Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 285: Beauty Critical Attack

Chapter 285: Beauty Critical Attack

Ying Zhilin pushed Song Qu’s claws away and said, “What are you talking about, you stinky mouth!

Whose wife is so beautiful?

Whose wife is both beautiful and rich?

Whose wife is as gentle and lovely as Wen Yan?

You should know the three questions of Lin’s soul.

Song Qu: "..."

The other classmates all stepped back and waved their hands, indicating that they had nothing to do with Song Qu.

Song Qu glared at them and gritted his teeth: "Good job!"

He turned around and tried to slip away, but Ying Zhilin grabbed his wrist and gently pulled him back.

Ying Zhilin stared at Song Qu: "Apologize."

Song Qu blinked his eyes: "Who are you apologizing to?"

"Of course I'm apologizing to Wen Yan. You just said she was your wife."

"Huh?!" Asking him to apologize for the four words 'wife of the hardships'?

"Zaokangzhiqi (a wife who has been with me through thick and thin) is used to describe a wife who has shared my joys and sorrows. Wen Yan has always supported me and has never let me suffer."

Song Qu felt that Ying Zhilin was covered with a layer of holy light.

He first solemnly apologized to Wen Yan, then knocked on Ying Zhilin's head and asked, "Have you grown a new brain?"

"What new idea?" the classmates asked in a cheering manner.

Song Qu: "Of course it's love-brained!"

Everyone laughed and ran away.

Ying Zhilin immediately chased after them, "Stop right there and see how I deal with you."

"Are we stupid? How could we just stop when we knew we were going to get punished?"

Ying Zhilin was playing with his classmates when the classmate who was running in front suddenly stopped and bumped into each other.

Ying Zhilin took advantage of the situation to catch the culprit Song Qu. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wen Yan coming back from the door and looking at him with a smile.

Didn't she see all the childish playfulness I was doing just now?

Ying Zhilin's cheeks were burning hot: "Why are you back?"

Wen Yan handed a bundle to him, "Aren't you going to attend the Luming Feast tonight? I prepared a set of clothes for you, but I forgot to give it to you just now."

Ying Zhilin reached out to take it, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should say thank you.

"You are little, so it's normal for you to play and fight like this." Wen Yan stood on tiptoe, patted his head, said goodbye and left.

Ying Zhilin's face turned red all of a sudden.

It felt like Wen Yan treated me like a child!

He felt as if he had eaten a dried plum, which was both sweet and sour.

Song Qu patted his head and imitated Wen Yan's appearance and tone: "Zhilin is still a baby, it's normal for him to play around like this!"

Ying Zhilin was annoyed: "...Song Qu, I'm going to bite you!"

The Lu Ming Banquet was a banquet held by local officials for newly-appointed scholars to celebrate their success in the imperial examinations.

The Lu Ming Banquet in the capital is usually held in the Imperial College.

In addition to the prefect of the capital, the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites will also send people to participate.

Therefore, when the sun sets, the entrance of the Imperial College becomes lively.

In addition to the students who attended the banquet, there were also many people who came to join in the fun out of curiosity.

"I wonder what this new champion who suddenly appeared looks like? Is he old or young, handsome or ugly?"

"Haven't you heard? This newly crowned champion is the country-dwelling husband of the second daughter of the Wen family. It's said he's very handsome."

When Huo Yaoxing got on the carriage, he heard these discussions.

His expression remained unchanged as he greeted his friends and classmates.

After his rebirth, he was not idle. He went to banquets everywhere and made many friends, all of whom were likely to pass the imperial examination next year and would be beneficial to his future career.

suddenly.

Someone in the crowd pointed at Huo Yaoxing and said, "Look, he's the Huo family's eldest son! He came in sixth place this time, quite impressive."

"So what if he's good at studying?" His companion shook his head in disapproval. "Don't be fooled by his elegant and bright appearance. He's actually narrow-minded.

He clearly regretted the engagement, but he couldn't bear to see Miss Wen living a good life.

So he deliberately sent people to destroy Ying Xiucai."

Those people were not shy about it.

These words fell into the ears of Huo Yaoxing and his friends word for word.

Huo Yaoxing's expression suddenly changed.

His classmates were very embarrassed and tried to comfort him, saying, "These are just nonsense from ordinary people who have never seen the world. They don't know the inside story and are easily deceived. Don't take it to heart."

Just ignore what they say."

Huo Yaoxing's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed in a pretentious manner, his voice filled with helplessness and grievance: "I didn't even know when I had an affair with that Second Miss Wen.

We only met twice in total, and spent less than a quarter of an hour together.

You may think I'm cold-blooded, but Miss Wen Er and I are just like strangers who met by chance. I don't have any personal feelings for her.

As for marriage, I have always followed my parents' arrangements. No matter who they let me marry, I will always respect and love her as my wife."

"As for this year's champion, why should I lower myself to embarrass him?

Even if I bring him down, I won't be the top scorer.

I'd be a fool to wade into this mess.

It’s all my fault that my servant loves gossip.

Seeing the people from the old Ying family crying pitifully, he became soft-hearted and went up to them and gave them blind orders.

Before he went to court, he didn't even know the relationship between Ying Jieyuan, Miss Wen Er, and me."

Huo Yaoxing gave a brief explanation.

His friend chimed in, "If they really wanted to harm someone, why would they send their personal servant? Are they afraid they won't find out about it themselves?"

“Besides, you are the heir of a marquisate, and Ying Jieyuan is a farmer and scholar. Even if he passes the Jieyuan exam and works hard his whole life, he probably won’t be able to catch up to one-tenth of you.

Brother Huo was actually inferior to him."

"Brother Huo, this is an unprovoked disaster for you."

Several people sang in unison, and regardless of whether the passers-by believed it or not, most of them, the scholars, had already believed it.

Huo Yaoxing's expression looked better.

They were preparing to enter the Imperial College.

Then I heard hearty laughter coming from the street.

Huo Yaoxing and the others couldn't help but look over.

Several people dressed as scholars came against the setting sun.

Their clothes are fluttering, their words and actions are cheerful, and they make people feel friendly.

From time to time.

The group walked to the gate of the Imperial College.

Only then did everyone see their faces clearly.

They have different appearances, some are handsome, some are plain-looking, but the only thing that remains unchanged is their elegant temperament and calm and wise eyes.

Only the leader was born with bright eyebrows and bright eyes, tall and straight, with both the literary temperament of a scholar and the momentum of a Confucian general.

He was wearing a cyan jacquard gown, which was exquisite yet low-key.

Even Huo Yaoxing couldn't help but look at him again and again.

Encouraged by his friends, he was about to go forward and make some friends.

As he took a step forward, he heard Qi Yunzhou, who was not far away, say to his fellow townsman, "See? The most handsome one is this year's champion, Ying Zhilin."

"Let's go over there and introduce them to you." Qi Yunzhou pulled his fellow villager and went to meet them.

Huo Yaoxing stretched out his foot and suddenly retracted it.

Huo Yaoxing, who was struck by the beauty, couldn't believe that this person was Ying Zhilin!

He was nothing like the peasant he had imagined!
