Chapter 212 I seem to hear my husband calling me
"Daughter, does Yang Biao have another residence in the capital?" Liu didn't care where Yang Biao was. She hoped it would be better if he never came back.
"Shi Rui, Xia Yi, you guys... forget it." Liu's question reminded her of the seven-courtyard house on Wangyun Street. She asked them to go there to find Yang Biao, but she immediately gave up the idea.
"Daughter, a poor student like Yang Biao will become completely heartless once he becomes successful. Look, he hasn't even become an official yet, but he's already staying out all night." Someone told Liu about Yang Biao's habit of picking up steamed buns to eat at Wenhua Academy.
"Mother, please be quiet, okay?" Xia Weiwei knew that Yang Biao was angry on the day of the full moon banquet, and Liu's words made her a little upset.
"I,..." Seeing that she looked unhappy, Liu felt sorry for her and hugged her in her arms.
"Wow, Yang Biao, you are so cunning that you actually sewed this on your leg." When Yang Biao returned home, the first thing he did was to take a shower. When Qin Xiaoran took his changed pants to wash, she discovered the mystery on the pants and laughed.
"Oh, but I have to kneel all day long," Yang Biao wailed while taking a bath. Without thick cotton, how could his knees bear it?
"Yang Biao, are you really not going to tell Sister Weiwei?" When he came out of the shower, Qin Xiaoran felt that this was not a good idea and advised him to tell Xia Weiwei, after all, she was the mother of his child.
"I'll go tomorrow." He wanted to postpone it for a day, as he didn't want to face it so early.
"Go now and come back to eat." Qin Xiaoran pulled him up, helped him tidy up his clothes, and pushed him out.
"Hey, don't push me, I can walk by myself." You are so unlovable. I have been taking exams for a whole day and I am tired. I want to have a good rest. Don't you understand me? Yang Biao kept complaining in his heart.
Yang Biao arrived at Tianguan Street, got off the car, took a deep breath, and walked into the gate with mixed feelings.
"Oh, you are out of money, so you come back to ask my daughter for alimony?" Mrs. Liu was trimming flowers in the yard, and when she saw him coming, she sneered at him.
"Well, I really have no money, you are so smart!" I just came back to get money, so what, I'm going to piss you off to death!
"You are really a freeloader and have no shame at all." Liu was so angry that she smashed the scissors in her hand to the ground. How could she find such a thing after choosing so carefully?
"You are a dirtbag who only picks up steamed buns to eat. You are not worthy of my daughter. Get out of here!" Thinking of him picking up other people's discarded dirty things to eat, Liu felt sick and wanted to vomit. She was a little hysterical.
Yang Biao looked at her gray hair, but he felt no pity in his heart. This suffocating love, if it was him, he would have broken free from the shackles and stayed away from her control long ago.
Xia Weiwei was the only daughter her parents had when they were old, so naturally she was extremely spoiled since she was a child. But now that the child had grown up and had her own husband and children, Liu Shi didn't know how to let go, and she was always chasing after her, and she was trying every means to infiltrate her life.
Yang Biao went straight to where Xia Weiwei lived. Liu ran over to stop him and forbade him to go there to find her daughter.
"Weiwei, come out! Weiwei..." The average life expectancy of ancient people was not long, and an old lady who was nearly 60 years old was considered to be old. Yang Biao did not want to have a conflict with her, so he shouted loudly in the yard.
"Hey, I seem to hear my husband calling me." Xia Weiwei was playing with the child at the moment. When she heard him calling her, she hurriedly handed the child to the wet nurse and went out of the house to see if she was hallucinating.
"Husband," the moment she saw Yang Biao, Xia Weiwei felt like crying. She thought he was angry and would never pay attention to her again.
"Madam, are you okay?" Yang Biao saw that she was not in good spirits, as if she was not getting enough sleep.
"Mother, please go back to your room and rest," Xia Weiwei held her back and asked Nanny Tong to help her go back.
"Madam," seeing Liu being dragged away unwillingly and warning him with her eyes before leaving, Yang Biao was about to laugh out loud. An old lady still had such a murderous aura.
"Let's go." There were people around, so it was inconvenient to talk. Xia Weiwei pulled him into her room, and Jinrong and the others also tactfully left the room and closed the door.
"Madam, you haven't eaten well again and you've lost weight again!" Yang Biao stroked her face, blaming himself for not taking good care of her.
"Yeah, I miss you!" There was no one in the room, so Xia Weiwei just hugged the man. She missed this embrace so much.
"Madam, your smile is my daily motivation." Yang Biao kissed her. What about not being worthy, what about forty-two days, go to hell. He wanted the two of them to become one. He wanted...
"Husband, you look so handsome in your official uniform!" Xia Weiwei helped him tidy up his clothes early in the morning and thought he looked really good.
"Madam, are you fascinated by your husband?" Yang Biao moved closer. He originally just wanted to give her a kiss, but he didn't expect that she would hold her face and kiss her deeply.
"Call Yu Mingyi, Yang Biao, and Huang Zewan to come to the audience!" The eunuch's voice sounded. Hearing their names being called, the three men hurriedly tidied their clothes and then entered the hall.
"Your Excellency,
"Your Highness Yang Biao,"
"Your Highness Huang Zewan,"
"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!" The three of them knelt on the ground and paid homage in unison.
"Well, raise your head!" Emperor Tianqi stood up from the dragon throne and looked at the appearance of the three people. According to convention, the one who looks good will be the third place winner of this year's competition.
Emperor Tianqi asked a few simple questions, and all three of them answered well. This was the emperor testing their ability to express themselves.
"The emperor announced that Yu Mingyi is the top scorer in the undergraduate exam, is granted the title of Jinshi, and is appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy." This is a sixth-rank official position. Yu Mingyi was overjoyed and immediately prostrated himself on the ground to thank the emperor for his grace.
"Huang Zewan was the runner-up in the undergraduate exam, and was awarded the title of Jinshi, and appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy." This is an official position of the seventh rank. Huang Zewan also prostrated himself on the ground to express his gratitude.
"Yang Biao was awarded the title of Jinshi (a scholar who won the imperial examination) and appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy." Yang Biao also thanked the emperor for his grace. After the three of them paid their respects, they stood aside, waiting for the official to announce the results of the others. The second place was awarded the title of Jinshi (a scholar who won the imperial examination), and the third place was awarded the title of Tong Jinshi (a scholar who won the imperial examination).
The results of the 335 candidates were announced. They were led to a room by eunuchs and changed into the specific clothes of the Imperial College. The top three candidates wore red clothes, and the rest of the Jinshi candidates wore blue clothes, which had to be returned after the parade.
All the newly-appointed scholars were dressed neatly, and according to tradition, they were all paraded through the streets.
"Please get on the horse, Mr. Number One Scholar!" A eunuch came over leading a horse and handed the reins to Yu Mingyi.
Yang Biao and Huang Zewan also received a horse each. It seems that only the top three can ride on horses and parade through the streets, while the others will have to walk the eleventh route.
"Please go through the main gate of the palace, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3!" The eunuch on the side announced loudly as the group walked to the gate of the palace.
According to convention, the first three people had to walk out of the main gate of the palace, and the parade officially began. At the front of the team were officers holding "Silence" and "Stay Away" signs leading the way, followed by guards.
"Hey, Miss, the brothers-in-law are coming this way!" The parade team came towards the street with music and drums. Hongling, who was waiting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, hurriedly called Xia Weiwei who was sitting next to her.
"Zhuo Qiu, look how proud your father is!" Xia Weiwei held the child. Although Yang Biao did not become the top scholar like her brother, he was still very good in her mind.
"Huh, so this man's name is Yang Biao. I want to see how long he can be so proud." Xie Xiyao, who was standing at another window of the restaurant, stared at the man on horseback with ferocious eyes.
