Chapter 486 No. 1 Scholar

No wonder I haven't seen Gongsun Yue for a while, it turns out he's busy with this matter.

Lian Xiang stared at the courtyard in front of her, wanting to engrave everything in the courtyard in her heart.

"Miss Lian Xiang, I really love you. I know you've always wanted to have a home, so I decorated this courtyard myself."

"I want to marry you in a dignified way and make you my wife."

Lian Xiang looked at the key in her hand, her eyes filled with water.

She had seen many people who said they wanted to marry her, but Gongsun Yue was the first one to actually do it.

Gongsun Yue saw that Lian Xiang's expression was no longer as firm as before, and immediately took Lian Xiang's hand.

"I won't ask you to stay at home to take care of your husband and children after you get married. You can go to school, go to a teahouse, or do whatever you want. I will never restrict you to this small courtyard."

"I won't change your life. I just want to occupy your husband's status, and a little time and love."

Gongsun Yue's attitude was very humble, as if he was begging humbly.

Hearing Gongsun Yue's words, Lian Xiang was rarely moved.

"Lord Gongsun..."

Lian Xiang lowered her eyes and pulled her hand out of Gongsun Yue's hand.

"My Lord, I am very touched by what you have done, but marriage is not a trivial matter. I heard that you quarreled with your family because of me..."

She stood up straight and looked at Gongsun Yue: "My Lord, I don't want you to be disloyal and unfilial and be criticized by others."

Before Gongsun Yue could speak, Gongsun Changcun ran over.

"No one blames you, no one blames you. I agree to your marriage."

Gongsun Changcun originally thought that Lianxiang was a seductive person who caused a quarrel between his son and his family. He didn't expect that Lianxiang was so considerate. She even

helped them to persuade Gongsun Yue.

In addition to what Madam and Shaoyao said, he suddenly felt that it was not a bad idea to let Lianxiang come in.

Seeing Gongsun Changcun, Gongsun Yue was very surprised.

"Dad?"

"I've thought about it carefully during the days you were away. Now you're older and have your own ideas. Your foresight and wisdom are much better than mine. Dad can't compare to you."

"Life is short, and it's not easy to find someone you love. Dad is willing to help you."

Lianxiang looked at Gongsun Changcun in surprise.

"But my identity..."

"Hey~ What's the importance of identity? Our Gongsun family used to be a merchant that everyone looked down on. Now, there are still many people rushing to please us. A hero doesn't ask where he came from. I've read Miss Lianxiang's articles. She's quite talented. It's our honor to marry you."

Gongsun Changcun is a businessman, and he speaks beautiful words.

He has now come to terms with it, and he is satisfied with Lianxiang.

"Miss Lianxiang, don't worry that our family will let you down. This kid is very stubborn. Once he sets his mind on something, even ten cows can't pull him back."

"He is very loyal."

"If you don't believe me, just look at the fan in his hand."

Gongsun Yue put the fan in his hand behind his back and hid it.

Lianxiang couldn't help laughing.

Lord Gongsun is really good. She really doesn't want to drag Lord Gongsun down, but Lord Gongsun is really too good. She is afraid of missing this favor.

She has never asked for anything in her life, so she should be forgiven for being so presumptuous this time.

She smiled at Gongsun Yue and agreed to the marriage.

So, Gongsun Wu came in person and brought hundreds of boxes of betrothal gifts to Yangliu Tower to ask for marriage.

When the common people saw the betrothal gifts entering the Yangliu Tower, their eyes widened.

"Who is this? Such a grand ceremony, actually willing to spend so much money on a fireworks girl."

"He is really rich, wouldn't it be better to marry a decent woman with this money?"

Along with the betrothal gifts, there was also an imperial decree personally granting marriage.

With this imperial decree, no one dared to question Lian Xiang's identity.

At the same time, Gan Fanren also released the news of the imperial examination.

Due to the lack of talents, this year's imperial examination is particularly different. No matter what identity, gender, or status, as long as you want to participate in the imperial examination, you can participate. You

just have to go through three rounds of examinations.

Hearing this news, many people signed up.

The students of the women's school were even more excited.

The sisters from Yangliulou also signed up.

Seeing the girls from Yangliulou, some people couldn't help but mock: "It's really fresh that Hua Niang can also come to participate in the imperial examination."

"You learned those obscene words, aren't you afraid of polluting the eyes of His Majesty?"

The girls from Yangliulou naturally wouldn't let anyone bully them.

Lianxiang gathered the girls behind her and said: "His Majesty said that regardless of birth or gender, we are here naturally."

"Whether we can do it or not, it's up to His Majesty to decide, it's not your turn to bark here."

With Gongsun Yue, Lianxiang's temperament has become much more cheerful than before, and she dares to resist when she encounters injustice.

Shaoyao couldn't help but applaud: "Sister Lianxiang is really reborn now."

She is no longer the bullied look before.

"It seems that I have to do well in the exam, so that I can take home a young man of my dreams and experience the taste of love."

The girls couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Although they couldn't enter the girls' school due to their status, they never gave up the opportunity to study.

They had been studying silently.

During the imperial examination, several girls from Yangliu Tower passed.

Lianxiang even won the first prize.

The girls couldn't help but cry: "I never thought that we were prostitutes a year ago, but now we have become officials."

"All this is thanks to the goddess and your majesty."

In the girls' school, many girls also passed the imperial examination, and there were more girls who passed the imperial examination than boys.

Seeing this, many people complained that the imperial examination was unfair, and they were unwilling to believe that they worked hard to study, but they could not pass the exam better than a group of girls who started school more than ten years later than them.

[The Guangzongyaozu relied on the fact that they had more meat than the girls, and they stayed at home all day eating and drinking, fooling around everywhere, and they forgot

what they learned faster than they forgot it. Naturally, they were unwilling to believe that they would be surpassed by girls.] [It's really time to show their test papers to everyone to see what they have learned.]

Gan Fanren thought this was a good idea, so he asked someone to transcribe the test papers of all the candidates, and posted them in a clear place according to the best and worst scores, so that the whole kingdom and the people could see them.

Those dandies who had previously claimed to have inside information, when they saw that their own nonsensical test papers were posted, were ashamed to face people and fell silent.

Lian Xiang won the first place, Gongsun Yue was happier than anyone else, and even held a banquet that lasted for three days and three nights.

Some people who had originally looked down on Lian Xiang shut up when they saw that Lian Xiang won the first place, and some even secretly regarded Lian Xiang as a role model.
