Chapter 330 The Unmarried Boy
Zhou Shuren, ""
Nothing!
Seeing Zhou Shuren's expressionless face, Zhulan curled her lips, "You don't need to answer, I understand everything."
Zhou Shuren, ""
He didn't even want to answer, sad, what is Xueba afraid of most? boss!
In Wu Ming's carriage, the servant was very nervous. In order to relieve the tension, the servant poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the young master, "Young master, Master Zhou and Madam Zhou are very kind to you."
The boy had experienced too many calculations in the backyard of the mansion, and he was the least trustworthy, but he broke his notion at the Zhou family. Master Zhou and the young master are rivals. Not only did the Zhou family not frame him, they also took care of the young master in every possible way.
What he didn't expect, the Zhou family's mistress had thought about it. This time, the Zhou family's mistress was afraid that the son would suffer from the cold again. The carriage was tightly surrounded, and the cloak on the son's body was all newly made!
He was on guard for nothing!
Wu Ming held the teacup. Not only did he warm his hands and heart, but the Zhou family gave him the warmth he longed for most, and let him know that people's hearts are not all black but also good.
In this test, he performed better than in the rural test, relying on his aunt to take care of him, he will always remember this kindness in his heart.
Time passed little by little, and soon the first ray of sunshine sprinkled on the earth, and the sky finally dawned.
Zhulan drank a lot of ginger tea in her stomach. There was nothing she could do. The wind outside was very cold, and the temperature in March was not too high. The carriage was not very warm, and February, which was guarding outside the carriage, was frozen to the ground. Be active all the time!
The closer the time was to the release of the rankings, the more tormented the waiting people would be. Every year there is a set time for the release of the rankings. When the gong sounded, Zhulan concentrated and said, "The rankings are released."
Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand, "You wait in the car, the boss and I will go down and have a look."
Boss Zhou huddled in a corner like a quail. He actually wanted to stroll outside with Er Yue. Ever since he and Mrs. Li kept bumping into their parents, they didn't shy away from them. To be precise, they just pretended that they didn't exist. up!
It's a pity that his body is too delicate, and he can no longer stand the cold wind outside, so he can only bite the bullet and huddle in the carriage to avoid the cold.
Boss Zhou listened to his father's words,
Hastily got off the carriage.
Zhulan shook her head, "I want to go together too, I want to witness this glory with you."
Zhou Shuren, "OK."
It's a pity to witness that he became the second place!
Zhulan fastened her cloak and wrapped herself tightly, then got out of the carriage with Zhou Shuren, the two met Wu Ming, and went to the list to look at the list, good guy, the list is full of people, Zhulan is not tall, It was a little far away from the city wall, she couldn't see the names on the list clearly, she could only see the moving heads.
Zhulan is very speechless, she will try to publish the list, can the imperial court be more generous and write the name bigger? One hundred and fifty people are selected for each session, and the names of one hundred and fifty people are selected. Only two pieces of paper are written, and the paper is less than one foot long and half a foot wide. Zhulan seriously suspects that it is a bad taste.
The list is really crowded, the main force is the servants waiting for the servants, and the guards with strong backgrounds clear the way!
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren exchanged glances, they will have to wait for a while.
Fortunately, the number of candidates for each session is limited. After waiting for a while, those who failed to pass the exam left one after another. Those who passed the exam either shared the joy with their family and friends, or waited to see who the first member of the exam was!
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren arrived at the bottom of the list, confidently looking at the names on the top of the first piece of paper.
The young servant of Wu Ming's family was literate, and said excitedly, "My lord, you are Huiyuan."
Wu Ming released his clenched hands, turned sideways and said, "My nephew has lived up to the care of my uncle and aunt."
Bamboo orchid, ""
Actually you can live up to it, really!
When Zhou Shuren saw his name, it was just below Wu Ming. Except for Huiyuan who was the first, everyone else was a tribute. It really doesn't matter what the ranking is, what matters is the result after the palace examination.
Zhou Shuren smiled, "My nephew has passed the exam at a young age, so we must celebrate this time."
Wu Ming smiled, "My nephew also congratulates my uncle for winning the tribute."
The remaining tributes saw Wu Ming, and these people all had complicated expressions on their faces.
Because among these people, except for the younger Gongshi who can be reincarnated and cheated at birth, the others are all over 30 years old by themselves, and the oldest is about 60 years old!
Wu Ming won the prize at a young age. While he is envious and jealous, someone's brain is quick.
A forty-year-old tribute came forward, "Young master, is there a marriage? I have a daughter who is fourteen years old. She knows a thing or two about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I see that she is a perfect match for you!"
Once the first begins, there will be a second.
Zhulan watched Wu Ming being surrounded. Although Wu Ming was young and mature, he couldn't bear such enthusiasm, his face was flushed and he didn't know how to speak.
Zhou Shuren looked happy, he also wanted to vent his anger for being second in the exam a few times, hey, young man, where is he going?
Seeing that Wu Ming couldn't bear it any longer, Zhulan tugged Zhou Shuren's sleeve to signal to stop watching the show.
Zhou Shuren coughed and stepped forward, "Marriage requires the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Everyone values us. How about talking about it when the old lady comes to Beijing?"
Wu Ming exhaled, saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but the marriage is decided by my grandmother, please forgive me."
Zhou Shuren continued, "It's getting late, we still have to go one step ahead."
A tribute stopped him and said, "Please also leave the address, so I can visit in the future."
What a good son-in-law, you can't let him go like this.
Zhou Shuren smiled and left his address. These people are capable people who have made it this far. No one can predict what the future holds. Well, it is better to have many friends than many enemies.
When Zhulan and the others returned to the carriage, they all knew that Huiyuan was a young man, or an unmarried young man.
Boss Zhou was sitting in Wu Ming's carriage, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were in the same carriage, Zhulan pulled Zhou Shuren's beard, and whispered, "Our family can't stop this time, Wu Ming has become a favorite, I can see many The servants of the official family are all staring at Wu Ming, and tomorrow's invitation will definitely be softened."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "It's a trivial matter. It's scary to announce the results of the palace exam."
Zhulan's eyes were shining brightly, "There are scenes where the son-in-law is under the list. Will someone really catch the son-in-law when the palace exam is released?"
Zhou Shuren said, "There is no such thing in this dynasty, but it did exist in the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty had loose control over merchants, and merchants especially liked to tie up and arrest their sons-in-law. In this dynasty, some officials are optimistic about sons-in-law. Those who dare to join in the fun, so there will be no arrests under the list."
Zhulan was quite disappointed, but then she laughed again, "I looked around carefully just now, among the 150 people on the list, there are not many young ones, even if they are young, they are all married and engaged , it seems that Wu Ming is the only young boy who comes from a grassroots background!"
Zhou Shuren said silently, "Zhao Bo is not married either."
Zhulan, "I said that I seem to have forgotten something. We forgot to read Zhao Bo's name. I didn't seem to notice Zhao Bo just now."
She and Zhou Shuren just watched Wu Ming's excitement, and completely forgot about Zhao Bo.
Zhulan continued, "I only looked at the first and second positions, but didn't look at the latter ones. Have you seen them?"
Zhou Shuren, "No."
Zhulan was speechless, come on, neither of them paid attention to Zhao Bo.
