Chapter 425: Perfect Match, Top Match, Perfect Match
The parade slowly approached.
Ying Zhilin sat on the first horse, a tall horse covered with red silk.
In front of him was the small leader Yuan, who was leading his men to maintain order and keep the roads clear.
"Grandma, this year's number one scholar is so handsome. If I could marry him, I don't know how happy I would be."
"Buddha, Bodhisattva, please grant the number one scholar to be my husband. I wish to eat a combination of meat and vegetables for the rest of my life..." A plump girl made a wish while chewing on the barbecue skewers in her hand.
"May Yue Lao bless him to be lonely for the rest of his life!
What I can’t get, I won’t let other sisters get it either…”
From time to time, you can hear women on the street making wishes.
After they made their wishes, they threw the handkerchiefs and flowers towards Ying Zhilin.
If you hit it, your wish may come true.
But the handkerchief is too light to be thrown too far.
Someone wrapped copper coins and silver dimes in a handkerchief and threw them at Ying Zhilin. After a few hits, several red marks were left on Ying Zhilin's forehead.
Ying Zhilin kept using his hands to block, making the originally high-spirited top scholar look a little embarrassed.
Far away from Ruyi Teahouse, Ying Zhilin began to look for Wen Yan.
soon.
He found Wen Yan standing in front of the window.
Wen Yan was also looking at him.
A moment.
Their eyes met.
Wen Yan was also looking for herself.
Don't be too one-sided.
This realization made Ying Zhilin very happy.
He waved desperately at Wen Yan: "Madam! Madam! Yanyan!"
Ying Zhizhi Lin called her, and everyone looked towards Wen Yan.
For a moment, Wen Yan became the focus of everyone.
Pei'er was so excited that she almost jumped up while holding Su He's hand: "It really is my son-in-law. He's rich, rich. The money we bet can be doubled."
Pei'er also deposited ten taels of silver.
In just a few days, ten taels became twenty taels, and the money he earned was as easy as picking vegetables.
Under everyone's attention, she instinctively wanted to close the window and hide away, but she restrained herself.
She also waved to Ying Zhilin, and the interaction between the two explained everything.
However, although the top scholar was so handsome, his wife's appearance was disappointing.
Although she is very pretty, she is not as stunning as a great beauty.
Standing next to Ying Zhilin, he seems slightly inferior.
Many women made "tsk——" sounds of disgust.
"It turns out that this girl is already taken!"
"A good pig is eaten by rotten cabbage. God, can you hear the sound of my heart breaking?"
"His wife is too ordinary looking to match his face."
Pei'er clenched her fists in anger: "These people are too much. The lady is obviously very beautiful."
"They must be trying to discredit the young lady because they can't get her son-in-law!"
Su He was also very annoyed: "That's right, our sister is so beautiful." The two little girls were bickering there.
Amidst the sounds of discussion.
Ying Zhilin lightly pressed his horse's belly and quickly arrived at the bottom of Ruyi Teahouse.
He jumped off the horse swiftly, picked up the hem of his robe, and ran towards the teahouse.
He wanted to hold Wen Yan's hand and tell her in person that he had passed the imperial examination and returned with top honors as promised.
In front of the window of a private room on the second floor, the master and servant who had previously fought over the private room were standing.
The maid suppressed her anger and said, "Master, he is coming up."
"Go, stop him, and don't let them meet."
"Yes, master." The maid took the order and left.
As soon as Ying Zhilin ran to the stairs, someone started to jeer and shout, "Everyone, work together and don't let him succeed."
Yingzhi Lin knew that something was wrong and wanted to run faster.
But there are too many guests here, and two fists cannot beat four hands.
After a while, he was pushed out of the teahouse by the crowd.
The guests laughed and blocked the door to prevent him from entering.
He tried several times but failed to break through.
Ying Zhilin was anxious and shouted to Wen Yan upstairs: "Yan Yan, wait for me, I will come to you soon."
He tried once and failed once.
Fail once, try again.
The onlookers laughed at him and thought he was being so indecent for a woman.
Wen Yan called out to him, "Don't come up here, don't delay the parade."
"I have something to tell you now."
Wen Yan didn't want him to delay his work because of her.
In a hurry, he said, "Don't move, I'll come down to find you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and climbed up to the window.
The onlookers were so frightened that they cried out, "Mrs. Zhuangyuan, please don't do anything stupid."
"If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't be impulsive."
"What's going on in the teahouse? Just joke around a couple of times, why are you always making things difficult for me? That's too much. Be careful or you'll have no salt to eat later."
Just when everyone was giving advice.
Wen Yan jumped up.
The scene fell silent.
Only Ying Zhilin shouted in fear: "Yan Yan..."
He flew toward her.
Her sleeves were blown up by the wind, and Wen Yan was held steadily in his arms.
"Liu Wenyan, you scared me to death! That's the second floor. You'll get hurt if you jump down."
Wen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have Kung Fu skills, so I can handle this arrangement without any problem."
Ying Zhilin was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he hugged her in his arms.
His body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Wen Yan was a little stunned. It was the first time that she felt so clearly that Ying Zhilin cared about her.
Wen Yan slapped him hard, "Ying Zhilin, let go. This is disgraceful in front of everyone."
"Don't do such dangerous things again." Ying Zhilin then let him go and pouted in grievance.
He then bowed to the onlookers and said, "Excuse me. My wife was in great danger just now, and in a moment of desperation, she acted beyond her rights. Please don't spread this, as it will damage her reputation."
"That's also to save lives. We can all understand that."
"Yes. If anyone is to be blamed, it should be the customers in the teahouse!
If they hadn’t blocked me from going upstairs, the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.”
"Yes!" Although the onlookers were just joking around, they were all kind-hearted.
Wen Yan thanked everyone awkwardly and pushed Ying Zhilin away: "Go back and have a good parade."
At this time, the young leader Yuan came over and urged: "The whole team is waiting for you."
Ying Zhilin suddenly thought of something, turned around, held her wrist, and said very seriously: "Yanyan, I passed the exam and became the top scorer.
I made a promise to you, and I kept it."
Wen Yan also responded to him solemnly: "Ying Zhilin, you are great!"
"Yanyan, wait for me to come back. I still have a lot to say to you."
Wen Yan smiled and waved her fist at him: "Go quickly, behave well, and don't embarrass me, the wife of the top scholar."
Ying Zhilin left reluctantly.
The young leader Yuan stroked his forehead.
Ying Zhilin actually seemed so indecisive and hesitant.
Just then.
Finally, someone in the crowd asked, "The wife of the newly crowned number one scholar seems to be the Liu family of 'A Little Ink'."
"I met Mr. Liu once, and he really looks like him."
"What does it look like? It's Master Liu."
"So it's Master Liu. Thanks to 'A Little Ink' taking me in, I was able to survive this winter."
"I also read a lot of books on Yidianmo that I couldn't afford, and gained a lot of knowledge."
"The kindhearted Liu Dongjia and the talented new champion are a perfect match."
"Yes! A perfect match, a top match, a match made in heaven. They are a couple made in heaven."
Those who just thought that the two people's looks didn't match instantly changed their minds.
Pei'er snorted proudly: "I told you, my young lady and uncle are the perfect match."
When Ying Zhilin heard those discussions, he felt a little secretly happy.
