Chapter 263

After the exam is over, the results will be available in three days.

During the break between grades, Chang Xi was very relaxed during the Imperial College holiday, and she even got a big basket of watermelons.

When Cao Wu delivered the watermelon home, Chang Xi was eating cakes loosely.

Seeing the big baby, she couldn't sit still, so she cut a portion for everyone to taste, and told her to spit out the watermelon seeds and keep them for her.

After getting a bag full of watermelon seeds, she happily asked her parents for money.

"Can we use our last savings to buy land in the suburbs?"

"Buy a few acres of black land first, and let's try to grow watermelons."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Jingxiu, who came late, poured cold water on her at the door: "You can make money by growing watermelons, do you really think that only you can think of it?"

"Some people have tried it. The melons grown in the north are not red, taste not sweet, and cannot be sold at a price. They are not as valuable as growing large wax gourds."

"Take a rest, your body is just right, don't mess around."

Chang Xi looked back and saw that he walked in in a dignified manner, and always felt that his temperament had changed a lot. Thinking that he often entered the palace, he might have learned court etiquette, and his whole aura had undergone a huge change.

Fortunately, they are old friends, otherwise, seeing Cao Jingxiu now, it would be hard not to be afraid, and dare not refute what he said?

She straightened her mind: "Others can't do it, but I'm different."

"I want to give it a try. People must have ideals! What if it comes true?"

Chang Le snorted: "It sounds familiar, where have I heard it before!"

Chang Xi stared at his younger brother with the eyes of a silly roe deer, Chang Le stirred his brain and reacted immediately.

"Oh! It was the third sister who told me!"

"Although I can't sleep on ice cubes yet, my third sister made water cooler than well water in hot weather. I believe that one day, my wish will come true."

"I support Third Sister in planting watermelons, how about you?!"

The others thought about it, and they all raised their hands weakly. In the end, only Cao Jingxiu did not raise his hand, and even Cao Wu silently voted for it. The overwhelming advantage made Chang Xi smile triumphantly.

Cao Jingxiu had nothing to do with him: "Okay, I will support you too."

Chang Xi knew that he joined because he couldn't beat him, but it didn't matter, she could take the time to prove that she wasn't boasting.

It cost 60 taels in total to buy three acres of black land, and Cao Jingxiu asked the old man from the palace to help the tenants.

Chang Xi was responsible for telling them how to maintain them, building a greenhouse, lighting a fire in the tent to increase the temperature, and simulating the temperature and heat preservation technology in the south to make the watermelons mistakenly think that they grow in the south.

Three days passed in a flash. On the day when the rankings were released, the Imperial College was crowded with people.

Originally, everyone had no idea of ​​whether the results were good or bad, but this time everyone paid special attention and came early to wait. As soon as the list was released, they rushed forward.

"Look! The Chang brothers and sisters are all ranked in the top 100!"

In the crowd, someone began to exclaim, attracting everyone's discussion.

When Chang Xi and the others came, they could hear everyone chattering about their rankings.

"Chang Xi's 27th rank is the highest, followed by Chang Le and Chang An, both of which are in the top 50. It seems that the second son of the Chang family is the most backward, and the last 100."

The four brothers and sisters rushed to the list after hearing the words.

Chang Xi went to see his second brother's grades. The elder brother, who was devoted to martial arts, was dragged by everyone to study liberal arts. Piano lessons were already difficult for others. His ranking was beyond expectations.

Chang Xi embraced the second brother excitedly: "It's great! Brother, you will definitely be able to learn both civil and military skills in the future, so you must keep learning!"

Chang Xi's words encouraged Chang An a lot. He was also very satisfied with his grades, so he kept nodding and said, "Okay! I'll listen to Xi Bao."

I still remember that when Min Wanhua first came here, he questioned their siblings brazenly.

Today, I finally rely on my grades to be proud and prove myself. The four siblings embraced each other excitedly, and the atmosphere of joy also infected the people around them.

Whether it is true or false, everyone sent their own good words.

The central figure in this matter is Mr. Min.

After reading the grades, this guy silently went out to find the boy, not knowing what he was going to do. Chang Xilaichi met him face to face and didn't speak. He thought this guy was ashamed and wanted to go home and cry in hiding. And return.

The boy followed behind, moving the heavy baskets, and the passers-by attracted everyone to exclaim: "Watermelon! It's watermelon!"

Hearing the watermelon, everyone's eyes lit up, and everyone knew it was a good thing.

A basket of watermelons was finally placed in front of Chang Xi: "Mr. Min, what do you mean?" The Chang brothers looked at him warily.

Min Wanhua laughed, knowing that she was misunderstood and not annoyed.

"My ranking is in the middle range this time, and I lost!"

"When I made the bet, I didn't think I would lose. Now this basket of watermelons is my gift of apology, and it's also a lottery for me to lose."

"It's all for you!"

What Min Wanhua said made the people around him gasp.

"Admit defeat? You actually admitted defeat?!"

"I thought you guys would try a few more games!"

Everyone whispered to each other, but Chang Xi clearly felt that the fierceness in Min Wanhua's body had decreased, or that there had been less prejudice against him.

She showed a shallow smile: "I accept the gift of apology."

"Mr. Min, you are actually quite pleasing to the eye now. In the future, don't reject strangers and affairs at every turn. Sometimes strangers don't mean bad."

Min Wanhua showed a shy expression and did not refute Chang Xi.

His attitude was so different that he looked at the people around him in a daze, even Chang Xi didn't remember it, he didn't know how he changed his temperament so much.

Her left hand was suddenly pulled away, she struggled subconsciously, and suddenly turned her head to meet Cao Jingxiu's silent face, with a pair of angry eyes, as if she wanted to ignite the person who was looking at him.

Why is this person so fierce all of a sudden?
She was dragged away in public in a daze, and there were all kinds of grotesque noises, bragging, and cheers from behind.

She felt that it was inappropriate to hold hands in public, and whenever she tried to break free, Cao Jingxiu would ruthlessly hold her back.

"Hey, calm down, we are in the Imperial College!"

"I can't calm down, that boy Min Wanhua is interested in you."

"Follow me quickly, don't look back!"

Chang Xi's pupils trembled, and his brain exploded.

What did she hear?What Cao Jingxiu meant was that Mr. Min likes her?
The person who is obviously on the verge of daggers and wants to drive her away will fall in love with her nervously?What is Min Wanhua's picture?

They left the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and the surrounding air became quiet.

There were only two people standing under the fluttering weeping willows. Cao Jingxiu's palms were sweating, but he still didn't let go. Chang Xi squirmed uncomfortablely.

"Hot!" She yelled uncontrollably, and finally let go of her hand this time.

Cao Jingxiu asked clearly: "Chang Xi, I am pleased with you, and I am only pleased with you in this life."

"Can you keep your eyes on me and not on anyone else?"
