The next day, the genius had just shined. Whether it was at the gate of the academy or outside the gate of the school field in the suburbs, there were already students who were going to take the exam, including their relatives, because many of the students were from the capital.
Opening Enke is not only an opportunity for poor students, but also an opportunity for wealthy families in the capital, which means they have more opportunities to occupy positions in the court.
Mrs. Dingguo Gong finally helped Qin Rui check his luggage, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, the clothes he had changed in the past few days, and some necessary gold sore medicine. She always felt uneasy.
I have so many sons, but this son is the only one who has to take the exam. The other children have followed their father in the military camp since they were very young, and have risen to the top with their military merits.
"Mom, don't worry, there are a lot of things!" Qin Rui saw that his mother had already checked it twice, so he could only smile and hold her mother's hand. "Your son is such an adult, how can he still be careless?
"
"How old are you? No matter how old you are, you are still my son!" Mrs. Dingguo slapped Qin Rui's hand away and asked Gengxu next to Qin Rui to help Qin Rui hold the baggage, "Oh, where is the water bag for you to drink water from?"
"Hanging by the saddle." Qin Rui said with a smile.
"Where is the dry food?" Mrs. Dingguo asked again. "There is no food for you to eat!"
"I've brought it with me, it's enough! We also have dried meat, which was packed by Nanny Ning herself. Don't worry." Qin Rui pointed to a cloth bag hanging on the horse's back and said, "It can't be thrown away."
"Hey." Mrs. Dingguo nodded, "Let's go then."
There were so many people coming to take the exams, and the avenue at the entrance of the school grounds was filled with carriages and horses from various families.
Because it is a martial arts examination, you can bring your own horses, but you cannot bring your own weapons to prevent someone from tampering with the weapons.
The horse Hongxiao brought by Qin Rui was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but look at the horse. However, most people did not recognize what kind of horse it was. They only thought that the horse was extraordinary. How could it be seen?
How energetic. When they saw the emblem of Duke Dingguo on the saddle, everyone suddenly realized that only a family of military commanders like Duke Ding could have such a good horse.
Zheng Wenxuan saw Hongxiao's sweaty horse at a glance! Jealousy suddenly welled up in his heart. He was holding Ding Wanxin's hand, but he unknowingly exerted some force.
Ding Wanxin felt pain and called out softly, "Husband!"
Only then did Zheng Wenxuan react, "Go back." He took his own baggage from Ding Wanxin's hand, put it on his back, and said coldly.
Ding Wanxin didn't know what was wrong with her. Zheng Wenxuan had been quite gentle to her last night and this morning, but when she arrived at the gate of the school ground, it suddenly became cold again.
Ding Wanxin felt a little aggrieved, and her eyes were filled with mist unconsciously.
In the past, when he saw Ding Wanxin with tears in his eyes, Zheng Wenxuan would have coaxed her gently, but now there was only irritability in his heart. If Ding Wanxin hadn't helped him connect with King Chen, he would have really wanted to slap her away.
Ding Wanxin slapped her aside. The reason why he is today
On the 1st, didn’t he just thank her and commit suicide in front of the Queen Mother, the Empress and so many noble ladies in the capital? He made it clear that he didn’t want to die and used it as a threat? Fortunately, he was so hot that he jumped in to save others.
If he had known today, he would have cared about her life and death at that time, and it would be best if she drowned!
But her tone was a little harsh, and she still had the nerve to cry in front of him!
"Are you trying to get me into trouble?" Zheng Wenxuan said impatiently, "Want to cry again? If you want to cry in despair, go back to your Ding family!"
Ding Wanxin was startled, she hurriedly held back her tears, lowered her head and used a handkerchief to clean the corners of her eyes, and smiled reluctantly at Zheng Wenxuan, "I can't bear to leave my husband! How can I look so sad?"
"The smile is uglier than the cry. I am crazy to ask you to send me away!" Zheng Wenxuan said angrily, and simply turned his head away not to look at Ding Wanxin.
"It will be embarrassing if you don't come back yet." Mrs. Andinghou's low roar came from the Zheng family's carriage. Ding Wanxin had no choice but to walk towards the back with one step at a time.
Before she could move to the carriage, she saw several guards on horseback, "Give way, we're in trouble!" The leader shouted loudly, "Princess Anrong is driving here, the rest of the people are waiting to disperse!
"
Princess Anrong?
Everyone looked towards the road that had given way. Not long after, a six-horse carriage came speeding by. According to the ancestral system, commoners could only carry ox-carts, and only squires or successful scholars could ride in carriages, but that was not the case.
It can only be a one-horse carriage. Officials below the third rank can ride on a two-horse carriage. Only officials above the third rank can ride on a four-horse carriage. As for a six-horse carriage, only those of a county king or above can ride it. As for the emperor, of course
It’s an eight-horse cart!
Although in this dynasty, the emperor had abolished this rule and allowed civilians to ride horse-drawn carriages, generally speaking, people who knew the rules still followed the ancestral system.
If you can see a six-horse carriage in the capital, it must be of a rank above that of a county king.
Zheng Wenxuan also looked towards the carriage. He had arrived early so he was close to the entrance of the school ground, and now the carriage stopped almost not far from him.
The carriage was gifted by the emperor himself. The front and rear of the carriage and the nail caps used on the wheels were engraved with the symbol of the golden phoenix flower. This is a privilege that only princesses can enjoy. Anrong County’s staple food is Princess City, so the carriage gifted by the emperor has
It’s not an exaggeration to wear phoenix flowers.
Zheng Wenxuan's heart suddenly lifted.
It had been a long time since he had seen Fu Mingyu, and he could only feel his heart beating thumpingly. His eyes were fixed on the carriage, for fear that he would miss something.
In the palace before, he could feel that Fu Mingyu liked him, so he didn't think it was anything special. After all, there were many girls who liked him. Fu Mingyu was just the prettiest among them. Although Fu Mingyu was with her at that time
She is with the Queen Mother, but her title is not sealed. In Zheng Wenxuan's view, her status is not much different from that of a palace maid. Moreover, Fu Mingyu is very quiet, and there is no fun in being with her. In contrast, Ding Wanxin, who is a little birdy, is
So much cuter.
Ding Wanxin could cry and laugh, but Fu Mingyu could only nod lightly, just like the beauty carved from wood.
He was the crown prince at that time, so he naturally looked down on Fu Mingyu, who was an orphan like Ding Wanxin even though he was with the Queen Mother.
And now...she has become the princess...
The moment the carriage stopped, Zheng Wenxuan felt as if his heart also stopped beating.
It turns out that what you can’t get is always the best!
And the coldness of Fu Mingyu in his eyes before has now become the nobleness she should be!
The car door opened, and under everyone's attention, a half-year-old boy jumped out of the car!
"Brother Qin! I'm here to take the exam!" He got off the car and looked into the crowd. He saw Hongxiao at a glance, and followed Hongxiao to find Qin Rui accurately.
