There was no movement at all, and it was even said to be auspicious...
Pei Qinyu frowned and came back to his senses.
"What is Pei Jieyuan looking at?"
"Haha, the sky is clear, are you fulfilling your wish to the heavens?"
"Congratulations, Brother Pei! You've won first place, your future is limitless!"
…
The compliments were endless.
Pei Qinyu thanked everyone from the crowd.
.
Back to the courtyard.
Song Niannian, holding her full-month-old baby, stood at the gate of the small courtyard made of bluestone bricks and tiles with the officials who came to congratulate her.
Some bricks and tiles on the courtyard wall were covered with moss. The woman and the official standing in front of the door caught Pei Qinyu's eye, which made his eyes swell.
This journey has not been easy! But joy comes so suddenly!
"Pei Jieyuan, congratulations!"
.
Pei Qinyu was twenty-one years old and won the first place in the imperial examination, and was considered a young talent.
The banquet and poetry reading can no longer be postponed.
Song Niannian stayed at home. She had no talent or family background, but she was beautiful and could not be considered as a loser. However, Pei Qinyu's noble and prestigious "friends" looked down on her in some ways, either openly or secretly.
This is looked down upon and is clearly shown.
Song Niannian was indifferent, thinking they were just disgusting men, and she pretended not to know about their looks and words.
Where are we now?
Pei Qinyu will be the top three in the imperial examination! After the Spring Examination, even the princess fell in love with him and wanted to force him to divorce his wife. There were many people who looked down on Song Niannian. What kind of little things were these people in Jiangnan Mansion?
.
Pei Qinyu also felt it.
But these people, although they were on good terms with him on the surface, actually looked down on him.
The sons of noble families have seen a lot of the world, and people like Pei Qinyu who suddenly emerged are at most "potential stocks" to them.
And those who showed their affection to him, or even hinted at marrying their daughters to him... were all from impoverished families or wealthy businessmen.
Pei Qinyu doesn't lack these.
But he was very glad that Song Niannian was not a sensitive person. She said what was on her mind directly. With the honesty and straightforwardness of a country girl, she helped Pei Qinyu to navigate the officialdom. After returning home, he felt at ease.
…
The story really begins when Pei Qinyu becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination.
Pei Qinyu thinks Song Niannian is "honest and honest", but Song Niannian actually doesn't care about any of this.
The most difficult and saddening plot has not yet come, and now these are child's play. If Song Niannian gets emotional at all, it would be disrespectful to the several worlds she has experienced.
.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Pei Qinyu went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
Pei Yan is three years old this year...
When going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, the future was uncertain, so no one ever brought their wives with them.
But Pei Qinyu didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she thought Song Niannian was in good health. Pei Yan had been rolling around on the ground since he was a child and was not raised too carefully, so he was in good health.
So, the family of three went to Beijing together to take the exam.
Pei said, "Son, I don't ask you to earn me an imperial decree, I just ask that you have a safe journey. I think I am a blessed mother, and Yan'er was born with auspicious signs. Bringing them to the capital will bring you good fortune."
"There are many people in the capital, and you were born in Pei Village. Even if you don't look like one of us, you are still from Pei Village! Nian Niang came to the capital with you. No matter what, she gave birth to your children, and you can't let her down!"
Pei Qinyu was given a lot of silver and money by Pei.
As a countryman, he didn't have many banknotes, so all he was given was small change, bits and pieces, and some banknotes. It was obvious that Pei had been saving them for a long time.
"Mom, I know."
.
Song Niannian must follow Pei Qinyu.
If her story was a step later, she would be more passive.
Fighting the princess is not easy. Under the overwhelming plot, you have to hold enough cards in your hand to fight against the cruel plot of this world! Song Niannian collapsed the plot, which shows that she is very experienced.
Therefore, when it comes to auspicious signs, Song Niannian had already foreshadowed it.
Over the years, she has been emotionally stable, honest and cheerful. She has made great contributions to Pei Qinyu and helped him make several good friends.
It was difficult to find an escort agency for their trip to the capital for the exam, but fortunately, Young Master Jiang from Jiangnan Prefecture, a good friend of theirs, was also coming to the capital. They took his ride, first traveling by water and then by official road.
.
With red eyes, Pei sent Pei Qinyu and Song Niannian to the carriage.
Pei Yan stuck his head out of the carriage and waved to Pei.
The mountains in the capital are high and the roads are long. It will take three months to half a year to get there. After waiting for the results of the spring examination and then waiting for the imperial edict from the capital, Pei Qinyu may become an official in the capital... It is said to be going smoothly, but from here in Peijia Village, Pei Shi is afraid that she will not see Pei Qinyu for three years.
.
Song Niannian was sitting in the carriage.
She was dressed as a woman, with only a jade hairpin in her bun, but she was indescribably beautiful.
Her black hair is like clouds, her long eyelashes are shining, and her face is like the moon. There is an indescribable beauty in her beauty.
Although she was dressed simply, Pei Qinyu had recently discovered that when men saw Song Niannian, their eyes lingered on her more and more.
Although she is already a married woman, Song Niannian is like a pearl covered with dust, slowly shedding her rustic shell.
If no one said that Pei Qinyu was now with Song Niannian, who would have guessed that she was just an orphan from the countryside who was sold into his family as a child bride when she was young.
"Niang Nian." Pei Qinyu reached out and covered Song Niannian's hand with her slender hand.
Her hands are small and soft, but there are always some thin calluses on the fingertips, which is a testament to her tenacity.
Song Niannian raised her eyes and looked at him slowly.
Her almond-shaped eyes were clear, with distinct black and white, beautiful and clean. She didn't look like a woman, but more like a young girl.
As soon as Song Niannian got on the carriage, she began to organize the original plot, thinking about Princess Duan Ning's personality and temper, where she met Pei Qinyu, and why she fell in love with Pei Qinyu.
