On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

As soon as the ugly moment passed, Xu Shihuan climbed out of bed. Today is her first day at the Imperial Academy, so she must not be late.

After this period of renovation, Guan Mansion has taken on a completely new look. It stands to reason that the imperial court would arrange a place for a newcomer like Xu Shihuan to live. However, land in Yong'an City is very expensive, and even if you are a Tanhua Lang, the houses you can get are small and pitiful.

Xu Shihuan simply stayed in Guan Mansion and made other plans after she was promoted to an official in the future.

While Lingdang was washing her up, Xu Shihuan secretly closed his eyes again, preparing to squint for a while. She felt that as soon as her eyes closed, she heard the bell urging:

"Miss, it's time for you to go."

Xu Shihuan yawned loudly and reluctantly went out and got into the carriage. As soon as she sat down, she immediately dozed off. For the first time, she discovered that she could actually fall asleep in seconds.

After yawning for the last time, Xu Shihuan tried his best to cheer himself up and walked into the Hanlin Academy with his head held high. Now she is just a small self-examination from the seventh level. She does not need to go to court every day, otherwise she will have to go to court earlier.

It seems that her father is not that easy to be the prime minister. Just going to court every day can kill most of the people.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

"Master Wang, long time no see."

"Master Shen, I heard from my father that you hugged me when I was a child."

……

Although Xu Shihuan is not an introvert, he is not a talkative person either. But today, she had to force herself to become a chatterbox, chatting up a few words with every adult with a smile.

Most of the people in the Hanlin Academy were born in the first class. The status of Tan Hua Lang may attract some preferential treatment in other places, but here it seems a bit unappreciative.

Because Prime Minister Xu had greeted him in advance, Xu Shihuan would not be completely ignored here like Duan Qinglian, but that was all.

She, Jiang Zhuang, and Tan Hua were taken to a remote house. The house was filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelves contained history books, edicts, scientific examination papers and other books from the Wanhua Kingdom over the years.

"You three are new here, and there are still many things you need to get familiar with. I won't arrange specific tasks for you. You can make arrangements yourself."

The person responsible for leading them said this and turned around and disappeared. The three people looked at each other in confusion. After a long time, Jiang Zhuang hesitated and said:

"Arrange it yourself? So what should we do?"

Xu Shihuan walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book, and took a closer look at the contents of literature and history.

"Look at the books on the shelf, otherwise there's nothing else to do."

Xu Shihuan said with a hint of hesitation in her tone, and she was not sure whether what she said was right or wrong.

As for Tan Hua, he had no intention of participating in the conversation between the two. He stretched first, then yawned again, then stood up, took an unknown volume from the bookshelf, and found a remote corner to hide and rest.

This yawn seemed to be contagious. After Tan Hua spanked Jiang Zhuang, Jiang Zhuang spanked Xu Shihuan. Xu Shihuan felt that this was not going to work, so he quickly pinched the back of his neck with his hands, and then broke away from the continuous yawning.

Looking at Jiang Zhuang again, although he was holding a booklet in his hand, his eyes were clearly closed. He has been studying hard for too many years, and now he has finally entered the Hanlin Academy, but he doesn't want to live the same hard life again.

Something was wrong, Xu Shihuan's intuition told him that life in the Hanlin Academy was not so easy. She went to the bookshelf and carefully selected a few books she wanted to read, moved them all to a position near the door, and then began to read carefully.

At first, Xu Shihuan just wanted to show that he was studying seriously. In this way, when someone passes by and sees her studying the books here hard, they will have a good impression of her.

But as she looked at it, Xu Shihuan gradually realized that these things were not as boring as she imagined. Compared with the Four Books and Five Classics that you need to read when preparing for the imperial examination, the things here are more practical.

The Hanlin Academy was engaged in the work of compiling books, writing history, and drafting imperial edicts. But for newcomers like them, these are things they have never been exposed to before and need to learn from scratch.

The official responsible for taking the three of them was obviously busy with his own affairs and did not have the energy to guide them one by one. Therefore, the three of them were brought here and allowed to make their own arrangements.

Seeing that the two men were sleeping soundly with no intention of waking up, Xu Shihuan didn't want to remind them. In the Hanlin Academy, although they were colleagues, they were also competitors. Only by letting them perform poorly can they bring out their own excellence.

Before we knew it, it was noon. Jiang Zhuang and Tan Hua suddenly woke up when they heard footsteps coming from outside. Seeing Xu Shihuan still reading, he quickly whispered:

"Master Xu, it's time for lunch!"

When he heard them calling him to have a meal, Xu Shihuan quickly put down the book in his hand and followed the two of them out. As they walked, they listened to Tan Hua talking about the information he had found out before:

"The officials of the seventh to ninth rank of the Hanlin Academy eat together. I heard that there are five dishes, a bowl of rice, and if you are lucky, there will be soup."

With that said, the two of them quickly grabbed a convenient spot to pick up food, not forgetting to occupy a seat for Xu Shihuan. Xu Shihuan saw Duan Qinglian sitting not far from her, keeping a certain distance from her colleagues, looking a little embarrassed.

The five dishes include meat and vegetables, but the taste can only be described as average. Xu Shihuan has never been a picky eater, but he eats every bite of food and rice seriously.

Compared with Xu Shihuan, Jiang Zhuang and Tan Hua's eating habits can be described as vicious dogs attacking their food. The two of them complained while eating:

"Master Xu, you don't know how hard our lives are. The room I was assigned is almost full for just one bed, and there is no sunlight all day long. There is dog urine moss growing on the back of my door."

"Master Jiang, just be content with yourselves. Your house is a bit small. It's just doable and you can live in it. When you get off work in the afternoon, you can go to my place and have a look. There's a stench across from the toilet. I went out for a walk this morning. It took a long time before I dared to enter the palace."

"For people like us who come from poor families, if we want to live a good life quickly, there is only one way, which is to find a wife with an outstanding family background. Otherwise, this miserable life will never end."

"Master Tan, I don't understand. We both look pretty good, so why doesn't a young lady from a better family fall in love with us?"

"Master Jiang, let me tell you, now is not the time for us to be picky. If someone introduces you to someone with similar conditions, just agree quickly. A few days ago, my fellow countryman introduced me to a girl, and her father it is this."

As he spoke, Tan Hua held out three fingers, meaning that the girl's father was a high-ranking official. When Jiang Zhuang heard that someone had introduced Tan Hua to a girl from the Zhengsanpin family, he immediately became energetic and widened his eyes to indicate for him to continue.

Tan Hua looked around to make sure that what he said would not be heard by others, and then spoke carefully:

"I heard that she is a legitimate daughter. She is twenty-seven years old this year and became a widow a few years ago. She had given birth to a son and two daughters before, and she said that if I was willing, she would give me another son."

Xu Shihuan resisted the urge to spray rice, thinking that this was a good condition. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuang suddenly said in an envious tone:

"Actually, it's quite good. If you marry her, it's like picking up an eldest son and two eldest daughters for nothing. It's not a guaranteed profit. Mr. Tan, you must seize this opportunity."

"Pfft...cough cough cough...cough cough cough."

Xu Shihuan listened to the words of the two of them and looked at them with a little more sympathy. They thought that after being named on the gold list, a rapid rise to the top was waiting for them, but who could have imagined that life would turn out to be like this.
