Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Seeing Yang Jiyan's face becoming increasingly grim, Chen Guan smiled and said, "It is true that Mr. Yu is chaste, but he has never married. His sister is a female doctor, so we are acquainted."
Liu Miwu nodded and smiled softly, "The Spring Examination is coming soon. I think Mr. Yu is very talented and will definitely be on the list this time."
Yang Jiyan's expression eased a little, and he didn't agree with Liu Miwu's words in his heart. He was not only on the list, but also the top scorer in the palace examination chosen by the emperor himself. He would be the emperor's close minister in the future. How could anyone else compare to him?
Chen Wan also joked, "When the results are announced, I wonder how many masters and mistresses will go to the list to find a son-in-law."
"That's right. The number one and number two candidates in the imperial examination will ride on tall horses and parade through the streets. I'm afraid that fruits will be thrown onto the carriages. It will be so lively!" Liu Miwu said with a smile.
When the results were announced in her previous life, Yang Jiyan was having a hot affair with Zhou Yun. The two families were very satisfied with the matchmaking introduced by Aunt Baojun. Zhou Yun also disguised himself very well, and asked her out to play. He was attentive and considerate, and she was immersed in his tenderness and affection, and did not pay any attention to the affairs of the imperial examination. Later, after she married Zhou Yun, she heard from other people's words that the new top scholar Yu Qizhe was from a small place and that a child from a poor family had risen to a high position.
Yang Jiyan clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Before the results were announced, she had to find a way to tie Yu Qizhe tightly.
Her origins were not inconspicuous in a place like the capital where there were many noble ladies.
When Yu Qizhe becomes prominent in officialdom, no matter how much she wants to help, she will not be able to exert her strength.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Yang Jiyan could no longer sit still. She said, "Miss Miwu, I am in a hurry to deliver a letter to Master Yu. I am sorry for disturbing you today. Sister Wan and I will come to Xinglou to play another day."
"Okay, letters from home are more important, so Miwu won't keep you two any longer." Liu Miwu stood up and said to them.
Yang Jiyan and Chen Guan left Xinglou and got on the carriage. Yang Jiyan then told the servant to drive to Kanjing Hutong.
Chen Guan didn't expect Yang Jiyan to be so anxious. Her upbringing made her feel that this was extremely inappropriate. How could a girl go to look for a man outside her family? What Yan Jie'er did was considered private.
"Sister Yan, are you going to look for Yu Qizhe right now?"
Yang Jiyan nodded. She looked at Chen Wan with a fragile look on her face and said, "Sister Wan, can you accompany me? You heard that Liu Miwu admired him in every way. If another woman takes advantage of the situation, what should I do?"
Chen Wan was looked at by her with such eyes, and for a moment she couldn't bear to refuse. She sighed softly, "Why are you doing this? Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. Since Mr. Yu has already been engaged in the countryside, you are still so ignorant. If the girl knew about it, how sad would she be?"
Chen Guan felt that he should not have been so soft-hearted before, and agreed to help Yan Jie'er find out where Yu Qizhe lived.
"I can't care about so much anymore." Yang Jiyan retracted her gaze and looked at the swinging curtain, with a hint of stubbornness in her expression, "I must marry him in this life."
Seeing this, Shen Guan didn't know how to persuade him.
Yang Jiyan went to hold Chen Wan's hand and said softly and coquettishly, "Sister Wan, please help me. When you have a lover in the future, you will understand how anxious I feel right now."
Chen Wan didn't say anything for a long time before looking at Yang Jiyan and saying, "Sister Yan, although I don't know what it feels like to love someone, Miss Mi Wu also said that Mr. Yu has tacitly accepted that he has a wife. Obviously, he already has someone in his heart. A forced melon is not sweet. If you cling to him like this, you will end up hurting yourself."
