A tough little husband

The busy day was all worth it because the profits were quite considerable. Han Zeyu suggested that they stay here for a few more days so that they could go back with Su Yunsong. After all, there were not many opportunities to make a profit.

Han Zecang hadn't had any income for a long time since he lost his job. Today, it was a rare opportunity for him to see some return money from his elder brother, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

Tiezhu also received the first reward in his life. This was silver, not copper coins. Woo woo woo, his master was so good to him. He was willing to go through fire and water for his master.

Han Zeyu sighed, his hands behind his back: "When a man is poor, his ambition is short; when a horse is thin, its hair grows long. Money may not be everything, but without money, nothing can be done."

Su Shien nodded, not knowing what to say. Other people's way of winning people's hearts was to win their hearts, but his Yu Ge'er didn't play tricks and just used money to buy them off.

Facts have proved that the effect is quite significant. For example, the fool who has followed him for many years was assigned to his courtyard just because he was too stupid. Now he probably only has his master in his eyes, and it doesn’t matter who the young master is.

The art of controlling others is indeed a profound science, but when you have absolute strength or sufficient capital, controlling others becomes a simple matter.

A night without words...

Today is the day when the college entrance examination results are announced. Su Yunsong knows that he will definitely pass, but he is very worried about his ranking.

After all, he is young and can't hide things in his heart, so he no longer maintains his usual mature demeanor.

Su Yunsong woke up early and lay in bed until the rooster crowed. He sat up suddenly and planned to go find his elder brother to check the list together.

But then I think about my elder brother's recent condition, I'm afraid his chances of passing the exam are slim. If he rushes over now, will it cause the other party to be disgusted and think that he is showing off?

When Su Yunsong went out, he took another look at the closed door opposite, but in the end he didn't knock.

Han Zeyu and his friends went to the Imperial Examination Hall after breakfast, because there was no point in going too early. For example, Su Yunsong and his friends left home an hour earlier, but the results haven't been announced yet!

Those who have servants let them rush into the crowd to fight, while those who don’t have servants will go into battle themselves. The results will just be announced, and no one knows how many shoes will be stepped on.

Tiezhu rushed into the crowd with his fists rubbed, and his big body was unstoppable.

Han Zeyu asked doubtfully, "Does Tiezhu know how to read? Does he know how to write your name?"

Su Shien confirmed: "He can recognize characters, but he can't write well. He makes a lot of typos and often misses strokes."

Han Zeyu made another note about Tiezhu in his little notebook. This kid's background was a mystery. He might be a descendant of a royal family or a descendant of a noble family.

The concubines in the harem competed for favor and staged a cat-for-prince substitution.

The emperor seized the military power, causing the only child in the general's mansion to be stranded outside.

Chasing his wife to the crematorium, the marquis' substitute concubine ran away with the baby.

The Prince Regent had a one-night stand with the pretty guard...

Stop, cross out the last one. They can't have children even if they have sex.

Han Zeyu was very excited thinking that he might have saved a big shot.

Su Shien heard her husband mumbling some outrageous remarks, and silently moved towards the door, looking around to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

Han Zeyu patted her husband's shoulder and told him to calm down. With his keen five senses, if someone really approached, he would have discovered it long ago.

Su Shien sighed and asked Yuger in a low voice, what if there is a big problem with Tiezhu's background, which will bring him fatal disaster?

Han Zeyu said as a matter of course: "Dig a big hole and bury them all. It's not a big deal. Then plant plum trees on the land. The fruits will be absolutely sweet."

There is a saying: "Peaches nourish people, apricots harm people, and dead people are buried under plum trees."

This means that peaches are nourishing to humans, eating too many apricots will cause internal heat, nosebleeds, and mouth sores, and eating too many plums may cause serious health problems and even be life-threatening.

Su Shien decided not to eat plums anymore, as he was afraid of the psychological trauma...

The gong sounded, and the official who announced the results arrived. Everyone rushed forward and squeezed even harder.

The officers were used to this kind of scene, so they calmly began to post the list.

The list was posted from back to front according to ranking, with seventy names densely written on a piece of red paper.

When Tiezhu squeezed to the front, the official was posting the third list. Tiezhu turned his head and happened to see his young master's name and hometown on the second list.

After confirming it several times, Tiezhu squeezed back happily. His young master had passed the imperial examination and he had to go back quickly to announce the good news.

Su Shien and his wife were guessing Su Yunsong's name when they heard Tiezhu shout, "Got it! Got it! Young Master, you've passed the exam and became a scholar!"

Su Shien smiled. After all, the three years and Yu Ge'er's expectations were not wasted.

He passed the examination for the title of scholar, and officially entered the scholar-official class. He was exempted from military service, corvee labor, and land tax, and enjoyed privileges such as not having to kneel when meeting officials.

Han Zeyu asked Tiezhu, what place did Su Shien get in the exam?

Tiezhu was petrified and mumbled, "I, I only saw the young master's name and hometown on the second page. I forgot to look at the ranking."

Han Zeyu was speechless. With this big idiot's IQ, if he became the crown prince, this country would have no future.

Tiezhu felt very guilty, but Su Shien didn't mind and comforted Tiezhu: "It's not a big deal, just know that it's on the second page."

Han Zeyu was curious: "How many are there?"

Su Shien said casually, "It should be between 160th and 230th place, right in the middle and lower reaches of the ranking. It's good enough without attracting attention. It's pretty good."

After the four pieces of red paper were pasted, there were only twenty names on the remaining piece of paper, and the font was much more eye-catching.

The top ten scores of this academy examination were called out by officials, which was full of ritual sense.

The candidates whose names were called would give a red envelope to the official to pray for good luck.

Su Yunsong and others were waiting on the periphery, unable to see their own ranking at all. The servant was also useless, as he had not yet reached the front to see the list.

When he heard the words "Su Yunsong of Qingshan County" from the official's mouth, his heart was pounding like a drum. Fortunately, this ranking was very good.

I ranked tenth in the college entrance examination. I believe this ranking will satisfy my mother.

Su Yunsong, feeling relieved, felt a little weak in the knees. The driver helped him sit aside, then went over to deliver the red envelope to the official on behalf of the young master.

They were all young talents, and the officials would not be stupid enough to offend them. They congratulated them sincerely and happily accepted the red envelope.

The servant, sweating profusely and disheveled, ran out to tell the young master the good news. However, he found that he was a step too late and immediately begged for mercy, saying that it was all his fault that he was useless and had not done his job well.

Su Yunsong did not blame the servant, he was in a good mood now!
