Chapter 221 Ask the Queen if she is worried about Li Xingyue! !
When Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang heard these people talking to them, they were both stunned. Su Changan stood up and tried to clarify.
But that's not even talking yet.
One of the people at the same table stood up, bowed slightly towards Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, one glance at these two classmates shows that they are confident about passing the imperial examination. Otherwise, how could they be so affectionate and sweet in front of the entrance of the Imperial Academy?"
Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned again. What was this person talking about?
Xia Fengxiang on the side couldn't help but smile, and for the first time he turned his head to look at these students.
After hearing what the man who stood up said, someone immediately said, "Brother Guo is absolutely right."
After that, he looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang and bowed, saying, "I see that you two have extraordinary temperaments and good manners. I think you are from prominent families. This year, His Majesty has granted so many favors for the imperial examination. With your looks, you two will surely pass the exam this year. I am Wu Fan from Pingzhou, this is Zhang Yiran from Tongcheng, and this is Guo Kaizhong from Wanning."
After the introduction, Zhang Yiran and Guo Kaizhong immediately bowed slightly to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
Su Changan had no choice but to let these two people use him and Xia Fengxiang as students for the imperial examination.
But before she could speak, Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan, then looked at the others and said, "My name is Xia Qingge, and my husband's name is Su Anran."
Upon hearing this, Wu Fan immediately said, "I saw you two were so loving and affectionate before, which made others envious. However, I didn't expect you two to be married. We were wrong."
Having said that, Wu Fan bowed again.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yiran smiled and said, "When the harp and zither are in the palace, everything is peaceful and harmonious. The relationship between Brother Su and Miss Xia really makes us feel envious. Moreover, the two of you are so confident. If both of you pass the imperial examination, it will be another good story. And I see that Brother Su is very handsome and talented, so I'm afraid he is very talented in writing."
Hearing this, Su Changan felt helpless towards these people.
But Su Changan didn't say anything, Xia Fengxiang smiled and said: "He is not good enough. Compared with you, my husband is not very talented and has little knowledge. His poems and articles are all messed up. Moreover, he is ignorant and has no skills. He has been learning the story books written by the queen, but his works are so ugly. This man now..."
When he said this, Xia Fengxiang looked at Zhang Yiran in confusion.
Zhang Yiran was somewhat helpless, but still said, "Zhang Yiran."
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "When this brother Zhang started to speak, you can see that he didn't dare to say much, for fear of revealing that he was not well-educated and making fun of you. Besides, this person is no good."
When saying the last three words "No", Xia Fengxiang turned his head to look at Su Changan, it was obvious that he said it on purpose!
Su Changan naturally heard it immediately, and after coughing softly, he said, "Great. You're saying I can't do it, right? ! !
Okay, okay, tonight I’ll let you know if I can be your husband or not!!
Su Changan thought so in his heart.
But only Su Changan could understand this.
Zhang Yiran and the others just smiled helplessly.
Zhang Yiran didn't care that Miss Xia Qingge forgot her name.
There is something that many people in the capital of Daxia agree on, and that is "identifying people by their clothes".
That is to say, judging a person's background by looking at his clothes.
Although Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang were wearing ordinary clothes prepared by the Palace Clothing Bureau, ordinary clothes in the palace were not very popular.
Can it be ordinary?
Xiajin is the silk fabric used by the rich in Daxia. There are several very precious materials in Xiajin. For example, what Su Changan and his friends are wearing is called Yuxiujin, which means that this silk is as soft and gentle as warm jade when worn against the skin, hence the name.
It is top-grade summer brocade, worn only by high-ranking officials and nobles.
So in fact, Zhang Yiran and others had already seen it, which is why they were speaking politely to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
However, after listening to Xia Fengxiang's words, Zhang Yiran and others looked at Su Changan's helpless expression, and the three of them looked at each other.
I really don’t know what to say.
Because in their opinion, what Mrs. Su said was obviously humble, but it felt more like a show of affection.
Your husband is so useless, and yet you still smile and talk like this, with only him in your eyes?
You two were showing your affection before because it was just you two, but now you are talking to us, and it seems a little wrong for you to suddenly show your affection!
All three of them are single, and when they heard this, they felt speechless and a little envious.
But I didn't dare say anything more and could only smile.
But at this time.
"I won! I won!! Thirty on the B list, I won!! Haaah. Hahahaha!"
"I got in, too. Sixty-nine. Sixty-nine!! Holy grace, Holy grace is so great!"
"Seventy-two, seventy-two! Mother! I passed, I am a Jinshi, I am a Jinshi!"
……
At this moment, there were sudden bursts of laughter and cheers from the crowd.
Su Changan and others looked over and saw that the B list had already been spread out. Many students were standing in front of it, either cheering and laughing, or staring at the long table with anxious eyes, or looking dejected, rushing towards the A list with the last glimmer of hope.
In short
However, when the Class B list was released, there were already all kinds of emotions, some were crying, some were laughing, and all kinds of emotions were reflected in the human world.
Seeing this scene, Wu Fan shook his head with emotion: "Hey, it's just a B-level ranking, why be so excited."
Guo Kaizhong said with a smile: "Those who pass the A list can participate in the palace examination, but some people know that they can't make it to the A list, so they will naturally be excited to be on the B list. But not everyone is as talented as Brother Wu to be on the A list."
Hearing this, Wu Fan smiled and shook his head: "Not as good as Brother Guo, not as good as Brother Guo."
Su Changan looked at these two people, as well as Zhang Yiran who was smiling. These three people looked like they would definitely be on the top list.
In fact, Su Changan wants to ask who gave you three such confidence that you don’t even think highly of the B list, and you are sure that you can make it to the A list.
but
After saying this, Wu Fan looked at the carriages outside the crowd and said in a low voice, "However, only after being on the top list will you be noticed by those big shots who come to find a son-in-law. And look, Miss Li is here."
Hearing this, Zhang Yiran and Guo Kaizhong looked over immediately.
Then I saw Li Xingyue sticking her head out from a carriage and looking at the students curiously.
When they saw Li Xingyue, the three of them were filled with relief.
Although Li Jiulang has been somewhat influenced by that evil woman Li Nishang, after so many days, everyone has discovered that Li Jiulang, the Prime Minister who is now temporarily serving as the Minister of Revenue, has no signs of decline at all. Instead, he is in his prime and has already gotten rid of the influence of Li Nishang.
Moreover, Li Jiulang's daughter, Li Xingyue, is now of marriageable age, but has not yet proposed to anyone, which naturally gives many talented men some ideas.
Especially now that I see Li Xingyue here.
How could these three not be excited!
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang also saw Li Xingyue, but
What made Su Changan curious was that Xingyue was looking for a lover, he had never heard of this. And before, this girl also said that she wanted to learn how to be an official first, and then talk about marriage after she became an official.
So Su Changan looked at Xingyue, whose face was clear and innocent and not polluted by knowledge, with a puzzled look on his face. Su Changan was a little worried.
Xia Fengxiang looked at the worried expression on Su Changan's face, smiled lightly, and said nothing else, but clenched his fists and took note of it!
Zhang Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Brother Guo is a perfect match for Miss Xingyue in terms of family background. If she takes a fancy to you, you will rise to a high position in the world. Don't forget me then."
Guo Kaizhong immediately shook his head: "It's difficult, it's difficult."
However, while saying this, Guo Kaizhong was looking at Li Xingyue with a smile on his face, as if he was starting to think about his wonderful life after becoming Li Jiulang's son-in-law.
Su Changan looked at Guo Kaizhong's expression, a little stunned. How can I say this guy is so confident? He hasn't even looked at the list, and he thinks he will definitely be on the top list. Now he's starting to think that Xingyue likes you.
When it comes to self-confidence, this guy is unbeatable.
but
Su Changan looked at Guo Kaizhong curiously, which was noticed by Wu Fan on the side. So he smiled and said, "Brother Su, don't you know about Qingyun Road?"
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang in confusion, and then looked at Wu Fan: "Qingyun Road?"
Wu Fan explained with a smile: "Actually, it means to choose a son-in-law from the list. But for students like us, this is a road to success. If we are lucky enough to be appreciated by these officials and dignitaries and become their son-in-law, isn't this a road to success?"
Su Changan nodded and said, "That's true. At least we can save ourselves a dozen or even dozens of years of hard work."
Wu Fan and the others were slightly startled when they heard the last sentence of Su Changan's words, but after thinking carefully, Wu Fan immediately said, "Brother Su's witty remarks are true. It is true that you can save yourself a dozen or even dozens of years of hard work. Especially if you can become the son-in-law of Prime Minister Li, it must be decades. After all, everyone knows that Prime Minister Li loves Miss Xingyue."
But at this point, he smiled helplessly and said, "But I don't think we have a chance, but Brother Guo has hope. After all, Brother Guo is the nephew of Wanning prefect Guo Cheng."
Hearing this, Zhang Yiran couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "You won't be the prefect anymore. I heard that Mr. Guo will be transferred to the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice soon."
At the same time, Guo Kaizhong immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, you two, this matter can't be said casually."
Although he said so, Guo Kaizhong did not hide his pride in his eyes.
but
When Xia Fengxiang heard this, he suddenly said, "Oh? There is such a thing?"
When Su Changan heard the words "Is this true?", he almost laughed out loud.
If someone else said this, it wouldn't mean anything.
But Xia Fengxiang is the empress, the great Xia Emperor, so it's a bit strange that she suddenly said this! Very funny!
Zhang Yiran looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "I heard that the transfer order of the Ministry of Personnel has been drafted and it just needs to be sent over."
Xia Fengxiang nodded slightly and looked at Guo Kaizhong with a smile: "Then I really have to congratulate Mr. Guo."
Guo Kaizhong immediately shook his head and said modestly: "That's my uncle's career success, not mine. Madam Su, you are joking."
Xia Fengxiang smiled slightly and said nothing else.
Guo Kaizhong also wanted to stop talking about this topic, so he looked up at the A-list notice board in the distance.
At this time, the official who announced the results had already posted the list on the notice board, but the name of the people on the list was covered with a red cloth, so nothing could be seen.
But the situation clearly shows that the list is about to be announced.
Therefore, Guo Kaizhong said: "The A list will also be announced."
When several people heard it, they all looked over.
However, Zhang Yiran lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, have you heard that there was cheating in the imperial examination this year?"
heard this
Wu Fan and Guo Kaizhong immediately looked at Zhang Yiran with surprise, because they had never heard of it before.
