Chapter 117: Zhao Kangcheng's Past
"Huh? Don't you know, Tiny? Hearing Cai Xiaoxiao's question, Zhao Wangshi asked her suspiciously.
"What? Know what? Cai Xiaoxiao's face was questioning.
Zhao Wang looked at her, thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "I forgot, with your living situation at the time, I didn't think I was interested in listening to those rumors. ”
"Rumors?" Cai Xiaoxiao was even more curious now, and looked at Zhao Wang's expectantly.
Zhao Wang's family was also willing to satisfy Cai Xiao's little curiosity when he arrived, and began to say slowly-
To say that in the past, Zhao Kangcheng was also a famous person in the village, as Cai Xiaoxiao said, Zhao Kangcheng is handsome, very gentle, and kind, the old and young in the village, there are almost no people who don't like Zhao Kangcheng, and many families have regarded Zhao Kangcheng as a candidate for their daughter's future son-in-law.
But that was only when the Zhao family was still relatively wealthy, and everyone thought that Zhao Kangcheng would be the top student in high school.
"The imperial examination next year should be the third time that Kangcheng has participated in it." Zhao Wang said.
"The third time?" Cai Xiaoxiao was surprised, she had never found this information in the memory of the original owner, but also, thinking that the original owner had been abused by Old Man Cai and his wife at that time, how could she be in the mood to care about a man's situation.
But for the third time...... If she remembers correctly, the imperial examination is generally held every three years, that is, nine years? Zhao Kangcheng is twenty-five years old this year, and if it is nine years, it means that Zhao Kangcheng has been participating in the imperial examination since he was sixteen years old?
Sky! If you are a 16-year-old in high school, wouldn't you be a genius child? But since I have participated in it three times, that is to say-
"Didn't Xianggong have high school two times before?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked.
Zhao Wang shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Is it because it's too hard?" Cai Xiaoxiao thinks so. She thinks that the imperial examination is equivalent to the modern college entrance examination, it should not be simple, Zhao Kangcheng was so young the first two times, and it is possible not to go to high school.
"Difficult?" A mocking smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Wang's face, and he said, "We thought so at first......
Zhao Kangcheng, who participated in the imperial examination for the first time, was full of confidence at the age of sixteen, and when he learned that he had fallen off the list, he was hit hard, and the villagers were also surprised when they heard about it, after all, Zhao Kangcheng's intelligence and knowledge were in everyone's eyes, and even the most famous teacher in the town at that time said that Zhao Kangcheng would definitely be on the list even if he couldn't win the top prize!
At that time, everyone, including Zhao Kangcheng himself, thought that maybe the imperial examination was too difficult, or the content of the paper written by Zhao Kangcheng did not satisfy the invigilator at that time, so he fell off the list.
Until three days later, that is, the day when Zhao Kangcheng was about to leave the capital, perhaps the current emperor was very satisfied with the scroll written by the champion of the scientific examination at that time, so he asked the guards to paste the content of the scroll on the emperor's list for all students to enjoy.
Zhao Kangcheng also went, and he wanted to know how far he was from the champion.
However, when he came to the front of the emperor list and saw what was written on that paper, he was shocked! Because the content on that paper, except for the handwriting, the rest was exactly the same as what he wrote in the examination room that day, and he could even memorize it word for word!
So he immediately understood that he was not off the list because of the poor exam, but because someone stole his paper, and then plagiarized the content of his paper, replacing him as the champion, and in order to prevent this matter from being exposed, he deliberately let him fall off the list!
After the young and vigorous Zhao Kangcheng understood this, he was very angry and went to the official mansion and threatened to ask the current saint to repay him justice.
However, he forgot that who else could do these things except the invigilator at that time? And which of the invigilators at that time was not all noble?
is the so-called protection of officials and officials, even if Zhao Kangcheng keeps beating the drum and shouting grievances, no one will pay attention to his testimony, and even in the end, the invigilator behind the scenes thinks that he will cause trouble if he continues like this, so he put Zhao Kangcheng in prison on false charges!
"When I learned that Cannes was in prison, I almost fainted." Zhao Wang said.
But when he thought that Zhao Kangcheng was still waiting for her to save him in the capital, Zhao Wangshi gritted his teeth and stood up, and then took Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli to the capital.
After spending a lot of money and guaranteeing that Zhao Kangcheng would not appeal again, and the cheating would be concealed forever and would not be spoken, then the people behind the scenes were willing to let Zhao Kangcheng go.
Because of this incident, the Zhao family, which was originally quite wealthy, suddenly became poor, and after Zhao Kangcheng participated in the imperial examination for the second time and then failed again, the villagers' views on Zhao Kangcheng and the Zhao family finally changed.
Although the elders in the village or some elders still admire Zhao Kangcheng, no one is willing to marry their daughter to Zhao Kangcheng anymore.
"Kangcheng has always blamed himself, thinking that it was his reason that caused the family to become difficult, and since then, he has begun to become more sensible and calmer, even when he knows that he did not make the list for the second time because someone obstructed him, he did not impulsively ask for justice again." Thinking of those years, Zhao Wang's family felt sorry for Zhao Kangcheng, "Kangcheng said, that person can stop him for a while, but he can't stop him for a lifetime, he said that one day he will be able to succeed, and then he will get justice for himself by himself!" Speaking of which, Zhao Wang's eyes were full of pride in Zhao Kangcheng.
Suddenly, she looked at Cai Xiaoxiao again, with a gentle smile on her face, and said: "So, Xiaoxiao, I am actually very grateful for your appearance, because your appearance not only gave Kangcheng such a good daughter-in-law, let me have such a capable daughter-in-law, but also made our family live better and better, Xiaoxiao, you can be said to be the lucky star of our family." ”
Mascot? No, she's not.
Cai Xiaoxiao smiled lightly: "Mother-in-law, don't say that, if it wasn't for your appearance and saved my life, I am only afraid that I would have been reincarnated a long time ago, not to mention that because of my father's entanglement, you and Xianggong have been troubled many times, if you say Fuxing, it is also because I met you." It was you who gave me a second life, and if I want to say thank you, then I should also thank you and Xianggong. "Cai Xiao's novel is true, if they hadn't saved the original owner's life, maybe she wouldn't have been able to cross over and come back to life.
Cai Xiaoxiao also thinks that she was reborn in such a family, with such a good mother-in-law, such a good father-in-law, and then two lovely little brothers and sisters, which is really good compared to the previous life.
