Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 377 The Difficult Mother

"Hey hey hey..."

Some officials couldn't help laughing.

We have already selected the candidates and are just waiting for Lord Xu.

If Lord Xu does not appear at the Grace and Honor Banquet, a banquet should be held in the capital tomorrow, and Lord Xu should be invited to be a guest.

Lord Xu is looking forward to the visit.

The officials in need have already smiled at Xu Jinyu.

And Xu Jinyu did not disappoint everyone's expectations and started counting on his fingers.

[Well, the number one scholar is married at his age, the third scholar should get married, and the runner-up probably has grandchildren. Let me see the next scholar.]

[Eighteen, twenty-two, thirty, thirty-one... How come they are getting older and older? No wonder the emperor chose a grinning Tanhua scholar. There was really no one else to choose from. Otherwise, everyone would have seen a Tanhua scholar with a face full of wrinkles.]

Emperor Xuan, who was sitting in the high pavilion, laughed. He also came to the banquet but did not show up. If he showed up, everyone would be restrained. It would be better for him to sit in the high pavilion and watch the excitement below.

Wherever Xu Jinyu is, there will definitely be excitement.

"That little bastard Xu Jinyu finally understood my difficulties."

The crown prince, who was sitting at the same table with him, said to Emperor Xuan with a smile, "I don't know where Xu Jinyu got the idea that anyone who is a third place winner must have an outstanding appearance. I, Daqian, don't place that much importance on the appearance of officials."

Emperor Xuan: "It must be that TV. It doesn't teach children good things."

The prince smiled but said nothing. He didn't know anything about TV, but he knew why his father came here. He had the same purpose.

"Father, how many good men do you think Xu Jinyu can pick out today?"

"this······"

Emperor Xuan touched his chin.

"It shouldn't be many. Have you forgotten what Xu Jinyu said? Most of the loyal people are butchers, and most of the unfaithful people are scholars. I never have any hope for the integrity of these scholars."

The prince stared at his father with wide eyes, wondering what it meant to never have any hope in the integrity of scholars.

Seeing his son like this, Emperor Xuan laughed and said, "Son, if all the scholars were moral gentlemen, there would be no need for an emperor like me. The world would have been peaceful long ago."

"Just look down!"

The prince didn't quite understand what Emperor Xuan said, but he still obediently looked towards the Enrong Banquet below.

Xu Jinyu has already counted to the 32nd place in the second class.

【Ah~~~Finally, someone who is not married has come. It is really hard to pass the imperial examination.】

【Let me see what kind of person he is? 】

The Inspectorate's Experienced Officer quietly stood beside the thirty-second person in the second class, ready to snatch him away at any time. This good son-in-law needs to be snatched away, otherwise why would there be a saying of catching a son-in-law from the list.

[The family was simple, with only an old mother at home, and the elder sister had already married. The family also had dozens of acres of land, so they were not extremely poor.]

[There are only two people in the family, which is good. After she gets married, she can be the head of the family directly. She doesn’t have to worry about the elders or take care of the family. The couple can live a simple life. ]

Even more officials were ready to make a move. Not to mention how talented this Jinshi was, the purpose of marrying off a daughter of a lower status was to make her live a comfortable life, and this candidate was just right.

Li Feng saw a superior looking at him with satisfaction, thinking that his performance had caught his eye. At this time, he had to quickly curry favor with him. There was no reason to let a superior befriend him.

"Greetings, sir. I am Li Feng from Huzhou."

Inspectorate Experience: "Li Feng, you passed the imperial examination at the age of 20. You are really promising at a young age. I wonder if you are married?"

Li Feng's eyes sparkled with surprise, and he asked about his marital status, whether it meant that this gentleman wanted to take him as a son-in-law. As expected, he was not right when he got married, and the overwhelming wealth came.

"No, no! I was so focused on studying that I couldn't take care of anything else. I only have a widowed mother and a few dozen acres of land at home..."

Li Feng told all about his marriage in one breath. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he could have directly said to the inspector general, "Sir, choose me! Choose me! I have a clean background and am the best choice for your son-in-law."

The Inspectorate's Experienced Officer couldn't help but frown when he heard what Li Feng said. He seemed a little too eager and too utilitarian.

Not good, not very good.

The Inspectorate retreated, and another official immediately followed and started talking to Li Feng.

For a moment, Li Feng was submerged in the crowd of officials, as if he was dreaming.

【Is there anyone who is interested in this Jinshi? 】

Have!

Have!

there must be!

Officials who had daughters waiting to get married wanted to shout loudly.

This is the top-ranked unmarried scholar, so of course someone has his eyes on him, but now everyone doesn't trust their own judgment a little bit, and they are waiting for Xu Jinyu to take a look at him before making a decision.

[Wow! There are quite a few people who like her. Let me see if this mother-in-law is easy to get along with. If she is, I can tell these people about her.]

[It's bad. This mother-in-law is not easy to get along with. She is good at crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide. If her son doesn't do what she wants, she will throw a white silk on the beam. Her catchphrase is, "What are you going to do? If you don't go, I will die immediately."]

[This scholar has not married at this age, and his mother took great credit for it. The old lady felt that her son would not listen to her after getting married, so she cried and made a fuss, ruining several marriages of this scholar.]

[This scholar's scalp tingles when he sees his mother. ]

"Swish!"

The officials around Li Feng retreated immediately.

They don't want families like this.

However, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Li Feng, asking in a loud voice: "Li Feng, right? I like you!"

Li Feng shuddered with fear.

Look... look... I like him, but he doesn't have such a hobby. How can he be so open about it in the officialdom? Just... ask him openly.

Seeing Li Feng like this, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War suddenly became angry: "Why are you trembling? Let me tell you..."

"Hey, Brother Jiang, please explain clearly."

Jiang Hai: "What do you mean? Isn't it just to let him be..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Hai reacted immediately.

This Li Feng misunderstood what I thought of him, but it wasn't really a misunderstanding, it was just that I didn't explain it clearly.

I had no choice but to talk to Li Feng nicely: "I have a daughter who is a few years younger than you. How about you be my son-in-law?"

how about it?

Of course it is.

Li Feng agreed hurriedly, fearing that if he agreed too late, he would not be able to become the son-in-law of a high-ranking official.

[No! I want to remind Mr. Jiang.]

Zuo Yuanying: There is really no need to remind me. Didn’t you see that no one in the court, whether civil or military, reminded me? Instead, I felt a sense of relief that the burden had finally been lifted.

[Hey! No need to remind me, Jiang Hai's daughter is more powerful than Li Feng's mother. The one who is best at this is my father, Jiang Hai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. If mentioning her father's name doesn't work, then Miss Jiang can roll up her sleeves and do it herself.]

[Li Feng is going to be in trouble. An unreasonable mother and a woman with outstanding fighting power. These two women will definitely make Li Feng very anxious.]

All officials: Smile reservedly.

Mr. Jiang's daughter was finally able to get married.

Don't worry, everyone will take care of Li Feng in his future career. After all, if Miss Jiang doesn't marry Li Feng, she will have to marry one of the families present here.

Li Feng did good things, and everyone will really take care of her.

The first marriage was settled, and everyone looked at Xu Jinyu, waiting for the second one. The concubine's daughter in everyone's family was not young at all.

[Next is the 42nd person in Class 2, who is not bad looking, but unfortunately he already has a wife.]

The forty-two good-looking members of the second class were trying their best to deal with the officials. They had to say a few words in front of each of them, showing that they were very good at dancing with the sleeves.

Especially that face, which is fair and smooth, and looks very pleasing at first glance.

Several officials were already tempted, but when they heard Xu Jinyu said he already had a wife, they gave up the idea.

[Wait! Not only does he have a wife, he has three wives. The first two wives were fine, so how did he marry the third wife? ]
