Chapter 354: The Scholar Who Married into the Imperial Examination (32)
Zhang Shili looked at Hang Huaijing's still pretty face, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Since entering the capital, Shi Ziwei has been busy trying to win over court officials and entertaining them every day, causing Zhang Shili to have less and less money and his living standard to gradually decline.
After that, he continued to write letters to the Lin family. Although Lin's mother gave some subsidy, it was still not enough to support Shi Ziwei's expenses.
Zhang Shili was forced to dissuade him again and again, but was severely scolded by Shi Ziwei.
"Zhang Shili, am I the one who wants to spend money to find connections? If you want to blame someone, blame your father. If he had given me his connections, why would I have to work so hard?" Shi Ziwei asked with contempt in his eyes.
Zhang Shili became even more annoyed after hearing this.
Not long ago, Shi Ziwei came back with a smell of rouge on his back. Although the other party said that it was accidentally stained when drinking, he didn't believe it at all. Who would have scratches on their back after drinking?
Zhang Shili remembered that Shi Ziwei would take the imperial examination soon, so he did not argue and endured it.
After all, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?
However, Shi Ziwei became more and more excessive and even left him alone to spend the night outside.
And now he is vicious again.
"Shi Ziwei, what are you doing in Beijing?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to take the imperial examination."
"Since you are taking part in the imperial examination, what's the point of making connections? If you pass, people will naturally come forward to curry favor with you. If you fail, it will be useless no matter how much you curry favor with others." Zhang Shili scolded Shi Ziwei angrily.
Hearing this, Shi Ziwei became angry and slapped Zhang Shili subconsciously. With hatred in his eyes, he stared at Zhang Shili fiercely and said, "Shut up."
"Zhang Shili, I'm your husband, how can you talk back? Besides, isn't everything I do because of you?"
Shi Ziwei liked Zhang Shili before, so he remained indifferent to the proactive flattery of some boys or girls.
And now, Shi Ziwei vaguely realized that Zhang Shili might still have feelings for Jiang Zui, and Zhang Jing did not give him much help.
So when someone outside instigated him, Shi Ziwei went straight to other guys and girls in order to anger Zhang Shili.
However, these are all trivial matters in Shi Ziwei's view.
But in Zhang Shili's view, Shi Ziwei betrayed him.
Zhang Shili originally wanted to live a good life with Shi Ziwei, but he didn't expect this to happen. He was slapped by Shi Ziwei again. Zhang Shili hated Shi Ziwei even more. Without thinking, he directly retorted: "For me?
Shi Ziwei, be honest with yourself, are you doing this for me or for yourself?
After a pause, Zhang Shili said dejectedly: "After the trial is over, let's get divorced."
"Divorce?!" Upon hearing this, Shi Ziwei's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Zhang Shili in disbelief and asked, "Zhang Shili, are you sure you want to divorce me?"
"I'm sure." Zhang Shili nodded and said firmly.
"Zhang Shili, what are you doing?"
From the beginning to the end, Shi Ziwei never thought that one day Zhang Shili would ask for a divorce from him.
“I didn’t make a scene.
Shi Ziwei, I have never liked you, and marrying you was my father's wish. Admittedly, I wanted to live a good life with you, but you are so disappointing. "
Shi Ziwei's current condition made Zhang Shili feel that there was no chance that he would pass the exam. Since he and his father had bet on the wrong horse, they naturally had to cut their losses in time.
Hearing this, Shi Ziwei gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Shili, how have I wronged you? You actually want to divorce me?"
At this moment, Shi Ziwei felt a little angry and nervous.
Because he knew that everything he had came from Zhang Shili. Without Zhang Shili, where would he find a sucker to provide him with food and drink?
In fact, as early as when Jiang Zui ranked first in the exam, he felt nervous inside, which was why he got the 18th place in the provincial examination. If it weren't for Jiang Zui, perhaps he could have moved up a few places.
Afterwards, he learned that Jiang Zui was the top scorer in the imperial examination, which made him even more unable to concentrate on his studies.
That's why he asked Zhang Jing for connections and made friends with the powerful in the capital.
Zhang Shili didn't want to continue arguing with Shi Ziwei, so he just turned around and left.
Today, the imperial examination was over, and Shi Ziwei wanted to reconcile with him, so he proposed a date.
He thought about it for a long time and agreed.
