Chapter 141 Reject Cao Guozhang

Xu Wenhui naturally wouldn't say what he had to say about Qi Heng's inclusion on the list, so he said with a little regret:

"Wen Hui has a good relationship with the Erlang of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and is well aware of his extraordinary literary talent, but I didn't expect that he would help Wuming this time!"

After hearing this, Cao Guozhang suddenly realized that this was what happened.

He had vaguely heard someone mention Princess Pingning's dissatisfaction with the Sheng family.

Now that Xu Wenhui was married to the Sheng family, he thought Xu Wenhui had any objections to Qi Heng!

Now that I see that it doesn't seem to be the case, I feel a lot more relieved.

But thinking of Gu Tingye's reputation, Cao Guozhang looked at Xu Wenhui in surprise,

"That Erlang of the Gu family is actually valued by Wen Hui?"

Obviously, for Gu Tingye, Cao Guozhang, an outsider who didn't pay much attention, had the same impression as ordinary people, thinking that Gu Tingye was still an unlearned and unskilled libertine!

Xu Wenhui smiled and said:

"I don't dare to say that I think highly of him, but I just know that Gu Tingye also studied in the Sheng family. I heard my cousin's articles commenting on him, and I thought he would be included in the gold list. I even prepared gifts, but I didn't want to..."

At the end, he shook his head, obviously with a look of regret!

Cao Guozhang nodded slightly and said nothing more. It was obvious that he just asked about Gu Tingye's affairs casually and didn't attach much importance to it.

His mind returned to Qi Heng, Cao Guozhang smiled and said:

"Wen Hui, Qi Heng from Duke Qi's mansion is on the list this time. How about you come with me to congratulate him after you leave the office?"

He was thinking about Princess Pingning's disdain for the Sheng family. Although it was not a big deal, he still wanted to take the opportunity to resolve it!

Xu Wenhui shook his head and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao! Sheng Changbai of the Sheng family has also won the Jinshi. I want to go and congratulate him!"

The smile on Cao Guozhang's face faltered slightly. He understood what Xu Wenhui meant.

This has no intention of going to the Qi family to congratulate me. It doesn’t take long to come and say a few nice words.

Xu Wenhui can definitely go to the Sheng family after leaving the Qi family!

Still thinking about why Xu Wenhui was so disrespectful, Cao Guozhang quickly recovered his smile on the surface, pretending to be stunned, slapped his forehead and said with a smile:

"Oh, look at my brain. With the current relationship between Wen Hui and the Sheng family, you will naturally go to the Sheng family first!"

Xu Wenhui hugged his fists at Cao Guozhang to apologize!

After leaving the Yamen,

The two of them parted ways,

Since I have told Cao Guozhang that I am going to the Sheng family,

Xu Wenhui had no choice but to go and meet him.

So I went straight to Jiying Lane!

Arriving at the door of Sheng’s house,

Xu Wenhui was surprised to find that the door of Sheng's house was quiet.

There is no sign of celebration,

You know, on his way here, he heard a lot of gongs, drums and firecrackers.

Why is the Sheng family so quiet? It almost makes people think that his family is a candidate who has landed!

But Xu Wenhui soon remembered that the Sheng family might be worried about the Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

After all, we study together and take scientific exams together.

When people become successful, even if they become Jinshi in their own family, it’s hard to make it public!

Xu Wenhui is considered the uncle of the Sheng family, and he is from a noble family.

The servants of the Sheng family all know each other,

While leading Xu Wenhui toward the door, he quickly sent someone to notify the master of the family!

quickly,

Sheng Hong walked over with a smile on his face, followed by the equally proud Wang Ruofu, and Sheng Changbai was also there.

But Sheng Changbai only had a slight smile, not as showy as Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu!

Sheng Hong smiled from afar and said:

"Hahaha, Hui'er, Hui'er, I was wondering when to inform you, but you came first! Haha!" Xu Wenhui cupped his hands towards Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, and then said with a smile:

"The imperial examination is a major event for the country, not to mention Brother Zecheng is here, why doesn't Wen Hui pay attention? Didn't I just come here after hearing the news!"

Then he congratulated Sheng Changbai:

"Brother Zecheng! Congratulations! Han Chuang has been studying hard for many years, and finally the clouds cleared and the sun came out!"

"Where, where! It's just a small improvement!"

Everyone exchanged a few words.

In addition, Xu Wenhui was not considered an outsider, so they went to Shou'an Hall to celebrate together.

Although the Sheng family does not dare to be lively to the outside world,

But there was a banquet at home!

But this excitement obviously does not belong to Lin Qige.

Xu Wenhui arrived at Shou'an Hall and took a look.

None of the three people from Linqige were here.

He was probably licking his wounds silently behind his back!

After all, Sheng Changbai became a Jinshi, and his direct lineage's status became more stable!

Relatively speaking, Lin Qige naturally has a hard time making it public!

……

Not to mention Xu Wenhui greeting everyone at the Sheng family,

Let’s talk about Cao Guozhang,

After he and Xu Wenhui separated, he went straight to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

In fact, with the relationship between the Cao family and Princess Ning, there is no need to come over to congratulate today.

At that time, Cao Guozhang was happy to invite Xu Wenhui but said it casually, but since Xu Wenhui refused,

Cao Guozhang felt that something was wrong here and it was necessary to ask what was going on!

When Cao Guozhang arrived near Qi's house,

From afar, I could feel the roar of gongs and drums, and the blast of firecrackers.

It can be seen how lively the Qi family is because Qi Heng is a Jinshi!

Cao Guozhang came closer and took a look,

The three members of Qi Guogong's family were watching people setting off firecrackers at the door.

Even Princess Pingning, who used to be as cold as ice, was smiling from ear to ear.

Needless to say, Duke Guo of Qi’s mouth reached to the back of his head!

Only Qi Heng looked normal, but he could also tell that he was in high spirits and quite proud!

Cao Guozhang saw everyone in the Qi family,

Naturally, the three members of the Qi family also saw Cao Guozhang.

Cao Guozhang's status is extraordinary, he is still considered an elder.

The three members of the Qi family hurriedly walked down the steps to greet him!

Princess Pingning took the lead and greeted her enthusiastically.

"Oh, why didn't I tell you in advance when my uncle came in person? Just in time, I have to tell you some good news. My Heng'er has been named to the gold list!"

She couldn't help but be enthusiastic about Cao Guozhang. After all, her glory came from the favor of the emperor and the empress.

Cao Guozhang is the queen's biological brother! To a certain extent, he represents the queen outside!

Duke Qi and Qi Heng also saluted Cao Guozhang behind Princess Pingning!

"Haha, you don't need to tell me, I just came here after hearing the news!"

As he spoke, Cao Guozhang happily stepped forward and patted Qi Heng on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"What a good boy, you are so impressive. You actually passed the exam in one go. It really makes your parents look good!"

"My uncle is overly praised. Heng'er just lived up to his years of hard work. It's nothing!"

"Hahaha, good boy, you are so humble!"

A few people chatted and laughed, and then entered the house together!

Then he said some unnutritious words,

Cao Guozhang had something on his mind, so he called Princess Pingning aside alone.

"There are no festivals between your family and the Xu family, right?"

Princess Pingning was very surprised when she heard this. The affairs of Qi Heng and Xu Wenhui were kept secret and had not been spread.

Why would this uncle ask this? Did he hear something?

Princess Pingning said calmly:

"Brother-in-law, why do you ask this? Our Qi family and Xu family are family friends, and there is no dispute between them!"
