Chapter 211 Wedding Night!
Before going to bed, Qin Zhizhi looked at the gold list marked with red ink and felt that the whole day was like a dream.
When Gu Jinghuai came back from washing up, he saw his wife in a daze. Under the candlelight, her gentle eyes looked even happier.
He walked over and gently embraced Qin Zhizhi in his arms.
Qin Zhizhi could feel his chest rising and falling violently through the fabric of his clothes and whispered, "Husband!"
"My wife, I finally did what I promised you!" He whispered in a low voice in Qin Zhizhi's ear.
Qin Zhizhi gently raised her hand and stroked his back, patting him lightly twice, comforting him just like she did with Gu Yunlang before.
Feeling his trembling shoulders, Qin Zhizhi hugged him back.
"My husband is great. I always believed that he would pass the high school entrance exam. I am very happy today."
Gu Jing held Qin Zhizhi in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness. He reached out and stroked her cheek. "Without my wife, I wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you for your hard work."
"My husband, I never feel tired. I am very happy to be with you all. I like this kind of life."
Gu Jinghuai gently rested his chin on Qin Zhizhi's shoulder, and the two of them were reflected in the mirror, sweet and affectionate.
"My wife is happy if she is happy for her husband."
Gu Jinghuai lowered his head and kissed Qin Zhizhi's lips.
He had a few drinks at the banquet today. At this moment, Qin Zhizhi only felt the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of ink on Gu Jinghuai's body, enveloping her whole body.
Gu Jinghuai shouted "My wife..." and suddenly picked up Qin Zhizhi by the waist. Qin Zhizhi screamed in surprise when she was suddenly picked up and subconsciously hugged his neck.
Gu Jinghuai actually couldn't hold his liquor well, and was a little tipsy at the moment.
He was happy today, his brain was clamoring wildly, and the only thing in his mind was his wife Qin Zhizhi.
"Husband, there is a palace examination tomorrow..." Qin Zhizhi said softly.
"My lady, here's a reward." Gu Jinghuai said without giving Qin Zhizhi a chance to react and kissed her even more fiercely.
Qin Zhizhi thought over and over again, and finally remembered what the reward was that Gu Jinghuai mentioned.
She once jokingly promised Gu Jinghuai that if he could still get first place in the exam, she would give him a reward...
That happened before she came to Beijing. She originally thought that the man had forgotten about it long ago.
I didn't expect that he still remembered it and was going to fulfill his promise tonight.
Qin Zhizhi is not a shy person, and she basically indulges Gu Jinghuai in the little romantic interests between husband and wife.
"Husband, are you sure you are ready?"
Qin Zhizhi looked at Gu Jinghuai with seductive eyes. The candlelight shone on her face. Gu Jinghuai felt that his wife was incredibly beautiful.
At this moment, his brain was not very clear, and he was bewitched by the beauty of his wife, and nodded gently.
Qin Zhizhi was amused by her husband's cute appearance and whispered, "Carry me to the bed."
Gu Jinghuai was dazzled by his wife's smile, and all he could do now was to obey.
Qin Zhizhi turned over and pressed Gu Jinghuai under her, then bent down and kissed his eyebrows.
Gu Jinghuai blinked foolishly. Qin Zhizhi covered his eyes with her hands and said in a gentle and seductive voice, "Husband, close your eyes."
Gu Jinghuai closed his eyes obediently. Qin Zhizhi looked at Gu Jinghuai's obedient appearance and gently kissed his lips.
Her kiss was very light, like the brush of a feather. Gu Jinghuai was shocked and whispered softly, "Zhizhi!"
Qin Zhizhi's kiss went from her lips to her Adam's apple, all the way down, causing Gu Jinghuai to tremble slightly wherever it went.
But these are just appetizers, and next is Qin Zhizhi's home court.
The moonlight poured in through the window lattice, mixed with the charming atmosphere in the house, lingering for a long time.
A night of madness and extreme pleasure.
The next day, Gu Jinghuai woke up on time. Looking at Qin Zhizhi who was sleeping soundly, the embarrassing scenes of last night slowly emerged in his mind.
Gu Jinghuai's ears suddenly turned red. He didn't know how many surprises his wife had in store.
Suddenly, a thought echoed in his mind: when his name was on the list of successful candidates, and on his wedding night.
It seems his wife is preparing for his wedding night. He is the one who passed the imperial examination and he is also the one who celebrated his wedding night.
Gu Jinghuai slapped his face with his hands, trying to wake himself up. What kind of mess was he thinking about so early in the morning?
Gu Jinghuai was about to get out of bed quietly, afraid of disturbing Qin Zhizhi's sweet dream, but as soon as he moved, Qin Zhizhi snuggled into his arms again.
Gu Jinghuai didn't dare to move at all. He was sober from yesterday's drunkenness. Early in the morning, his wife threw herself into his arms.
Even a gentleman would find it difficult to remain calm in the face of temptation, let alone he has never been a gentleman in front of his wife.
Calculating the time, Gu Jinghuai felt that he could still hold his wife and sleep for a while longer. Her warmth, fragrance, and softness would make anyone fall into a daze.
When Gu Jinghuai left, Qin Zhizhi was still asleep. He was so reluctant that he kissed her forehead before leaving.
He told the maids serving in the yard not to disturb Qin Zhizhi's rest before he went out with his uncle Gu Ting.
Of course they did not forget to bring Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun.
Everyone in the Qin family came to see Qin Qingyuan and his brother off today.
Gu Ting promised to take care of several people in the palace. Under the concerned gaze of the Qin family, the carriage drove towards the palace.
"Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, the Emperor's canonization will come down today. Let's just wait at home. Jing Huai will definitely be the top scholar, and Qing Yuan will be either the third or the second."
"As for Qingyun, he should be Chuanlu." (A special title for the first place in the second class of Chuanlu)
Mr. Zhang understood all this, and the Qin family members were very excited when they heard him say this.
What Mr. Zhang did not say was that generally, Jinshi who obtained the title of Chuanlu would usually enter the Hanlin Academy directly and serve as Shujishi and other positions.
In other words, Qin Qingyun, who scored the worst among the three, can also enter the Hanlin Academy, stay in the capital in the future, and have a good career prospect.
As for Gu Jinghuai and Qin Qingyuan, their future is even brighter.
After the top scholar passes the imperial examination, the emperor will personally grant him an official position, unless there are any unexpected circumstances.
The top scholar would be directly appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, responsible for civil work such as compiling national history and drafting imperial edicts.
As for the third and second place winners, their jobs and prospects are similar to those of the first place winner.
Generally speaking, holding a noble and important civil service position in the Hanlin Academy is one of the important ways to enter the upper echelons of the imperial court.
Although there is a difference in ranking between Tanhua and Bangyan, during the palace examination, the emperor personally chooses who is Tanhua and who is Bangyan.
There is often an unspoken rule that the third place winner is chosen from the second and third place winners of the first class.
This person is usually handsome and is often chosen as the third place in the imperial examination.
Therefore, the most popular person in the annual horse parade is the Tanhua Lang.
The Qin family has two Jinshi (imperial examination) graduates, and is the focus of attention of all the major families in Beijing.
On the way to the palace, Qin Qingyun was a little nervous. He was not as ranked as his elder brother and Jing Huai, and it was his first time to meet the emperor.
In comparison, Gu Jinghuai looked much calmer.
Gu Ting looked at this and that, wondering what the emperor's final decision would be. Suddenly, he was looking forward to today's palace examination.
