Chapter 120 Wang Qiluo Gets Married

Most of the top scorers will stay in Beijing to work, but those who are directly sent to local areas are either not valued much or have high hopes for them.

The position of Yangzhou prefect, a local official with extremely high value, was a testament to the emperor's high regard for the new number one scholar.

While Liu Shuhui was riding a tall horse, wearing the red robe of the top scholar, and parading through the streets in grand style, something was going on in another part of the capital.

"You just got a Tongjintu?"

Li Mansion, second room.

Lu Hanyi, who had just given birth not long ago, listened to the news from Li Wenxun in disbelief.

The whole person was like a stone, stiff on the bed.

Let's go to the land together, let's go to the land together......

Li Wenxun! He didn't pass the exam! Yuan!

And I only won the lowest rank!

Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!

Li Wenxun stepped forward and teased his son, "At my age now, it is not easy to pass the imperial examination and become an official."

Li Wenxun didn't think so.

He also wanted to move forward, to get into the top three and compete for the top spot, but he didn't have so many helpers.

Not to mention the real talent and knowledge of the first place, the second and third place all got there based on their family background.

The second runner-up is a nephew of Zuodu Yushi's family. The head of the family is a former tutor to the crown prince. He knows a group of great scholars and has a lot of outstanding family talents in the court.

The third place winner came from another province. He was born into a prominent family and was well-known in the local area. Every year, several of his candidates passed the imperial examinations and became successful candidates.

He was just the second son of a small sixth-rank official. His Li family only became prosperous in his father's generation. He had no foundation at all. A large amount of resources were given to his elder brother. He had no help from his wife's family. He passed the imperial examination and became an official relying on his own strength. This was already a remarkable thing!

"Don't touch my son!" Lu Hanyi reacted after a series of shocks.

She grabbed her son and glared at Li Wenxun with eyes wide open.

"What did you do again?" Li Wenxun's eyes were filled with displeasure.

"You are a liar! You should have been the top scorer! How come you only got a low score!" Lu Hanyi was filled with rage, and he picked up the pillow and quilt on the bed and threw them at Li Wenxun.

"Can I influence the rankings made by His Majesty himself in the palace examination?" Li Wenxun was at a loss for words.

"I don't care, you are a liar! You lied to me, misled me, and ruined my life!" Lu Hanyi screamed.

When she was reborn, she took the initiative at the beginning, wasn't it just to change her fate?

How did it become like this!

What went wrong?

Why didn’t Li Wenxun become the top scholar in this life!

Li Wenxun found her roaring questions extremely funny. "How did I deceive you, mislead you, and ruin your life! Did I promise you that I would win the imperial examination, and then you married me?"

From the very beginning, Lu Hanyi always talked about the top scholar, but he had never said such big words before.

Even when she forced him on the day she gave birth, he admitted that he would work hard to become the top scholar only under her coercion.

But in her case, it became that he promised her first that he would pass the exam and then she would marry him.

Li Wenxun's words made Lu Hanyi stop. Li Wenxun looked at her shocked, confused and regretful face, and felt a long-accumulated anger rushing into his heart and lungs.

Does she still regret it?

Oh!

"Other wives help their husbands with household chores and take care of everything. But you keep asking me to pass the imperial examination so that I can be your wife. If you want me to be the top scholar, why don't you try to find some help for me?"

"Your sister married into a marquis' mansion and has many friends, but you never make any contact with them. Your father and mother love you, but you never ask them for help. Give me some help. What else do you do all day long except talking about me?"

"You were a complete mess when you were in the inner palace. You didn't respect my parents, you didn't treat my brother and his wife well, and you always went to your parents' house to complain. How dare you ask me to make you the wife of a top scholar?"

Lu Hanyi's eyes instantly turned red as she listened to this series of accusations. "Get out! Get out!"

"Oh, do you think I want to come here?" Li Wenxun flicked his sleeves and left.

Lu Hanyi looked at the back and felt annoyed and angry. She took the child and went back to her parents' home.

Lu Lingyun heard that Lu Hanyi had returned to her parents' home again.

Logically, she should go and take a look at this time.

This was the big event that Lu Hanyi had been looking forward to with all her heart. After her rebirth, she snatched away her predestined marriage from her previous life, and she hoped that Li Wenxun would become the top scholar and ask her to be his wife.

But who would have thought that all my expectations would be dashed.

Li Wenxun didn't even make it into the top three this time, and was just the last one among the candidates. This must have made Lu Hanyi shocked and regretful!

Who knows, he's probably at home now, confused and crying!

Unfortunately, Lu Lingyun didn't have time to go.

On the day Liu Shuhui was appointed as an official, he went to the Wang family in a grand manner to propose marriage.

Now Lu Lingyun is busy helping Wang Qiluo arrange her marriage.

Liu Shuhui was from another province, and his family could not get here in time, so the Wang family gave them a private courtyard as their wedding house. Liu Shuhui received a lot of rewards from His Majesty, and all of them were sent to the Wang family as a betrothal gift.

Although the total betrothal gift was less than 100 kg, and far less than the 180,000 yuan Lu Lingyun had originally offered, it was at least a token of thoughtfulness.

Many of the newly-appointed officials of the same batch were captured by the big families in the capital to be sons-in-law, but they could not even afford a betrothal gift, and all the dowry was provided by the woman herself.

Liu Shuhui has been extremely sincere.

The betrothal gift was only ten kilos, but the Wang family prepared sixty-eight kilos of dowry. Lu Lingyun added two kilos of solid dowry to Wang Qiluo, making a total of eighty kilos of dowry.

At that time, all these dowries will go to Jiangnan with Wang Qiluo.

"Lingyun, what you gave is too much! And it's too expensive!" Jiang was shocked when she saw the two boxes of makeup that Lu Lingyun had someone carry in.

There were five rolls of Sichuan brocade alone, twenty rolls of the finest silk, two boxes full of makeup and head ornaments made of gold, silver, pearls, and jade, as well as various pearl, jade, and wood carvings and hand-held playthings.

Every piece of the pile is excellent stuff.

Lu Lingyun took out two boxes as a dowry for Wang Qiluo.

"When I got married last year, you, godmother, gave me many good things from your hidden treasures." Lu Lingyun smiled.

Jiang's eyes turned red when she heard this.

The dowry she gave to Lu Lingyun last year was the best thing she had kept in her closet, but how could it compare to these!

Seeing Jiang's expression, Lu Lingyun stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "I have always regarded Qiluo as my own sister. When my own sister gets married, it is natural that she wants to have a grand wedding."

Jiang's eyes became even redder as she listened.
