Jiao Luan

Chapter 272 Title on the Gold List

"This... I have to wait until the crown prince is well before making any plans." Dow hesitated for a moment.

Zhao Jingming stood up straight: "What Madam Tao means, if the son has always been like this, then the child is going to be born?"

Tao Shi was silent for a moment and said: "Young Master Zhao, your father and your father are all well-educated and reasonable people, and they are also parents, so I hope they can empathize with each other. Duke Wei and I have only one son. If he really can't be cured, we can't let him He is extinct."

"Jingming understands, and will bring Mrs. Tao's words to his parents, but my parents also have something to ask Jingming to bring to Mrs. Tao."

"You said."

Zhao Jingming smiled faintly: "Our Zhao family is not a person who has fallen into trouble. Now that the son is awake, no matter what the situation is, he will marry my sister as scheduled. But if your family insists on letting the son's Tongfang give birth to the eldest son, our Zhao family's A daughter is not blessed to be such a aunt."

Zhao Jingming said goodbye and left. Dow was so angry that he told Wei Guogong what the Zhao family wanted, and he still insisted on his own opinion. Unless Han Zhi is completely cured, he must not get rid of Panpan's stomach. child.

Duke Wei had always felt guilty towards his wife because he was away in battle in his early years, and he also felt sorry for his wife's illness. Seeing Tao's insistence, he had no choice but to follow her wishes.

Half a month passed in such a hurry, finally the Zhao Mansion was unwilling to bear it any longer, and Li Lio broke off the engagement with Duke Wei's Mansion.

Duke Wei's family was of a noble family, first the eldest son was injured by a fall, and then the Zhao family retired, which immediately became the talk of the people in Beijing after dinner.

Zhao Qingkong has been researching the mechanism KitKat behind closed doors, but she was the last one to know about it from Zhao Jingming.

"Third Brother said, you gave me back the marriage?"

Zhao Jingming didn't dare to look into his younger sister's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Retired, it's the son of Duke Wei who is too much of an idiot. Don't be sad, younger sister. Parents will definitely find you a better one in the future."

"Oh." Zhao Qingkong didn't even move her eyebrows, instead she comforted Zhao Jingming, "Let my father and mother find it for me slowly. It's best to find someone with good character and less work. I'm not in a hurry."

Zhao Jingming looked dumbfounded, thinking what to do with such a maverick younger sister?
But he saw that Zhao Qingkong was really not sad, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, grinning and said: "You don't know, fifth sister, what father and mother insisted on giving some time to Duke Wei's government to see what they do, my heart has been hanging I'm afraid they will really dispose of that Tongfang."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingkong asked curiously, not at all aware of her ex-fiancee.

Zhao Jingming snorted coldly: "If you really deal with that Tongfang, you will marry me, and I can't bear my sister marrying a fool. Besides, even if the prince of Wei Guogong is well, it won't work. We haven't married yet. Let Tongfang get pregnant, what a good thing, if you really marry, you don't know how many troubles you will encounter, maybe you might as well be a fool to rest assured!"

The more he talked, the happier he was, clapping his hands and saying: "Anyway, this is great, Fifth Sister, Third Brother, please go to Baiweizhai to have a rubbing meal and celebrate."

Zhao Qingkong pursed her lips and smiled: "You can celebrate at home, but you don't need to go to Baiweizhai. If your parents know about it, you should scold third brother again."

The brothers and sisters of the Zhao family are in a good mood without mentioning it, but in Huairenbo's mansion, Cheng Wei's heart seems to be pressed by a stone.

According to the news that Ba Jin sent back a few days ago, Cheng Yao has disappeared!

The matter had already been reported to Master Cheng Er and Mrs. Han, and Master Cheng Er was furious and sent a few confidantes to look for it, but they did not allow their brothers and sisters to intervene in this matter.

In such a situation, Cheng Wei was helpless, and could only pray anxiously that Cheng Yao would die in some corner silently, and stop jumping out to harm others.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May, when the apricot list was announced, Cheng Che was at the top of the high school list, and the entire Huairenbo mansion was filled with joy.

Mrs. Han sent Cheng Che's pen and inkstone to Duke Wei's mansion, specifying that they would be given to Han Zhi, so that her nephew could be happy.

It's strange to say that Han Zhi really recovered soon after receiving the gift.

In this way, the joy of Duke Wei's mansion was no less than that of Huairenbo's mansion. Even Tao, who had always been at odds with Han, was very grateful when he saw Han, and the gift in return was extraordinarily generous.

At the beginning of June, Emperor Changqing personally presided over the palace examination.

Although Cheng Che grew up in Huairenbo's residence, this was the first time he could see Tianyan at such a close distance.

Splendid articles, young and handsome, how could the aging Emperor Changqing dislike him, but he encountered difficulties when he was appointed a first-class emperor.

According to the usual practice, there are three people in the first class, and the young and handsome ones are selected as Tan Hua.Of the three selected this time, Cheng Jiaerlang has outstanding looks and bearing, and the other two are nearly forty years old, and the other is over fifty years old. .

but--

Emperor Changqing quietly glanced at Cheng Che out of the corner of his eye, and then glanced again. For some reason, he just felt that this young man was attractive, and when he thought of letting him be inferior, he was inexplicably unwilling.

"Your Majesty—" Eunuch Tian, ​​the former imperial eunuch, reminded softly, with a calm expression on his face, but secretly muttering in his heart.

What's wrong with the emperor, he looks like he's in trouble?

The emperor's heart cannot be guessed. After he reminded him, he dared not make any guesses.

When Emperor Changqing was reminded by Eunuch Tian, ​​he sensed his loss of composure, coughed, and set a first-class ranking.

After Chuan Lu's roll call, all civil and military officials were shocked.

Obviously there is the second son of Huairenbo's mansion who is young and talented, but the emperor has appointed the one who is nearly forty years old to be the Tanhualang. This is really strange.

You must know that the ranking in the palace examination is entirely determined by the emperor. The three people who entered the first class are often difficult to distinguish between the talents of writing. Age, appearance, calligraphy, etc. have become important factors for ranking.

This time the emperor gave the No. [-] Scholar to the second son of Huairenbo's mansion, either because this second son is really talented and far superior to the other two, or because he has the favor of the emperor.

Those who are in the officialdom are more clever and less confused, the golden list has just been posted outside the palace wall, and there are already an endless stream of people who came to congratulate Huairenbo's mansion.

The No. [-] scholar paraded through the streets, Qionglin hosted a banquet, and the second son of Cheng had unlimited scenery for a while.

At this time, the Han family received the invitation from the princess.

The Crown Princess' body was getting heavier, although Han was worried about it, in order to avoid suspicion, he hadn't entered the palace for a few days, received an invitation today, and hurriedly brought Cheng Wei into the palace.

"Mother—" Crown Princess Cheng Ya stood up to greet her with her big belly.

Han walked a few steps quickly to support her, and said angrily, "Why do you get up with such a heavy body?"

Cheng Ya smiled and said, "I'm happy to see my mother and third sister."

Cheng Wei couldn't help but said: "In fact, in the later stage, you should walk more every day to facilitate production."

Han Shi completely trusted Cheng Wei, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You know a lot!"

The mother and daughter went in, waved back the maid and gossiped for a while before Cheng Ya turned to the main topic: "Mother, is there any prospect of the second brother's marriage?"

The question was so abrupt that Han couldn't help being startled.

Cheng Ya sighed: "I heard that after the Qionglin banquet, the eldest princess blocked the second brother..."
