The monument that hangs the Spring Festival List is located in Fengyao Square.
Fengyao Square is adjacent to Suzaku Street in the west and is located in the center of Shangjing City, which has always been very lively.
Today, Fengyaofang is even more crowded. The surrounding teahouses and restaurants are full of people.
In the wing room on the third floor of Fuman Restaurant, facing the street, the other four were sitting at the table, but Ji Mingyan was lying on the window edge, looking forward to it.
The box is quite big, and a table can seat more than a dozen people. Now, because there are only four people, it looks extraordinarily empty.
Originally, Ji Mingyan was sitting in the middle, with Ji Yunxi on the right and Ji Mingshuang on the left.
The Ji family arrived earlier than the Wu family. When Wu Weian came in, he naturally sat beside Ji Yunxi.
It stands to reason that Wu Weian has always followed his second brother. No, it should be said that the second brother usually accompanies the older brother when he is away from home.
Wu Weian took it for granted that his second brother would definitely sit beside him.
But for some unknown reason, Wu Weian just sat down next to Ji Yunxi when he saw the second brother paused and actually sat directly in Ji Mingshuang's place.
Then, the two of them talked in a low voice, talking about Chunwei, and they exchanged with each other what was written on their papers and how to solve the problem would be better.
Wu Weian: "?"
Wu Weian turned his head and asked Ji Yunxi in a low voice, "Do you know what's going on?"
Ji Yunxi is drinking tea, and he has served the Mingqian Longjing.
She took a sip without rushing, then put down the cup and tilted her head: "What's going on?"
Wu Weian looked at the opposite side and talked happily, like Wu Er and Ji Qi who were brothers: "Why did the two of them suddenly get better?"
Ji Yunxi followed and looked at him, then looked back at the people around him.
Speaking of which, the last time we met was the night of the end of Spring Festival, which was already in early February.
Today is March 16, and she hasn't seen her cash cow for almost a month and a half.
The cash cow hasn't changed much, but it looks thinner.
I don't know if it's really thin, or it's the clothes.
Yes, Wu Weian finally took off his bloated cotton-padded coat, and changed into a tee that was mainly white and supplemented by gray and blue, which made his already good figure look tall and straight.
Only the face is still not visible.
Ji Yunxi could see at a glance that he was still wearing makeup when he went out today, and his face was painted a grayish blue, looking as if his body had been hollowed out, leaving only a body.
Wu Weian was seen a little shy, and said, "What have you been looking at me for?"
Ji Mingshuang, who was talking to Wu Er, almost spat out a sip of tea.
Really, so disgusting. How can there be such a chilling man in the world? Obviously, the younger brother of the Wu family is still normal, right
Even though Wu Er was used to the appearance of his brother outside, every time he saw him, he was still embarrassed for his brother.
But he couldn't say anything. He could only continue to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics together with Ji Mingshuang who pretended not to hear anything.
Ji Yunxi's reaction was flat, and she even boasted in a low voice with interest, "You put on good makeup."
Wu Weian approached and said in a low voice, "Actually, I can still transform better, but there is not much powder left at home, and I've used up all these years of walking around, and I have bottomed out. I have to say, the ones in your car last time were very powdery. Well, I haven't washed my face for three days and can still keep it as it is. Would you like to give me some? I always feel that I will use it often in the future."
"… "
Ji Yunxi's mouth twitched. In the last life and this life, she has met many people, some weird ones, but... Wu Weian is the first time she really sees them.
But then again, she has these things.
In her last life, Ji Yunxi liked to stock up on all kinds of cosmetics and skin care products. After she came to ancient times, she almost had this habit.
She has a lot of rouge and lip gloss at home, and she can't use it up.
So she nodded: "You can take it yourself later."
Wu Weian smiled shyly: "Thank you Yunniang~"
After speaking, the shop assistant pushed open the door of the wing room and bought tea for Wu Weian and Wu Weining who had just arrived.
The restaurant is crowded and noisy. But the door just closed, in the end cut off some sound. But now, as soon as the door opened, all the voices from below came in.
"Fang Yuan! You are a liar! You pay me back!"
"Brother, I'm willing to admit defeat. I didn't force you to gamble with me. Since it's a gamble, how can there be any reason to pay you back?"
"you-"
After that, the content of the words could not be heard clearly, and there was the sound of stools, tableware falling, and the angry voice of the man.
The two seemed to fight together and were pulled apart again.
"Okay, don't make trouble, you all stay calm."
"He lied to me for money!"
"I told you earlier that Fang Yuan is good at gambling and plays a lot of tricks. You can't beat him."
"Fang Yuan, you've also passed the township exam. You're a great person. Don't always play with these unpopular things."
"Why are these not popular? In fact, these methods can be found in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". They are all knowledge."
"Okay, okay, don't say a word, and wait for the list!"
"… "
The sound gradually decreased.
Ji Yunxi stopped the shop assistant who was about to leave: "What happened down there?"
The second shopkeeper knew who was in this wing, so he heard the words and said respectfully: "Miss Huisan, Fang Yuan came from the countryside to take the test, and his family is far and poor. , then he made money by provoking other candidates to gamble with him. This man has a very bad reputation, and all the juren masters don't like to associate with him. "
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes: "Understood, you go down."
The shop clerk sighed and resigned respectfully.
The shop assistant just walked away, Ji Yunxi got up on the back, left the wing, stood in front of the fence on the third floor, and looked down at the lobby below.
A scholar below was full of anger, surrounded by many colleagues, as if to persuade him.
Not far away, a thin man in black stood alone, and no one around him wanted to be with him.
But he was happy himself, counting the money he had just won.
Ji Yunxi glanced at it, called Baofu, and whispered a few words. Baofu quickly led the way.
Wu Weian looked aside and said nothing.
He was thinking, when she picked him at the snow banquet, was it the same as now
In her eyes, are he the same as the poor scholar in the hall
Wu Weian answered his own question in a split second, and it should be almost the same.
First, they are all poor.
Second, they all had something she liked about them.
When Ji Yunxi turned around, he met Wu Weian's gaze.
In his line of sight, with inquiry, how much... Injured
Ji Yunxi asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Wu Weian clutched his chest, grief came from his heart: "Did you like that poor scholar in black?"
Ji Yunxi looked at him and hesitated, and finally said, "You can try to open a theater, I think your theater should be able to make money."
Ji Mingyan, who suddenly rushed out, pointed his ears: "What theater? Who wants to open a theater? Third sister, are you going to open a theater?"
Ji Yunxi: "..."
Ji Mingyan didn't wait for Ji Yunxi to answer, and then excitedly said: "The person who published the list is here! It's coming soon! Let's hurry up and grab the best spot!!"
After speaking, he couldn't help but grab his brother-in-law and ran downstairs.
Sure enough, Ji Mingyan dragged the trembling Wu Weian to the downstairs, and everyone knew it.
There was an instant sensation in the restaurant, and countless scholars flocked to the outside. This flow of people is no different from the popular scenic spots in modern society and holidays.
Ji Yunxi glanced at it, then turned around and went back to the wing, where she happened to meet Ji Mingshuang and Wu Weining who came out.
Ji Mingshuang asked: "Isn't the list released? Why don't you go down and have a look?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Didn't sixth brother go?"
According to what she knew about her sixth brother, she should know the result soon.
Ji Mingshuang pondered: "It's not the same after all."
He is a candidate, he is also curious about his grades, and wants to see the list with his own eyes.
Therefore, Ji Mingshuang and Wu Weining went downstairs.
Ji Yunxi went back to the wing alone, sat down comfortably, leaned against the window, looked at the crowd of people who were overwhelmed by the crowd, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of tea with ease.
In the end, Ji Mingshuang and Wu Weining came back after three sips of tea.
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "?"
Ji Mingshuang sat back in his seat and said, "You are right, Ji Mingyan will tell us the result after reading it."
Wu Weining also had lingering fears: "There are a lot of people outside."
The three of them sat peacefully in the wing room, and when the tea was almost half a cup, Ji Mingyan in the crowd dragged his brother-in-law and finally reached the front of the list.
He glanced at the top of the list, and saw a familiar name at a glance, and even turned his head and shouted at Fumanlou: "Mingshuang! You are the first!!! Mingshuang!!! You are the first!! "
Ji Mingshuang was actually a little nervous in his heart. Although he was very calm to the outside world, and he looked unrestrained and casual, it didn't matter, but he was really nervous.
Because Ji Mingshuang is really afraid, he has never passed his brother-in-law...
Strange to say, Ji Mingshuang felt that his brother-in-law would not be able to make it to the list, and the money his sister had spent would only go to waste.
But he was actually afraid that his brother-in-law did better than him in the exam, which is really a rather strange thing.
It can only be said that although my brother-in-law is not good in every aspect, he is really working hard these days.
With that look of being overworked at first glance, and the level of effort he put into sleeping for only one hour a day, Ji Mingshuang asked himself that he couldn't do it.
But now, after hearing that he was number one, Ji Mingshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Over there, Ji Mingyan was really too excited, and he was afraid that he would be too far away and his younger siblings wouldn't be able to hear him, so he howled twice: "Mingshuang, you got the first place in the exam!!! Mingshuang, did you hear it!!!! "
Ji Mingshuang, who was relieved, was blacked out by Ji Mingyan's voice, wishing to fly over to block his sixth brother's mouth.
He has never been a high-profile person, but when Ji Mingyan shouted, let alone he heard it, everyone present heard it.
Really, so embarrassing.
Ji Yunxi bent her lips, happy for her brother: "Congratulations, seventh brother."
Wu Weining also sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations to Ming Shuang brother."
Ji Ming's ears were slightly red, and he coughed: "I didn't expect to be the first in the test."
After Ji Mingyan finished howling, he continued to look down, but his eyes widened and he looked ecstatic.
Next to him, Wu Weian was squeezed so pale that he didn't seem to be able to recover, he was gasping for breath, and didn't have time to look at the list.
Ji Mingyan grabbed his brother-in-law's elbow with one hand, pinched it desperately, and shouted while pinching, "Brother-in-law!!!! You are third!!! You really got third in the exam!!!! It's not wasting your days. The hard work!!!! It’s not in vain that I will send you soup every day!!!! Brother Six knows you can do it!!!!”
When Ji Mingyan called out that Ji Mingshuang was the first, everyone actually didn't react very much.
Because this is what everyone expected, Ji Mingshuang is the first popular candidate.
From childhood to adulthood, in Shangjing, in the circle of scholars, Ji Mingshuang has always been a man of the hour.
Everyone can see his knowledge and know that Ji Mingshuang is indeed very powerful.
Can brother-in-law third
That Ji San's husband-in-law is the third
The eldest son of the Wu family is third
In an instant, everyone fell silent, and the originally noisy and cluttered venue became eerily quiet.
Ji Mingyan's voice was particularly prominent, he was laughing wildly: "Hahahahaha I finally have money! I can finally stop being called for debts! Hahahaha!"
Wu Weian also looked incredulous, he raised his head and stared blankly.
At the same time, he calmly used his ingenuity to pull Ji Mingyan's hand away from his elbow.
Ji Mingyan was too excited and didn't care too much.
Looking at it, Wu Weian's eyes suddenly flashed with tears.
After laughing, Ji Mingyan just wanted to give his brother-in-law a big hug, but when he turned around, he saw the tears and said in shock, "Brother-in-law, why are you crying!!"
You look at me, I look at your crowd: "??"
Wu Weian stretched out his hand, wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, and choked: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I would actually be on the list and be able to do so well in the test. I used to think that I was useless. I used to study hard before, but I have been really serious about my studies since I was a child. But people around me said I couldn’t, and I also felt that I couldn’t, so I didn’t dare to take the township exam, because I thought I would definitely take the exam. However. But this time is different, Yun Niang believes in me so. No one has ever believed in me and loves me like her, and I must not let her down. So I study hard and sleep at most for an hour every day, and sometimes I don’t even sleep well. I worked hard to read books and read books to the death. The books told me that diligence can make up for my weakness, and told me that God pays for diligence. I didn’t expect it, it’s true. Really, really, really…”
At the end, Wu Weian couldn't continue, he squatted down, covered his face and wept.
Ji Mingyan squatted down and patted Wu Weian's shoulder very moved: "Brother-in-law, men don't cry easily. But you have been working really hard these days. So much thinner. But after all the hard work, you and the third sister will definitely be able to get over the better in the future."
The scholars crowded around watched and listened, and for a moment I didn't know what to think.
Originally, they all disbelieved Wu Weian's third result, but after hearing Wu Weian's words, many people changed their minds.
Because Wu Weian said that he had been studying hard since he was a child, and that he did not go to the township examination because he was afraid, because he had no confidence in himself, and people around him also ridiculed him and thought he was not good enough. So he didn't dare to go.
Many scholars present have also experienced similar things.
Some of them even took the imperial examinations several times. They know what it feels like to be looked down upon by others. They know what it feels like to have read books for decades, but they don't want to take the exam before the exam, and they don't dare to take the exam.
In addition to empathy, they also feel guilty.
After all, Wu Weian worked so hard and only slept for an hour a day, not even sleeping at all. How hard he worked.
On the day of the Chunwei exam, everyone saw Wu Weian's appearance.
During the exam, several times Wu Weian couldn't hold himself back on the table, but many people saw the way he tried to get up to answer the question.
Including today, he still looks bad. I think that in the more than a month after the end of Spring Festival, he is still reading books seriously and never slack off.
And what about them
They say that they need to work hard, but they often get distracted when reading books, sleep when they are sleepy, and comfort themselves before going to bed. But on the second day, yesterday was repeated.
The scholars who did not do well this time, clenched their fists and secretly decided that they would study seriously as soon as they went back, and follow this Wu Weian.
Waiting for the next Spring Festival, rushing to the top ten or top three, maybe it will be them!
This is the power of hard work!
After all, the biggest role model - Wu Weian! Right in front of them!
Effort will really be successful! Study hard and get good grades!
The scholar who was close to Wu Weian saw Wu Weian was still crying, and went over to comfort him spontaneously: "Brother Wu, I, Lin Feng, have never served anyone, but this time, I will serve you! You prepare well for the palace exam, and you will get a first grade in the palace exam. Let the readers all over the world see it, and you will definitely get something if you work hard!"
As soon as Lin Feng came out, other people also crowded around, comforting Wu Weian and expressing their admiration and admiration.
Above the restaurant next to him, Feng Wu stood there with a mocking expression on his face.
He didn't believe that Wu Weian could really get the third place in the exam. All this was a little trick of the Ji family behind the scenes.
That Ji Mingxi definitely gave Wu Weian the title.
After all, Ji Yunxi smashed 50,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver in his casino.
If Wu Weian doesn't win the top one, the money will be wasted.
Will the Ji family agree
This money is not a small number, and his Feng family can't take it out for a while.
These poor and sour scholars are the best to deceive. Wu Weian cried and said a few words, and then he believed it
ridiculous.
Feng Wu turned his head and gave a few words to the servant next to him.
As a rule, although the palace exams were given by the sage, the questions were actually given by the ministry of officials, and the sage picked them up.
Feng Wu affirmed that Ji Mingxi must have given Wu Weian all the questions of the palace exam and asked Wu Weian to prepare it.
But he and the people behind him will definitely not let this happen.
Wu Weian, Ji Family, Ji Yunxi, all wait for him!
Feng Wu laughed, and his smile was a little crazy.
Feng Wu's teahouse is next to Fumanlou.
On the third floor of Fumanlou, there was a completely different reaction.
The moment he heard Ji Mingyan say that his brother-in-law passed the exam, Ji Ming got up from his position with a double swipe.
This news, more than his own, shocked him.
how is this possible?
Just that, the little white-faced brother-in-law who huddles next to his sister all day
Wu Weining was not too surprised when he heard it.
Because he has always known that his brother is not a simple person, and whatever the brother does, it should be quite normal.
Including crying in public.
Only his brother could do this.
Wu Weining bit her lip and couldn't help being embarrassed for her brother.
As for Ji Yunxi, she rarely showed a smile.
Although she said, she always believed that Wu Weian was fine.
But she was really happy with the result.
Gradually, everyone saw their own ranking.
There are those who are happy and those who are sad.
But unlike previous years, those who did not pass the exam this year seem to have been beaten.
They were sad for a while, then began to cheer up, and immediately returned to the inn, back to the inn, and went home. As soon as I got home, I took out the book and started reading.
Wu Weian accepted the comfort and admiration of many people, wiped away his tears, and walked to Ji Yunxi who came out of Fumanlou step by step.
Wu Weian looked at her affectionately: "Niang Yun, I did it."
Ji Yunxi calmly accepted the gazes from all directions, generously, nodded slightly: "I heard, don't slack, there is still a palace exam."
Wu Wei'an nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Niang Yun, I will definitely win the first one and marry you Feng Fengguangguang."
The two said a few words in front of everyone and left.
On this day, this scene was recorded and became a story that has been passed down through the ages.
-
There were three carriages parked outside.
Two cars came from the Ji Mansion, and one came from the Wu family.
Ji Yunxi got into her car first, and Ji Mingyan subconsciously wanted to follow.
He is still very excited now, and he has a lot to say to his third sister.
As a result, Wu Weian stopped him and whispered, "Sixth brother."
The more Ji Mingyan looked at his brother-in-law, the more pleasing to the eye: "What's the matter?"
Wu Weian was a little embarrassed: "I think, stay with Yunniang for a while."
Ji Mingyan immediately understood: "I forgot, I forgot, you must have a lot to tell Sanmei now!"
Just like him, there are so many things he wants to say to his third sister, not to mention his brother-in-law!
Ji Mingyan was very considerate and got into Ji Mingshuang's carriage.
As soon as he went up, he threw Ji Mingshuang into his arms, desperately reaching out to rub Ji Mingshuang's head: "Mingshuang, Mingshuang, Brother Six knows you are great, and you didn't disappoint Brother Six, hahaha! In the future, I will It's the brother of the champion!"
Ji Mingshuang was furious: "Ji Mingyan! Get away!"
The brothers quarreled.
And Wu Weining, who took the 38th place this time, is also very good for him.
He was in a hurry to go home to announce the good news to his mother and sisters at home.
Wu Wei'an, who climbed into the carriage, lowered the curtain of the carriage, blocking out the eyes around him.
He leaned comfortably on the soft cushion: "I like your sixth brother quite a bit."
Ji Yunxi took out a small pot of tea leaves from the dark compartment on the side and poured it into the teapot: "Oh?"
Wu Weian thought about the scene just now: "With your sixth brother, you can do more with less."
Ji Yunxi took the boiled water and slowly poured it into the teapot, the fragrance of the tea overflowing.
She hummed, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and handed one of the cups to him in person.
Wu Weian took it: "Is the third place worth a cup of tea?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at him, and felt that this person was the best at being cheap and acting well: "You don't have to drink it."
Wu Weian smiled, took a sip, and said, "Good tea, but you can't make tea, it's a pity."
Ji Yunxi really doesn't know how to make tea, she only puts tea leaves and pours water.
But so what? She blew the heat gently: "It's not a pity, I don't lack good tea leaves."
Wu Weian had nothing to answer, so he could only shut up.
Yes, his wife, rich enough to take a bath with good tea.
It is he who has overstepped.
The carriage first sent Ji Yunxi back to Ji's house, and then sent Wu Weian back to Wu's house.
It's just that when he was about to arrive at Wu's house, Wu Weian squatted in front of the dark compartment where the rouge was placed and fiddled for a while.
When the carriage returned to Ji Mansion again, the maid in Ji Yunxi's courtyard came to pack up.
This maid recently took over the job of cleaning up the carriage.
As she cleaned up, she felt that something was wrong.
1. The young lady will basically not drink all the tea, generally more than half of it will be left;
Second, the lady will not finish eating the melon and fruit pastries, usually more than half of them are left.
But this time, the teapot is empty.
The melon and fruit pastries are also empty.
Although the maid was a little strange, she still cleaned up.
Then she opened the dark boxes one by one to check whether the items were complete, and if they were missing, they would make up for them in time.
As a result, she was shocked when she opened the hidden compartment of the Miss Rouge powder box.
Because of that dark box, it's empty.
There is nothing in it, including the feathered hand mirror that Miss likes!
