“The results are announced!”
“The results are announced!!”
"Do you know who is this year's top scholar?"
"Who is it? Who is it??"
"It is the Prime Minister's younger brother, Xiao Family Fifth Brother! Xiao Qingran!!"
"Who are the runner-up and third place winners?"
"I know the runner-up! It's Wen Tingjun! They're the family that lived in the shabby hut at the far east! His mother and I have a good relationship!"
The people were talking about it.
The sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out.
The people were noisy, beating drums and gongs.
"The number one scholar is here!!"
A horse wrapped in a large red silk ribbon paraded through the streets.
Xiao Qingran, who was riding on horseback, was wearing a bright red robe with a big red flower on her chest and a red headband on her forehead.
This red dress makes Xiao Qingran look particularly beautiful and delicate, like a doll carved out of crystal and jade.
"What a handsome champion! Champion, you are not married yet, right? I have a beautiful little girl at home. Would you like to introduce her to me?"
"Top scholar! My niece is prettier than her daughter!"
The ladies pushed their daughters and nieces one after another.
Xiao Qingran pursed her pretty lips, pulled the reins with her big hands and stepped back several steps, staring at them with her pair of big, clear black eyes as if she were looking at bad guys.
"I have a fiancée named Chen Zhiyi!"
"I want to go home and marry Chen Zhiyi. Don't stop me, or I'll be angry."
The ladies were extremely disappointed, but they were still thinking about whether they could climb up the social ladder.
"The runner-up is here! Wow! The runner-up is so handsome too!!"
"Master Wen, you didn't become your sister's fiancée, did you?"
The ladies instantly shifted their target.
Wen Tingjun was wearing a green gown, a black hat, and a big red flower on his chest.
Wen Tingjun looks cool, gentle and approachable.
That's just how it looks.
As soon as Wen Tingjun opened his mouth, he sounded as cold as a giant thousands of miles away.
"I'm sorry, my sweetheart is called Chen Zhiyi. I took the imperial examination just to marry her. I hope you will all bless us."
The ladies: "Are there two Chen Zhiyi in the capital? Why are the wives of the No. 1 and No. 2 candidates both named Chen Zhiyi?"
Wen Tingjun and Xiao Qingran rode their horses one after the other to the Xiao Mansion.
On the way, when passing by the gate of Xie's house, he met Xiao Hechuan, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Sanlang.
Then, Xiao Qingran heard Xiao Sanlang say that Chen Zhiyi was missing.
Xiao Qingran got off the horse anxiously: "Why not? She sent me to the Imperial Examination Hall that day and told me to do well in the imperial examination! She also gave me a gift..."
"Old Five..." Xiao Hechuan didn't know how to explain.
Xiao Yan also lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Qingran went to find the third brother: "Third brother, where is Chen Zhiyi? Where is she? Why can't I see her? Why why why?"
Xiao Sanlang sat on the ground wiping his tears, crying like a child.
"Five days ago, I carried Shen Zhiyi back to the Xiao family from the Imperial Examination Hall, wanting to consummate my marriage with Shen Zhiyi..."
Xiao Sanlang told everything.
As soon as Xiao Sanlang finished speaking, he was punched by his fifth brother.
Xiao Qingran's eyes were red, he clenched his fists, and was very angry.
"Third brother, are you still human?"
"Brother, you deserve to die too!!"
"Second brother, go to hell!"
Xiao Qingran punched the three of them in the face.
So many things happened during these days when he was preparing for the imperial examination.
His dream was to pass the imperial examination and show it to Chen Zhiyi, to have Chen Zhiyi praise him, and to ask Chen Zhiyi to marry him...
All these dreams were shattered.
Xiao Hechuan and the other two let their fifth brother beat them without fighting back.
This matter has nothing to do with Lao Wu. It was indeed them who implicated Lao Wu, otherwise Chen Zhiyi would not have run away.
"Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master! The night before Miss Shen disappeared, she gave me something and asked me to hand it over to you in five days." When Caiyue learned that Xiao Qingran was coming, she immediately handed the thing to Xiao Qingran.
When Xiao Qingran opened it, she found that it was actually a red bracelet with a little golden monkey on it.
Xiao Qingran's nose turned red, and her eyes were also extremely red.
"Shen Zhiyi, I like your gift very much."
"Chen Zhiyi, you already knew that I would be the top scholar. Then you definitely wouldn't abandon me, right?"
Xiao Qingran put a red bracelet on herself and then wiped her eyes.
"She must be waiting for me in the mansion!" Xiao Qingran ran home to find Chen Zhiyi. Chen Zhiyi must be waiting for him at home for the results to be announced, and he didn't believe that Chen Zhiyi would abandon him.
Wen Tingjun was also very angry, his beautiful face turned red with anger, and for the first time he had the urge to fight with someone. But now is not the time to fight.
"Xiao Hechuan! Xiao Yan! You are such bastards!! How could the three of you do such a thing to Miss Shen!!"
“I thought you would treat Miss Shen well, so I didn’t dare to compete with you. If I knew that you lied to her and bullied her like this, I would definitely take her back to the Wen family!”
Especially Xiao Hechuan, he thought Xiao Hechuan was calm, opinionated, capable, and could take good care of Shen Zhiyi.
Wen Tingjun said word by word: “I, Wen Tingjun, will never give Miss Shen to you again!!”
"Miss Shen, wait for me!! I'm coming to find you!!"
…
"Chen Zhiyi, give me your hand..."
"Catch me, Shen Zhiyi..."
When Xiao Fuguang saw Chen Zhiyi being dragged down the hillside by Chu Xiyue, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed with a knife.
Xiao Fuguang pounced on Chen Zhiyi without thinking, and stretched out his big palm to grab Chen Zhiyi's hand.
"I caught you, Shen Zhiyi."
Xiao Fuguang held Chen Zhiyi's soft little hands, and his shattered soul returned to its place.
"I'll pull you up."
Xiao Fuguang took Shen Zhiyi's hands and pulled her up the hillside little by little. Finally, Shen Zhiyi climbed up and stood in front of him.
