These people from the Tong family would only kill people if they didn't take action.
In just two days, the story of how Tong Ling'er bullied other members of the Tong family, forced the mistress of the Tong family to leave home, and how she finally refused to marry her because the person she fell in love with has spread, and her reputation has skyrocketed. Falling from the clouds in the morning.
Two days have passed and the rankings for the palace examination have been released. Su Jian ranked fourth. Shi Huixin was ahead of the general examination, ranking ninth. The top pick was undoubtedly Zhuo Jiu, the son of Wensihou family. The second place was a third-ranking scholar. Mr. Teenager.
As for Tanhua Lang, he is a son-in-law of the Jiangzhou clan. He is good at writing articles. He is only nineteen years old this year. He is also handsome and elegant, with a jade tree facing the wind, so he deserves the reputation of Tanhualang.
After the results of the imperial examination were announced, the No. 1 scholar wore a No. 1 scholar uniform and rode across the street with red flowers. After that, he began to arrange for the newcomers of this year, the No. 1 scholar, the second scholar, and the third best scholar to enter the Hanlin Academy. The rest also had their own arrangements.
Some will stay in the Imperial City and enter various departments, while others will be assigned to various places to serve as colleagues and deputies.
Su Jian went to the Ministry of War, and Shi Huixin also successfully stayed in the Imperial City, where he became a doctor of the Imperial College and became an eighth-rank official.
After he went to the Imperial College to report, the marriage was quickly settled. The person chosen was the second daughter of Cao Shilang, the minister of household affairs. Since the announcement of the imperial examination, Cao Shilang had contacted him if he wanted to marry his second daughter to him.
He is a gentle and kind-hearted woman this time, but she is already eighteen years old this year. She was originally going to get married three years ago, but her mother was seriously ill and passed away, which delayed her life. This year, it is the period of filial piety, and it is the year of spring. Thinking of finding a good son-in-law among them.
When Shi wrote back and heard about this, he was also a little moved, so he shamelessly went to Jinning Duke's Mansion to ask about Miss Cao. When Mrs. Wang heard that he was interested, she naturally helped to inquire about Miss Cao, and learned that this Miss Cao didn't have any problem, so she took the opportunity to help become the matchmaker.
It was already April 13th when Shiqiao Village received the news. Shi wrote back and told Li Lin about his engagement, and asked Shi Chongshan and Zhou to go to the Imperial City to discuss the marriage.
Shi Huixin didn't know that Su Xun had caused trouble in the Shi family and forced the Zhou family to recite sutras and become a vegetarian for eighty-one days, so he directly asked Shi Chongshan and the Zhou family to go to the imperial city.
Calculating the time, just two months have passed since that agreement, and there are still nearly twenty days left.
The Shi family happily packed their things after receiving Shi's reply, thinking about what kind of betrothal gift they should prepare to please their future daughter-in-law. Su Wan was lying on a deck chair in the yard, shaking her fan and listening to Kidney Dou's chanting. Storybook.
Her voice was clear, very brisk but ups and downs when she was reading, which made Su Wan very comfortable to listen to. Moreover, she seemed to be curious about many things, chattering and lively, and her words were also very pleasing.
Su Wan likes her very much and likes to keep her by his side.
Although she also likes maids who are well behaved and attentive, she also likes maids like Kidney who always please her, as if her life is not so boring anymore.
Kidney Bean is also a hard-working person, like a little bee every day, helping to do this and that, wanting to learn this and that, which frightens Shanwu Zhucui and the other two, wishing they could do more things, lest they be replaced one day. .
Xiao Sang sat on the embroidered pier nearby, shaking his fan and drinking tea.
After the storybook was finished, they talked about the happy events of the Shi family. Kidney beans also learned a little about the grudges between the Shi family and Su Wan. They heard that they were going to the Imperial City to fight against Su Wan.
"They treat the things they promised in the past as if they no longer exist. The Shi family really can't wait to go to the Imperial City to get engaged to the Shi family's young master, but they still have to say it."
Xiao Sang said: "It's okay not to say anything. Madam's bento doesn't exist, so as not to be unhappy."
Su Wan said: "I think there is something wrong. When I asked her to chant sutras and become a vegetarian, I didn't ask her to stay in the village."
Xiao Sang thought for a moment, and it seemed to be the same reason: "Then let them go, let's just pretend we don't know."
"Speaking of which, if Mrs. Shi was smarter, she should ask the princess what kind of betrothal gift she should prepare."
After all, marrying a noble daughter from an official family is not something you can do just by giving some betrothal gifts. If you don't do it well, you will make your in-laws unhappy and you will be embarrassed.
Su Wan said: "Of course they don't need to ask me. Your young master must have told them. If they need to know about the betrothal gift, they can ask Mr. Song."
Li Lin would naturally think of this question, and he probably didn't want them to bother Su Wan. It would be better for them to ask Song Zhan directly. Song Zhan also came from a poor family and married a noble daughter of an official family, so it would be more or less the same as him.
Speaking of which, when Song Zhan and Qu Lingzhu got married, it was Su Wan who helped out and found a lady's reference for the betrothal gift, which made the marriage successful.
Xiao Sang thought about it. If this was true, the Shi family would naturally not come.
At this moment, someone hurriedly came to the door to report: "Madam, there are guests in the house. Master, please go out."
"Come in and talk."
The guard who came to report strode in from the door, clasped his fists and bowed to Su Wan: "It's a few old gentlemen, Mr. Fu Yin from Lanzhou City, and Mr. Zhitong from Guiyan City. A few of them are here. For the sake of Shiqiao Academy, I heard that the princess was here, so I came to pay a visit."
Su Wan remembered what he had heard at the Xie family before, saying that someone wanted to make Stone Bridge Academy bigger, but because the dean of Stone Bridge Academy didn't agree, he hired someone to persuade him.
"The governor of Lanzhou is also here?" Su Wan was a little surprised that the incident at Shiqiao Academy actually alarmed the governor.
The visitor said: "Here we come, Lord Fu Yin's wife is also here."
Su Wan nodded: "I'll be there in a moment."
After the guards left, Su Wan entered the inner room, and several people moved quickly, choosing clothes for her, combing her hair, and putting on makeup.
In just one stick of incense, she changed from a leisurely, gentle and comfortable woman to a dignified and gentle princess.
Since she was here to visit her, she had to take up the card of being the princess so as not to be underestimated.
After finishing the sorting, she took people to the outer courtyard. At this moment, the group of people were crowded in the tea room. Li Lin was drinking tea and talking with everyone. Shi Chongshan was accompanying them. The voices of people in the room could be heard from time to time. It seemed that It's very lively and the atmosphere is good.
When she came, the gatekeeper opened the door for her. All the eyes inside looked this way. When they saw she was coming, they all stood up and saluted, very respectfully and politely.
"Princess Princess."
"Princess Princess."
"Princess Wenxiao."
