Chapter 105: Tang Wanrong Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Wenhedian, Zhao Ding attached great importance to it and personally read out the list of Enke's first class.
"Champion, Luo Sheng." Zhao Ding read with a smile.
There was some commotion in the crowd, some turned their heads to look at Luo Sheng, and some turned their heads to look at Xu Xian.
Because everyone was surprised, Xu Xian was the most popular candidate for champion.
Xu Xian kept a smile on his face, but his heart sank a little, because he needed the name of this champion very much.
Luo Sheng himself was also a little stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses, stood up excitedly, and directly bowed down to Zhao Ding and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen." β
Zhao Ding smiled gently: "Luo Qingping, your articles and strategies are well written, I appreciate it." β
When Luo Sheng heard this, he was even more grateful.
Zhao Ding then announced: "Bangyan, Jiang Feng. β
The Gongshi were in a commotion again, their eyes looked at Jiang Feng with envy, and then at Xu Xian.
"Thank you, Lord Long." Jiang Feng was also extremely excited, he thought that Xu Xian would not be able to win the champion, at least he was the leader of the list, but he didn't expect that the list eye was actually himself.
Zhao Ding also said a good word, which made Jiang Feng have the urge to smash his liver and brain for the emperor.
"Tanhua, Wu Rang." Zhao Ding continued to announce.
At this time, the commotion of the tributes was even more obvious, and the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua were not the big favorites Xu Xian.
Xu Xian's heart cooled down, and he had already given up the idea of begging Zhao Ding to marry Tang Wanrong.
It's not the champion, the list and the flower, the rest can only be ordinary Jinshi and Tongjinshi, and this time there are as many as 100 Enke Jinshi and Tongjinshi. It is simply delusional for an ordinary new science scholar to ask the emperor to marry the county lord on this basis.
After Zhao Ding personally read out the list of the first class, the remaining list of the second class jinshi and the third class jinshi was handed over to Shi Sen to read out on his behalf.
"The second list, the first place (Chuanlu), Xu Xian. Second place, Shen Fang, third place......"
Although Zhao Ding didn't like Xu Xian, after all, he was the first place proposed by a group of important ministers, and his strategy was indeed outstanding, so he could only pinch his nose and give Xu Xian the first place on the second list.
Because it was a test of Huiyuan, Xu Xian's position was in front, and when Shi Sen read out his name, Xu Xian clearly saw Zhao Ding's eyes flashing with disgust and coldness.
"I see." Xu Xian saw Zhao Ding's eyes, and immediately understood in his heart, "I didn't expect this emperor's belly to be so small!" β
He had already thought of the conflict between himself and the Wang family, involving Concubine Yuhua in the harem, so it was even more impossible to beg Zhao Ding to marry Tang Wanrong.
After reading out the rankings, Zhao Ding smiled and said: "Give the banquet, I want to celebrate with all Aiqing." β
"Feastβ" Shi Sen immediately shouted loudly, "Your Majesty celebrates with all the new scholars. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Xu Xian came out of the palace and returned home in a carriage, and Bai Suzhen had already waited in front of the gate for a long time.
Seeing the carriage stop in front of his house, he thought that Xu Xian was back, so he greeted him.
Sure enough, Xu Xian got out of the carriage.
"Officialβ" Bai Suzhen took two more steps and shouted happily.
Xu Xian reluctantly showed some smiles, nodded and said, "Let the lady wait for a long time." β
Entering the courtyard and entering the hall, Bai Suzhen served Xu Xian a cup of fragrant tea to quench her thirst, and then asked, "The officials don't seem to be very happy, is the ranking too low?" β
Xu Xian put down the teacup and sighed slightly: "I only took one handbook." The point is that the emperor seems to have a prejudice against me. β
Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian have been husband and wife for so long, and they already know Xu Xian very well, and said, "The officials are worried that they won't be able to marry Tang Wanrong, right?" β
"Not bad." Xu Xian nodded.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Officials don't have to worry. You will marry Tang Wanrong, but she is no longer the county lord of Fengle at that time.
"Do you have a way?" Xu Xian suddenly came to his senses, and immediately thought that Bai Suzhen was a thousand-year-old demon, and he must have more means than a mortal like him.
Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "I also hope that the officials don't blame me for making my own decisions." β
"How? I thank you for being too late. Xu Xian smiled happily, "As for whether Wanrong is the county lord or not, I don't care at all." β
Bai Suzhen was happy when she saw Xu Xian, and she was also happy in her heart.
Xu Xian smiled again: "Haha, lady, I must thank you for my husband tonight." β
"Official, you are so bad!" Bai Suzhen's face was slightly red, and she said with great charm.
Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen's charming and beautiful appearance, and thought that he should not wait until the evening.
β¦β¦
Three days later, in a seemingly ordinary house outside Bianjing City, Xu Xian finally saw Tang Wanrong.
At this time, Tang Wanrong had already taken off her gorgeous dress and was only wearing a plain civilian dress, but her natural beauty was difficult to give up, and she was still very beautiful and moving. Especially after she became thinner, her temperament was graceful and moving, and I felt pity.
"Wanrong, I've wronged you." Xu Xian couldn't help hugging Tang Wanrong's delicate body and said emotionally.
Tang Wanrong also hugged Xu Xian tightly, and choked in Xu Xian's arms: "Don't be wronged." Xu Xian, will you dislike me for no longer being the county lord and the emperor's niece? β
"Never. I care about who you are, not who you are. Xu Xian said seriously, "You and I know each other and love each other, how did I ever know what your background is?" β
After the two hugged each other affectionately for a while, a coughing sound suddenly came, and Tang Wanrong was so frightened that she hurriedly left Xu Xian's embrace.
Xu Xian turned his head along the sound and saw a noble middle-aged man in his early forties walking over.
"Daddy." Tang Wanrong blushed and shouted at the noble middle-aged man.
Xu Xian reacted, and immediately saluted and shouted, "The little son-in-law greets his father-in-law." β
Tang Wanrong's father, Tang Ze, looked at Xu Xian and said, "I don't like you......"
"Dadβ" Tang Wanrong couldn't help but exclaim anxiously.
Tang Ze made a gesture to Tang Wanrong not to interject, and then said to Xu Xian: "The daughter of my dignified town Guogong Mansion actually made someone a flat wife, and her face was lost. β
"However," Tang Ze's tone changed, and he said, "Since Rong'er loves you to death, it is better for me, a father, to be able to rely on her, than to be used as a bargaining chip by Zhao Ding to give marriage to a demented child at will." β
"Xu Xian, I warn you, although Rong'er is no longer the county lord, she is still a member of my Zhenguo Mansion, if you dare to wronged her, I will never let you go!"
It turned out that Bai Suzhen and Tang Wanrong discussed the plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell. Tang Wanrong ate the fake death medicine refined by Bai Suzhen to get rid of Zhao Ding's control. It's just that Tang Wanrong and Bai Suzhen alone can't operate, and Tang Wanrong can only beg her father.
In order to keep this matter secret, Tang Wanrong didn't even dare to let the eldest princess Zhao Sulan know.
"Father-in-law, please rest assured, my Xu Xian is not as good as a pig and a dog, and I will never be graceful!" Xu Xian swore an oath.
Tang Ze nodded, believing Xu Xian's promise, because he believed that Xu Xian's little jinshi would not dare to offend the dignified Zhenguo Mansion.
