"How come my uncle has accepted two apprentices from a small place? Although one has won the Huiyuan, the other has not been on the list. I heard that my family has been a pawnbroker for generations. They are called officials, but they have never been to the official list.

Official career, what kind of person do you think you are?"

"Then at least the family still has some foundation. The one who won the Huiyuan was born with mud legs. I heard that there are no elders in the family and there are several nephews to support. Fortunately, he can still marry a wife."

"Did you not see it just now? That Luo Huiyuan has a good face, and his wife is also very good-looking. They look quite good together. If they don't get married, there is a possibility that they will be picked up as a son-in-law by any family this time."

"Now that I have my great uncle as my back, my career is going smoothly. I don't know how I got my uncle to fall in love with me."

…

Chen Xiuyan originally planned to go to the clean room, but she heard some ladies from Zheng Guogong's mansion gossiping about her, but they were all telling the truth. She listened for a few times and then walked away, so she didn't hear them being scolded next.

words.

"Shut up, everyone."

Three young ladies from the Yuan family of Duke Zheng's residence were suddenly scolded harshly by someone who was still familiar with Duke Zhen's wife. The person supporting them was the Crown Prince's wife.

"Grandma, mother." Miss Yuan Er and Miss Yuan Wu stood up and saluted, a little timidly.

Miss Yuan Si was the direct descendant of Zheng Guogong's wife, so she stuck out her tongue and walked over to hold her grandmother's hand and said coquettishly, "Grandma, mother, did we say something wrong?"

"From now on, when you treat Wen Qian and Xiuyan, you must treat them as your brothers and sisters-in-law. If you let me hear you talking about people behind their backs again, otherwise you will kneel in the ancestral hall." Mrs. Zheng Guogong's eyes were sharp and her words were stern. She was almost frightened.

A small company claimed to be.

Mrs. Zheng Guogong asked her personal maid to help her leave. Mrs. Shizi stayed and gave a few more words of instruction. Miss Yuan Si finally followed her mother, "Mom, why is grandma so angry? We were right."

"Don't ask too many questions. Listen to your grandmother and be kind to others."

Mrs. Shizi knew the truth. The aunt who had not been heard from for twenty years suddenly sent a letter back, telling her to take good care of Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan when they came to Beijing. Her mother-in-law was related to her aunt, and they were both girls.

When they were young, they were close friends, not to mention that the person sitting in that position now was his biological son. Of course, the entire Zheng Guogong Palace stood behind him.

However, these words are a secret and cannot be told to a few young people. The only people in the mansion who know about it are Zheng Guogong, the Duke's wife, the prince, the prince's wife, and the prince's consort Yuan Chongming, who has been separated from the palace.

The members of the family had a meal together and went home happily. Chen Xiuyan also saw the wedding gifts. They were all very expensive. The gifts for herself were all jewelry. For Luo Wenqian, there were the four treasures of the study and jade pendants and other decorations worn by men.

The same thing happened to Wang Yajie.

On March 18th, the Chuanlu Ceremony was sung twice by three people in the first class, and all the candidates heard it. Luo Wenqian was the top scholar in high school, Tao Qianze was voted second, Ning Youjin was ranked third, and Yan An was the top candidate in the second class.

He, the second-level Jinshi and ninety-five people, the third-level Jinshi, one hundred and ninety-eight people.

The Jinshi Parade was on Zhengyangmen Street coming out of Zhengyangmen. Chen Xiuyan followed Mr. Tao to the Shangweizhai on the street early in the morning. This was the best place to watch the parade. Mr. Tao's status meant that he had the elegance of being close to the street.

During this time, people from the Zhenguo Government Office also came together.

A group of three people rode horses and marched forward with smiles amidst the cheers of the people on both sides. Luo Wenqian and Tao Qianze were relatively older and had been married. Sixteen-year-old Ning Youjin was handsome but still young.

, most of the flowers thrown over were for him.

Chen Xiuyan stood by the window and looked at Luo Wenqian, who was riding in the front, with bright eyes. The man she had chosen was really powerful. He had won the third prize and had stolen all the limelight from the original male lead.

As if he had a telepathic connection, Luo Wenqian's unsquinting eyes turned to the right, just in time to meet Chen Xiuyan's smiling eyes. His originally stern face suddenly burst into a smile as if encountering the warm spring sun. There were gasps all around, and then the flowers

They were all thrown at Luo Wenqian.

Chen Xiuyan smiled and took out what she had prepared. She raised her hand and threw it, and it fell firmly into Luo Wenqian's hand. Luo Wenqian smiled and put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed. The two showed off their affection in broad daylight.

"Which family is this year's top pick?" Su Xinbo's family happened to be sitting in the private room downstairs where Chen Xiuyan was. Mrs. Su Xinbo asked looking at Luo Wenqian who had just glanced over.

"She seems to be from a poor family." Mrs. Hu, the second wife, replied.

"But it seems that she was taken into the family by Tao Taifu." Mrs. Bai's natal uncle is in the General Affairs Department and a close minister of the emperor. He was just promoted this year, and her status in the uncle's house has also risen with the tide.

Here, Chen Xiuyan might recognize that the two girls sitting next to Ning were Miss Xiao Wu and Miss Xiao Qi from Su Xinbo's Mansion who snatched the ring from her last time.

Hearing that the Number One Scholar was the new disciple of the Grand Tutor, the two young ladies looked over and took a closer look. They were instantly amazed by each other's appearance. They thought of the little woman who was protected by Pei Liu before, and wondered if this was the case.

She is a beautiful woman, but the voice in her heart instantly denied that it was impossible for such a good man to fall in love with that woman.

"Being from a poor family has its advantages. In the future, you should not rely on your father-in-law's family to inquire. If your character is good, tell Yayan." Mrs. Su Xinbo said.

"Mother, you have said that there are benefits, so how can we let someone with a foreign surname take over? Qingying and we haven't discussed marriage yet. She is a month older than Yayan." Bai said with a smile on her lips.

His words did not save Mrs. Su Xinbo any face.

Fang Yayan lowered her head to hide the coldness in her eyes. Ever since she came to her aunt's house, her third aunt had always looked down on her. She secretly said that she came to visit her to catch the autumn wind. It was fine before. She only said behind her back that since her uncle was promoted to a high official.

Finally, I didn’t let it go on the face either.

Mrs. Su Xinbo suppressed her anger, after all, the position of her eldest grandson still needed to be planned by the Bai family.

After the parade, people in the private room left one after another. Before Fang Yayan left, she went to the clean room and stopped when she heard the conversation inside.

Xiao Qingying and Xiao Qingman were chatting about the first three people they had just seen while walking down the street, and naturally they also talked about their holiday with Chen Xiuyan.

"Fifth sister, according to the relationship between that little woman and Pei Liu, she will definitely attend the flower viewing party in two days. We have to find a way to make her look embarrassed. How can we, a lady in the capital, make a fool of a young woman with mud legs?"

You can't bully someone." Xiao Qingman had a bad idea.

"Look again, that little woman is not easy to bully. She can also use some skills to make sure we end up embarrassing ourselves." Xiao Qingying said with a slight frown.

"Fifth sister, don't worry, I will make arrangements." Xiao Qingman said regardless.

Fang Yayan listened for a few times, and left for another place instead of entering the clean room. A plot came to her mind, she was going to catch the cicada with a mantis and an oriole behind her.
