her journey is far longer than ours."

Mrs. Ma also laughed: "Yes, before Ayu came, I never thought that one day I would be able to come to Wanning City and talk to the wives of some noble families. Let alone our Saburo and Qianying. After kissing, you also became a second-class Jinshi, it's like a dream."

"The Tian family gave us a three-month holiday. After three days, I will go to the Inner Palace to confer the title. After I get off the official position, I can arrange it by myself for the next three months. As long as I arrive at the appointment place when I take office, I specially After asking, you can bring your family to the post."

Mrs. Ma didn't understand these things, so he just asked: "I heard from Ayu that after passing the Jinshi exam, you can still go to the Imperial Academy to continue studying. Are you not going to study?"

"I'm getting old, so I won't compare myself with young people, so I'll find an official position, which can be regarded as a peace of mind. A Jinshi has been conferred by the court, Qin Huai is the number one scholar, and now he has led the Imperial Academy Compilation, and other official positions will be awarded after three years." Wang Chuangui patted Mrs. Ma's hand, "I have really suffered for you these years. We have a mother to support our family, and our children and grandchildren will be promising. In the future, I will be a When you become an official, you may not be able to work hard, you just have to be your official wife without worrying too much."

"What are you talking about? Husband and wife are one body. In terms of hard work, I am not half as good as my mother. My mother's hard work is all in my heart." Mrs. Ma looked at Wang Chuangui and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back Going back, he looked up at the door again.

In May, the night is getting dark, and a round moon that is not too round hangs above the sky, illuminating the dreams of many people.

After soaking his feet, Ma Shi wanted to pour the footwashing water, but was stopped by Wan Chuangui.

"Let me go."

"No matter how much I am a Jinshi, I am still your husband-in-law. You can't even give me this opportunity to be courteous." After Wang Chuangui finished speaking, he walked away with a footbath in his hand.

Mashi looked at it, his eye sockets became moist again, and his heart, which was ups and downs, suddenly sank for some reason.

She walked into the back room slowly, and took out a small box from the compartment, which was given to her by Mrs. Wang, and asked her to keep it by her side.

Perhaps, before accompanying Xianggong to take office, it's time to write off the account of mother's place for him.

On the second day, Ayu learned that Qin Huai was already the editor of the Imperial Academy, and immediately jumped three feet for joy.

"That's great. We can work together in the future. If you're tired, you can come to the Astrology Department to eat. Now, Sister Tangyuan has a good relationship with the cook in the small kitchen over there, and Aunt Fat, the cook of our Astrology Department." Well, I cook food in different ways every day, and it will be even better if you share it!"

Qin Huai brushed the hair from Ayu's mouth, and smiled along with her: "Well, but I still have three months to officially start duty, thank you for waiting for me for another three months."

"Just in time, grandma said that she would go back to Hu's Village to organize the wedding of the third brother and the fourth brother. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the family to get together when everyone takes office or studies. Why don't you take advantage of the three Before the end of the month, get married first." Ayu leaned into Qin Huai's ear and whispered, "Besides, Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhang Zhan are also getting married, and it will be in the middle of next month, so it's just right for us to go back."

Besides, Village Chief Hu and Mrs. Hu have persuaded the whole village to formally set up a royal ancestral hall for the Wang family in Hujia Village.

It was Wang Chuanfu who nodded his head tremblingly.

The fact that Wang Chuangui won the second-class Jinshi, after all, is a major event that opened up the world, and it is considered a major event in the entire Yongding County. From the classmates in Fucheng, to the neighbors in Nanhe Town, and the villagers around Hujia Village, they are all waiting for this Jinshi master. go.

Of course, they also look forward to the Xiangjun and his son-in-law who became the number one scholar to go back together, then they are really honored!

"Brother Ayou, are you going?"

Qin Huai replied without thinking, "Go."

As a result, after the Yongguo Mansion managed to organize a grand banquet for the number one scholar, Emperor Minghua waited three days and three nights to finish approving the memorial at high speed, and brought the recovering Queen Qin to the banquet, only to learn that Qin Huairen had left early up.

All the guests in the hall could only show awkward yet polite smiles, and praised the young master Qin who hadn't seen much before Yong Guogong from the air.

As for Emperor Minghua, he was sitting on the main seat and taking a breather.

He looked resentfully at Empress Qin beside him, gritted his teeth and asked, "When will you let Huaier return?"

Empress Qin smiled slightly, picked up the calming tea offered by others, and the old **** took a sip, and after a while, he answered slowly: "I can't understand what the Holy Majesty said."

"I know I was wrong. When he comes back, you can do whatever you want. I will never stop you. Isn't that okay?"

It's almost time to ask for words.

Such an excellent son can't show off, he is really aggrieved!

Empress Qin covered her forehead, as if sighing: "Ah, suddenly I have a headache..."

Emperor Ming Hua stood up immediately in shock, and dragged Empress Qin away in front of the more terrified guests.

"Go back to the palace, Xuan Tai Physician."

As a result, as soon as she left the gate of Yongguo Duke's Mansion, Empress Qin walked gracefully, saluted Emperor Minghua, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, I feel much better. I will walk around first, and I have the right to relax. When the time comes , I will go back by myself."

"I-"

"Congratulations to the Holy Majesty." Empress Qin leaned slightly.

Emperor Minghua took a deep breath, intending to mention the majesty of the emperor: "I—"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Qin bent over even more.

Emperor Minghua's eyes became more resentful.

She might as well be as ruthless as in the past, and she can handle it by herself, but now, he is at a loss.

In the end, he could only watch Empress Qin leave.

Emperor Ming Hua looked sideways at Eunuch De next to him.

Eunuch De was caught off guard and looked dazed.

"My lord?"

"Your monthly salary will be deducted!" Emperor Ming Hua frowned.

Eunuch De: "Huh?"

Seeing Eunuch De's surprised and aggrieved expression, Emperor Ming Hua felt a little more at ease.

Not long after, the bonus around Empress Qin went back and forth, handed something over, and said to Emperor Ming Hua: "This is what your empress specially left for the Holy One."

After speaking, he left.

Emperor Ming Hua signaled Eunuch De to bring it over, opened it, and found a piece of jade pendant wrapped in the handkerchief. Judging by the carving, it looked like the handwriting of King Zhuo.

The jade color is transparent and the carving is exquisite. It is his favorite.

Emperor Ming Hua was delighted, immediately tore off the piece from his body, and threw it to Eunuch De: "You are rewarded."

Then, with Eunuch De's surprise expression on his face, he put on a new jade pendant and walked briskly back to the palace.

In the blink of an eye, it is mid-June, and Hujia Village is full of joyful decorations.

Ayu and others stood guard at the entrance of Hujia Village, looking forward to it.

A faint sound of suona came from far and near, and the dog's head on the yellow horned tree shouted: "Here we come, the wedding party is here!"

Ayu was very excited, pulled the pole beside him, and pulled the glutinous rice balls, and hurriedly said: "We will have to test Uncle Zhang Zhan later, we must not let him underestimate Aunt Zhou!"
