Wang Shuo was amused by Chen Liu's sudden words and waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with these things. If you have the time to inquire about them, you might as well get a good job."

Chen Liu put his shoulders on Wang Shuo and laughed indifferently. "Don't say this anymore. Hey, you don't know. I could pass the provincial examination last year and burn the incense. Now, how comfortable it is! I don't look like you, and I have my brother on my back, so I don't need me!"

Wang Shuo shook his head and did not persuade him anymore. He took the whip from the servant and rode his horse to the city gate.

On this day, three Jinshis from the first and first places started to circle the capital from the city gate. Microscopic people filled the streets, and many young girls also came to make fun of them. From time to time, they smashed purses, handkerchiefs and other objects on the heads of the three people. Of course, Chen Xu and Wang Shuo were the two of them. As for the top scholar Xu Chengshan, the ones they received were green fruits, vegetable leaves.

After the tour, the three of them got off the street from the horse and discussed it to take a break here. Xu Chengshan was covered with rotten vegetable leaves on his head, and let the servant come up to tidy up his clothes with helpless expressions. He spread his hands and complained to Wang Shuo and Chen Xu: "I don't know who is promising the rules. I am old, but I am parading with you young people. Not to mention that I am embarrassed, I have to have such rotten vegetable leaves. It's a big loss!"

Xu Chengshan was a young man, but he was not very old, and he was in his thirties. However, his face looked old and had a beard. Those who didn't know were afraid that he would mistake him for an old man who was nearly fifty years old.

To put it in detail, according to generation, Xu Chengshan is one generation higher than Wang Shuo and the other two. It is not an exaggeration to call him Uncle Shi. But according to the practice of the imperial examination, the three of them are considered to be the same generation.

Wang Shuo thought for a moment and stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "Sir, are you kidding! This dynasty who won the top scorer in his thirties is the number one person. There are so many people on the street today, but there are many people coming for him!"

"Why call me sir? I'm older than you, and I'm so proud today. If you like Xu, you'll call me brother." Xu Chengshan patted his chest, his beard trembling with a smile.

Wang Shuo and Chen Xu were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and quickly bowed down and called "Brother Xu".

Xu Chengshan laughed, helped the two of them up, threw the horse to the servant, and strode into the building. He found an empty table, and sat on the stool with his legs raised invisibly. "The second brother brought two pots of peach blossom wine."

Because of the new first-class parade, Lanyuelou had been on the road for a long time. As soon as the waiter opened the door, he saw these three noble men who were now in the limelight, and hurriedly ran upstairs to report to the shopkeeper. Manager Zhong was so happy that he had already come out. Seeing Xu Chengshan calling for wine, Manager Zhong ordered his younger brother to go and get the wine. He bent down to salute the three of them and smiled respectfully: "Today is a good day. Are the three adults going to sit in the private room upstairs?"

Xu Chengshan was about to refuse, but Manager Zhong added at the right time: "The three nobles can come today, and the small shop is full of brightness, and the young ones dare not collect any more wine. Please don't dislike you, three of you. The scenery upstairs is beautiful and no one can disturb you. Please..."

Xu Chengshan stood up while yawning, patted Manager Zhong's shoulder and praised: "You are a good shopkeeper, but you just have to pay for the wine. After all, you are opening the door to do business. Just count less for us." As he said that, he asked Wang Shuo and Chen Xu, "Two brothers, why don't we go upstairs and talk?"

Wang Shuo and Chen Xu looked at each other, and both of them felt helpless. This uncle Shi, no, is Brother Xu, how could he look like a scholar? It's similar to a person who runs in the world!

Xu Chengshan pulled Wang Shuo and the others to chat around the world. He stretched his waist until the sun was about to set and smiled embarrassedly at Wang Shuo and the others. "It's too late today, let's go away first?"

Wang Shuo bowed to Xu Chengshan, nodded in agreement, "Brother Xu has extraordinary experience. I have benefited a lot today. Let's continue again. Brother Xu first ask-"

Chen Xu also bowed and said, "Brother Xu."

Xu Chengshan smiled and replied, and took a big step out of the door.

Wang Shuo and Chen Xu both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed out loud.

"It's really a blessing for Wang to meet Brother Chen today."

"I dare not take it! Brother Wang is extremely talented and admires it very much." Chen Xu smiled gently and bowed and returned the greeting.

The two of them resigned at the entrance of Lanyue Tower and then left.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, Mrs. Xiao stretched her neck and waited for a long time, and finally waited for her son back. She ordered her servants to set up a meal. She smiled and asked with concern: "Are you tired of going out today? Are you hungry? Why don't you go to wash up first..."

Wang Shuo accompanied Mrs. Xiao for a while, went back to the room and quickly washed and changed clothes, went to the old lady Wang's house, and then returned to the main courtyard hall to have dinner with Mrs. Xiao. The mother and son sat opposite each other, drinking tea while talking.

"You have lost weight these days. Are the servants in the house well?" Mrs. Xiao looked at her son lovingly and asked with a frown.

"It's all good, mother doesn't have to worry." Wang Shuo replied with a smile.

"The two big girls around you have served you for two or three years, right? That Qingqiao is pretty good-looking. What do you think?" Mrs. Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked slowly at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo was stunned and then realized. "Mother also knew that I never cared about the girls in the house, just do my duty. However, Qingqiao and Yuwen have served me for so many years. When my mother said this, I remembered something and asked her to ask her."

Mrs. Xiao put down the tea bowl, raised her eyebrows, and smiled and said, "What do you want to ask for? Say if you have something to do."

Wang Shuo sat forward and naturally reached out to pinch his shoulders for Mrs. Xiao. "Qingqiao and the others are old, so they can serve me. Since my mother mentioned it, I just beg my mother to see if there are any suitable families and let them marry. Even if there are other families outside, it doesn't matter. My son will have a crush on his mother and return the contract to them."

The smile on Mrs. Xiao's face froze, then she looked down, pulled Wang Shuo and said in a deep voice: "Wulang, tell me clearly, are you going to send the people in the house for the sake of the girl in the Lin family?"

Wang Shuo smiled bitterly, but the smile on his face became even stronger, with a little disagreement in his eyes, and sighed: "Where did my mother think about it? The Lin family's marriage has just appeared. You say this, but it seems that my son is disrespectful and the reputation of a bad girl. I just think that the girl in the house is bigger, and it is always a master and servant. There is no credit and hard work. Since my mother mentioned it, she will ask you for personal favors. If my mother doesn't like it, the two girls will continue to stay. I don't care much about the affairs in the house."

Mrs. Xiao frowned and looked at Wang Shuo for a while, then sighed helplessly, and did not mention the room again, but she still had a knot in her heart. Her son is now protecting his wife like this, and he has to clean up the people in the room before entering the door. If in the future... Goro will be the head of the Wang family, he can't spoil his wife too much!

In the Yimei Courtyard of Chong'an Hou Mansion, Liu has been smiling since he received the letter in the morning. He was in a very good mood and asked his subordinates to collect the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters hidden in the study, put them apart one by one, and pulled Lin Wan to carefully pick them up, saying that he would send them to the Wang family as a gift. After looking at them, Liu couldn't help laughing again when he thought of Lin Wan's words.

"That's a piece of hand, you can take it out!"

Lin Wan suppressed his annoyance and held Liu's arm and smiled and replied, "Why can't you show it? I've practiced for so many years, but I can still read the handwriting."

Liu pinched Lin Wan's nose and said anger, then pointed to the newly dug-out calligraphy and paintings in the corner and asked whether it was good or bad. After discussing for a long time, the mother and daughter finally picked up a pair of characters from Wei Wen of the previous dynasty and a red plum picture of a poetic painting master. They asked someone to pack it and prepare to send it to the Wang family.

Mrs. Liu saw that the person had put away the things, and then ordered the girl to set up food.

During the meal, Liu seemed to remember something and blinked at Lin Wan. "My marriage with the Wang family, since you nodded yourself, you should still have the thoughts. If you don't have a good job of embroidery, just learn to cook. Don't be too particular. Just learn some home-cooked dishes and soup making. There will always be benefits for couples to get along with each other in the future."

Lin Wan whispered the rice from the bowl and said "um". After thinking about the marriage of the Wang family for so many days, she still nodded. Needless to say, Wang Shuo herself, she had to get engaged quickly to avoid the Lu family. Alas, to put it in detail, which family in the capital has nothing to do with any bad things? There were rumors that she had bad fortune before... After all, would she still take the path that women in this world would take?

The next day, Lin Wan got up early and went to Liu's place to have breakfast. After talking for a while, she thought about it and felt that she would still go to Cishou Temple to talk to Jiwu. Although this old monk likes to practice Tai Chi, she can always be less concerned when talking to him. She always has to find someone to talk to her.

As a result, the old lady had just gotten into the carriage, and Lian Qiao outside stumbled and ran in with horror. She grabbed Lin Wan, widened her eyes, opened her mouth wide, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Wan's face darkened and she frowned and said, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

"It's the Wang family!" Lian Qiao's face turned red, she stomped her feet in a hurry, and she pulled her hair and said tremblingly, "The imperial edict gave the marriage, the Wang family and the Yuan family have spread all over the outside... It's the imperial edict given the marriage!"

Lin Wan said in his mind, and his heart also sank, but his face was extremely calm. He grabbed Lian Qiao and comforted him: "Tell me well, the emperor has given the marriage to the Wang family and the Yuan family? Is it Wang Wu Ge?"

Lian Qiao had red eyes, her face was anxious, angry and worried. She took a deep breath and nodded and replied: "It's Wang Wuye. It spread inside and outside the capital early this morning. The emperor gave Tanhualang a marriage early in the morning. It was such a big situation. The woman was a girl from the Yuan family."

Lin Wan's mind was blank for a moment, and then a sense of powerlessness rose from the soles of her feet. She reached out and grabbed Lian Qiao, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "This is also rumored outside. You can find out clearly... If it is... it is also fate but no separation... it is good..."
