Chapter 117: The Annunciation
Sheng Siyan smiled, "I am very familiar with Sister Yu'er of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, if you need to go to Zheng Guogong at that time, you can ask Sister Yu'er to help spread the word." ”
I actually thought about the way back!
Wang Yixing immediately had a different feeling in his heart.
This is the first time that someone has planned for him regardless of return, and not for someone else......
The family looked forward to him, but they were always worried that he would be overwhelmed. The second prince kept giving him opportunities, but he also kept testing him, and he had to prove to the second prince step by step that he had the ability to get these opportunities.
No one has ever believed in him and his abilities so unreservedly.
There is no need to compare, let alone weigh up.
Wang Yixing felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, he hurriedly raised his head, looked at the moonlight on the horizon, and said softly: "There are still ten days before the list will be released, and it will naturally be clear when the time comes." ”
Sheng Siyan couldn't help but show a sweet smile like when he was a child, and said, "If Second Brother Wang is on the list, I will give Second Brother Wang a small gift." ”
Wang Yixing, "A small gift? Isn't it a great gift? ”
The people around him said that when he passed the exam, they would give him a big gift.
Sheng Siyan choked his nose, "Of course, the big gift was given by my father." I'm a small person, so I can only prepare a small gift. However," she said solemnly, "I promise that this little gift is made by me and will not be faked by others." ”
Wang Yixing smiled, and finally couldn't help it, but still rubbed her bun, "Don't be so troublesome." You don't give anything, it's a great gift to talk to me. ”
"Huh. Then I'm taking advantage of the second brother Wang! Sheng Siyan clapped his hands and smiled. Smiling like a flower in the moonlight.
……
Ten days later. The provincial test list has been released.
The Wang family sent people early in the morning to see the list outside the Gongyuan.
Before noon, I heard the person who watched the list come back breathlessly and said, "Madam, Prince Wang...... The first place in the provincial examination of Wang Gongzi High School! ”
The one on the list in the state test is Juren, and the first place is called Xie Yuan. Those on the list in the provincial test are called tributes, and the first is called Huiyuan.
As a result, Wang Yixing not only won the Gongshi examination, but also ranked first among the Gongshi!
This is already a binary in the middle!
Wang stood up in surprise, "You really see clearly?" ”
"I can see it clearly. And just now, the messenger who reported the good news had already gone to the Wang family's house to beg for money! "The man ran out of breath. It was obvious that he was in a hurry to come back.
Wang Shi put his hands in harmony, muttered a few words of prayer in his mouth, and said, "Go and send the gifts we have prepared." ”
Then the man answered, and went out to give a message to the steward of the outer court.
In the courtyard of the Niu family in Cheshui Hutong, it is also boiling.
Up and down are talking about the first place in Wang Gongzi's high school tribute exam.
"Oops, this is a binary! I don't know if it will be connected to the three yuan! ”
If you win the champion in the next palace test, you will be in the third yuan.
Niu Xiaoye heard this, just like she was in the middle of the three yuan, she picked up the corner of her eye, and went to find her eldest brother Niu Dapeng with a handkerchief.
"Big brother. Let's go to Brother Wang's house! It's good to be happy! Niu Xiaoye said with a smile.
Niu Dapeng smiled and scratched her nose, "You're smart!" Knowing that the eldest brother is going now. -- Let's go together. ”
"Huh? Let's go now?! Niu Xiaoye touched his head in a panic. Dusting off his skirt again, "I haven't freshened up yet, and even the skirt is the one I wore yesterday!" ”
"It's fine. It's not an outsider, what do you do when you dress up? Brother Yixing doesn't care about this. Niu Dapeng said with a smile, pulled Niu Xiaoye and left.
Although Niu Xiaoye wanted to go back and dress up again, what she wanted most was to see Wang Yixing as soon as possible and say "Congratulations!" to him! ”
When I came to the door of the king's house, I saw all kinds of sedan chairs, carriages and horses parked at the door, and even many people stood at the door, waiting with their names.
There are people who recommend people, and there are people who are recommended, all waiting for opportunities here.
Niu Dapeng: They can't squeeze in at all.
Niu Xiaoye looked at this situation and couldn't help but say, "Good girl, why are so many people here?" ”
"Brother Wang's situation is not ordinary. Even the middle of the duality, it is a person who has to come over to set up friendship. It is appropriate to go into the sixth. Niu Dapeng said with envy.
He gave up the imperial examination and turned to business, although he also made some achievements, but it was not the same as Wang Yixing, who studied hard and flew to the branches in one fell swoop.
At the very least, Wang Yixing's social status in the future is something that Niu Dapeng can't catch up with no matter how much money he earns.
For the first time, Niu Dapeng carefully considered marrying his sister to Wang Yixing.
He touched his chin and pondered, "Let's go in through the back door." As he spoke, he led Niu Xiaoye to the back of Wang Yixing's house.
Niu Dapeng is used to coming, and everyone in the Wang family's house knows him.
Seeing that he came with a heavy salute, the doorman at the back door hurriedly let him in.
Niu Dapeng took Niu Xiaoye all the way through the flowers and willows, and went up to the second gate from the tree-lined path in the backyard, preparing to go to the outer courtyard to see Wang Yixing from there, which was exactly the opposite route for ordinary people to come in.
Niu Xiaoye saw that there were not many women in Wang Yixing's inner courtyard, and they were all older, so he couldn't help but ask quietly: "...... Is there anyone around Brother Wang? ”
Niu Dapeng knew who she was asking, and shook his head, "Brother Yixing is very clean, and there is no one in the room so far." ”
Even Niu Dapeng still has two rooms, but Wang Yixing doesn't even have a room.
Niu Xiaoye's heart is even hotter.
“…… Big brother, you ...... Go alone, and I'll wait here. The more Niu Xiaoye thought about it, the more shy he became, and he didn't dare to go to the front to see Wang Yixing.
Niu Dapeng thought for a while and said, "There are many people in front, and it's not good for you to go." You just wait here, and I'll come when I go. ”
Niu Xiaoye nodded, and said, "But people come and go here, and I don't know anyone, so I'm a little scared." ”
Niu Dapeng called a mother-in-law over and said, "This is my sister, I came here once before." I'm sorry for you to take her to the catkins pavilion over there and wait, I'll call Brother Yixing over later. ”
That woman knows Niu Dapeng. Also know the cow leaflets. took Niu Xiaoye to the catkins pavilion.
Next to the catkins pavilion is a small circular pond. The pond is filled with willow trees.
In spring, the catkins fly here, hence the name catkins pavilion.
Niu Xiaoye came to the catkins pavilion and waited.
The mother-in-law went to report to Wang Yixing's eldest girl, Cuizhi, and asked her to bring a cup of tea to Niu Xiaoye.
Cui Zhi and Wang Yixing's other big girl, Cui Xing, is packing Wang Yixing's bags for the palace test the day after tomorrow.
Hearing what the woman said, Cui Zhi was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much, nodded in response, and ordered the little maid to build tea. I took two snacks and put them in a food box.
When the woman left, Cui Zhi whispered to Cui Xing: "Phew! I don't know where I came from, but I want to be different when I come back......"
Cui Xing is a kind person, he smiled when he heard this, and said, "Okay, send it quickly." Don't get Childe in trouble. ”
"Hmph, it's obvious that the Niu family begged our son to get on the line with the second prince, and now he still wants to be on an equal footing with the son! Our son is even in the middle of the two, can they compare? "Cui Zhi is a fierce man, and he has been out of the Queen Mother since he was a child. Those who went to Jiangnan to take care of the second prince naturally had a little more momentum than ordinary subordinates.
The second prince sent the queen mother to his subordinates to Wang Yixing. It is not only to value him, but also to test him.
Wang Yixing unconsciously gathered these subordinates and became his confidants.
There are many people called by the second prince, and he doesn't care about these people.
Since Wang Yixing has the ability to envelop all the people sent by the Queen Mother, he will enter the court as an official in the future, and it should be no problem to socialize with other people.
Therefore, the second prince relied more and more on him.
Cui Xing said good-naturedly: "Otherwise, I'll send it." Look at your face, let the big girl know that she doesn't know what to do. ”
Cui Zhi bit his lip and hesitated, "...... Is she so powerful? ”
"Don't underestimate her." Cui Xing smiled again, although she is silent on weekdays, she sees people very accurately, "You have to believe that she is very scheming and unsuccessful, and you have become the eldest girl in the Shengguo Mansion." ”
Cui Zhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "I listen to my sister." Then my sister will send it for me. ”
Cui Xing nodded, "You put away the rest of the things, and I'll come when I go." As he spoke, he carried the tea box and ordered the little maid to carry the food box and go to the catkins pavilion with her.
Niu Xiaoye stood there holding on to the railing of the catkins pavilion, looking at the pond water in a daze.
"Big Cow Girl." Cui Xing greeted with a smile.
Niu Xiaoye seemed to be startled, turned around and came back to see Cui walking up the steps, immediately put on a smile, and said happily: "Sister Cui Xing, why are you here in person?" I don't dare to be! ”
It is very polite to Cuixing's "sister" is long and "sister" is short.
Cui Xing smiled: "Slaves don't dare to be slaves." The slave and maid are just subordinates, and they should not be called 'sister'. So saying, he placed the tea box and food box on the small stone table in the catkins pavilion, opened the lid, and took out the teapot, teacup, and saucer for snacks inside.
"Big girl, Niu, use it slowly." Cui Xing put away the things to eat and drink, and was about to leave as soon as he was blessed, but he didn't say a word.
Niu Xiaoye didn't let her go, and pulled her to talk, but no matter what she said, Cui Xing smiled good-naturedly, not saying good, nor saying bad.
Until a little maid ran over and beckoned to Cuixing: "Sister Cuixing, the steward of the outer courtyard came in on behalf of him, saying that a few more families were going to invite the son to the banquet, and even the queen's family and the queen mother's family had made posts!" ”
Cui Xing was taken aback, turned his head and saluted Niu Xiaoye: "Miss Niu, the slave has something important, you can do it yourself." As he spoke, he walked away with the little maid.
Niu Xiaoye squinted at their distant backs, feeling a little flustered.
She thought that Wang Yixing was a card person with her. Even the Shengguo Mansion's previous favor for Wang Yixing, she didn't pay attention to it.
Because in her heart, she has always thought that she is the same person as Sheng Siyan. Back then, they were classmates together in Wangjia Village, and Sheng Siyan's family was much poorer than her family, far inferior to their Niu family.
