Three days passed quickly. On the day the exam ended, Liu Lanyan and Qin Zhongwan came to pick up Qin Zhongxun.

Many people were already waiting outside the Gongyuan, all coming to pick up their children.

Some people came out holding on to the wall, walked two steps and sat on the steps to gasp for air. Some people walked out quickly, then ran to the side to vomit, their faces sallow, and some were carried out directly.

Liu Lanyan stepped forward from time to time and looked inside the door, her face full of worry.

Finally, Qin Zhongxun was seen.

His face was pale, and there were obvious bruises under his eyes. He walked very busily and his steps were weak and weak. These three days had really exhausted all his energy.

"Xun'er."

"Big brother."

Liu Lanyan and Qin Zhongwan quickly stepped forward to help him and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Qin Zhongxun was extremely tired, but he still forced a smile: "Mom, Wan'er, I'm fine."

"Stop talking and get in the carriage quickly. Let's go back and rest."

Liu Lanyan looked at his chapped lips and couldn't help but feel distressed again. She helped him into the carriage and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After dinner, Qin Zhongxun fell asleep directly and did not wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

After replenishing his energy, he did not relax.

If he can be named on the gold list, there will be a more important palace examination waiting for him later.

On the day when the results were released, the whole family was waiting anxiously in the front hall. Liu Lanyan and Qin Zhongyang were really anxious and looked at the door from time to time.

Qin Zhongyang wanted to see the list by himself, but Liu Lanyan was afraid that he would have a conflict with someone outside, so she kept him in the house.

Qin Xiaoyun was also a little nervous, but she was just pretending.

She didn't have a deep friendship with this eldest brother, and she felt that Qin Zhongxun's heart had already turned to Qin Zhongwan, so there was no need to care.

The only ones who were relaxed were Qin Zhongwan and Qin Zhongxun.

Qin Zhongwan knew the result. Qin Zhongxun would be the number one scholar in the future, so there was no doubt that he would be on the list.

Qin Zhongxun, as for Qin Zhongxun, didn't know whether he was confident or indifferent, he didn't have much expression on his face.

"Passed the exam! Congratulations, young master, for being named on the gold list!"

The boy who had gone out to look at the results came back with a happy face. The boy who had just walked in loudly announced the good news: "Young Master is in high school!"

"real!"

Liu Lanyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then her face was filled with joy.

"How many were hit?"

Liu Lanyan asked.

The boy congratulated: "Congratulations, young master, for ranking first in high school!"

"Great."

Liu Lanyan cried with joy and took Qin Zhongxun's hand: "Xun'er, thank you for your hard work."

"Mom, I'm not working hard."

Qin Zhongxun comforted Liu Lanyan, and his tense spirit relaxed.

Although he looks calm and calm on the outside, he is also very concerned about his grades in his heart.

The eldest young master ranked first in high school, and the Prime Minister's house was filled with joy and joy. All the servants and maids in the house were rewarded.

Qin Jingguo also rarely laughed, and patted Qin Zhongxun on the shoulder happily, telling him not to relax, as the next palace examination was the most important thing.

After celebrating for two days, Wang Ling came to visit.

Originally, he wanted to go shopping with Qin Zhongwan, but Qin Zhongwan was worried that the people would spread rumors again, so he invited people to his home.

"I went to visit the General's Mansion two days ago. Guess what Miss Chu asked me."

Wang Ling and Qin Zhongwan were very familiar with each other, and she felt no restraint in pouring tea by herself.

"What did you say?"

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Qin Zhongwan asked calmly.

"She asked me, if Mr. Qin is the top scholar in high school, will he be attracted by a princess or something like that while parading in the street, and then break off the engagement with her and marry someone else, as the storybook says."

Wang Ling couldn't help laughing when she talked about this: "I said she was overthinking it. The princess of the right age in the palace has already married far away, and it is impossible for the princess to do so. No one will compete with her for her husband."

Qin Zhongwan also chuckled, and then asked: "When did Sister Chu start reading story books? She never likes these."

Chu Changying has a free and easy personality. He had said before that he didn't like reading, but now he started reading storybooks.

"She said that when you get married, you can't remain ignorant. She wanted to learn how the bride in the storybook got along with her husband's family, but she was led astray."

Wang Ling sighed regretfully: "It's inappropriate to say something, but I'm still sorry. Miss Chu has a free and straightforward temperament. If she enters the back house, her sharp edge will probably be worn away."

"Yes."

Qin Zhongwan understood what she meant and was not angry: "I also like that Sister Chu can keep her heart."

This way you can always be happy.

----

Soon it was time to take part in the palace examination. Qin Zhongxun lived up to expectations and was praised by the emperor for his talent and designated as the number one scholar.

Qin Jingguo nodded with satisfaction and politely greeted his colleagues who came over to congratulate him.

Someone from General Chu's side also congratulated him. The new champion was his son-in-law, and he would be proud of it if he told it.

Chu Xiao felt a little awkward. Not long ago, he and Qin Jingguo were having trouble in the imperial study room, but now they were being complimented together.

Although he did not agree with some of Qin Jingguo's ideas, he had to admit that Qin Zhongxun had real talents.

He seems to be down-to-earth and steady, and his daughter will not be wronged after she gets married.

Coincidentally, the emperor also mentioned this matter. When asked about the wedding date, Qin Jingguo said that it would be in two months. The emperor squinted and nodded, not knowing what decision he had made.
