Chapter 13 Frosting
A few days later, Nangong Shuang and Duke Jing divorced.
This incident became a top priority in the capital, and people had mixed reactions to it.
However, Nangong Shuang and her three children started a new journey of life in the Earl of Gongning's Mansion.
…
On the day of the palace examination, Nangong Hua was inexplicably nervous.
Although he was not the one taking the exam, he was extremely worried for some reason.
He recalled his previous expectations for this child, which were simply to not burden the family and be a good person...
Now, he was lucky enough to not only pass the preliminary examination, but he also took the provincial examination and the palace examination step by step.
Ever since the child had that big dream, he seems to be much more stable than before.
The Ninth Prince naturally did not miss the opportunity to assassinate.
However, this kid not only avoided them all himself, but also saved him twice.
He felt distressed when he saw his cunning appearance.
All the past events eventually turned into the evening breeze.
He didn't know what happened to the child after he died.
"I am so despicable that I even hope my child can be as lawless as before. At least he is happy." Nangong Hua fiddled with the pen in his hand.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that he was absent-minded and knew that he was worried about Nangong Jiayu.
"Since my husband is worried, why don't you go and see him off in person?"
"How can that be possible? At a time like this, I'm afraid of adding to his psychological burden."
Pu Qiongzhi felt helpless when she heard him say this. "You are always like this, full of thoughts, but in the end, you remain silent."
"Fortunately, Madam, you understand my elegant meaning. I know you understand me." Nangong Hua looked into her eyes.
Pu Qiongzhi smiled knowingly, "Yes. If not, wouldn't you and I have missed each other?"
"Speaking of which, I recently heard about a business that is very good." Nangong Hua once again used the memories of his previous life.
Pu Qiongzhi put the things away and sat beside him, "I'd like to hear more about it."
"There is something very good in Rongcheng..." Nangong Hua began to tell her.
When Pu Qiongzhi heard the place name, she quickly thought, "Sugar?"
"Exactly!" Nangong Hua nodded. "Sugarcane cultivation in Rongcheng is very mature."
“A while ago, they made a frosting.”
Pu Qiongzhi understood as soon as she heard it.
Often, the emergence of a new thing brings with it huge wealth.
She has been immersed in business for many years and naturally understands the logic behind it.
In particular, foods like sugar can be said to have huge profits!
In the past, only the nobles could eat it, but now ordinary people can enjoy it too.
But if she controls this so-called icing, she can definitely make a lot of money.
After some discussion with Nangong Hua, Pu Qiongzhi felt that this business could succeed.
She naturally knew that this kind of business had to be done early, so she simply prepared to set off for Rongcheng immediately to take a look.
"Madam, you might as well wait a day. The palace examination isn't over yet!"
"Madam, you are so wealthy, yet you are still so diligent. This money should be earned by you!" Nangong Hua rarely joked.
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head. "Who would complain about having too much money? I'm just greedy."
"He's back! Madam! The young master is back on horseback!"
Everyone in the Earl's Mansion was overjoyed and ran around telling each other the news.
"What???" Pu Qiongzhi lost her composure and asked again, "What do you mean?"
"Madam! The young master has passed the imperial examination and is now on parade, heading towards our Earl's Mansion!!!"
Pu Qiongzhi turned around and looked at Nangong Hua, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
For the first time, the two of them did not put on airs and hurried to the door of the house.
Sure enough, Nangong Jiayu came riding a horse towards the Earl's Mansion with a red flower on her official hat.
"Aunt! I'm in high school!" He waved over here.
Pu Qiongzhi took a deep breath and pinched her arm.
She originally laughed at the method of pinching the arm as ridiculous.
Today, she still does so.
It seems that only in this way can we truly be sure that all this is not a dream!
Pu Qiongzhi originally thought that she was exaggerated enough, but she didn't expect Nangong Hua to be even more exaggerated than her -
"Quick! Quick! Set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
"The Earl's Mansion is giving out money for three days! A buffet is also being prepared!"
"No, I have to go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors! I also have to donate incense oil to the temple!"
"Madam, is it true? Did Yu Ge'er really become the top scorer in the imperial examination?" Nangong Hua confirmed with Pu Qiongzhi again.
Pu Qiongzhi also said in a somewhat unreal way, "Husband, I'm confused right now too. I never thought that Yu Ge'er, at such a young age, could actually become the top scholar!"
"Not only that, madam, look, that Xu Zhengqing seems to have won the third place in the imperial examination! Your academy is really making a name for itself!"
...In the palace examination, Wutong Academy became the center of attention!
As the youngest number one scholar since ancient times, Nangong Jiayu has become famous all over the world!
Your Majesty will naturally give some reward to such a special young genius.
But this child is very special, and his family background is also known to outsiders.
He actually asked Your Majesty to grant his aunt an imperial decree!
This time the emperor did not hesitate and agreed directly.
Pu Qiongzhi was successfully promoted to the third rank lady.
…
Nangong Jiayu was in high spirits and rode his horse at a gallop. After seeing all the prosperity, he returned to the Earl's Mansion.
He had awakened the memories of his past life, and through this he climbed the ladder to the blue sky, overcoming all obstacles and entering the palace examination.
During the palace examination, he almost completely grasped the emperor's intentions based on his understanding of the emperor in his previous life.
He had already answered the previous questions fluently.
Until the last question.
The emperor met with them one by one and asked them their opinions on the foundation of the country.
Nangong Jiayu guessed that Xu Zhengqing only considered being a loyal minister and was so well-behaved.
But Nangong Jiayu clearly remembered the foolish behavior of the old emperor in the last two years of his previous life.
He considers himself no good either.
After experiencing such bitterness and hatred in the previous life, how could he still be loyal to the king?
Therefore, he chose to flatter and deceive his master with sweet words.
He didn't even care about the national foundation, and only said that he would seek a way to achieve immortality for the emperor.
Answering this way is actually a risky move, as it is a gamble on the Holy Heart.
If the old emperor still had any awareness of being a ruler, he would not have given him such honor.
However, everyone has seen the result...
"Brother Yu has made great progress. Now he can even ask for an imperial decree for his aunt."
Nangong Hua was in a trance between two lives. Looking at the child in front of him, he had hallucinations of his nephew from his previous life.
He couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He walked forward a few steps, squatted down, patted his shoulder and gave him a hug.
"It must have been hard for you to grow up so alone. I'm sorry for making you endure so much..."
Nangong Jiayu couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.
"Uncle, I thought I had no chance, but now I can finally say, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it... Those people deceived me..."
"Good boy, uncle, I don't blame you..."
When Nangong Hua said this, he felt relieved both physically and mentally.
