Chapter 418 Tang Er still has good vision
On the third day after returning, Song Jinsheng stopped in Anyang County while delivering goods and told Song Yuntang that someone in the examination room was cheating and was not only paraded through the streets in shackles, but was also punished by being banned from taking the imperial examinations for five terms.
The autumn examination is held every three years, and five sessions will take fifteen years.
If a person cannot take part in the imperial examinations for fifteen years, he basically cannot expect to change his destiny through the imperial examinations.
"Brother, do you know that person's name?" Song Yuntang asked.
Song Jinsheng thought about it.
"I only know his last name, but not his specific name."
Song Yuntang smiled. As expected, this person was He Yuanfei.
It can't be such a coincidence that there is another person named He who cheated, right?
Song Jinsheng looked at her.
"Looking at the expression on my sister's face, does she know this person?"
Song Yuntang wasn't sure.
"It's possible."
Song Jinsheng was curious.
"Besides your brother-in-law, do you know any other scholar named He who participated in the Autumn Examination?"
Song Yuntang did not hide it, "Lin Zhaozhao's husband is a scholar, his last name is He."
Song Jinsheng was a little surprised.
"Lin Zhaozhao got married? When did it happen?"
I originally thought that the official would take her back and keep her for two more years.
"On the ninth day of the eleventh month of last year, Lin Zhaozhao and Madam Lin attended the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Yang residence. She originally wanted to be someone's concubine, but she was taken advantage of by this scholar named He. The Lin family was embarrassed, so they hastily held a wedding banquet and married her directly to the He family as a concubine."
In order to avoid misunderstanding by her second brother, she did not reveal that the person Lin Zhaozhao originally wanted to target was Xu Qingye.
Song Jinsheng looked surprised and curious.
"How old is Mr. He?"
As for Lin Zhaozhao, after knowing her character, he no longer felt any sympathy when he heard her name again.
Song Yuntang glanced in his direction.
"This year I am thirty."
"Hiss!" Song Jinsheng took a breath of cold air.
Thirty this year?
Doesn't that mean he is six years older than his brother-in-law?
He is six years older than me and in good health, yet he is still just a scholar. If my brother-in-law had not been ill for five years, with his intelligence, he might have become a high-ranking official by now.
From this point of view, my brother-in-law is still the best.
Thinking of this, he looked at Song Yuntang with a smile, "Our Tang'er still has good taste."
Song Yuntang chuckled.
"Second brother, don't you remember how you disliked Xu Qingye before?"
Song Jinsheng grabbed his head in embarrassment, "You just got close to the second brother at that time, but you were taken away by someone else. How could I be nice to him?"
Song Yuntang smiled happily.
"I thought my second brother was really dissatisfied with him."
Song Jinsheng muttered.
"If he hadn't been sick before, I would have definitely agreed with him."
The brother and sister chatted for a while, and then Song Jinsheng went to Cile Town.
After sitting down for a while, I saw a familiar figure coming into the clinic.
"Tang'er."
Song Yuntang raised his head.
"What does Mr. Lin want to see me about?"
Although Lin Gengshi had been avoiding the original owner at Lin Zhaozhao's instigation before, he never put any obstacles in her way after she came through.
I'll even give in to her on some things.
She has always been a person who does not offend others unless they offend her.
Now that she didn't know the purpose of the visitor, she couldn't just kick him out.
Lin Gengshi hesitated and took out a red wedding invitation from his arms and handed it to Song Yuntang.
"My wedding banquet will be held on February 8 next year. I hope you can come and attend."
Song Yuntang glanced at the invitation in his hand but did not take it.
"Now that my relationship with the Lin family is so strained, it's really inappropriate for Second Young Master Lin to invite me to the Lin family's wedding banquet."
Lin Gengshi lowered his head with guilt in his eyes.
"I know it's inappropriate. We were wrong in the past. We listened to Zhao Zhao and ignored you. I apologize to you. Whether you recognize me as your brother or not, I have always treated you as my sister."
He said, placing the wedding invitation on the table.
"I have sent the wedding invitation. It is up to you to decide whether to come or not. Although I really hope you can come on this day, if you don't come, Second Brother won't blame you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Song Yuntang looked at the wedding invitation on the table for a while before reaching out to pick it up and unfold it.
The woman’s surname is Li.
Her name is Li Shuyao.
"Li Shuyao, Li Yuyao, the names are so similar..."
She immediately understood that the girl she saw standing with Li Yuyao in Mingyue Tower in the provincial capital a few days ago was the concubine of the Li family.
Although it was appropriate for the second son of a wealthy family to marry the concubine's daughter of a prefect, it was still a bit too high for the wealthy family.
The prefect and his wife might have been attracted to Lin Gengshi because he had an older brother who was a juren.
The Juren was a potential stock, and they were willing to marry their concubine's daughter to him, simply because they were betting that Lin Jingyao would have a promising future and be beneficial to the family.
Speaking of which, Lin Hongshen is really good at this.
Although Yang Linyuan failed to marry into the family of the Li family, he did marry into a high-ranking family with the Li family, and his son was also introduced to the legitimate son of the Li family.
In order to pave the way for his son's future career, he was really willing to put in the effort.
She suddenly felt curious.
The Lin family didn't have much property. When Lin Jingyao gave Lin Zhaozhao two hundred taels of silver last year, he wasn't in a good mood. After Lin Zhaozhao got married, he even sold two shops in the town.
Where does the money come from to maintain relations nowadays?
Xia Ning asked from the side.
"Master, do you really want to go?"
She only recently heard about the grudge between Song Yuntang and the Lin family.
Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "On the day of the Lin Mansion wedding banquet, just prepare a gift for Mr. Lin Er alone. I won't be going."
After saying that, he closed the wedding invitation and threw it aside.
…
While Song Yuntang was busy in the clinic, she counted on her fingers and watched nine days pass. On this day, she got up early, ate the breakfast sent by Wu, took her change of clothes, and got on a carriage to the provincial capital.
A lot of people have gathered outside the examination room.
Like her, I was looking towards the examination room.
Suddenly a surprised voice sounded.
"Doctor Song, you are here too?"
Hearing the voice, Song Yuntang looked back and saw it was Li Yuyao.
"It's Miss Li." She greeted with a smile and pointed in the direction of the examination room, "I'm here to pick up my husband."
"Ah!" Li Yuyao was surprised, "It turns out that Dr. Song's husband also participated in this autumn examination."
Song Yuntang pursed his lips and smiled.
"Why are you here, Miss Li?"
Li Yuyao smiled and said, "My elder brother is also in the examination room. I came here today to take him home."
I also want to find a chance to meet another person.
Song Yuntang understood.
"I see. Then I wish Master Li a successful start."
Li Yuyao was very happy.
"Thank you, Doctor Song, for your good wishes. If my elder brother is really on the list, I will definitely invite Doctor Song to have a feast at Mingyue Tower next time."
Just then, someone shouted excitedly.
“It’s out! It’s out!”
