"I am Cen Youniang, a candidate for the children's examination who has been registered in the Ministry of Rites, has been registered in the official school, and has been registered by the Anxian County Government and the Shuntian Government Office!"
Facing the gazes gathered from all directions, Cen Youniang smiled, and under the gaze of those who were sure to win, she shouted loudly.
"I am Cen Youniang, the top candidate in the Anxian County Examination! I am Cen Youniang, the fifth candidate in the Shuntian Prefecture Examination! I am Cen Youniang, the reference candidate for this college examination!"
She mentioned many identities, but she never mentioned that she was the daughter of the Cen family or the daughter-in-law of the Guan family.
Her statement was so sonorous and powerful that the spectators suddenly heard it and thought, "Cen and Guan must have recognized the wrong person."
Sheng Yuan did not expect that this classmate Cen performed so well, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hey, did you hear everything clearly? If you heard clearly, get out of the way! Don't affect our exam!"
With that said, he motioned to the guards to clear the way.
Unexpectedly, the door to the examination room has slowly opened!
In just a few moments, the formal gong will sound!
Seeing Sheng Yuan and Cen Youniang walking side by side towards the examination room, Guan Shiwu suddenly woke up from the shock, shook his head vigorously, and shouted at the guards of Cen and Guan to stop them.
"Cen Youniang! You are my Guan family's wife! How dare you deny it?!"
Cen Youniang turned a deaf ear to his jump and followed Sheng Yuan forward firmly.
The entrance door to the examination room is just around the corner, just like her future.
In the gray sky, bright colors were looming; the breeze carried the mist, and the coolness made her feel more awake than usual!
She wants to take control of her future!
She wants to fight for her own fame!
She no longer wants to urge incompetent people to study hard all day long, and she doesn’t want to complain even when she is exhausted!
She will fight for her own future! She will take her own power!
The daughter of the Cen family and the daughter-in-law of the Guan family are just her past!
And in the future, she will always be herself!
Thinking like this, Cen Youniang's footsteps became more and more relaxed, and her whole body was like a straight green pine, aloof and talented.
"Third brother, daughter-in-law, think clearly! Even if you get fame, will you never go back to the Guan family? The Cen family may not want you anymore! So what if you passed the child examination? Qiong Jing There are as many scholars as there are crucian carp crossing the river. How many of them can be promoted to official positions?
Even if you are lucky enough to be a candidate, there are still examinations and imperial examinations waiting for you! How many candidates waste half their lives before the examination? More people may never become Gongshi in their lifetime, let alone Jinshi!
Even if you pass the Jinshi exam in one go, you will still be at the lowest level when you are assigned to an official position. Even if your hair is gray, you may not be able to return to the capital as an official! How can I have the leisure time of being a young lady in my Guan family? ! With such good knowledge, wouldn't it be good for you to look after your husband and raise your children, and wait for the imperial edict? Why bother yourself? ! "
Master Guan Shiwu chased after him and persuaded him loudly. He did not want to rob people in Kyoto unless he had to.
It's a pity that Cen Youniang is so heartbroken at the moment that she can't be persuaded by a single word.
Especially when she heard the last part, she sneered and whispered: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!"
"Mrs. Third Young Master, have you ever seen the Young Master?" The cold and pitiful voice of the Guan Mansion housekeeper sounded behind Mr. Guan Fifteenth.
As he finished speaking, a childish voice calling his mother gradually approached.
During this time, the maid Lamei yelled angrily: "Let me go! Let go of my young master!"
Cen Youniang's steps slowed down, and her eyes that had always been firm were filled with waves.
Without the child, she could still be ruthless, but when the child's shouts and cries reached her ears, her legs and feet felt like they were filled with molten iron in an instant, making it difficult for her to lift even with all her strength.
Noticing her hesitation, Sheng Yuan also stopped, waving to Xiaoyao to pay attention to the entrance situation of the examination room, and walked over.
"Hey! What a chubby little boy!"
Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up when she saw the child beside Guan Mansion's housekeeper!
Such a plump, white and tender little guy is rare to see in Kyoto!
"Bring him here quickly and show me!" Sheng Yuan licked her lips and patted the arm of a guard at her side.
The warm voices of everyone who wanted to see Cen Youniang's reaction were immediately attracted by Sheng Yuan's clear and joyful voice. However, seeing her excitement on tiptoes, they all fell silent unanimously: "..."
"What do you want to do! Stop him! Stop them, don't let the young man be taken away!" The housekeeper of the Guan Mansion also didn't expect that the girl who was so nice and soft-spoken before would actually start acting like a bully! Stealing other people’s children on the street! Are there any laws?
As soon as he shouted, the guards of the Guan family rushed over, trying to snatch the master's young man back.
When the spectators saw this, they suddenly became excited and started fighting! This is about to start a fight!
Many were so excited that they wanted to get closer.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Just as they were crowding forward and leaning forward, the sound of dozens of swords appearing in unison calmed them down.
At the same time, everyone in the Guan family became quiet.
"Master Guan Fifteen, Steward Guan, don't be impulsive!" Deputy Steward Cen broke out in a cold sweat and asked Zhang Da and others to stop the guards of the Guan Mansion while urging him in a low voice, "This little girl has always been arrogant, her guards are You really dare to hurt someone! If you really use the sword and get to the Shuntian Mansion Office, you may not be sure whose fault it is! Calm down! You must calm down!"
While he was trying to persuade her, the young man from the Guan family had already appeared in front of Sheng Yuan.
"Hold him better." Sheng Yuan directed the guard holding the child to get closer. He squeezed the child's arms and paws curiously, and found that the touch felt good. He raised his hand and tapped the child's face again.
"Wow, it's so soft, like squeezing cotton!" She blinked in surprise and grasped the paw that the young man was stretching towards Cen Youniang, "Come on, come on, look here! Look here !”
A string of small bells decorated with colored gemstones appeared on her hand, and the jingling sound attracted the young man who was chanting "Empress, Empress".
"Miss, the government officials are about to beat the gong!" Sheng Yuan was just about to tease the child when she heard Xiaoyao's reminder.
Putting the bell on the child's hand, she winked at Cen Youniang and said, "This little guy is so lucky that noble people are slow to speak!"
Cen Youniang smiled bitterly, not daring to let her eyes touch the child at all.
"Xiaoyao, take someone to send this funny child to the palace for the Queen Mother to see! By the way, let the emperor see it too. It's rare to see such a plump and beautiful child! It's so easy to see him once. Take a bath and bathe in the Emperor’s grace!”
Shengyuan ignored the protests of the Guan family on the side and naturally made arrangements for Xiaolang of the Guan family.
"Ah?!" Even Xiaoyao didn't expect his lady to be so generous!
"Whatever I tell you to do, just obey!" Sheng Yuan pushed her gently and urged, "Don't be stupid! Take my badge and leave quickly! When you see the Queen Mother, tell the origin of this child clearly That’s it!”
"Oh, oh!" Xiaoyao nodded helplessly.
"You can't take him with you..." Seeing this, Mr. Guan Shiwu was about to shout loudly, but Deputy Manager Cen stopped him.
