After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Chapter 157 3 yuan and the first

Not long after, Qin Shijun and Li Jichang came to the door together.

Seeing Wang Weiyuan, he patted his shoulders and praised him repeatedly: "Ayuan is truly a man of great talent and learning. This time he surpassed everyone else and actually made you a member. Congratulations!"

"Thanks to the kindness of all my fellow students, I was lucky enough to be admitted this time."

Wang Weiyuan was polite and modest. He glanced at the two people who were also beaming with joy. He knew what was going on. "You two look so happy, you must have made the list. That's great. I want to congratulate you two as well."

After saying this, he bowed to the two men. Seeing him like this, the two men hurriedly bowed to him in return.

Qin Shijun smiled and said, "Ji Chang ranked 15th in the second class this time, and I ranked 8th in the second class. Although I can't compare with A Yuan, my family is also very happy."

"You and I have studied hard for decades, and today we are finally proud of ourselves. This is a joyous occasion, and our family should be happy too. Let's go to the study and chat."

As Wang Weiyuan spoke, he led the two of them towards the front yard.

The ninth day of March is the day of the palace examination.

After a hard day, Wang Weiyuan returned with confidence and told Jinchu only four words: "Wait for good news."

Jin Chu knew that this time it was definitely a sure thing!

Three days later, Wang Weiyuan finally received his new title of top scholar and was personally appointed by the Emperor as a sixth-rank cook in the Hanlin Academy. Once his family affairs were settled, he would immediately take up his position in the Hanlin Academy.

It is rare to find a top scholar, and it is even rarer to find such a young and handsome top scholar. There are not many scholars in this dynasty who are so young and handsome and have also won the top three places in the imperial examination.

For a moment, everyone looked at Wang Weiyuan with various expressions, from envy, admiration and respect, which finally turned into blessings, whether true or false.

At this point, Wang Weiyuan became famous, not only in the calligraphy and painting circles, but also in the literary circle.

Jinchu saw that everything was settled, so he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Huizhen again.

Thinking that Wang Weiyuan would certainly write to his family to inform them of the details and would naturally make arrangements for his parents, Jinchu did not say too much in the letter. He simply reported the good news and then talked to Huizhen about the business of the cosmetics business.

After writing this letter, she tilted her head to think for a while, and then wrote another letter to Su Cheng'an.

The whole court knew about Wang Weiyuan's success in the imperial examinations, so she did not avoid talking about it. She wrote about this news as well, and at the end she still asked her if her third brother had been found.

After writing the two letters and sending them out separately, Jin Chu started to devote herself to the business of making money by selling cosmetics again.

At the same time, in the Jingchuan Marquis Mansion, the three most distinguished people in the mansion, Madam Ji, the Marquis and his wife, were sitting in the hall with different expressions.

"Are you serious? Our Qing'er has been found?"

Madam Ji, whose hair had mostly turned white, had a look of surprise on her gentle face, and her eyes were fixed on her son and daughter-in-law in front of her.

Jingchuan Marquis Zhao Wenyan looked at his mother and said with a smile, "Mother, we really have found Qing'er. If we weren't certain, how could we dare to disturb you? If you don't believe me, you can ask Suxin."

Madam Qin Suxin hurriedly nodded to her mother-in-law.

Looking at the couple's affirmative eyes, the lady fell into memories of the past.

Ever since she handed over the household affairs of the mansion to her daughter-in-law Qin ten years ago, Madam Ji has no longer been in charge of affairs and has retired behind the scenes to live a life of enjoying her grandchildren.

In addition to Zhao Wenyan, the eldest son of the Marquis, she also has two sons and one daughter, so naturally she has many children and grandchildren.

But even she couldn't help but feel sorry that the disappearance of that precocious eldest grandson had indeed brought great trauma to the mansion.

Even though these grandchildren were always by her side, she had to admit that compared to the eldest grandson with whom she had a rare fate, none of her grandchildren were as smart as her.

Now that her son and daughter-in-law have found that smart child, the lady is naturally very happy.

But thinking back on how time flies, seventeen years have already passed, and the child is now eighteen years old. I wonder how he's been living out there, and what he's become. If he's a good person, that's fine, but if he's just a penniless farmer, how can he control this huge mansion?

Thinking of this, the joy on the lady's face turned into a bit of worry.

After a while, she asked, "What does the child do now? How is his life? Where is he now?"

When this was mentioned, the Marquis and his wife looked at each other, and in addition to joy, there was also a bit of worry in their eyes.

What makes them happy is that Qing'er is so successful, but what makes them annoyed is also the same reason. With Qing'er being so successful, how can the Marquis' Mansion ask the parents in Lincheng for their son?

This expression, in the eyes of the Madam, turned into the situation she least wanted to see. Her face changed immediately, and her voice tightened as she asked, "Could it be that the child is in a very bad shape now?"

Seeing the old lady so nervous, Zhao Wenyan hurried to comfort her: "Don't worry, mother, Qing'er is fine."

He let out a wry smile and sighed, "It's a pity that he's too good! So good that Su Xin and I don't even have the nerve to ask his adoptive parents for him. Qing'er is the top scholar of this year's imperial examination at the age of eighteen, and one of the few top scholars in our Great Jin who has even passed the imperial examination!"

The old lady was completely stunned, muttering, "This child has actually become so outstanding that he has even overshadowed his great-grandfather!"

Three days later in Lincheng, the Wang couple, having received their son's handwritten letter, were filled with tears. Hui Zhenniang kept muttering, "Ayuan is truly remarkable! Your Wang family is truly blessed to have produced a man who achieved both the Third Place and the First Place in the Imperial Examinations! This is even worthy of a family tree!"

Huizhen's father was also grinning from ear to ear, and he didn't forget to urge: "His mother, hurry up and pack your things. Our family of five will go to the capital to celebrate for Yuan'er."

Five days later, Su Cheng'an opened Jin Chu's letter with a smile.

When he read the news that Wang Weiyuan had won the top three places in the imperial examination in a nonchalant tone, the eyes of Prince Dingbei darkened visibly, and the letter in his hand tightened involuntarily.

Although he knew very well that Ajin had no love for the man surnamed Wang, Su Cheng'an still couldn't suppress his irritation when he saw Ajin mention that man in the letter.

It cannot be denied that the man is very outstanding. In addition, the man has been with Ajin for a long time. Although Ajin has never fallen in love with him, there is no guarantee that he will not fall in love with Ajin.

But I am thousands of miles away and can't do anything I want, while others are close to me and have the advantage everywhere.

Moreover, Ajin's feelings for him were not as strong as his feelings for her, and Wang Weiyuan was already a new upstart in the court, a handsome young man who had passed the imperial examinations and had a promising future.

If he really pursues Ajin relentlessly, what chances would he have of winning, as he seems noble but is actually an enemy of the emperor?

The Prince of Dingbei, who has always been calm and meticulous, fell into anxiety and uneasiness because of a casual remark made by the girl he loved.

He was so uneasy that he didn't calm down until he saw Jin Chu asking about her third brother again.

After reviewing the recent news about Ye Jinxuan in his mind, he sat down at his desk and began to write his reply.
