Outside, the news about Wang Yixiu being beaten became very popular, and soon it reached Jiang Qingping's ears.
His heart was filled with indignation, and his delicate body was somewhat cold.
"I didn't expect that in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there would be someone Ruichang who was so unreasonable and unreasonable. It was simply unreasonable to beat Brother Wang like this!"
"Brother Qingping, what's wrong, and why are you angry?"
Outside, Ling Shuang walked in carrying today's tea snacks.
When Jiang Qingping saw the person coming, he hurriedly greeted her and took the things in her hands, "Why are you busy again? Just leave these things to a few maids, you don't have to work so hard for me!"
Ling Shuang was enjoying it, her face felt like a spring breeze, and she was very proud.
"You don't like to eat when you study in the morning. If you work so hard and continue like this, how will your body be able to eat well? As a wife, I naturally have to think more about you!"
Jiang Qingping sighed softly. For a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the next second, he picked him up.
"Shuang'er, marrying you is truly the greatest blessing in my life. I am very contented!"
Ling Shuang was very amused by his intimate look, and her eyes were bright.
"Brother Qingping, you are really not ashamed. You can do such a thing in broad daylight and you are not afraid that the maids outside will see the joke!"
"Whoever dares to laugh at me, whoever dares to make fun of me, I will ask her to serve her elsewhere and never come to me again to be an eyesore!"
The childish words immediately made Ling Shuang laugh.
He usually looks upright, but he didn't expect to have such a side.
"Okay, stop joking, brother Qingping, why are you so worried and angry?"
"Hey." Jiang Qingping became very angry when he mentioned this matter.
"It's a friend I made in college. He is also from Fengrun County. He and I have similar interests and are very good friends. But not long ago, I heard that he was beaten in a restaurant, and his face was covered with blood.
It was all blood, and he almost lost half his life! But the one who beat him didn’t do anything, and he didn’t even report it to the official!”
This matter was quite strange, and Ling Shuang also found it very strange.
"There are a lot of people in the restaurant. Isn't there a kind person who wants to report to the official?"
"Hey, maybe the person who beat me is of high status and is not easy to mess with. However, even if he is of low status, his integrity is by no means inferior. That person bullies others with power, it is really hateful!"
Ling Shuang didn't care about other people's business. She just listened to it as a joke and didn't take it to heart.
"Since so many people are helpless, it must be that the family is very powerful. Brother Qingping, just relax. The matter is over. No matter how much you regret, you can't make up for it. If brother Qingping really wants to redress the grievances of his friends, he might as well work hard.
Study hard and wait to get ahead. If you become a high official, no one will dare to bully you!"
Jiang Qingping sighed and said nothing in the end.
"Hey, the selection examination authorized by the emperor has been over for some time, but the rankings have come out! Who is the top pick?"
"It hasn't come out yet, but it should be soon."
On Yong'an Street, among the densest crowds, several officials held yellow paper in their hands and pasted the imperial list on it with a few quick strokes.
"Hey, the last selection exam has come out. What's the name of the first one?"
"Looks like his surname is Jiang, Jiang Qingping! Oops, the number one scholar is surnamed Jiang. What a coincidence, don't you think so? My surname is also Jiang. This is really the flowering of the ancestral graves of the old Jiang family, so that our Jiang family can have such a good reputation.
Talents are coming out! I hope I can also be happy!"
Beside, several people glanced at the people around them silently.
"Oh, your surname is Jiang, what is your status as the number one scholar, and you are now a relative! You are really not ashamed!"
The man was also confident, "Humph, people named Jiang were the same family hundreds of years ago. Aren't I happy?"
For a time, people were talking a lot, and the emperor's imperial list had also arrived at Jiang Qingping's house.
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Jiang Qingping is an outstanding student. He has lived in poverty for ten years and has excellent quality. He is very rare among his peers. I am very pleased. I have specially given him a mansion and a bounty of ten thousand taels. I hope he will further his ambitions in the future.
, show off your splendor in the court hall."
"The common people accept the decree."
Jiang Qingping knelt on the ground, his back straight, and he raised his hands to receive the magnificent imperial edict.
Next to him, Ling Shuang had never seen such a big scene, and his eyes lit up for a moment.
"Brother Qingping, you passed the exam, you really passed the exam, you are the number one scholar, the number one scholar in our dynasty!"
"Yes, I really passed the exam!"
Jiang Qingping held the imperial list in his hand, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He had studied hard for so long, and finally lived up to his trust and won the first place, shining on the lintel.
"I have done many wrong things before, all against my father's wishes. Now, there is finally one thing that makes him happy. Shuang'er, anyway, there are still two days before entering the palace to meet the saint. Why don't we go back first?
A trip to Fengrun County also makes my father happy."
Jiang Qingping's eyes were full of excitement, "My mother died young, and it was my father who took care of me single-handedly. Although my grandma and the others watched with all their heart, my father was always worried and would come to see me from time to time. When I was young,
My father took me to read the books, and now he will be very happy to see me achieve such an achievement."
Ling Shuang's smile froze on her face, full of fear and resistance.
"Qing, brother Qingping, it's a good thing that you won the first prize, but the interview is about to happen, so you'd better prepare yourself first. As for the master, he will go back after all, so there is no rush for it."
She could never let Jiang Qingping go back like this, and she couldn't let the dream she had been sentenced to for so long be shattered like this, even if it stayed so fragile for a lifetime, even for a moment.
"But."
"Oh, okay, brother Qingping, this way, you can repair the book and go home, and I will find a reliable servant to drag it back overnight. This is also safe and secure. I think that when the master sees your great achievements, he will definitely forgive you for your previous
It’s something.”
Jiang Qingping thought about it and finally couldn't defeat Ling Shuang, and he couldn't go back in the end.
Jiang Qingping was the number one scholar in the dynasty, and his name instantly spread across every street and alley in the dynasty. Zhao Zhaowu also had a strong interest in him, not to mention that he was from Fengrun County.
"Go and invite our top candidate to come and talk to the government!"
Jiang Qingping was also shocked when he saw the prince's people. The prince had already come to invite him before he even entered the court. He was really frightened.
