The banquet held every three years for new members is a grand occasion, and naturally it will not be suspended just because someone falls into the water.
Cheng Wanwan asked Cheng Yi and Cheng Ding to escort the two children back, then came out of the cabin and returned to the deck of the cabin.
The governor had already arrived, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is your son in trouble?"
"Thank you, Mr. Governor, for your concern. Quanzi was just frightened. It's nothing serious." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "It's getting late. It's time for the banquet to begin."
The academic officer nodded: "Then please take a seat."
Officials and students found seats according to their rank and status.
At this moment, the cruise ship rowed slowly and slowly sailed towards the depths of the lake. The lake surface was sparkling and unknown flowers were blooming, which was pleasing to the eye.
After Cheng Wanwan chatted with the governor for a few words, his eyes moved and fell on the face of Lord Sitang, the head of the capital.
There was a warm smile on her face: "I heard that in this provincial examination, Lord Tang's son was also on the list. It seems that he was ninth?"
Mr. Tang quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The dog is not talented, he only got ninth place, not as good as Sui Shuren's son, please don't laugh at Sui Shuren."
"There is something wrong with what Master Tang said." Cheng Wanwan's face paled a bit, "If the ninth place will be laughed at, then shouldn't the 19th and 119th place be even more ashamed? In my opinion, every student who can be on the list is a pillar of our Yun Province and should be a role model for all students instead of being laughed at because of their ranking."
When she said this, the hearts of those who were ranked at the bottom were suddenly filled with gratitude.
Although they are on the list, they are only excited when they see the list. When they are with people who are better than themselves, they will inevitably feel inferior.
But Sui Shuren's words undoubtedly gave them great strength and courage.
They studied hard for more than ten years and finally passed the exam. Even if they were ranked poorly, they were recognized by the court. Why should they feel inferior?
If they can take another step forward, they will become the pride of Yun Province.
Even if they cannot become Jinshi, they are still the outstanding group of students in Yun Province.
The last one could not help but stand up, cupped his hands and said: "Everyone says that Sui Shu people are role models for women, but I think that Sui Shu people are as good as men and are also role models for us men. "
If one person flatters someone, he will naturally bring a group of flatterers.
“The pattern of Suishu people is worth learning from.”
"If I can be an official in the future, I will follow Sui Shuren's example and work for the benefit of the country and the welfare of the people."
"..."
Master Du Si Tang twitched the corners of his lips.
She is just a woman, and she deserves to be praised like this.
Having offended the He family, a century-old Zhongding family in the capital, this Suishu native could not go far at all.
However, this Suishu person's luck was really not that good. He tried again and again, but failed every time.
If he couldn't give the Suishu people a hard blow in Yun Province, the He family would most likely give up on the Tang family.
He tapped his fingers on the table, and an idea quickly came to his mind.
He stood up and said: "Quizi was lucky enough to be on the list this time. As a father, I couldn't help but feel happy, so I planned to prepare a banquet to celebrate. The time is set for the day after tomorrow. I also invite the governor, Sui Shu and everyone present to show their appreciation." Come have a drink.”
Cheng Wanwan raised an eyebrow.
She was thinking about going to Tang Mansion to do something, but now, the opportunity came to her door.
She nodded in agreement: "I plan to go to the capital in three or four days, and I will coincidentally catch up with Mr. Tang's family's celebration banquet, so I will go and have a glass of wine shamelessly."
Master Tang curled his lips and sneered.
When he arrived at the Tang family, he was in his territory. He had many ways to make this Suishu person unable to tell her sufferings, which was also an explanation to the He family.
The lake party was held until night.
When Cheng Wanwan took the carriage back, Zhao Sidan and Yu Zhan were still awake and reading with the study door open. When they saw her coming back, the two boys immediately came out to greet her.
Lu Yingxue complained: "These two children are not obedient at all. They were told to rest early and sweat, and they refused to go to the room. They insisted on waiting for you to come back. Sister Wanwan, can you find out who attacked Sidan? How dare these people It’s too big, you dare to do it in that kind of situation, it’s simply lawless!”
"It's not that Lord Dusi." Cheng Wanwan smiled, "Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with it."
Lu Yingxue blinked: "Do you need my help?"
Cheng Wanwan paused and said, "Then you come with me the day after tomorrow."
Lu Yingxue's noisy temperament is very suitable for attending the banquet tomorrow, and there will be a good show then.
That night, Cheng Wanwan was planning for the future. Although he already had a solution, he had to take every detail into consideration and win with one move.
Just getting up the next morning, while having breakfast, Cheng Yi walked in and reported: "Dear lady, there is news from Yangzhou. The crayfish poisoning incident three months ago and the death of Wan Guangyuan are all related to Yangzhou." Congratulate Tongji for his deeds, and behead him immediately. He will not be beheaded any time soon."
It took about three days for the news from Yangzhou to arrive. The Tang family probably got the news one day earlier than she did, so they couldn't wait to take action last night?
Three members of the He family have been killed by her, and she doesn't mind adding another member of the Tang family.
When she goes to the capital, she will make He Hanhai and He Ling pay the price for these repeated schemes.
The next day, Mr. Du Si held a celebration party for his son.
This is Mr. Tang's second provincial examination, and he got ninth place. He is already regarded as one of the best.
Mr. Tang is a military attaché of the fourth rank, and there is an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him. The gate is full of carriages, and many people come to congratulate him carrying gifts.
Cheng Wanwan, Lu Yingxue, and Mrs. Qi got out of the car, handed over the invitations, and entered through the main entrance.
She has a special status. When she arrives, the concierge will shout: "Sui Shu is here."
The guests who had arrived at the venue fell silent and saluted her in unison.
"No need to be formal," Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "I'm not a lady today, I'm just an ordinary guest. Please help yourself."
Mrs. Tang came forward and said, "Sui Shu people, please come in quickly and take a seat."
Cheng Wanwan looked at Mrs. Tang with a little more sympathy... She originally wanted to use Mrs. Tang as a breakthrough to break up the Tang family, but after monitoring for several days, she didn't hear anything dirty. This Mrs. Tang She is a qualified wife, a qualified mother, and a qualified wife, but her husband...
She followed Mrs. Tang into the courtyard and sat on the main seat.
She looked at a slightly younger woman who was following Mrs. Tang and said with a smile: "This lady is the second wife of the Tang family. When I first came to the provincial capital, I heard someone say that the second wife of the Tang family is young. At that time, she was the most beautiful woman in Cloud City, but now I see that the rumors are not exaggerated at all."
"Sui Shuren's words really upset me." Mrs. Tang Er was happy but a little embarrassed, "Now she is in her early thirties, and she still looks like she was young. Those people in the market are talking nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Tang has to be busy with guests. Mrs. Tang, please come over and talk to me."
Mrs. Tang Er was very happy to be able to talk to Lady Sui of the third rank. It was such an honor. She couldn't ask for it and immediately sat down next to Cheng Wanwan.
