Chapter 402: A blessing in disguise.
"Why isn't she a little sister? Abbot Qingyun must have misjudged her. She should be a little sister like Chu Chu."
As soon as Yan Yuge said this, he was slapped by Duke Shun: "You talk a lot, but my sister didn't say anything! How can you speak?"
But he looked at the daughter next to him with a look of disbelief, his eyes full of expectation: "Chu Chu, I like my little sister just like you, right?"
Yan Yuzhe opened his mouth and teased his father: "I know that dad actually likes my little sister. It is obviously Sima Zhao's heart."
But everyone's eyes were on Chu Chu and all their hopes were placed on her.
Chu Chu stared at her mother's belly and said, "Abbot Qingyun is right. Chu Chu also likes her little brother, as long as he doesn't look like him."
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this. Only the old lady was the happiest. After all, the old man had different thoughts. She would like more granddaughters, but the previous generation of Duke Shun's family had very few heirs. She would definitely have more grandsons. better.
"Good son, good son. After three sons, there will be three daughters-in-law. They are no different from daughters. From now on, the family will be lively."
"Yes, several younger sisters are still competing with Chu Chu for favor!" Even the eldest brother said so.
Only Yan Yuge was angry and offended. He liked Chu Chu so much, but why did they seem to be at odds with each other? Chu Chu always angered him with her words: What does it mean to not act like a little brother?
"Brother, don't be angry. My little brother is not like you or my brother. He is most like my father!" He was comforted by his cunning sister again.
"Really, it's okay as long as he doesn't look like big brother."
As soon as he said the words, he was hit on the head by his elder brother again, but it didn't hurt at all, but his psychological balance was restored.
Like dad, grandma said that Shun Guogong was very naughty when he was a child, which is not something that can make people worry. In the future, if his younger brother will support him, he will not be compared with him all the time.
There was endless laughter and laughter at the dinner table, and everyone had expectations in their hearts.
"Tomorrow, I will ask Dr. Liu to take Madam's pulse."
"Need not."
"Need not."
"Need not."
"Need not."
The whole family almost spoke in unison, and finally the old lady made the final decision: "I just believe in Chu Chu, and there is no need to read anything else."
"Yes, Fu Bao's mother and second aunt were all seen by Fu Bao back then. They could see clearly. They could even see how naughty they were in their stomachs and how their intestines were wrapped around their necks. Now they are all solid! No one wants to see them. After seeing it, just keep an eye on the Fubao Gang, you can rest assured."
Grandma Yan's words made them firmly believe in Chu Chu, and they were sure that they would have a younger brother in eight months.
The eighth day of May
Chu Chu slept in Chu Pavilion at night. Before going to bed, she checked her fourth uncle and her sister-in-law from beginning to end. She went to take the exam again early in the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month. She kept staring at their heads and only put them in when they saw white clouds. .
May 12
Chu Chu went out from Shunguo Duke's Mansion to take the exam, but only saw her fourth uncle and sister-in-law from a distance.
May 15th
Chu Chu forgot to get up and didn't rush to Gongyuan. If she wanted to go, her fourth uncle and sister-in-law would also come in.
The rankings were opened on the eighth day of June, and Chu Pavilion was decorated with lanterns and decorations again.
Yan Yongning ranked first in the high school examination, and Chen Jichang ranked 89th in the high school.
Three days later, on June 11, three hundred newly promoted Gongsheng students entered the palace to take part in the palace examination.
When you didn't tell about the cancellation on the day
Hall of Supreme Harmony
The emperor personally announced
Lu Yunting of Xiangzhou County, the new top scholar
Second place: Zhao Zixiang from Qingzhou County
Yan Yongning, Taohua Village, Daqiao Town, Qingliu County, Jingcheng City
When the first three papers were handed to the emperor, Yan Yongning was in the first place. The old emperor only read the first few lines. He saw that the beginning of the paper was about the suffering of the people, and he felt unhappy and did not continue reading.
Then he pulled up the third paper. At first glance, the opening chapter was about the prosperous dynasty, praising the great achievements of the current emperor. He was immediately overjoyed and immediately selected the number one scholar.
I didn't bother to read the second paper. I raised my head and asked the three top students to come forward.
He pointed directly at Yan Yongning, who was slender and most delicate in appearance, and asked, "Where is this disciple from?"
Yan Yongning quickly bowed forward and kowtowed: "My disciple, Yan Yongning, is from Qingliu County in Shengjing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the word "Third Prize" was written on the paper, and the other one was naturally ranked second.
The top three in the general examination were all knocked down by the dim-sighted old emperor, so Yan Yongning was fixed in third place.
Chen Jichang's interview score improved another twenty places, ranking 69th.
When Eleven and Zimo, who were guarding outside the palace, received the news that they were leaving the palace, they immediately rushed to Yanyu Restaurant, where tables had been set up in advance.
Immediately after the rankings are released, the top picks parade through the streets, and the distribution of ranking posts usually begins the next day.
I heard that it was just the first pick, which was a bit different from everyone's psychological expectations, and everyone was a little disappointed.
"It's better to be ranked No. 1 than No. 1 overall pick."
Knowing from what Chu Chu said last year that his son would not win the top prize, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan were very happy.
Grandma Yan and Grandma Chen hurriedly greeted us outside the door: "I'm so happy. Let's set off firecrackers quickly and greet the guests. We'll start the banquet when a few adults arrive."
Grandma Chen had already arrived in Beijing the day before, and she also came with Yuanbao, Sanlang, Yaya and a bunch of other children. Because Yan Yongning won the Huiyuan, the news of Zimo Feige's letter was returned quickly, and Yan's scholarly reputation The academy had a holiday early, so naturally we met again.
In addition to the family members from Taohua Village, many relatives and friends came with us this time.
Old Chen's family might have been too embarrassed to come because of Chen Sanlie's kidnapping of Fu Bao. They just had someone pass the message along with generous gifts, saying that they would have a feast when they returned to their hometown after high school.
The village chief and clan elders of Taohua Village are also here. They were all invited to attend the Yan Mansion's new house banquet. They were all placed in the "Yan Mansion" in the west of the city last night. All renovations there have been completed, and the day of moving into the house is also here. It is scheduled to be on the third day after the ranking is opened.
Today, all the private rooms on the second floor of Yanyu Restaurant in the west of the city on the main street have been booked by the Yan family. One is to celebrate the high school, and the other is that the children were noisy yesterday and said they wanted to watch the No. 1 pick in the street. This is the best location. The No. 1 pick in the past years The only way to go on parade is downstairs.
Knowing that his closed disciple only got the third best, he felt unwilling to do so.
Yan Zheqing grabbed Mr. Lan Chuan, who was a little disappointed: "Let's go in and have a drink."
After that, he said in a voice that only Mr. Lan Chuan could hear: "Prince Chun and Duke Shun said that it is best not to show up at this time."
Mr. Lan Chuan woke up and immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, it's a blessing in disguise. It's just that Yongning's knowledge is a disadvantage."
"Mr. Lan Chuan's words are wrong. At most, they are just a pearl covered in dust. Where did the lost horse come from?"
"Hahaha"
"Come on, let's have a few drinks first. When Duke Shun and the others come, we'll ask the two new disciples to accompany them. Then you won't have to drink a few drinks."
"Okay, I'm happy today, you and my wife will also have a few drinks!"
"We're not just going to have a few drinks. In the next few days, Mr. Yan's family will move into a new house. You will definitely have to go there. The day after tomorrow, I, the old lady and Yongning will have to go to your house..."
"Okay, okay, I also have some jars of good wine. Let us have a few drinks when the time comes."
Mr. Lan Chuan didn't even think about why the three of them came to their home. He just felt that he was purely happy and it was appropriate to come to express his gratitude to his teacher.
Anyway, he has a lot of good wine, so he will naturally have a good meal when he goes.
