Chapter 191 He is obviously the first in the case!
How is that possible?
Before his rebirth, he was clearly the top suspect in the case!
How come he became Zhou Lang now?
In his previous life, his title of top scholar was somewhat untrue, as he had deceived others into believing it, but he won the first place in the examination for scholar through his own hard work.
Now……
Many things are different from before my rebirth.
The Sheshanzhai Dai Chuanzhi, whom he had contacted in advance, died, and the silver mine was lost, which became the wedding dress of Cui County Magistrate, who should have died earlier, disrupting his rhythm. Unexpectedly, the first place in the case was taken away again.
He was extremely uneasy.
This may not only take his first place in the case, but also something more important...
After he was reborn, he thought he was a child of destiny, able to calculate everything in the world, and had no rivals in the world.
Unexpectedly, I encountered setbacks one after another.
…
Wang was about to snatch the good news from the official's hand, "Impossible, I don't believe it, how is it possible!"
The officer shook the sword at his waist.
"Hey! What are you doing, woman? Back off quickly, or I'll be rude to you."
At this time, Mrs. Zhou reacted.
Ecstasy!
She stepped forward and pushed Wang away, "Sir, so that's how it is. Zhou Lang is my fourth son, my son. You came to deliver the good news last time. You still remember me, right? He was the top scholar in my son's exam!"
Mrs. Zhou was very considerate and without hesitation, she stuffed another piece of silver into each of the two officials' pockets.
"Of course I remember, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou. This is good news, please keep it."
"Keep it."
The two officials accepted the wedding money generously.
This is an unwritten rule and is a normal way to seek good luck.
It depends on how generous the host is.
It's rare to find someone as generous as Mrs. Zhou, so when they heard that Zhou Langzhong had won again, the two of them rushed to deliver the good news.
Sure enough, this amount of silver was heavier than the last time.
Mrs. Zhou held the good news in her hand, faced Wang, and laughed out loud without reservation.
It feels so good!
"Wang, do you think that your eldest son is the only one in the world who can pass the imperial examination? Haha, how satisfying! My fourth son really makes me proud!"
"Old man, our Si'er secretly passed the exam for our family and got a degree as a scholar! Hahahaha, have you never thought about it even in your dreams? He got the first place in the list of scholars. Some people are so proud of bragging in the house, but they are not as good as our Si'er, hahahaha..."
…
The other members of the Zhou family reacted and were also very happy.
The villagers also began to congratulate Mrs. Zhou.
If we were to say who was the calmest in the whole audience, it would be Zhou Lang and his wife.
Even Zhou Qinan couldn't keep calm, his face was shocked and ugly, he couldn't suppress it.
Lin Shiqi was so happy that he even wanted to grab a handful of melon seeds to eat.
It’s so delicious.
I feel so happy.
With Zhou Lang's knowledge and intelligence, it shouldn't be easy to pass the exam to become a scholar. How can this be possible?
Hi, not worth mentioning.
Zhou Lang didn't move at all.
However, in public, with everyone's eyes on him, he could only pretend to be very happy and surprised.
He stood up and expressed polite words of thanks to the official.
"...I was originally just recommended by a noble person, and I only planned to try the process of the scholar examination this year. I never thought that I would pass. I am ashamed! I still have many shortcomings, so I can only work harder and study more diligently..."
At this moment, Old Man Zhou seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He walked forward excitedly, took the good news, and read it again and again.
"Old Four, okay, okay... okay!"
After all, Zhou Qinan was no ordinary person. The strange look on his face had disappeared. Now that things had come to this, he walked over with the demeanor of a great general.
He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Fourth Uncle. It seems that Qinan's talent for studying is far inferior to Fourth Uncle's. Qinan is ashamed."
Zhou Lang also smiled and replied, "I'm just lucky. The two adults just said that you also passed the exam and ranked in the top ten of the scholar class. I congratulate you. You are much younger than me, and your future is just around the corner!"
Zhou Qinan's eyelids twitched slightly.
It doesn’t matter if he is not the top suspect in the case.
He had grasped many opportunities and was able to act without relying on the case leader.
For example, this time, after he finished the exam, he went to guard the point and saved a female noble, the daughter of the governor of the city.
This woman is about the same age as him and will be one of his greatest supporters in his future life.
She was also the woman who admired him very much in his previous life.
She would disguise herself as a man to study at Ohara Academy for him, and help him to rise to prominence.
From his summary of the failed Dai Chuanzhi incident, he believed that it was because he had contacted the authorities in advance and disrupted the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao, so he did not end up well.
Afterwards, he became much more cautious.
When the time comes, take action.
Go with the flow.
The Zhou family is even more hateful now than in the past, especially the fourth branch of the Zhou family, who was originally a fool who died early...
He actually rode on his head.
The gloom in his eyes flashed away.
I wanted to be magnanimous, but I'm really angry...
"Fourth uncle is very talented and has a bright future."
"Thank you very much."
The two of them complimented each other and seemed to be in harmony.
Only Wang was screaming, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! My Lords, I want to expose him. He used to be a fool. He didn't study for a year. He was a lazy student. How could he pass the exam to become a scholar? Did he cheat? My son studied hard for many years, but he only ranked in the top ten. How could he be the first in the exam? There must be something fishy..."
The two officials were very unhappy with Wang's words. "How can we allow a woman like you to smear the imperial examination of our great Yu Kingdom? If you continue to talk nonsense, be careful that we will arrest you and put you in jail..."
Zhou Qinan hurriedly pulled Wang aside and said, "My mother is a country woman. She was so angry that she lost her mind. I hope you two adults will be magnanimous and not make a fuss about it. Thank you very much."
The two officials snorted coldly and let Wang go for Zhou Qinan's sake.
But it seems redundant for Wang and the others to stay here now.
Zhou Qinan felt as if he was covered in thorns, and the resentment and coldness in his heart could hardly be suppressed.
At this moment, he felt regretful about leaving the Zhou family with Wang.
He should have stayed...
In his previous life, the family was divided and he got some things because he was in the right in his previous life.
Now Wang had messed up everything and was the one at fault, and Mrs. Zhou was determined to divorce Wang because her son Zhou Lang was so stubborn...
Let them leave the house with nothing.
But he couldn't just abandon Wang, because Wang's life would be useful in the future...
However, many things gradually got out of his control.
It made him very upset.
"Mom, let's go."
"Let's go!"
Staying where he was would only bring humiliation upon himself and he would be ridiculed by Mrs. Zhou.
Although someone will come to send him good news, there has already been good news for the top candidate. In comparison, his first ten good news are not worth mentioning, and will make people feel more alienated.
They left.
Old man Zhou was in mixed mood.
Mrs. Zhou warmly invited the two officials to her home for tea and dinner before leaving. Last time when they came to deliver the good news, they did not stay. This time, she insisted that the two officials finish their meal before leaving.
