Chapter 148: Love in the Ancient Planes

The good news of Yuan Qingci's passing the imperial examination had long been spread to Qingshan Village.

Lu had been keeping a low profile for so many years, and finally she was able to raise her head.

Although she had not been educated much, she knew that the treatment of a judge was completely different from that of a scholar.

A judge could see an official without kneeling, and could also be exempted from 200 acres of land tax and corvée for more than a dozen households.

Seeing her son coming back, Lu burst into tears.

"My son is indeed very lucky. Your father's spirit in heaven must be very happy. Go and burn some incense for your father."

Yuan Xiucai took exams for his entire life, but in the end he stopped at the level of a scholar and made no progress.

Yuan Qingci passed the imperial examination at the age of 15, which was a great honor for the Yuan family.

After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Yuan Qingci went to the tablet of Yuan Xiucai, lit a stick of incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Okay, you are tired too, get up."

Lu helped Yuan Qingci up, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, you can talk to me."

Yuan Qingci nodded, and the two moved to the hall and sat down.

Lu looked at Yuan Qingci and said distressedly: "My son has worked hard in the exam, he has lost weight and darkened a lot."

"My son is not tired, everything is fine."

Yuan Qingci lowered his eyes, interrupted the meaningless greetings, and got straight to the point.

"My son is already 15, and he passed the exam to become a groom. Shouldn't we put the marriage on the agenda?"

Mrs. Lu's smile suddenly turned cold. "There's no rush for this. You just came back, take a rest first."

Yuan Qingci clenched his fists, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Mom, you have to be conscientious! I can afford to delay, but Jiang Lan can't. She's already 18 years old. Girls in the village get married at the age of 15, but she's been delaying it for me." "I

used to be just a poor scholar, and I didn't have the face to marry her. Now that I've graduated from high school, why am I still delaying it?"

Mrs. Lu was shocked by her son's anger.

Her son has been calm since he was a child, and he doesn't show his emotions on his face. He looks like a man without temper.

Unexpectedly, he got so angry about this.

She was a little unwilling and complained: "They say that a man forgets his mother after marrying his wife. You haven't even married her yet, but you're already protecting her like this. After you marry her, where will my mother stay?"

When she thought of the child she had raised with great effort, being deceived by the butcher's daughter, tears started to fall again.

Yuan Qingci had a headache. It was like this every time. She would start crying and making a fuss after a few words.

"Mother, what are you dissatisfied with Jiang Lan? All these years, your son has relied on the Jiang family to support his studies?"

Mrs. Lu felt guilty and defended: "What's the value of this? You are now the master of Juren, how can you lack such a thing."

Yuan Qingci laughed angrily, "You don't lack, why do you still want to take it? If you take it, you still despise others? Mother, you are being a bitch and setting up

a memorial arch!" Lu was furious when he heard this, and slapped Yuan Qingci in the face.

"You've studied so much that you've lost everything! What kind of magic potion did Jiang Lan feed you to make you say such nonsense."

Yuan Qingci smiled bitterly, "If that's the case, why do you still let me study?"

"Studying is to make you successful, to make you stand out and bring honor to your family."

Lu was so angry that she was gasping for breath, "You're focusing all your attention on that wild girl. How can you be worthy of your father? How can you be worthy of me?"

Yuan Qingci straightened his back and looked at Lu straight in the eyes, which made her panic.

"Jiang Lan saved my life. Either you pledge your love to her and take care of her for the rest of your life, or you can only give your life back to her."

After hearing his words, Lu was completely panicked. Her eyes were full of disbelief. She pointed at Yuan Qingci.

"You...you actually...you actually did it for that girl! You even gave up your life! I gave birth to you and raised you, and this is how you treat me?"

"I will repay you for your kindness in my next life."

Yuan Qingci suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu, "Please help me."

Lu sat on the stool blankly, her expression a little wooden, and she looked at Yuan Qingci.

"You won the election at the age of 15, and your future is limitless. If you choose a good marriage and have a good in-law, you will be of great help to the government in the future. If you insist on choosing Jiang Lan, the daughter of a pig butcher, you will have no one to help you in the future, and you will even be laughed at. Don't you regret it?"

"Son, I will never regret it!" Yuan Qingci said firmly.

"You are a sentimental person." Mrs. Lu smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her words, "Okay, mother agreed, I will propose marriage tomorrow."

Yuan Qingci kowtowed again, "Thank you for your help, son will definitely be filial to you."

"Forget it, just don't help Jiang Lan to make me angry."

The son is no longer under the control of the mother, and Mrs. Lu instantly lost the excitement after her son's success.

Suddenly, she felt a little disappointed and felt a little tired all over.

Seeing his mother like this, Yuan Qingci wanted to say something comforting, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, which can't be moved easily.

He can't change anything with words, but he hopes that in future actions, he can make his mother change her prejudice against Jiang Lan.

Finally being able to marry his beloved, Yuan Qingci was somewhat excited, and could not wait to run to Jiang Lan and tell her the good news.

Jiang Lan was completely confused, what the hell?

Getting married? Really getting married?

[Looking at Brother Yuan's expression and the host's expression, it's clear who is the scumbag, okay. ]

[Host, it's against the rules to only flirt with someone but not marry them. If you do this, Brother Yuan will turn evil. ]

[Sorry, I just wanted to laugh. Women have always been affectionate and men are ruthless, but it's completely the opposite with the host. ]

[Host, are you worthy of Master Ye in this way? He has waited for you all his life, okay? ]

[It turns out that the host is the real Sea King, I'm so sorry. ]

Jiang Lan: You are slandering me, slandering me!

[Host, just give in. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's not bad to find a husband in another dimension. ]

Jiang Lan ignored the group of people making a fuss.

It's impossible to find a husband, not in this life.

However, facing Yuan Qingci's bright eyes, she still felt a little guilty, so she changed the subject.

"The Spring Examination will be held next year. You just need to prepare for it actively and don't care about these trivial matters."

"Why are they trivial matters?" Yuan Qingci was a little unhappy.

"I am also a man of honor now. Even if I fail the Spring Examination, my status as a judge is enough to get a good job. I won't let you suffer."

"Ah... this..." Jiang Lan hesitated, "What did Aunt Lu say?" What about

the mountain of conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Is

the resistance of the Lu family so weak?

Can't they even handle this?

Yuan Qingci had a look of understanding, "Don't worry, my mother has agreed, and I will find someone to propose marriage tomorrow."

It was really a dilemma, what should I do?

Before the plot got to the point, Jiang Lan was completely panicked.

If the arsonist was not found, wouldn't he have to get married honestly? Help!
