Chapter 179: Catching a son-in-law
After the exam, Xiuwen didn't think about anything else. He just ate and slept every day, completely relaxing himself. After three days, he finally recovered his energy and spirit.
Xiuwen returned to his old ways and followed his old schedule. He read books every day, copied books when he had time, and when he was tired, he would go to the Women's Square to chat with Zhang Kai and see how the business was going. What areas needed improvement?
The days passed by like this, and finally it was time for the results to be announced.
Zhang Kai originally wanted to drive Xiu Wen to see the list in a horse-drawn carriage, but a customer came to the Women's Shop with a savage personality. She felt that the clerk was slow in taking the clothes and neglected her, so she got angry with the clerk.
The clerk tried to explain and apologize in every possible way, but the customer's anger could not be calmed down. The clerk had no choice but to report to Zhang Kai and ask Zhang Kai to solve the problem.
Zhang Kai realized that he really didn't have time to send Xiuwen off, so he planned to ask a clerk to drive the carriage instead of him, but Xiuwen stopped him.
The distance from here is not very far. And there are many people looking at the list today, so it is not very convenient to drive there. Xiu Wen plans to walk slowly all the way and relax himself.
Zhang Kai saw Xiuwen insisted. The situation in the store was getting worse. He told Xiuwen to be careful of the crowd and pay attention to safety. Then he hurried to deal with the matter.
Xiu Wen followed the flow of people, avoiding the carriages coming from front and back, and strolled along the side of the street.
Xiu Wen did not look back. If he had looked back, he might have discovered that behind him, about a few dozen meters away, there was a group of people on horseback, protecting a carriage in the middle, and heading towards the place where the results were announced.
Occasionally, a young man's chattering could be heard from inside the carriage, as if he was saying, "Brother...taking the exam..."
Xiuwen walked for about 25 minutes before arriving at the place where the list was posted. There were so many people that Xiuwen found an angle to squeeze in. Before he even got to the list, he heard people talking about who was the top of the list, Xiao Xiuwen. He was amazing.
……
Xiu Wen was a little dazed. Were they talking about him?
Then he thought he had heard wrongly, so he simply squeezed a few steps forward. Then he looked up at the list.
The leader, Xiao Xiuwen, was clearly visible.
Xiu Wen was very excited and planned to leave the crowd. The address he filled in was Women's Square. If he was the champion, he should go and announce the good news.
I have to go back early and make some preparations, so as to avoid being in a rush when the good news comes.
Xiu Wen turned around and was about to leave, but someone suddenly called him, "Brother Xiu Wen, congratulations, congratulations to the top of the high school."
Xiuwen saw that he was a classmate from the same college, but they didn't have much contact. So he bowed and said, "I have something to do at home, Mr. Xiuwen, I'll take my leave."
"Ah, he is Xiao Xiuwen, this year's champion." A sudden exclamation seemed to awaken a certain spell. A group of servants who were originally lazing around suddenly surrounded him. Some pulled and some tugged. They shouted desperately, "Mr. Xiao, my master wants to see you."
"Mr. Xiao, my lady invites you."
"Mr. Xiao, my master has only one daughter. She is very beautiful and a perfect match for you. She also has a lot of wealth in her family."
……
Xiu Wen, who was always calm and rarely panicked, was frightened by this sudden scene. He struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Some people around were envious, some congratulated, but no one came to help.
More and more servants came over, and some even fought over Xiuwen.
Xiu Wen's clothes were torn and his hair was messy, but he couldn't break free from the arms of these people.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged over by the largest group of people and stuffed into the carriage, Xiu Wen shouted anxiously: "Help, who can save me?"
But the people around treated it as a joke, an interesting story of catching a son-in-law under the list. Some gave their blessings, some congratulated him, but no one was willing to come to the rescue.
