But unlike previous years, those who failed the exam this year seemed to be energized.
They were sad for a while, then they began to cheer up and immediately returned to the inn. As soon as they got home, they took out their books and started reading.
Wu Weian accepted the comfort and admiration of many people, wiped away his tears, and walked step by step towards Ji Yunxi who came out of Fumanlou.
Wu Weian looked at her affectionately: "Yun Niang, I did it."
Ji Yunxi calmly accepted the gazes from all directions, and nodded slightly: "I heard you, don't slack off, there is still the palace examination."
Wu Wei'an nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Yunniang, I will definitely win the first prize and marry you in a grand ceremony."
The two exchanged a few words in front of everyone and then left.
This day and this scene were recorded and became a story that has been passed down through the ages.
-
Three carriages were parked outside.
Two cars came from the Ji family and one came from the Wu family.
Ji Yunxi got into her car first, and Ji Mingyan subconsciously followed.
He is still very excited and has a lot to say to his third sister.
Wu Wei'an finally stopped him and whispered, "Sixth Brother."
The more Ji Mingyan looked at his brother-in-law, the more he liked him. "What's the matter?"
Wu Weian felt a little embarrassed: "I want to stay with Yunniang for a while."
Ji Mingyan immediately understood: "I forgot, I forgot. You must have a lot to say to Third Sister now!"
Just like him, he has a lot to say to his third sister, not to mention his brother-in-law!
Ji Mingyan was very considerate and got on Ji Mingshuang's carriage.
As soon as he went up, he threw Ji Mingshuang into his arms and desperately reached out to rub Ji Mingshuang's head: "Mingshuang, Mingshuang, Sixth Brother knew you were great, and you really didn't let Sixth Brother down, hahaha! From now on, I will be the brother of the top scholar!"
Ji Mingshuang was furious: "Ji Mingyan! Get away!"
The two brothers quarreled.
Wu Weining ranked 38th this time, which is also very good for him.
He hurried home to tell his mother and sisters the good news.
Wu Weian climbed into the carriage and lowered the curtain to block out the surrounding gazes.
He leaned comfortably on the soft cushions: "I like your sixth brother very much."
Ji Yunxi took out a small can of tea leaves from a secret compartment nearby and poured it into the teapot: "Oh?"
Wu Wei'an thought about the scene just now: "With your sixth brother here, we can get twice the result with half the effort."
Ji Yunxi took the boiled water and slowly poured it into the teapot, filling the air with the fragrance of tea.
She hummed, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and handed one of the cups to him personally.
Wu Wei'an took it and said, "Is third place only worth a cup of tea?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and felt that this man was the best at taking advantage of others and then acting cute: "You don't have to drink."
Wu Wei'an smiled, took a sip, and said, "Good tea, but you don't know how to make tea, what a pity."
Ji Yunxi really doesn’t know how to make tea, she only knows how to put tea leaves in and pour water.
But so what? She blew away the hot air gently: "It's not a pity, I have no shortage of good tea."
Wu Weian had nothing to say and could only shut up.
Yes, his wife is rich enough to take a bath with good tea leaves.
He overstepped his bounds.
The carriage first sent Ji Yunxi back to the Ji Mansion, and then sent Wu Weian back to the Wu family.
But when they were almost at Wu's house, Wu Weian squatted in front of the secret compartment where the rouge was kept and fiddled with it for a long time.
When the carriage returned to the Ji Mansion again, Ji Yunxi's maid came to pack up.
This maid has recently taken over the job of packing the carriage.
As she was tidying up, she felt something was wrong.
First, the ladies usually won't finish all the tea, usually more than half will be left;
2. The young lady would not finish eating all the fruits, pastries and melons, and usually leave more than half.
But now, the teapot is empty.
The fruits and pastries were also gone.
Although the maid was a little surprised, she still packed them all up.
Then she opened the secret compartments one by one to check whether everything was complete. If anything was missing, she would replace it in time.
As a result, when she opened the secret compartment filled with the lady's rouge and powder box, she was shocked.
Because that secret compartment is empty.
There was nothing inside, including the lady's favorite hand mirror with feathered figures!
Chapter 33 He Wu Weian loves Ji Yunxi so much
The rankings of the Spring Examination were announced at 9:00 am. Not long after, almost everyone in the capital knew that Ji Mingshuang had taken the top spot and Wu Weian had come in third.
The scene of Wu Weian covering his face and crying in public was even more vividly described by everyone.
Even his self-described experience of sleeping for an hour a day while preparing for the Spring Examination had turned into studying hard all night long, and he would only take a nap when he could no longer hold on.
The Spring Examination came to an end, and Ji Mingxi rarely went home for lunch.
Today's lunch at the Ji Mansion was very sumptuous, all to celebrate Ji Mingshuang's good results.
After lunch, the four brothers and sisters sat on the beauty couch in the study to rest and chat.
Ji Mingyan held his chin with both hands and said regretfully: "We should have invited my brother-in-law and his younger brother to stay for dinner."
Ji Mingxi drank his tea without hesitation and sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that Wei'an actually ranked third in the exam."
Ji Mingshuang still couldn't figure it out, and even offered an explanation he didn't believe himself: "How did he pass the exam? Brother, could it be that the adults in the Hanlin Academy made a mistake?"
Hearing this, Ji Mingyan sat up straight and began to teach his younger brother a lesson.
After all, he is the youngest in the family except Ji Mingshuang and Ji Yunxi.
As for the third sister, Ji Mingyan was never good at disciplining her, so that left only Ji Mingshuang. So whenever there was an opportunity to discipline his younger brother, Ji Mingyan would never miss it.
"Mingshuang, how could you think like that!" Ji Mingyan said earnestly, "You were here this morning, didn't you hear what your brother-in-law said? He's studied so hard all these years, isn't it normal for him to have such good grades? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Mingshuang, but if you had worked half as hard as your brother-in-law, you could have taken the imperial examination at the age of ten and become the top scorer!"
