Zuo Xiangfu.

Xue Lushi was pacing back and forth in the main hall, holding a fan in his hand, fanning it again and again.

Even so, Xue Lu still felt that he was very hot, and the sweat on his head hadn't stopped.

Compared to Xue Lu's, Xue Shu is really much more laid-back.

She nestled in the armchair with a piece of pastry in her hand, eating it deliciously.

Today's release of the list is a major event that can determine the future of the Xue family. Early in the morning, Xue Yao was pulled out of the bed by Aunt Wu and sent over by force.

Xue Yao didn't feel anything at first, but seeing that Xue Lu, who had always been as steady as a mountain, was so anxious, she couldn't sit still unconsciously.

She looked at Xue Shu who was still busy eating snacks, and felt a little unbalanced for a while: "Sister, today is the day when the palace examination is announced, how can you not be in a hurry?"

How could she not take Xue Chen's future into her heart so much?

What about my sister?
It doesn't feel as good as her concubine sister.

"What if I'm in a hurry?" Xue Shu replied lightly.

She knew the result.

It's just that I'm not sure whether the result of this life is different from the previous life.

Anyway, it's just that he won't fail the ranking, and the difference is not too bad.

"Brothers and sisters, I didn't expect to not take my brother's affairs so seriously." Xue Yao's tone was sour.

"Second sister takes brother's matter to heart, why didn't second sister come out to see him off on the day of the exam?" Xue Shu lowered her phoenix eyes, slightly curled her lips, with a calm expression, but the words she said were so difficult to catch.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Xue Yao had no choice but to shut up.

That can't blame her.

It's too early.

The chicken didn't get up yet.

How can she get up?
Xue Shu came here early in the morning, and she didn't intend to argue with Xue Yao. Seeing that she had stopped, Xue Shu continued to eat her cakes.

There is no turmoil inside.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the concierge ran into the front hall with joy on his face, opened his mouth and started yelling: "Ma'am! The young master won the first prize! It's the first prize!"

"No. [-] scholar?!" Xue Yao exclaimed directly, looking even more excited than Xue Lu.

She was really excited, and even trembled slightly.

Champion!
She has a brother who is number one, who would dare to look down on her in the future? !
Xue Lu breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her chest with one hand, and finally put down the fan with the other.

No. [-]!

—As expected of her son!

After relaxing, Xue Lu did not forget to ask one more person: "How is Mr. Jing?"

"Young Master Jing has won Tanhua!"

Only then did Xue Shu secretly heave a sigh of relief, her hands kept moving, she crushed a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

Fortunately, there were no surprises.

Qingyu on the side began to admire Xue Shu's psychological quality.

Champion!
This is the champion!

How could Xue Shu be so calm when her own brother won the first prize!
Xue Lushi was finally willing to sit down, and Zhang's mother brought a cup of tea at the right time, and her voice was also full of joy: "Ma'am, our son has won the first prize, this is great!"

Xue Lu took the teacup with trembling hands, and nodded repeatedly: "Order to set up a porridge place and set off firecrackers! Then ask the kitchen to cook a table of noodles. Today is a very lively and lively day!"

"Yes!" The task was heavy, and Zhang's mother didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she hurried down to give orders.

As soon as the gold list came out, the next step was to parade across the street.

The No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] and Tanhua need to arrange flowers and wear red clothes, go out from Xuande Gate, and swim around the capital before returning to their residences.

Along the way, sachets and handkerchiefs are definitely unavoidable.

Thinking that Xue Chen would be smashed all over by the sachet and handkerchief, Xue Shu laughed quite unconscionably.

"What are you laughing at?" Xue Lu's family relaxed completely, and finally noticed Xue Shu, "Your Mr. Jing will also be smashed all the way."

Xue Shu: ...

The dim sum in my hand suddenly tasted bad.

Xue Shu tossed the pastries aside in a lack of interest, and put one hand on the table, regretting that she didn't go out today.

She also wanted to see the grand occasion with her own eyes.

*
It was another grand ceremony of passing on a group of people, and another parade through the streets on horseback. Xue Chen had been busy all day, and finally returned to Zuo Xiang's mansion until dusk.

He had been hungry for a whole day, and he hadn't had any water or rice, so he was already hungry and even dizzy.

Fortunately, the tables in the kitchen were all ready, Xue Chen didn't even pause for a step, and directly strode into the flower hall.

The big family gathered together very well today.

Not only Aunt Wu was there, but even Aunt Kang, who was always the most out of gregarious, was here.

Before the banquet began, Xue Yue stood up holding his glass of wine, as if he was about to make a long speech.

Xue Lu didn't stop him either.

He should talk, they should eat.

In short, don't delay anyone.

As soon as Xue Yue opened his mouth, Xue Lu had already picked up his chopsticks, followed closely by Xue Chen and Xue Shu.

Xue Yao was also already hungry, seeing Xue Shu move her chopsticks, she also wanted to eat a couple of bites quickly, but just as soon as she glanced at her, she was held down by Aunt Wu.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Wu gave her a warning look.

Xue Yao had no choice but to twitch her lips, and felt aggrieved to touch her stomach that had been starved for a long time.

The mothers were so disrespectful to Xue Yue that even the chopsticks made a crisp sound when they touched the dishes, Xue Yue's passionate speech naturally couldn't continue.

He had to finish it hastily, and sat down to eat together.

As soon as he moved the chopsticks, Aunt Wu finally let go of Xue Yao's hand and told her to move the chopsticks first.

Such a big happy event, such a big banquet, cannot pass without drinking two glasses of wine.

Xue Chen wanted to drink too.

Although he is not studying hard in a cold window, he should put in as much effort as others. He wakes up earlier than a chicken and sleeps later than a dog. It is no exaggeration for him.

After studying hard for decades, now he has finally won the first prize, and he will soon be able to step into the imperial court to show his ambitions, so how can he not be excited.

Both Xue Lushi and Xue Shu drank a few cups with him.

Xue Yao was also pushed to the front by Aunt Wu, and accompanied her a few times.

As for Xue Yue...

He wanted to accompany him, but Xue Chen didn't give him face at all.

Xue Yue never helped him at all, and the only love he had was only in words.

For such a father who is dispensable, or even worse than nothing, how could Xue Chen accept his drink.

Even if there was no one to accompany him to drink, he himself drank one after another. He stopped drinking until his sanity became a little clouded, and was helped back to Tingzhu Garden.

As soon as Xue Chen left, Xue Lu took a look at Xue Shu.

Xue Shu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Only then did Xue Lu get up and took Xue Shu back together.

Seven people, three less at once.

Even the protagonists of this scene have left the stage, so what can they do with the supporting roles.

Of course, they stuffed a few mouthfuls hastily, and went back to the yard for another meal.

*
When Xue Shu returned to Tangli Residence, Qin Xiang had already turned on the lamp and fell asleep.

Qingyu removed the hairpin for her, changed into her pajamas, then yawned and retreated.

It was too late now.

Xue Shu rubbed her eyebrows and went to the bed and sat down.

Suddenly something doesn't feel right.

This bed...why is it so warm, it's obviously the temperature of someone just lying on it?
