Zhai Yuecheng's road to the imperial examination went smoothly. His mental abilities became stronger and stronger as time went by, and it became easier for him to study. It was common for him to draw inferences from one instance and draw inferences from others, let alone recite books. Therefore, The masters, including Jin Xiangrong, were very surprised by the speed of learning. They thought he was a genius in reading, but they didn't know why this genius showed his talent now. Is it because he was too lazy in the past?
Before Zhai Yuecheng met Jin Shichu, he was really lazy. After all, he had just escaped from the hell-like world of the apocalypse and finally came to a relatively peaceful place. He needed time to repair his heart.
What's more, he has to endure the violent and murderous spirit in his soul all the time. The reason why he doesn't go crazy is because of his strong mental strength. He has almost exhausted all his strength to suppress this kind of pain. Where can he still have the energy and mood? What books should I study and what imperial examinations should I take?
But when the original soul came to this world, his pain began to be relieved, his soul began to gradually become free, and his own violent and murderous aura was suppressed weaker and weaker, so he began to have the energy to focus on other things.
Even though at the beginning, he deliberately approached Jin Shichu and wanted to use her special characteristics to solve his own difficulties, but as he became more and more familiar with Jin Shichu and understood her better, he did not There was no other way to simply use her.
For the sake of the woman he got justifiably, this was his motivation for wanting to take the imperial examination.
When Zhai Yuecheng came out of the examination room where he had been staying for several days, he immediately saw Jin Shichu who was staring at the exit of the examination room with many people outside the door. The scene was just like the scene he saw when he came out of the exam not long ago.
"Zhai Yuecheng!" Jin Shichu stood up on tiptoes and waved to him excitedly, like a jumping bird. Her eyes were crooked and she smiled broadly. Anyone could see her bright smile, which was not like those reserved ones at all. Like a girl, even if she laughs she covers her mouth and laughs suppressed.
When Zhai Yuecheng saw her, he couldn't help but smile. His steps became brisk and he walked towards her quickly.
"Do you feel okay physically?" Jin Shichu asked as he put his hand on the pulse of his right hand.
Zhai Yuecheng let her move and joked: "When did junior sister learn medical skills? She can even take someone's pulse."
Jin Shichu snorted softly and said, "It seems that you are strong and you still have the energy to joke with me now."
"It's okay...don't you ask me how I did in the exam?" Zhai Yuecheng asked her.
"Looking at you like this, how bad can you be in the exam?" Jin Shichu rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't do well in the exam, you will definitely be dejected."
When Zhai Yuecheng heard what she said, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior sister really understands me."
He looked around and didn't see Jin Xiangrong, so he asked Jin Shichu doubtfully: "Why don't you see the teacher?"
"He said he was too lazy to pick you up..." Jin Shichu said with a smile, then lowered his voice and whispered to him, "Actually, dad is very nervous for you. When I came here, I saw him wandering around the house. Circle after circle, he just has a tough mouth."
Zhai Yuecheng couldn't help but laugh even louder: "You're right, the teacher has a hard mouth but a soft heart, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to your coming to pick me up."
"Stop talking, get in the carriage and have a good rest!" Jin Shichu felt his face getting hot inexplicably when he saw his pointed look. This guy was becoming more and more attractive.
Zhai Yuecheng was brought back to the Jin family by Jin Shichu, but he was not sent back to Qingyang Academy.
"Junior sister, thank you." Zhai Yuecheng said softly to Jin Shichu when he got off the carriage.
"Thank me for what?" Jin Shichu asked.
"Thank you for taking me home." Zhai Yuecheng held her hand.
Jin Shichu glared at him, shook off his hand, and said, "Don't push yourself too far. If my father sees it, he will beat you out on the spot."
Zhai Yuecheng chuckled. He was an orphan in this world, living alone with no relatives or friends. Before, he only wanted to be a salted fish in Qingyang Academy and live out his life peacefully.
But he didn't expect that a change would occur in his life, which would make him no longer content to live in peace with the world.
Even though the initial interactions with Jin Shichu and his daughter were purposeful, after such a long time, their father and daughter's feelings for him were sincere, and his heart, which had become cold in the apocalypse, actually had thoughts. He wanted to warm up, so he allowed himself to accept them completely, and they lived up to his expectations and reciprocated their sincerity.
After passing the Juren exam, Zhai Yuecheng began to become popular. When he passed the exam as a scholar, everyone was optimistic about him, but in the end it was just between fellow students. After all, although the reputation of a scholar is rare, this is the capital, the capital. There is no shortage of princes, nobles and dignitaries, so how can there be a shortage of scholars? So although everyone interacts with him, they are still waiting to see his potential.
But if he passed the exam this time, it means that he is very likely to pass the exam and enter the officialdom in the future. Therefore, some people who are keen on speculation will try their best to make friends with promising candidates, including but not limited to giving gifts. Juren donated gold and silver, married Juren...
Zhai Yuecheng was already a civil servant in his early twenties. He was good-looking, handsome and tall. Although his family background was slightly inferior, it was just right. If he became successful in the future, wouldn't it be his wife's family who would benefit? This time he is really a good candidate to win over and marry!
So he became a favorite. Not only his classmates began to introduce their sisters and cousins to him... Even the master in the academy began to hint that his daughters, nieces, and nieces were in their prime...
Zhai Yuecheng is such a clever person. Whenever someone mentions his marriage, he will say that he already has a sweetheart and is waiting to propose marriage after passing the Jinshi examination.
Those who were close to him naturally knew who his sweetheart was, and they teased him a few words when they heard his words; but those who were far away didn't know, and went around asking around, and after asking around, the news reached Jin Xiangrong's ears. went.
Jin Xiangrong naturally knew that he had thoughts about his daughter. Although he was unhappy, he also knew that his daughter would eventually get married when she got older, and Zhai Yuecheng was already the best candidate he could find. Therefore, he was unhappy because he already regarded Zhai Yuecheng as his daughter. Half a son-in-law.
Seeing that more and more people were thinking about him recently, Jin Xiangrong couldn't sit still and began to test his thoughts overtly and covertly, for fear that this relatively good son-in-law would be kidnapped.
How smart Zhai Yuecheng was. He immediately sensed the thoughts of his future father-in-law, so he immediately invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. He wanted to preemptively seize the title and get married when he passed the imperial examination.
Jin Xiangrong pretended to be reserved and refused twice, but agreed the third time. After agreeing, his whole face glowed, and he was obviously very satisfied with this son-in-law.
Jin Shichu was speechless. Her father was so awkward and duplicitous.
