After the banquet, Jia Huan just returned to Jia Mansion and was invited to Rongqing Hall again by Jia's mother.
When the maids and wives saw Jia Huan along the way, they all stopped and said congratulations: "Congratulations to Third Master for being the top scorer in high school!"
Jia Huan nodded and quickly arrived at Rongqing Hall.
Seeing Jia Huan, Jia's mother said happily: "Our champion is back! Come to grandma quickly!"
Jia Huan had no choice but to walk to Jia Mu. Jia Mu took Jia Huan's hand and sighed, "Brother Huan was like a cat that was burned by fire when he was a child. He was very naughty and never learned well."
"Who would have expected that in just a few years, I would win the first prize! This is the biggest happy event in our Jia family in these years! In a few days, our Jia family will have a big banquet for relatives and friends. Girl Feng, what do you and Lian'er think? Now, the invitations must be sent to every house, don’t miss anyone.”
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "My granddaughter-in-law dares not to do her best for what our ancestors have asked us to do? Now that Brother Huan is the top pick in high school, our ancestors are so happy. I say it's too early for our ancestors to be happy."
Jia Mu asked in surprise: "Girl Feng, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Today I am the number one scholar in high school, Brother Huan. In a few years, I will win the prize again, and there will be Brother Lan below me. The time when our ancestors will be happy is still to come!"
After a few words, everyone laughed.
Jia Mu even said: "If this is the case, my Jia family will naturally become more prosperous. The old lady is just waiting for that day. If this is true, the Jia family will be prosperous in the hands of the old lady. Under the nine springs, I also have something to say to the old lady. The Duke of the State has given an explanation."
As she said this, Jia Mu couldn't help but have red eyes and almost shed tears.
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Old ancestor, where are you now? Even if I win the first prize, it will be nothing. In a few days, my Jia family will have great wealth. Some of our ancestors will cry when the time comes. Woolen cloth!"
Jia's mother asked in surprise: "Brother Huan, now that you are the top scorer in high school, it is the most joyful event for my Jia family! Where is the great wealth?"
"You said the same thing before, but you didn't tell the whole story. Today I want you to explain it carefully and clearly."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Old ancestors, we only need to wait patiently for a few months, and we will know for ourselves. Why rush in one day?"
This kind of words without beginning and end made everyone feel more itchy. It's just that Jia Huan beat him to death without saying a word, so everyone had no choice but to give up.
Jia Mu took Jia Huan's hand and said, "Brother Huan, you can't go out tomorrow. You have to receive guests at home. Those close relatives will definitely send people to congratulate you tomorrow."
These relatives and friends of the Jia family are all the connections of the Jia family.
Jia Huan received these people as his concubine, which was a great honor. Of course, after all, they were here to congratulate him on high school, so there was no reason why he should not be allowed to see the guests.
But even so, Mrs. Wang next to her still had a look of resentment on her face. She always felt that Brother Huan had robbed her of all this.
Jia Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor, I'm afraid this won't work, I really won't be free tomorrow."
Jia Mu said unhappily: "At this time, you are not at home, and I don't know what you are busy with?"
Lin Daiyu hurriedly explained from the side: "Grandma, brother Huan will enter the palace tomorrow to be granted a title, and he will have to ride on a horse through the streets, so he will have no time to spare."
"When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be princes and nobles who want to capture their son-in-law and take Brother Huan away as their son-in-law!"
After a few words, everyone laughed.
Jia Huan curled her lips and said, "Sister Lin, I don't know. Catching a son-in-law under the official list was a thing of the past. It's no longer popular now."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "This is strange. I don't know how many young ladies from wealthy families want to marry the number one scholar. How can it be that they are not popular?"
Jia Huan said seriously: "Sister Lin didn't know that many years ago, there was a prime minister's daughter who wanted to marry the number one scholar and vowed not to marry anyone other than the number one scholar."
"The family loved their daughter so much that they had no choice but to accept her. After the girl's wedding ceremony, she really caught a top scholar and came back. For fear of causing further trouble, they actually went to the wedding hall to get married that day and sent her to the bridal chamber that night."
"On the wedding night, after the bridegroom took off the bride's hijab, the daughter of the prime minister's family discovered that the groom was actually a tall, rough man with a full beard, who looked like Lu Zhishen."
"The prime minister's daughter couldn't take a breath, and she fainted from fear. When she woke up, her face was filled with tears, and she committed suicide by hanging herself from a southeastern branch that night."
After hearing this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but said: "Since ancient times, the number one scholar has always been a literary star in the sky. He must be a fair and clean person like Brother Huan. How can there be a rough guy like Lu Zhishen? It can be seen that Brother Huan is talking nonsense."
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Who has determined that the number one scholar must be gentle, elegant, fresh and handsome? Is it possible that the rich and the rich are not allowed to win the number one prize?"
"You must know that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Even Master Confucius made the mistake of judging people by their appearance. He lamented: If you judge a person by his appearance, you will lose his talent."
Wang Xifeng was shaken after speaking. She couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huan, is this really impossible? Is there such a miserable prime minister's daughter in the world?"
Lin Daiyu chuckled and said: "Second sister-in-law, listen to his lies. The number one scholar has to parade through the streets on horseback. Those rich ladies who want to marry the number one scholar will not go to the Royal Street to get a good position in advance."
"They must have had a good idea of the person before they were willing to catch him and get married. Is there any reason to catch the son-in-law without seeing him? Besides, even if the young lady has never seen him, are the rest of the prime minister's family blind?"
"Brother Huan looks like Pan An, and he is better than Song Yu. I don't know how many ladies want to catch him! I'm afraid he won't be able to come back when he rides on a horse tomorrow."
Hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Girl Lin, in this case, it is better to benefit yourself than to benefit others."
"In order to prevent others from capturing Brother Huan tomorrow, how about you simply capture Brother Huan today to pay him a visit and get married into the bridal chamber? If you don't have anyone, I will lend you someone and I will be able to capture Brother Huan. .”
After a while, Lin Daiyu was annoyed. She blushed, stood up and said, "Second sister-in-law, in front of the old lady, madam, what the hell are you saying?"
Wang Xifeng pointed at Jia Huan and said with a smile: "Look at his appearance and magnanimity. Now he is the No. 1 scholar and he has saved a large fortune."
"You can't find such a perfect husband by holding a lantern! Stop dreaming. If you miss this, you will never find such a good one again!"
Next to Lin Daiyu, Zijuan happened to follow.
Hearing this, Zijuan couldn't wait to agree immediately for the young lady, and personally went to catch Jia Huan and send them to the bridal chamber.
Lin Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed, and left without saying a word.
Everyone in the room burst into laughter again.
Jia Huan looked at Wang Xifeng with resentment.
You're joking, why don't you take me with you?
What's even more hateful is, don't just talk, you actually catch me!
