More than half a month later, the results of the examination came out.

Chi An got up early and prepared to check if he was on the list.

Because the results are out today.

Chi An was a little nervous and couldn't sleep last night.

While eating, Chi An didn't feel like eating. It was almost time to post the results, and he wanted to go and take a look, so he had no appetite.

Gui Feng looked at Chi An and frowned slightly.

With one hand, he pushed Chi An, who was about to stand up, back onto the stool: "Eat quickly, the list won't run away. I'll go with you after dinner. If we go now, it will be crowded and it will be a waste of time."

Chi An listened to Gui Feng's words and could only sit down and eat obediently.

Gui Feng didn't want Chi An to pass by so early.

There are quite a few people who want to marry into this list.

His little husband is so handsome.

It would be bad if someone took advantage of the chaos and took you away.

Go a little later, there will be fewer people.

When they arrived, there were still many people on the list.

Guifeng protected Chi An and came to the front.

Chi An didn't dare to look for his name from the front, so he started from the back, one by one, looking up.

Guifeng looked down directly from the first place.

I saw Chi An's name first.

Guifeng was very happy at this moment, even happier than if he had won a battle.

"An An. You are Hui Yuan."

Chi An looked in the direction of Gui Feng's finger and saw his name on the first one. His eyes were red with excitement: "Brother, it's true, it's true."

Chi An hugged Gui Feng's arm excitedly.

Guifeng silently transferred the knife in his hand to his other hand.

To prevent Chi An from getting hurt.

Although the knife was put back into the scabbard.

But the knife is heavy for Chi An, if he is accidentally photographed.

His young husband has fair skin, so he must have blushed a lot.

—

After Chi An passed the imperial examination and became the first in the exam, the front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion became lively again.

Officials from the imperial court would come to visit every now and then by sending invitations.

Originally, some officials wanted to send their own sons or daughters to marry Chi An.

But seeing that Chi An and Gui Feng both clearly refused.

They turned their attention to Guifeng.

There are good-looking sons in the family, but none of them are married yet.

They wanted to give their son to Guifeng.

This Gui Feng is now highly valued by the emperor. Despite his young age, he has made many military achievements and was granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

You have to curry favor with him.

But he was also rejected by Guifeng.

After Chi An found out, although he didn't say anything, his actions made it clear.

Guifeng doesn’t want to kiss you or hug you, but he does.

Every time she looked at Guifeng with red eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The night before the palace examination.

Chi An leaned in Gui Feng's arms feeling aggrieved.

Reaching out and touching Gui Feng's Adam's apple, he said, "Brother, if I pass the exam, can we hold another wedding the next day?"

The voice was deliberately kept very soft, with a distinct hint of seduction.

Gui Feng covered Chi An with the quilt and put his hand down: "Be good, go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow is the palace examination, go to bed early."

"Didn't you refuse to be hugged or kissed a few days ago? Why did you roll into my arms today?"

Chi An said pitifully, "Brother, do you really not want me anymore? Are you going to marry someone else?"

"Is it that the wild flowers outside are prettier than me?"

"Brother, you promised not to marry anyone else."

Gui Feng squeezed Chi An's hand and coaxed him with a smile: "No one is as pretty as An An. An An is the prettiest. I won't marry anyone else."

Chi An: “Really?”

Gui Feng: "Really? When the results are out, we will hold the wedding. I have already asked someone to prepare the wedding dress."

Chi An looked up at Gui Feng in surprise and asked, "Really?"

Guifeng: “Really.”

After he returned to Beijing, he began to prepare quietly.

I originally thought of waiting until Chi An finished his palace examination and then giving him a surprise.

But now that Chi An has taken the initiative to bring it up, there's no way to give him a surprise.

—

When the palace examination results were announced, Guifeng was training soldiers on the parade ground.

I learned the news from seeing and hearing my colleagues running over to share the good news.

Chi An won the third place in the imperial examination.

Li Xiayun won the second place.

The top scorer was a candidate in his forties.

Guifeng put down the spear in his hand.

Ride home.

Let people prepare things for marriage.

— (with easter eggs)

On the day of their wedding, almost all the officials in the court came.

The servants in the mansion held copper coins in their hands.

Distribute it to the people watching outside.

Twenty cents per person.

Officials and their families had their meals in the mansion.

More than a dozen banquets were set up outside the palace for the common people to enjoy as well.

Have fun with the people

When they got married, Qiao Jing also came and attended the wedding banquet.

Both of them were wearing men's wedding suits.

Holding the red ribbon in hand, looking at each other.

There is no room for anyone else except each other.

The extra story is about the death of

The third place in the first class was rewarded by Qiao Jing with 500 taels of silver.

The top scholar entered the Hanlin Academy.

Chi An and Li Xiayun, because of the relationship between Gui Feng and Lin Mu.

Chi An was assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, and Li Xia Yu was assigned to the Ministry of War.

Candidates who pass the exam have the opportunity to go home to visit their families for one month.

Chi An and Li Xiayun discussed it and went back together.

Originally, Li Xiayun thought that since she would go, she wouldn't need to tell Lin Mu about this matter.

But on the day of departure, Lin Mu caught up on horseback.

Lin Mu climbed onto the carriage and said, "Why didn't you tell me before you left? I came to look for you today, but I didn't find you until I realized you were gone."

Lin Mu leaned against the carriage, panting.

Sweat appeared on my forehead.

He was catching up at full speed.

Li Xiayun pinched her fingers and handed her water bag to Lin Mu: "Drink some, I made pear water this morning."

Lin Mu started to act like a rogue: "Feed me, feed me mouth to mouth, I don't care. If you don't feed me, when I go back, I will tell everyone that we have had skin-to-skin contact, and you are still messing around with me."

Li Xiayun lowered his eyes and thought about it.

Finally, he closed his eyes, took a sip, and drank it up.

Stick to Lin Mu's lips.

Transfer the sweet pear juice in your mouth to Lin Mu's mouth.

This was Li Xiayun’s first time doing this and she wasn’t very experienced.

Some pear juice came out.

The clothes of both people were soaked.

Eyelashes tremble slightly.

The tips of the ears are red.

Lin Mu lowered his eyes and looked at him, with a determination and a hint of smile in his eyes.

Regardless of whether it was out of exploitation or out of sincerity, he felt that his life was truly ruined by Li Xiayun.

He was attracted to Li Xiayun.

Have bad intentions.

He grabbed Li Xiayun's waist and pushed her into his arms.

Let him sit astride your arms.

"Xiao Yun, I'm still a little thirsty, what should I do? Can you feed me again?"

The tips of Li Xiayun's ears turned red.

Li Xiayun warned herself in her heart not to get involved.

When he arrived at Lin Mu's home, he was arranged to marry a lady or boy from a prominent family in the capital.

Even if their relationship is over, he wants to gain the greatest benefit for himself before the relationship ends.

I fed him on and off for a quarter of an hour.

Lin Mu was finally satisfied.

Li Xiayun's lips were a little red and swollen.

Lin Mu stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Xiayun's lips: "Xiayun, when we go back, let's get married, okay?"

Li Xiayun turned her face away, not daring to look at Lin Mu.

He only used Lin Mu.

If Lin Mu treated him badly, he would be like other officials in the capital who were not that nice to their mistresses.

Then he can use it with peace of mind.

But during the time they were together, Lin Mu was so good to him.

So good that he became somewhat dependent on her.

"We are both men, no one will agree with us."

Lin Mu held Li Xiayun's face with his hands, forcing him to turn his head and look at him: "We are together to live our own lives. Don't care about other people's opinions. We are not living with others."

"Are you dissatisfied with my figure or my money? My parents usually live in the old house. We only go there during the Chinese New Year and don't have to go there at other times."

"You don't have to worry about not getting along with them. They are all very easy to talk to. After we get married, I will give you all my property and register it in your name."

"I have already requested the imperial edict. As long as you agree, I will ask the emperor to write your name on the edict when we return. How about we get married right away?"

"I have already asked an embroiderer to embroider the wedding dress. If you are not mentally prepared, we can wait a little longer."

"Can you please stop avoiding me?"

Li Xiayun looked into Lin Mu's eyes for a long time before nodding and agreeing, "Okay."

Lin Mu: “!”

"Really, Xia Yun?"

Lin Mu didn't expect that Li Xiayun actually agreed.

Li Xiayun looked at Lin Mu's happy expression and her mood also became happy.

"Really. When we get married after returning, I will see the imperial edict."

The promises of Han people cannot be trusted, only the imperial edict is the greatest guarantee.

“It’s natural.”

Lin Mu was so happy that he wanted to take Li Xiayun back with him right away, ask for the imperial edict from the palace, and get married immediately.

When they arrived at the village, they learned some bad news.

He died not long ago.

Li Zheng's health had always been a little poor. More than four months ago, he went out on a rainy day and fell.

My health is getting worse.

The last one passed away a few days ago.

Since Li Zheng's death, Li Xingwen has become less cheerful than before.

There was a layer of sadness all over his body.

Gui Feng, Chi An and Li Xia Yun went to burn incense at Lao Li Zheng's grave.

Originally they wanted to take Li Ergou and Liu Hu away as well.

But the two of them refused to leave.

Aunt Wang didn't leave either.

Finally they took Li Xingwen back to the capital.

He left them one hundred taels of silver.

—

No one knows what Li Zheng was doing on that rainy night.

Since that rainy night, Chi An's grandmother and her family have never appeared again.

I just heard that a while ago, a hunter saw several corpses when he went up the mountain to hunt.

The body was covered with marks of being torn by wild animals.

I don't know who the dead people are.

-

In fact, the real disease can be cured by further treatment at a high price.

He himself doesn't want to be treated.

While Li Xingwen was out buying medicine for him, he took the poison he had bought in advance.

Only if he died early, his son would be brought to the capital to live a good life.

His son lives a poor life in this village with this old man.

Going to a bigger and more prosperous place will broaden your horizons.
