In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the re-examination. Before Ling Jiheng got on the ox cart, Chi Xingyue pulled him.
He smiled and turned around, got on Huang Minbo's carriage, and invited Ling Jiyi to join him.
In addition, Yinbao and Lingyi were also in the car.
Huang Minbo's servant was driven onto the ox cart, Jinbao drove the car, and Ling San and Ling Si accompanied him.
Chi Xingyue and the old lady sat in another carriage that was somewhat luxuriously decorated, and they took down the Ling family's sign.
The convoy slowly moved out. Jiang Fusheng and Li Minhua looked at each other, not understanding why the Ling family was making such a fuss.
But no one asked. The two of them sat quietly, thinking about the topics they had discussed with Ling Jiheng, Ling Jiyi, and Huang Minbo in the past two days.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front.
When they lifted the curtain, they saw that it was a horse-drawn carriage that had collided with the ox-drawn cart in the lead.
The collision was particularly severe. The two animals were lying on the ground, the carriage was overturned, and the shaft was broken.
Ling San and Ling Si jumped out in time with their servants and controlled the thugs in the other car.
With knives at their necks, they were tortured to find out who ordered them to do so.
Jinbao jumped onto the Huang family's carriage, bypassed the accident scene, and headed straight towards the examination hall.
Other vehicles hurried to catch up. The old lady clutched her chest and said, "Fortunately, Ji Heng didn't take that car, otherwise..."
Otherwise, I won’t be able to take the exam!
"I don't know which wicked person is rushing so fast. Is he in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Chi Xingyue thought, besides the guy with the surname Xu, who else could it be?
Their family lives in the provincial capital, and they only have this one enemy, who is hiding in the dark.
He hurried to comfort the old lady and asked her to relax.
"Ling San and Ling Si will take care of it. The most important thing for us now is to send our husband to the exam!"
"Yes, but you can't let such a small thing affect your mood!"
In the Huang family carriage, Ling Jiyi looked at Ling Jiheng in horror: "Brother, did you see that? We almost got into trouble!"
Ling Jiheng said "hmm" without further explanation.
Huang Minbo asked, "Brother Ling, did you know about this incident a long time ago?"
Ling Jiheng didn't admit it: "It's just a preparation!"
Huang Minbo understood, but Ling Jiyi was a little confused.
Ling Jiheng raised his hand and tapped his forehead: "Don't think too much, just study hard for the exam later!"
Ling Jiyi said "Oh" and sat down obediently.
In the last ox cart, Jiang Fusheng and Li Minhua were sweating coldly.
It is unclear whether the vehicle was hit by an accident or by conspiracy.
However, Ling Jiheng's ability to cope with the situation shocked the two of them, but also made them admire him more.
No wonder, no wonder he can live in such a big house and be on good terms with the county magistrate's son.
The car arrived at the examination center quickly. The process was the same as last time. After roll call, we were taken to our seats.
However, the number of participants this time was greatly reduced. Although there were many people at the entrance of the examination institute, it was far from being crowded.
After watching Ling Jiheng enter the examination hall, the old lady asked someone to turn around and go to the place where the accident happened.
But I found that there was no one here.
The street vendor came forward tremblingly and said that Ling San had taken the man to the government office.
Chi Xingyue didn't care, gave the other party a dozen copper coins as a reward, and left.
I went to two renovated shops with the old lady and then bought some things I liked at the nearby silk shops and jewelry stores.
Near noon, I found a restaurant to eat, took a short rest, and then went to the Examination Institute to pick someone up.
Not long after, the courtyard gate opened and scholars in long robes walked out one after another.
Chi Xingyue stood beside the ox cart, looking pretty, like a flower bud about to bloom.
When the scholars looked up, they saw the girl.
Many people blushed and wanted to approach and chat with her, but they found that she had a woman's hairstyle.
I can only sigh in regret.
Ling Jiheng came out and caught sight of Chi Xingyue at a glance.
He threw the thing at Ling Jiyi, walked over quickly, took Chi Xingyue's hand and got on the ox cart.
"What are you doing? Fourth brother hasn't come yet!"
Ling Jiheng said sourly: "If I hadn't acted quickly, believe it or not, those wolf cubs would have pounced on us long ago!"
Chi Xingyue chuckled, thinking he was exaggerating.
But she didn't argue, and poured him tea and brought him snacks with a smile.
Jinbao waited for Ling Jiyi and Huang Minbo to climb onto the ox cart, flicked the whip, and went home.
As a result, as soon as I got home, I saw Ling San and Ling Si, with flattering and smug smiles on their faces.
"Master, it's done!"
Ling Jiheng got out of the car and asked them to explain in detail.
"The man driving the carriage was very arrogant at first and threatened us, saying that if we offended his master, our Ling family would have no chance of surviving in the capital.
Tell me, is our Ling family any prominent figure?
We've only been in the city for two months, and the people living around here might not even recognize our oxcart, but he knows there's something wrong with it at first glance!"
"Ling San and I thought that Lord Yu was honest and upright, and that he would enforce the law impartially. Since that person refused to speak, we would take him to the yamen for trial.
Halfway through the journey, the man became disheartened. Although he refused to reveal the identity of his master, he offered two hundred taels of silver as compensation.
"Then I took it, turned around, and followed that person...
Hey, Master, you know."
Ling Jiheng nodded, asked the two to divide the banknotes, and then called Doctor Cheng to check Lao Niu's injuries.
Doctor Cheng: “…”
If you are sick, go find someone else. I am not a veterinarian!
But I still went to the barn to feel the old cow's bones.
The one in the morning was a full-scale attack. In order to plot against Ling Jiheng, Lao Niu almost lost his life.
Fortunately, Chi Xingyue had made preparations and gave them spiritual spring water in advance, so the old cows were able to hold on until now.
Doctor Cheng simply picked some herbs and asked Zhaocai to boil them.
Chi Xingyue took the opportunity to put some spiritual spring water into the earthen jar, hoping to save the old cow's life.
Jiang Fusheng and Li Minhua returned to Chonghuayuan. Faced with everyone's questions, they didn't want to say anything.
What they saw and heard that day shocked them so much that it was not until this moment that they deeply realized the gap between them and Ling Jiheng.
Ling Jiheng was not what he said he was, a silly boy from the countryside with a little money and no background.
He is a promising young man who owns a big house, has capable subordinates, and is on good terms with the prefect!
It took a long time before he recounted the thrilling scene that happened in the morning.
After hearing this, the few people who did not take the exam broke out in cold sweats and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Jiang Fusheng and Li Minhua tacitly did not mention the matter of the two hundred taels of silver notes, for fear that their already unstable mentality would become even more unbalanced.
Yes, how could a servant of a family so easily receive a reward of 100 taels of silver from his master? How rich must his family be?
Jiang Fusheng once again felt that he was marrying above his station and had an urge to find a job in the Ling family.
Li Minhua also wanted to earn money for his retirement.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Chi Xingyue massaged Ling Jiheng's shoulders and asked him how he did in the exam.
"I don't know, I'll leave it to fate!"
Chi Xingyue said "Oh" and said: "Then, regardless of whether you pass the exam or not, we will open in three days?"
