I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Kong Xiuyuan, the grandson of Kong Daru, actually came with the person who was delivering the letter.

Moreover, generous gifts were prepared.

Xie Shaohang was very surprised to learn that Kong Xiuyuan was coming. In addition to being delighted, he dragged his still unsteady body to greet him.

When Xie Shaohang saw Kong Xiuyuan from afar, he was shocked by her beauty.

It’s because in the eyes of these students, Kong Xiuyuan is like a genius.

Actually, Kong Xiuyuan is only sixteen years old this year, but he has been taught personally by Mr. Kong since he was young, and his knowledge and vision are incomparable to those ordinary students.

As early as when Kong Xiuyuan was twelve years old, the articles he wrote had already been widely circulated in major academies.

Moreover, in Xie Shaohang's own opinion, even the articles he writes now cannot be compared with the articles Kong Xiuyuan wrote when he was twelve years old.

Now, four years have passed, and because of the deliberate suppression by Mr. Kong, Kong Xiuyuan's articles have never been circulated again.

The outside world speculates that Kong Xiuyuan's literary attainments have now reached a terrifying level.

However, Mr. Kong was afraid that Kong Xiuyuan would become too arrogant after becoming famous at a young age, so for all these years, he never allowed Kong Xiuyuan to take the imperial examination.

Even so, it does not affect Kong Xiuyuan's status in the eyes of all students.

Therefore, when seeing Kong Xiuyuan, Xie Shaohang showed great enthusiasm: "Master Kong, your presence at my humble home really makes it glorious."

Kong Xiuyuan bowed politely, "I came here today to thank your young lady for saving me. My grandfather suddenly fainted that day. If it weren't for your young lady calling for help in time, I'm afraid my grandfather would have died. Later, my grandfather kept urging me to visit him, but I never came because I needed to serve him all the time. Thank you, young master, for your rudeness."

Xie Shaohang was flattered and said in fear, "I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. Master Kong, you are too polite."

"Today, I heard that the young lady was ill, so my grandfather ordered me to come and visit her. I wonder how the young lady is doing now?"

"Thanks to Mr. Kong's concern, my wife's condition has improved greatly now."

Kong Xiuyuan nodded slightly and ordered his attendant to present the gifts he brought: "Thank you, young master. These are the blood swallows, deer antlers and other nourishing things that my grandfather ordered me to bring. They are all gifts from the palace. Madam, you can take them without worry."

Looking at the table filled with gifts brought by Kong Xiuyuan, Xie Shaohang couldn't believe it.

You know, Mr. Kong is a person who doesn't give gifts easily.

Who knew this gift would be so generous?

It was not until this moment that Xie Shaohang truly felt how grateful the Kong family was to Cui Shuyan.

Just as he was thinking about what he should do in return for this favor, he heard Kong Xiuyuan say, "Master Xie, my grandfather heard that you will be taking part in this year's imperial examination, so he specially ordered me to bring his wolf-hair brush to you as a gift. I wish you success and a place on the list of successful candidates!"

After saying that, Kong Xiuyuan handed over the box containing the wolf-hair brushes with both hands.

Xie Shaohang was so excited to receive such a courtesy that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even after sending Kong Xiuyuan away, Xie Shaohang's heart was still pounding.

Madam Xie came over after hearing the news. Looking at the ecstatic Xie Shaohang, she asked in confusion, "Shaohang, isn't it just that the Kong family sent some gifts? Why are you so happy now?"

Xie Shaohang showed the wolf-hair brush in his hand to Madam Xie, and his excitement was beyond words: "Mother, this wolf-hair brush was made by Mr. Kong himself. Do you know what the meaning of Mr. Kong personally giving you the brush is?"

"I don't know."

"In all the previous imperial examinations, there were 17 students who received the calligraphy of Confucius before the examination and all of them won the first place."

Hearing this, Madam Xie's eyes lit up: "Shaohang, do you mean that Mr. Kong thinks highly of you?"

"It may not be impossible. Mr. Kong has read the articles I wrote." As he said this, Xie Shaohang couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

In fact, with his current level, he can only be guaranteed to be on the list. As for the top spot, he dare not even dream of it.

However, looking at the wolf-hair brush in his hand, Xie Shaohang suddenly felt that if he tried harder, he might have a chance to become the top scholar.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with excitement.

In his excitement, he looked at Madam Xie and said, "Mother, you should pay more attention to Shuyan these days. If my son can use her relationship to gain the favor of Mr. Kong, his future will be limitless."

Madam Xie was a little unconvinced: "Can Cui Shuyan have this ability?"

"Mother, look at all these things sent by Master Kong. Which one is not valuable? Moreover, Master Kong is a person who values ​​etiquette the most. Shuyan accidentally saved his life, and he must remember it in his heart. If he can give me some more advice before the exam, I will be able to pass the imperial examination this time."

You have to know that the officials involved in setting the questions all had a close relationship with Confucius, and would even consult Confucius before setting the questions. Therefore, if Confucius gave him a little hint before the exam, he would not be so passive in participating in the imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie also became excited.

It seemed as if I had already seen the scene of Xie Shaohang riding a tall horse, wearing a top scholar hat, and parading through the streets with high spirits.

After calming down, Madam Xie immediately said, "Shaohang, just focus on your studies. Leave the rest to me."

Xie Shaohang bowed to Madam Xie and said, "I, your son, would like to thank you, mother."

"You and I are mother and son, why should I thank you? Shaohang, you should know that I have no selfish motives towards you, and everything I do is for your own good."

"Yeah!" Xie Shaohang nodded heavily and said nothing else.

On the other hand, Cui Shuyan was very moved when she learned that Kong Xiuyuan came in person.

This must have come from the instruction of the great Confucian Confucius.

Kong Daru was such a smart man that he had long seen that she was in a bad situation. He asked Kong Xiuyuan to come here today, naturally with the intention of supporting her.

She arranged this drama just to eliminate the spy that Madam Cui had placed in her courtyard.

I never thought that I would have such an unexpected gain.

After what happened today, I'm afraid Madam Xie and Xie Shaohang will treat her with more courtesy.

It is undoubtedly a great help for what she is doing now.

She had been busy for so long today, and everything was linked together. In addition to wanting to eliminate the spy planted here by Madam Cui, she also wanted to use this opportunity to sow discord between Madam Xie and Madam Cui.

Because, with Mrs. Cui's vengeful nature, she will never let her go.

Since Madam Cui will take action against her sooner or later, it would be better to let Cui Shuyan be the first to take action.

In this way, Mrs. Cui's conspiracy will be exposed to Mrs. Xie.

And right now, Madam Xie would definitely not let anything happen to her.

As a result, conflicts arose between Madam Xie and Madam Cui.

The closer the relationship, the faster it will become distant after a conflict occurs.

The next day, Cui Shuyan went to the Confucius Mansion and when she came back, she brought back the annotations written by Confucius himself.

When she handed over the article annotated by Kong Daru, Lin Xinrou was standing beside Xie Shaohang, grinding ink for him with her sleeves rolled up.

Even after seeing Cui Shuyan, Lin Xinrou gave her a provocative smile.

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly, and with just one sentence, she asked Xie Shaohang to kick Lin Xinrou out personally.
