“Big Brother All You became the top scorer?”
Ah Yu didn’t expect this day to really come so quickly.
“You’re the top scholar’s wife!” As Hua Rou spoke, she changed her words. “Speaking of which, 1 should call him Lord Consort.”
In Great Chang, the Village Lord’s spouse was called Lord Consort.
Ah Yu laughed. “Anything is fine.”
Towards this title of Village Lord Yu, from Old Madam Wang to Little Lamb at home, they actually did not take it seriously.
However, to outsiders, this was proof that their family had risen to become nobles. No one dared to underestimate the Wang Family, especially Ah Yu.
Although compared to the Duke Yong Manor, the identity of a Village Lord still seemed to be insufficient, if she married the Young Lord of the Duke Yong Manor, even if he’s now the top scholar, the Young Lord would definitely not be seen as having suffered a disadvantage by marrying her.
This was also Old Madam Wang’s initial plan.
Ah Yu could marry into a rich family, but she could not be looked down upon, not even by outsiders.
“Hey, they’re out. They’re all out!” Everyone shouted. As expected, the examinees walked out one after another.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAh Yu stuck her head out and saw Wang Erlang first. “Second Brother, Second Brother, I’m here!”
Wang Erlang hurriedly pushed the other examinees aside and arrived beside Ah Yu. He grabbed Ah Yu’s arm and walked out. “Why are you here? There are many people here. Don’t get squashed. Let’s go back and talk.”
Seeing Hua Rou, Wang Erlang only bowed and did not say anything. Hua Rou simply returned the greeting.
After taking a few steps, he heard the servants of the Wang Family shouting, “Young Master Zifeng, Village Lord Yu, come here.”
Ah Yu turned to Hua Rou and said, “Sister-in-law Hua Rou, I’ll send an invitation to your residence later. You have to come!”
In the past few days, Hua Rou and All Yu had been meeting in the Astrology Divination Bureau. They did not go to the residences of the two families, but the two families had already heard of each other.
Hua Rou cupped her fists. “Definitely.”
Even if it was not for Ah Yu, as long as Murong Run was in the city, their Wang Family would send them an invitation.
“Where’s Third Brother and Second Uncle? Are they not out yet?” Ah Yu stuck her head out and couldn’t see the other two.
Qin Huai was participating in the palace examination, so he naturally didn’t come out immediately. He was probably still talking to the Emperor in the inner palace.
“Second Uncle was ranked among the second grade of the provincial examination and will join the palace examination. As for Third Brother, 1 haven’t seen him yet,” Wang Erlang said.
Both he and Wang Sanlang participated in the imperial examination as a way to get accustomed to it beforehand. The imperial examination was undoubtedly much more difficult than the provincial examination, and the topics covered national policies and state affairs, which were highly profound. According to Wang Erlang and Wang Sanlang’s current level of understanding, it was challenging for them to tackle the questions.
He could only follow his teacher’s guidance and answer most of the questions.
Their tutor, being a failed imperial scholar himself, couldn’t exactly guide them to pass the imperial examination. Once this matter was settled, they would have to find another academy in Wanning City to continue their studies. “Second Uncle was ranked among the second grade? Second Uncle is really amazing!” Ah Yu was really surprised because Meatbail did not tell her.
It was not easy to stand out among so many candidates, but Wang Chuangui did it.
Moreover, Wang Chuangui is almost 40 years old now. If he couldn’t pass again, he wouldn’t have a chance next time. The main reason was that his body probably wouldn’t be able to take it.
After a man reached the age of 30, his body would deteriorate. It was normal for his physical abilities to decline.
Moreover, ordinary people couldn’t stand staying in the examination hall for a few days and nights.
They chatted in the carriage for a while before they heard the servant outside call out, “Young Master Ziming.” Then, Wang Sanlang crawled in.
He chuckled and said, “Heh, our brother-in-law became the top scholar. The invigilator inside found out about our relationship from somewhere, so he pulled me along for a chat.”
“Third Brother, you’ve failed the exam, but you’re still so happy. Be careful when you go back. Grandma said that you don’t want to improve,” All Yu teased deliberately.
Wang Sanlang waved his hand. “Even if I go back dejected, Grandma will still say that I’m petty and can’t take the blow. 1 might as well be happy.”
Wang Sanlang knew himself very well. He would definitely not be able to pass this time. If he really passed with his current standard, Great Chang would be finished.
He had yet to reach that level of talent. If he could still get a ranking in the Imperial Examination, wouldn’t such a country be too worrisome?
Wang Erlang said, “Looks like you really know your limits. Let’s go back first. Grandma must have made a lot of delicious food and is waiting for us.”
Second Uncle had scored well, and so had Qin Huai. If nothing unexpected happened, their family would inevitably hold a feast for a few days.
The new chef at home made top-notch food and the ingredients were very exquisite.
Ever since they came to Wanning City, when they went to the market to shop, they did not like to buy snacks. Compared to the food at home, the snacks were clearly inferior.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen they returned home, they saw that everything was normal. Not to mention preparing delicious food, there was not even a welcome at the door.
Wang Erlang’s face couldn’t help but fall. He said to All Yu, “Looks like we’ve really fallen out of favor at home. Now, no one even cares about something as important as the Imperial Examination.”
He did not feel aggrieved after suffering for a few days and nights in the examination hall, but now, he only felt his heart turn cold.
“Second Brother, let it go.” Wang Sanlang patted Wang Erlang’s shoulder and said in a mature and steady tone, “Think on the bright side. What if we’re not even biologically related?”
Wang Erlang:”…” Thank you. His mood was indeed worse now.
Ah Yu looked at her two Big Brothers’ listless appearances and held her stomach as she laughed for a long time. “Grandma knows that you’re coming back today and has already booked the entire Defeng Pavilion. She might be there right now. We can just go over later.”
When she went out on duty in the morning, Old Madam Wang told Ah Yu about this.
Actually, the day before, everyone in the family had booked the restaurant, but the examinees weren’t released yet. The next day, Old Madam Wang was afraid that something would happen again, so she simply went to Defeng Pavilion to wait.
Ah Yu even asked quietly, “Grandma, if Second Uncle doesn’t pass, will we still book the restaurant?”
Old Madam Wang glanced at Ah Yu and saw that there was a hidden meaning in her granddaughter’s words. She couldn’t fall for it. “Why? Do I have to choose an auspicious day to treat my family to a meal? Don’t worry, even if your Second Uncle can’t pass, 1 won’t break his legs.”
At most, she would chase him back to the village to teach.
“Hehehe, 1 knew Grandma is the best!” Ah Yu hugged Old Madam Wang’s arm and shook it coquettishly.
This was an agreement Wang Chuangui had secretly made with All Yu. Although he was full of confidence, he still had to be careful just in case. Otherwise, when he came out, there would be no one to help him cushion the impact. At that time, his mother would fly into a rage and he would not be able to withstand it.
Ah Yu brought Wang Erlang and Wang Sanlang to rest briefly before heading straight for Defeng Pavilion. However, just as she reached the door, she heard an unfriendly voice.
“In my opinion, we poor children shouldn’t think about the Imperial Examination. Didn’t you see that the new top scorer this year is the Young Master of the Duke’s Estate? If we say that it’s not an internal decision, would anyone believe it?”
“Those Young Masters from noble families didn’t go to have fun, but they came to fight with us for jobs. Isn’t it obvious that they’re eating their fill and still not letting others have a chance?!”
“Ptui!”
