How could he do this to her? He said he would love her forever.
Since he loved her and spoiled her, what was wrong with her subsidizing her younger brothers and sisters? If she made a mistake, shouldn't he tolerate her?
She was blind to fall in love with him.
He actually treated her like this, he was too much.
It must have been that bitch Tao Liu who instigated it. She was determined to skin that bitch alive.
So she got up from the ground and wanted to rush to Taoliu's yard.
However, he was stopped by Xiao Yuanshi's men.
No matter how she made a fuss, she wouldn't be let out.
What happened during the day had spread throughout the capital, and the servants in the general's mansion naturally heard about it as well.
Many maids and servants secretly cursed Madam Ge Chunru for being shameless.
It was already despicable that he relied on his concubine to get to the top, and now he is actually having an affair.
Ge Chunru also became a laughing stock in the entire general's mansion, and even the servants despised him.
She also became the person she hated the most.
At first, she would make a big fuss in the backyard of the general's mansion every day, but after receiving a letter from Ge Chunyi, she suddenly stopped.
Take your medicine well and eat well.
She asked the maid to invite Xiao Yuanshi over so that she could have a good talk with him, but Xiao Yuanshi was determined to make her change her temper this time, so he didn't come.
And this time Ge Chunru didn't smash anything again.
Instead, he started copying scriptures every day, looking as if he had repented.
Xiao Yuanshi heard reports from his servants every day, and when he saw that Ge Chunru knew he was wrong and copied scriptures to repent, he was not so angry anymore.
However, I still didn't go to see Ge Chunru. As soon as I saw her, I couldn't help but think of the fact that she went with her male relative outside the family.
After returning from Zhuangzi, he became a houseless person.
You don't need to check to know that who knows what kind of rumors will spread outside, and who knows how many people in the court will laugh at him for being cuckolded.
So he told people not to investigate, not to report, and not to go out, so that they could pretend they didn't hear it.
Thinking of Kong's previous contempt, he began to calm down and practice calligraphy.
The more I practiced calligraphy, the more I couldn't help but think of Kong's lively appearance now.
He even thought, if the mistress of the general's mansion was Kong, would he not lose so much face? People outside did laugh at Xiao Yuanshi.
At the same time, he was speechless towards Xiao Yuanshi.
His wife has cheated on him, but he hasn't divorced her yet.
If this happened in many places, Ge Chunru would be thrown into a pig cage if she did this.
Since Xiao Yuanshi did not pursue the matter, the matter naturally came to nothing.
It also made the Zheng family feel relieved.
Zheng Tongfeng's reputation has been completely ruined this time after he stole the general's wife.
There is no way a girl from a good family would marry him again.
So he took the opportunity to propose to marry his true love.
Zheng's father felt ashamed and was afraid that his son would do something even more embarrassing, so he agreed after being persuaded by his other two sons.
He gave the brothel girl an identity as a member of a small family and then married her to Zheng Tongfeng.
And they are planning to divide the family business in the future, so the property originally intended for Zheng Tongfeng will also be reduced.
Naturally, Xiao Hanzheng would not let go of Zheng Tongfeng who wanted to harm his sister.
So the news that Zheng Tongfeng's new wife was actually a prostitute kept outside and redeemed spread quickly throughout the capital.
The Zheng family was once again extremely embarrassed.
There was no other choice, Master Zheng had to have his servants send the brothel girl, Zheng Tongfeng, back to her hometown.
On the way back home, the group was attacked by bandits.
Zheng Tongfeng was beaten almost to the point of paralysis by this group of people. Although he was able to walk after being rescued, he was almost as weak as a eunuch.
This was of course Xiao Hanzheng's doing, but he didn't leave any evidence.
Soon, the day of the palace examination arrived.
That day, Xiao Hanzheng dressed neatly and went to the palace to take part in the palace examination.
The palace examination only tests policy questions and lasts for one day, with the papers due at dusk.
During this period, the emperor will come to see it in person.
The results would naturally not be announced on the same day. They would have to wait for the examiners to review them and then present them to the emperor.
After the emperor has decided on the next class, a ceremony will be held to announce the results of the palace examination.
Xiao Hanzheng received the policy paper and after seeing the questions, he found that it was exactly as he had expected.
The topics of the policy questions are people's livelihood and a strong country.
The general idea is how to make the people live a stable and good life, and whether there are any strategies to make the country more prosperous.
This kind of question is both simple and difficult.
To put it simply, the scope of the topics is wide and there is a lot of room for creativity.
The difficulty lies in coming up with new ideas or giving effective suggestions.
In particular, you should not write anything that may touch the interests of some aristocratic families, otherwise it will easily step on the sore spots of the aristocratic families.
Even if you pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, you will still be punished.
Xiao Hanzheng was naturally not stupid enough to write about the interests of the aristocratic families, so he focused on writing about how to develop people's livelihood.
He had only lived one life, and in his previous life he had been a first-rank official, so he had a broad vision.
In addition, I would chat with Shi Qingluo about the country and people's livelihood from time to time, and I also got a lot of advice from her, or a lot of enlightenment and inspiration from her words.
Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng mainly talked about "a prosperous people, a strong country, and peace and prosperity for all", and made relatively few suggestions on national policies.
Almost all the potential risks have been avoided.
After all, he hasn't entered the officialdom yet, so there's no need to bring up these things so early.
If you encounter a conservative examiner, your score will most likely be ranked behind the top ten.
The emperor usually only looked at the top ten papers to determine the top one.
He wrote smoothly, and after checking it once to make sure there were no problems, Xiao Hanzheng copied it on the test paper.
Feeling a bright yellow figure standing next to him, he did not panic or get nervous, but continued to copy steadily.
After a while, the people around me left.
Wherever the emperor passed, everyone became very nervous. There were even a few candidates who made mistakes in writing or accidentally stained their test papers with drops of ink.
After the emperor left, they all wanted to cry.
The emperor stayed for about an hour and then left.
As soon as he left, all the candidates in the hall felt relieved.
Some people also felt regretful and wondered why the emperor didn't come to take a look at them.
At dusk, the gongs and drums sounded, indicating that it was time to hand in the papers.
After handing in the paper, Xiao Hanzheng left the hall with a calm and indifferent expression.
Many people were observing Xiao Hanzheng. After all, he was the top scorer and had a good chance of competing for the top spot.
Seeing his calm and composed look, except for those who were jealous, envious and hateful, everyone could not help but sigh that Xiao Hanzheng was worthy of being the champion.
Few people present here can match his steadiness and composure.
After the palace examination, one has to wait for the ceremony of announcing the results of the examination.
After Xiao Hanzheng finished the exam, Shi Qingluo accompanied Xiao Baili to the general's mansion.
Xiao Yuanshi has not gone out recently. Every day he either practices calligraphy in the study or goes to Liu Ru's yard to accompany her. He deliberately ignores his wife Ge Chunru.
I really don’t know how to face it.
That day, he was in the study when he heard the butler come to report that Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili wanted to see him. He couldn't help but feel a headache suddenly.
But he still asked the butler to bring the person over.
