[Comprehensive] Hanjiang Snow 3

After Jiang Xue's major rectification this time, the Sheng Mansion immediately became much clearer.

After seeing Jiang Xuelei's tricks, the servant felt sorry for her. He had seen the fifth girl smiling and being very easy to talk to, but she didn't expect her temper to be soft.

It really is unbelievable.

With this idea in mind, they were more devoted to serving Jiang Xue, and they didn't dare to refute Jiang Xue's words.

Mrs. Wang is a thoughtful person, she thought it was inappropriate for Jiang Xue to make such a big move, but after the rectification, the servants are more dedicated than before, and she is happy again.

Years passed, and as Chun Wei approached day by day, the atmosphere in the mansion also became serious because there were two examinees in the family, and everything had to make way for Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng's imperial examinations.

Absolutely no one is allowed to disturb their study.

Even talking a little loudly in the yard, if Mrs. Wang heard her, she would have to be scolded a lot.

Jiang Xue didn't worry too much. The cheap old brother Sheng Changbai was a good reader, and he had read his articles. If the performance of the imperial examination was stable and there were no accidents, he was stable.

It's just that Mrs. Wang talked about her careless 'attitude' a lot, but she didn't take it seriously.But thinking that Sheng Changbai treated him well, he also went to the temple outside the city and begged him for a first-ranked scholar. He also made knee pads and sheaths for him to use in the imperial examination.

Now that Sheng Changbai has it, she won't forget about Qi Heng's side, anyway, it's just a matter of convenience.

This is a good opportunity for her to increase her favorability, how can she give up.

Duke of Qi

Because of the imperial examination, the Sheng family asked Zhuang Xuejiao to stop the girls' classes and only concentrate on teaching them. Although it was a good intention, Qi Heng had never seen Jiang Xue again after the Chinese New Year, which made him feel sad. A lot of resentment was born.

It's just that the imperial examination is about to take place, and Princess Pingning's focus on Qi Heng's studies is even tighter. He can't find any good time to find Jiang Xue, and only occasionally once or twice uses the excuse of thanking the Sheng family. A few girls from the Sheng family sent some things.

But he didn't dare to be too diligent, for fear of being seen by others, he didn't care, if it caused Jiang Xue to bear a private name.

"Young Master, Young Master." Buwei hurried over happily carrying a sandalwood box.

Qi Heng was feeling irritable in his heart, so the tone of his mouth was naturally not very good: "What's the matter?"

Buwei said: "My lord, this is sent by the fifth girl."

Hearing this, Qi Heng's eyes lit up more than one wadu in an instant, and his movements were a little eager to never take the box in his hand.When I opened it, I saw a lot of things inside, including pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but the most conspicuous ones were a pair of exquisite knee pads with a small ingot embroidered on them, which can be said to have obvious meanings.

I couldn't help showing a smirk, and murmured: "It's really great, fifth sister has me in her heart."

He was happy for his young master, and couldn't help joking: "Young master, you don't have to frown to study now."

Qi Heng is only happy now, so he has no time to care about it.

Because of this, Qi Heng also had a little more motivation when he was reviewing his homework next time, thinking that he would let his mother go to the Sheng family to propose a marriage after he was awarded a Jinshi.

Princess Pingning saw Qi Heng's performance in his response, and doubts arose in his heart. A few days ago, his son was still a little out of spirits. Why did he get better after one night?

Princess Pingning grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has a plan. She is the most shrewd, so she immediately sent someone to find out what happened to Qi Heng.Soon he knew what was going on, Princess Pingning's first reaction was to get angry, and then he was about to get up and go to Qi Heng's yard to ask for clarification, but was held back by Duke Qi.

"What are you doing? Let me go." Princess Pingning said displeased.

Qi Guogong looked at Princess Pingning and said: "Now is the critical time for Yuanruo's imperial examination. If you go there now, you will only make things worse and distract him. If you delay Yuanruo's imperial examination, you will regret it."

Princess Pingning didn't move immediately when she heard this, but her face was very ugly: "I thought the Sheng family was good, and the old lady Sheng came from the Yongyi Hou's house. The granddaughter who came out did such a thing of giving and receiving in private." Apparently, she had already transferred all her anger to Jiang Xue.

"Your words are too harsh. You and I have met the girls of the Sheng family. They are all good. They are not as bad as you said." Qi Guogong looked at Princess Pingning in disbelief. agreed.

Princess Pingning's anger remained unabated: "It's true that such a thing will happen?"

Qi Guogong said: "... I think this matter is still on Yuan Ruo's body. If it wasn't his intention, this matter would not have happened."

Princess Pingning is clear in her heart, but people's hearts are always biased. She doesn't think her son is bad, but only thinks that the daughter of the Sheng family is wrong. She glared at Qi Guogong and said fiercely: "Which side are you from?" ?”

"Okay, the matter is not serious now, and maybe you and I are wrong." Qi Guogong said comfortingly.

Princess Pingning didn't believe this. In her opinion, her son was so good that even a princess was worthy of him. The girl from the Sheng family didn't like it. She was just the daughter of a fifth-rank official. I can't see it.

It seemed that Yuan Ruo had to find a time to visit Sheng's house and solve this matter from the root.

……

The triennial Spring Festival begins.

Before dawn, the gate of the Gongyuan was already crowded with people. Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng's imperial examinations were a big event. Except for Mrs. Sheng, almost the whole family was dispatched.

Mrs. Wang even pulled Sheng Changbai all the way, telling those words again and again.

Until Sheng Changbai entered the Gongyuan safely, she still stood there for a while, reluctant to go back, but Jiang Xue said: "Mother, let's go back."

She only took three steps and returned home with great reluctance.

The nine days of Chunwei passed quickly.

When Sheng Changbai came out of the tribute courtyard, his footsteps were staggering, and his face was very pale. Mrs. Wang felt distressed when she saw it, so she immediately asked the servant to help her.

Back at the mansion, Sheng Changbai took a shower and then fell asleep.

Mrs. Wang was guarded every step of the way, and she asked the kitchen to cook some light food and keep it warm on the stove.

When Sheng Changbai woke up, it was already the next day. Sheng Hong took the lead in asking Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Changbai to come over and asked them how they were answering the questions.Let them write the content silently.

Sheng Changbai wrote it down obediently. Sheng Hong read it and felt that there was some merit in it, but Sheng Changfeng didn't write it down. He just said that he answered very well so that Sheng Hong should not worry, he will definitely win.With such a confident attitude like him, Sheng Hong was not optimistic. Sheng Changfeng was always in the middle of the exam. Originally, he wanted to suppress Sheng Changfeng for another three years, but he himself refused to die. Even Lin Xiaoniang was crying and making noise.

Seeing his insistence, Sheng Hong couldn't help it either. Sheng Changfeng was young anyway, and he took part in this class just to accumulate experience, and besides, God opened his eyes, and he won it all at once.

After the imperial examination, the time to wait for the results to be released was a bit difficult, especially for Mrs. Wang, who was really impatient.

But fortunately, it will be the release day soon.

Mrs. Wang and Sheng Hong did not go, only Sheng Changbai brought a few servants, and Jiang Xue and Sheng Minglan went to watch the announcement.As for Sheng Molan, she came, but she didn't go the same way as them. She was with Lin Xiaoniang and Sheng Changfeng.

The place where the list was released was on a wall not far from the Gongyuan, and it was already full of people.

In addition to those who came to see the list, there were also many merchants waiting for the list to catch their sons-in-law.

The hustle and bustle is louder than ever.

Even though there was a servant girl leading the way, Jiang Xue and Sheng Minglan managed to squeeze in and looked up.Soon, I saw Sheng Changbai's name on the No.12 position. I checked my hometown, and I was sure that it was my second brother.

"I won, second brother, hurry up, you won, No. 13." Jiang Xue raised her voice and shouted.

Sheng Changbai finally squeezed in. Hearing Jiang Xue's words, he looked up and saw his name, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "Ancestor bless you."

"What kind of ancestor's blessing, it's second brother, you are talented and capable." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

Sheng Minglan also said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second elder brother who won the laurel from Toad Palace."

Sheng Changbai smiled and said, "Thank you, Sixth Sister."

Sheng Minglan said, "Second elder brother, fifth elder sister, should I go home quickly to announce the good news to my grandmother and my eldest daughter's father?"

"En, that's not bad." Jiang Xue saw that many people around her looked at Sheng Changbai differently, and nodded, "Second brother, let's go back."

Sheng Changbai was about to nod when someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

"This son is really young and talented, why don't I marry my daughter to you."

"My daughter is good, let's marry my daughter."

With the beginning, other people also gathered around one after another, and you and I said basically the same thing.

Sheng Changbai had seen this battle at his place, and was dragged by others, and he was quite at a loss for a while.

"What are you still doing here? Pull them away quickly." Jiang Xue turned her head and said to the servant girls around her.

It was also the first time for the servant girl to experience this kind of thing. He only reacted when he heard Jiang Xue's words, and hurried forward.With great difficulty, those people were pulled away and Sheng Changbai was rescued.

Just as the group was about to return home, they bumped into Qi's carriage.

Jiang Xue and Sheng Minglan are both boudoir girls, and there are many people in the house, so it's not easy to get close. Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng only said a few words, then got up and went back.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Qi Heng's slightly disappointed expression, Jiang Xue also knew that most of his results in the imperial examination this time were missed.

In fact, Jiang Xue had already prepared for this result. She had read Qi Heng's article, and he had some talents.It's just that he was born in a wealthy family, and he hasn't experienced any hardships since he was a child, so the articles he wrote are a bit flashy. Jiang Xue once told him, but his own experience cannot be changed overnight.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xue raised the curtain of the car and comforted her with words.

Mrs. Wang saw the carriage from a distance, so she couldn't wait to throw off Mama Liu's hand, walked down quickly, hugged Sheng Changbai, and said very happily: "I have a son, you really did it for me." Mother, let me live up to you, and I will give birth to you and support you."

"Mother."

Although Sheng Hong was putting on airs, the corners of his mouth could not be deceived, he said: "Bai'er, you have honored the lintel of the Sheng family."

Sheng Changbai hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted: "Finally lived up to my father's expectations."

"What are you talking about." Mrs. Wang glared at Sheng Hong before she said to Sheng Changbai, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, mother told you that you are the best."

"Okay, go in quickly, tell your grandmother the news, and make her happy too." Sheng Hong ignored Mrs. Wang, but smiled.

"Yes."

Sheng Changbai was selected as a Jinshi, and Mrs. Wang was really overjoyed. She held Sheng Changbai's hand and kept talking while walking, and asked people to hold a wedding banquet to thank teachers, set off firecrackers, and gave away porridge and scattered money to celebrate.

Since Sheng Hong came to Bianjing, he has always behaved cautiously, not allowing his family to publicize it. Hearing Mrs. Wang's words today, it is rare that he did not refute.

We arrived at Mrs. Sheng's yard.

Mrs. Sheng refuted Mrs. Wang's proposal to celebrate, and the reason was very simple.They were all studying together in the Sheng family, but Qi Heng and Gu Tingye were not selected, and only Sheng Changbai was selected. They celebrated with great fanfare and let Qi Guogong and his wife and Lord Gu know that they were dissatisfied.

Sheng Hong was so happy today, he didn't expect for a while, when Old Madam Sheng called her, he immediately understood, and hurriedly opened his mouth to tell all the servants who went to buy and do errands to come back.

Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied and said: "Living in the capital is so aggrieved. Such a big happy event can't even be celebrated. It's not as good as living in Yangzhou."

"look at you……"

"It's okay, ma'am, it's the same if we close the door to celebrate. I've already prepared a congratulatory gift for my second brother here, and I'm just waiting for my second brother to win the laurel from Toad Palace." Sheng Minglan said with a smile immediately.

Sheng Hong also said, "That's right, Liu Yatou is right."

Jiang Xue glanced at Sheng Minglan, and persuaded: "Mother, the sixth younger sister is right. Even if you don't celebrate the second brother, you won. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Mother just waits to enjoy the blessing of the second brother in the future."

After all, it was a happy event, Mrs. Wang only struggled for a moment, and then let go.

Soon another thing came to mind, which was Sheng Changbai's marriage.

Speaking of which, Sheng Changbai has also reached the age of marriage this year. If Sheng Hong hadn't pressured him to wait for his imperial examination before discussing the marriage, she would have looked the same.

Now that Jinshi has also been awarded, she thinks that good things will come in pairs, and she can take advantage of this to talk about marriage.
