"This Young Master Wu is really lucky. First, he deserted the battlefield and did not take part in the provincial examination. Later, his father was promoted and he was exempted from the provincial examination. Moreover, not long after he arrived in Beijing, he was noticed by the third lady and became the son-in-law of the Ji family. The third lady even spent a fortune on him!" The scholars in the crowd who came from far away to take part in the Spring Examination felt very jealous and envious.
"Who says not? That brother of the Ji family is the Minister of State. After the Spring Examination, when it comes to assigning positions, won't all the good ones fall on Young Master Wu's head?"
"I heard that the third girl is a beauty of the country."
"Yes, I've never heard of Master Wu before. Am I just ignorant?"
"No, that Young Master Wu was indeed just an ordinary person before. I don't know how the Third Miss of the Ji Family came to like him."
These scholars came from thousands of miles away, and although they said to the outside world that they were doing so for their ambitions, what they really wanted was nothing more than to get a government position in the capital, make some money to live a good life, and then marry a beautiful wife.
As a result, Wu Weian has everything. How can they not be jealous?
One scholar couldn't help but ask, "Does Master Wu compare to Pan An in appearance?"
"No, no, if he was as handsome as Pan An, it would be fine. But he just has an ordinary appearance, just a little taller and a little whiter." A young man from a certain family who had met Wu Weian at the snow banquet before the New Year replied.
Everyone shook their heads, unable to understand why.
"I heard that the third young lady went to a gambling house and spent tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver just to get the reputation of Master Wu." Someone winked, "But I don't believe that Master Wu can get first place. Pah, let alone first place, I don't think he can even get into the palace examination!"
"But you forgot, who is that Master Ji?"
"That's right. Even if he passed the Spring Examination, the Palace Examination is personally selected by the Emperor, so Young Master Wu wouldn't be able to get the first place!"
"That's true. I really don't know what kind of magic potion Master Wu gave to the Ji family. He actually made the Ji family lose so much money for no reason just for a moment of pleasure!"
Just when everyone was talking about Wu Weian, Wu Weian was in Ji Yunxi's carriage.
Ji Yunxi has always done well in these aspects. She got up early and went to the Wu family in person to pick up her money tree and the money tree's younger brother.
Wu Weining sat very respectfully near the door, reading a book in his hand.
On the side, Wu Weian took the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Do you have a mirror?"
Ji Yunxi felt a little sleepy. Upon hearing this, she bent down and opened the secret compartment at her feet.
The secret compartment is quite large and contains a lot of things, mostly women's dressing supplies.
The best makeup powder, rouge, forehead paint, lipstick, etc., as well as a small and exquisite hand mirror with feather human pattern.
Ji Yunxi handed over the hand mirror with the feathered human pattern. Wu Weian took it and used it to look at his face from top to bottom, left to right.
Ji Yunxi: “?”
She frowned slightly, watching Wu Weian looking in the mirror, and subconsciously looked at his face.
Everyone is concerned about appearance, and Ji Yunxi is no exception.
Of course, she also likes good-looking men. For example, the reason she dotes on her sixth brother is largely because of his superior facial features: large, bright eyes, long, curled eyelashes, pale pink lips, and fair skin. When he looks at you with his bright eyes, he really looks like a well-proportioned dog.
As for Wu Wei'an, none of his facial features, taken individually, could be described as exceptional; they were all quite average. His eyes were neither too big nor too small, his eyelashes neither too long nor too short; everything fell right within the acceptable range.
No one would say he is handsome, but no one would say he is ugly either.
Coupled with his height, his figure that looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed, and his fair skin without any blemishes, he can actually be favored by many girls in modern times.
Of course, these are under his normal circumstances.
If I were to act out that shy young wife look, no girl would like it.
Looking in the mirror, Wu Weian sighed and said to Ji Yunxi, "For the past month, I've been going to bed late and getting up early every day, and I only sleep for three or four hours at most."
Ji Yunxi had no idea what he was up to. She stared at him quietly and said four words calmly, "Oh, thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, it's really hard work." Wu Wei'an was never polite. "You said I worked so hard, but how come I still look so good and don't have any bruises on my eyes?"
After saying that, I still felt a little distressed.
Ji Yunxi picked up the cup and took a sip: "Sixth brother comes to your place every day."
What she meant was that her sixth brother gave all the nourishing herbs to Wu Weian, and provided him with good food and drink every day, so isn't it normal for him to have a good complexion?
For example, most of the Danzhi went into Wu Weian's stomach.
Danzhi is the best natural treasure, it can easily remove dark circles.
When Wu Weian heard Ji Yunxi mention Ji Mingyan, he paused subconsciously when he was about to get a cup of tea.
The food and drinks her sixth brother sent over were indeed nutritious and expensive, but not everyone could afford them.
Wu Weian now has no idea what normal food looks like or tastes like.
He sighed, "Yunniang, please lend me your cosmetics. Thank you."
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and didn't ask what he wanted to do. She bent down and took out a brand new box of powder and handed it to him.
Wu Wei'an took it, opened the powder cover, put some on with his fingertips, tested it on the back of his hand, and shook his head slightly: "The color is not right, do you have other colors?"
Ji Yunxi was annoyed. She never liked to serve others. Handing him things twice was already her limit, so she simply moved aside and said, "Get it yourself."
Wu Weian responded with a "yes", stood up readily, walked steadily to the opposite side, and sat down on the ground in front of the secret compartment.
Ji Yunxi was sitting next to her. Whenever she went out, she would dress up.
It's because her clothes are all the most expensive, and no matter how she wears them, she looks formal.
