Don't be afraid! In name, she's still my wife, and her attitude has softened somewhat during this time.
She, she will definitely bring prosperity to me!
Two voices kept clamoring in Ji Keji's heart.
Ji Keji was writing while daydreaming.
Among a group of middle-aged and elderly men, Zhao Qingyun and Ji Keji, who look young and even a little immature, stand out.
The saint, who was high above, glanced at the entire audience and was immediately attracted by these two people.
However, in the end, the saint's gaze fell on Zhao Qingyun.
Firstly, Zhao Qingyun was sitting in the front, occupying the center position;
Secondly, Zhao Qingyun is younger and more handsome, and most importantly, he has a calm and composed temperament;
Thirdly, it’s purely a matter of chemistry.
The saint just likes Zhao Qingyun.
He was an eighteen-year-old Jinshi, and ranked first.
It can’t be said to be unique, but it is rare in the world.
Oh, by the way, I heard that he also ranked first in the provincial examination.
This is two yuan in a row?!
How about, give him the top three prizes?
It is also a good omen for him as a saint and for the imperial court.
But Zhao Qingyun is so young and so handsome, he deserves to be the third place in the imperial examination!
As the saint looked at Zhao Qingyun's stunning beauty, he was torn between two things in his heart.
Ultimately, the saint still wants a "holy name."
Zhao Qingyun was chosen as the top scholar, and he won the first place in the imperial examination, oh no, it was the sixth place in the imperial examination!
It is definitely a good omen, the real Wenquxing has descended to earth.
The rumors about Princess Nanping's marriage made the new top scholar even more popular.
Zhao Qingyun's name has become the focus of heated discussion in Beijing.
Gu Qingcheng:...Forget it, I'd better get sick!
So, when Lady Cheng'en sent someone to "invite" the mother of the top scholar to visit the Han family, the two young girls, Zhao Shuyi and Gu Lanyin, expressed their embarrassment.
"Auntie was already in poor health, and when my brother won the top spot in the imperial examination, she was so happy that she fell ill!"
"My aunt is unable to attend the Duke's Mansion's banquet. Please forgive me, Master!"
When the stepmother heard the servant's retelling of the story, she was not angry.
On the contrary, she was excited.
She had already pictured an image in her mind:
A country girl, widowed at a young age, raised her son with great difficulty.
It has turned my hair white and ruined my health.
Now, her son has finally made a name for himself, and the old widow has finally gotten through it.
After being a daughter-in-law for many years, she finally became a mother-in-law. She was an old shrew in the countryside. Her vulgarity and fierceness were absolutely unimaginable to the ladies.
"Hahaha! I'm not feeling well! That's great!"
The stepmother knelt in the small Buddhist temple, laughing so hard that she fell backwards. "When that little bitch gets married, it will definitely be a very lively scene between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law!"
Han Jiaojiao is not weak, so she vomits blood. Her mother-in-law is also old and sick.
Moreover, her mother-in-law has more advantages than her: she is older, has a higher generation, and has the merit of raising a son who is the top scholar.
Such a virtuous woman and loving mother would probably be praised by even the most old-fashioned and pedantic literati.
If this dynasty were to compile biographies of heroic women, the Zhao family's Gu family would definitely be selected.
With a mother-in-law like this, Han Jiaojiao probably won't have a good life.
Even if she marries down, even if she has the royal family's support, she cannot go too far.
The newlywed bride made her mother-in-law, who was very kind to her husband, sick or even died of anger... Haha, I guess even the reputation of the Huo family will be affected.
The stepmother reached out to wipe away the tears of laughter. She was very much looking forward to the arranged marriage from the palace and eagerly waiting to see the beautiful scene of Han Jiaojiao being humiliated.
Han Jiaojiao: ...You are thinking about Peach!
I pretended to be sick at the cost of my reputation, and did so for several years, just to be able to openly call my aunt "Mom"!
There will definitely be no conflicts between her and her aunt, oh no, her mother.
Zhao Qingyun:...So, I am the gift?
The stepmother sat back and waited for the feast, while the virtuous concubine Wu couldn't help but nag at Han Chong—
"My Lord, the Saint wouldn't really have chosen that Zhao family member, would he?"
"I've asked people to inquire about it. The Zhao family is just an ordinary farming family. There is only my widowed mother and my young brother at home."
"Although I bought a property in the capital, it's just a small courtyard."
"How can a family like this be worthy of Nanping?"
Even if they are from a scholarly family and want to invest in a rising star, they probably only want to marry a concubine's daughter.
In addition to being a princess, Nanping is also the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
It would be really inappropriate to marry so low.
In other words, Han Mingzhu's marriage has been decided. Otherwise, with Nanping's marriage downgraded, Han Mingzhu's marriage would also be affected.
"...How can I not be worthy? Zhao Qingyun is the top three scorers in the imperial examination!"
Han Chong's expression was somewhat complicated.
An eighteen-year-old top scholar, I guess only operas would dare to write about him like this.
But Zhao Qingyun did it.
Moreover, he always got first place in every imperial examination!
Getting six top marks in the imperial examination is absolutely rare in the world.
Han Chong was instinctively jealous of this young man of extraordinary talent.
Han Chong thinks he is a man of both literary and martial talents, but compared to true geniuses, he is simply a poor student.
What a bunch of scum!
