my wife is wonderful

Chapter 153 No. 3

"A son-in-law who is a Jinshi is naturally more respectable than a son-in-law who is a civil servant. But if the father-in-law chooses his son-in-law, the son-in-law must also choose his father-in-law. Look, what do you think most of the potential father-in-laws are who are ready to rob someone below?"

Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen were all attracted by the middle-aged man's words. Like Geng Shuhuai, they both looked down.

"Well... they should all be rich people." Geng Shuhuai said it but didn't say it.

Aren't they all rich people? They all wore silk and satin and had a group of strong servants. They didn't have enough money at home to be able to do this, let alone get it on the day when the results were released in Qiuwei. A young man became his son-in-law.

The middle-aged man showed an unteachable expression to Geng Shuhuai, "In terms of their identities, most of them are wealthy businessmen. Now we are trying to grab a Juren from an average family to be our son-in-law. We can support him financially. If this son-in-law passes the exam in the future, When a Jinshi becomes an official, his daughter becomes an official's wife, but do you think they dare to snatch a Jinshi as their son-in-law?"

"Yes, I have passed the Jinshi examination, and I can't find a wife anywhere." Geng Shuhuai suddenly realized.

Once you pass the Jinshi examination, the choice will be huge, so those who can grab people on the day when the results are released in spring must at least be people with a certain status. Even if they are merchants, they will not be ordinary merchants.

After such a screening, naturally there were not as many people grabbing people in the spring period as there were in the autumn period.

Qi Yue, a middle-aged man whom Geng Xingshuang considered as the "guard captain", glanced at his master and said to himself: "Master, you are really learning now and selling it now. The things I just learned from Master Yan today will be used now." In front of these young people, I’m learning and selling it now.”

Seeing Geng Shuhuai suddenly realizing "that's how it is", and his master looking like a senior who can help others understand their doubts, Qi Yue felt that if his master came out today, even if he failed to find a suitable young man to be his son-in-law, The mood shouldn't be too bad either.

Geng Xingshuang and others watched the excitement and listened to the explanation. They did not notice that Yang Qingmo had been silent and thoughtful. He didn't talk much.

"Brother Yang Liu, look at whether the rankings are going to be released!"

Geng Xingshuang kept staring at the wall outside the yamen where the autumn list was said to be posted, and finally saw a row of six yamen servants carrying a big red list and walking out of the yamen.

"The list is about to be announced. Come on, let's get down quickly!"

As Geng Shuhuai said, he had already stood up.

"Hey, I saw my dad and third uncle!"

Geng Xingshuang's eyes were sharp. The moment he stood up, he saw Geng Wen and Geng Yan jostle and bustle with the crowd. There were several familiar people around them. They were all taller and stronger servants of the uncle's house.

What surprised Geng Xingshuang was that he actually saw Liang Ben in the crowd.

"Sixth sister, you said my father wouldn't invite Uncle Liang to help!" Geng Xingchen felt his head buzzing.

She had argued with her mother two days ago because her mother mentioned the marriage in Yongqing Marquis Mansion again, and she even secretly cried in the end. Later, her father came to comfort her, "We don't want the Yongqing Marquis Mansion door." Marriage, as you said, they look down on our family, so let’s not push them. My daughter is not only good-looking, but she can also make money. I don’t believe she can’t marry into a good family. Sister Chen, don’t worry, dad will definitely do it. Help you find a good husband."

It was in her memory that her father said the softest and most tender words to her. Geng Xingchen still remembers her feelings at that time, but... But her father, the third master of the Geng family, has not changed, and he is still so individual in his actions. .

"Don't worry, we will look after it for you. If the person chosen by the third uncle is not what you want, second brother, just go and let him go and tell the third uncle that he wants to re-elect. Think about it, so many people are doing and The same thing as Uncle San means that someone has succeeded before, maybe you are one of them, even if you don't succeed, you won't suffer."

Geng Xingshuang comforted Geng Xingchen and told Geng Shuhuai. Being comforted like this, Geng Xingchen really felt that what her father did was not too outrageous.After all, her father was not the only one to do this, there were many others.

She had to be calm, just like the sixth sister, and she had to pretend not to panic.

When Geng Xingchen knows what happened next, she will surely feel more relaxed. After all, the three masters of the Anping Prefecture who did this together were not only the wealthy businessmen of Ningdu City, but also some officials, and even...

The government officials finally posted the red list on the wall. They were already sweating profusely from exhaustion. Those who were anxious used the red list in their hands to find their place of origin and their names. If it weren't for several more government officials who came from behind, they would all go there. After catching up, they were all worried that the newly released list would be crowded to pieces.

"Yang Liu, I'll go to the bottom of the list and watch, you watch at the top!" Geng Shuhuai said loudly, about to squeeze towards the bottom of the list.

"No need, I've already seen it." As soon as Geng Shuhuai finished speaking, Yang Qingmo pointed to the front of the list and said, "There, No. 3."

"Ah? Found it so quickly?" Geng Shuhuai was surprised. Geng Xingshuang, who was protected by Yang Qingmo, stood on tiptoes to look. Sure enough, he saw Yang Qingmo from Lanshi County, Anlan Prefecture, in the third column. A list of words.

"Brother Yang Liu, you got No. 3 in the exam."

"Ah."

Geng Shuhuai quickly squeezed in with Geng Xingchen. He was tall and strong, so he could maneuver easily in the crowded crowd, even if he was carrying one person with him.

Geng Xingchen's attention is no longer on the list, but on Geng Yan and others who are always looking for attention and then looking for it again, constantly changing their positions.

From time to time, the crowd burst out with a series of excited shouts such as "I won! I won! My son won! My father won! Our young master won! My master won!" and other excited shouts.

Geng Xingchen is now worried that her father will lose his mind amid these "wins" and will take one of them home as his son-in-law, regardless of whether he is old or ugly.

"Seventh sister, let's go upstairs to the tea shop so we can have a clearer view. Once the third uncle robs someone who shouldn't be robbed, the second brother can fly down directly from there to stop the third uncle."

Geng Xingshuang pointed to the balcony on the second floor of the tea shop opposite.

Geng Xingchen thinks this is a good idea, but she is still a little worried, "Can the second brother stop Uncle Liang?"

She was worried that Liang Ben was also a helper hired by her father.

Geng Xingshuang looked at her second brother, and Geng Shuhuai thought for a moment, "I haven't fought against Uncle Liang since I came back. I couldn't beat him two years ago. I don't know now, but even if I can't beat him, Yang Liu can definitely beat him. Qi Sister, don’t worry, the second brother promises you that he will not let the third uncle just drag anyone back."

After the four people went upstairs again, they saw that the second floor of the tea shop was originally full. At this moment, there were only two middle-aged people sitting at the table next to them. However, they were not sitting on their seats at this time, but standing on the balcony railing. There, he was looking at the huge crowd in front of the government office.

Hearing the footsteps, they both turned their heads.

For some reason, Geng Xingshuang felt that the middle-aged man who had spoken to them earlier looked at them in a slightly different way, sparkling with light.
