"Take the No. 1 Scholar exam? It's good to take the No. 1 Scholar exam!" Chu Yan's eyes lit up, and he completely forgot about Chu Ling's quarrel with him just now, "I'm just saying, A Ling is a good candidate for the exam, so it would be a pity not to pass the exam.
, turns out I want to take the martial arts exam!"
He was overjoyed, but the people in the other houses couldn't laugh. Several sons of the second house wanted to take the imperial examination. Although the third house had no sons, Chu Gui was still preparing for the imperial examination when he was old. If Chu Gui
If Ling wants to participate, then they will almost lose all their advantages.
"Does A Ling only want to take the first prize in martial arts?" Chu Gui asked tentatively.
Chu Ling glanced at him and easily guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head lightly and said with a half-smile, "Take a test."
Just two words shattered all their hopes.
Xue Jinxiu tightened her veil even more with hatred. She was born in a family of generals, and her son Chu Quan also aimed at becoming the number one scholar in martial arts and had been practicing painstakingly. In the past few years, she had never heard of Chu Ling taking the martial arts exam.
The idea of becoming the number one scholar was suddenly brought up now, without making it clear that she wanted to go against her son?
Chu Quan also changed his expression. Everyone knew that Chu Ling's martial arts was the best in Liuzhou. He had been unable to defeat him since he was a child. Two years ago, Chu Ling passed the imperial examination, but did not continue to take the exam. Everyone thought that he was not interested in an official career.
Thinking of him, he waited until he was about to take the exam, and stepped in. Who would believe it if he said it was not intentional?!
Qian Ling'er watched the changes in the expressions of the mother and son with cold eyes, and felt very happy. Since she married Chu Quan, this guy had to move into his aunt's house every six months, and even said that he wanted to open a house for the Chu family.
The branches and leaves were scattered, but none of the aunts he carried in had any movement in their bellies. It was clear that he was not good at it. However, Xue Jinxiu still ignored her conscience and blamed the matter on her. Although she wanted to be the first lady, she could not
Knowing that people like Chu Quan will only become more unscrupulous after gaining power, and then her head wife will live like a joke.
Instead of doing this, it is better to hope that he will decline, that he will be miserable, that he will be unlucky. As long as this guy is unhappy, he will not have the capital to find excuses to divorce his wife.
Seeing the wonderful expressions of these people, the old lady frowned and said, "You don't seem very happy for A Ling?"
These people came back to their senses, twitched their lips with difficulty, and were happy for him. They all wanted to kill him!
Seeing no one answered, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, "I'm happy, of course I'm happy! It's rare that my eldest cousin has given up the idea of joining the army, and now we all feel at ease." With that, Chu Run walked out from the crowd and walked toward him.
Chu Ling smiled kindly.
Chu Ling's eyes became cold, and he lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze.
The old lady was very happy, "Arun is still sensible, the rest of you should learn from it!" She looked at Chu Gui and said: "Especially you, Agui, at your age, you didn't even get to the third place in the exam.
Come on, if you people are afraid that he will steal your number one spot, you should try your best and don’t let others take the exam if you fail the exam yourself!"
This was said so directly that many people blushed.
Shi Chunfen stood next to Chu Ling. Seeing that the old lady stabilized the situation with just a few words, she felt excited and admired. She glanced at Chu Ling quietly and saw that his face was indifferent, as if he didn't care about other people's reactions at all.
, there was a feeling of emotion in my heart. No wonder he came out of the Buddhist hall on his own initiative that day, and the old lady was not angry. It turned out that she had long been prepared to compromise and take a more stable road. The three words "Wu Zhuangyuan" were not unfamiliar to her.
She and Chu Run were chatting outside the Buddhist hall that day, and Chu Run mentioned this matter. I wonder if Chu Ling heard it at that time and changed his mind?
Thinking of this, she glanced at Chu Run subconsciously. If Chu Ling really changed his mind because of his words, then she really had to thank him properly.
Although she verbally supported Chu Ling's surrender to the army, she was still unhappy in her heart.
As the old lady said, there are thousands of roads that Chu Ling can take, and there is no need to choose such a dangerous one.
Chu Run seemed to be aware of her gaze and took the initiative to smile at her, but the smile only lasted for a moment and was blocked by Chu Ling's broad body. Facing his warning eyes, Chu Run suddenly laughed dumbly. He seemed to understand the lobby.
Why is my brother always so hostile to him?
That’s not right. With a wife like Shi Chunfen, is her eldest cousin also worried about gains and losses?
When Chu Ling met Chu Run's eyes, Chu Ling suddenly took a step forward and blocked her eyes. Just when she felt a little confused, she saw Chu Ling turn around and said expressionlessly: "Your friend is here
Looking for you."
She followed Chu Ling's gaze and found that Ji Xiaoman was waving to her crazily. Like her, Ji Xiaoman was also the child bride that the old lady brought back from outside. The difference was that Ji Xiaoman was one year younger than her, so she was the same as Ji Xiaoman.
It was also a year late, so the marriage was naturally not decided so early, but considering the time, it should be soon.
Thinking that they had the same background and would become a family in the future, Shi Chunfen walked over quietly under Chu Ling's protection.
"Oh my god, you're finally here. I thought you couldn't see me!" As soon as the spring equinox passed, Ji Xiaoman pulled her to a corner and chattered around her, "The hairpin on your head is so beautiful. This
Did uncle give it to you?"
Shi Chunfen smiled and said, "That's right." The gift she got for marrying him should be considered a gift from him.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Ji Xiaoman suddenly felt unhappy, "I really envy you. In the blink of an eye, you became the eldest mistress of the Chu family. We lived so close to each other back then, and you didn't give me any information.
It’s still not until I don’t see you on the wedding day that I realize you’ve already flown onto the branch.”
Shi Chunfen was speechless. In fact, she didn't know about it until the eve of the wedding. The marriage was arranged in a hurry. When the nun in the mansion came to tell her that she was about to get married, she was still worried about whether she would be promised to the annoying young master, but...
Those nuns were very tight-lipped and would not reveal anything until the last moment. When she finally found out that the person she was marrying was Chu Ling, her heart was still pounding.
Of course, she must not say these words. Although they are true, it would be a bit bragging for her to say them. She has become the eldest mistress of the Chu family without knowing anything. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
Not to mention that Ji Xiaoman wouldn't believe it, even today, she is still living in a dream, not knowing which ones are real and which ones are illusory.
Seeing that she was silent, Ji Xiaoman felt that she was guarding against him, so he couldn't help snorting, "You are better now. You have become the eldest mistress of the Chu family, and you don't recognize anyone anymore!" With that, she turned to leave, and
An angry look.
Shi Chunfen quickly pulled her back, "Where am I? If I really don't recognize you, will I come here to find you?"
Ji Xiaoman then stopped and said, "So, you still regard me as your sister?"
