Chapter 434: Making a Deal with the Prince of Daliang
"No, Su Qian has always been calm and reserved... Although he sometimes jumps out a little, he is not good at talking, and he doesn't spend much time with me in the mansion."
Su Qianqian commented on "Su Qian" seriously, but the gloom in Prince Ping's eyes deepened.
He couldn't believe that the person he was willing to protect with his life would actually be a woman, and Qin Hanzhang's wife!
Because he hated women, he once killed a concubine who climbed into his bed. After that, even the dogs in the yard were male, and no woman dared to approach him anymore.
But why did he treat Su Qianqian differently? When he heard the news of "Su Qian's" death, he went crazy and went into Qixia Mountain, and killed countless wolves with another madman Jiang Baipin, just to prove that "Su Qian" was not dead.
"Su Qian" was indeed not dead. He reappeared in an identity that Prince Ping could not accept.
Prince Ping was a little confused. Should he be happy or angry?
A quarter of an hour later, Prince Mengdu finally came out, wearing a new robe and scented with incense. The excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Su Qianqian quietly moved away from Mengdu.
"Madam Wuning, is the wooden box in your hand this?" The prince held up the porcelain bottle in his hand as if it were a treasure.
"This is a strange fruit. The porcelain bottle in your Highness's hand contains only a little juice of this fruit. There are two fruits in the wooden box."
Su Qianqian patted the wooden box.
"What does the wife of Wuning Marquis want to exchange?" Prince Mengdu's eyes lit up: "As long as Daliang has it, I will agree to it."
"Your Highness, I only want one thing. If you can get the escort to bring it back, I will give you these two fruits."
Su Qianqian handed the wooden box to Su Xing to put away.
Meng was getting anxious, like a treasure that he had been playing with for a long time and someone took it away again. He stared at the wooden box and was unwilling to move away:
"If Madam Wuning wants anything, just ask!"
"I just want a piece of calligraphy by General Jian Hong. Once you get it, just give it to the deputy envoy of the wedding envoy, and he will hand the wooden box to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she said goodbye with a smile. Meng Du vowed solemnly that he would get Jian Hong's calligraphy in exchange.
Three days later, Princess Zhaoning married in Daliang. The emperor specially allowed the imperial concubine to personally send her off to the city gate. Prince Jing and Zhou Jinghuai led a team of 3,000 to leave Xijing in a grand manner. Qin Hanjin and Qin San were also in the entourage.
It was already March at this time. On the fifth day of March, Duke Zhou and his family set out for exile in Hongzhou, two thousand miles away.
This place is close to the northern border, it is poor and cold, and no important official has ever been exiled there.
When Duke Zhou and his family left the city, no one saw them off. However, when they were six or seven miles away from Xijing City, more and more peddlers and hawkers joined them on the road.
These people were not like ordinary people who hid from the officials, especially the prisoners in shackles. Instead, they tried to get close to the officials. When they rested on the road, they shared the food and good wine they brought with them with the officials, and also gave some to the prisoners.
Duke Zhou quietly hid in a direction where the officials could not see him, took out the note from the steamed bun in his hand, read it quietly, put it away, lowered his head and sighed, taking big bites of the steamed bun.
March 20th was the Spring Examination this year. Qin Hanjue went to take the test. Su Qianqian prepared compressed biscuits for him, as well as soup and compound energy water in a thermos, and a warm goose down cotton jacket that could also be used as a quilt at night.
After the ninth day of the examination, most of the students looked pale, and some were even carried out. However, Qin Hanjue looked very relaxed.
"Sixth brother, did you go into the examination room and sleep? Why do you look so energetic?"
Qin Yuzhuo came to the examination room to pick up Qin Hanjue. He looked at Qin Hanjue's appearance and then at other students. He felt that Qin Hanjue must not have done very well in the exam.
"You answer the exam papers when you need to, and sleep when you need to sleep. It's no different from studying as usual, except that you can't go out for three days."
Qin Hanjue patted the robe on his body proudly: "Fortunately, the robe prepared by my third sister-in-law is very useful. I don't feel cold at night and sleep soundly. If it's hot during the day, I only need to wear a single robe."
"Third sister-in-law said that people who pass the college entrance examination are privileged, but this may not be the case after the exam. Your good days are over. No one in the mansion will indulge you in the future."
Qin Yuzhuo was very dissatisfied during this period. Su Qianqian took great care of Qin Hanjue and personally checked his food, drink, clothing and daily necessities. Anything that might cause Qin Hanjue discomfort was not allowed to be brought to Qin Hanjue.
Su Qianqian's inner thoughts were: [The college entrance exam is too hard, and the science exam is even harder. Although Xiaoliu will definitely get into high school, we can't be careless. The logistics work must be in place! 】
Qin Hanjue didn't believe it. His third sister-in-law took care of him in every possible way. He was quite enjoying this treatment recently. It must not be just because of the imperial examination, but because he was very important and his third sister-in-law looked at him differently!
After breaking out of the siege and returning to the mansion, Qin Hanjue went back to the yard to bathe and change clothes as usual, and had not noticed anything different at this time.
But after taking a bath, he sat down and waited for the servant to bring him the milk tea that his third sister-in-law had asked the cook to make, as well as the "pizza pancakes" that his third brother and sister-in-law had brought from their kitchen, but they were not served for a long time.
These were his favorite foods, so his third sister-in-law ordered that they should be prepared for Qin Hanjue every day in different ways. It had become a habit for him. The thing he regretted most in the examination room was that he could not eat these two things.
"Zhengxuan, Zhengxuan!" Qin Hanjue couldn't wait to call the servant: "Go ask why the milk tea and pizza pancakes haven't been delivered yet?"
"Sixth Young Master, I have already asked, and the Marquis's Kitchen said that if you want to eat in the future, you can cook it yourself in the Young Master's Kitchen. They will not cook it for you there."
Zheng Xuan came in with his head down and answered.
"Why? Who ordered this?" Qin Hanjue was no longer calm. Could it be that what Qin Yuzhuo said was true?
"I heard that the Marquis's wife ordered that the entire Marquis' Mansion will be at your disposal before the Sixth Young Master takes the imperial examination, and you will be at the disposal of the entire Marquis' Mansion after the examination. So no matter what the Young Master's requirements are, they must be met before the examination, but they can be rejected after the examination!"
In order to explain what he said, Zhengxuan wrote the two words in the air with his fingers, which had the same pronunciation but completely different meanings.
Qin Hanjue almost fainted from anger. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken the exam seriously and would have taken it for another three years! I didn’t expect to fall into Su Qianqian’s trap!
There is no choice but to accept the fact and return to the days of self-reliance.
The results were announced within three days, and Qin Hanjue won the first place as expected. Madam Qin was naturally very happy. She rewarded each official who came to announce the good news with a gold ingot, and made several baskets of wedding cakes and sent them to the street to distribute to passers-by.
On the tenth day of April, the palace examination was held. Emperor Gan De took the crown prince to test the new candidates. Emperor Gan De looked at the test papers brought in, and the crown prince selected six outstanding ones, including Qin Hanjue's.
After reading these articles, Emperor Gan De picked up his red pen and was about to write first place on Qin Hanjue's test paper, but after thinking about it, he changed it to third place. Qin Hanjue won the third place in the exam.
