Transformed into the control group, relying on the spiritual spring space to feed four children

Wan Dongling and others did not leave, and stayed in Bugu County with Yang Mu waiting for the announcement.

On the day when the college entrance examination results were announced, good news came one after another.

All the inns were bustling with activity. The person who brought the good news came to the inn where Wan Dongling was and told them the good news.

"Send the good news to the students of Wan Dongling Middle School in Xiahe Town!"

"Send the good news to Yang Muzhong, a student from Xiahe Town!"

Everyone came to congratulate him, but Yang Mu was the only one who frowned. He didn't expect Wan Dongling to not be the first in the college exam? Not the third place?

He bowed to the fortune teller who came to report the good news: "Excuse me, what are our rankings in the college entrance examination?"

The man was very friendly to the two newly minted scholars, "Yes, you were second in the college examination, and this girl was third."

After saying congratulations again, he left to pass on the message somewhere else.

After the college entrance examination, Yang Mu once asked Wan Dongling what her question was about and what the five-character six-rhyme poem was about. After she told him, Yang Mu felt that she was the first in the college entrance examination this year. Now she said that there was not even a second place, but a third place?

Yang Mu sat in the inn and pounded the table with his hand: "There is something fishy going on! There is definitely something fishy going on!"

Wan Dongling felt a little disappointed, but passing the examination for a scholar was only the first step, and the subsequent provincial examination was more important.

Xiang Yun touched Wan Dongling's head and said, "It seems that someone doesn't want you to get first place. Have you offended anyone in Bugu County?"

Wan Dongling shook her head. She rarely left Chunxing Village on weekdays, so how could she offend anyone in Bugu County?

Yang Mu ran out to inquire about the essay written by the first place in the college examination. After a while, he came back angrily with a piece of paper with an essay on it that was not yet dry in ink: "Sister Xiangyun, look, this is the first place essay. If you say it ranks ahead of me, then I admit it. But how can this compare with Dong Ling's essay?"

Xiangyun took a look and found that there was indeed a gap.

It seemed that someone was really interfering. This person was really bold, daring to do something so blatantly.

After thinking for a while, she wrote a letter to Wen Yan, asking her if she had made any enemies or anything like that, and also told her about Wan Dongling's college entrance examination results.

The little gray bird flew away with the letter and came back the next morning, exhausted and out of breath.

It flew into the window and stood on the table to drink water from the teacup, making a tiny sound.

Xiang Yun rubbed its head, untied the letter, and smiled after reading it: "So these things happened before, no wonder... I remember that the chief examiner of the college examination seemed to be a man named Wang."

Xiang Yun went out early in the morning, and when he came back, Wan Dongling and Yang Mu were already waiting for him in the carriage.

Seeing her gloating smile, Wan Dongling couldn't help but ask, "Did your mother ask you to do something?"

Xiang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you know?"

Wan Dongling pulled out a sleeping little gray bird from her sleeve. "It usually stands on my shoulder, but today it is sleeping soundly."

"That's right. Your mother said that this old man surnamed Wang dared to do such a shameless thing. She will teach him a lesson for you."

Wan Dongling knew that the man surnamed Wang she was talking about was the chief examiner Wang Tao. However, the other party was in a high position and had great power, so they could not teach him a lesson at all.

The expression on his face was one of obvious worry.

Xiang Yun rubbed her little head and jumped onto the carriage with a very agile posture. "Don't worry, we are not going to attack head-on."

Wan Dongling was a little confused.

But soon, she knew what Xiangyun meant.

On the way out of Bugu County, many candidates had not yet left, and the crowd's discussions were loud and could be heard through the carriage.

“How could this third-place essay be so well-written?”

"That's right. When you compare these articles together, you can tell which is better! The third article is clearly better."

"Then why did she only get third place? I heard that she always ranked first in the county exam and her score in the imperial exam was not bad either. She almost got the third place. What a pity..."

"I don't know what's wrong with the writing, it can't be because she's a woman..."

The voices of discussion gradually faded away, and the carriage drove away from Cuckoo County.

Wan Dongling had a complicated expression. According to her, it would be a very unwise move to confront the Wang family now.

But her mother's way of weighing the pros and cons is different from hers.

Xiang Yun could see that she had some concerns in her heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you think your mother is wrong?"

Wan Dongling shook her head. "That's not the case. I just think that mother doesn't have to do this for me. It's just the college entrance examination. Besides, I already knew that women would encounter many difficulties in the imperial examination..."

Xiang Yun was slightly stunned. This child actually thought this way. Her eyes gradually softened. "But as a mother, how can I let my child suffer injustice? You let Wen Yan do nothing, which makes her even more unhappy."

After hearing her say this, Wan Dongling stopped hesitating and secretly made up her mind that next time she would take the first place with an absolute advantage!

As the rumors about Bugu County spread, many people suspected that the invigilator was biased.

As autumn approached, these rumors became more and more popular, and some people even dug up the rumor that the Wang family wanted a third person to be arranged for a ghost marriage.

There is no way to verify this statement, but everyone believes that such a thing would definitely not come out of nowhere.

...

The weather in the capital has started to get cooler in September, but the air is still filled with the hustle and bustle of life.

The reason is simple. Princess Zhaoyang is getting married today, and the prince consort wants to ride a BMW around the capital city.

The princess's mansion even prepared a lot of copper coins, wrapped them in red paper, and distributed them along the way to everyone who saw them.

The entire capital city was shocked and rushed over to watch.

Wan Xiaqing disguised herself and was extremely nervous in the house. She was very confused. In fact, she had roughly guessed that the man who got married outside must be her biological father.

But she still didn't want to face this reality.

After taking a deep breath, Wan Xiaqing walked out. The street was crowded with people, and Wan Xiaqing stood at the back of the crowd.

"I'm coming!"

The person standing in front suddenly shouted, "The team is coming!"

"The Prince Consort is indeed handsome, otherwise the princess wouldn't be so devoted to him."

"Of course not. The prince consort is not only handsome, but also very kind to the princess! I heard that no matter what the princess is unhappy about, the prince consort will always stay with her until she gets better."

The red team slowly approached. On the tall horses was a man wearing a red wedding dress with a hydrangea hanging on his chest. His face looked to be only in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he showed the satisfaction of being pampered and in a high position.

Although the temperament is different, this face is clearly her father's.

As the team passed by, the maids in front and behind handed out red envelopes one by one, "Everyone gets one, take it for good luck!"

The red envelope was stuffed into Wan Xiaqing's hand. He pressed it slightly and could feel a few copper coins inside.

Wan Xiaqing left the team and returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

In the afternoon, Ye Qinghuai came and found her sleeping. "Why don't you even cover yourself with a blanket?"

Looking again, I found that her cheeks were red.

Ye Qinghuai frowned, reached out and touched her forehead, "Why do you have a fever?"

Wan Xiaqing finally woke up, and a tear slowly fell from the corner of her eye, "Brother Qinghuai, he is really my father."

Ye Qinghuai looked at her, her lips were cracked and her voice was hoarse, still thinking about this matter, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's time to give up now. You still have to protect your mother, and you still want to become a general, right?"

Wan Xiaqing curled up in bed and nodded.

From now on, she only has her mother.
