CH 34.1

As for the second place, that is the cousin of the Crown Prince, who had already booked a good marriage since early on, so it wouldn’t be their turn.

As for the third place, although the other party’s father is only a sixth rank official, he has performed very well in the Ministry of Work recently, and may even rise in the future. The most important thing is that Wu Wei’an really got into the First-Rank after working hard desperately for several months. This kind of tenacity is really rare, and it can be regarded as a good seedling.

And now, when the entire red clothes is put on, his appearance also looks decent.

Alas, why did they think that the Eldest Young Master of the Wu family couldn’t do anything at that time? Sure enough, it seems that fine feathers indeed make fine birds?

But it’s too late to say anything now. This number three in the Imperial Examination was already picked up by the Third Miss from the Ji family long ago!

When it comes to this, people who previously agreed that Ji Yunxi was blind feel a little uncomfortable now.

And they also remembered one more thing. This Wu Wei’an won the first prize, then, wouldn’t the money that Ji Yunxi threw at Dechang gambling house have to be paid back tenfold?

Tenfold!

Ji Yunxi smashed fifty thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver, which means that Ji Yunxi will be able to get five hundred thousand taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver back!!

The Li family booked a lunch banquet in the Fuman building and invited all the scholars to attend the banquet.

Ji Mingshuang knew a lot of people, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the Fuman building, he was pulled away by everyone.

Wu Wei’an followed behind his second younger brother and walked with the crowd.

This Fuman building is the best and most expensive restaurant in the capital. The meals and drinks during the banquet are really not bad.

In the past, Wu Wei’an would never be absent. But today, he whispered to his younger brother: “You go to eat. I have something to do so I have to go back to our house first.”

Wu Weining nodded and did not take it to heart. Wu Wui’an saw Wu Weining left and then went to find his fellow students.

Wu Wei’an hurried back to the Wu house.

Not long after that, an old and small carriage came out of the backyard of the Wu house and staggered towards the direction of the Ji Mansion.

It was unknown what was put in the carriage as the horse pulling the carriage was obviously pacing very heavily, even a little overwhelmed, and the speed was also very slow. It didn’t go that far even after a long time had passed.

Wu Wei’an in the carriage urged in a low voice: “Hurry up.”

The housekeeper who was sitting on the outside and driving the carriage has a round face: “Young Master, it is already the fastest.”

Wu Wei’an, who has been completely used to the speed of Ji Yunxi’s carriage because he was used to riding in the other party’s carriage these days, expressed: “??”

The round-faced housekeeper reminded him: “Young Master, this horse is the cheapest horse in the market.”

In his opinion, it was already not easy for this horse to hold up until this day and still be able to walk now.

“Oh.” Wu Wei’an finally remembered this. He had just come to the capital last year and he was very short of money and could only buy the cheapest things. “This horse has been working hard these days. After today, let it have a good rest in the stable.”

The round-faced housekeeper said: “What about this carriage?”

Wu Wei’an raised his eyebrows, his tone was indifferent, and he was rather disdainful too when he said: “Wouldn’t it do just by buying a Ferghana Horse?”

Round-faced housekeeper: “??”

Then he added again: “Oh, let’s change the carriage too. Just buy a carriage like the one Madam uses.”

At this moment, Wu Wei’an finally understood why his fiancee usually always looked so indifferent.

He is also very indifferent now. Indifferent, from the inside out.

……

At noon, Ji Yunxi was just getting ready to get up.

The Palace Examination ended last night. Her Eldest Brother, Seventh Brother, and her cash cow came back late. It was already late at night when she lay down to sleep.

Wan Xiang and Baofu waited on her to wash and dress. As soon as they changed Ji Yunxi’s clothes, the maidservant outside the courtyard reported that Young Master Wu had come.
