Chapter 250 Is He a Good Match?
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Huh? The first person to eat free food?! Even more excessive than the second prince? ]
Everyone was also alert: What?! He is more capable of causing trouble than the Second Prince?! He must be sent to the neighboring country immediately!
The system suddenly jammed and paused: [Ah, this... I didn't include the second prince in the ranking. Considering how he caused a lot of trouble in Shu, this weak scholar can only be ranked second at most! ]
The onlookers heaved a sigh of relief, and Yuanruan's tone softened: [Oh, then tell me how he is such a freeloader? ]
System: [This man thinks he is extremely talented, but he has no chance to be recognized by the emperor because of his ordinary family background. Didn't your brother announce to the world that he would start the imperial examination? He thought his chance had come, so he came to the capital with a few friends. He actively participated in activities such as book clubs, and then his talent was noticed by Miss Lin. He hesitated for a while, and took the initiative to approach Miss Lin half-heartedly.]
Yuanruan was very sensitive and could hear the hidden message: [Why did he approach Miss Lin half-heartedly? What's the hidden story? Could it be that... he had a partner before?]
The officials looked at each other. They also had this guess: after all, it was not uncommon for civilian officials to abandon their wives and children once they gained power.
System: [Aruan is really smart. He already has a wife and daughter in his hometown.]
Yuanruan showed a look of disgust.
The system continued: [This man wanted to take a shortcut, but the books he had read taught him that this was immoral, so after hooking up with Miss Lin, in order to get rid of his self-blame and guilt, he transferred this "immorality" to Miss Lin, thinking that it was Miss Lin who seduced him and caused him to do something wrong. So a year later, this man often showed a bad face to Miss Lin, lost his temper, and even used cold violence in the later stage.]
The bachelor's face turned completely black and his fists were clenched tightly.
Yuanruan's mind was full of question marks: [Ah? Is he okay? I want to take shortcuts and keep my self-esteem at the same time. How can such a good thing be possible? ]
System: [You want both. Especially for this kind of sensitive and talented person, his ideas are particularly weird and extreme. For example, although this man is good at poetry and singing, he is not good at agricultural science and engineering. So in the first imperial examination, he did not even pass the preliminary selection. But guess what, he actually thought that the university scholar disliked him and deliberately did not admit him. ]
Everyone: ???
Yuan Ruan: [Is he okay? Let’s not talk about the fact that the university master has no control over the science. Let’s just talk about this man. He is not good enough, so he blames others?]
System: [Yes. It is very strange. Later, he married Miss Lin. The Grand Master was upset and recommended him a ninth-rank official. Guess what, he was not grateful, but resented the Grand Master even more.]
Yuanruan: [Ah? Why? ]
The onlookers were also shocked: Not knowing how to be grateful, but resentful? What kind of ungrateful person is this?
System: [Because he felt that his colleagues and superiors did not appreciate him, all because they were instigated and threatened by the Grand Scholar. Because the Grand Scholar looked down on his background, he suppressed him, causing his career to be unsuccessful.]
The bachelor was so shocked by this train of thought that he took a step back: ...
Yuan Ruan was shocked and showed an expression: [Is this big brother okay? Does he really have a brain? ]
System: [In fact, he knew that he was unreasonable at the beginning, but people become self-hypnotized after a long period of resentment. Anyway, he believed from the bottom of his heart that he was forced into marriage by Miss Lin and was oppressed and controlled by his father-in-law. So within ten years of marriage, he took in countless concubines, treated his wife coldly and violently, and favored other concubines.]
Yuanruan: […So low. ]
The university scholar was so furious when he heard this.
If he hadn't thought of the emperor's confidentiality agreement, he would have rushed directly to Yuan Ruan and begged her to help him break up the evil fate as soon as possible.
But now...
He could only rush to the Crown Prince and bow deeply, saying, "Your Highness, I know that you have a secret intelligence network. This man is from another place, and I don't know his character. I beg Your Highness to give me some advice. Let's end this evil relationship."
Prince: ...
Miss Lin was a little surprised when she heard this, and stamped her feet awkwardly: "Father, does my daughter look like someone who doesn't know people well?"
The Grand Master had a blank expression on his face and said firmly, "Yes."
Miss Lin: ...
The elegant scholar's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly tilted his head slightly, revealing a resolute look: "Although my family is poor, I have great ambitions and I think I am more suitable for Miss Lin than some of the rich young men in the capital. I also want to say, things may change over time, don't look down on young people who are poor..."
Miss Lin's expression softened.
System: [Pfft. Do the second generation prefer this kind of "strong and unyielding poor little white flower?"]
Second, civil officials/military generals: ...No, no, no.
After the elegant scholar expressed his views on young people not to be underestimated, he looked at the woman with a confused expression and said in a cold voice, "But I also know etiquette. If Lin's father really doesn't allow it, then I..."
The woman's originally gentle expression suddenly changed.
Her eyes were like knives stabbing at the elegant scholar: "Wen! Zhi! Li! Dare you give up and try!"
Wen Zhili was choked up for a moment: ...
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft! ...After ten years of a frustrating marriage, I thought this young lady had a soft temper, but I didn't expect...she's quite fierce.]
System: [Daxia people are tough, Miss Lin has been spoiled since she was young, and when she gets angry, she will hit Wen Zhili. Let me see the melon... Oh, it's written here, Miss Lin spent a lot of effort to get married, but the result is a mess. On the one hand, she has a high self-esteem and doesn't want to be laughed at by divorce. On the other hand, she has a closed heart and locks her love for men. She thinks that she can't find a good one even if she divorces, so it's better to live like this. Anyway, Wen Zhili can only hurt her verbally. Finally, she thinks that this may be God's punishment for her "not listening to her parents." 】
The bachelor looked at Miss Lin with pity, "Silly child, how could God harm a child on behalf of the parents? It's too late to protect her."
At the same time, he could hardly hold back and waved his fist at Wen Zhili.
Yuanruan was also speechless: [What a huge pile of garbage. You can try to pick up something like this. ]
Yuan Ruan said to the Grand Scholar, "What do you want, Prince, brother?"
The Grand Scholar was overjoyed and bowed to Yuan Ruan very reverently, saying very quickly, "Grand Master, may I ask if this man is a good match for my daughter?"
System: [Good question! Straight to the point!]
Yuan Ruan thought so too. She took out her turtle shell, pretended to rustle it, and then looked at the woman firmly: "No."
The Grand Master said excitedly, "Look! My daughter, what did I say? He is not a good match. Even the Imperial Master said he is not a good match."
Miss Lin was stunned. She wanted to refute, but the one who said this was the Imperial Master. Who doesn’t admire the Imperial Master of Daxia!
She was silent.
Seeing this, Wen Zhili was a little unsettled and said softly, "I have a gentle personality and great talent. I wonder why I can't be a good match for you? ... Feng Xiaoxi..."
Yuanruan looked a little embarrassed: [No, this big brother was just complaining, why did he suddenly start singing? ]
System: [Hahaha! He is pretending to be charming. That's how Miss Lin fell in love with you. Look at her increasingly passionate eyes! Ah Ruan, the other party has already started to use his ultimate moves to coax you. What should we do now?]
