At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

The Zheng family's second baby girl was born suddenly as everyone expected. Although it caught people off guard, it did not affect their joy at all.

Jinbao loved this younger sister very much and had already thought of a name for her long ago - Zheng Jintian.

The word "Jin" implies a flourishing life; "Tian" means quiet and beautiful. Each word represents her expectation for the future.

The word "Tian" has the same pronunciation as "Sweet", so the nickname was Tiantian. The whole family applauded and agreed unanimously.

Three days later, it was the day when the results of the palace examination were announced. The Zheng family prepared firecrackers and waited at the door early in the morning.

"Great joy, great joy! Congratulations to the young master of the Zheng family for being the top scorer in the imperial examination. We are here to report the good news."

As a shrill voice was heard, a familiar face came into view. The person who came to announce the good news was an acquaintance, none other than Eunuch Liu who had gone to Houyan Village to announce the imperial decree many years ago.

The Zheng family had a very deep impression of him. After all, Jinbao was young and curious at that time. He even learned how to do the orchid finger gesture from him for several days.

"Eunuch Liu, why are you here in person? Please come in, please come in!" Old Man Zheng smiled and personally welcomed the man into the mansion, then ordered: "Boss, set off the firecrackers."

"Okay!" Boss Zheng lit the firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers symbolizing celebration rang out, and neighbors nearby came to congratulate.

Xiaoxiang and a few of his brothers happily gave small change, also known as wedding money, to people who came to congratulate them.

In the guest hall, during the conversation, everyone learned from Eunuch Liu that Xiaowu was the top scorer, Jingwen was the third place winner this year, and the second place winner was a poor scholar.

These are the top three in the palace examination that everyone is looking forward to.

While a few people were chatting, Eunuch Liu learned that the Zheng family had a new granddaughter. He was overjoyed and quickly took out a peace locket from his arms.

"We found out too late and didn't have time to make careful preparations. I'm really sorry. This is also our family's gift. I hope the little girl will be safe and sound in the future."

"Eunuch Liu, you are so polite. You are giving us enough face by coming here in person today." Old Man Zheng was grateful and took the peace locket solemnly. "I will accept this gift on behalf of my granddaughter. We will keep your kindness in mind."

Old Man Zheng treated him as an old acquaintance and was full of kindness and gratitude.

What the Zheng family didn't know was that the amiable eunuch Liu in front of them was no longer the unknown little eunuch a few years ago.

In the past few years, with his intelligence, quick wit, hard work and the blessing from Jinbao, he has long since become the chief eunuch in the palace.

He came to the Zheng family to announce the good news specifically because he asked the emperor for it, in order to express his gratitude for the blessing that Jinbao had given him. Otherwise, he would have lost his life long ago and would not have achieved what he has today.

Inside the house, everyone sat together and talked happily. No one knew the current status of Eunuch Liu in the palace, but this did not prevent the Zheng family from treating him sincerely, which made him feel warm in his heart and closer to the Zheng family.

"Here he comes! Here he comes! The number one scholar is here!"

At this time, there was a commotion outside the palace, accompanied by the sound of gongs.

Without waiting for others to react, Xiaolin and Jinbao ran out first.

This is a parade of the top scholar. The top scholar is my uncle, and the third scholar is also my brother. How can I not run out to join in the fun?

After the others realized what was happening, they quickly followed and walked out of the mansion.

I saw a long team coming from the other end of the street, led by two yamen runners, who were holding gongs in their hands and beating them as they walked.

Next came the top scholar, Xiaowu, riding on a tall horse.

At this time, he was wearing a bright red robe for the top scholar, and a black belt with a python pattern, which made his waist look particularly slender and his figure tall and handsome. In particular, the top scholar hat on his head, with the golden hairpin flower, was particularly eye-catching.

The new runner-up followed closely behind. Although he looked ordinary, his eyes showed confidence and determination, and his whole body exuded a tenacious temperament.

The next one is the third place winner Jingwen. Among the three, his appearance is undoubtedly the most outstanding. The red robe makes his face look like jade and he looks gentle and elegant. People can't take their eyes away after just one look.

The people on both sides of the street were all shouting and celebrating excitedly, and from time to time little girls threw handkerchiefs and sachets at the three people, trying to attract their attention.

On the bustling street, Jinbao was surrounded by members of the Zheng family, her eyes fixed on the two people in the parade.

"My uncle and brother are so awesome!" She stared with eyes wide open, without blinking, with pride written all over her face.

It’s a pity that my younger sister is still too young and cannot be brought out to watch with us. After they finish parading around the streets, I will make sure to let them turn around a few more times in front of my younger sister.

Xiao Lin didn't know what Jin Bao was thinking and was filled with envy. "When I become a general in the future, I will definitely be more powerful than them."

He promised solemnly, his tone full of determination.

"Yes, I support you. When you become a general and come back victorious, we will welcome you together." Although Jinbao did not shift his gaze, he still gave him verbal support.

Now Xiao Lin was even more confident, and he had already begun to imagine himself wearing armor and riding a tall horse in a parade.

Zheng Laosan sighed, "Our family has been so happy these days. I guess it won't be long before we have another wedding."

"That's right. Xiaowu has now won the first place in the imperial examination, so it's time to arrange his marriage with Yuyan."

Zhou nodded repeatedly. She looked at her youngest son with great pride, and felt even happier when she thought about his marriage.

Huang Jin, who was fanning himself and smiling, stopped suddenly when he heard the conversation between the two.

He quietly approached Zhou, bent over and whispered, "Grandma, can you also consider my marriage?"

Zhou's face was full of curiosity. "Oh? Which girl do you like? Tell me about it."

Normally this guy seems to be a bit out of touch, but I didn't expect that he would have a lover so soon.

Huang Jin did not answer directly, but opened his folding fan to cover his face, looking intently at the figure standing in front of Jin Bao.

Zhou followed his gaze and saw the smiling face of her lovely granddaughter.

She was so scared that her face changed immediately, "No, Jinbao is still young."

The angry voice attracted the attention of Zheng's family. Just as they were about to ask what was going on, Huang Jin smiled and dismissed them.

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys keep watching, I want to talk to Grandma Zheng about something."

After saying that, he quickly pulled Zhou aside, wiped the sweat off his head, and whispered, "Grandma, you misunderstood. I like Sister Wuxin."

He was really scared. If other people in the Zheng family misunderstood him, he would definitely be beaten up.

Zhou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said. She smiled and hit him, "You little bastard, you like that girl Wuxin. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me."

Huang Jin patted his chest and thought: Oh my god, who are we trying to scare?
