Chapter 167 Father, if you found out that Xianxian was missing, would you cry?
Chapter 167 Father, if you found out that Xianxian was missing, would you cry?
Your Majesty, what happened this morning?
Not only did he get a big bump on his head, but he also drank the little princess's urine?
Unspeakable images have already appeared in everyone's mind.
What to do if you want to laugh?
The emperor coughed twice and said, "My daughter, don't say that."
"If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please leave the court!"
The Prime Minister was the first to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the positions of the top three and the princes have been drawn up. Please review them."
The emperor nodded, and Godley took the list and showed it to the emperor.
Emperor: "After the court session, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, and the Ministry of Personnel will accompany me to the Imperial Study to confirm this matter."
Everyone stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Long Xianxian had already started digging in the melon field at this moment, and then she saw the head of the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy light up.
What happened to the Hanlin Academy's Grand Secretary's eyes? They're swollen like walnuts. They complement my father's unicorn perfectly.
Hearing the little princess's thoughts, everyone looked at the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.
At this moment, the students of the Hanlin Academy also looked up.
His whole face was shriveled, and his eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Prime Minister: "Master Jun, you've been crying all night!"
Grand Tutor: "Hey, Master Jun, the past cannot be retrieved. We must look forward. Look at the Prime Minister. Even though his wife cheated on him, he still managed to marry again!"
The Prime Minister said: "What are you talking about, Grand Master? It's better than you still wetting the bed at your age!"
The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy snorted coldly: "Get out of here, both of you!"
[That shouldn't be the case. He should be happy!]
Long Xianxian asked 666 to pull out his scroll.
[You've found your daughter, why are you still crying? ]
On the scroll, Junfu.
Jun Jiuling was pacing anxiously at home when the servant rushed in.
"Master, the people we sent out sent word that the young lady has been found!"
Jun Jiuling came over hurriedly: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, the young lady went to watch the number one scholar parade through the streets. He kowtowed to her in the street and then sent someone to take her back. Our people followed and have already found her residence."
Jun Jiuling: "Quick, take me to see it!"
When he thought about seeing his daughter soon, Jun Jiuling couldn't wait to go.
The carriage was quickly prepared, and Jun Jiuling asked his servants to take him to his daughter's residence.
This is a small alley in Beijing.
There are all kinds of people around.
The mother of the top scholar, who had just returned, was being helped out from inside.
The young woman was still holding a lantern in her hand.
"Madam, is this lantern hanging at the door?"
The old lady had her back to Jun Jiuling, but she was looking around to see where would be most suitable.
No one here would have imagined that the top scholar's mother was in this alley.
When the old lady came out, Jun Jiuling, who was sitting in the carriage, burst into tears.
His daughter is only in her thirties, but she looks like an old woman.
The old lady nodded, turned her head and looked towards the door.
Although it was only a side profile, the moment she turned her head, Jun Jiuling saw a face that looked very similar to his deceased wife.
"My daughter!" Jun Jiuling murmured and cried out.
Suddenly, there was a cry, and the old lady subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
But unexpectedly, the top scholar came on horseback at this time.
There were people beating drums and gongs in front, and the whole alley was boiling with activity.
After the woman finished hanging the lanterns, she came to the old lady and said, "Old lady, the number one scholar is here!"
The old lady had no time to listen to the crying and was led by the woman to the entrance of the alley.
When the people around heard that a top scholar had emerged in this alley, they all came out to share in the joy.
Jun Jiuling saw the lively scene in the distance and closed the curtain.
The attendant asked, "Master, are we still going?"
Jun Jiuling: "Let's go back home first!"
Zhang Qianhe had promised him that after the parade, he would bring his daughter to find him at his mansion.
The carriage slowly left, but Zhang Qianhe could not control his emotions. Holding the keepsake left by his wife, he couldn't help crying again.
The old lady didn't have much money, but she gave it all away as rewards.
Zhang Qianhe dismounted, came to his mother, and knelt down immediately.
"Mom, I've lived up to my destiny and have earned the top spot in the imperial examination. Thank you for raising me over the years!"
This kneeling was met with warm applause from all around.
"The mother of the top scholar has raised a good son. She is truly amazing to have raised a top scholar."
"You used to look down on me for being a poor old woman, but have you ever thought that my son could go to high school?"
"Old Liu's house will be the residence of the top scholar in the future, and our alley will be famous in the future!"
"From now on, our alley will be called Zhuangyuan Lane. Next time my son takes the imperial examination, he'll also be on the list of successful candidates!"
"Congratulations to the top scholar, congratulations to the old lady!"
……
Afterwards, the top scholar returned to the house with his mother.
The old lady was still arranging a banquet for the neighbors.
Although they had come from afar and had not even lived there for two months, her family had produced a top scholar, and the neighbors all rushed to curry favor with her.
The old lady was a simple and honest person, and she also prepared a buffet for everyone to enjoy the wedding banquet.
It was not until evening that the people were sent away.
After everyone left, Zhang Qianhe went to the old lady's room.
Then he told her the old lady's life story.
The old lady was surprised: "Are you telling the truth? My mother's father is still alive?"
The old lady cried. She didn't expect her mother to die of such guilt. She also hated the human trafficker.
But she had no memory of her childhood, not even her enemies.
Zhang Qianhe: "Mom, shall I take you to Jun Mansion?"
The old lady nodded, but then shook her head.
"No, although mother really wants to recognize father, what is his status? You just won the top prize. If mother rashly recognizes him like this, people will think you are trying to climb up the social ladder. Although mother can't read, she still understands the truth."
Zhang Qianhe didn't expect that his mother was really thinking about him.
Zhang Qianhe: "Mother, the palace examination is over today. It was Elder Jun who told his son personally. He missed you so much that he fainted in tears in the hall when he heard about this."
The old lady's heart ached. She also wanted to see her parents again.
"Okay, Qianhe, take mother with you!"
That night, Zhang Qianhe took his mother to Jun's Mansion.
At this moment, the lights in the Jun Mansion were on. The servants at the door saw Zhang Qianhe's carriage coming from afar and came to greet him.
"But the young lady is back?"
Zhang Qianhe: "Qianhe brought his mother to ask to see Master Jun!"
The servant said: "Please come in quickly, our master has been waiting for you all day."
As the servant said this, he sent someone over to help the old lady get out of the car.
When the servant saw the old lady, he confirmed that she was their young lady. She looked exactly like the old lady when she was young.
"Miss, the master prepared the candied crisps you loved as a child, and he's been thinking about you all day long!"
When the old lady heard this, her eyes became moist.
The servant at the door had already gone in to report.
When Jun Jiuling heard that his daughter was coming, he ran to the door despite being an old man.
Then, Zhang Qianhe was seen supporting his mother to the door.
As soon as the father and daughter met, they seemed to have a telepathic connection, and both of them couldn't stop crying!
Jun Jiuling: "My daughter, I am finally looking forward to your return home!"
Jun Jiuling walked forward tremblingly, hugged his daughter and burst into tears.
[It's quite touching. After not seeing his daughter for twenty years, Old Man Jun is going crazy. Father, if you found out Xianxian was missing, would you cry too?]
