Jiang Rong was deceived for a lifetime, only learning the truth at the moment of her death.
Returning to ten years ago, she finds herself on the road to elope and escape her marriage. Jiang R...
Chapter 128 My Husband is the Ideal Husband
Jiang Wan thought to herself that she really couldn't forget her old love for Shen Wenyuan.
Pretending to draw a clear line between the two, but actually still paying close attention.
But now, Shen Wenyuan is her fiancé, and Jiang Rong can only envy and be jealous secretly!
"Second sister, you are here to see the list too." Jiang Wan deliberately twisted her waist and walked in front of Jiang Rong, showing off: "Chen Lang is extremely talented and passed the imperial examination. Oh, by the way, the prince is not taking the imperial examination, so why are you here to see it, second sister?"
"Second sister, as the saying goes, men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. For a woman, the most important thing is to choose a man of talent and ambition. Entering the government through the imperial examination is the right way. Relying on the legacy of one's ancestors is just a second-generation heir who will just eat and wait for death."
Jiang Wanming sneered.
Jiang Rong hated it most when others said something bad about Xie Lingxi...
The light in her eyes suddenly turned colder. "A gentleman values his character. My husband's character is precious. I have indeed married a perfect husband. Thank you for your concern, cousin. Speaking of the influence of our ancestors... my uncle filled my father's position. It is a great favor from the emperor. You should be grateful. Why are you still making up stories about your own father? Such disloyal and unfilial words are really treasonous!"
"I didn't say anything about my father..." Jiang Wan hurriedly defended herself.
But she didn't dare to directly say that she was mocking Xie Lingxi...
"No need to quibble. You are a woman with poor morals and no respect for your king or father. Go back and reflect on your mistakes!" Jiang Rong acted like a cousin lecturing.
Jiang Wan was so angry that she couldn't refute.
Xie Ruojiao clapped her hands in agreement, "Sister-in-law is right. Miss Jiang, even though your father may be living a life of idleness and waiting to die in your eyes, as a daughter, you shouldn't say such things."
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment.
The sound of firecrackers popped one after another downstairs.
"The first place in the provincial examination is Song Heng!" the clerk downstairs in the building where the results were announced shouted in approval.
The clerk will call out the names of the top three.
"What? First place!" Xie Ruojiao was surprised and looked at Song Heng happily, "Song Heng, you won the first place in the provincial examination!"
Song Heng was also a little surprised, but he remained calm and just nodded slightly, saying modestly, "It was a fluke."
Jiang Wan on the side was stunned. What?
This seemingly inconspicuous and poor scholar in front of him actually got the first place in the provincial examination, which is even better than Shen Wenyuan.
And she was showing off here just now...
For a moment, Jiang Wan felt even more ashamed and angry, and left in a hurry as if she was escaping.
Return to Jiang's house.
Jiang Wanyou felt very angry and wanted to deal with Jiang Rong to vent her anger, but she didn't know where to start.
Jiang Rong is no longer the orphan whose parents died early.
She is the Crown Prince's wife of the Northern King.
With Xie Lingxi protecting her, she couldn't do anything.
After thinking hard for a long time, Jiang Wan's eyes rolled.
Jiang Rong is holding a cat in his arms?
She remembered!
Jiang Rong likes cats. When the cat of the Jiang family was sent away, she cried bitterly...
If the cat died now, wouldn't she be heartbroken again?
Thinking of Jiang Rong's miserable look...
Jiang Wan was in a very good mood.
Since she couldn't deal with Jiang Rong, couldn't she just kill a cat to vent her anger?
…
Song Heng ranked first in the Beijing City Examination.
His always simple and dilapidated courtyard was immediately filled with people. Various noble families in the capital sent invitations one after another...
Song Heng refused all the calls.
Everyone inquired about his background and learned that he was working as a book editor in Wanjuan Bookstore...
But at that time, Senior Qianqiu only accepted Chi Moyan, but did not accept him as a student...
Many people secretly laughed at the Northern Prince's Mansion for having poor vision and missing out on the precious pearl.
No one knew that Song Heng had privately offered three cups of tea to thank the Crown Prince's wife for her teaching.
The next day...
The results of the Jiangnan provincial examination were transmitted back to the capital.
"Crown Princess, I have good news for you! Young Master Chi has won the first place in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination!" Feicui came in happily to report.
Jiang Rong smiled brightly, "Very good."
"Mr. Chi is now on his way back to Beijing." Feicui said with a smile.
Chushu had previously sent back news that someone had killed Chi Moyan on the river.
but……
With Chushu's careful protection, Chi Moyan arrived safely in Jiangnan.
Chi Moyan is not a vegetarian either.
After winning the first place in the provincial examination, he immediately publicly invited Dong Zefei to take part in the imperial examination.
"Dong Oogway, do you dare to compete in the imperial examination?"
Once these words were spoken, they spread throughout Jiangnan, and the reputation of the madman rose to a higher level.
…
Princess Anyang's Mansion.
"Waste! A bunch of waste! I asked you to kill a commoner, but not only did he not die, he even got first place in the Jiangnan County Examination!" Princess Anyang angrily smashed another batch of newly placed tea sets:
"How dare you openly challenge my son. He is just a commoner, he must die! I want him to not even be able to take part in the imperial examination!"
Zhou Gou knelt on one side and said carefully, "Your Highness, according to the information sent back by the assassin... the Northern Prince's Palace specially sent secret guards to protect him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
"What's the point of having a bunch of you trash? You can't even kill a person!" Princess Anyang's face turned pale.
"Your Highness, please calm down! In next month's imperial examination, the head of the Hanlin Academy will be the deputy chief examiner. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When the time comes, you only need to pass the exam to make the ignorant people shut up." Zhou Gou said hurriedly.
In order to help Dong Zefei pass the imperial examination and quell the cheating rumors, the eldest princess has been making arrangements everywhere.
It just so happens that the Dong family now supports Prince Duan.
There were three examiners for this examination, one chief examiner and two deputy examiners. In addition to the chief examiner, who was appointed by the emperor, the other two deputy examiners were all selected by the ministers in the court...
Both the Prince of Duan's party and the Prince's party had the support of civil officials, and each pushed forward one person.
Among them, the one from Prince Duan’s party was Liang Yan, the head of the Hanlin Academy.
In the past, it would have been a bit troublesome to bribe Liang Yan, but now they were all in the same boat...
"Indeed, God is helping me. Liang Yan is the examiner this time, and my son will definitely pass. That Chi Moyan changed his paper and didn't allow him to pass!" Princess Anyang said angrily.
Zhou Gou thought, Chi Moyan was the first in this year's Jiangnan County Examination. If he failed, it would be very eye-catching!
The article he wrote will surely be circulated among everyone in the capital. If Master Shen finds out that he has not read the paper he wrote, wouldn't it be proof that someone has tampered with it?
If we investigate further, won't everything be ruined?
This eldest princess really only grows in age but not in brains!
"Your Highness, this matter may not be appropriate..." Zhou Gou explained the key point tactfully.
Princess Anyang was able to distinguish the importance of things, but she was still upset and said depressedly, "Isn't it possible that Chi Moyan's ranking is higher than my son's?"
"A ranking that is too high will easily be exposed, a ranking that is in the middle is just right. Nowadays, you don't even dare to go out, or you will be laughed at if you go out. The most important thing is for you to pass the imperial examination, so that you can resolve the current situation!" Zhou Gou said earnestly.
After explaining the pros and cons, the princess was finally persuaded.
The attendant reported that the wife of the Minister of Rites, Ms. Xiang, wanted to see him.
"Thank you, Princess, for your help. Now Zhen'er has been successfully selected into the palace, and I have come here specially to express my gratitude." Xiang said with a grateful face.
Along with the provincial examination, this year's palace selection also ended.
The list was just finalized in the past two days, and Xiang Zhener was selected to enter the palace.
