The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Just as Cui Yuwei and Liu Luping were queuing up, a carriage slowly drove over from a distance.

Sitting in the carriage were Fang Youwei, the eldest son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, his wife Fang, and Fang Ruoruo, who had become the consort of the third prince.

Mrs. Fang held her eldest son's hand and said:

"My son, after years of hard work, you must be admitted today. The prosperity of our Earl's Mansion depends on you."

Fang Youwei had no expression on his face. Facing his mother's admonition, he only said lightly:

"understood."

Having studied in the academy for many years, he did not have a close relationship with his family. Now was the time for his exams, and he was annoyed that Mrs. Fang was crying here, which seemed unlucky.

But due to filial piety, he could not lose his temper with his biological mother and could only respond coldly.

As if she had noticed her son's displeasure, Mrs. Fang calmed down a bit, let go of his hand, turned around and told the servant outside to serve the young master well.

Fang Ruoruo's belly was already showing, she stroked her belly and said to Fang Youwei:

"Brother, I wish you success and a bright future."

Perhaps it was because of the heroine's halo that Fang Youdao was not as cold towards Fang Ruoruo as he was towards his mother. His expression softened a little and he said:

"Take good care of your pregnancy and don't worry too much. I have memorized all the lessons that the teacher taught me and I am confident about this imperial examination. Don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam and gain a firm foothold in the court to pave the way for the child in your belly."

"I was thinking that when he ascends the throne in the future, I, as his uncle, will become a regent and leave my name in history!"

Fang Ruoruo was attracted by the bright prospects Fang Youwei mentioned. She smiled:

"Ruoruo believes in brother."

The time was almost up, Fang Youwei got off the car and walked towards the Imperial Examination Hall with his servant.

Being a child of aristocratic family, he had certain privileges and did not need to queue like other children of common people. So when he arrived, he showed his identity and someone took him inside.

Soon, Fang Youwei passed by Liu Luping and stopped:

"Humph, any random person wants to take the imperial examination. If I were you, and was expelled from the academy for bad behavior, I would have hanged myself to avoid being embarrassed here."

Cui Yuwei had been with Liu Luping for many days and knew Liu Luping's character. He would never believe the claims that he had misbehaved.

Therefore, Cui Yuwei stood up to speak for Liu Luping:

"Brother, what you said is wrong. Brother Liu was wronged, so..."

But before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Liu Luping:

"Brother Cui, there is no need to waste time with this culprit. There is no point in talking any more."

The word "culprit" made Cui Yuwei realize that the person in front of him was the one behind Liu Luping being kicked out of the academy.

So, both of them stopped talking.

Seeing this, Fang Youwei snorted coldly and went forward arrogantly.

Shi Lidie actually came to see them off today, but due to the difference between men and women, she did not appear openly. She just sat in the carriage in the corner and watched them line up.

She must ensure that Liu Luping and Cui Yuwei complete the imperial examination and no accidents can occur.

After all, she still has one move to make.

For the next seven days, Shi Lidie kept a close eye on the situation in the Imperial Examination Hall.

In the first few days, several students were caught cheating and were thrown out of the Imperial College. Cui Yuwei and Liu Luping were not among them. With their knowledge and character, they naturally disdained to do such a thing.

In the following days, some students in poor health could not hold on any longer and fainted in the examination room. The chief examiner ordered them to be carried out to see a doctor, and thus they lost the qualification to continue the examination.

Apart from that, nothing special happened.

Seven days later, Liu Luping and Cui Yuwei successfully completed the imperial examination.

When they walked out of the academy, their steps were unsteady, their bodies were staggering, their eyes were dark and their faces were pale. It was obvious that they had suffered greatly in the Imperial Examination Hall during the past seven days.

The Liu couple met them at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. As soon as they came out, they immediately helped them into the carriage and took them to the tavern.

Hot water and food had already been prepared in the tavern. The two took a shower, changed into clean clothes, had a delicious meal, and then went to bed.

After the exam, you don’t have to worry about anything else, just take good care of your body and restore your strength.

Because only with a good body can you plan for the long term. After all, once the results are announced, it means you have one foot in the officialdom.

***

In the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion, Fang Zhenghua was also asking Fang Youwei:

"How did it feel this time?"

"I can pass." Fang Youwei was very confident. "Father, the teachers in the academy have explained the questions for this exam. Although they didn't explain it in depth, I am familiar with it. Whether it's solving the questions or the strategies, I don't think I missed anything."

Seeing Fang Youwei so confident, Fang Zhenghua finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Well, you are worthy of being my good son. Our Earl's Mansion of Loyalty and Bravery can finally turn things around."

Some time ago, the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion made a lot of jokes and lost a lot of face, but soon all these things will become a thing of the past as Fang Youwei graduates from high school.

After all, the children of the powerful in the capital either inherited the title of Mengyin or inherited the family business. There were only a handful of people like Fang Youwei who gave up the military connections of the Earl's Mansion and took the path of a civil servant and succeeded in the imperial examinations.

So far, he is just Qi Jingze from Ningyang Marquis Mansion, and he is not even considered a member of Ningyang Marquis Mansion.

For the next period of time, the atmosphere in the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was very relaxed.

They are all waiting for the day when the results will be announced.

half a month later.

The time for the announcement of the results finally arrived. Many people had already arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. They were shoulder to shoulder and squeezed forward, fearing that they would not be able to see the list on the wall.

When Liu Luping and Cui Yuwei arrived, they saw so many people and could not squeeze in, so they could only follow at the end of the crowd.

Soon, an official appeared with a gong in his hand. He beat the gong to ask everyone to be quiet while maintaining order and avoiding crowding. Then someone posted the list on the wall of the Imperial Examination Hall.

There was a long list of names, with nearly two hundred admission places, and densely written black words.

There were people standing at the back, jumping and pushing forward:

"It's too far, I can't see it at all!"

"Make way, make way, those in front please move quickly and make way for us behind you!"

"Quick, who's at the top of this year's list? I've placed a bet at Le Kang Casino, tell me now!"

"It must be the outstanding students from several academies in the capital competing for the top spot!"

"..."

The crowd was noisy and they could neither see nor hear anything. Cui Yuwei and Liu Luping discussed whether they should go back and wait for the crowd to disperse before going back. But before they made a decision, they heard someone in the crowd shout:

"The first place in the first class, Liu Luping? Is Liu Luping here? You are the top scholar!"

These words, like a loudspeaker, penetrated through the noise and fell into the ears of Liu Luping and Cui Yuwei.

At some point, the crowd quieted down and everyone looked around, trying to see who this Liu Luping was.

Cui Yuwei was overjoyed, even more excited than when he got the top score in the imperial examination:

"Brother Liu! It's you! You are the top scholar!"
