Chapter 217: The Master of Pie-in-the-sky
Zong Wenxiu's eyes widened: "All passed? Jincheng, did I pass too?"
The little devil nodded excitedly: "You passed, brother. You are ahead of me. You are still better than me! But wait, I will soon surpass you!"
Zong Wenxiu grinned: "Okay, okay, it's fine as long as you pass, so that we can all take the imperial examination as an exception. Jincheng is very good, I'm waiting for you to surpass me!"
"Yeah!" The little devil nodded vigorously.
Xu Wan touched his head and said with a smile: "The great genius is really extraordinary. You did well in the exam. I will give you a big surprise when I go back."
The little devil's eyes were bright, and he asked expectantly: "What big surprise? Is it a reward?"
Xu Wan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a big reward for good children."
"Good child...haha, then go home quickly." The little devil urged, "Go home, go home, I want to open my big surprise."
"Hey, hey? So soon? Didn't you see the ranking yet? Did you see it? What's the ranking?" Zong Wenxiu asked anxiously.
Zong Jincheng held Xu Wan with one hand and pulled him into the car with the other, shouting: "Oh, it's all the same. Anyway, boys can take the imperial examination as an exception. What's the difference between the first and the second? Don't think too much, we are all the best!"
Xu Wan's shoulders shook with laughter. The little guy's mouth was really good at comforting herself. If he could really get the second place, he would brag about it. It seems that the ranking should be at the bottom.
But it's normal. After Luo Jingfeng's incident, she quietly changed her study direction. She didn't aim to get the top spot in the boy's exam, but to lay a comprehensive foundation.
The real test will be in the official imperial examination.
Yuanyang Marquis Mansion.
The news was the first to come back, so as soon as the few people got off the car, they started to set off firecrackers at the door.
The old marquis and the old lady stood at the door to greet them. When they saw the youngsters get off the car, several rows of maids, servants and guards stood behind them and said in unison: "Congratulations, Master Cheng and Master Xiu, you have passed the imperial examination!"
The momentum was so great and the slogans were so loud that the people around came to watch.
The little devil shouted out: "Grandfather and grandmother, I love you so much!"
The old lady's heart softened: "My little darling grandson, grandma loves you too, come quickly, let me see whose darling this is, he has literary talent, good looks, good character and good studies, when he grows up, he will be visited by matchmakers looking for marriage!"
The little devil was amused and giggled, he said proudly: "I told my mother to prepare the iron threshold a long time ago, but she still didn't believe it, grandma, you must believe me, right?"
"Believe it, believe it, my little darling grandson will say whatever he wants, tomorrow, oh no, I will have someone replace our threshold with iron!" The old lady agreed seriously.
Xu Wan: "..."
You really are, one dares to say, the other dares to do.
Several people entered the house happily, and the old lady also ordered people to distribute the prepared celebratory cakes to the people who came to watch, sharing this joy with more people.
Suddenly, more and more people came to the door of the Marquis's Mansion.
But the old lady didn't mind. If the cakes were gone, she would ask people to make them urgently or buy them urgently. In short, today is a happy day, so she has to give away gifts!
After entering the mansion, the little devil did nothing but chased Xu Wan and asked, "Where is the surprise, where is my big surprise?"
Xu Wan was still explaining the aftermath to housekeeper Liu: "Even if it is replaced with an iron threshold, it must be coated with a layer of wood on the outside, otherwise people will think something happened to our Marquis's Mansion if they see it."
"Yes, I will do it right away." Housekeeper Liu responded and left.
Xu Wan turned around and whispered to Cuizhi. Cuizhi's eyes lit up and nodded to get something.
"What?" The little devil rubbed his hands in anticipation, and finally he was so anxious that he pulled Xu Wan over, "I'll go get it myself."
Xu Wan said with a smile: "You can go by yourself, why are you pulling me?"
The little devil said as a matter of course: "That's what you gave me, how can the person who gives the gift not be present."
"That makes sense."
Xu Wan followed him and took the box that Cuizhi brought over. Zong Jincheng stretched his neck to see it.
Cuizhi smiled and held up the box. Xu Wan opened the box, took out the things inside, and handed it to him: "Return the jade intact to Zhao."
This was the jade pendant given to him by the old lady, worth several thousand taels, but on the day she just entered the mansion, the little devil took it to pay for a meal, and later he kept saving money to redeem it.
Unexpectedly, now, the jade pendant he had always wanted to redeem is right in front of him.
The little devil said in surprise: "Jade pendant! It's my jade pendant! It's the one my grandmother gave me!"
He took it and looked around with a treasure, and his mood now is completely different from that time. At that time, he didn't know how valuable the jade pendant was, nor how deep his grandmother's love for him was.
Now that he has grown up and understood these principles, when he looks at the jade pendant again, he feels very emotional, just like an old friend he has lost and found again.
The little devil was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He held the jade pendant and turned around several times, jumping and jumping: "My jade pendant is back, my jade pendant is back! What a surprise, I thought I would have to save up money for many more years to redeem it!"
According to the agreement Xu Wan made with him, sixty taels of silver per month, it really takes many years to save up.
Xu Wan smiled and said: "Please keep it well in the future. If you use it to pay for a meal casually, I will not redeem it for you."
The little devil nodded and promised: "No, no, I will never redeem the jade pendant again! Hehe, I'm so happy, mother, thank you for helping me redeem the jade pendant!"
Xu Wan smiled and said: "As long as you are happy."
She hesitated for a long time, but decided not to tell him the truth about the return of the jade pendant. Otherwise, he would not feel so strongly about the return of the jade pendant, and would not cherish it as much as he does now. Let him think that the jade pendant was redeemed by her with a large sum of money.
When the kid grows up a little bit, he will tell him about the rules of conduct of housekeeper Liu.
The little devil hung the jade pendant on his body again with great interest, and he turned around and asked proudly: "Does it look good? Does it look good?"
Xu Wan nodded and replied: "It looks good, what a handsome gentleman."
The kid was so excited that he screamed and ran out, "I want to show it to my brother, our jade pendants are the same, I was so envious of him wearing it before. Now we wear it together, as long as we go out and are seen, people will know that we are brothers at a glance!"
Xu Wan teased: "If you say so, your brother He Zheng may also want it."
"Haha, then I will buy it for him when I make money."
"So generous?" Xu Wan raised an eyebrow.
The little devil laughed: "Just saying it casually, I will be an official when I grow up, it is difficult to save so much money, there is no way to buy it. But He Zheng will be happy to hear it, he will be happy for many years!"
Xu Wan chuckled: "You are really a natural pie-in-the-sky master."
"What pie-in-the-sky master?" The kid was confused.
Xu Wan said faintly: "Pie-in-the-sky is to satisfy hunger, and plums are to quench thirst."
The little devil flipped through these two allusions in his mind and found that both stories were related to the supreme ruler. He immediately straightened his face and said seriously: "It seems that I am indeed a natural superior. I can do it without learning. I am gifted. In the future, I will definitely become a first-class official praised by even history books, and my name will be recorded in history!"
