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

Although the imperial examination is hard, it does not prevent people from relaxing and having fun after the exam.

After briefly explaining a few things to their families, the five of them gathered at Fanlou that night as agreed. After a hearty meal, they sat sideways and chatted.

As they were chatting, the topic somehow turned to Yang Wuduan. Seeing Gu Tingye's indignant expression, Han Ming immediately changed the subject.

"On a day like today, why bother talking about these things? Why don't we all recite poems and compose verses to express our feelings?"

When they heard that Han Ming was going to hold a poetry reading, everyone changed the subject immediately. Only Sheng Changbai and Gu Tingye seemed to be thinking about something and looked at Han Ming for several times.

Although Han Ming saw that the topic had been revealed, he felt sad. If his guess was correct, Gu Erlang still did not listen to his advice and revealed some words to his older brother Gu Tingyu.

It seems that God is still not going to let this poor guy go.

A few days later, the results of the imperial examination were officially announced, and a new round of enthusiasm began in the city of Bianliang.

From the morning on, the Han Mansion was filled with joy. All the servants were in high spirits and did their work efficiently and effectively without any slackness.

Because the host said today that if the young man passed the exam, everyone would be rewarded, which added a touch of joy to the prime minister's residence.

Inside Yinyanxuan, Han Ming, dressed in a brocade robe, was still drinking and feeding the fish. Looking at Jin Rui who was busy running around, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"I say, if you keep wandering around like this, my head's going to hurt. What are you doing?"

"Brother, today is the day when the exam results will be announced. You should pack up quickly and go to the ancestral temple to burn incense." Jin Rui put some books scattered on the ground in order and said without raising her head.

"Well! Just announce the results and let Yongzeng take a look." Han Ming seemed to have returned to his lazy state, drinking fruit wine listlessly.

"Bullshit!" A middle-aged female voice came from the courtyard gate. The person who came was Han Ming's aunt, Wang Han.

"A few days ago, I saw you were full of energy and had a bright future. But I never thought that after all this time, you'd still be so naive."

Hearing his aunt's lecture, Han Ming touched his nose awkwardly and stood up to salute.

"Hurry up, after we finish packing, we will go to pay our respects to your grandparents, then burn incense at the ancestral temple and ask for the ancestors' protection."

When Wang Han was young, she was a hot girl in the city of Bianjing. Her temper was not as gentle as people thought, but after getting married, she took care of her husband and children, so it did not show up.

"Okay, okay..." Han Ming immediately went into the house to get dressed, then put on a scholarly air and followed his aunt to the ancestral hall.

The liveliness of the Han Mansion also applies to the Sheng Mansion. After burning incense and worshiping Buddha, Wang Ruofu, the eldest lady of the Sheng family, excitedly chatted with her personal maid, Mama Liu.

"This morning, I got up and burned this incense stick. It burned beautifully, shaped like a lotus flower. That's a very auspicious sign. I reckon my Bai'er will definitely pass the high school entrance exam this time!"

"Yes, yes, she will definitely get into high school!" Mother Liu replied while following Wang Ruofu to help her put on her coat and tie her robe belt. She was very busy.

"Why hasn't Ruer come out yet? We finally waited until the results are announced, but she is still so lazy?" Wang Ruofu was anxious and almost angry.

Seeing this, Mama Liu immediately ordered the maid: "Go and urge the Fifth Miss!"

As she spoke, Mother Liu followed the maid to Rulan's room. Madam Sheng was too lazy to wait for her. Her face changed and she went out happily alone.

As she walked in the courtyard, she kept muttering, "Success or failure depends on this one move. Bai'er has to fight for her mother's honor. It would be best if my son passed the entrance exam and that little bastard failed. Then it's up to her, ah——!"

Wang Ruofu was so busy mumbling that she didn't even look at her feet and tripped directly at the gate of Weiruixuan.

"Madam—!"

"Madam—!"

"Madam—!"

"..."

The servants who heard the noise rushed out and hurried to help, causing chaos for a while.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The bustle in Sheng Mansion was still going on. At Han Mansion, Han Ming, along with his second sister Han Yu, Jin Rui, Yong Zeng and others, rode in a carriage to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.

The huge stone wall in front of the Imperial Examination Hall - the Announcement Wall - was now bustling with people, gathering many scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans from the Bianliang city.

After telling Jin Rui to hand Han Yu over to her for care, Han Ming jumped out of the carriage in a dashing manner. From afar, Han Ming saw several close friends.

"Zhonghuai, be sincere!" Han Ming shouted loudly.

"Erlang, Jingyuan!" Sheng Changbai was also very happy. He took two quick steps and came closer.

"Oh, you two are still as charming as ever!" Gu Tingye laughed, then glanced at the Sheng sisters behind Sheng Changbai.

"Your entire family is out in force, worried that you'll pass the imperial examination and your brother will be snatched away. Even your sister is here to guard you!"

Listening to Gu Tingye's joke, Sheng Changbai smiled silently, pointed at Han Ming and said, "Aren't you two afraid of being snatched away?"

"Stop clinging to me and look at the list!" Han Ming rolled his eyes, grabbed one with each hand, and pulled Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai into the crowd.

"Hey, hey, hey, slow down!" Sheng Changbai shouted in panic.

As soon as I entered the crowd, I heard a few merchants dressed in silk discussing in low voices.

"I think that man is really good. He is handsome and has a good demeanor. He has a certain sense of excellence. If he wins, Brother Wang, you must not compete with me for it!"

"Mr. Lu, you can take it!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Mr. Lu asked in confusion.

"He is Gu Tingye!" said the man called 'Brother Wang' disdainfully.

"No wonder!" Mr. Lu looked surprised.

"I won't fight with you!"

"So it's him!" Mr. Lu sighed.

"The vanguard in the romantic formation, Zhao Zilong under the peony flowers! I would rather guard my daughter for a lifetime than let him harm her!" The middle-aged man surnamed Wang said with a sneer.

"That's true!"

Han Ming frowned and wanted to step forward to argue, but his hands were tightly locked by Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai.

"You guys?" Han Ming was puzzled.

"Thank you!" Gu Tingye nodded vigorously and smiled, accepting Han Ming's kindness.

"It's a troubled time, a troubled time!" Sheng Changbai also muttered in a low voice.

"Did you hear that? No one wants to have someone like me as a son-in-law!" Gu Tingye said self-deprecatingly to Han Ming and Sheng Changbai.

"Then you are safe now!" Han Ming rolled his eyes. He was held by the two men and could not move.

"I...I don't want any safety at all!" Gu Tingye cursed indignantly in a low voice.

"Hehehe!" Sheng Changbai could only look at them with a helpless smile.

In the end, Han Ming was carried by Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai to the wall where the results were posted. This made the Sheng sisters look at him with amusement, and Han Ming could only respond with an awkward smile.

Then he shook off their hands and searched for his name without saying a word.

"Hey, I see that Yuan Ruo's family is a bit down and out." Han Ming whispered in the ears of Gu and Sheng.

"I'm afraid it's not good." Gu Tingye shook his head slightly.

Han Ming looked at Gu Tingye and thought that he might be the one in trouble next. What a pity!

Just as they were still searching silently, Sheng Minglan beside them suddenly shouted, "Got it, got it, got it!"

Then he happily took Sheng Rulan's arm and pointed at the name on the wall: "Second brother, there, there!"

Following Minglan's finger, Sheng Rulan also saw Sheng Changbai's name and jumped up happily.

"Second brother got it, second brother got it!"

Hearing Ruolan and Minglan's cries, everyone turned their attention to them, especially the three people from Linqi Pavilion, Lin Qinshuang, Sheng Changfeng, and Sheng Molan, all of whom looked surprised.

"Second brother, second brother!"

"Second brother, it's a success!"

"Second brother, come quickly!"

"..."

Hearing Ruolan and Minglan's shouts, Sheng Changbai and Han Ming greeted them and squeezed to the front with surprise in their eyes.

Minglan grabbed Sheng Changbai's arm and jumped, pointing at the list: "I got it, I got it, 13th place!"

"Zecheng, that's great!" Han Ming scanned the list and laughed.

"Yes, it's a good idea. It's really good." Gu Tingye was also happy for Sheng Changbai.

"Hurry up!"

"Go home and tell mother the good news!" Rulan pulled her maid and ran back.

"Congratulations, second brother!" Minglan congratulated with a sweet smile.

"Thank God!" Sheng Changbai breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his inner joy.

"Oh! Such magnanimity, talent and beauty, he is truly a pillar of the country!"

"Let my daughter marry you!"

Several businessmen who were slandering Gu Tingye just now immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sheng Changbai, preparing to "catch a son-in-law from under the list"!

Han Ming and Gu Tingye's faces changed, they looked at each other, and rushed forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?" Gu Tingye stopped loudly.

"Do you still have any sense of etiquette and rules?" Han Ming stretched out his hand to push a few people apart, and he and Gu Tingye protected Sheng Changfeng.

Then the Sheng family's servant quickly made a move, grabbed their young master, and ran away. Sheng Changbai kept turning back and shouting, "Did Erlang and Jingyuan get hit?"

"I have good news. I'll go and tell you the good news!" Gu Tingye said with a confident smile.

"Okay!" Sheng Changbai nodded repeatedly!

Han Ming suddenly stared at the list blankly with a terrified expression.

This scene happened to be seen by Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan. Following Han Ming's gaze, the two looked at the wall and stood still for a moment...
