As the sun was setting, Ruan Xi led two maidservants into Chengyibo's mansion under Wen Tingzhou's watchful eye.
"Hey, Fourth Sister is finally willing to come back?" Ruan Sanniang had a bright sneer on her pretty face.
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Sanniang's master and servants standing in the wide aisle in front, obviously blocking her, Ruan Xi glanced at her lightly, and led Suyu Suzhu and the others directly past Ruan Sanniang.
Ruan Sanniang, who was ignored, was annoyed for a while, and quickly stepped forward to stop Ruan Xi, asking aggressively.
"Fourth sister, what are you doing so fast? Do you still have my third sister in your eyes, or are you guilty of doing something shameful?"
"Third Sister and I have nothing to say." Ruan Xi said in a cold tone.
"I've seen you and Mr. Wen's tour of the capital. Mr. Wen is willing to be your coachman. Are you very proud? I wonder what Mrs. Wen will think if she finds out?" Ruan Sanniang said maliciously.
No mother would be happy to see her wonderful son make a fuss over a woman.
When Ruan Sanniang thought of the private discussions of the people in the capital and the romantic scene she saw, the jealousy in her heart was burning, and her reason was almost drowned out.
She lived for three lifetimes, why didn't she meet a man as good as Mr. Wen.
In the last life, she never married Mr. Wen, who was said to have broken her sleeves, but in this life, she was taken down by her fourth sister. Ruan Sanniang once again questioned the injustice of God, and wished to expose the fact that her fourth sister had taken sterilization pills now.
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Sanniang, who couldn't hide her jealousy and malice, with calm eyes: "Sister San, is it interesting for you to keep staring at me like this?" After speaking, she took the two maids to the main courtyard.
Ruan Sanniang didn't block the way this time, she sneered, relying on Mr. Wen as her fiancé, the fourth sister's airs became more and more arrogant, and she became more and more ignorant of her, hum, without her, the fourth younger sister would never want to have children for the rest of her life.
Now charge some interest.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult relationship in the world, especially in the ancient times when filial piety was emphasized.
Fourth sister, I will give you a good publicity.
…
Ruan Xi stayed outside for the whole afternoon, and his aunt Zhang just sent her back to the yard after a few symbolic inquiries, let alone the old lady who seemed to care about everything.
Ruan Xi is actually quite satisfied with the atmosphere in the uncle's mansion, and hopes that Mrs. Zhang can continue to focus on Ruan Sanniang.
Back in Chengxin Garden, the sky was getting dark, and Mama Yang asked her servants to light candles.
After Ruan Xi washed up, she sat on the soft couch eating fruit in a fresh and refreshed body. Ruan Sanniang's malice had long been forgotten by her.
With Ruan Sanniang's temperament, she was just playing tricks to spread rumors. She and Wen Tingzhou are unmarried couples, and it is not shameful to travel together in the capital. How could Mrs. Wen care about such a trivial matter.
Ruan Sanniang thought too much.
This is indeed the case. Someone told Mrs. Wen about it a long time ago. Not only did Mrs. Wen not care, but she was also very happy that the two had a good relationship.
While eating melons and fruits, Ruan Xi listened to Mama Yang talk about the affairs in the mansion. She learned from Mama Yang that Ruan Sanniang took a group of guards to Mu's house in the afternoon.
Ruan Xi didn't need to think about it, Ruan Sanniang should have heard the news that the fourth prince Namu Qingci was his concubine, and rushed to repair the relationship excitedly, but she didn't even think about it. They didn't say a word, now that people's fortunes are turning, and they are rushing to be their good sisters again, Ruan Sanniang's operations are really suffocating.
Poor Mu Qingci.
Even if she knows Ruan Sanniang's identity as a time-traveling woman, she still has to endure her sticky brown candy, and she needs to have the capital to tear her face apart, as long as she survives until the fourth prince ascends the throne.
In addition to this, there is another great joy. Uncle Daddy finally removed the word "temporary generation", and took the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry in a dignified manner.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry is a fourth-rank official, and he can be regarded as a moderately powerful official in the capital. Mrs. Zhang said that all the servants in the mansion's monthly salary will increase by 30% this month, and all the servants are beaming.
Ruan Xi was also happy in her heart. A down-and-out concubine's daughter is not as popular as the daughter of a powerful official without a title. Now that Uncle's father is also a powerful official, her status has also risen accordingly.
That night, Ruan Xi slept soundly and had a strange dream.
In the dream, she turned into a stupid little white rabbit, and then met a slick big bad wolf, and was foolishly taken back to the wolf's den by the scheming wolf...and eaten.
The kind you swallow whole.
When Ruan Xi woke up, she found that it was dawn outside, and she could vaguely hear the sound of servants walking back and forth in the yard. She lifted the gauze curtain in front of the bed and got out of bed, took a coat and put it on her body, thinking of the big bad wolf eating Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing at the dream of the little white rabbit.
"I didn't expect that I would have such a childlike dream."
Suyu Suzhu heard the movement inside and came in to help Ruan Xi freshen up.
"Miss, we will try to release the list today, do you want to see the list?" Suyu couldn't help asking while combing the lady's hair.
"Yeah, I don't know where Mr. Wen got in the exam, but it would be great if he was in the top three." Suzhu made the bed and came over.
Ruan Xi looked at the girl in the bronze mirror in front of him, and said calmly: "There must be a lot of people who read the list today, let's send a few servants to look at it, um, just look at the red list, you don't need to look at the white list."
Su Yu and Su Zhu: "..."
Miss really has confidence in Mr. Wen.
Thinking of what Mr. Wen and Miss said yesterday, the two secretly looked forward to Mr. Wen's high school reunion.
Apart from Ruan Xi, there are many people who are concerned about Wen Tingzhou's ranking in the general examination, and there are also many people related to Ruan Xi, such as the masters of the Chengyi Mansion, such as Li Xiangxiang who still did not let go of Wen Tingzhou after being married to the fourth prince. Of course there is also Mu Qingling who was divorced by Wen Tingyi.
When Ruan Xi went to the main courtyard to pay his respects after breakfast, besides Mrs. Zhang, Ruan Sanniang was also there. Ruan Xi was slightly surprised, and hurried forward to pay his respects.
"My daughter greets her mother."
"Si Niang, the Ministry of Rites released the list today, and I sent a few servants to look at the list at the entrance of the Gong Yuan. You wait here for good news from Young Master Wen." Mrs. Zhang said kindly to Ruan Xi.
Uncle Wen's contribution to being able to sit on the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry this time is indisputable.
Mrs. Zhang once again regretted giving Siniang sterilization drugs for a counterfeit. With the promotion of her uncle's official position, her desire to kill the counterfeit became stronger in her heart.
The matter of sterilization pills must be covered up.
"Yes, mother." Ruan Xi sat obediently aside, while Mama Sun made a pot of tea.
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Si Niang, Mr. Wen is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and he will definitely come out on top in this trial."
"Mother, you think Mr. Wen is too high. You must know that there are people beyond the people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. There are more than 10,000 candidates participating in the exam this time. Many of them have failed to pass the exam after several times. Their experience and experience Rich, if you didn't pass the exam before, maybe it's not because you are not good enough, but because of bad luck, no matter how powerful Mr. Wen is, it's impossible to win the first place."
Ruan Sanniang remembered the personal luck that her elder brother had mentioned, and combined with the situation of the Enke test, she didn't want to see the fourth sister look proud, so she couldn't help pouring cold water on her.
In his last life, Mr. Wen won the tenth place. The top three were all in their 30s and 40s. After the palace examination, Mr. Wen was not even a second-class biography, but a second-class Jinshi.
Zhang: "..."
What the counterfeit said was damn reasonable, but Mrs. Zhang hated it very much.
In her heart, she hoped that Mr. Wen would win the high school. Once he wins the first place in the examination, he will be ranked first in the palace examination without any accidents. His official career will be bright, and the uncle's official position will be confirmed, and the Ruan family will become more and more prosperous. Now Mrs. Zhang has looked down on Ms. Shen, who is also from the uncle's house. She hopes that Da Lang can talk about a better marriage.
"Third sister's words are reasonable, but no one can say for sure now, it's better to wait for the people who read the list to come back." Ruan Xi smiled leisurely, and didn't take Ruan Sanniang's words to heart. However, the future is not static. Ruan Xi still remembers Wen Tingzhou's casual attitude when talking about the imperial examination. Maybe Wen Tingzhou hid himself in the previous life. She has confidence in Wen Tingzhou.
Ruan Xi didn't forget that Wen Tingzhou asked for a request yesterday, if he didn't have confidence, would he say such a thing
Ruan Sanniang only felt that the fourth sister's calm smile was very dazzling. The more outstanding Mr. Wen was, the more incompetent her fiancé Qi Yue'an seemed, and she couldn't help but lash out again.
"I advise Fourth Sister not to have too much hope, sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"Sanniang, shut up." Mrs. Zhang gave the impostor a hard look.
This imposter really has no winks, he speaks so openly in front of a group of servants.
Ruan Sanniang curled her lips: "I'm doing this for the sake of Fourth Sister, lest Mr. Wen fail the exam and she can't accept it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a servant quickly ran in and said out of breath, "husband, madam, fourth lady, the tribute court has announced the results, Mr. Wen has entered high school..."
Mrs. Zhang stood up abruptly from her chair, and asked excitedly, "Where is Mr. Wen's high school?"
"First place on the list, Mr. Wen is the leader of this test."
As soon as the servant's words fell, she slapped Ruan Sanniang fiercely in the face. Her face was extremely ugly, and the questioning words blurted out instantly without going through her brain.
"How is it possible? How could Mr. Wen be the top of the list? There must be a shady plot!"
Ruan Sanniang's voice was so loud that the hall was instantly silent.
The happy smiles on everyone's faces froze, and they looked at Ruan Sanniang very delicately.
"Sanniang, shut up!" Mrs. Zhang shouted angrily with a dark face.
The damned impostor dared to question that there was a shady scene in the meeting, and he was not afraid of bringing disaster to the uncle's house.
"I'm not wrong. There must be something shady. Mr. Wen's father is the Minister of Rites. Maybe he got the exam questions in advance and cheated!"
When Ruan Sanniang saw all the doubts, she simply broke the jar and yelled without fear of death.
It's better to make things bigger. Ruan Sanniang has not forgotten the hatred of being buried with the old emperor in her previous life. Maybe she can hear the good news that the old emperor fell ill without waiting until after the palace examination.
Anyway, she is reasonably skeptical, she doesn't believe that those candidates have no doubts, who made Mr. Wen's background too prominent.
Obviously, in the last life, Mr. Wen only took the tenth place in the examination, but in this life he has become a member of the Huiyuan, and no one will believe it if he is not tricky.
Anyway, Ruan Sanniang didn't believe it.
Mr. Wen is either cheating or shady.
"Come on, quickly cover Sanniang's mouth." Mrs. Zhang was trembling with anger, wishing to immediately kill this impostor who didn't cover her mouth.
Mama Sun and Mama Gao hurried forward to support Ruan Sanniang and covered her mouth.
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Sanniang coldly. The examination papers for the Enke Exam were jointly prepared by the Holy Majesty and several respected Confucian scholars. The confidentiality was top-notch, and there was absolutely no possibility of leakage.
Ruan Sanniang's reaction was so strong, Ruan Xi guessed that Wen Tingzhou's last life should just be a random test.
There are so many people paying attention to the uncle's mansion now, Ruan Sanniang's yelling, it's too late for Mrs. Zhang to be silenced, Ruan Sanniang's doubts may have already been spread, and everyone's words will make money, and people with ulterior motives will confuse the water. I am afraid that there are more people who doubt it.
Ruan Xi couldn't help but began to worry about Wen Tingzhou.
