In front of the screen wall of Gongyuan.
Seeing that he had won the Huiyuan, Wei Chen was also overjoyed. He was about to turn around to share the joy with Sheng Changbai, but saw Sheng Changbai silently taking two steps back next to him, as if he was unfamiliar with us.
Wei Chen was still wondering, but a group of servants like wolves and tigers had already surrounded him. An old man stepped forward tentatively and asked, "May I ask, are you Wei Chen and Wei Xingyun?"
"I am."
Wei Chen nodded subconsciously and immediately realized something was wrong.
Oops!
Forgot to manage your expressions!
He must have been overjoyed when he saw the list just now, which attracted the army of son-in-law hunters who were watching eagerly.
"Is your Excellency really Jinke Huiyuan Wei Xingyun?"
When the old man heard Wei Chen's admission, he was immediately overjoyed. He held Wei Chen's hand excitedly and said, "You are indeed a rare young man! I wonder if you can visit me at my humble residence when you have time?"
Wei Chen withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly: "This old man, you and I have never met each other, right?"
The old man laughed and said, "Don't panic, young master. My surname is Gao. I live in Bianjing. I have been running a herbal medicine shop on Mahang Street for many years. The family's wealth is not only one million, but also one hundred thousand. Now I am over half a century old. I only have one daughter at my knees. I play chess, calligraphy and painting." He knows everything, and his appearance is astonishing. I wonder if you would like to become my son-in-law by riding a dragon for my family?"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Before the old man could finish speaking, another group of people who heard the news gathered around him.
When Wei Chen heard the terms, he thought, "Good guys, everyone is great."
Businessmen are considered to be at the lowest level, and military commanders and lords are just average. Although the royal family members are prominent, their futures can be seen at a glance, and they are not very popular here in Xinke Gongshi.
The most confident ones belong to the families of officials.
Of course, it also depends on the family background, official rank, and whether it is noble or noble. These conditions are almost the same, let’s compare the richness of the dowry.
Dozens of people squeezed Wei Chen in the middle, all talking about their homes, and Wei Chen felt like his head was buzzing.
When he saw someone quietly taking out a large sack not far away, Wei Chen suddenly became excited and shouted at the top of his lungs: "There is chaff in the house, there is chaff in the house!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell silent in an instant. People who had been arguing enthusiastically just now shook their heads, sighed, and dispersed.
Just now, the old man surnamed Gao, who was worth hundreds of thousands, happened to pass by Sheng Changbai. He was the first to come and saw that Sheng Changbai had been standing with Wei Chen before, so he couldn't help but ask more: "I wonder if the young master has passed the tribute examination? "
Sheng Changbai had no expression on his face and asked, "Do you think I look like I passed the imperial examination?"
The old man surnamed Gao looked at Sheng Changbai from head to toe.
The appearance and age are not bad, but the wooden expression does not look like what he should look like after passing the exam.
He shook his head at that moment, abandoned Sheng Changbai, and turned around to find another entrance examination scholar who was dancing happily.
"Zecheng, you are so uninteresting. Are you really not worried that I will be put in a sack and carried away?"
Wei Chen, who finally escaped, was completely disgraced and was naturally very dissatisfied with Sheng Changbai's behavior of watching the fire from across the bank.
"Don't be afraid. Isn't there a bad family in Xingyun?" Sheng Changbai teased, with a rare smile on his face.
Wei Chen shook his head helplessly, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, how many hits did our Jingxi Club get this time?"
"Eleven, most of the unmarried ones were taken away. There are still twelve..."
Talking about the failed members, Sheng Changbai couldn't help but sigh softly.
A total of twenty-three people from the Jingxi Society participated in this examination, and 11 out of the 23 were successful, nearly half of them. This probability is extremely shocking no matter where it is placed.
But seeing the loneliness written on the faces of those friends in the club who had studied together in the past, Sheng Changbai could not let go after all.
"11 out of 23, if you tell me that your jaw will drop, what else is there to be satisfied with?"
Of course Wei Chen understood Sheng Changbai's feelings. He stepped forward, patted Sheng Changbai's shoulder gently, and said comfortingly: "Those who can join our Jingxi Society are all people with tenacity and perseverance. I believe they will be able to make a comeback. Start all over again.”
…
The next day the results will be released.
It rained heavily in Bianjing.
Spring rain is as precious as oil. With this spring rain, the spring drought in Bianjing and near can finally be alleviated a little.
Many people attributed this timely rain to the joy of releasing the results of the National Examination, and thought that the new candidates in this list made God happy, so they sent this spring rain to congratulate them.
In front of the home of Wei Chen, the representative of Xinke Gongshi, there was already a different scene.
There were cars and horses parked in front of the door, and many people came to the door holding umbrellas to ask for a meeting. In fact, most of them were women with yellow ribbons in their buns. Such attire meant they were matchmakers.
Among the new Gongshi or future Jinshi in this list, no one can compare with Wei Chen in terms of conditions.
At the age of fifteen, he won five yuan in a row. He was tall and handsome, and he was from the Han family. He was simply the best son-in-law in the eyes of those wealthy families.
No, early in the morning, while the rain was still pounding outside, the Wei Mansion received a dozen matchmakers.
Although Wei Chen excused himself by saying that he had a marriage contract, the matchmakers still stepped through the threshold of the Wei mansion regardless.
With Wei Chen's conditions, let alone an engagement, even if they are already married, they can divorce and remarry!
In fact, after every imperial examination, the Jinshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty would set off a trend of divorcing their wives. The so-called wife of a bad man would not go to court, which was actually a virtue possessed by a few people.
Moreover, Wei Chen was born in the Han family, which meant that even if he had been engaged before, his family status would not be too high. Now that Wei Chen has won the Hui Yuan, the identity gap between men and women has widened, which is the best time to pry a corner.
Therefore, many matchmakers come to Wei Mansion with confidence.
A group of matchmakers blocked the door of Wei's house and chattered non-stop. Wei Chen was so annoyed that he had to close the door and hide with Zhuang Jun in Sheng's house.
Even if it rains, a large courtyard like the Sheng family is still busy with people coming in and out. The maids hold oil-paper umbrellas smeared with red ink and walk between the white walls and black tiles.
Wei Chen first sent Zhuang Jun to Shou'an Hall to talk to the old lady, and then he walked through many pavilions and pavilions and came to the outside of the school.
Hearing the sound of books inside, Wei Chen smiled slightly, put away his umbrella and handed it to the maid on the side, patted the raindrops on his body and raised his head, then stepped in.
"The young gentleman came to see us!"
Sheng Changfeng was the first to see Wei Chen and immediately let out a cheer of surprise.
Mo Lan, who was reciting poems to Qi Heng, Ru Lan, who was immersed in solving an arithmetic problem, Ming Lan, who seemed to be practicing calligraphy but was actually in a daze, and Qi Heng, who was just peeking at Ming Lan, all turned back to Wei. Chen looked over.
Sheng Changbai was still studying in his study room. Each of these students in the school could be considered a student taught by Wei Chen.
Seeing these familiar faces, Wei Chen suddenly felt that all his worries had disappeared, and he asked with a smile: "How have your homework been recently? You haven't been lazy during my absence, have you?"
