Chapter 296 296. Got married? !
"Miss, my servant has already inquired clearly!"
Xi'er ran all the way into the backyard of Song Mansion in such a loud voice that Song Chan'er, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, almost got scratched by the gold hairpin in her hand. Neck.
She was just about to get angry, but she was startled immediately after hearing Xi'er's words clearly, surprise bursting out of her arrogant eyes.
"Have you found out, so quickly? Come on, tell me what's going on with Shen Xingluo?"
Huh-huh-
Xi'er breathed for a long time before she calmed down, and then she narrated clearly what she had asked about.
"The top name in this examination is Shen Xingluo. His ancestral home is a place called Shenjia Village in Lin'an Prefecture. He is a student of Huaiyuan Academy. It is said that he is a rare genius in Lin'an Prefecture in a hundred years"
The information about Shen Xingluo is not difficult to find out. Before the examination, his name had a certain reputation among the students who were rushing to take the exam. Both his handsome appearance and his own talent made him stand out among the crowd. Now that he has won the top spot, he is even more popular. The students in Lin'an Mansion are proud of him. They look proud and talk about his deeds when they meet everyone, as if they are talking about themselves.
In less than half a day, his many deeds from childhood to adulthood were spread throughout the capital.
"This Huiyuan is so powerful?"
The more she listened, the brighter her eyes became. Thinking of the young and handsome face she saw that day, her chest suddenly jumped, and her little face couldn't help but change. Get crimson.
Next to her, Xi'er took in the changes in her master. Her originally happy mood suddenly became heavy, and her expression gradually became weird.
"Miss."
"What's wrong?"
Song Chan'er hadn't noticed anything strange about her yet, and was still immersed in the news she just heard, "Is there anything else about that Shen Xingluo? He was disfigured and miraculously met a miracle doctor?"
Isn’t this experience too unusual? Even so, being able to enter Beijing and pass the Huiyuan exam is simply God's favorite, and he will definitely become a very popular minister in the future.
"My servant did find out some other things about this Huiyuan."
"Say quickly!"
"He is married."
"."
Song Chan'er's bright little face suddenly froze in place, and the arrogance that had been put away emerged again.
“Get married, actually get married? Isn’t that person only 19 years old?!”
19 years old is really too young for a scholar with a good reputation, who can continue to work like Shen Xingluo theory of two elements It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius, but whether in the capital or outside the capital, there are very few people at this age who have never been married. Whether they are wealthy or not, they will pay attention to the inheritance of their children and make lifelong decisions for the younger generation early. .
It is reasonable, but unexpected.
"We're married."
Song Chan'er suddenly felt her heart congested, "How can a poor boy like him marry a good wife? Could it be that she is a village girl?"
"Not a village girl, but a fellow from Lin'an Prefecture." The students who came to take the exam said that Shen Huiyuan Married to the daughter of a warrior. "
"What!"
A surprised female voice came from a small courtyard in the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but the same was heard from the Minister's Mansion two streets away. There were also people who listened to the maid asking for news about her return.
Xie Zhi held the embroidered handkerchief in her hand thoughtfully, "In this case, Shen Huiyuan is also a talent." "He is just a child from a poor family, so what if he wins Huiyuan? He has no connections in this capital, let alone a first-class person. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to pass the second grade exam.”
The maid next to her curled her lips. , some did not take it seriously, "There are quite a few children from aristocratic families participating in the scientific examination this year. There are many children from the Yun family in Zhuozhou City, the Lin family in Jiangnan, the Bai family in Yunzhou, and the Imperial Academy in Beijing. There are twenty or thirty people in total." ”
Although some people ranked low in this examination, haven’t they not yet had the imperial examination? At that time, if a certain adult says something to His Majesty, is it not easy to get a good ranking?
Her young lady is the daughter of a third-rank official and is famous for her talents. How can she be matched by a young man from a poor family, not to mention that Mr. Shen is already married.
Xie Zhi didn't know what the maid was thinking, so she sat at the table and sighed.
“It seems we can only find another way.”
***
The Shen family is very lively today.
Since breakfast in the morning, people in the small courtyard have been coming to give gifts to congratulate Shen Xingluo for winning the first place.
Although the Shen family is not from the capital, they have met a lot of people since they entered the capital. The Du family, the Jiang family and the Qin family specially sent their housekeepers to show their attention. Qin Zheng also sent a separate gift on behalf of the third room and himself. After one portion came over, the whole yard was filled with all kinds of gift boxes, and everything was covered with food and clothing.
The Wu'an Marquis' Mansion sent an ordinary-looking guard over. He was a guard who could not be picked out at a glance in the crowd. He was very low-key, but the gift he sent was also the most precious.
"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, these are some small gifts prepared by my young master and young lady. Please don't dislike them."
The other party looked apologetic, "Master has not found out yet. The person behind the assassination did not come in person for fear of causing harm to you two. I hope Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen will forgive me. "
I don't dislike it, I really don't dislike it.
Cheng Xi looked at the luminous pearls and gold and silver jewels in the brocade box in front of her and twitched her lips. If Qu Shaojing's bodyguards hadn't been there before her, she would have been stunned, okay?
Okay, I know your master is sincere, really.
The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is really wealthy.
Shen Xingluo glanced at him and was surprised, but his face didn't show it, "How was the injury of the young marquis last time?"
"It's healed now. Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your concern. ”
After the two sides exchanged a few polite words, the guard excused himself on the grounds that he still had something to do. He took the two jars of fruit wine from Su Zhan as a return gift and quickly left the Shen family courtyard.
Cheng Xi handed the brocade box to Wang Shu beside him and looked sideways at Shen Xingluo.
"Qu Shaojing's handiwork is so generous. Those who didn't know would have thought you had already won the first prize."
It's just a member of the club, so just give me something to congratulate you. Okay, are you so willing to spend money?
“More than just a gift.”
Shen Xingluo thought thoughtfully, "Last time in the suburbs of Beijing, we warned him to be wary of people in the mansion. He must have found something useful."
"It turned out to be a thank you gift."
Cheng Xi understood clearly, "It seems that we guessed it right. The Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not as peaceful as it seems."
But this is someone else's business after all. It's enough to help if you encounter it. It's already over the line to interfere with it anymore. The friendship is really not that great.
The excitement in the Shen family continued. In addition to a few people he met in Beijing, several students from Yu Heting and Lin'an Prefecture also sent gifts, and Cheng Xi all responded equally to them with fruit wine.
She divided the fruit wine in the space into two types, one was a two-pound black jar for returning gifts, and the other was a half-pound exquisite wine bottle for Su Zhan to give as gifts to Shen Xingluo's classmates and friends who were on the list. Go, I was busy collecting and delivering gifts until noon.
