Chapter 660: Fight for Proud

Chang Lian saw Rong Chuan's confused look and said, "Come back to your senses. Don't be confused. The list can't be wrong. Look, our father is the second place, and you are the third place. There will be a first place in the family."

Chang Lian was not jealous of Rongchuan at all. He knew himself well and knew that he could achieve his current success only because of having a good father. He was really no match for Rongchuan.

Rong Chuan grinned, "Tanhua Lang."

Chang Lian, "Yes, you are the third place winner."

Shi Qing was originally in a complicated mood, but when she saw Rong Chuan's silly look, she burst out laughing, "Okay, Auntie is still waiting at home, you should go back and announce the good news."

Chang Lian clapped his hands, "Yes, yes, the messenger with the good news should be here soon. Rongchuan, let's go back home."

Rongchuan, "Ah, yes, let's go back home."

The two of them rushed out to the carriage in a hurry.

There was quite a lot of commotion here, and many people looked over here. They only looked away after Chang Lian and Rong Chuan left.

The results that the second son of Yuan had gone to see in person finally came out. "Have Chang Lian and Master Zhang left?"

Shi Qing, "I have to go back home to announce the good news."

The second Master Yuan said, "I was still thinking of congratulating you. Now, congratulations to Master Shi."

Shi Qing returned the gift, "Congratulations to you, and congratulations to Mr. Yuan on his success in the imperial examination."

The second son of Yuan said in a cheerful tone, "My family is still waiting for good news, so I'll go first."

"please."

Chang Lian and Rong Chuan arrived in front of the carriage, but there were other carriages blocking their way behind them. If they walked back, they would be very tired.

He said quietly, "Sir, I will go back home first."

Chang Lian said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Rongchuan had calmed down a bit, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "The third place winner."

Chang Lian laughed, "Yes, yes, you are the third place winner, a true third place winner."

Rongchuan has slightly red ears, and all the candidates who won the imperial examination are handsome.

Chang Lian continued, "If I hadn't announced your engagement early on, you would have been dragged away by now. It's said that a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families, and this family has a handsome son who is also sought after by others!"

Rong Chuan glared, "Third brother."

Chang Lian laughed, "I won't laugh at you anymore, haha, I think my father really blesses us."

Rongchuan burst out laughing, thinking of what his third brother shouted.

At the bottom of the list, Shen Yang finally saw his name at the end of the second-class list. He was happy to be in the second class, but also felt ashamed, because he had looked down the names before the second class one by one, and he was the last one.

The servant was relieved. He also knew that the young master's answer was not good. He lowered his head quickly, then raised his head again, "Young master, we should go back. The master is still waiting for news at home!"

Shen Yangzhang blushed. He dropped from sixth place to the last place in the second place. He seemed to hear some laughter, especially from Zhou Changlian. Zhou Changlian was at the front of the second place list. He took a few deep breaths and said, "Return."

Inside the palace, the emperor and Ning Xi were playing chess. The person they were waiting for finally came back, and the emperor asked, "Did you see clearly?"

"I see clearly."

The emperor curled his lips and said, "Go ahead and learn."

Soon Rongchuan's performance was repeated in the hall, and the voice was very similar.

Ning Xu couldn't help laughing, "This is really a shock."

The emperor was in a good mood and motioned for the others to leave. Then he said, "Originally, I wanted to help cheat."

I didn't expect Rongchuan to be so competitive. In fact, he should have been the runner-up, but Ning Shao's appearance meant he should have been the third place, so he was chosen as the third place.

Ning Xu felt an indescribable joy in her heart, as if her brother was alive again. "My eldest brother used to be the one who loved reading the most in the family. If the world wasn't so unfair, he would have been able to take part in the imperial examinations."

Now that Rongchuan, who looks so much like his elder brother, has become the third place in the imperial examination, he has nothing to regret.

Your Majesty, "If Ning Shao were the third place winner, he would surely charm many young ladies."

Ning Xu smiled, "Rongchuan is the same."

Speaking of this, Ning Xu thought of Rongchuan's marriage. Rongchuan was engaged to the daughter of Zhou Shuren's family. She raised her head to look at the emperor, then continued to look at the chessboard. The emperor didn't mention it.

The emperor put down the chess piece and said, "Qingran will secretly hide and see Rongchuan tomorrow. It is difficult to find more evidence to prove Rongchuan now. I really feel that you are right. Even the prince has a good impression of Rongchuan. It is said that mother and son are connected by heart. Qingran also needs to confirm it."

Ning Xu knew that the emperor had basically confirmed Rongchuan's identity and asked him to continue investigating. First, he believed in his ability and hoped to get more evidence and dig out some other things. Second, the emperor was concerned that if Rongchuan was involved, Ning Mansion's investigation and Rongchuan's appearance would help them get rid of Rongchuan.

The last time they met, the emperor actually had a plan in his mind. Shouldn't he be happy that the emperor's first reaction was to protect the child and that he had no plans for the child?

At Zhou's residence, Jianyan returned home late. Zhulan had just sent off the official who brought the good news. Rongchuan was the third place winner, which surprised Zhulan. However, she didn't know Changlian's grades. When she saw Jianyan, she asked, "How was the third young master's grades?"

Jianyan replied, "The third young master made it into the second place."

Zhulan clasped her hands together and said, "Thank God, God bless me."

Mrs. Dong jumped down in surprise, "Mother, mother, my husband succeeded."

Zhulan waved her hand, "Today is a double blessing, your monthly salary will be tripled."

Jianyan's mouth curled up a little. It was three times the monthly salary. His monthly salary was already high, a considerable income, and it just doubled this month!

Zhu Lan added, "It's wrong to set off firecrackers. Wait until the Third Young Master comes back before setting them off."

After saying that, Zhulan hurried back, "I need to write a letter, write a letter."

Although the horses that were sent to various state capitals to report the news had already left, Zhou Shuren must have known the news first, so she still had to write a letter. The one she wrote personally was different from the one she reported.

Changzhong did not follow his mother and motioned for Jianyan to hold him. "What is Tanhualang?"

Jianyan thought for a while and said, "Only those who are well-educated and good-looking can become the third place winner."

Changzhong touched his chubby face and said, "When I grow up, I want to become a top scholar."

Jianyan was amused, "Young Master is ambitious."

Changzhong chuckled, "Jianyan, are you getting married?"

Jianyan was stunned, "Get married?"

Changzhong nodded, "I just heard from Granny Song and my mother that you and Shenxing are not young anymore, it's time to get married. What does getting married mean?"

Jianyan didn't know how to answer. How to explain this? He really wanted to let go of the young master. The young master now liked to ask why!

Dong was too excited, and when she came back to her senses, she heard these words, "Little brother, get off Jianyan quickly, Third Sister-in-law will take you back to the backyard."

Changzhong looked at Jianyan eagerly, but got no answer. Changzhong sighed, "Jianyan, you have to study hard."

In other words, "......."

No, this is not a problem of studying, I don’t know how to explain knowledge!

Mrs. Dong pinched her little brother's fat hand and said, "You are bullying me again."

Changzhong covered his face and snickered, "It's more fun to be discreet than to be careful."

Mrs. Dong looked at the dumbfounded Jianyan and hurriedly pulled Changzhong away. Her brother-in-law was really naughty and fearless. Well, it was all because of his father-in-law's habit!
