Chapter 1377 Huiyuan

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the list was released. Zhou's grandson-in-law participated, and the Zhou family was very concerned and sent people to guard it early.

At the place where the results were announced, Steward Ding was already familiar with all the major stewards in the capital. The steward of the Wang family came over and asked, "Steward Ding, why are you here in person?"

Butler Ding really didn't need to come in person, but he came anyway. He was where he is today because of his master, so he came every time.

Steward Ding smiled and said, "My master is very concerned about our two young ladies' application, so he sent me here."

When the steward of the Wang family heard this, he thought that the Zhou family valued their eldest son so much that they even asked the chief steward to look at the list. He would tell the old patriarch about this importance when he got back.

Gu Liufeng and Wang Wei stood together, and Liufeng said, "I thought you would be waiting at home."

Wang Wei admitted generously, "I am nervous, where is my brother-in-law?"

Liu Feng didn't lie, "I'm more nervous. You know how high my father-in-law's expectations of me are."

Wang Wei smiled when he thought of his father-in-law. His family gave him pressure, but his father-in-law gave him comfort. This was good because it allowed him to rest.

Liu Feng pointed ahead, "Wen Rong is here."

Wang Wei hugged the hand warmer tightly, "Now the competition has started again. Many people who are defending the list today are here for Wen Rong's ranking."

Liu Feng really didn't envy the attention, he knew he couldn't bear it. He admired Wen Rong for being able to face so much attention without changing his expression.

Wen Rong was nervous. Now that he had gained control of the family's resources, he had to use his academic performance to speak for himself. Only Huiyuan could stop the increasingly restless families.

"The list is here."

The shouts rang out, and everyone looked at the official who was posting the list. They made way for the list and waited for it.

Wang Wei clutched the hand warmer tightly, trying to calm himself down, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Butler Ding has experience in looking at the list. The carriage will never stop at the front. The carriage will stop at a relatively far place. The distance is not short, but it is convenient to return home.

In less than half an hour, Steward Ding returned home, got off the carriage and trotted to report the news.

As soon as Steward Ding entered the room, he panted and said, "Ms. Gu ranked 45th, and Ms. Wang ranked even higher at 9th. Congratulations to the old lady for both of them ranking well."

Zhao's hands, which had been clasped together, loosened and he continued to chant Amitabha.

Zhu Lan was not worried about Wang Wei. As the grandson who was carefully raised by the Wang family, his ranking would not be too low as long as he did not make any big mistakes. She was worried about Gu Liufeng. Now she felt relieved. "Okay, okay, today is a double happiness. I will give one month's salary to both of them."

Zhao said hurriedly, "Mother, Changyi is still waiting for news. I will send a servant to deliver the message."

Zhu Lan laughed, "Why would you be needed to deliver the message? There are people in each department watching the list. By the time you deliver the message, it will have spread everywhere."

"Mom, you can't make fun of your daughter-in-law. This is her first time, too."

Su Xuan continued, "When Mingrui takes the imperial examination, he will have experience."

Mrs. Zhao liked to hear this. Doesn't it mean that her son will pass the imperial examination smoothly? "If Mingrui really passes the examination smoothly, I will let him serve you tea."

Su Xuan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait."

This year, someone from the Zhou family also took the imperial examination, but he did not live in the Zhou family, but lived outside. The house was given to the family by Zhou Shuren, and in the future, when members of the family go to Beijing to take the exam, they will live in the courtyard house outside. This will not only avoid a lot of trouble in the future, but also be more conducive to selecting some good members of the family.

Zhu Lan asked, "Where are the children of the Zhou family?"

Steward Ding clapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. I only thought of the two reference aunts."

Zhulan didn't ask Butler Ding to send anyone else to check. If anyone got infected, he would send a message.

Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi heard the ranking and said to Lord Liu: "My son-in-law is not bad and did not embarrass me."

Lord Liu knew that Zhou Changyi was showing off, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Chang Yi was very happy in his heart. How should I put it? This was a scholar from the second branch of the Zhou family who passed the imperial examination. He was the only one from the fourth branch of the Zhou family who got married because no one from the second branch had taken the imperial examination. His son-in-law was also half a son, which really made him proud.

Lord Liu could sense Zhou Changyi's thoughts and whispered, "My second son is also a good student. Really, my grandfather said that Yuan Bo has a very good brain."

Zhou Changyi thought, here it comes again, "You've already mentioned it to me."

Lord Liu was also anxious, "Why don't you believe it? I am an example. Before I met my wife, I was really stingy, but after I met my wife, I was really generous to her, very generous."

I don’t even hide my private money!

Zhou Changyixin, who had heard a little about it, asked, "Are you generous to your father-in-law?"

Lord Liu said firmly: "Generous, especially generous."

Because it was all prepared by his wife. When the marriage was arranged, everyone knew his reputation and his wife's sisters often laughed at her. Later, when his wife came back to her parents' home and gave her silver in retaliation, he felt particularly relieved and had to smile even though he was heartbroken.

Chang Yi has never investigated these things, I think he can check them out when he gets back.

Lord Liu continued, "Think about it again. It's great that my son is like me. My eldest son is not like me. He had a maid before he got married. I didn't have a maid before I got married, and I didn't have a concubine after I got married. My youngest son is so much like me, so he definitely won't have a concubine."

He didn't want to use money to support extra women, supporting one wife was enough!

Chang Yi thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. After he started to investigate, he didn't take anything Lord Liu said seriously. But today he was in a rare good mood and took it to heart.

Lord Liu continued, "My wife really likes your daughter. Really, I swear."

The wife just wanted more people to discipline her son.

If nothing had happened to Cheng's wife, Changyi would not have felt too bad about this. Now he has kept it in mind. His mother is the most representative example of the importance of a good mother-in-law.

Neither Wang Wei nor Liu Feng left the place where the list was posted. They knew that the rankings had been relaxed and were now watching the excitement.

Wang Wei whispered, "The Wen family must be in a bad mood this time."

"The champion, whoever has a champion will be proud."

"You don't understand."

Concubine Liu's family had a top scholar, and the Liu family had always used this to suppress the Wen family's children. Now that Wen Rong has appeared, the Wen family can finally get their revenge.

Wen Rong is surrounded by people who flatter her. If the empress gets pregnant again, if it's a son, then he will be one of the three legitimate sons. The chances of other chances will be even slimmer. If it's a daughter, then she will be a legitimate princess.

The Wen family has produced another champion, who is most likely the top scholar, and more people want to curry favor with the Wen family.

Liu Feng didn't want to watch the excitement anymore, "Aren't we leaving?"

Wang Wei spread his hands and said, "I'll wait a moment. I'm the eldest grandson of the Wang family. I want to congratulate Wen Rong on behalf of the family."

If he really wanted to stay longer, he would be freezing to death.

Liu Feng looked at the people in the three inner and outer layers, "You'll have to wait."

Wang Wei sighed, "Brother-in-law, please go back first. I'll wait for a while."

Liu Feng couldn't bear to leave his brother-in-law behind and go first, "I'll wait for you to go together."

Inside the palace, the queen was suffering from severe morning sickness and was in a bad mood. No one had seen her for several days.

The queen was so exhausted from vomiting that she lay down leaning back, "The results are announced today and my father has gotten what he wanted."
