Chapter 188 Passing the Imperial Examination with Top Scholar and Marrying a Beauty
"Miss Lin, please drink slowly." Guo Xiao, completely devoid of his usual carefree attitude, stopped her. "Miss Lin, are you in a bad mood?"
"Who said I'm in a bad mood?" Lin Yu said again. "You paid for this wine, are you going to drink it or not?"
Guo Xiao quickly poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. "I'll drink it." He had finally managed to have a drink with her, so he was determined to seize the opportunity.
After a few rounds of drinks, Guo Xiao's face was flushed and he could barely sit up. "If I drink more, I can still drink... drink... Miss Lin, you are so beautiful."
Lin Yu's face grew even redder. Suddenly, her slender fingers touched Guo Xiao's cheek. The person in front of her seemed to have become the person in her heart. She murmured, "Young master, drink."
Guo Xiao, overcome with passion, grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. "Miss Lin, I love you."
Lin Yu smiled charmingly. She had learned those tricks to seduce men from Jiang Fenghua since she was a child, and she was more than capable of using them on Guo Xiao. Her smile alone made Guo Xiao lose his mind and become infatuated.
"What does it feel like to like someone?" She pushed him away. "You men's liking is all talk and no action. You only like the novelty for a moment! I think you just want my body! You'll forget about me as soon as you've slept with me."
"No, I swear, I will only love Miss Lin in this life, and I want to marry you." Guo Xiao was blinded by lust, and for the past few months, all he could think about was Lin Yu's smile at him.
He vowed to marry her; he couldn't live without her.
Lin Yu laughed heartily, "Over the years, there have been thousands, if not tens of thousands, of men who have said they wanted to marry me. You want to marry me? Ha, are you just lusting after me, or do you think it's fun, or do you want to tease me?"
“No…” Guo Xiao said anxiously.
Lin Yu ignored him and said to herself, "If you want to marry me, show me your sincerity. I'll play along."
“No, I, Guo Xiao, swear that I am sincere towards you, not just playing around.” He said seriously, “I know I used to be a playboy, I had many… but since I fell in love with Miss Lin, I have never had any contact with anyone else. I was not sincere with any of them. Now, there is only you in my heart, and I want to marry you.”
As he spoke, Guo Xiao tried to kiss her, but Lin Yu wouldn't let him succeed. Suddenly, she felt a little bored. In the end, it was just lust at first sight. No matter how many men there were in the world, none could compare to him...
Lin Yu pushed him away, picked up the wine pot, and went out the door. "Thank you for drinking with me tonight, Young Master Guo. It's too late, Young Master Guo, please go back! Someone, see the guest out."
She was decisive and efficient. Guo Xiao didn't have time to react. One second she was still in his arms, and the next second she was three feet away from him.
Just then, two women dressed in tight-fitting clothes and carrying long swords walked in. "Young Master Guo, please!"
"Miss Lin..." Guo Xiao called out repeatedly.
“Young Master Guo, please. My daughter does not wish to see you,” one of the women said.
They thought that Miss Lin had deliberately kept this man behind because she had taken a fancy to him and wanted to spend a night with him. Fortunately, Miss Lin was not drunk.
"Who are you? I want to see Miss Lin. Get out of my way." Guo Xiao thought Lin Yu was just a young woman from a brothel, and these women with swords were thugs from Yichun Tower.
"My daughter will never marry you, so give up!" Bizhu kindly reminded him, seeing that he came to Yichun Tower every day to wait for Miss Lin, as if he really cared.
"Why not? I can help her get her freedom..."
The two men laughed, hands on their hips. "There are plenty of people who want to redeem our Miss Lin, but you're not even in the running. Besides, you don't have the ability, so don't even dream about it." Miss Lin isn't short of money; she calls the shots in the entire Yichun Pavilion. She doesn't need to be redeemed; she doesn't have a contract of indenture.
"I'm determined to marry her, you just wait." Guo Xiao was determined to marry Lin Yu.
Guo Xiao was somewhat famous among the young masters of aristocratic families. He was good-looking and came from a good family. He felt that Lin Yu would definitely not refuse him.
Hearing him say this, Zhihui also said, "If you want to marry my daughter, unless you are the top scholar in the imperial examination, you might have a chance, otherwise don't waste your time."
Guo Xiao was dumbfounded; he disliked reading the most.
Seeing that he still refused to leave, they didn't want to waste any more words on him. They simply knocked Guo Xiao unconscious and threw him out of Yichun Tower. "What an annoyance. The men who want to marry my girl are already lined up outside the city. Go ahead and wait in line." They didn't take a playboy like Guo Xiao seriously at all.
After seeing Guo Xiao off, the woman barged into Lin Yu's room and said respectfully, "Miss, why did you drink so much today?"
"Because I'm happy." She propped herself up on the bed, her figure graceful, and smiled, adding, "Bizhu, Zhihui, come drink with me! Why can't I get drunk on this wine? It seems that having a high alcohol tolerance isn't good either; I can't get drunk even if I want to..."
After saying that, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, the two were speechless. "Since the eldest young master got married, how many times has Miss Yu gotten drunk?"
“She doesn’t drink when the master is around, but she drinks all the time. Now that the master has returned to the palace, has she started getting drunk again…”
The two sighed in unison, "Sigh! If liking someone is this painful, I'd rather never have someone I like in my entire life."
In their hearts, Lin Yu only liked Jiang Jinyan.
Now that Jiang Jinyan has married, she is heartbroken and drinks heavily every day because of her bad mood.
Guo Xiao was thrown into the snow and was instantly awakened by the cold. His servants, seeing him being thrown out of Yichun Tower, quickly surrounded him, saying, "Young Master."
Guo Xiao had been drinking and his head was spinning, but now he was sober. Staring at the three-story Yichun Tower, he suddenly started to grin foolishly. Had he just hugged her? Her soft, fragrant body was truly wonderful!
"Young master, what are you grinning about? You've already been thrown out, wasting so much money."
"Who said it was a waste of money? She drank with me and even hugged me for a while."
"We spent two hundred taels of silver, just hugged for a while, drank some wine, and that was it..."
"Otherwise, I'd be happy to do it. As long as I can see Miss Lin every day, I'd be happy to do it even if it's not two hundred taels, but five hundred or a thousand taels."
The two servants exchanged a glance. They would rather their young master didn't have a sweetheart; at least he wouldn't squander the family fortune. If the master and mistress found out that their young master wanted to marry a courtesan, they would surely break his legs.
He frowned and muttered to himself, "She said she would marry the top scholar in the imperial examination, so I'm going to take the exam to become the top scholar."
The attendant was dumbfounded, as if he had heard news of the universe about to explode. "Young master is really crazy. He wants to become the top scholar. No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to pass the imperial examination."
"Unless the Guo family's ancestral graves are about to emit auspicious smoke..."
Guo Xiao, of course, ignored the servants' complaints and went straight home to ask his father to register him for the imperial examination. He was determined to become the top scholar and marry a beautiful woman.
