Because Taifu Shen was appointed by the emperor to be the examiner of the current examination, there are now more people waiting to see him in front of Shen's house than before.
But Mrs. Shen was nowhere to be seen.
Those people could not see Taifu Shen, so they made an appointment with Shen Wenyuan instead...
Shen Wenyuan was always in high spirits when happy events happened, and he succeeded in the test in a foreign country, and now countless aristocratic families are fawning over and praising him...
I felt very proud.
I saw several maids walking to the tea room carrying refreshments.
"A guest is coming to the house? Isn't my father not seeing anyone?" Shen Wenyuan asked doubtfully.
The maid Fu Shen replied: "The Crown Princess of the North Palace is here to visit. The master said that when the Crown Princess comes to the mansion, she must be treated with the best tea."
Jiang Rong?
What is she here to do?
Shen Wenyuan's eyes flashed and he suddenly realized. Chi Moyan, the crazy student in the Northern Palace, is now famous throughout the Xia Dynasty, and everyone knows about it.
Each province has the first place in the provincial examination.
But no one is as arrogant as him.
Publicly clamoring for a showdown in the meeting...
The most exciting thing in the capital right now is guessing who will be number one in the test this year.
Chi Moyan is the favorite to win the championship. Because he is so arrogant, and because of his beautiful article that won the first place in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination, people have to admire him. He does have the confidence to be arrogant.
Shen Wenyuan was very jealous of this.
He tried his best to win the election and ranked low...
He will definitely fail the next examination.
Now, because his father is taking the exam, he has told the public that he cannot take part in this year's exam to avoid suspicion, but he also knows very well that he is too weak to pass the exam even if he takes part.
I thought that Chi Moyan would definitely win if he dared to speak out wild words, but he didn't expect that Jiang Rong would come to his father to smooth things over?
ridiculous.
If his old-fashioned father could adapt, he wouldn't refuse the prince's olive branch and make him anxious.
Shen Wenyuan wanted to see Jiang Rong's joke and immediately walked to the tea room.
In the tea room.
Before Master Shen arrived, the maid served steaming tea.
Jiang Rong sat quietly in the guest seat.
Shen Wenyuan noticed the sound of footsteps coming from outside the corridor, thinking it was his father coming.
Shen Wenyuan immediately said loudly:
"Jiang Rong, my father is an upright man and never shows favoritism. It's useless even if you come to my father to choose a good ranking for Chi Moyan!"
Taifu Shen walked to the door.
Hearing this, his brows darkened.
Shen Wenyuan glanced at Taifu Shen coming in from the corner of his eye, and continued to pretend not to know, with a heartbroken look on his face:
"People have been studying hard for more than ten years, and the imperial examination is the only way for them to get ahead! But you want to ruin the fairness of the imperial examination with just one sentence. Do you know how bad your behavior is!"
After saying that, he pretended to turn around casually and looked at Mr. Shen, "Hey, Dad, why are you here... It's all the son's fault. The son shouldn't reprimand Jiang Rong..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, looking aggrieved that he could only apologize despite being reasonable.
"Since you know that fairness in the imperial examination is the most important thing, how can you not know it, Miss Jiang?" Taifu Shen frowned tightly, hating Shen Wenyuan:
"Girl Jiang must not have come here just to learn how to do it. You didn't even ask her clearly, so you scolded her?"
Shen Wenyuan's face froze. He was so anxious to praise Taifu Shen and scold Jiang Rong just now...
"My son misunderstood..."
"What are you apologizing to me for? Apologize to Girl Jiang!" Taifu Shen said in a deep voice.
Shen Wenyuan was upset, but he could only look at Jiang Rong stiffly, "I misunderstood you...I'm sorry...I wonder what you are doing here today?"
He thought to himself, apart from being good at trying, what else could Jiang Rong do to find his father.
His father was really stupid and was deceived by Jiang Rong's appearance.
Jiang Rong glanced at him, looked at Taifu Shen, and said seriously:
"My uncle has been feeling cold recently and is feeling unwell. He always thinks that he suddenly became seriously ill and passed away, so he cannot witness his cousin getting married. I wonder if we can arrange the marriage between the two families as soon as possible so that my uncle can feel at ease and that he can get better soon. .”
Before Jiang Rong came to Shen's house, he made a special trip to Jiang's house to visit Jiang Qingrong.
She deliberately mentioned the Shen family in an insinuating way, and sure enough, Jiang Qingrong mentioned Jiang Wan's marriage to her.
Now the Shen family is becoming more and more powerful.
Jiang Qingrong was deeply afraid that Mrs. Shen would regret it and look down on his daughter, so he just wanted to marry Jiang Wan as soon as possible.
Jiang Rong must be asked to help find a solution.
Urging the Shen family.
Master Shen suddenly understood.
Jiang Qingrong hoped to get married as soon as possible, but it was not convenient for him to say so, so he asked Jiang Rong to urge him.
"Ri Wenyuan was busy with the imperial examination some time ago and couldn't take care of it for a while. Now that he is free, it's time to arrange the marriage of his two children." Taifu Shen agreed with a smile, looked at Jiang Rong and said:
"Girl Jiang, does she know of any auspicious days in the near future?"
"The first day of next month is an auspicious day." Jiang Rong said.
"Then it will be the first day of next month." Taifu Shen nodded, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Today I will go to Jiang's house to discuss the wedding date."
Shen Wenyuan didn't have time to say a word from beginning to end. His marriage had been clearly arranged.
He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Suddenly there was only half a month left before he would marry Jiang Wan.
hateful.
Jiang Rong, do you still want to drink wedding wine? You are waiting for a meal!
……
Shen Wenyuan naturally would not refuse on the surface, and went to Jiang's house with Taifu Shen to set a wedding date with a cooperative look on his face.
Jiang Qingrong was overjoyed.
After pretending to be sick to deal with Taifu Shen, he specially picked out a heavy gift for Jiang Rong.
He went to tell Jiang Wan again:
"Don't go out these days. Prepare for your marriage at home. As the wife of the Shen family, you also need help from your mother's family. If you have nothing to do, go and get close to Jiang Rong. She is now the Crown Princess of the North and can help you with a lot!"
Jiang Wan felt very guilty. She just poisoned Jiang Rong's cat two days ago...
Unfortunately, I heard that he was rescued.
She was very disappointed that she could not see Jiang Rong heartbroken.
Fortunately, there were so many people in Qingsong Mountain that day, and she didn't leave any clues. Jiang Rong thought she was afraid of cats and didn't dare to approach them, let alone think it was her.
Jiang Rong didn't know how many times she had been harmed by herself and her mother, but she knew nothing about it and still wanted to help her get married...
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan felt very happy again.
"Okay, I understand. Dad, just wait. When I get married, all the benefits of the Shen family will belong to us!" Jiang Wan's eyes were filled with greed.
Jiang Wan prepares to get married behind closed doors.
Shen Wenyuan couldn't find a chance to make a move for a while, so he could only take some risks and ask her out himself.
Jiang Qingrong was happy to see them develop a relationship.
So, the two of them went to Yingyue Lake to enjoy the lotus.
I heard that King Duan saved a woman who fell into the water some time ago, which inspired Shen Wenyuan.
water! This is good stuff.
……
Yingyue Lake, island in the middle of the lake.
Jiang Rong held Xue Tuan'er in his arms and sat in the elegant seat of the restaurant. Looking at the boats on the lake from a distance, my eyes felt cold.
"The boat has sunk! Look! A boat has sunk on the lake!" someone in the Western Zhou Dynasty exclaimed.
There is a painting boat on the lake, which seems to be sinking due to water leakage.
"Whose ship is this? Go and save people!"
"It's so far away, it's too late to swim over!"
Jiang Rong gently touched Xue Tuan'er's head and pursed her thin lips slightly.
