February 17th.
There was a crowd of people outside the Imperial Examination Hall, shoulder to shoulder, and Rong Chaoxi and a few others were standing under a big tree in front of the gate.
Rong Chaoxi was wearing a bright red cape and a hood and jumping around on the tree stand.
"Has Second Brother come out?"
"What if he can't find me..." The little guy was angry and anxious, and only hated his short legs.
Even if you jump up, you can only see everyone's backs.
She wore red clothes today so that her second brother could see her at a glance when he came out.
What should I do?
The next second after Rong Chaoxi became furious, he was picked up by someone.
"Hold your brother-in-law's head and be careful not to fall." Jiang Lingyu suddenly appeared and carried the little guy on his shoulders.
"Wow, so tall, as tall as daddy..." Rong Chaoxi held Jiang Lingyu's face excitedly.
Jiang Lingyu is very tall, about the same height as Rong Baichuan.
The Ministry of War had something to do today, so only Rong Chaoxi and Rong Xuqing came to pick up Rong Yubai and take him home.
The little guy was so happy when he sat on Jiang Lingyu's shoulders.
"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Rong Xuqing asked.
"Today, my colleagues are having a party at a nearby restaurant. I saw you, so I came over." Jiang Lingyu looked at Rong Xuqing with a smile, with only her in his eyes.
Rong Xuqing's ears turned red from his fiery gaze, and she immediately turned her face away.
Ever since they held their engagement party, Jiang Lingyu seemed like a different person, always staring at her without any scruples.
Their behavior became more and more bold.
At this moment, he secretly took her hand again.
"Big sister, big sister, can you see it?" Rong Chaoxi looked at Rong Xuqing.
Rong Xuqing glanced at the crowded entrance and shook his head in disappointment.
Rong Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and he patted Jiang Lingyu on the shoulder and extended a sincere invitation.
"Big sister, come up, brother-in-law still has a shoulder to shoulder."
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Lingyu and Rong Xuqing's cheeks flushed red.
When their eyes met each other, they suddenly looked away as if they were electrocuted, and their hands loosened.
Rong Xuqing's ears, already red, turned even redder, almost dripping with blood...
"Brother-in-law, can't you carry my elder sister?" Rong Chaoxi asked seriously.
Without waiting for Jiang Lingyu to answer, the little guy sighed and said, "That won't do."
"Daddy can carry Mom."
"Daddy said that anyone who can't carry his wife is not worthy of being a human being."
"If you can't carry big sister, you can't be a member of our Rong family."
"Go back tonight and start exercising. Chaoxi has only found you as a brother-in-law. If you can't carry your elder sister, it will be very troublesome to find another brother-in-law..."
"Yes... I can carry it." Jiang Lingyu immediately interrupted Rong Chaoxi's idea of changing her brother-in-law and shouted.
The people around who had been listening to them talk for a while quickly looked over, looking as if they had been hit.
At this moment, Rong Xuqing wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Big sister, why is your face red?" The innocent little kid said so much that Rong Xuqing started to scratch her face as she entered the yard.
"It's a bit hot... There are so many people here, I feel a bit hot..." Rong Xuqing raised his hand to fan himself, not daring to look at Rong Chaoxi's big eyes full of doubt.
"Then come up. It's very cool up here. Chaoxi doesn't feel hot even with her little cloak on." Rong Chaoxi patted Jiang Lingyu's shoulder again and made a sincere invitation.
Both of them stopped talking and started looking for their head on the ground.
Rong Chaoxi looked down.
What's on the ground?
Then look at the people around you who are pursing their lips and trying not to laugh.
【Why are their faces so distorted? 】
【Why are all the adults today so weird? 】
Qin Nanjing, who was counting the accounts in the shop, touched her face and said: I feel like I did something big right today.
"He's coming out, he's coming out. The second young master is coming out." Xiaoshan jumped up and waved to attract Rong Yubai's attention.
There were three exams, a total of nine days, and I ate and slept in a small cell.
The young man was fine, just looking a little haggard.
The old man was tortured to the point of being pale.
When the people waiting at the door saw the old man coming out, they pulled him into the shed nearby and gave him ginseng soup to restore his blood.
Rong Yubai was still in high spirits, with a faint smile between his brows.
He immediately saw the red figure looking towards him.
When Gu Lin came out, the two of them squeezed out of the crowd together.
Rong Yubai is now about to turn fourteen years old and has grown into an elegant young man.
It attracted a lot of people's attention.
"That must be Rong Yubai, right?" someone whispered.
"I heard that he was stupid for three years, and when he woke up, he won the first place in the scholar exam and also won the title of Jieyuan. If he had not been poisoned that year..." No one dared to think about it.
"A nine-year-old champion, how impressive it must be..."
"It's not too late now. He's only fourteen."
"If I win the championship this time, I will still be the youngest champion in history."
Rong Yubai walked straight to his family and opened his arms: "Chao Xi, second brother will hold you..."
Rong Chaoxi flew into his second brother's arms.
"Second brother is so awesome, I see it every morning and evening..." The little guy held Rong Yubai's face and kissed him.
Gu Lin, who was standing next to him, couldn't be left behind either, so he gave him a kiss on the face as well, "My little cousin is awesome too."
My second brother passed the imperial examination with the highest score, my younger cousin also passed the imperial examination, Rong Shihan landed on his heels, and everyone is doing great.
Rong Yubai pursed his lips and smiled softly.
Gu Lin smiled and pinched Rong Chaoxi's cheek, "Thank you, little Chaoxi. Thanks to you, my cousin was able to pass the exam so easily."
After several months of instruction from Qin Taifu, Gu Lin suddenly became enlightened and was able to pass the exam with ease.
If there were no morning and evening, he was afraid that all the candidates would be ranked last.
…
When they returned to the general's mansion, food was already prepared.
At the dinner table, Rong Baichuan mentioned, "Gu Lin, after the palace examination, the official positions will be distributed. Why don't you bring your parents over so we can celebrate together."
"Brother, that's what I was thinking. I'll write a letter and send it to Bingdong City tomorrow."
My father always mentions his little nephew when he offers sacrifices to my aunt every year.
More than thirty years ago, my grandfather was persecuted by Marquis Annan and fell seriously ill.
Before his death, he ordered his father not to set foot in Kyoto City, so he never came there and never met his little nephew.
I only heard from people that he was a great and important person.
If he hadn't learned that Rong Baichuan had a conflict with Marquis Annan and moved out of the Marquis's mansion, Gu Lin would not have asked him to take the imperial examination this time.
After dinner, Rong Yubai went back and fell asleep.
It was late at night when Gu Lin returned home. He had just closed the door and taken a few steps when he heard someone knocking on the door loudly and rapidly.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, please open the door..." came the woman's frightened voice.
