Chapter 26 Breaking the Oath
Only Ruan Muyang's belt was left at the door.The soft and light belt that belongs only to women hangs down on the cold ground, giving it a sense of fragrance.

Ruan Muyang put his arms around Zhang Anyi's neck tightly, and looked at him with blurred eyes.In such a lingering atmosphere, she sized and examined him carefully.This man's mind is too deep, his vision and structure are far beyond everyone's imagination, even she herself feels that she can't reach his height.

It's too unpredictable.

"Haven't you seen enough?" Putting Ruan Muyang on the bed, Zhang Anyi leaned over her and looked down at her with teasing in his tone.

Ruan Muyang blushed, don't look away from him.

Immediately, Zhang Anyi chuckled, pinched her chin to make her turn around, and kissed her lips.

This time, there was no forbearance, no restraint.

There was no turning back for him.

And she is the same, there is no chance of turning back.

The place where the fingers passed by was hot, causing Ruan Muyang to arch his body and tremble slightly.After kissing her lips bloodshot and bright, Zhang Anyi went all the way down.Without the cover of his body, Ruan Muyang felt the coolness on her body. At some point, her upper body was completely lost.

Ruan Muyang let out a sigh when he stuck to his scorching hot skin that showed masculine strength without hindrance.

It's finally the first day of junior high school.

On New Year's Eve, when the old and the new are changing, all the family reunion and the joy of watching the new year are isolated, and there are only lingering and endless lingering in the room.

"No, I don't want it anymore." In the middle of the night, Ruan Muyang cried softly.

Zhang Anyi kissed her lips reassuringly, and coaxed in a low voice: "One last time."

When he didn't know how many times he was possessed, Ruan Muyang only felt that he had been misjudged in the past. He was deceived by his gentle and handsome appearance and his previous forbearance, and he actually thought that he was a gentleman.

"You lied to me again! Shameless!"

Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Diancui and Falang were waiting outside the door, both of them had strange looks in their eyes.

Both of them, husband and wife, don't like to sleep late, so why can't one of them afford it at this time today?

Dian Cui tried to call out.

In fact, Ruan Muyang has already woken up, but his whole body is weak, his throat hurts, and he doesn't want to open his eyes.Hearing Dian Cui's voice, she blushed, while Zhang Anyi was still sleeping soundly.

The brocade quilt slid off her shoulders with her movements, revealing fair skin and lingering traces. The next moment, she was pulled down heavily and fell onto the brocade quilt.

Zhang Anyi woke up.Realizing what he wanted to do again, Ruan Muyan struggled and blushed and said, "You—I'm still in pain." And it's already daytime, how could it be so absurd?
But Zhang Anyi's words made her unsteady.

He whispered in her ear: "The spring is coming, I have to be a monk for three months, is Madam willing?" There was a bit of helplessness in his tone, and there was a hint of pity when he listened carefully.

He had never heard his tone before, Ruan Muyang only felt that his low voice made her very soft, so he let his hands move on her body, but said: "But I really can't bear it."

Seeing her hesitation, a smile flashed in Zhang Anyi's eyes, he kissed her on the lips and said, "It's okay, as long as Madam moves her hands." Then, he took her hand and stretched it into the bed.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that she did such a thing, and it was beyond Ruan Muyang's tolerance, causing the blush on her face to last the whole morning, and she was even more embarrassed to see Zhang Anyi.

And every time Zhang Anyi met his gaze, he always had a teasing and spoiled smile.

On the second day of the new year, Zhang Anyi followed Ruan Muyang back to her natal home.

Ruan Zhongling had five daughters and two sons in total besides Zhao, the main wife, and two concubines, Chu and Huang.Except for Ruan Muyang's eldest sister who was married far away, that is, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, Ruan Muqiu, the second sister Ruan Mushuang and the third sister Ruan Muyun all came back with their husbands.

Because Ruan Zhongling is the servant of the Ministry of Industry, even if she is a concubine, she will marry well.Although Ruan Muqiu married far away, he married the second son of the magistrate of Huzhou.Ruan Mushuang married the third son of the Commander of the Army and Horses of the Five Cities.

Of course, as concubines, they are not as good as Ruan Zhongling's eldest daughter, Ruan Muyun, who marry far away.

After the whole family had dinner, Ruan Zhongling took the three sons-in-law to the study.The female relatives went to the garden to have tea together.

"Is the fourth sister's health all healed?" Ruan Muxi looked at Ruan Muyang.When he came back this time, Ruan Muyang's complexion was ruddy, and his demeanor was coquettish, obviously well nourished by the man.Ruan Muxi looked unwilling.

Since entering Zhang's house, Ruan Muyang noticed that Ruan Muxi's gaze was always on Zhang Anyi, and he was extremely impatient.She looked at her coldly.

Ruan Muxi didn't care either, and said with a charming smile on her face, "Don't you worry about the fourth brother-in-law? The second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law both have official positions, and what my father is talking about with them must be about court affairs. Fourth brother-in-law I'm afraid I won't be able to speak."

Her words were provocative.

Ruan Mushuang and Chu's mother and daughter all looked over.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Ma'am, there are no outsiders here, so I will speak directly. The Fourth Miss is the daughter of the Ruan family, and the husband and son-in-law she married now don't even have an official position. Outsiders are already laughing at Ruan." It’s time to go home. Although Old Shangshu Zhang once held a high position, he has retired after all.”

The treatment a woman receives when she returns to her natal family after marriage is closely related to her status and the strength of her husband's family. Ruan Muyang, as a concubine daughter, is not as good as a concubine. .

Ruan Muyang's marriage has always been a thorn in Zhao's heart.

"I don't need you, a concubine, to worry about it." Zhao's voice was cold.

"Auntie, let's take care of the fifth younger sister and second younger brother first." Because she married the eldest son of Song Xueshi and became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family, Ruan Muyun's aura is stronger than when she was the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. Yes, just like a young lady of a high family.

Mrs. Huang didn't care about Mrs. Zhao's attitude, and still smiled and said: "Madam, Miss San, I also miss Miss Fourth. Now that Mr. Zhang still has some connections, why not take a certain official position for Mrs. Fourth?"

Her words reached Mrs. Zhao's heart.Mrs. Zhao didn't reply for a while.

Ruan Muyang originally wanted to watch Huang's mother and daughter act like demons, but their words were full of contempt for Zhang Anyi, which made her angry.

"Don't worry about Auntie, he will participate in this year's Spring Festival." Ruan Muyang's calm voice sounded.

What followed was everyone's surprise.

Aunt Huang tried her best to hold back her smile and said, "Miss Si is telling the truth? Young Master Si three years ago—"

Speaking of this, she hesitated to speak: "It's better to be down-to-earth. If you fail the ranking again, the Ruan family will inevitably be laughed at."

Ruan Muyang didn't even change his expression regarding Zhao's questioning and surprise.It's not that she doesn't know the heights of the world, but she believes that Zhang Anyi will definitely go to high school.

Suddenly, she smiled, and said with the same calm voice as in the past: "Aunt Huang, would you like to make a bet with me? Bet on the fifth sister's marriage." This time it was her who provoked.

Ruan Muyang's calm demeanor made people feel that she had foreseen the future and was extremely confident.This kind of self-confidence made Huang's heart lose his confidence for no reason.

Ruan Muxi, whose name was mentioned, no longer had a smile on his face, and looked at Ruan Muyang angrily.

As a concubine, she will always be inferior to a concubine, and she can't call her biological mother a mother, and the concubine has to decide the marriage.Now Ruan Muxi cares most about her marriage.

Seeing that Huang's mother and daughter were silent, Ruan Muyang raised his lips and said calmly, "Auntie doesn't dare? Then I can let you in. We don't bet that he will be on the list, but that he is Can test the first name. If he is able to test the first name, the marriage of the fifth sister will be decided by me."

As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Zhao again and said, "Mother, if Auntie agrees, how about letting me be the master of Fifth Younger Sister's marriage?"

Both Mrs. Zhao and Ruan Muyun didn't know why she suddenly said such big words, and they didn't know what to do.Mrs. Zhao was silent and did not immediately agree.

Not only on the list, but also at the top?Looking around the world, how many people dare to say such a thing?
Of course Huang didn't believe it in her heart, but she still hesitated to bet on her daughter's marriage.

At this time, Ruan Muxi's voice sounded: "Fourth sister, what if you lose?"

Ruan Muyang looked at her calmly and said, "It's up to you."

Ruan Muxi finally showed a smile on his face: "Then if the fourth sister loses, please don't hinder me and the fourth brother-in-law."

As soon as her shocking words came out, the faces of the people present were shocked.

Ruan Muyun immediately said sharply: "Presumptuous! Ruan Muxi, are you still shameless?"

The mother and daughter of the Chu family who always watched quietly and never interrupted began to persuade.

Ruan Muxi just looked at Ruan Muyang.

Only Ruan Muyang knew what she was thinking about Zhang Anyi, and he was not surprised: "The Zhang family's family style is strict and no concubines are allowed. If you have the ability, let him divorce me and marry you in. I will never resist."

"Muyang! Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhao couldn't listen anymore.

Ruan Muxi was afraid that Ruan Muyang would go back on his word, so he immediately said: "Okay! Fourth sister, please don't go back on your word."

"no way."

Ruan Muyun said anxiously: "Fourth sister!"

She and Zhao Shi wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Ruan Muyang looked at Huang again and said, "Auntie, do you want to make another big bet? If Auntie is willing to get married to my second brother, I can bet that Zhang Anyi will be a Jinshi."

How can I become a Jinshi?
It must be the top three hand-picked by the sage in the palace examination!How difficult!
Is Ruan Muyang crazy?
Because of the bet just now, Ruan Muxi wanted to agree without thinking, but was interrupted abruptly by Huang.Although it seemed that they had a certain chance of winning the game, Ruan Muyang's calm demeanor always made her feel uneasy.How dare she bet on her only son's future?

"It's fine if you don't gamble, it's still the same as before, bet on the marriage of the fourth sister." Ruan Muyang just wanted to provoke, and didn't want to really influence the marriage of the second brother Ruan Mingyuan.

The man in the family, even the marriage of the concubine, was highly valued by Ruan Zhongling, unless she was in a high position in the future, she would have no such right no matter what.

"it is good."

Ruan Muyang and Ruan Muxi looked at each other.The eyes of the former were calm, while the eyes of the latter were filled with pride.

The only thing in common is that both of them think that the other party will lose.

After they broke up, Ruan Muyang and Ruan Muyun went to Chen's yard together.

"Seeing that you are more stable than me on weekdays, why are you suddenly so impulsive and making such a bet with Ruan Muxi?" Ruan Muyun was so annoyed that she wanted to point her fingers at Ruan Muyang's forehead.

It's true that the usually prudent people are much more popular than the usual muddled people.

Mrs. Zhao also sighed heavily, and said with perplexity: "Muyang, why are you so serious with her? Her marriage is decided by her mother, what do you have to do with yourself? You usually brag to your sister You are prudent, I never thought that after getting married, the more you live, the more you will go back."

But no matter what they said, Ruan Muyang always had a calm look on his face, not complacent, not arrogant, nor annoyed.

In the end, Mrs. Zhao and Ruan Muyun heaved a long sigh and gave up trying to persuade her.

Ruan Muyang comforted them in turn and said: "Mother, sister, I know this matter well, don't worry."

However, how could Mrs. Zhao and Ruan Muyun dare to rest assured that they won the first place in the exam?

Ruan Muyang was not acting on his own will.First, she was dissatisfied with everyone's underestimation of Zhang Anyi. How could such a broad-minded person with a pattern far beyond everyone's imagination be underestimated?Secondly, Ruan Muxi really crossed the line.

Fortunately they took the bait.

Coming out of Ruan's house and getting into the carriage, Zhang Anyi saw that Ruan Muyang was more silent than usual, and asked inquisitively, "What happened to Madam?"

Ruan Muyang came back to his senses and smiled and said, "No, I'm just a little tired."

After all, she spent some time calculating, including including Zhang Anyi, even if it wasn't a big deal, she still didn't want him to know.

There was a smile in Zhang Anyi's gentle eyes, he looked at Ruan Muyang, and said teasingly: "Madam is indeed tired, it's all my husband's fault."

Ruan Muyang raised his eyebrows.

Who asked him so many times on New Year's Eve?
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is over, and the spring in February is getting closer and closer. In order to concentrate on studying, Zhang Anyi simply moved to the study.

Although he spoke lightly about breaking the oath, Ruan Muyang always remembered that it was a poisonous oath, he cared about it, and he didn't dare to disturb him.Fortunately, after getting the account book from Mrs. Wang, she also has some things to do, so she won't be too idle every day.

In recent days, Mrs. Chen often came to Chuanyun Courtyard.

Because Zhang Anchao is a concubine, his appearance still violated the Zhang family's family rules, and his biological mother had passed away, so he was not loved by the old Shangshu and the old lady, and the couple were very peaceful.

This time, Zhang Anchao will also participate in the Spring Festival.

Probably because of this, every time Chen came back to Chuanyun Courtyard, he always had a sense of inquiring.

Apart from being a little shy because of her status, Chen is a good person. Although Ruan Muyang could see what she was thinking, he didn't say anything about the difficulty of their life in Zhang's house.

In his free time, Ruan Muyang remembered the shapeless pattern of a hundred birds facing a phoenix painted in the palace at the end of last year, so he set up a desk in the room for painting.Because of the matter of King Yongjing, Concubine Ruan didn't even have time to see her when she left the palace, let alone ask about Bai Niao Chao Feng.

Although she is not competent at all, it is good to think about tempering her temper when she has nothing to do.

In the afternoon, Ruan Muyang stood in front of the desk with a pen in his hand, frowning slightly.There was a window next to it, and the sun already had some early spring warmth. She stood there in the bright light of the ground, extremely quiet, with a soft halo all over her body, facing the window on the other side of the window. The skin on the face was illuminated without any blemishes, and it was so delicate that water could be squeezed out.

I don’t know how much paper was wasted. Seeing that this is going to be a waste now, Ruan Muyang felt a little irritable. He didn’t even look up when there were footsteps coming from far and near. He just thought it was Diancui or enamel pouring water for her. .

Until a human-shaped shadow fell on the table, leaving an outline on her paper.

The bridge of the nose is high and straight, and the perfect edge line should be the line of the side face.Realizing that this line is unique to men, Ruan Muyang raised his head.Facing Zhang Anyi's smiling eyes, which were warmer than the sunshine in early spring, she asked in surprise, "Isn't Second Master reading a book? Why are you here?"

"When I read a Sanqu, I remembered my wife, so I came to see it."

Just read a Sanqu and think of her, and then distracted to see her when the spring is about to come?Zhang Anyi spoke normally, but Ruan Muyang could hear something different and moving, whether it was from the sun or what, his face slowly turned red.

"What word?" Her eyes fell into his Manhan.

"Come out of the Royal Linfeng Net, Mu Yi Qi Shouyang, and sigh Han Peng Weiyang. Zao Na Zhifeng Demon." His voice was low, with a three-point smile and three-point melodiousness. When he uttered the words, his eyes fell on the Ruan Muyang's body resembled the lingering look of a literati poet reciting poems to his beloved woman.

Ruan Muyang only felt that his every word was on the tip of her heart, making her heart throb with the ups and downs of his slightly undulating tone.

Slowly, the lingering lingering in the room is softer than the spring outside.

It's just that Ruan Muyang really doesn't have any accomplishments in learning, and there are very few Sanqus he has dabbled in. He has never heard of them before, so he can only understand the general meaning.But she found that the Sanqu actually contained the names of both of them.

Was he really distracted by this word?As the day of Chun Wei got closer, he became more and more romantic.Why didn't he ever think that he could do such absurd and coquettish things?
In fact, Zhang Anyi was indeed.When he read this sentence, he noticed Ruan Muyang's name sharply, and his heart softened. Then the word "Muyang" haunted his heart all the time, and it was useless to let him read other books .So he just came.

Just when Ruan Muyang was thinking about how to persuade him to go back so that he wouldn't look like a Hedong lion who was only looking forward to his husband's success, Zhang Anyi's eyes fell on the half-drawn picture on the case.

"Hundred birds chasing the phoenix? Madame actually likes painting?"

Hearing the smile and teasing in his tone, Ruan Muyang felt embarrassed, and reached out to put the paper away.

In the future, he will be a master of painting, who is hard to find every word and every painting. Isn't her painting skills ashamed in front of him?

But Zhang Anyi held down her hand.

Ruan Muyang became anxious: "Let go!"

"It's the first time I've seen Madam and I'm embarrassed." Zhang Anyi ignored her words and embarrassing attitude, instead he laid out her painting, leaned down, put his hands on the table, and began to admire it carefully.

He was standing obliquely behind Ruan Muyang, bending down as if he was holding her in his arms.

The weight behind him forced Ruan Muyang to bend down.Unable to struggle, and unable to cover it, she had no choice but to explain: "Concubine Ruan asked me to draw patterns for her when I was in the palace, and when I had nothing to do these two days, I remembered it, so I took it out and continued to draw. I'm not good at these things, and I'm a little too strong."

Zhang Anyi chuckled, his warm breath brushed over her sensitive skin, and then whispered in her ear, "I'll teach you."

Ruan Muyang raised his eyebrows.Do you still want to read the book and take the exam?Still have the time to teach her how to draw?
As if to bring her back to her senses, Zhang Anyi turned his head and kissed her lightly on the face and said, "Be more focused."

As he said that, he picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and continued to draw on a small part of the drawing she had drawn before, saying: "Hundred birds facing the phoenix depicts all the birds paying homage, the phoenix is ​​the main one, but the phoenix is ​​the main one." Can't be too rigid in the middle..."

He only lightly sketched a few strokes, and the originally shapeless drawing took on some form.

Ruan Muyang sighed in his heart, and slowly became serious.

Dian Cui, who came in to pour tea, saw how intimate they were, and quietly retreated with a blushing face.

But listening to it, the atmosphere between the two became wrong, Zhang Anyi got closer and closer, and pressed her tightly from behind.Whether it was intentional or unintentional, his lips always brushed against the back of her neck, side face and ears.

I don't know who's breathing gradually became faster.

Gradually, drawing was no longer the focus. Zhang Anyi's hand stopped, but Ruan Muyang was thinking about something, so he didn't notice it.

Realizing that it would be out of control if this continues, Zhang Anyi put down the pen, pinched her chin to make her turn her head and kissed her on the lips, then let go of her and said: "There are more than 300 kinds of birds in a hundred birds. , it’s really difficult. I’ll ask Mo Jian to send me two books in a while, Madam can start with a single bird.”

Ruan Muyang nodded.Suddenly remembered something, stopped Zhang Anyi who was about to leave, and said: "Three younger siblings often come to me these days, as if they want to inquire about some news. Do you have any way to warm up the book, so I can deal with her."

"There's no other way, it's just that you don't have any distractions." He said half-jokingly, "If you say that my biggest obstacle is the gentleness of my wife."

It wasn't until he left that she realized that they were just about to - have sex in the daytime.

When the spring was just around the corner, she almost became absurd.

When it was ten days before Linchun Wei, Zhang Anyi lived in the study completely.I don't know if he would be nervous, but Ruan Muyang himself became nervous first. Sometimes he dreamed that Zhang Anyi was in the examination room, sometimes he dreamed that Zhang Anyi was in high school, and sometimes he dreamed that something happened and Zhang Anyi failed the exam.

Every time I wake up, I can't fall asleep again.Zhang Anyi's Spring Festival this time is too important, if she can really win the gold list, she will be one step closer to being able to compete with Xie Zhao.

Regarding Zhang Anyi's participation in Chunwei, it seems that the only people in Zhang's mansion who are nervous are Chuanyunyuan. Others seem to believe that what Zhang Anyi said is a lie, and it is difficult to even enter the list. Also for jokes.

It was Ruan Muyang's natal family, because of the previous bet, the Zhao family valued this Chunwei very much, and sent people to deliver tonics several times, even Ruan Muyun also sent people to send some tonics.

The general examination began on the ninth day of February, and was divided into three sessions, each lasting three days. Due to the difficult conditions, countless candidates fainted in the examination room.

Ruan Muyang is not worried about this.Although Zhang Anyi looks handsome and looks like a gentle scholar, his body is very strong and strong because he sleeps on a hard bed all year round, gets up early every day to exercise, and does not generate carbon in winter.

The 67th day of February is the third game, and then [-] papers are read on the [-]th day, and the list is released on the [-]th day.

This year, Chunwei Zhang's family had two grandsons participating. Although one was not favored and the other was a concubine, the old lady showed indifference on the face, but she still cared about it in her heart.Since the beginning of Chunwei, Ruan Muyang took the initiative to go to the old lady's yard every day to accompany the old lady to chant Buddha.

The old lady did not refuse either.

The day of the third session of the [-]th Exam coincided with the time when I went to greet the old lady, and the female family members of the Zhang family got together.

Because of Ruan Muyang's beating of Zhang Anyu, the Ji family has always held a grudge against her, and said as a joke: "I heard that Mu Yang has been chasing Buddha with his mother these few days. famous."

When everyone disliked Zhang Anyu, Ruan Muyang was so nervous that he even recited Buddha's name, which was a bit ridiculous in the eyes of others.

Ruan Muyang didn't care about Ji Shi's joke, "Thank you, Second Aunt." After she finished speaking, she saw Zhang Anyu's mocking eyes beside Ji Shi.

He is also here today.

Because Zhang Anyi was coming back after the exam today, Ruan Muyang didn't stay with the old lady, and came out together after everyone had greeted him.

When she walked back to Chuanyun courtyard alone with enamel, she found someone following him.

Turning around, it was indeed Zhang Anyu.

"Fourth brother, do you have something to say?" Ruan Muyang asked while keeping a few steps away from him.

Zhang Anyu pursed her lips, smiled lazily, and said with strong sarcasm in her words: "These two sisters-in-law have been chanting Buddha with grandmother every day, I don't know how many people have been touched. I just came to ask if the second sister-in-law is so worried, is it true or not?" , how much of it is really for my second brother?"

To actually follow her all the way just to stab her a few words is indeed Zhang Anyu's temper.

Zhang Anyu had already determined that she had an affair with King Yong'an, and seemed eager to stare at her all day long to find evidence.No matter how you explain it, it's useless. Ruan Muyang was angry and didn't want to get entangled with him. He said in a cold tone, "I don't need your fourth brother to worry about the matter between me and your second brother."

Afterwards, Zhang Anyu didn't follow her again.

But his words echoed in Ruan Muyang's ears.How much of her worry is entirely for Zhang Anyi?
She didn't dare to ask herself, and she couldn't figure it out.

After returning from the third round of the exam, Zhang Anyi put on a normal look, without any slack, and immediately started preparing for the palace exam in March.Ruan Muyang was afraid of affecting him, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

It finally came to February [-]th, the day when the test results will be released.

Zhang Anyi went out early this morning, as if he was with his classmates.

I don't know if the old Shangshu and the old lady will send people to see the list, but Ruan Muyang himself gave money to the servant of Chuanyun Academy to let him look at the list.

Ruan Muyang sat in the hall of Chuanyun Courtyard, holding a cup in his hand and waiting.Early this morning, she couldn't calm down to do anything, so she simply didn't do anything and concentrated on waiting.

Behind her, Fa Fang twisted her fingers silently, while Dian Cui walked back and forth impatiently.

She remembered what Ruan Muyang said the night they got married, and couldn't help asking: "Ma'am, will our second master really win?"

Ruan Muyang nodded, his tone was extremely firm: "Yes."

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the courtyard, and Ruan Muyang's heart rose.

"Ma'am! Our second master has won! He has won!" The boy was so excited that his voice became hoarse.

Diancui called out excitedly first.

Ruan Muyang's hand holding the cup tightened suddenly, and he felt his throat dry when he opened his mouth: "How many names?"

"The first name! Our second master is Huiyuan!" This young man has also been in Chuanyunyuan for many years. Although he is not with Zhang Anyi all day like Mo Jian and Mo Wen, he also has great affection for Chuanyunyuan .Speaking of this, he actually burst into tears: "Our second master finally made it through."

"Ma'am, the second master has really won, and it's still the first place!" Dian Cui shouted excitedly holding the enamel.

Fang Fang was also so happy that tears welled up in her eyes: "Miss, you've made it through!" She excitedly called Ruan Muyang's address when he was in Ruan's house.

Ruan Muyang was also excited, besides that, most of the stones hanging in her heart were also dropped.She said to the boy with a smile on her face: "Your name is Hanshi, right? You will be promoted to second class in the future."

Afterwards, she stood up and said to Dian Cui and Fang Fang, "Prepare to reward you." If you distinguish carefully, you can hear a tremor in her voice.

After a while, when the person who reported the letter came, everyone would know, not only to reward, but also to give away money.

"Thank you, Second Young Madam!" Han Shi was overjoyed, took out a piece of paper from his bosom and said, "Madam, this is the list copied by the villain."

Perhaps because of anxiety, the writing on it was a bit scribbled and ugly, but it was enough to see clearly.

"You can also write?" Ruan Muyang had a good look at Han Shigao, and before the reporter came, he took the list and read it carefully.

Zhang Anchao failed the ranking.

When she saw a familiar name on it, Ruan Muyang shook her hand in shock, and the list slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

Fang Fang immediately picked up the paper and handed it to Ruan Muyang, asking, "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Dian Cui smiled and said: "It must be because I am so happy."

Ruan Muyang curled her lips and said, "Yes." Then, she looked at the list again, her eyes sparkling.

She was sure that she was not mistaken, the word "Shen Wei" was on the list, and she was fifth in the test.

Her ability to take part in the examination shows that she already has the fame of Juren, how can a woman have fame?
How did she dare to take the test?

There will be a palace test next, is she going to be an official in the court?

This is the crime of bullying the king!
After discovering such a shocking thing, Ruan Muyang's heart beat wildly.She didn't know why Shen Wei had to disguise herself as a man to take part in the imperial examination, and she didn't dare to wonder if Zhang Anyi knew about it.If he knew, it meant that he had a very different relationship with Shen Wei, and they deceived the emperor together with her. If he didn't know, they were classmates, and if something happened to Shen Wei in the future, he would definitely be implicated.

Should she remind Zhang Anyi?It’s okay if he doesn’t know, if he already knew, her reminder is not only superfluous, but also shows that she knows Shen Wei’s secret, and it can even be said to have broken the secret between them.

It is about the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is no small matter.

The joy had already been dispelled by the great surprise, and Ruan Muyang's heart suddenly became extremely chaotic.

But the happy Diancui Enamel and the others were still smiling, unaware that such a big secret was hidden on this list.

Suddenly, there was the sound of firecrackers outside.

"Ma'am, the messenger is here!" Han Shi shouted.

Ruan Muyang put away the list, took a deep breath and said, "Take the bounty, let's go."

As soon as he walked out of Chuanyun Courtyard, a servant congratulated Ruan Muyang. Obviously, the entire Zhang family had received the news——Zhang Anyi had won Huiyuan.

With a smile on his face, Ruan Muyang asked Diancui and Fangang to send happy money.

When she arrived at the main hall, people from the other courtyards had already arrived for a while, and the old Shangshu and the old lady had just arrived.

"Congratulations to Lao Shangshu, congratulations to Lao Shangshu, the second son is the first in the examination." Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the person who reported the letter said happily, "I hope the second son will continue to win the first place in the palace examination, three yuan and rank!"

There are many people outside Zhang's mansion who really join in the fun, and the Wang family has already sent people outside to distribute wedding money.

Some smiles finally appeared on Old Shangshu's serious face. From his eyes, Ruan Muyang could see that Old Shangshu was very pleased.

After all, Zhang Anyi is his favorite and most valued grandson, who has been raised by his side since he was a child.Old Shangshu always cared about teaching a good child prodigy to become Shang Zhongyong.

"Thank you." Old Shangshu said to the people beside him, "Hurry up and reward."

Seeing that Ruan Muyang was surrounded by the most people, the reporter came forward and said, "This is the second young lady of the Zhang family. Congratulations to the second young lady for marrying a good son-in-law."

Ruan Muyang was amused by his clever look: "Thanks for your hard work." She winked at Fang Fang, and Fang Fang handed over a purse.

The man took it and weighed it, and found that it was not light, and smiled and said many auspicious words.

After sending away the messenger and sending the servants outside to distribute the wedding money, the old lady called the people and said: "Come here, send the letter to Jingzhou quickly, and let his parents know."

When Ruan Muyang was about to speak, the old Shangshu spoke first: "Let's be late. There will be a palace examination next month."

From the capital city to Jingzhou, it took nearly a month to go back and forth. If Zhang Anyi became the top three in the imperial examination and sent someone to announce the good news, the news of the examination might have just reached Jingzhou.

This is what Ruan Muyang wanted to say.

Afterwards, the old Shangshu said: "Let's distribute some happy money first, and don't invite anyone. The noise disturbs the peace of An Yi's study, let him prepare for the palace exam."

After the general examination, there is also the palace examination, and the top three in the palace examination can enter the Imperial Academy.

At this moment, everyone in the Zhang family present remembered what Zhang Anyi said when Ruan Muyang entered the door the second day when the bride offered tea.

He said he wanted to enter Hanlin.

At that time, everyone felt that he was ignorant of the sky and the earth, but now no one dares to be so contemptuous.

There was a sudden silence and silence in the hall.Everyone seemed to be recalling the scene of that day, sighing in their hearts.

Until Zhang Anyu, the devil king of the world, broke the silence first, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law."

Then everyone came back to their senses, with smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, second sibling."

"Congratulations, second sister-in-law."

Of course, some of them are sincere and some are false.

After thanking them one by one, Ruan Muyang looked at the pale Chen family.Because they were concubines, Zhang Anchao and the Chen family kept a low profile in the Zhang family and rarely talked. Now that Zhang Anyi won the Huiyuan, everyone was congratulating Ruan Muyang, seeming to have forgotten that Zhang Anchao also participated in the examination.

"Congratulations to the second sister-in-law." Chen smiled a little ugly.

Ruan Muyang nodded to her.She knew that if she said too much at this time, it would be like showing off, and it would make Chen even more uncomfortable.

Throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people coming to Chuanyun Academy to congratulate, and at night it finally calmed down.

While waiting for Zhang Anyi to come back, Ruan Muyang took out the list and looked at it again.

"Second Master is back!" Dian Cui's voice brought Ruan Muyang back to his senses.

When she raised her head, Zhang Anyi had already walked beside her.

"Madam is looking at the list so carefully, but I'm afraid I'll make a mistake, and finally find that I'm not on it?" He teased with a smile.

Even though he won the first place in the test, there was no great joy on his face, his gentle appearance and soft smile in his eyes were the same as usual.It can be imagined that three years ago today, he who failed the ranking also smiled so gently.

Maybe it's because he experienced it at a young age, and time has polished him like a piece of round jade that has no edges and corners but is extremely hard.

When he fell into the trough and was ridiculed by thousands of people, he was able to face it calmly, and now he has reached the peak again, and it is no different.These ups and downs seem to be just a very ordinary experience to him, and the ridicule and praise of others have never affected him.He seems to be always looking at the distance, never limited to the eyes.

Ruan Muyang stood up and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated the second master yet."

"Congratulations to Madam, too, for marrying a good man." Zhang Anyi was in a good mood.

"Second master went out to drink with his classmates?" Ruan Muyang asked tentatively, "I think there is Shen Wei who came last time on the list."

The smile on Zhang Anyi's face remained unchanged: "Shen Sikong is fifth."

Shen Wei, the word four is empty, and the four elements are all empty.He called Shen Wei in such a way that his tone was extremely familiar.

Maybe he really didn't know that Shen Wei was a woman, or maybe she was hiding it too well, Ruan Muyang, who thought he was better at reading words and expressions, couldn't see anything from his face.She suddenly discovered that this gentle and harmless man had hidden all his sophistication under his gentle and handsome appearance, which was too profound.

Seeing that Ruan Muyang was silent, Zhang Anyi stretched out his hands to straighten the broken hair on her temples, looked at her and said, "Madam doesn't seem very happy?"

As soon as he approached, Ruan Muyang could smell the faint scent of wine on his body and the faint scent of lotus.It was the lotus fragrance on Shen Wei's body.

Facing his endless deep eyes hidden under the cover of a smile, Ruan Muyang smiled softly and said, "How could it be? I'm still looking forward to being named on the second master's gold list."
