Wife Kim An

Chapter 121

For more than a month in a row, the Song family has been thriving and flourishing at a speed beyond people's imagination.Not only the streets and alleys of Phoenix City, but the entire Dongmu is flying the Song family's flag.

At the beginning of March, Song Huayan, who was sent by Song Xiao to the hardest-hit area, returned slowly. Of course, she successfully completed the task assigned by Song Xiao, and made a fortune for the Song family.After the adult crown ceremony, Song Huayan became the second head of the Song family under the recommendation of everyone.

On April 21st, the final round of imperial examinations was held in the Baohe Hall of the Imperial Palace. The palace examinations only consisted of policy questions. Candidates entered at dawn, and went through roll call, paper rolls, praises, and salutes.Ke Lixin and Li Xiangran participated in it, and Yan Luofei was also there.

The policy issue this time is the corruption of officials, and the topic is self-made.

Yan Luofei saw the test question, smiled lightly, and wrote down the pen very confidently and calmly, writing like flying, and was the first to hand in the paper and leave the field.

Li Xiangran was stunned when she saw this test question. She scratched her ears and scratched her cheeks, and at the last moment forced out the required number of words. She left the test room at night with a dejected expression, but was surprised to find that Song Xiao was standing at the door with a lantern in her hand. Looking at himself with a smile.

She suddenly got a little excited, and ran over with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect you to be such a good friend! Waiting for me so late!"

However, when she opened her arms, Song Xiao passed her by.She watched Song Xiao walk slowly towards the boy behind her, and said lightly, "Mr. Ke, how did you do in the exam?"

Li Xiangran stared at Ke Lixin who was completely serious in her eyes with wide eyes like this, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "It's still good."

"Okay!" Song Xiao's voice rose briskly, and the lamplight reflected the smile on her mouth, which was extraordinarily heart-warming.Ke Lixin knew how much the woman in front of him had helped him to make it this far and take the imperial examination, but she never asked for anything in return...

"Congratulations that you have finally passed the evil imperial examination, let's go and have a big meal!" Song Xiao suddenly became ambiguous, "Right now, Lin Ruyan and Su Ye are cooking a table of good food!" The word "smoke" has been emphasized a lot.

Ke Lixin looked at her arm being held by Song Xiaoqiang, and twitched the corner of her mouth to argue: "Ruyan and I are not what you imagined...we are just..."

"Just what?" Song Xiao retorted with a smile, "An explanation is just a cover-up! Alright, let's go! Otherwise, the dishes will be cold, and Ruyan's painstaking efforts will be let down!"

"Song Xiao!" Li Xiangran, who was ignored in the cold, went into a rage.She roared, pulled Song Xiao's collar and said, "You actually know Ke Lixin! When did you know him! You are so familiar!" Back then, when she was silently nagging Song Xiao about the only man in the examination room , Song Xiaoming didn't respond at all!

Li Xiangran was surprised and said: "Could it be that you are secretly raising Shen Junyi behind your back..." The jealousy of the Shen family of the Song family has spread throughout the Phoenix City, and now no one has rushed to the Song family to talk about Song Xiaomei and persuade her Song Xiao spreads out, after all, not everyone can bear the cold face of the husband of the Song family, even every time she asks Song Xiao out to play, especially when drinking, she has to be prepared for the possibility of being stared at by Shen Junyi , that sharp look, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath in his hand at any time, makes one's heart tremble...

Afraid that Li Xiangran would say terrible words, Song Xiao quickly covered her mouth.

She laughed dryly: "This is not what you think..."

Li Xiangran was covered with her mouth, but she winked, her doubtful eyes almost verified Song Xiao's previous sentence "Explanation is to cover up"...

Song Xiao had no choice but to grit her teeth, and invited Li Xiangran to tonight's celebration, and slowly explained to her why she knew Ke Lixin.

"What is your topic this time? Why did you write it so late?"

"It's the corruption of officials." Li Xiangran scratched his head and said, "Not long ago, there was an incident of corruption in the magistrate of Nianchuan, so I discussed it accordingly."

"Corruption..." Song Xiaoruo thought about it, and then asked Ke Lixin, "Young Master Ke, how did you answer?"

"Corruption of officials in the DPRK and China involves a large number of people, and it is difficult to get rid of it. If it is serious, it will affect the root of the country. If you want to cure and prevent it, you must have good policies, supervision and management... However, it is even more difficult to achieve these points ...the court needs upright officials..."

In the middle of speaking, Ke Lixin felt that the surroundings were strangely quiet. He raised his head in a trance, but it was funny to see that everyone at the dinner table had already fallen asleep, and Song Xiao even lay down on the table, drooling a puddle.

Ke Lixin sighed helplessly, looked at the man in white who had quietly entered, and said gloomily, "Did I talk too hypnotically?" In fact, he only spoke at the beginning.

But the other party ignored him, just helped Song Xiao up from the table, gently wiped away the suspicious saliva from the corners of her mouth, and then hugged her princess.Song Xiao also hooked his neck with both hands obediently, pressed his whole face tightly against Nuan Nuan's chest, and murmured: "Jun Yi, hug..."

Watching Shen Junyi leave with Song Xiao in his arms, Ke Lixin couldn't help but enviously said: "The relationship between the two is really good..."

The palace, the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I have finished reviewing the papers, please approve your majesty."

Empress Feng Qi, who was resting in a light sleep, slowly opened her wrinkled eyes. She looked at the stacks of examination papers indifferently, and said, "It's so fast."

The three-year imperial examination is a good opportunity to select talents.The reason why she chose this topic this time is precisely because she encountered the same problem. No, in fact, the problem has troubled her for many years, but she still hasn't found a solution.

Feng Qi picked up the one on the far right on the table and read the full text with a frown.

Then, she picked up the second one, her frowning brows did not relax.

Almost all of the articles are full of great principles and empty words, and some even extol her in disguise in the articles, telling beautiful lies.The corruption of officials is easy to eradicate, if it is really easy, does she still need to worry?

She picked up the last copy with some disappointment, and began to read involuntarily.

"I have heard about the emperor's concerns. There are people in the court who are hard to get rid of. Corruption is still a chronic problem. Your Majesty has tried everything to prevent it, but it is still impossible to prevent. There was a magistrate of Nianchuan in the past, and there were many officials appointed by the court. The investigation. The grassroots believe that integrity is the most important thing. Your Majesty should cultivate honest officials and assist them..."

Song Mansion, Su Xiaoyuan.

Song Xiao nestled in Shen Junyi's arms, and the cool night wind blew away the smell of alcohol, making her slightly sober.Leaning on Shen Junyi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt very at ease for some reason.

Shen Junyi seems to be very busy recently, she always leaves early and returns late, and she is also busy with the Song family's affairs, so she collapsed on the bed from exhaustion as soon as she got back to her room.She suddenly discovered that after becoming the head of the family, she has almost no free time. She has to run around for the family business every day, and may go to other places at any time.The number of times she and Shen Junyi met alone was also pitiful, such a result was not what she wanted...

"Are you awake?" Accompanied by his deep and pleasant voice, a gentle kiss fell on her forehead lightly. Song Xiao raised her head in surprise, and saw the corners of Shen Junyi's mouth slightly raised, with a faint joy on his expression.

Song Xiao opened her mouth wide and said, "I, I drank alcohol today..." At this point, she flicked her tongue.Why is she an idiot who doesn't open which pot and which pot to lift? Shen Junyi is in a good mood today and won't be angry because she broke the agreement to drink.

Sure enough, Shen Junyi just gave a light "hmm" and didn't blame her.

Song Xiao withdrew slowly from Shen Junyi's arms, and found that the two were already on the bed.Her heart arose, and her eyes rolled around.

If Shen Junyi is in a good mood, it means that something good is coming!Then give him another piece of good news now, isn't Shen Junyi just within reach!

Shen Junyi likes to read books for a period of time before going to bed at night, all kinds of books, it seems that he can't sleep without reading.Could it be that the charm of books is more attractive than that of his wife, who is stripped naked beside him and is very lonely at night!So, one time, Song Xiao quietly hid the books in front of the bed in a fit of anger, and wanted to sleep with Shen Junyi, but at night, Shen Junyi went to the study and returned with a pile of books, deeply ignoring the wailing, sighing, and unbearable loneliness beside him. someone.

Today, Shen Junyi opened a book as expected, and seemed to focus on it as usual, ignoring Song Xiao who was undressing loudly beside him.Of course, the wandering eyes from time to time, the dazed eyes, and the reddish ear tips hidden in the hair clearly betrayed his disguise.

"Ahem!" Seeing that the undressing plan failed, Song Xiao coughed heavily, trying to get Shen Junyi's attention, but the other party still didn't raise his head.Angrily, she climbed onto the bed, put her hands behind her back, and deliberately sat on his lap, only then did the beauty in front of her condescend and lift up his precious head.

Seeing Song Xiao pouted with dissatisfaction, Shen Junyi laughed and said, "Song Xiao, why are you sitting on my lap?"

Smiling, not frowning.

Song Xiao immediately broke into a smile, knowing that Shen Junyi was still in a good mood at this time.

"Junyi, are you in a good mood today? Did anything good happen?"

"Probably." Shen Junyi said vaguely.

"I also have some good news for you today!" With his hand stretched out from behind, Song Xiao put a cookbook in front of Shen Junyi's eyes, and said mysteriously, "Jun Yi, do you know who wrote this cookbook? "

Shen Junyi's eyes tightened violently, and he picked up the book in front of him in disbelief.On the cover of the book, the word "recipe" is so familiar to him.

"It's my mother's handwriting!"

He opened the book in a panic and kept turning the pages.

"Yes, this is what my mother found by chance. It was a cookbook given to my mother by my mother-in-law. However, at that time, my mother was busy with family affairs, so she accidentally put it on the bottom of the box and forgot its existence in a blink of an eye. .”

Song Xiao was very proud because she found Shen Junyi's mother's relic. She remembered that Shen Junyi once said that the sword was the only relic his mother gave him. Now, there is no longer only one thing belonging to his mother!

"Jun Yi, let's go to bed early today." Song Xiao finally stated her purpose for tonight, but the other party, immersed in the excitement of flipping through the book, completely ignored her.

When Song Xiao's upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting, Shen Junyi finally read the recipe hastily, and his expression of joy subsided, showing a completely lost and helpless look.

"Not this...not..."

There are no interleaved pages, no special imprints, and what is written in the book are all ordinary recipes.Perhaps, this is really just a gift from mother to Song Xin.

Shen Junyi grabbed the shoulders of Song Xiao who was unconscious and was about to fall asleep, and asked eagerly: "Song Xiao, what did my mother give mother! Did you..."

He swallowed the word list into his throat, and under Song Xiao's obvious frightened expression, he hugged her tightly in his arms and stroked her back soothingly.

"Xiaoxiao, my mother's relic is very important to me, so I was a little excited just now..."

Recently, his investigation has become more and more clear. He knows that the time for his vengeance is not far away. He needs that crucial list to end this matter early!
His time is running out...

On the second day, Song Xiao happily wanted to surprise Shen Junyi with the dishes on the recipe, let him taste his mother's craftsmanship again, and successfully used the dishes on the recipe to conquer Shen Junyi's stomach, heart and people!

Unexpectedly, most of the cooked dishes were too salty, full of heavy taste, and the rest were hard to swallow, extremely unpalatable.Song Xiao was very puzzled, she had heard from her mother that Shen Junyi's mother's cooking was also top-notch, why the recipes she made up were all messed up, for example, it was sweet and sour pork tenderloin, why did she add [-] grams of salt!

Song Xiao scratched his head and stared dryly at the menu for a long time, but he still didn't think of anything as a matter of course.

At the end of April, the results of the imperial examinations were announced.

Yan Luofei was in a good mood and dressed up at Yan's house, waiting for her high school champion.She was so confident that she didn't even glance at the imperial examination results posted on the city gate in the morning.

Suddenly, the salute in front of the door roared, and Yan Luofei, dressed in brocade clothes, accepted the examination letter sent by the Ministry of Rites with a smile on his face under the admiring eyes of everyone.

She knew that with her talent as a talented woman, it was more than enough to win the title of champion.The reason why she failed in the previous two exams and did not win the first place was because Feng Han's death had hit her too hard, causing her to be overly sad and distracted, and she didn't use her full strength.But this time, she made complete preparations. When she took the exam, she had already discovered that Ke Lixin was a man!Such a man may be able to achieve something by reciting poems and painting, but how much insight can he say in terms of national theory!What's more, this time the topic is corruption!

"Congratulations, Miss Yan, second place!"

Yes, No. [-]... Of course she is No. [-]!
"What, No. [-]?!" Yan Luofei screamed, as if she had heard some terrible news, she asked repeatedly, "What did you just say?" How could it be No. [-]!

"Congratulations, Ms. Yan, you got the second place in high school! Tomorrow at noon, the queen invites..."

Yan Luofei opened the letter in shock. It wasn't the other party's mistake, it was written with the word No. [-]!

She asked anxiously, "Who is the number one scholar?"

"Ke Lixin, Mr. Ke."

Yan Luofei almost fainted, she lost to a man three times in a row!How could she swallow such humiliation!

Ke Lixin was the last one to receive the exam letter from the Ministry of Rites, because Qingmo Villa was in the suburbs.

Of course he knew the result early in the morning, he was dragged by Song Xiao and Lin Ruyan to the place where the list was posted early in the morning.

At that time, the place where the list was posted was already crowded with people. Some people came here full of ambitions and left angrily, and some people had a gray face after reading the results.Looking at the crowd, he had the idea of ​​shrinking back, thinking that it would not be too late to wait until there were fewer people.However, Song Xiao obviously misunderstood, thinking that he was sweating profusely because he couldn't wait.

"Don't be so anxious about what to say. In fact, I really want to know the result! What's awkward, just watch it if you want!"

Ke Lixin was pushed towards the crowd by Song Xiao, his breath was filled with the smell of women's sweat, his body pushed each other, and the intimate contact made him very uncomfortable.

In this way, being pushed to the innermost place vigorously by Song Xiao, Ke Lixin rushed forward and almost fell to the ground.

He raised his head, took a deep breath suddenly, and then let it out slowly.

At the entrance of the eyes, his name is prominently hung on the top.

Ke Lixin - champion.

It's all like a dream.

Afraid that he would not wake up in the morning, he pinched his palms countless times, rubbed his eyes more than a dozen times, and read it more than a dozen times. He was sure he was the champion!

At this moment, Ke Lixin suddenly felt that this life was worth it!He studied hard day and night, traveled around in order to take the imperial examination, and was underestimated in various ways because of his status as a man... However, he persevered in everything.

Today, no one knows better than him how difficult it is to walk step by step... He broke, broke the indestructible myth that men cannot go to high school...

His life will have a new starting point...

"The champion this time is actually a boy, only 17 years old!"

"Second Miss Yan turned out to be second place..."

"A man must be recommended by someone to take the imperial examination. I heard that the number one scholar this time was recommended by the second emperor's daughter. He also ranked first in the first two exams. It can be said that he won three yuan in a row!"

"No wonder, the second Miss Yan has been compared..."

"Second princess is really smart!"
