"Brother, it's nothing!"
Minglan stood up carefully, slowly sat next to Sheng Changquan, took his hand, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry too much about your ranking, as long as you pass the exam!"
"And you are still young now, so it doesn't matter if your writing is not good for a while."
"No matter what, as long as you win and qualify for the college exam, that's all!"
"Well?"
Sheng Changquan was a little confused by Minglan's words, and he let go of his worries for a while.
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
Sheng Changquan looked at Minglan in confusion and said, "I did okay in the exam this time!"
"Uh-huh!"
Minglan couldn't help but smile a little when she saw her younger brother's sullen expression. She simply didn't reveal his mask and just said, "Since you did well in the exam, then stop making a sour face!"
"You know, you look really ugly!"
Minglan rubbed Sheng Changquan's collagen-rich fair face with some "jealousy" and said with a smile, as if she was playing intimately, but the strength in it could be seen from her red palms. Obviously, she was "revenge" for what Sheng Changquan had preached to her before.
Speaking of which, Sheng Changquan not only has a fair and smooth face, but his whole body, even his hands, which he has practiced martial arts for many years, are all tender and smooth, without any calluses. It seems that he is an elf carved from a piece of warm jade. Ordinary, different from ordinary people.
In this regard, Minglan, who knew her brother well, was naturally very jealous. She always wondered why there was such a big difference between the two siblings. At the very least, Minglan did not have such good skin.
"Sister, you..."
Sheng Changquan, who had his sister rub his face vigorously, felt helpless and couldn't resist, so he just rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
"puff!"
Seeing her brother's attitude of letting her "do whatever he wanted", Minglan finally laughed out loud happily.
"That's right, brother!"
After the siblings played around for a while, Minglan finally talked about another thing.
"I have another happy event to tell you!"
"What's going on?"
Sheng Changquan protected his cheek and replied angrily.
"Auntie will be here in a while!"
"aunt?"
Sheng Changquan was stunned for a moment.
"yes!"
Minglan nodded happily and said to Sheng Changquan: "When you went to take the child examination a while ago, your aunt had already asked someone to send you a letter, saying that you would come to Beijing after the spring planting."
"I guess it will be in the next few days!"
Thinking of Aunt Wei, Minglan couldn't help but smile a little: "Speaking of which, you have never seen your aunt since you were born, right?"
"Um."
Sheng Changquan nodded, but did not express his true thoughts.
In fact, she had already met Sheng Changquan when she was born. After all, because of Wei Xiaoniang's incident, Aunt Wei specially visited the gate of Sheng Mansion.
Fortunately, he has a strong memory, so Sheng Changquan can still remember Aunt Wei's appearance.
"I don't know, after all these years, is my aunt still the same?"
Minglan sat next to Sheng Changquan and said with admiration.
Perhaps, in Minglan's heart, she could only get the care of a mother from Aunt Wei. After all, Aunt Wei and Xiaoniang Wei were biological sisters.
However, in Sheng Changquan's memory, he felt that Aunt Wei and Xiaoniang Wei were different. Although their appearance was somewhat similar, their temperaments were completely different.
Wei Xiaoniang's temperament is as gentle as water, moisturizing things silently, but Aunt Wei is different. Perhaps because she is the youngest sister in the family, she has more of that passionate and powerful temperament. The sonorous feeling!
Sometimes, Sheng Changquan often thinks, if Aunt Wei was in Wei Xiaoniang's situation, how would she react?
Presumably Aunt Wei will not swallow her anger. In fact, judging from Aunt Wei's temperament, she is more likely to explode and tear everything apart without leaving any traces in it. .
"Well, sister, is there anything going on when aunt comes to Beijing?"
Recalling his aunt's stubborn temper, Sheng Changquan suddenly asked: "I remember that we had been writing letters asking my aunt to come to Beijing before, but she refused, so why is she willing this time?"
Sheng Changquan felt there was something fishy about it. Could it be that something happened to his aunt's family?
"Not sure."
Hearing Sheng Changquan's question, Minglan shook her head and said, "However, aunt said in the letter that she came here to tell us something important."
"I guess it's something big, right?"
In fact, Minglan was a little confused about her aunt's coming to Beijing this time. However, although she didn't understand, Minglan was very happy for her aunt to come over. After all, Aunt Wei was the last relative of Minglan's family!
"Is it something important?"
Sheng Changquan pondered the meaning and gradually frowned.
"Could it be that aunt discovered something?"
…
Shengfu.
When the Minglan siblings came back, Sheng Hong had not yet left office, so apart from Sheng Changbai, who was studying hard behind closed doors and preparing for the exam, only Mrs. Sheng was at home.
In the Shou'an Hall, Minglan took the lead and muttered to the old lady for a long time. Sheng Changquan was thinking that it was his sister who was reporting her achievements to the old lady.
really.
"Quan'er, did you win?"
There was some joy in the old lady's tone. Although Minglan had already said it, the old lady still wanted Sheng Changquan to explain it again in person before she felt at ease.
"Yes, Grandma!"
Sheng Changquan bowed respectfully and said, "My grandson finally lived up to his grandmother's expectations and was lucky enough to get the position of head of the childbirth examination."
"The head of the case?"
Minglan was shocked!
"But the head of the case?"
The old lady also raised her eyebrows, looking extremely expectant.
After all, although the county examination and the prefecture examination are both child examinations, the status of the head of the case is different, especially the head of the prefecture. If someone can obtain this status, it means that this person can be regarded as a scholar, and directly Prepare for the next provincial examination.
Because there are regulations in the imperial court, anyone who wins the position of chief clerk in the government examination can avoid passing the court examination and directly obtain the status of scholar.
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan smiled "silly" and said with some "embarrassment": "Grandma, my grandson is actually the head of the two trials."
"Two tries?"
Minglan couldn't bear it any longer: "Doesn't that mean, brother, you won two consecutive prizes and won the title of county case chief and government case chief!"
"good!"
The old lady put down the rosary in her hand in surprise, and her face could no longer maintain its usual composure. She looked at her little grandson with a strange look in her eyes.
"Quan'er, you did very well in the exam this time!"
"When your father comes back, ask him to take you to the ancestral hall, offer incense to your grandfather, and tell him this!"
