EBE Chapter 252 Double Happiness
Chapter 252 Double Happiness
In August, the golden osmanthus is fragrant, and students go to various cities to participate in the autumn examination held every three years under the expectations of their families.
It is almost October, the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and people on the road are wearing padded jackets.
Today is the day when the results of the provincial examination will be announced. The results will be announced in the prefectural city and the counties at the same time. Students in the counties do not need to go to the prefectural city to see the results.
"Sister, there won't be any seats left soon, let's go." Xiaohuan ran all the way from the front yard to the back yard and met a man and a woman coming out side by side in the garden.
"Dr. Duanmu, when did you come?" Xiaohuan took Shang Wan's arm and greeted Duanmu Kui with a smile.
Duanmu Kui: "Just arrived."
"That's great. Let's go to the county government office to see the results."
Xiao Huan turned to Shang Wan and said, "Brother-in-law has taken Yuan Yuan to reserve a seat first, let's go quickly."
The entrance to the county government office was crowded with students and their families waiting to see the list, and of course, people just joining in the fun.
Lu Chengjing and Shitou stood at the outer edge where there were fewer people. Shitou stared at the gate of the county government office, his clenched palms full of sweat. He was even more nervous than when he took the examination for the status of a student.
On the contrary, Lu Chengjing, the person involved, stood nearby as if nothing had happened, turning his head to look towards the street corner from time to time.
Yuanyuan was held by Lu Chengjing. She was a head taller than the others and saw her own carriage at a glance. She quickly patted her father's shoulder and said, "Dad, then."
Just as Lu Chengjing was about to carry his daughter over, the legal advisor and two yamen runners came out of the door to post the notice.
The crowd immediately became noisy and pushed forward, wanting to be the first to see the result.
Shi Tou was squeezed hard, but as he was getting closer to the red list, he chose to give up resisting.
The crowd was jostling each other excitedly, and Lu Chengjing had no way to look for Shang Wan. He walked out of the crowd while protecting the baby in his arms.
The stones on both sides have already gone in, so this one doesn't matter.
"Ouch!"
Just as Lu Chengjing stood still, a young man was pushed out by the crowd. He lost his balance and fell on his butt.
"Ah Le, where is your young master?"
Ah Le was rubbing his buttocks. He looked up when he heard the voice and said, "Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
As soon as he asked the question, he realized that he had asked a nonsense question. He came to check the list for his young master, and Mr. Lu naturally came to check the list as well.
"My young master is waiting in the carriage because he feels crowded." Ah Le stood up and said cheerfully, "The master and the mistress are here too."
Ever since the second room separated and lived on its own, the master and mistress no longer quarrelled, and they were even more loving than before. The young lady might as well have married someone else, so his young master's life was so comfortable now.
Ah Le turned around and looked around, wondering, "Why are you alone?"
Without waiting for Lu Chengjing to speak, he continued, "Is it because the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion is too busy and Shopkeeper Shang can't spare the time? If you are holding the child, don't squeeze in. Find a place to rest. I will help you take care of it."
After saying that, he aimed at a gap revealed by the crowd and drilled in accurately like a bolt.
His small body was like a loach and was swallowed up by the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Lu Chengjing, who didn't even have time to say a word: "..."
"Daddy." Yuanyuan grabbed Lu Chengjing's collar and shook him, and hurried to find her mother.
In the distance, the carriage stopped, and Xiaohuan stood on the carriage and waved to Lu Chengjing, "Brother-in-law! Here!"
Lu Chengjing walked over quickly, and Yuanyuan threw herself directly into her mother's arms.
Without Shang Wan asking, Lu Chengjing took the initiative to say, "Shitou squeezed in to see the list, and I withdrew because I was worried about squeezing Yuanyuan."
"Then just wait." Shang Wanchao looked at the red list in the distance.
It was too far away, and even Shang Wan, with his abnormal eyesight, couldn't see clearly what was written on the paper.
"Win! My young master won!"
"It's me, it's me! Hahaha, I won!"
"Woo woo woo, I'm not on the list again. I'm going to jump into the river!"
"Let me see who's number one."
"Aunt, have you found Dashun's name?"
Shi Tou, who was squeezed over and finally stood firm, completely blocked out the noise around his ears and stared at the list with wide eyes.
Shitou has confidence in his brother-in-law and starts from the first place.
"Lu, Cheng, Jing."
Shitou opened and closed his eyes, stared at the three small words four or five times. After making sure that he was not mistaken, his mouth opened wider and wider, and suddenly he shouted with full energy, "My brother-in-law is the top scholar! Top scholar!!"
This shout made everyone cover their ears.
OK, OK, OK, I know your brother-in-law is a top scholar, isn’t that just a top scholar? There’s no need to get so excited…
Wait, Xie Yuan? ?
This kid's brother-in-law is the top scholar!!
Who is this kid?
Several eyes fell on Shi Tou at the same time. Shi Tou grinned so hard that his teeth were showing, like a fool.
At this moment, Ah Le finally squeezed to the front of the red list and saw his young master's name in the middle of the list. He shouted happily, "My young master passed!"
"Make way, everyone, make way! I'm going to tell the young master the good news!"
"Sister, Xiaohuan!" Shitou ran through the crowd and quickly came to his carriage, his cheeks flushed with excitement, "Brother-in-law won the first place!"
"Really?" Xiaohuan looked surprised.
"How could it be fake?" Shitou pointed at his eyes. "I looked at it ten times. It must be my brother-in-law."
"Congratulations." Duanmu Kui congratulated Lu Chengjing with a smile.
"Daddy, that's great!" Yuanyuan threw herself into her father's arms, held his face and kissed him twice.
Lu Chengjing looked at Shang Wan, and Shang Wan leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, Lu Chengjing's smiling eyes suddenly became dull and stopped moving.
"Why is my brother-in-law so stupid?" Xiao Huan raised her hand and waved it in front of Lu Chengjing's eyes. "He can't even blink. Sister, what did you say to my brother-in-law?"
Shang Wan's almond-shaped eyes curved, and just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly embraced by Lu Chengjing.
Yuanyuan, who was squeezed in between her parents, said: "???"
The cub is going to turn into a meat pie!!
Lu Chengjing lowered his head into Shang Wan's hair and took two deep breaths before slowly letting her go.
Shang Wan squinted at him and asked, "Can you tell me now?"
say what?
Xiaohuan and Shitou both looked at Shang Wan, their heads full of question marks.
"I'm pregnant." Shang Wan smiled, "More than a month."
Two people: "!!!"
After two seconds of silence, they both jumped up at the same time, happy and excited, just like monkeys.
Lu Chengjing instantly felt that his performance just now was particularly good. At least he didn’t turn into a monkey, right?
"What happened to you?" Qiao Yu'an came over to congratulate Lu Chengjing, and was startled by the way Xiaohuan and Shitou danced with joy.
Winning the first place in the imperial examination does not mean you're winning the top spot, so there's no need to be so happy, right?
Why did he think these two people were crazy?
Xiaohuan kept muttering about preparing nutritious meals for her sister and completely ignored him.
Shitou began to wonder whether he would have more nieces or nephews, and had no time to pay attention to him.
Qiao Yu’an: “…”
Is he so unpopular with these two people?
Lu Chengjing didn't want to publicize it, but he couldn't help but share his joy with his friends.
When Qiao Yu'an heard that Shang Wan was pregnant, she was stunned for a second. He hasn't even gotten married yet, but Cheng Jing already has two children?
Do you want to be so far ahead of him?
He looked at his friend who was rarely frowning and had a happy expression on his face. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind and he suddenly smiled.
It doesn't matter if you fall behind, but now double happiness has come, Chengjing can finally get his reward after all the hardship.
