Chapter 476 The imperial examination results are out
Cen Li looked at the dozen or so people in front of him with a dark face and glared angrily, "What's going on with them?"
Zhu Yixuan clasped his fists and bowed, and replied warmly: "Second uncle, they are all preparing to return to Zhaohua County's caravan, and they are all my old acquaintances. Let's go with them, and we can take care of each other on the way."
Cen Li looked very dissatisfied, "Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?"
Zhu Yixuan blinked innocently, "Being among the caravans means you are hidden in the city. This is the real low-key."
"You" Cen Li pointed at Zhu Yixuan, so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Zhu Yixuan looked at the sky and said, "Second uncle, it's getting late. Let's leave first and say goodbye."
Cen Li watched Zhu Yixuan leave with the caravan. He had no choice but to go back and tell Cen Yingfan about the situation.
As if he had expected it, Cen Yingfan sneered: "I have already said that he must have a backup plan, and that boy did not disappoint me. If this happens, your plan will not be implemented."
"Brother, you still praise him!" Cen Li was furious and kept jumping around.
Cen Yingfan smiled, "Why are you so anxious! Zhu Yixuan is a smart man. He would never dare to offend the second prince. So what if he knows the secrets? You are just worrying."
Cen Li shook his head in disapproval, muttered for a long time, and left angrily.
Zhu Yixuan had already followed the caravan out of the imperial capital.
These caravan guards all came to the imperial capital with Suchuan and others, but Suchuan and the others still wanted to stay in the imperial capital for a while, so only forty or fifty people were allocated to escort Zhu Yixuan away first.
These were all discussed between him and Xiao Xi last night.
Xiao Xi was waiting on the high ground outside the city with a big bundle. When she saw the caravan coming, she hurried down the high ground. When Zhu Yixuan approached, she gave the big bundle to him.
"There are clothes, dry food, and money in the baggage. Master Zhu, the debt I owe you has been wiped out. Don't forget what you promised me!"
Xiao Xi looked up at him seriously.
Zhu Yixuan smiled, took the baggage, nodded to her, and rode away.
As soon as Zhu Yixuan left, the Zhaohua County imperial examination results came out.
The emperor looked at the articles in front of him and smiled from ear to ear. After discussing with several close ministers, he immediately ordered the imperial envoy to go to Zhaohua County to announce the decree.
The cold wind of late autumn mixed with the morning frost and fog.
At dawn, the gate of Zhaohua County had just opened, and a group of people were already approaching from a distance, arriving in the blink of an eye.
The officer guarding the city took a second look, recognized Zhu Yixuan on the horse, and said hello to him, but he was muttering in his heart. He glanced at the coffin behind the motorcade from time to time, curious but afraid to say anything.
Seeing Zhu Yixuan and his entourage go away, the official was about to hand over the goods when he saw another group of people galloping towards him.
His eyes suddenly widened and he murmured: "What's going on today? Could it be that something big happened again?"
Before he could figure it out, the imperial team had already entered the city and headed straight for the county government office.
Zhu Yixuan returned to the house safely and said habitually when he entered the house: "Ask the housekeeper to come over."
The concierge was trembling. After a while, a steward came, but he was not the manager.
Zhu Yixuan frowned, "Where's the housekeeper?"
The steward hurriedly knelt down and replied sadly: "Young Master, the steward's family had an accident in the ice field and died!" Zhu Yixuan was stunned and asked in a hoarse voice: "What did he do in the ice field?"
The steward burst into tears, "The master ordered the steward to go to the ice field to look for people. The ice field is full of dangers. They were targeted by wolves, and something happened to them all."
Zhu Yixuan was in a daze and hurriedly ran to Mr. Zhu's yard.
I don't know if it was because of the late autumn, but when Zhu Yixuan entered the courtyard, he only noticed a sense of desolation.
Mr. Zhu was lying on the bed and groaning. When he saw Zhu Yixuan, he thought he was dreaming!
He murmured to himself, "Yixuan! You have to hold on, our Zhu family can only count on you! If you are gone, the Zhu family will be doomed!"
Zhu Yixuan hurriedly stepped forward and held Master Zhu's hand, "Dad, my son is back. I'm back safely!"
Mr. Zhu shook hands hard, and then he realized what he was doing, and burst into tears, "Son! It's great that you're okay! Dad thought our Zhu family was going to be doomed! Woo woo woo"
"Dad, take care of him"
Mr. Zhu shook his head sadly, "I asked him to go to the ice field to find the Ke family and his son, and bring back the blood of our Zhu family no matter what! Unexpectedly, they were not found, but something happened to them! Do you think our Zhu family's anger has come to an end? ”
He has been thinking about this these days, feeling anxious all day long, and his health is getting worse and worse.

Zhu Yixuan immediately shook his head, "Dad, don't think too much. As long as I am around, the Zhu family will be fine. And I have found Ke's mother and son, and the Zhu family will not be extinct."
"Really? Where is it?" Mr. Zhu kept looking behind Zhu Yixuan.
Zhu Yixuan suppressed the sourness in his heart and comforted: "Dad, they are in the imperial capital and have not come back. Kang Cheng is now successful in his studies. If he works harder, he can be an official in the future. He can do things that I can't do. For his Considering the future, I didn’t disturb him. I told him to put his mind at ease.”
Mr. Zhu disagreed, "That is the blood of our Zhu family, how can we live outside!"
Zhu Yixuan had no choice but to talk about his situation and said with a wry smile: "Dad, it's not easy for me to survive by chance, and I won't be able to provide any help to my children in the future. If I come to meet you rashly, my children may still hate me, which is not good."
Mr. Zhu kept patting his thigh, "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have let Ke take the child away at all!"
"Dad, there is no regret medicine in this world. In that situation, you and my mother would never tolerate the existence of their mother and son, so there is nothing to say." Zhu Yixuan was calm and collected.
Mr. Zhu was very unhappy.
At this moment, the steward hurriedly came in and reported: "Master, eldest young master, the imperial envoy came to Zhaohua County to announce the results of the imperial examination. I heard that the imperial envoy is going to bring those candidates who have achieved the best results back to the imperial capital to face the emperor and be conferred an official title!"
The father and son looked at each other.
Mr. Zhu swallowed hard. Thinking of what his son had said, he finally couldn't let go and stopped talking about asking his grandson to recognize his ancestor and return to his family.
at the same time.
Shen Yi was rushing to Shenjiazhuang.
It was getting dark quickly now, and red lanterns had been hung up in the village in the evening. The village gate had not yet been closed, and the gatekeeper was somewhat surprised when he saw Shen Yi.
"Master Shen is back!"
Shen Yi stopped helplessly and said to the other party: "Notify the village chief that the imperial examination results are out and ask the village chief to come to my house."
"What? This is a big deal! How did my spring students do in the exam?" the other party couldn't wait to ask.
Shen Yi was quite speechless, "I can't reply to you now. Please help me find the village chief. I have to go back first. By the way, Mr. Chu and Mr. Zhou are also invited here."
