The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 256 Double Happiness
In August, the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, and students, with the expectations of their families, travel to various prefectural cities to participate in the autumn imperial examinations held once every three years.

October is fast approaching, and autumn is drawing to a close. Pedestrians on the street are all wearing padded jackets.

Today is the day the results of the provincial examination are released. The results are released simultaneously in the prefectural city and various counties, so students in the county towns do not need to make a special trip to the prefectural city to see the results.

"Sis, there might not be any seats left soon, let's hurry up." Xiao Huan ran from the front yard to the back yard and met a man and a woman walking side by side in the garden.

"Dr. Duanmu, when did you arrive?" Xiao Huan took Shang Wan's arm and greeted Duanmu Kui with a smile.

Duanmu Kui: "Just arrived."

"Perfect timing, let's go to the county government office together to see the results."

Xiao Huan turned to Shang Wan and said, "Brother-in-law took Yuan Yuan to reserve a spot first, let's hurry up and go too."

The entrance to the county government office was crowded with students and their families waiting to see the results, as well as other people who came to join in the fun.

Lu Chengjing and Shi Tou stood in a less crowded area on the outer edge. Shi Tou stared longingly at the county government gate, his clenched palms sweating profusely, even more nervous than when he took the imperial examination for the first degree.

On the contrary, Lu Chengjing, the person involved, stood aside as if nothing had happened, occasionally turning his head to look at the street corner.

Yuanyuan, held in Lu Chengjing's arms, was a head taller than the others. She spotted their carriage immediately and quickly patted her father's shoulder, "Father, there."

Just as Lu Chengjing was about to carry his daughter over, the clerk and two constables came out of the door to post the notice.

The crowd immediately erupted in noise, pushing and shoving forward, eager to be the first to see the result.

The stone was squeezed so badly, but seeing that it was getting closer to the red list, it chose to give up resisting.

The crowd jostled excitedly, and Lu Chengjing could no longer look for Shang Wan. He protected the child in his arms as he walked out of the crowd.

The stones on the left and right have already gone in, so one more won't make a difference.

"Ouch!"

Just as Lu Chengjing stood still, a boy was pushed out by the crowd, lost his balance, and fell flat on his backside.

"Ah Le, where's your young master?"

Ah Le was rubbing his bottom when he heard the sound and looked up. "Young Master Lu, what are you doing here?"

He knew he'd asked a pointless question as soon as he finished. He was there to check the list for his young master, and Young Master Lu was there to check the list too.

"My young master finds it too crowded and is waiting in the carriage," Ah Le said cheerfully as he stood up. "Master and Madam are also here."

Since the second wife separated and started living separately, the master and mistress no longer quarrel, and their affection is even stronger than before. The young lady has also married someone else, and their young master's life couldn't be more comfortable now.

Ah Le turned to look around, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you all alone?"

Before Lu Chengjing could speak, he continued, "Is the Spirit Medicine Pavilion too busy for Manager Shang to spare? If you're carrying the child, don't go in and squeeze in. Find a place to rest, and I'll help you take a look."

After saying that, he spotted a gap in the crowd and, like a pin, precisely slipped into it.

Its small body was like an eel, swallowed up by the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chengjing, who hadn't uttered a single word: "..."

"Daddy!" Yuanyuan grabbed Lu Chengjing's clothes and shook him, hurrying to find her mother.

In the distance, the carriage stopped, and Xiao Huan stood on it, waving to Lu Chengjing, "Brother-in-law! Over here!"

Lu Chengjing strode over, and Yuanyuan immediately threw herself into her mother's arms.

Without Shang Wan asking, Lu Chengjing took the initiative to say, "Shitou squeezed in to see the list, but I was worried about bumping into Yuanyuan, so I came out."

"Then let's wait and see." Shang Wan looked at the red notice board in the distance.

They were too far away for Shang Wan, even with her exceptional eyesight, to see what was written on the paper.

"He won! My young master won!"

"It's me, it's me! Hahaha, I won!"

"Waaaaah, I'm not on the list again! I'm going to jump into the river!"

"Let me see who's in first place."

"Third Aunt, did you find Da Shun's name?" Shi Tou, who had finally managed to stand still after being pushed aside, completely blocked out the noise around him and stared intently at the list.

Stone had confidence in his brother-in-law and started by looking at the first place.

"Lu, Cheng, Jing".

Shi Tou opened and closed his eyes repeatedly, staring at the three small characters four or five times. After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, his mouth widened in a grin, and suddenly he roared with great force, "My brother-in-law is the top scholar! The top scholar!!"

This shout made everyone cover their ears.

Alright, alright, I know your brother-in-law is a top scholar in the imperial examinations. So what if he's a top scholar? No need to get so worked up...

Wait, Jieyuan??

This kid's brother-in-law is a top scholar in the imperial examinations!

Who is this kid?
Several gazes fell on the stone at the same time. The stone grinned so wide that his eyes disappeared, looking like a complete idiot.

Just then, Ah Le finally squeezed to the front of the red list and saw his young master's name in the middle. He shouted happily, "My young master won!"

"Make way, everyone make way! I'm going to deliver good news to the young master!"

"Sister, Xiao Huan!" Shi Tou rushed through the crowded throng to his family's carriage, his face flushed with excitement. "Brother-in-law won first place!"

"Really?" Xiao Huan asked with a look of surprise.

“How could it be fake?” Stone pointed to his eyes. “I looked at it ten times. It’s definitely my brother-in-law.”

"Congratulations." Duanmu Kui smiled and congratulated Lu Chengjing.

"Daddy, you're great!" Yuanyuan jumped into her father's arms and kissed his face twice.

Lu Chengjing looked at Shang Wan, and Shang Wan leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, Lu Chengjing's smiling eyes instantly went blank and wouldn't move.

"What's wrong with brother-in-law?" Xiao Huan waved her hand in front of Lu Chengjing's eyes. "He can't even blink anymore. Sister, what did you say to him?"

Shang Wan's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and she was about to speak when suddenly Lu Chengjing pulled her into his arms.

Yuanyuan, squeezed between her parents: "??"

The baby's going to turn into a meat patty!!

Lu Chengjing lowered his head and took two deep breaths into Shang Wan's hair before slowly releasing her.

Shang Wan glanced at him sideways, "Can you talk now?"

say what?
Xiao Huan and Shi Tou both looked at Shang Wan, their heads full of question marks.

"I'm pregnant," Shang Wan said with a smile. "A little over a month."

Two people: "!!!"

After a two-second pause, the two jumped up at the same time, overjoyed and excited, just like monkeys.

Lu Chengjing instantly felt that his performance just now was particularly good; at least he didn't turn into a monkey, right?
"What's wrong with you two?" Qiao Yu'an came over to congratulate Lu Chengjing, but was startled by Xiao Huan and Shi Tou's excited gestures.

Being the top scholar in the provincial examination is not the same as being the top scholar in the imperial examination. There's no need to be so happy, is there?

Why do these two look like they've gone mad?
Xiao Huan kept talking about preparing nutritious meals for her sister, completely ignoring him.

Stone started guessing whether he would have another niece or nephew, and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Qiao Yu'an: "..."

Is he really that disliked by these two?

Lu Chengjing didn't want to publicize it, but he couldn't help sharing his joy with his friends.

Qiao Yu'an was stunned for a second when he heard that Shang Wan was pregnant. He wasn't even married yet, and Cheng Jing already had two children?
Should we be leading him by such a large margin?

He looked at his friend, who was unusually relaxed and had a happy expression on his face. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he suddenly smiled.

So what if we're behind? Now that we have two pieces of good news, Chengjing's hard times are finally over.
