Chapter 514: 258 Delicious (Second Update)

Gu Jiao: You are a good husband.

At this moment, Xiao Liulang was helping Yao Family in the kitchen. Yao Family had made peach pastry, Xiao Liulang’s favorite, for him yesterday. However, Xiao Liulang didn’t have a chance to eat it because he came back late, so Yao Family made it again for him this morning.

Xiao Liulang came to help, but Yao Family refused. After all, who ever heard of a person, who excelled in the examinations, still mucking about in the kitchen?

But every time Yao Family declined Xiao Liulang’s help in one area, Xiao Liulang simply shifted to another area, such as watering the vegetables or tidying up the chicken coop. He was just too hard to resist since he was never idle.

Soon, everyone in the house was up. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun congratulated their brother-in-law. Even the little monk, who was often critical, didn’t voice any complaints, after all, the ornamental flower was quite lovely.

Among the three hairpins, the one for the examination laureate was the most intricately made, of the best quality, and therefore the most beautiful.

Associating the pretty flower with the laureateship, the monk decided to root himself even more deeply into his aspiration for future laureateship.

At this moment, no one knew that the initial will of the future legendary warrior from the six countries to excel in the examinations was merely for the sake of a beautiful flower.

The old lady gave Xiao Liulang a red packet and also gave one to Gu Jiao.

The old lady’s principle for giving red packets was: if Xiao Liulang had it, Jiaojiao would also have it. If Xiao Liulang didn’t have it, Jiaojiao would still have it.

The family sat down to breakfast.

Xiao Liulang sat across from Gu Jiao. Their interaction was no different from usual days, especially for Xiao Liulang, who put on a calm and composed countenance, as if he had forgotten what happened when he was drunk.

The little monk was eating a small steamed bun from his bowl and suddenly made a curious observation, “Jiaojiao, your and brother-in-law’s lips are so red. What did you eat?”

Both Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao chocked at the same time.

After breakfast, Xiao Liulang took the little monk to school, then he went to the Yamen to register his household in the morning. After becoming a laureate, his household would move to the Hanlin Academy. From now on, he would be a resident of the Capital City, a privilege reserved for only the highest academicians.

The old tutor planned to take him out at noon to meet a friend. After that, he wouldn’t come back in the afternoon and would go directly to the Luming Banquet.

After Gu Jiao got a clear idea of his itinerary, she said nothing. She watched him leave the house and then headed to the Medical Hall.

After Xiao Liulang finished his household registration and met with a senior official from the imperial court, he went to the Imperial Palace in the afternoon.

Although it was still early days, many new scholars had already arrived at the Taihe Hall, chatting with each other. Some of them might become colleagues in the future, so it was always good to establish relationships in advance.

Fen Lin and his companions didn’t leave early last night. They watched a lot of enjoyable singing and dancing, and enjoyed their time as romantic intellectuals. All three of them got up late today, but they still managed to arrive before Xiao Liulang.

“Liulang!” Fen Lin was about to enter the Taihe Hall, when he spotted Xiao Liulang out of the corner of his eye.

Among the three, Fen Lin had known Xiao Liulang the longest, owed Xiao Liulang the most, and had gone through the most with Xiao Liulang. Hence, he always spotted Xiao Liulang first.

“Liulang.” Lin Chengye also greeted him like a little fan.

Only Du Ruohan snorted disdainfully.

“You drank too much last night, are you all right?” Fen Lin asked concernedly, then he added guiltily, “I should have taken you home yesterday.”

“Cough, I’m fine,” Xiao Liulang said earnestly.

Du Ruohan snorted, “I told you he was okay, didn’t I? He’s a married man. He went home to his warm wife and child. Why are you worried about him?”

Xiao Liulang’s face turned slightly red, he cleared his throat and said, “Let’s go inside.”

The four of them entered the Taihe Hall. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Xiao Liulang’s early departure yesterday had made some people unhappy. In such a world, if you are too clean, you will only make others look unclean.
