Chapter 2 Stunning (Second Update)
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't sit still at all, so she stood in front of the window and looked at the street outside.
She finally witnessed the enthusiasm of the people.
It’s more lively than any other festival.
And everyone's face was filled with excited smiles.
Cui Qingci said nervously, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother should be the top scholar, right?"
They originally wanted to go and see Jinbang, but there were too many people there, so my sister-in-law said it was not necessary.
Jiang Zhiluo said confidently, "Well, he must be the top scorer."
There was no need to look or doubt it, Jiang Zhiluo simply trusted Cui Hejin.
Believe in his abilities and talents.
Thinking of Cui Hejin, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes also lit up.
Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "I'm really excited."
"When your grandfather was around, he actually wanted the Cui family to change its appearance and take the path of civil officials."
“It’s just not that easy.”
"I didn't expect He Jin to be able to do it now."
"I have finally done my duty to the ancestors of the Cui family."
Mrs. Cui felt a sense of pride in her heart.
And the person that Mrs. Cui was most grateful to was Jiang Zhiluo.
If Zhiluo had not entered the Cui family and cured her and He Jin, who knows what the Cui family would be like now.
What Mrs. Cui felt most emotional about was that Jiang Zhiluo was actually the extremely intelligent sixth daughter of the Wei family, Wei Qingluo.
This simply made her more excited.
I was so shocked that I couldn't recover for a long time.
Moreover, the Wei family has now been rehabilitated and has been granted the title of General's Mansion by the emperor. Naturally, its status is incomparable to that of other noble families.
Cui Qingci said: "I'm a little nervous too!"
At this time, they heard the sound of gongs and drums from afar.
I know it was the Ministry of Rites that rang the bell, and the Shuntian Prefecture Government was protecting it.
Ensure the safety of the top three scorers.
The people were so enthusiastic that they squeezed in without realizing it.
However, starting from the golden list, the people watched and followed as they walked towards the Imperial Street.
"Come here, come here!"
When everyone saw the team coming, they shouted excitedly and called out excitedly.
"It's the number one scholar!"
Everyone saw the top scholar riding on his horse at a glance.
Because the top scholar is wearing red clothes today.
He was already extremely handsome, as beautiful as an ink painting. He wore the red robe of the top scholar, and his every move was noble and outstanding, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone was amazed at first sight, and even felt dazzled.
Many people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement and couldn't take their eyes off him.
“It’s so beautiful!”
"That's the top scholar. He's so young."
"Ahhh, throw the flowers quickly."
"Yes, yes, throw the flower quickly."
"The number one scholar is so handsome! Look here, look here."
Everyone came to their senses and excitedly threw flowers at Cui Hejin.
This is the custom of the top scholar parade, and people will express their admiration and love by throwing flowers.
But it was very strange that even if someone had a good throwing accuracy, every time they were about to get close to the number one scholar's clothes, a weak wind would blow and blow the flowers they threw aside.
Everyone persevered and followed the team to throw flowers.
There are even girls from upstairs teahouses, restaurants, etc. throwing flowers down.
The distance was very close, and it would hit Cui Hejin if thrown down.
But it was still blown away by the wind.
This made many girls stamp their feet in anxiety.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.
Not to mention that Cui Hejin attracted others, even she couldn't take her eyes off him.
I didn't expect him to look so good in the top scholar's uniform.
Just like a painting.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think of the night in Donghe Village when her soul was intact and she saw Cui Hejin.
Like white snow and moonlight, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Cui Qingci said, "Big Brother must have used his inner strength to not allow the flowers thrown by others to get close to his clothes."
Cui Qingci could naturally see it.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Seeing Cui Hejin riding over, she took out the flowers she had made long ago and threw them down.
Cui Hejin seemed to sense something and looked up slightly. When he saw Jiang Zhiluo, he naturally reached out and took the flower in his hand.
The two people looked at each other in the air, as if thousands of emotions were surging.
Jiang Zhiluo felt like she was being electrocuted when he looked at her like that.
Even though they had been together for such a long time, she still felt shy at this moment.
My face felt slightly hot.
My heart is beating fast.
Soon, the team continued to move forward.
Someone saw this and couldn't help but look upstairs.
"Who is that girl?"
"have no idea!"
"Why did the top scholar only accept her flowers?"
"The number one scholar only smiled at her."
No one saw the top scholar smile along the way. He always looked so dignified and self-possessed.
But he only smiled when he received the flowers from the woman.
Everyone felt a little sad.
Some young ladies were dissatisfied and ordered their maids to ask, "Go and find out whose daughter that is and what her status is."
Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn't care about these things.
She was thinking that after today, Cui Hejin would be working in the Hanlin Academy.
They will live in the capital from now on.
Cui Hejin's salary alone is not enough, it would be better to have a family business.
Although they had opened two stores in Donghe Village before, it was not enough.
It is expensive to live in the capital, and buying vegetables, meat and grain is very expensive.
So Jiang Zhiluo thought about opening a shop in Beijing to do business.
In the past, all the Cui family’s properties were also sealed off.
Fortunately, the emperor was kind and returned the two shops to the Cui family.
However, some shops have already been bought and taken over by some noble families.
It is not convenient for the emperor to force them to return it.
But it’s good to have two shops. Jiang Zhiluo needs to think carefully about what business to start with these two shops.
When the sound of the troops and the gongs faded away, Jiang Zhiluo, Old Madam Cui, and Cui Qingci prepared to go back.
Just as Cui Qingci was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly heard a voice.
"Qingci, is that you?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Cui Qingci's face changed.
Then he saw Pei Nanchen standing not far away.
Cui Qingci never thought that she would see such a person here.
For so long, she even thought she had forgotten him.
Jiang Zhiluo and Old Madam Cui naturally also saw this person.
I have to say, he is indeed elegant and handsome.
Jiang Zhiluo knew at a glance that this person was Pei Nanchen.
She had seen in her dream how Pei Nanchen treated Cui Qingci.
Although Pei Nanchen was nice to Cui Qingci at the beginning, because of the old lady of the Pei family and that cousin, Pei Nanchen misunderstood Cui Qingci as cruel and ruthless.
Pei Nanchen looked a little haggard, no longer as calm and cool as before.
He looked at Cui Qingci with slightly red eyes, wanting to get closer but not daring to.
Cui Qingci didn't say anything. She got on the carriage, lowered the curtain, and said, "Let's go home!"
Jiang Zhiluo was a little worried about Cui Qingci, so she reached out and held her hand and said, "Sister, are you okay?"
Cui Qingci's nose felt sore and she said, "I thought I had forgotten everything that happened before, but his appearance made me suddenly remember what happened at the Pei family."
If she said she had no hatred in her heart, that would be a lie.
She had hatred in her heart, and actually wanted to ask him a lot of questions at that time.
But now, she felt there was no need to ask.
