Chapter 209: Eating the melon and it fell on your head
"I don't know." Jiang Mixia shook her head.
The results have not been announced yet, probably not because of the high school.
"I guess there's a wedding in someone's family." Jiang Mixia guessed.
Generally speaking, there will be more weddings in the second half of the year, especially in autumn when the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, which is the best time to hold weddings.
As for the entrance to the inn...
Maybe the bride is from outside the city, so she wants to get married here in the inn.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun made such guesses while standing at the door of the inn, preparing to get some wedding cakes and candies later, just to share in the festive atmosphere.
As a result, the cakes and candies were really obtained, but after asking in detail, he found out that this was not a happy event of a wedding, but a happy event of winning the top prize in high school.
Jiang Mixia was immediately extremely curious, "The results haven't even been announced yet, how do you know you'll be admitted to the university?"
"Young lady, you don't know this, do you?" A middle-aged man handing out wedding candies and wedding money said cheerfully, "My employer has always been on the list of candidates for the imperial examinations. This is just a provincial examination, so it's not a problem at all."
"Is he so amazing?" Song Jingyun also became interested. "I guess he must be a very knowledgeable and intelligent person, so he is so confident about the exam?"
"Of course." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My employer is really a literary star from heaven. He is very knowledgeable at a young age. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a man of great talent and learning. The most important thing is that my employer is also very lucky, so he can always make the list."
"Speaking of which, my employer has only studied for two or three years, and he has already risen from a commoner to a scholar. He is also very confident in this provincial examination and will definitely win the first place."
"That's really impressive." Song Jingyun nodded repeatedly, "Then let me say congratulations first."
"Congratulations." The middle-aged man saw that Song Jingyun's words sounded nice, so he stuffed some more money into his and Jiang Mixia's hands and said, "It seems that you, my dear, are also a candidate for the exam. I hope that you can pass the exam this time."
"Thank you for your good words." Song Jingyun's face was full of smiles, "But I don't know who your master is?"
Before the provincial examination, candidates in the city would gather together many times to study and discuss examination questions. Basically, even if they did not know each other, most of them had met each other before, and those who had not met each other would have heard of each other.
Song Jingyun had never heard of such a person as the one the man described, and was quite curious for the moment.
"My employer is Song Jingyun from Fengyang County." The middle-aged man said proudly, "Mr. Song was once a top three scholar in the imperial examination. He is very famous. You should have heard of him."
Song Jingyun, "..."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
I never thought that one day I would end up eating the melon on my head! "Is there any misunderstanding about this matter?" Song Jingyun scratched his head and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Misunderstanding? What does that mean?" The middle-aged man became more and more surprised.
"What I mean is, the one who hired you to distribute wedding money and candy wasn't Song Jingyun, right?"
"How could that be possible? The employer was very generous and told us clearly that he was Song Jingyun from Fengyang County, Mr. Song. I chatted with him for quite a while and found that he was a scholar with good character and humble and polite speech. That's why I led people to take on this job. How could it be wrong?"
The middle-aged man looked Song Jingyun up and down, "Who are you and why do you say that my employer is not Song Jingyun?"
"Because..." Song Jingyun scratched his head again, "Because I am Song Jingyun from Fengyang County."
Middle-aged man, "..."
"So, you are our employer." Another young man who was handing out wedding money, a slightly younger man, came over.
"What nonsense are you talking about." The middle-aged man reached out and knocked on his head. "Our employer is not this person."
After that, he looked at Song Jingyun, "Your name is Song Jingyun too?"
"That's right." Song Jingyun nodded.
"Could it be that they are people with the same name and surname?" The middle-aged man was extremely surprised. "A county town is not big, but it is not small either. It is not impossible for people with the same name and surname to exist."
"But among all the scholars in Fengyang County, I am the only one named Song Jingyun. Add to that the little Sanyuan you mentioned, it is even more impossible that he could be someone else." Song Jingyun answered affirmatively.
"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned, "What's going on..."
The person who hired him to do the work and give out wedding money claimed to be Song Jingyun from Fengyang County, and the person in front of him also claimed to be Song Jingyun from Fengyang County.
What is going on?
"Uncle, is there anyone in this world who is willing to spend his own money to leave a reputation for others?"
On the way back, the young man asked the middle-aged man in confusion.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of leaving a good reputation."
"Why not? When giving wedding money to people, anyone who receives the money and hears about it will definitely praise the person for being kind and generous. His reputation will definitely spread far and wide, and he doesn't even have to spend his own money. How great is that?"
"Then have you ever thought about this? Now that the results have not been announced, someone has let us know that Mr. Song has passed the exam and publicized it so loudly. If Mr. Song has passed the exam, it's fine. But if Mr. Song is not the first place, or even not on the list, how will others view Mr. Song?"
"Then they will definitely say that Mr. Song is blindly arrogant, boastful, and shameless."
"So..."
This doesn't mean that someone wants to help Song Jingyun.
But someone wants to harm Song Jingyun!
Want to completely ruin Song Jingyun's reputation.
That's why we spent a huge amount of money to ask them to make such a scene.
And they took on the job without checking it thoroughly.
Even if they really didn't know, they were still largely responsible for Mr. Song's embarrassment at that time.
Scholars value reputation and fame the most. If Mr. Song is a stubborn person who can't get over it...
The consequences are disastrous!
The person who hired them to do this is also very hateful. In order to harm others, he actually came up with such a sinister trick!
People like this will not have a good ending! Jiang Mixia was also angry.
I was so angry that I couldn't even eat.
"Madam, calm down." Seeing this, Song Jingyun placed the freshly cooked wontons in front of Jiang Mixia and said, "Eat some wontons to calm down."
Jiang Mixia did not refuse the young son-in-law's kindness and took a spoon to scoop up the wontons. However, she really had no appetite and could only hold her chin and sigh, "I really don't know who would do such a thing."
"No matter who he is, it's his money that's being spent." Song Jingyun said with a smile.
"He spent his own money, but it was your reputation that was damaged."
"Really?" Song Jingyun scratched his head, "Why do I feel like you helped me?"
Huhu, due to health reasons, I haven't updated the Little Son-in-law for a long time, I'm really sorry~ I'm basically much better now, no longer have a fever, but the cough hasn't healed yet. Because of the fever for several days, I still feel a little dizzy. I will slowly pick myself up and continue to update. If I'm in good condition, I will write more, if I'm not, I will write less, but if there are no accidents, I will update more or less~ (End of this chapter)
