Chapter 117 Admission
Rong Jue nodded, "Well, Sister Hua, please eat it quickly, it's very sweet."
Hualei nodded, peeled off the wrinkled candy wrapper, and put a round candy bean into her mouth. The candy bean was very sweet, even a little greasy, far inferior to the various flavors of fruit candies in her previous life. But Hualei's depressed mood was cured by the candy bean in an instant. Her round eyes narrowed into crescent eyes.
Rong Jin touched his sleeve pocket, which was empty. Should he put a few candy beans in it in the future? Rong Jin thought.
I looked at Rong Jue next to me. Hmm, he seems a lot pleasing to the eye than usual. How about canceling the punishment of double horse stance tomorrow?
The carriage turned a corner and entered the imperial city area.
No one spoke in the carriage.
"Rong Jue, are you confident that you will be admitted in this exam?" It was Han Qingge who broke the silence again and began to "care" about Rong Jue.
"Well, I think it's okay. I should be able to get in." After Rong Jue came back from the exam, he checked the answers with Xiao Yuan, and showed them to Master Ji and Rong Jin. Both Master Ji and Rong Jin said that the accuracy rate was very high, so he was still confident.
"Rong Jue is so amazing. He was able to get into the Imperial College at such a young age. I'm so happy for you." Han Qingge said softly.
"Well, I may not be able to get in, but... Master Ji said that there is a good chance that I can get in." Rong Jue was a little uncomfortable with Han Qingge's sudden "trust".
"That's amazing. Master Ji said you can get in, so you can definitely get in. You're so smart, you can definitely do it. I believe in you. Don't be like some people who don't live up to their reputation and try to take the exam. Not everyone can get into the Imperial College." Han Qingge glanced at Xiaoyuan who was sitting next to her and said meaningfully.
"That's right. I heard that Han Wenbing has taken the exam every year since he was ten years old. He has taken the exam four or five times but has never passed. Han Wenchang and Han Wenxing wanted to try the D-class exam with me this year, but the teacher of the clan school said, "You two guys who are at the bottom, don't go out and embarrass our Marquis Mansion teacher." Rong Jue said in a rough voice, imitating the clan school teacher's tone. Before he finished speaking, he laughed out loud, looking like he was ignorant of the world.
Han Wenbing is Han Qingge's cousin, the son of her uncle. Her father and uncle got married one year apart. Her mother had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with her first child, and Han Qingge was the second child. Therefore, Han Wenbing is one year older than her in terms of age, but in reality he is more than six months older. Han Wenxing and Han Wenchang are Han Qingge's legitimate and half-brothers, respectively. Both of them were at the bottom of the class in the clan school. Han Qingge couldn't help but blush.
Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly. Hua Lei gently closed her eyes. Some people really have the ability to make others crazy at any time. My mentality is already strong enough, but now I am so angry that my stomach hurts.
Pearl rolled her eyes inside. Really, why did Sister Hua ask her to come along? She is so annoying. I get angry when I see her. She speaks in a sarcastic tone. Can she not live without making trouble for a day?
Rong Jin, who was sitting opposite Hua Lei, saw Hua Lei's hands tightly gripping the stool, her knuckles slightly white from the force. She felt extremely regretful. She should have refused directly. Why did she let some people who shouldn't have come up, making everyone unhappy now?
Rong Jue sat opposite, looked at Han Qingge, then looked at Zhenzhu and Hualei, fumbled in his sleeve pocket for a while, took out two more candies, put one in Xiaoyuan's hand, and leaned over to put the other in Hualei's hand. "No more, only these two are left." Rong Jue opened his sleeve pocket to show everyone.
There are always a few annoying people in this world who drive you crazy from time to time.
But there are always a few people in this world who can make you feel warm from time to time. Hualei thought while holding the sugar bean in her hand.
The carriage gradually stopped.
Butler Pei knocked on the door outside the carriage and said, "Master, the street in front of the Imperial College is blocked, and the soldiers from the Five Cities Military Department have come out to maintain order. No carriages can pass. We have to get off and walk over."
"Okay." Rong Jin replied. He got off the carriage first, and then helped Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan down. Qingying, Chunhua and others who were following in the carriage behind also hurried up to help Hualei and Han Qingge.
When everyone got off the carriage, they saw that the intersection in front of the Imperial College had been cordoned off. No carriages could pass, and people had to walk.
"Butler Pei, this place is not far from my second sister's Nishang Pavilion. Ask the coachman to park the carriage there and take a few maids over there. We will walk to the Imperial College and meet up at Nishang Pavilion when we come back."
"Okay." After giving a few hurried instructions, Butler Pei returned to Rong Jin and followed him.
Hua Lei and his group slowly walked towards the gate of the Imperial College. On both sides of the road, there was a soldier from the Five Cities Military Department watching every few dozen meters. There were many people on the road, and they moved very slowly. They had to stop from time to time. The journey that usually took a quarter of an hour took more than half an hour.
The admission list was in sight. Hualei held Xiaoyuan's hand, feeling a little nervous. Qingzao, Qingsheng and two other guards helped clear the way. Rongjin protected Hualei, and finally they stood in front of the list.
A long list of admissions was posted on the wall. It was written in black and white, densely packed. Some people cheered loudly, while others sighed in regret. It was as lively as when the results of the spring imperial examinations were announced.
Hualei looked at the names on the list one by one. The admission list was different from the horizontal arrangement in the previous life. Here it was still arranged vertically, from right to left. Hualei felt dizzy.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyuan is accepted." Rong Jin shouted first.
"Where is it?" Hua Lei asked anxiously.
"On the right, the first one, did you see it? Hua Moyuan, Xiaoyuan is the first." Rong Jin said in surprise.
"I saw it, sister, I was accepted, I was accepted." Xiaoyuan also shouted, with uncontrollable joy in his voice. Hualei moved a few steps and moved forward. First place: Hua Moyuan. The words on the paper were clearly reflected in Hualei's eyes.
With a swipe, Hualei felt her eye sockets warm up, and tears were already falling. Great, great, Xiaoyuan can take part in the imperial examination in the capital city in the future. Before leaving, her grandfather had always told her that Xiaoyuan should continue to study and not give up, and she did it. If her grandfather were here, he would be happy. He would touch her head with satisfaction and say, my Lei'er, you have worked hard. If my father and mother knew about this, they would also be happy. How great it would be if they were all still here, how great it would be if they were all alive.
