Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 324 Killing You, Heartless
"Ha, I won No. 2, No. 2." Fang Shaohua saw that his name was under Du Jinning, he was taken aback, and suddenly went crazy with joy.

Liang Xiankuan couldn't find his name on the red list, so he hurriedly looked for it on the white list next to him, and saw that his name was high on the first place.

In other words, he took the No.4 exam.

He also knew that his article was not as good as Fang Shaohua's, and he wondered why he was named No.2 in the first round.Now that he has won No.4, he feels at ease.

Wu Yumou also found his name on the No.6 position.

The three of them didn't have the slightest idea about the head of the case. It doesn't matter if the ranking is higher or lower, and all four of them are in the top six, everyone is very happy.

"Let's go, go drink, I'll treat you." Fang Shaohua waved.

Liang Xiankuan had been under pressure in the first two rounds, but unexpectedly he climbed back in the last round and achieved a good result of No.2.This is a great joy for him, so it is natural to celebrate it.

"Brother Fang, this may not work. We have to go to the county hall." Du Jinning said.

Only then did Fang Shaohua remember that Du Jinning and Liang Xiankuan came with Huang Chengming and others. Now that the government has tried it, and Du Jinning has taken the case, he has to report to Huang Chengming anyway.

"That's fine, we will meet again when we have a chance in the future." Fang Shaohua is not an ignorant person, so he said quickly.

The four said goodbye, and Du Jinning and Liang Xiankuan went to Huang Chengming's place.

……

In the government office, Li Tong watched the crowds outside looking at the list gradually thinning out, then turned around to persuade Zhou Dongping and said: "My lord, go back, you haven't closed your eyes properly for a few days."

When invigilating the examination in the examination room, Zhou Dongping didn't dare to sleep; after the examination, he continued to mark the papers, and slept in the yamen at night when he was extremely sleepy, and hadn't returned home for several days.

Zhou Dongping rubbed the center of his eyebrows wearily, and sat there without moving.

As a teacher, Li Yitong naturally knew that Mrs. Zhou's Mrs. Wang was making noise that day, which delayed Zhou Dongping's time and caused him to be late for the invigilator.

He persuaded: "No matter what, you have to go home. If there is any misunderstanding, you have to go back and explain to your wife, right? Not going home is not the answer."

Zhou Dongping put down his hands and let out a long sigh.

He stood up and nodded: "Then I'll go back."

"Dong Weng, go slowly." Seeing Zhou Dongping's figure disappearing at the door, Li Yitong shook his head, picked up his things and went home.

Zhou Dongping did not live in the government office.Wang felt that the backyard of the government office was too dilapidated, so he bought a house outside with his own money.

This house is not far from the government office, not far from a cup of tea.In order to maintain his official prestige, Zhou Dongping did not choose to walk back and forth, but took a sedan chair.

But today, Zhou Dongping had never noticed that the government office was so close to his home, it seemed that he had to get out of the sedan chair just after he got into the sedan chair.

Looking at the bearer who took the initiative to lift the sedan chair so that he could get off, he couldn't help scolding: "Why are you running so fast? I don't see you running so fast when you are in a hurry."

The bearer was scolded inexplicably.

They didn't go fast, the same speed as usual, okay?

But they also knew that the master had been tired recently and his temper might not be very good, so they all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

After scolding the bearer a few words, Zhou Dongping felt better.He lifted his front and lowered his head to get out of the sedan chair, raised his head and stood there, looked at the door of his house for a few times, and then walked slowly into the gate.

"master."

"master."

……

When the servants who were working on the road saw Zhou Dongping, they all stopped and saluted respectfully.

Seeing a maid working in the inner courtyard, Zhou Dongping paused, wanting to ask his wife how she was feeling, but he opened his mouth, but still didn't ask.

Although the Wang family was not particularly prominent, they were still much richer than an official from a poor family like Zhou Dongping.The Wang family also has a house in central Beijing, several shops, and hundreds of acres of land outside the city, which can be considered a generous dowry.She is quite good at managing money, and whenever she goes to a place, she will ask her housemates to do some business, so even if Zhou Dongping's salary is not high, their life is still good.

Because of this, even though the Zhou family only had her and Zhou Dongping as masters, the Wang family bought a courtyard with four entrances in order to show their status.Anyway, when Zhou Dongping leaves office, she will not lose much money if she sells the house.

Zhou Dongping walked through the front hall, entered the courtyard two more times, and finally arrived at the inner courtyard where he and Mrs. Wang lived.

A servant girl I met on the road took a shortcut and went to report to Mrs. Wang in advance.When Zhou Dongping entered the inner courtyard, he saw his wife Wang standing on the steps, looking at him coldly, followed by several strong servants with fire sticks in their hands.

"Ma'am..." Seeing her posture, Zhou Dongping felt a headache.I had to face the questions I had avoided for a few days by the invigilator.

"What are you doing back here? Why don't you go to your Miss Gu? Zhou Dongping, Zhou Dongping, I have been married to you for more than ten years, and I followed you out of the capital, running around here and there to feed you and wear you. You didn't live with me sincerely at all, and you only thought about others. I was really blind at the time. "

As Wang was talking, she was so angry that she picked up a stick from the hand of the servant woman behind her, and swept it towards Zhou Dongping.

"I said what are you crazy about? Are you finished? Did I tell you all? Where did you hear the gossip? Do you know the consequences of your troubles? I was late that day and was scolded by Mr. Zhao. I don’t know if I will be impeached by him, but you are still making trouble here!” Zhou Dongping also became more and more angry, and grabbed one end of the stick.

"Gossip?" Wang sneered, "Did you embarrass a county chief in this exam?"

Zhou Dongping froze for a moment, and asked nervously, "How do you know?"

Except for Li Tong and the person involved, Du Jinning, who may know about this matter, no one knows about it.

They have been husband and wife for many years, and seeing Zhou Dongping's expression, Wang knew that she had hit the spot.

She sneered: "Don't worry about where I found out, just tell me if you have it."

"No." Zhou Dongping naturally knew that such a thing could not be admitted, especially in front of so many servants.He lowered his voice and said, "Ma'am, can we go in and sit down and talk? Look, in front of so many people..."

If it's anything else, Mrs. Wang can tolerate it.But she couldn't stand this matter.Otherwise, she wouldn't have made a fuss that day knowing that her husband was going to preside over the scientific examination.

She would rather Zhou Dongping not be an official than to tolerate the fact that she has always been treated as a backup by her husband.She is a rich and powerful young lady, marrying Zhou Dongping, a poor man with nothing, is enough to think highly of him.Apart from not having a son, how can I feel sorry for him and not worthy of him?Why has he been thinking about others for more than ten or twenty years?

This is absolutely unbearable!
