After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Chapter 15 The Eve of the Scientific Expedition

"What kind of insight is that? Isn't this just trying to smooth things over?" Sheng Rulan muttered with a hint of unhappiness on her face.

"Fifth Miss, are you saying that I'm trying to smooth things over?" Han Ming walked up to her with a smile, which made everyone look at him in a state of confusion.

"Brother Jingyuan, what are you talking about? I didn't say that." Rulan refused to admit that she said that.

"That's good. I thought Fifth Miss had something against me." Han Ming continued to tease Sheng Rulan.

"Jingyuan, please forgive my fifth sister. Let's go." Sheng Changbai pulled Han Ming away helplessly, leaving Sheng Rulan pouting and muttering something.

In the alleys outside the Sheng Mansion, Yong Zeng was tidying up the carriage, waiting for his young master to finish his conversation and return home.

"Have you seen your sixth sister's insights today?" Han Ming chatted with Sheng Changbai with a smile.

"Don't act like you and Sixth Sister are very familiar with each other, okay?" Sheng Changbai took the basket of snacks from the servant and handed it to Han Ming.

"Yoho? You're still not convinced, huh? Your Sixth Sister has always had plans in mind, but she never says them out loud. You have to admit that, right?"

"I'm not denying it. I just think that you know Sixth Sister better than my family does." Sheng Changbai looked at Han Ming with suspicion.

"Stop talking nonsense. You're treating us to drinks at Fanlou tonight. Don't forget." Han Mingti left with the box of snacks.

"Oh, Jingyuan..." Sheng Changbai smiled helplessly.

. . . . . .

Winter goes and spring comes, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the new year. This year is the time for the imperial examination, because it is in spring, it is also called the Spring Examination.

At this time, the entire city of Bianjing was caught in an atmosphere of anxiety, and of course the excitement and anticipation mixed in it were lingering.

This was the atmosphere before the Spring Examination, which suddenly made Han Ming feel the same tension and oppression as before the college entrance examination in his previous life.

However, compared with the minor college entrance examinations in later generations, the ancient imperial examinations were more complicated and difficult.

Han Ming leaned against the railing of Yinyanxuan, with the Four Books and Five Classics and rice paper dancing in the breeze at his feet. In his left hand he held the delicious fruit wine he brewed, and in his right hand he held an exquisite brush, which he waved back and forth.

The young man leaned against the railing and looked into the distance. Strands of dazzling sunlight were pouring down, and there was a hint of deep attachment in his squinting eyes.

"Beautiful Bianjing, what a beautiful scenery!"

Han Ming was still in his room, expressing his sorrow for the passing of spring, while in Mrs. Han's room, things were in a mess.

"Everyone, take care. Don't forget your bedding, underwear, stationery, and book basket."

"Oh, how could you bring this quilt? It's so thin! Even though it's spring, it's still quite cold in the mornings and evenings. It's not as warm in the Imperial Examination Hall as it is at home. Change it quickly."

"What are you thinking? Except for the wolf-hair brush that I will use tomorrow, all the other four treasures of the study need to be new. Why are you carrying such an old one? No, no.

"Oh my! How can there be writing on this? It would be terrible if the examiner found it! Take it away quickly! Take it away quickly."

"This, this is good, just the right amount of soft, it can be used as a cushion for Ming'er."

"..."

Madam Han directed her maids to tidy up clothes, quilts, stationery and other items, and the room was in chaos for a while.

Han Yu, who was still young, vaguely felt that his mother was very anxious and irritable, so he sneaked out of the mistress's courtyard - Cuiyuxuan, and went to Yinyanxuan.

On the way, they met Jin Rui who was out looking for food for her master. The girl hurriedly reached out and grabbed Han Yu, looking around in panic.

"Where are you from, young lady? Why don't you have a maid with you?" Jin Rui knew that if the eldest lady knew about this, the maid who was looking after Han Yu would probably be beaten half to death.

"Mother is packing things with someone else. I'm so bored staying in the house..." Han Yu said cutely. She didn't quite understand why the maid in her elder brother's yard was so anxious.

"Miss, please don't wander around. I'll take you back to the mistress's room." Jin Rui hurriedly picked up the dazed Han Yu and was about to go to Cuiyuxuan.

"Sister Jin Rui, please take me to find my big brother. Mother's room is so messy and boring now." Han Yu hugged Jin Rui's head and said softly.

"That won't do. Miss, you should at least greet the lady first before you go to my place." Jin Rui didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly brought Han Yu back to Cuiyuxuan.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Madam Han and the maids still busy with Han Ming's examination plan in the room. She didn't notice Han Yu sneaking out at all.

Jin Rui breathed a sigh of relief and carried Han Yu into the main house. She happened to meet Mother Feng who was beside the eldest lady. When she saw Jin Rui and Han Yu, her face changed and she guessed what had happened in an instant.

"Mother Feng." Jin Rui called softly.

"Well, tell me about this in detail first." Mother Feng's face turned serious.

Jin Rui nodded quickly, handed Han Yu to Mother Feng to hold, then explained in a low voice, bowed, and left the main house.

"Madam." Mother Feng hugged Han Yu and called her Han Lu.

The lady was busy working and when she heard her personal maid calling her, she thought something had happened.

As a result, he heard that Han Yu had secretly run away and was sent back by the maid in Ming Ge'er's yard. He was so angry that he wanted to explode, but was afraid of making a big deal out of it.

In the end, he had no choice but to severely reprimand the maidservant beside the second girl, and then asked Han Yu to copy the "Etiquette" as a punishment.

Han Yu is still young and has lived a life of luxury since childhood. She does not understand her mistakes and goes to Han Shipu and Han Ming to complain. Old Han is a daughter slave and naturally sides with Han Yu.

Xiao Han is a person who seems open-minded, but in his heart he attaches great importance to rules. He especially knows that children's education should start from an early age.

Therefore, he supported his mother and personally supervised the punishment of his sister. Although tomorrow was the day of the scientific examination, Han Ming was not worried at all and seemed to be at ease.

She also told Han Yu some stories about Princess Pingyang Zhao during the Sui and Tang dynasties, telling her that as a woman, she should be independent and strong, and not cause too much trouble to others.

For the first time, little Han Yu understood what independence and self-reliance meant, and she also understood that women are no less capable than men.

Looking at Han Yu's resolute back, Jin Rui and Yong Zeng couldn't help but ask Han Ming: "Brother, do you think the girl can understand what you said?"

"Whether you understand it or not is not important. The key is to plant the seeds. This world is not just dominated by men. Women can also burst out with their own light and heat."

Han Ming took the wine pot handed to him by Jin Rui, raised his head and drank it, as if he had no tension or anxiety before the imperial examination at all.

"By the way, how is the thank-you gift I asked you to prepare?" Han Ming came to his senses and asked after thinking of something.

"Brother, I've prepared it for you a long time ago." Jin Rui was making wine on a small stove and said without raising her head.

"That's fine. Someone will come to my mother's room to pick up my second sister. Please let her know that Yong Zeng and I went to the Sheng family."

"Okay, bro, I got it."

. . . . . .

Outside the gate of the Sheng family, Yong Zeng had just stopped driving when another carriage arrived.

Han Ming lifted the curtain from the car and looked inside. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yuan Ruo really got there by chance."

On the other side of the carriage, Qi Heng looked at Han Ming speechlessly: "Why do I run into you everywhere?"

"Yuan Ruo, you are a humble gentleman. You can't be as rude as Gu Er!" Han Ming got off the carriage with a smile.

"I just ask you to stop talking nonsense in front of Sixth Sister."

Qi Heng felt that Han Ming was his enemy. Every time he was with him, his sixth sister would stay away from him.

"I know you have the intention, but there are some things that are yours and you can't run away from them, and you can't force them to be what's not yours."

Han Ming looked at Qi Heng, who was a little indecisive, and sighed continuously. No matter what the future held, he was still the most innocent and sincere now.

"How do you know that this result is not what I want?" Qi Heng said seriously with pursed lips.

"Yuan Ruo, you'd better ask yourself whether you can bear this responsibility." Han Ming couldn't help but remind the other party.

As for whether there will be any changes in the future, it all depends on whether this young master can withstand all the pressure and win the beauty.
