Volume 2, Chapter 259: Catching a son-in-law under the list
Dongming Ziyu looked at it and saw that it was the man in the hall opposite him, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Nan. Seeing that your Yintang is red and beaming with joy, you must be on the list."
The man laughed and said, "No talent, two hundred and fifty."
Dongming Ziyu: "..."
Gu Lingyun put his arm around his shoulders and laughed loudly, "Hey, your two hundred and five and my three hundred are both wonderful! My name is Gu Lingyun, I don't know your surname?!"
The man said: "My surname is Meng, my given name is Bo, and my given name is Ziqian."
Gu Lingyun smiled and said: "Brother Ziqian, I wonder what my fourth uncle meant when he said he was brother Nan just now?"
Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "Brother Meng's exam room is right opposite me, and it has the same stinky name."
Gu Lingyun laughed again, as if this was so interesting.
Someone came to congratulate Zhou Xuanyi: "Congratulations to Zhou Xiandi! Congratulations to Zhou Xiandi! With Zhou Xiandi's character and talent, there is no need to be discouraged even though he is ranked second. What matters is the result after the imperial examination."
These words seemed to imply a provocation.
Dongming Ziyu didn't know this person. He didn't come to congratulate him or take the initiative to talk to him.
Indeed, except for Huiyuan, who is ranked first, everyone on the list is a tribute. Ranking is really not that important. The key lies in the palace examination that follows.
Gu Lingyun turned his eyes and smiled at Dongming Ziyu: "Fourth uncle, you have won five yuan in a row, you must celebrate it well!"
He was so arrogant and arrogant, as if he was the one who won five dollars in a row.
Dongming Ziyu: "..."
Many candidates look at Dongming Ziyu, with a complex look on his face, and are envious. He can win five yuan in a row. Not only does he have good knowledge, but he also has unparalleled luck.
Meng Ziqian asked: "I wonder if Dong Huiyuan is married? My little girl is only fourteen years old..."
"Hahahaha..." Gu Lingyun laughed, "Dong Huiyuan treats you as a brother in need, but you want to be his father-in-law. Isn't this too good of an advantage?"
Dongming Ziyu smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Meng, for your love. I am already over 10 years old, with a good wife by my side and two children."
Meng Ziqian's old face turned red, "I can't tell, I can't tell, you are too tender-faced!"
Although Dongming Ziyu is thirty, he has the space to nourish himself, take good care of himself, and grow well. He has not done farm work in the past few years, and his skin has become whiter. He looks like he is twenty-three or four, and looks better than Zhou Xuanyi.
She still looks young.
Gu Lingyun was a little unfair. He was not bad looking, he was not twenty years old, and he was not married yet. Why didn't anyone come to catch his son-in-law?
He whispered to Dongming Ziyu: "I told Auntie that someone wanted to marry you!"
Dongming Ziyu coughed lightly and said, "Go back quickly. The person who will announce the good news will be arriving at the house soon."
Those who have failed the list have already left, and the remaining ones are all those who are on the list. When everyone heard this, they all clasped their fists and said goodbye.
Dalang and Mint had already returned to the carriage. Shangguan Ruoli already knew the result and watched with bright eyes as he walked towards the sun in high spirits.
She smiled and saluted: "Congratulations, sir, on becoming a high school freshman."
Dalang and Mint also saluted: "Congratulations to Fourth Uncle (Fourth Master) for becoming a high school freshman."
Dongming Ziyu laughed, "Okay, let's go back."
After getting on the carriage, Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I took a closer look. Among the people who were selected, there are not many young ones, but you are handsome. Do you think the emperor will think that you are good-looking and you will be selected as the top candidate?"
"
Dongming Ziyu was silent, "That's not the case, Zhou Xuanyi is not bad looking, and he is three or four years younger than me."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "I heard that he is the second best. He wanted to touch you last time in Fengyue Pavilion. Now he is under you. Isn't he very dissatisfied?"
Dongming Ziyu snorted, "This is normal. The sons of officials and officials from this family have been taught by famous teachers since they were young and have enjoyed excellent resources. Now they are being suppressed by me, a kid from a poor peasant family. Of course they are not convinced.
"
If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person, unless you are so much better than others that you can be looked up to.
When Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli arrived home, people who had received the news had already come to congratulate them. Most of them were nearby neighbors, the Marquis Gu Mansion of Nan'an, and the Shangguan family sent capable stewards.
Dongming Ziyu, Wulang, Dalang, and Old Man Dong were waiting in the front yard to receive them, while Shangguan Ruoli returned to the backyard.
Mrs. Qian was taking Wu Wenhui with her, and Ling Yue was entertaining the neighbors. She was laughing so hard that her little voice could be seen.
Ling Yue came forward happily, "Mom! That's great! Dad won!"
Shangguan Ruoli took off his cloak, glanced at the happy old lady Qian, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't your mother cry with joy this time?"
In the past few exams, Mrs. Qian cried profusely, but today her eyes were not red or swollen at all.
Ling Yue smiled and said: "I didn't cry. I got up early and put on good clothes to meet guests. I have a lot of confidence in dad."
In order to get a good seat, I went to see the list too early, so the two elderly people and their children were not allowed to go.
Shangguan Ruoli helped send away a group of guests and sat down to rest.
Wu Wenhui poured a cup of ginger tea, "Fourth Aunt, drink some tea to warm yourself up."
Shangguan Ruoli took the ginger tea and asked, "Where's the young man?"
Wu Wenhui smiled and said: "She is asleep, like a little pig. She got up early and ate milk once, and then continued to sleep."
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Isn't a one-month-old child just eating and sleeping? You go and look at the child or bring him over. The official delivering the good news will come soon. They are going to set off firecrackers, so don't scare the child."
The good news should be announced from back to front, and it is estimated that the time is almost up.
The sound of gongs came from ahead, and Wu Wenhui hurriedly ran to the child's room. Immediately afterwards, the sound of lively firecrackers came.
Ling Yue peeled an orange for Shangguan Ruoli and asked curiously: "Mom, is there anyone who wants to catch your son-in-law today?"
Mrs. Qian was also curious, "In dramas, there is often a person who catches a son-in-law. Is it true?"
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Wulang's father was almost brought home as his son-in-law!"
"What?!" Mrs. Qian stared in surprise, then clapped her hands and laughed, "Oh, our four sons are very talented, a bit more handsome than the handsome young man in the play, and it's not easy to be favored by others.
Weird. Hahaha..."
Suddenly her laughter stopped abruptly, her face suddenly became serious, as if a disaster was approaching, and she said: "Oh, in the play, the princess fell in love with the number one scholar, and forced him to abandon his useless wife and marry her. The emperor has no conscience.
, and actually turned towards his daughter!
What should I do if my fourth son is attracted by the princess? No, no, I can’t afford to take care of the princess. Sooner or later, her mother-in-law and father-in-law will pay her respects. Isn’t this the other way around? I definitely disagree!"
Shangguan Ruoli said quietly: "Mother, you think too much."
I am so confident about her son that I want to be the mother-in-law of the princess.
Mrs. Qian felt that she had made a mistake, so she quickly grabbed Shangguan Ruoli's hand and patted it, saying: "Wu Lang, don't worry, mother, you are my mother. We don't have such a wolf-hearted person in our family!"
Shangguan Ruoli: "..."
Is this too deep into the drama?
