After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?
Chapter 21 Sheng Minglan and Qi Yuanruo
"Oh my! You've become famous this time, your future is limitless!"
"Brother Changbai is absolutely right. Jingyuan has defeated all the students in the world and won the first place in the imperial examination. It is truly an honor!"
"Well, Han Da Xianggong was only nineteen years old and ranked second in the imperial examination. His son Han Jingyuan was only eighteen years old and ranked first in the imperial examination. He is also better than his father!"
"I think Jingyuan will become the prime minister in the future!"
"Hahaha, everyone is exaggerating. How could Han be so worthy of such a title?"
"..."
Qi Heng was walking over from a distance when he heard Sheng Changbai's exaggerated praise. He looked closely and saw that it was several young men from the capital surrounding Han Ming and bragging about him.
Han Ming also laughed heartily and humbly agreed with their words. He had only one thought at this moment, that is, he really did it.
Originally, according to his idea, being able to pass the imperial examination in one try was a great blessing. After all, the level of the ancient imperial examination was very high.
While chatting and laughing with everyone, Han Ming's eyes swept over Qi Heng who was standing in the distance, looking a little hesitant. He smiled gently and took the initiative to walk forward.
As the first place in this imperial examination, Han Ming's every move was eye-catching. When they saw him walking in front of Qi Heng, the students couldn't help but follow him and greet Qi Heng.
Qi Heng was not pretentious. After greeting everyone, he smiled wryly and said, "Brother Jingyuan is truly a talented person!"
"Are you kidding?" Han Ming didn't shy away from this.
“Uh (⊙o⊙)…” Qi Heng was a little confused.
"Yuan Ruo and Ze Cheng have long known of my great talent."
Hearing Han Ming's shameless words, Sheng Changbai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly interrupted the other party's boasting, while Qi Heng was also teased by Han Ming and laughed out loud.
Seeing that Qi Heng no longer had a sullen face, everyone started talking and laughing, and started complimenting him again.
In a carriage at the back, the fifth daughter of the Sheng family, Rulan, and the sixth daughter, Minglan, were whispering about Qi Heng, who had failed the exam, and Han Ming, the top scorer in the high school entrance exam.
"Brother Jingyuan is truly amazing. Not only did he pass the imperial examination in one attempt, he also achieved the title of Champion. With this level of talent, I'm afraid even my second brother is somewhat inferior to him!"
Rulan looked at Han Ming, who was standing tall in the crowd, with a gleam in her eyes.
"I still remember what Brother Han once said: People are not the same. Simple joys and sorrows, as well as complex talents and abilities, are all objective things that distinguish individuals."
"At first I thought he was just being clever and self-righteous, but now looking back, I really was shallow..."
Minglan's eyes, which could speak, stared at Han Ming with confusion, even a hint of weirdness.
"It's not just you. Even I was shocked when I heard you say that Brother Jingyuan won the first place in the high school entrance examination. I can't believe that such a genius would come from our neighborhood. It's too exaggerated!"
Minglan found Rulan's startled look a little funny, and the two of them turned the topic to Qi Heng while chatting and laughing.
"Brother Yuanruo has such a prominent family background, he doesn't have to take the imperial examination to have a bright future." Rulan curiously stuck her head out of the car window to observe Qi Heng.
"It's not a question of future. The young master has been working hard for this imperial examination for many years. If he fails, he will definitely be very sad." Minglan understood Qi Heng's mentality very well.
"Why should I be so sad about this? I can just ask for permission and get a promotion when the time comes."
Ruolan's innocent answer left Minglan speechless for a moment.
The two of them stopped talking only after Qi Heng finished chatting with everyone, bowed, left the place and walked back.
Seeing Qi Heng walk straight to Rulan and Minglan's carriage and stop, Han Ming smiled helplessly and sighed in his heart: "Yuanruo, if you don't win this time, you have already lost the opportunity and missed this marriage..."
"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?" Sheng Changbai patted Han Ming.
"I'm a little worried about Zhong Huai, but it's not convenient for me to come forward now..." Han Ming changed the subject at the right time.
"I'll ask Hanniu to take a look, so I can feel at ease." Sheng Changbai nodded slightly and called his personal servant to give him an order.
"Today is really thrilling. I think it's better for me to go home early." Han Ming thought of the previous 'catching a son-in-law under the list', and a cold sweat broke out on his face.
I know that the ancients attached great importance to the status of students taking the imperial examinations, but I didn't expect them to be so crazy. I finally saw it today, and I almost lost my virginity.
Thinking of this, Han Ming shuddered, hurriedly said goodbye to Sheng Changbai, and returned to the carriage.
Qi Heng stopped in front of the Sheng Mansion's carriage, trying his best to hide his loss of composure and emotions and smiled faintly.
"Congratulations to my two sisters." Qi Heng looked like a modest gentleman.
"Brother Yuanruo, don't be sad. Not many people pass the high school entrance exam on the first try. There are also many people who are still taking the exam when they are in their seventies or eighties..."
Rulan looked at Qi Heng who was a little disappointed and couldn't help but comfort him, but she felt something was wrong when she said it.
His eyes unconsciously swept to Han Ming who was about to leave in the distance. He felt that he could not compare with such a person, otherwise he would be easily beaten to death.
Minglan, standing aside, had a look of helplessness and speechlessness in her eyes, secretly slandering in her heart: "Sister, is there anyone who can comfort people like you?"
Then he turned his gaze straight to Qi Heng with a smile on his face.
As for Qi Heng, he smiled knowingly at Rulan's words: "I'm fine."
Rulan smiled beautifully, showing her white teeth, trying to ease and cover up the embarrassment of having said the wrong thing just now.
Qi Heng's ultimate goal was naturally not simply to congratulate Han Ming and Sheng Changbai. What he wanted most was to get encouragement and support from his "sixth sister" at such a time of frustration, or at least to get a word from her.
Their eyes met in the air, and a faint feeling slowly flowed in the air.
"Sixth sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you okay?" Qi Heng asked gently.
"I'm fine! I'm fine." Minglan answered with a silly smile.
The two exchanged glances again, leaving Rulan completely bewildered, with a faint feeling of being ignored lingering in her heart.
"I haven't seen Brother Yuanruo for a long time. Why doesn't he ask me if I'm okay?" Rulan asked with a slight pout.
"Your face is rosy and your voice is loud. You look good at first glance. There's no need to ask." Qi Heng smiled slightly and gave his explanation.
Rulan was worthy of being the daughter of Madam Shengda. She was also simple-minded. She just thought Qi Heng was praising her, and her displeasure disappeared. She smiled, and even her eyes turned into crescents.
Seeing Rulan so happy, Qi Heng and Minglan also started laughing.
Coincidentally, the sound of Sheng Changbai and others laughing and talking could be heard behind him. Qi Heng's attention was attracted and he looked at them with some envy.
Minglan has been smart since she was a child. Especially after being trained by her grandmother, she understands people's hearts, knows how to speak, and how to protect herself.
After seeing Qi Heng's eyes, Minglan twisted her hands in front of her knees for a few seconds, calmed herself down, and called Qi Heng softly.
"Young Master, the imperial examination is difficult, as everyone knows. You will definitely pass if you take the next one."
Minglan's comfort at this moment was like a sweet rain, which made Qi Heng's heart tremble.
"Are you really willing... willing to believe that I can still pass the exam?" Qi Heng tried to calm his tone and looked straight at Minglan.
"I believe you!" Minglan said firmly.
"Young Master, you are extremely talented, and Fifth Sister knows this best."
Minglan was halfway through her speech when she realized that Rulan was not participating in the conversation. It was only herself and Qi Heng chatting, so she quickly changed the subject and threw the question to Rulan.
"Yeah! We all know!"
"Ah? Yes, yes..." Rulan couldn't help laughing when she saw that she was also involved. She was indeed a simple-minded person.
"Don't be discouraged!" Minglan still persuaded Qi Heng with a smile.
"I will definitely remember what my sister said. I will definitely pass the next imperial examination!" Qi Heng rekindled his confidence.
When Minglan and Rulan heard this, they nodded and smiled at the same time, giving Qi Heng trust.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Qi Heng, who had regained his spirits, smiled faintly, bowed, and walked towards his own carriage.
As Qi Heng slowly walked away, he couldn't help but recall Minglan's words just now. He smiled softly and felt in a good mood.
The Duke of Qi and his wife, who were sitting in the carriage and silently observing Qi Heng, could not help but talk about it.
"Did you see that? Heng'er was as frosted as a frost just now, but after a few words with the girl from the Sheng family, he became very happy and his worried expression disappeared completely."
"These girls from small families, huh, are not simple at all!" Princess Pingning was indignant and began to sneer.
When the Duke of Qi heard his wife's words, he didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. He put his head close to the car window, looked out, and asked in a naive tone, "Is the daughter of the Sheng family beautiful?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Pingning opened her eyes slightly, her pupils contracted rapidly, and she turned her head to look at Duke Qi in shock.
The Duke of Qi vaguely felt a murderous aura coming from behind him. He turned around and saw the extremely cold eyes of Princess Pingning, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I mean, if Heng'er likes her, why not ask her if she's promised to someone else?"
Princess Pingning retorted bluntly, "You're getting old and confused! Does their family have any titles?"
After these words were spoken, the Duke of Qi could only smile awkwardly and dared not say another word.
