The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Looking at the young man in front of him, Prince An praised in his heart:
Rather a person.

To be honest, he was really led into a misunderstanding by his own daughter before, and he was only paying attention to the proud number one scholar.

But it was negligent. Among the top three in that session, there were still people like Jing Rui.

Especially after Jing Rui's real identity was revealed, Prince An found out that Jing Rui was more suitable to be his son-in-law in addition to the condition of being well-connected.

As the woman's elder, of course Prince An would not say such words lightly. Jing Rui and Li Zhuangyuan, who came from a poor family, had a different growth background.

The means to be used are also different.

Prince An first expressed his feelings, mainly saying that the old county king had worked hard for many years in battles abroad, etc. Jing Rui echoed from the side.

Instead, Prince An said: "Hey, the old county king is well, it is his blessing to have you, a son with outstanding literary talents."

He also said: "Unlike this king, An Le has been spoiled since she was a child, and has a very arrogant temper. Hey, my mother and I are worried, maybe what kind of family this child will find."

For the sake of this, and Wang An directly changed his name, Jing Rui had vaguely understood the other party's intentions.

He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to be blindly confident, so he just cupped his hands and said:

"The younger generation is fortunate to have met the princess. The princess is very well known as a noble daughter in Beijing. Many young ladies are full of praise for the princess."

"Don't you praise her, I don't know my daughter's temper? She has the temper of the eldest lady, and she has to be coaxed by others." He said so modestly, but the smile on Prince An's face kept expanding.

After all, who doesn't know that Princess Anle's temper is all spoiled by Prince An?

Of course, Jing Rui could only follow along with flattering words. For a while, these two princes and county kings of different levels and ages were talking lively when they came and went.

From the beginning to the end, Prince An showed his appreciation for Jing Rui, but he didn't directly put forward his purpose.

Instead, Wang Ye and Jing Rui chatted about other topics.

"After studying hard for ten years, he was able to get a title on the gold list and still be the top three. My nephew is really amazing."

Although there are some things that cannot be said directly, Prince An still expresses his appreciation for Jing Rui in other ways.

"Accept your precious words, this junior is just a fluke." Jing Rui responded politely.

But they didn't know what was going on, and while chatting, the topic turned to Li Xiuping, the number one scholar in that subject.

Jing Rui has a good relationship with Li Xiuping and is very familiar with him;

Because of his selfishness at the time, Prince An deliberately investigated it carefully, so he is no stranger to it.

The old and the young used the topic of praising others, but they chatted more and more happily, and each of them had a little more affection for each other in their hearts.

What Wang Ye thought in his heart was that this young man is rare to be a good man, but he is meticulous, cautious and neither arrogant nor impetuous, which is very good;
What Jing Rui thought was that Wang An was hiding his clumsiness as he had guessed before.

There is obviously an age difference between the old and the young, and they have never dealt with each other before.

It's rare now, and we chat vigorously, and even feel like we're seeing each other late.

At night, Wang An and his wife, who were going to rest in the main room, exchanged views on King Jingjun who visited today before going to bed.

"That Jingrui is still very good."

From the standpoint of mother-in-law, Princess An of course prefers a son-in-law like Jing Rui.

At least it's much better than that Li Xiuping, and Jingrui was born in the county prince's mansion, which is better than that champion Lang who was born in a peasant family.

Concubine An, as a woman, thinks very differently from Prince An. She thinks more about how a girl will gain a foothold in her husband's family after she gets married.

Although there are side concubines and aunts in Prince An's mansion, generally speaking, Prince An still respects Princess An very much.

It's not as good as Mr. Li and others who only have wives in their mansion, but it's much more stable than the back house of the old county king of the Jing family.

Like this time, the reason why Jing Rui entered Prince An's scope of choosing a son-in-law was also because the internal strife in the county prince's mansion was spread by interested people.

It had exactly the opposite effect. Lord An felt that Jingrui was a capable person who could solve those future troubles, and he thought it would be good to marry his daughter to him.

You know, the reason why Jingrui took the imperial examination wholeheartedly before was because he wanted to compete with his younger brother, the bastards of the county prince's mansion.

Let his father know that Jing Rui was able to be the heir of the county prince's mansion not only because he was lucky to be born in the womb of the princess as a legitimate son, but also because of his ability.

First, the second place in the exams gained a firm foothold in the imperial court and entered the eyes of the emperor. Later, he succeeded in getting the old county king to "step down" early. At least Prince An recognized Jingrui's ability.

Concubine An also thinks that it is good. King Jingjun can stabilize the back house, and An Le will not suffer too much if he marries him.

On the contrary, that Li Zhuangyuan's father and mother are all countrymen.

Even if An Le was born as a princess, after marriage, as a daughter-in-law, she needs to observe filial piety, and she will definitely be tortured by her husband's family.

This made Princess An very worried, "Our An Le is not that kind of virtuous temperament."

As a result, when he heard this, Prince An raised his eyebrows: "Our girl, what do you want to be so virtuous?"

As a big man, Lord An believed in three wives and four concubines, but his daughter could not suffer like this.

Growing up in her natal family's pampered family, and then willingly taking care of her concubine at her husband's house?

Well thought out, his daughter doesn't need such a virtuous name!

It is also because of this that since childhood, Anle has always thought of doing whatever he wants, so he has a reputation for arrogance in the capital.

That's why Prince An was optimistic about the No. [-] scholar who was born in a farming family before. With his backing, An Le can live in her husband's family carefree by marrying low.

Unexpectedly, Jingrui's excellent performance made An Wang and his wife, who were obviously out of step, take a fancy to them at the same time;

Jing Rui didn't know about this, after coming out of Prince An's Mansion, after thinking about it, Jing Rui wrote a letter truthfully and told Li Xiuping about it.

At least, if Prince An's and Jing's residences really have the opportunity to go further in the future, Jing Rui doesn't want these things to affect his friendship with Li Xiuping.

Of course Master Li, who is thousands of miles away, doesn't know all this, he is still busy with all kinds of chores in his county government, and people's livelihood is the most difficult thing to deal with.

He is only a small county magistrate, so it seems that he deals with trivial matters every day, but what Li Xiuping values ​​is the experience accumulated in the process of handling these matters.

These are not something that can be done by studying sage books hard.

The first ten years of hard study in Han Chuang were actually just talk on paper. If you really want to be a good official, you have to go deep into the people and do practical things.
