Chapter 502: Xihuazhi 6
Chapter 502: Xihuazhi 6
New Year's Eve came again in a blink of an eye. This time I didn't have to worry about anything happening and I had a great year.
Soon the time for the imperial examination came. Shen Qi won the first place and Zheng Zhi won the third place. Jiang Zhengzhi also became a second-class Jinshi. Shen Qi and Zheng Zhi both stayed in the Hanlin Academy.
Hua Yizheng liked Zheng Zhi very much and arranged a marriage between him and Ling'er. After the two got married, they moved out of the Hua Mansion and lived in the courtyard where Ling'er came as a dowry.
Hua Rong and Jiang Zhengzhi also got married and followed him to take up a post in another place.
Huaqin married into a rich family as she wished. Although her inner world was not good, it was not difficult for her to live a good life with her character. What's more, Changran would help her secretly.
Bai Mingxia and Fu Dong also got married, and they ran the restaurant together. Chang Ran reduced his share.
Gu Yanxi and Hua Zhi had a tacit understanding. However, the mourning period for Prince Ling had not yet passed, and the marriage had not yet been put on the agenda.
Without Gu Chengtao, their relationship went much smoother. Gu Yanxi also knew that Hua Zhi was the one who comforted him in the palace.
Changran has been secretly treating Shaoyao since she came to Hua Mansion, and her mental recovery has been much faster.
Because Shaoyao and Changran knew each other first, they had a very good relationship. I like Shaoyao very much, and I treat her almost the same as I treat Huazhi. Shaoyao also felt the fatherly love in Changran.
Shaoyao and Shen Huan still got together. They are really sweet together.
Chang Ran found an opportunity to let the puppets beat up the three people who had played with Shen Huan before. When watching the drama, I especially wanted to beat them up.
This year's drought has caused a rise in grain prices in the imperial capital. Fortunately, Haoyue and his group have been dealt with. No one is secretly interfering. Although prices are high, they are still within everyone's acceptable range.
Gu Yanxi dealt with another group of people who took the opportunity to drive up prices, and stability returned to the imperial capital.
Hua Zhi also discovered the drought in advance through observation. In the previous year, the court had been dredging rivers and building reservoirs. Chang Ran also donated a lot of money anonymously.
Although there is a severe drought now, the people have suffered less because of advance preparations.
After the drought was over, Gu Yanxi and Hua Zhi finally got married.
Shen Qi and Hua Zhi still didn't end up together in this life, but he later met a wife who shared the same personality with him.
Shen Huan and Shaoyao also held a wedding. After the Shen family knew Shaoyao's identity, they were very happy.
After marriage, Gu Yanxi took Hua Zhi to travel, and Chang Ran also took Yu Niang and his son to travel together.
Hua Yizheng has recovered now, but he is still too weak to attend court. So he stays at home to write books and give lessons to the children.
The Sixth Prince had not experienced much in this life, so he might not be able to understand the plight of the common people. At the suggestion of the puppet, he often followed Gu Yanxi out of the palace in casual clothes to experience the lives of the common people. This could have some effect.
The new emperor is growing up and looks good now. As for what will happen next, no one can guess.
Bai Yu, Bolin, and Bai Li have all grown up, participated in the imperial examinations, and married. Now the Hua family has more and more people.
Only when their son was about to take the imperial examination did Changran and Yu Niang return to the imperial capital and settle down.
Gu Yanxi and Hua Zhi haven't come back yet. They are really good at running. When Hua Yizheng was still here, they came back often. After that, I haven't seen them much.
There were too many people in the Hua Mansion, so Changran bought a new house outside and moved there with his family to live separately.
I was used to being outside, so I felt uncomfortable and restrained when I returned to the imperial capital. However, Yu Niang didn't want to be separated from her child, so they stayed. If you want to play, go around the surrounding area.
The people I knew before are all older now and don’t seem as cute as before.
After seeing the next emperor ascend the throne smoothly, Chang Ran left with peace of mind. At least everyone had a period of peace again.
Every change of imperial power is an adventure.
