The beggar was extremely respectful, using every idiom he had ever learned in his life, thinking that if that wasn't enough, he would continue...
The regent raised an eyebrow.
Hey kid, you've got a way with words. "Stay!"
Everyone: ? ...
The beggar's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Regent. You are truly kind-hearted. No wonder Rui'an calls you his father."
The Regent: "Stay and have a drink at the wedding."
Overjoyed, the beggar, barely containing his excitement, said, "Thank you, Regent. I have never drunk wedding wine before in my entire life."
After the Regent finished speaking, as if remembering something, he grinned and turned his head to look at Ye Lanyin, who looked completely bewildered.
"Lanyin, it's a good omen that our marriage has received congratulations from sincere people. Why don't we let him stay?"
"You can stay in the house next door."
Upon hearing this, the beggar was so frightened that he quickly said, "No, no, Your Highness, I don't need to stay in such a luxurious place. I am classmates with Rui'an. How about we stay in Ping'an Prefecture?"
joke.
The Regent's Palace is so heavily guarded that even if he eats an extra piece of meat, the servants will remember it. If this goes on for a long time, won't he be exposed?
"Rui'an, don't you think so?" The beggar nudged Lin Rui'an, who was still in shock.
Lin Rui'an nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, that's right."
This person was clearly a beggar, but after changing clothes, he looked like a different person, and his behavior was nothing like that of a beggar.
What if he turns out to be a spy if he goes to the Regent's Palace?
"Mother, let him stay here. Let him leave after the wedding banquet."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The beggar excitedly echoed his sentiments.
Ye Lanyin smiled and nodded. "Since that's the case, let's stay here. Qian Shu is here too, so it'll be good to have someone to keep him company. Maybe I can even teach Qian Shu."
"Oh, right, your name is Shi Zai Ren?" Ye Lanyin asked curiously.
"Yes, my surname is Shi, the Shi of stone."
Ye Lanyin nodded, "I didn't expect you to be so amazing, actually getting first place."
"Should you send someone to inform your mother?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zairen immediately waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I live alone."
Where is your mother?
"I have no mother or father, I was born from a stone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin burst out laughing. "A stone popping out? How can a person pop out of a stone?"
Shi Zai Ren shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, I was adopted by an old monk. He told me that he found me by a rock and said all the time that I was born from a rock."
"So, your surname is Shi?" Lin Rui'an asked.
"That's right, I was born from a stone, so naturally I have to take the surname of a stone."
Oh ho, no parents, even worse off than me.
After overhearing Shi Zai Ren's thoughts, Ye Lan Yin felt even more sorry for him.
"It wasn't easy for you to pass the exam, and you didn't even have two people to share your joy with."
Shi Zairen: "Isn't this something I'm sharing with you?"
Ye Lanyin's face turned awkward, then she forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, look at what I'm saying. I just wanted to say that you must have suffered a lot in the past, and you probably studied by lamplight every day, right?"
What a pitiful child. He works so hard even without parents. He's so sensible.
Shi Zai Ren said somewhat embarrassedly, "I haven't read the book..."
Lin Rui'an was shocked.
Haven't you read the book?
You really haven't seen it?
Ye Lanyin was surprised, "It's already not easy to do so well without studying. Now that you've gotten first place, you might be the top scholar in the imperial examination the day after tomorrow, and you'll be promoted directly and have a family."
Shi Zai Ren raised both hands and said, “Madam, rest assured, if I really become an official, I will let you use the back door and I will definitely turn a blind eye.”
The Regent's lips twitched slightly.
Can you say that to his face? He's still here!!
"Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, fresh flowers quickly bloomed in the flower bed by the door, each one vibrant and beautiful.
The regent's mouth gaped open, his gaze piercing through the stone behind the man, watching as it sprouted branches, leaves, and then blossomed.
"How come these flowers in the back grow so fast?"
Having been reminded by the Regent, Hua Xin immediately said, "No way, I just planted this yesterday..."
"Ah, this...this..." Looking at the courtyard full of blooming flowers, Huaxin was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words. She covered her mouth in disbelief.
Hua Mei rushed out, but when she saw how tall the peanuts she had just bought from outside yesterday were, she was speechless.
Shi Zai Ren turned his head and was startled.
"Oh my goodness, Madam, your flowers are so beautiful, just like the Ping'an Prefecture, they are breathtakingly beautiful."
Lin Wanwan looked at him suspiciously. Why did he seem so familiar?
Is it Chiti?
Ye Lanyin walked into the flower bushes, looked at the pots full of flowers, and couldn't stop smiling.
"I've never seen such a beautiful flower before. Huaxin, what variety did you buy? How could it bloom overnight?"
Hua Xin replied woodenly, "I don't know."
She was puzzled, so she went to the store and bought some flowers. After all, the flowers in the yard needed to be changed every few days.
So, just like usual, let the shopkeeper have some money.
“The flowers are nice this time. Huaxin, have someone buy a few more and give some to Xi’er, Yu Rong, and Nianyu.”
"Yes, Madam." Hua Xin left with a belly full of questions.
Because Lin Rui'an came in second place, and the newly bought flowers in the yard had all bloomed, Ye Lanyin was in a good mood.
After exchanging a few words with Lin Rui'an about taking good care of the honest man, he then turned to the Regent.
The Regent was flattered and secretly added Seok Jae-in to the guest list in his mind.
It seems he was right to leave him behind today.
beggar?
It does not exist.
On the other side...
Lin Shixuan returned to the Marquis's residence looking dejected, only to hear the Marquis of Zhenbei asking about his exam results as soon as he stepped inside.
Originally, the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to go with him, but he was afraid that if he ran into his colleagues, Lin Shixuan would find out about his dismissal.
"Shixuan, how did it go? Did you pass the exam? Did you get first place?"
Lin Shixuan had just stepped halfway across the threshold when he turned his head and looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei with a sinister gaze.
"Get out of my way!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was startled and stepped aside. His gaze inadvertently fell on Zou Shuang'er, who was limping back behind Lin Shixuan.
So he walked up to her and asked, "Shuang'er, how did it go? Did you pass the exam?"
Zou Shuang'er held back her tears, but upon seeing the Marquis of Zhenbei, she could no longer contain herself and burst into tears, hugging him tightly.
“My lord, our son… failed the exam, but that bastard came in second place.”
"Waaaaah..."
Lin Shixuan was already short-tempered, and when he heard Zou Shuang'er mention Lin Rui'an's name again, he was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked the Marquis of Zhenbei hard.
"ah."
"careful."
Caught off guard by the kick, the Marquis of Zhenbei lost his footing and knocked Zou Shuang'er to the ground.
With a loud "bang," it slammed heavily onto the ground.
