Warm Life - C244
The results of the Imperial Examinations had been announced, and the next step was to wait for the Emperor’s summons. According to the previous period’s experience, the announcement of the results would be made within three days after the summons from the Emperor. Sun Lingping could not go to other places during this time, lest he miss the summons. The Emperor didn’t let the Sun family wait for long. The next day, an old eunuch took Sun Lingping away with the imperial edict.
The Sun family didn’t go anywhere else. They had been waiting at home the entire time. Even the usually calm Sun Ye Xuan was a little nervous. One had to say, emotions were also contagious.
He had always thought that the eyes of the top scorers were some sort of legendary existence. Other than what was written in the script, it was all done on television. He had never thought that he would also become the younger sister of the top scout. It was a pity that she couldn’t become the sister of the top scholar. If his big brother became the top scholar, just thinking about it made him feel mighty. Unfortunately, whether it was ancient or modern, the twists and turns within it was truly not something she could understand.
In the afternoon, the sounds of drums and gongs could be heard from the streets of Beijing. When the Sun family members heard the news and left, they realized that the entire street was filled with people. Sun Ye Xuan brought the Sun family members to her shop and ran to the second floor to check on the situation. Looking from afar, there were heads everywhere. The streets were crowded with people, and people were trampling on them. It was a chaotic scene. It wasn’t long before the government sent people to maintain order. Finally, things calmed down.
“The Emperor has decreed that Chen Wen would look for flowers, and Su Zhe will be the first in line.” With the sound of the drum, someone shouted this sentence.
This meant that the three ranks had been decided. This year’s top three were these three. Immediately, everyone was discussing who these three people were. Those who knew each other, those who didn’t know each other, looked at the three imposing men.
This year’s top three ranks are really high in looks. Whether it was the flower scout, top scorer, or top scholar, they were all handsome princes. However, after much deliberation, they did not expect that the top scholar would be Sun Lingping, and not Su Zhe, who was enjoying the limelight. Su Zhe was a famous prodigy in the capital. Now that the prodigy had failed, they were greatly disappointed and curious about the top scholar.
“Xuanxuan, pinch my mom.” Sun Meng said to Sun Yanxuan.
“Mom, I don’t need to pinch you. It really is big brother. Even if you are able to hear wrongly, there are so many of us, so we shouldn’t be able to hear wrongly, right? ” Sun Ye Shi happily said, “Big Brother is the top scholar.”
“Your big brother has been very obedient since he was young. He just didn’t expect that he would really be the top scholar. Our family has gone through so many trials and tribulations. There will only be good days left from now on. ”
“This is all thanks to the mother of the child. If you didn’t have such an outstanding mother, how could you have such an outstanding son? ” Sun Yuanjie said with a smile, “That’s why you’re the greatest.”
“Bitch!” The child is here, so I’m not ashamed. ” Sun Meng said angrily.
Sun Ye Xuan looked around and said: “Shishi, what did you hear? Why didn’t I hear anything? ”
Sun Yeshi shook his head and said, “It’s so noisy outside, what can you hear? Big sister, big brother is here. Look at him sitting on a white horse with a big flower on his chest.
“Sigh!” We must be careful. Don’t go out any more lately. If you want to go out, you have to disguise yourself. Otherwise, my life would have left and I would not have been able to return. ” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“Why is that? Could it be that someone dares to harm my daughter? ” Sun Yuanjie frowned and said in a displeased tone.
“Father, think about it.” His big brother was the top scholar now, and he was so handsome, and he hadn’t even gotten married yet. Not to mention that ordinary families had women, even those officials who wanted to marry women had to come knocking and ask for marriage. As your big brother’s family, we will definitely be fawned over by others. Just thinking about that scene is too scary. In any case, I won’t go out until the aftermath has subsided. ”
“That’s right. Why didn’t I think of it? ” Sun Meng said in surprise, “Quickly go back!” We haven’t recognized us yet, but we’ll be in danger soon. ”
“It’s time to go back. The top three ranks will have to circle around the entire city a few times! ” Sun Ye Xuan said: “I’m so jealous! If I were a man, I’d take the science exam. Even if he couldn’t become the top scholar, it was good to feel the atmosphere of the Imperial examinations! Unfortunately, there’s no hope in this life. ”
“You child!” Sun Meng grudgingly said, “Such a serious matter, how come you changed it so much just by talking about it?”
The Sun family returned to the Sun family’s residence. Butler had long received the news and came over to speak Gilligan words. The other servants surrounded him as well. Now, the Sun family had bought quite a number of servants.
It was rare for Sun Meng to be so happy. He had been on tenterhooks all day, and now, he pushed aside the clouds to see the bright moon. As soon as she was happy, she said, “All of them will be rewarded.”
Sun Ye Xuan thought about how she didn’t have much silver left, and sighed helplessly in her heart. If he knew that he wouldn’t rush to open a store, he would have saved up more silver for his elder brother to use.
But it doesn’t matter. Now that the situation had stabilized, it was time for their Sun family’s diary to start earning money. As soon as they started making money, the silver would flow into their arms like water.
Two hours later, the butler came to inform him that Sun Lingping had come back on a white horse. Behind him followed the man who announced the good news. After another round of bounty, they finally dismissed everyone who was watching the show.
“Big brother, congratulations!” I knew you’d be the top scholar. ” Sun Yeshi happily said, “Did you see the Emperor today? What kind of person is he? ”
Sun Lingliang smiled and patted Sun Ye Shi’s head, and said: “He is a very smart person, very dignified, and not bad person.”
“I didn’t say it.” Dad, Mom, look at how your big brother doesn’t care about me anymore after he becomes the top scholar. ” Sun Yeshi said unhappily.
“He dares! What happened to the top scholar? The top scholar is also my son, your brother. In a while, dad will take care of him, so don’t be angry. ” Sun Yuanjie stared at Sun Lingzi and said.
“You guys love to play too much. Big brother was tired! We’ll talk about it later. ” Sun Ye Xuan laughed: “To celebrate, I’ll make some good food tonight.”
“Today, I have basked in this kid’s glory.” How long has it been since Xuanxuan cooked anything for us to eat? Recently, I’ve been busy with her matters, but I don’t know what she’s busy with. ” Sun Meng covered his mouth and laughed.
“Then, thank you, Big Sister! We’ll talk about the details of the day while we eat. At that time, big brother will tell you everything that Shi Shi wants to ask. ” Sun Lingqin smiled.
“Great!” I knew Big Brother was the best. ” Sun Ye Shi said with a smile. Is big brother tired now? Was he tired of someone’s flattery? Big Sis is right. Quickly go and rest! ”
The Sun family burst into laughter. When the neighboring families heard the Sun family’s laughter, they were both envious and jealous. However, they also made up their minds to build a good relationship with the Sun family.
Sun Ye Xuan cooked a table full of dishes, ten meat dishes and eight vegetarian dishes. These dishes were spread throughout the eight main cuisines, and could be considered as satisfying the other members of the Sun family. The servants of the Sun family also had preferential treatment, and the leftovers were all given to them, allowing them to have a taste of their master’s superb cooking skills.
Fine! It wasn’t superb craftsmanship! It was the taste of space!
“The Emperor first tested our knowledge, making us do poetry on the spot, even chess and painting. After that, he gave us lunch. We dined in the pavilion in the palace garden and chatted with him. When we study, we are very awe-inspiring, and when we eat, we smile, and we look very easy to get along with. However, we’re still the Emperor, so we don’t dare to act presumptuously. “
