Spring Drunk Chang'an

The prince personally sent her off!!

I've been to so many Huichunliyuans, but this is the first time I've been treated like this.

Liu Changan was really flattered. "No, no, Your Highness, please go back quickly. Don't you have official business? I, I can go on my own."

What are you giving as a gift?

Very scary.

She quickly declined.

"It's a matter of etiquette." Xiao Chuo touched her nose uncomfortably, suppressed her shyness, and acted calmly, "Let's go."

"I'll watch you go."

"Oh……"

Liu Changan scratched his head.

Giving it to her as a gift? Really? Didn't he do that before?

Liu Changan left, feeling both amused and helpless.

She also left some snacks.

She returned to the main courtyard, completed her assignment, and then went back to work. Time passed in the blink of an eye.

A few days passed and the imperial examination for Jinshi was about to end.

Song released Liu Changan from his mission and said, "Go home and accompany your parents to pick up Wang'er."

Rong Cui, Gui Yuan and others also sent their blessings.

However, not many people, including the Song family, think that Liu Wanger can pass the exam.

He had been in school for too short a time, only a little over a year at most. He had been serving the second young master in the mansion before, and I hadn't seen him be very smart.

So many young masters of noble families and sons of officials have studied hard for more than ten years, spent their whole lives studying for the classics, and even when they were in their seventies or eighties, they still couldn't pass the imperial examination.

How could Liu Wang'er, a fifteen-year-old boy, have the ability to pass the exam in just one subject?

It’s not like Wenquxing has descended to earth.

In the Ningguo Mansion, except for the people in the main courtyard, the rest... no matter whether they were masters or servants, looked at his participation in the imperial examination as if it were a joke. Even Old Lady Lai said this to Liu Qingru and Aunt Lai in private.

"Your foundation is shallow, your experience is limited. Is the imperial examination really that easy? Just by chance, you passed and became a juren, yet you become arrogant and think that everything is possible?"

"Is he worthy of participating?"

"How ridiculous! He doesn't know the principle of accumulating strength and then making a breakthrough, and proceeding steadily to achieve long-term success. Now he's arrogantly taking the exam, but after a few failures, his spirit has been lost. What's more, he's been locked up in the cell for nine days, and Liu Wang'er has been weak since childhood. If he dies in there, the little smoke above his family's ancestral grave will be completely dissipated."

"Having a scholar in my family is a blessing earned through hundreds of lifetimes!"

Old Mrs. Lai's words were one part conciliatory and nine parts harsh.

The great prince Liu Wenbai did not take part in the imperial examination this year, but Liu Wanger, a "servant", went instead.

As the master, how could Mrs. Lai be happy?

She subconsciously overlooked the fact that Liu Wang'er had already been declassified. After all, for the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, whether her daughter-in-law brought a child with her as a servant or not, whether he was a slave or not, was not a big deal.

Old Mrs. Lai treated him as a slave and didn't look at him with any respect.

"Old lady, they are born as servants and come from a small family. They have limited vision and are just like that. How could they understand the principle of keeping a low profile?" Aunt Lai chuckled and advised.

"I can never compare to the old lady's insight."

Liu Qingru pinched her waist and snorted, "Grandmother, what do you mean by 'a scholar raised in that family'? Liu Wang'er, a mere lackey, was clearly raised in our mansion. He only gained this talent and knowledge thanks to the blessing of his second brother and the help of our teacher."

"If you ask me, when he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar or a juren, he should have kneeled down at his second brother's feet and kowtowed to him several times."

"That family has forgotten their roots and has no gratitude at all. We've really raised an ungrateful family."

The conversation between the three people was not kept secret, so it easily spread outside Rongxiyuan and reached the ears of the servants in the mansion. They also talked about it and spread rumors.

There were people who were jealous of Wang'er and they specifically passed the message to Liu Chang'an.

Liu Changan: ...

He didn't take it seriously at all.

In her past life, she had heard countless more vicious and harsh words. How could this be any better?

No impact at all, okay?

She even wanted to personally teach Old Lady Lai how to be a hermaphrodite in order to achieve a better effect?

What's the point of something like this that doesn't hurt?

Liu Changan didn't care at all.

Song was very angry. She had already regarded Liu Changan as a close junior. Even if she was not her biological daughter, her status was at least similar to Song Zhinian.

Liu Wang'er is Liu Chang'an's younger brother. If he becomes successful, it will be of great benefit to Liu Chang'an's future.

Can the brother of an official be the same as the brother of a commoner?

In the entire mansion, apart from the Crown Prince, she was the first one who hoped that Liu Wang'er would pass the exam.

Uh……

Liu Ai, Liu Laishun and others said that the event was exciting, but in fact they did not hold much hope in their hearts.

After all, Wang'er started school too late.

Only Mrs. Song, who knew about Liu Wang'er's talent for studying from her brother Song Chengji, had high hopes for him. As a result, the whole house was in an uproar, and the gossip even reached her.

Song was furious and severely punished the servants who gossiped and had bad manners.

Of course, she didn't say it was because of Liu Wang'er. Instead, she used the incident of Liu Wenbai's 'diarrhea' to forbid the family from mentioning the 'imperial examination'. This made the servants who were fined their monthly wages and beaten with sticks very resentful towards Liu Wenbai.

It kills two birds with one stone.

On the eighth day of the imperial examination, Liu Changan got a day off. When he returned to Ju Ning Alley, the mansion was as quiet as a chicken and no one dared to mention the word "imperial examination" anymore.

Liu Laishun and Liu Ai came to the main courtyard to express their gratitude.

The couple took Liu Changan home. Regardless of how the family was happy and how they got together, they had a good night's sleep. The next morning, the four of them got up early, had a quick breakfast, and then went to the door of the cell to "wait."

They waited for a long, long time...

It was not until noon that the rooms were opened, and many candidates came out staggeringly, looking dry and dry like bacon that had been hanging on the beams for half a year.

Their faces were full of green.

There was a faint smell of sourness all over his body.

The autumn in northern Beijing is still very hot and humid. It is impossible not to smell after being stuck in a small, sweaty room for nine whole days.

Liu Wang'er was a little late in 'floating' out of the cell. He was too young, and his body... even if he trained harder, it still wouldn't work out - when he was little, he suffered a lot, got beaten, and was mentally tortured by Liu Wenrui!

It makes his physical foundation very weak.

He had been in the cell for nine days, feeling like he was dying. When he was writing furiously, he was supported by an excited spirit. Now that the exam was over, he relaxed a little.

When the Liu family picked him up, he didn't even say a few words before he fell asleep leaning on Liu Laishun's shoulder!

Liu Sanxi, “…”

"Dad, Mom, is my second brother asleep? Or is he in a coma?"

"Why can't I wake him up?"

She poked Liu Wang'er's arm, hesitated, and then poked his butt.

Liu Wang'er didn't move.

"Why don't you take him to see a doctor? He's a bit scary!!"

"Uh……"

Liu Laishun and Liu Ai looked at each other. After a while, the couple carried Liu Wanger on their backs, turned around together, and strode towards Tongrentang.

Seeing this, Liu Changan pulled his sister and quickly chased after him~~
