Chapter 533: Qin Zhao is deeply shocked
"Congratulations, Brother Qin... Oh no, I should call you Master Qin. Congratulations, Master Qin, congratulations to the third place winner."
Along the way, people kept congratulating Qin Zhao.
This title of Tanhua is also a title that many people dream of but cannot obtain.
However, for Qin Zhao, it was a huge blow.
He was different from others since he was young. He could read at the age of three, write poems at the age of five, and speak fluently at the age of eight. He was called a child prodigy by others.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never encountered an opponent, nor had he encountered many setbacks. Others only praised him, never scolded him.
His parents praised him, his uncles praised him, his teacher praised him, and famous scholars praised him.
Everyone says he is a genius.
He easily won first place in the county and provincial examinations.
After the provincial examination, he lay dormant for many years before taking part in the metropolitan and palace examinations, because he was certain that he would become the number one!
He never thought that he would be the third place in the imperial examination.
Tanhua means third, with bangyan and zhuangyuan ahead of him.
He was actually suppressed by two boys who were five years younger than him!
He could not accept this fact at all and returned to the inn in a daze.
He couldn't understand how Xu Jue and Wei Ziang could possibly beat him.
What is the reason?
He didn't eat or drink, just sat there stupidly in the room of the inn.
Prince Rui's Palace.
"What? The top scorer is Wei Ziang?!" Zhao Shu was shocked.
How is that possible?
Qin Zhao's talent is obviously superior to Wei Ziang's!
How could it be possible that Wei Ziang was the top scorer?
Zhao Shu didn't believe it at all.
"Did you hear it right?" Zhao Shu asked again.
"Your Highness, I heard it right. It was indeed Wei Ziang." The servant said tremblingly.
Zhao Shu sat down on the chair, his face full of fatigue, his temples twitching with pain.
He had originally thought that Qin Zhao would win first place in the palace examination, overwhelming Xu Jue and Wei Ziang, but...
hehe.
waste!
Then Qin Zhao is just a useless person who can only brag!
Jinse was standing outside the door with a rather ugly look on her face.
Didn’t the gods tell her that Qin Zhao was the top scorer this year?
How did he become Wei Ziang?
Gods...are gods also unreliable?
The servant who reported left.
Jinse hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
Seeing Zhao Shu’s pale face and sickly look, Jinse’s heart suddenly tightened.
"Prince, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Jinse asked hurriedly.
Zhao Shu reached out and pushed Jinse away.
"roll!"
Jinse stumbled a few steps after being pushed, a little panicked: "Your Highness..."
The prince had been cold to her before, but never with such an attitude. She felt inexplicably panicked.
It was all her fault. She gave the prince the wrong information!
She even resented the gods. Why would the gods lie to her?!
Zhao Shu took two deep breaths: "Princess, I was just excited. It's my fault..."
After Zhao Shu's apology, Jinse's sinking heart lifted again.
"Your Majesty, it's my fault..."
…
The Marquis's Mansion was overjoyed and hosted a banquet for the guests who came to congratulate them.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue became famous overnight and became known throughout the world.
night.
The guests dispersed.
Tangli picked up his pen and wrote a letter.
She wrote this letter to Du Qingyu.
Not long after Wei Ziang and Xu Jue entered the Imperial College, Du Qingyu took Du Xiaobai away from the capital.
She felt that she had taught the two children everything she needed to teach, and there was nothing more she could teach them. In addition, she was impatient by nature, so one day after receiving a letter, she took Du Xiaobai away.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue have many teachers, but Du Qingyu is definitely the most important and special one.
Now that her two children are in high school, she naturally has to write to tell her.
After Tang Li finished writing the letter, he handed it to the servant and asked him to mail it.
Wei Qing saw that his wife had finished her work and was about to come over when there was a knock on the door...
Wei Qing walked over and opened the door.
"Lao Tang, you're looking for me..." the young man said nonchalantly. When he saw Wei Qing's resentful face, he was startled and immediately stood up straight.
This young man was Yan Xiaoduan.
He has been in this family for more than three years since he was picked up by Tangli and followed from Qinghe County to the capital.
The boy matured a lot from the age of fifteen to eighteen, but his nonchalant temperament did not change much.
He said he was a servant to Wei Ziang and Xu Jue, but in fact he lived a very carefree life, eating and drinking lavishly under the banner of Tangli. He grew strong and was a head taller than when he came to this family.
Tangli had originally bought Yan Xiaoduan because he was afraid Wei Ziang and Xu Jue would be bullied, and he had acted as a bodyguard, a role Yan Xiaoduan had fulfilled. Later, when Xu Jue and Wei Ziang grew up, the two young men were smart and wouldn't be bullied, so Tangli stopped caring about Yan Xiaoduan.
Yan Xiaoduan was like a young master in her house and lived a very carefree life.
Yan Xiaoduan is afraid of Wei Qing and only behaves so well in front of him.
Tang Li couldn't help laughing as he looked at the girl standing straight with her hands hanging down and her palms pressed against her thighs.
Tang Li took Wei Qing's hand, walked out of the room and came to the yard.
Yan Xiaoduan followed obediently.
"In a few days, Zi'ang and Xu Jue will start working at the Hanlin Academy, so they won't need book boys anymore," said Tang Li.
Yan Xiaoduan was shocked: "Lao Tang, you don't want me anymore?"
Yan Xiaoduan was a little panicked. If Lao Tang didn't want him, what would he do?!
But think about it, he is really useless, just a freeloader, so it's normal that Lao Tang doesn't want him.
Although they were not related in any way, Lao Tang was already very nice to him.
He still felt a little sad and his head drooped.
"You can be their servant, but being a servant won't be as comfortable as being a book boy," said Tang Li.
Yan Xiaoduan's eyes lit up.
Does this mean you don't want him?!
Yan Xiaoduan immediately said: "It doesn't matter! I am willing! I can do it!"
Tang Li looked at Yan Xiaoduan and asked, "Do you want to be a servant forever?"
Tang Li is not a saint. She doesn't care about everyone and doesn't want to lecture everyone. She only cares about the people she cares about. This young man also tried his best to protect Ziang and Xu Jue, and she remembers it all.
What future can Yan Xiaoduan achieve as a servant all his life?
She wanted to give him a choice.
"I'm really not suitable to be a servant..." Yan Xiaoduan scratched his hair, "Then what can I do?"
"Don't worry, think about it carefully and tell me when you've made up your mind." Tang Li said.
Looking at Tang Li's gentle expression, Yan Xiaoduan couldn't help but ask, "Old Tang, do you think I'm a waste?"
"Why do you say that?" Tang Li was surprised.
"I'm a waste, that's why my parents don't want me." Yan Xiaoduan said.
He ran away from home out of anger, but after so many years, his parents haven't come to look for him. Are they happy to get rid of this burden like him?
After more than three years, Yan Xiaoduan vaguely felt that he might have been abandoned.
Thinking of this possibility, Yan Xiaoduan felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"How do you know your parents don't want you? Maybe they are looking for you too." Tang Li said.
Apart from weird parents, who wouldn't want their own children?
Yan Xiaoduan is so heartless, Tang Li thinks his parents must dote on him a lot.
Unless something happened to his parents...
Yan Xiaoduan's eyes lit up.
Yes, the world is so big, maybe they are also looking for me, but just haven’t found me yet.
It's been more than three years now, and his anger has subsided. He misses his mother so much, and he also misses his father a little bit...
Of course, only a little.
