When Rong Yubai brought Chan Bei back to the mansion, it was almost time for dinner.
After the parade, the top scholar Gongxu led the other Jinshi candidates to the Ministry of Rites to attend a banquet specially held to celebrate the success of the Jinshi candidates.
After the banquet, we went to the Temple of Sages and Sages to pay homage to the Great Sage Teacher.
After the worship, he went to the Imperial College to erect a stele and engraved the names of the new Jinshi on the stone tablet.
After completing the whole process, it was already sunset.
"The young master has returned home." shouted the doorman.
The maids and servants came to greet them with joy on their faces.
Today everyone received ten taels of silver and was rewarded with a sumptuous banquet. Who wouldn't be happy?
After Qin Nanjing saw off the relatives who came to congratulate her for a distance, she hurried back and happened to meet Rong Yubai entering the house.
When he saw Chanbei, he obviously took half a step back.
"Mom, this is Master Chan." Rong Yubai introduced him to Qin Nanjing with a smile.
"So it's Mr. Chan, the third place winner." Qin Nanjing smiled awkwardly. "I saw him from afar during the parade today. He's indeed the third place winner."
Since ancient times, the appearance of the Tanhua scholar has always been of the best quality.
His appearance is not inferior to Rong Yubai.
Rong Yubai is only fourteen years old and has not fully grown yet, so he looks a little immature.
Chanbei has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and looks like a gentleman.
And he is half a head taller than Rong Yubai.
"Come in quickly."
After the two entered the house, Qin Nanjing looked up at her house and said: You have to hold on.
He then ordered the guards to stand guard outside with shields, ready to rush in to rescue people at any time.
Rong Baichuan drank with his colleagues and came back drunk.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a strange handsome man.
And Qin Nanjing was actually picking up food for him!
Rong Baichuan narrowed his eyes, rushed over and put it in his mouth.
I took the seat next to Chanbei.
"Brother, who are you? Why are you in my house?" he asked incoherently.
"General Rong, I don't deserve to be called brother." Chan Bei wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by Rong Baichuan.
"Who dares to come into my house and eat my food? He is my brother."
Rong Baichuan's face darkened as he spoke, "But you can't attack anyone in my family, or I won't be able to retract my 40-meter sword."
"General Rong, I don't mean to show my courage, but calling you brother really doesn't work..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a "crack" and the sound of something breaking sounded above his head.
"Someone come quickly!" Qin Nanjing stretched out his hand and shouted.
"Boom—"
Before the guards could deploy their shields after rushing in, the entire roof collapsed with a loud bang.
"What happened? Another earthquake?" People on the street were frightened by the loud noise.
Turning around, he saw a cloud of dust rising from the General's residence.
"Cough cough cough cough..." The ruins were pushed away from below.
Rong Baichuan and Qin Nan became quiet.
"Abai, Abai, where are you?" He coughed and looked for his son.
"Here, I'm here..." A hand stretched out from the rubble.
Chan Bei saw this and wanted to help, but Qin Nanjing yelled, "Don't move!"
The voices were split.
"We'll do it ourselves. Master Chan, please don't move."
She still remembers the tragic plight of the Zhou family, the imperial merchant family, last time.
Rong Yubai was rescued from the rubble with great difficulty.
It was nothing serious, just a tile that hit his right hand.
"Fortunately, my hand was injured after the exam..." Qin Nanjing, with a look of fear on her face, helped Rong Yubai to the deserted yard, eight feet away from Chanbei.
"General Rong, Madam Rong, Brother Yubai, I'm really sorry." Chanbei bowed and apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Qin Nanjing smiled awkwardly, "Maybe the house has fallen into disrepair."
She has no temper with humble people.
Rong Baichuan looked confused. They had only lived here for less than two years?
"What's going on? It's impossible for the entire roof to collapse even after years of disrepair." Rong Baichuan sobered up and was confused.
"...Alas!" Chanbei sighed, "Did you just think of becoming friends with me?"
Qin Nanjing and Rong Yubai looked at each other, then nodded to him.
Although the two of them didn't say much throughout the day, Chanbei's speech and behavior were well-controlled and his literary talent was outstanding, so it was inevitable that they would develop a sense of mutual admiration.
But he restrained himself, otherwise he would not be able to complete the ceremony today.
The house collapsed, probably due to the combined effects of the three of their thoughts.
"The year I was born, a Taoist priest predicted that I would be doomed to be alone. I would be unlucky and unfaithful to my relatives and friends, and my ties to family would be weak..."
"Anyone around me who even has the slightest thought of doing me good will bring bad luck upon themselves."
"When I was young, I secretly studied at the academy in town. The teacher saw that I was quite knowledgeable and waived my tuition. After I had been in school for five days, the teacher fell ill and was ill on and off until I left the academy, when he finally recovered."
"A wealthy businessman in town heard that I was a child prodigy and wanted to adopt me as his godson. But a few days later, his business went bankrupt and he was left with a mountain of debts."
"When I took the provincial examination for the first time, a kind uncle gave me a ride into the city. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily, and both the uncle and the car rolled down the hill. He also broke his leg. By the time I took him to the clinic, he had broken many bones all over his body."
"When I took the provincial examination for the second time, the prefect invited me to live in his house and wanted me to be his son-in-law. But just as we had matched our horoscopes, the prefect's house was raided."
"I passed the imperial examination with great difficulty, and everyone who came to celebrate with me got food poisoning."
"As I grow older, my ability to attract disaster becomes stronger. Anyone who gets close to me will suffer misfortune."
Rong Baichuan looked at him in horror, so shocked that he was speechless.
No one has such strength!
