Shi Qingluo's family sent Xiao Hanzheng to the examination room.

After he finished the exam, they prepared hot ginger soup for him to drink as soon as he got on the carriage.

After finishing three exams in a row, Xiao Hanzheng came out of the examination room as elegantly as ever.

This was in stark contrast to the other scholars next to him, who all looked pale or exhausted.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao's mother and others were standing not far away waiting.

When Xiao Hanzheng saw the few people, a smile flashed across his cold eyes and he walked towards them quickly.

Shi Qingluo smiled and handed him the hand warmer. "You should be the most energetic candidate after three exams."

Although Xiao Hanzheng's hands didn't feel cold, he still took the hand warmer from his young wife.

He joked again, "Of course, the husband you like at first sight must be different from others."

Shi Qingluo glared at him and said, "My first impression of you was mother and my younger brothers and sisters."

Xiao Hanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yes, yes, I was the one you liked at second sight."

She knew that the young wife was attracted by his family first, and then saw that he was good-looking, so she took the initiative to marry him.

As the two were talking, a weak voice suddenly came from behind.

"Jin Yu."

Xiao Hanzheng turned around and greeted with a faint smile, "Henglong."

Shi Qingluo looked over and saw a fair and handsome young man walking towards him.

The other person looked a little weak, but his clothes were neat and he did not look disheveled.

Zhuo Jun nodded to him, then looked at Shi Qingluo and asked with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law, right?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, this is my wife Shi Qingluo."

Then he introduced Shi Qingluo, "This is Zhuo Jun, with the courtesy name Henglong. I am a candidate from the same class as you."

When he was in the capital, he would occasionally be invited to meet friends or attend book clubs organized by scholars.

I happened to meet Zhuo Jun and another person, and we got along well, so we became friends.

Shi Qingluo gave Zhuo Jun a faint smile, "Hello, Master Zhuo."

Zhuo Jun hugged her and said, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Then Xiao Hanzheng introduced Xiao's mother and the other two, and Zhuo Jun greeted them one by one.

After a few casual words, Xiao Hanzheng said, "I'm going home first. Let's get together again when we have time."

Zhuo Jun looked at him and smiled gently, "Okay, let's get together with Zhijun and the others in a few days."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, then took Shi Qingluo to the front carriage, and Xiao's mother and the other two got on the back carriage.

Zhuo Jun then withdrew his gaze from Xiao Hanzheng and turned to get on his own carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Shi Qingluo asked, "Isn't this Master Zhuo from the capital?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "From North City."

Shi Qingluo knew that Beicheng was the capital city in the northern border.

She asked, "You have a good relationship with him?"

Xiao Hanzheng said: "We've met a few times before and we get along pretty well."

"What's wrong?"

Shi Qingluo did not hide it, "Although he smiled at me and seemed very polite, I always felt that he was always sizing me up, and even had hidden hostility and dislike."

She believed in her young husband, so she never concealed her thoughts and judgments.

Because she often drinks spiritual spring water, her perception is very sharp.

That's why she felt so confused.

This was her first meeting with Zhuo Jun, so why did he dislike her and feel hostility towards her? He seemed to have bright eyes towards her young husband, and it didn't seem like they were enemies.

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned. He didn't feel this, but he believed his young wife.

He said, "I'll have someone investigate him privately."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well, it's better to be careful."

She added: "And I always feel like he treats you a little differently."

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "I can't really put it into words, but I just felt that when he looked at you, his eyes were very bright, as if he was seeing his beloved."

“Maybe I’m wrong.”

"By the way, is he gay?"

Because she has a crush on the young husband, she is hostile to her.

Xiao Hanzheng: "..."

"No way, he seems to be quite normal with me normally."

The main reason was that he just treated this person as an ordinary friend and didn't observe him too closely.

After thinking about it, he realized that the other party had not made any inappropriate actions towards him or said any strange words.

Another person will often make plans to go out for parties, but out of ten times he will only go once or twice.

He added, "And I heard from their classmates who came from the north city to take the exam that he has already been engaged at home."

Shi Qingluo shrugged, "I don't know, anyway, I believe in my sixth sense."

"Go check carefully to see if he is gay."

"If so, stay away from him."

Xiao Hanzheng held her hand and said, "No matter if he is gay or not, I will stay away from him in the future."

He believed in his young wife's sixth sense. Since Zhuo Jun disliked and was hostile to his young wife, it was natural that they could not get along with such a person.

Shi Qingluo took the initiative to lean against him and said, "Well, you decide."

She had no intention of interfering with her little boyfriend's relationship, but she just couldn't like Zhuo Jun and didn't know why.

The next step is to wait for the test results to be announced.

Because this is an imperial examination, there should be a gap between it and the autumn examination.

Therefore, the imperial court asked the examiners to work overtime to mark the test papers.

The time for announcing the results, which was originally scheduled to take more than 20 days, was shortened to 15 days.

The restaurant near the announcement of the results was booked more than half a month ago.

Liang Youxiao also booked a private room in advance, mainly for Xiao Hanzheng.

Today is the big day for the announcement of the results, and of course those friends who have a good relationship with Shi Qingluo and his wife have to come out and wait for the results together.

If Xiao Hanzheng passed the exam, they would celebrate together.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo went to the private room booked by Liang Youxiao early in the morning.

Not only Liang Youxiao, Xi Rui, Xi Rong and Fei Yuzhe were there, but also Qi Yiyang was there.

With Mr. Qi's permission, he and Xi Rui and others would occasionally eat and drink together recently.

This also surprised many young people in Beijing, after all, they all disliked each other before.

After sitting down, several people started chatting.

After a while, someone shouted, "The results are out! The results are out!"

Liang Youxiao and others had already asked their followers to go down and grab a seat to see the list.

Xi Rui smiled and asked, "Old Xiao, are you sure?"

Because they often heard Shi Qingluo call Xiao Hanzheng like this outside, they also followed suit and called him Lao Xiao, which made them seem closer.

They are not literati, so they don't like to call her Jin Yu.

Xiao Hanzheng said with a calm smile: "It should be no problem to pass the exam, it just depends on the ranking."

Xi Rui smiled and said, "Old Xiao, I bet on you to get into the top three."

"I pressed it, too." Xi Rong said with a smile, "But I just followed Luo Luo in pressing it."

When these words came out, everyone else was surprised.

Xi Rui asked curiously: "Qingluo, how much did you bet? Which place did you bet on among your husbands?"
