The afternoon of the day when the Wu Xiucai examination ended.

Fang Yue checked out of the firewood room of the restaurant and prepared to return to Daliushu Village.

After all, checking out a day earlier could save a little money.

Besides, he had already finished the examination and obtained the status of Wu Xiucai, so he didn't have to wait for the results to be announced tomorrow.

After leaving the restaurant, Fang Yue went to Zhang Boyang's mansion.

It took only one stick of incense to arrive at Zhang's mansion.

However, Zhang Boyang was out and not at home. Fang Yue told the housekeeper about his purpose and asked him to tell Zhang Boyang that he was leaving, and then he was ready to leave Zhang's house.

Just as he walked to the door, Zhang Shu walked in from outside, and there was a girl beside her.

"Fang Yue, what are you doing here? Are you going to leave without waiting for the results to be announced tomorrow? Did you fail the exam?"

"Haha, I knew you were a toad wanting to eat swan meat. You have practiced martial arts for more than a year, but you failed the exam, while others did. This is the difference! A peasant is always a peasant!"

Zhang Shu may think that Fang Yue is leaving today because he actually failed the exam and has no face to stay in Xiahe County.

She immediately sneered and didn't take Fang Yue seriously at all.

How could a poor country boy who has only practiced martial arts for more than a year pass the exam?

He is in a hurry to go back without waiting for the results to be announced. He must have failed the exam and has no face to stay here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shu's smile became even stronger.

And the woman next to her also looked at Fang Yue curiously at this moment.

Sure enough, this country youth in her bestie's mouth was dressed very simply, and even had patches on his clothes.

Sure enough, he was a country farmer, a poor ghost who couldn't show up.

Immediately, her pretty face showed contempt and dislike, and she also followed the mockery:

"Your name is Fang Yue, right? I don't care what means you used to make Uncle Zhang want to recruit you as a son-in-law, but I advise you not to be wishful thinking."

Fang Yue couldn't help but touch his nose when he heard it.

"In this case, please tell Uncle Zhang that Fang Yue will not come in the future."

Since Zhang Shu has said this, it is naturally not good for him to stay, and he may not even be able to come in the future.

If it weren't for Zhang Boyang's care for him, he would have taught Zhang Shu a lesson long ago.

"Haha, and this one, watch your mouth, there is a saying that trouble comes from the mouth."

Fang Yue immediately smiled at the woman next to Zhang Shu, and then left directly regardless of how ugly the other person's face was.

"Damn it, damn it, this kind of person is really uneducated, he deserves not to pass the exam!"

The girl next to Zhang Shu stamped her feet and said in shame and anger.

She didn't dare to admit that she was frightened by Fang Yue's gaze when he was staring at her.

"Yes, he will definitely not pass the exam!" Zhang Shu came back to her senses at this time, and she was also full of regret.

She was obviously mocking Fang Yue for being a toad eating swan meat, but why did she seem to be ungrateful?

It's really infuriating!

On the other hand, after leaving Zhang's house, Fang Yue left the county town directly and embarked on the journey home.

It was almost evening at this moment, so he had to hurry up and find a place to stay in the village ahead.

~~~~~~

The next day,.

In the center of the county town, in the square in front of the main gate of Xiahe County Government

After hearing a few noisy sounds of gongs and drums, the gate of the county government opened.

Four yamen runners in bright red uniforms played suona, and surrounded a military officer holding a list and walked out of the county government.

They went straight to one side of the county government and hung the bright red list on the wall.

This is a list made of red silk cloth, with fifty names neatly written on it.

Except for one name in the center, the other forty-nine names are arranged around it like stars surrounding the moon.

The font is very large, and even people far away can see it.

The crowd immediately became excited.

Of course, there are many candidates who just took the test yesterday and obtained the Wu Xiucai. Although they knew the results in advance, they now posted the list to make it public.

The crowd cheered and praised endlessly, which naturally made people feel refreshed.

On the second floor of a restaurant next to the square, Zhang Shu leaned on the railing and looked at the crowd in the square.

Obviously, she actually said yesterday that Fang Yue would definitely not pass the exam.

But she was still a little worried in her heart. What if that guy passed the exam? What if something happened!

So, she pulled her best friend here early this morning.

"Sister Shuer, that person must not have passed the exam, otherwise why did he leave yesterday and didn't even dare to look at the list!" Zhang Shu's best friend said indifferently.

"Of course, with Senior Brother Wang here, he will definitely fail the exam." Zhang Shu did not reply, but laughed at herself.

She had intentionally or unintentionally told Wang Teng the news that her father was going to marry her to Fang Yue just in case.

With Wang Teng's temper, he would definitely take action against Fang Yue.

By then, Fang Yue would definitely fail the exam.

So, what was she worried about? Wouldn't it be unnecessary to come here today!

"Miss, it's bad, it's bad, Fang Yue passed the exam!"

After a while, a woman who looked like a maid ran upstairs panting and said to Zhang Shu in panic.

"What did you say? Did you see it right? It shouldn't be, how could he pass the exam?" Zhang Shu's face changed immediately, and she grabbed the maid in front of her with both hands, and asked in disbelief.

Her voice was sharp and harsh, with disbelief and panic. She didn't even realize that she was a little worried at the moment.

But in the end, he still argued forcefully: "If you pass the exam, you will pass the exam. A mere martial artist is nothing. If you are not an official or an official, you will still have no future!"

Bang~

At this moment, a clear and loud voice sounded in the restaurant.

Immediately,

Then Zhang Boyang appeared next to Zhang Shu, and half of Zhang Shu's face quickly swelled.

"Look down on Wu Xiucai? I didn't expect that I would give birth to a daughter like you! I'm so angry!"

Zhang Shu was stunned for a moment. She didn't even feel the burning pain on her face. She stayed there.

It took a while before he realized what he was doing. He covered his face and cried:

"Dad, you hit me, you hit me for an unrelated piece of shit!"

Zhang Boyang snorted coldly. In the past, whenever Zhang Shu cried, he would definitely give in.

But today he was really angry. Fang Yue was insulted by Zhang Shu yesterday afternoon. He went home today and listened to the butler's explanation.

He was immediately furious because he was optimistic about Fang Yue's potential.

It won't change just because the other party failed to pass the Wu Scholar exam this time. Besides, he already knew from acquaintances in the county government that Fang Yue was admitted to the Wu Scholar exam!

And with the opponent's talent and qualifications, it is not a problem to pass the martial arts examination in the future, and there may even be a possibility of going further.

He betrothed Zhang Shu to the other party for Zhang Shu's good, but he didn't expect that this daughter would not take his good intentions into consideration at all.

"Take the young lady back to me, don't let her be embarrassed here!"
