my wife is wonderful

"You just said that the No. 3 candidate was Yang Shaojing's second son, named Yang Qingmo. Is he Yang Qingmo?"

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Qingmo and asked Qi Yue, the "guard captain" beside him.

Qi Yue bowed and said "yes", and reminded in a low voice: "Wei Chen heard that Mr. Yang's second son... has already been engaged."

Qi Yue knew the purpose of his master leaving the palace. He had some friendship with Yang Shaojing, but he could only help him so much.

"I know that the girl sitting next to him just now should be his fiancée. Alas, I am a step too late. When Yang Shaojing returns to Ningdu this year, I have to talk about him. I have such a son, so I shouldn't tell him earlier. ."

Geng Xingshuang saw the two middle-aged men looking at them and muttering something in a low voice. There was something wrong with their eyes, as if they were having some bad idea.

Moreover, she had felt that the middle-aged man wearing a chestnut-colored robe had an extraordinary temperament before. She couldn't explain the specific temperament, but his attitude was always very kind and he took the initiative to talk to her, so she gradually ignored it. .

Now it seems that these two people are indeed a bit weird.

"It's okay." Yang Qingmo soothed softly, and the group walked to the other side of the balcony.

He and two middle-aged men each occupied one end of the balcony.

"Hey, those are Jiang Xingwen and Li Xu!"

As soon as Geng Shuhuai went upstairs, he saw familiar figures crowded in the crowd, "I just forgot to check whether they passed the exam or not."

As Geng Shuhuai spoke, he shouted out the names of several people. They seemed to hear them, glanced at them, and waved.

"Master, Jiang Xingwen is good at writing. He is Jiang Liao's eldest son. He got No. 18 in the exam this time. He is good at writing and martial arts..."

Before Qi Yue finished speaking, he saw his master, the current Emperor Sheng Ning, shaking his head again, "Qiu Wei only got No. 18 in the exam. If Chun Wei took the exam, wouldn't it be fifty or sixty?"

"After fifty or sixty, that is also the second-ranked Jinshi." Qi Yue counted in his mind, and this was already the sixth candidate that the master in front of him shook his head and rejected.

"And it's not very good-looking either. Our Yu'er likes good-looking ones."

I think your Majesty, you like good-looking things, right?

Qi Yue complained in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.

"What about Mr. Li's eldest son? Li Xu got No. 8 in the exam. His ranking is good, he's good-looking, and he's gentle and elegant."

Forgive Qi Yue as a military commander, but he really doesn't have much ink in his belly, and he can't think of any good adjectives to praise him.

"No, no, no. Yu'er will definitely not like a weak scholar who is skinny, looks like he has no strength at all, and can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands."

Qi Yue sighed deeply in his heart. He summed up in his mind the emperor's criteria for choosing a son-in-law. He must be both civil and military, good in appearance, have a distinguished family background, have both parents and a loving father and mother, and be respectful to brothers and sisters. , and these requirements are not just met, but must reach the height in the emperor's heart.

For example, he believed that being on the Qiu Wei List and knowing some kung fu would be regarded as having both civil and military skills. However, in the emperor's opinion, the top ten on the Qiu Wei List could only be regarded as being talented in literature. In terms of martial arts, the standards were even more stringent. .

Qi Yue thought about how when Yang Qingmo and his party came downstairs just now, he told the emperor that Yang Shaojing's second son's martial arts might be better than his own. Then he thought about the Qiu Wei list they had seen in advance. The emperor said, "This Only then can you be considered capable of both literary and martial arts!"

Qi Yue felt that the day when the sixth princess would get married was far away.

However, he was also a little curious. Although the emperor fell in love with Yang Qingmo, he never thought of snatching him away to be his son-in-law. This was somewhat unlike his master's style.

If the emperor really likes it, as long as he has a thought, someone will respectfully offer it to him without him grabbing it.

But Qi Yue didn't dare to ask.

"Why haven't Jiang Xingwen and the others come up yet!" Geng Shuhuai was a little impatient. At this time, there were more and more people in the tea shop. Many people moved from the entrance of the government office to nearby restaurants and tea shops.The eyes of Geng Xingshuang and others had already lost sight of Geng Wen, Geng Yan, and the others. Geng Shuhuai said somewhat boredly: "Yang Liu, the messenger with the good news may have arrived at your house now. Aren't you going back?"

"My second brother and second sister-in-law take care of the family, so I don't need to go back."

It would be okay to go back. The officer who brought the good news only needed to reward him with some money. Now when he goes back, in addition to hearing those compliments and compliments that are both true and false, and maybe some cynicism, Yang Qingmo has no intention of joining in the fun.

Geng Shuhuai "tsk", feeling that in this regard, their family is similar to the Yang family, and he doesn't know if all big families are like this.

"Sixth sister, second brother, do you think that's my dad? Is he holding someone in his arms?"

Geng Xingchen suddenly screamed, probably too shocked. Her loud voice attracted the attention of everyone else standing on the balcony. Now they were not the only ones on the balcony with the two middle-aged men. , a lot of people have come one after another, everyone is crowded here, watching the scenes of robbing people being performed below.

Looking in the direction of Geng Xingchen's finger, Geng Xingshuang recognized Geng Yan at a glance, who was holding another person tightly in his arms in the crowd.

He is tall and strong, and the person he is holding is half a head shorter than him, and he is also thin. His face is facing the opposite direction to the tea shop. Geng Xingshuang and others cannot see it, but they can tell just by looking at his body shape. He was a weak scholar who was trapped by Geng Yan. Although he kept struggling, to Geng Yan, the struggle was almost like scratching an itch and was of no use at all.

"Second brother, go and see, who is the person that third uncle grabbed? Where did he get in the exam? What does he look like?"

Geng Xingshuang saw that Geng Xingchen was so anxious that she wanted to run away, so she hurriedly said to Geng Shuhuai.

Geng Shuhuai responded and was about to go down when he heard Yang Qingmo say: "Li Xu is wearing a Songjiang-colored Taoist robe today, and the style is the same as that person's."

"Li Xu? You can't, right? Isn't he accompanied by Li Shun and Li Sui?"

Geng Shuhuai felt that it could not be Li Xu. Although Li Xu himself was frail and delicate, Li Shun and Li Sui were two young men whom Li Jijiu specially placed beside his son. They could serve as both book boys and bodyguards.

"Didn't he bring them with him today? No way. In this situation, he just came here by himself. If he didn't bring his servants with him, wouldn't he be waiting for someone to come and snatch him... Hey... isn't that Li Shun?"

Before Geng Shuhuai finished speaking, he saw the person he just mentioned being held and pushed by his own father. Li Shun was anxious to go to his master, but was stopped by Geng Wen and the servants of the uncle's house. I can't even move forward.

After seeing Li Shun, he looked around Geng Yan, and sure enough he saw another servant of Li Xu, "Uncle Liang is indeed the helper that the third uncle asked for."

Geng Xingshuang felt that her third uncle was quite powerful and could impress Uncle Liang.

At this time, Liang Ben firmly restrained Li Sui with only one hand.

"I'm going to help Li Xu now. Third uncle made a mistake and got one of his own."

After all, Li Xu was the friend they had made at Lizai Academy in the past few months, and the relationship was very good. It was the kind of relationship that even if they left the academy, they could still get together from time to time.

"Second brother, wait!" Geng Xingshuang hurriedly called out to Geng Shuhuai, who was about to run downstairs. Geng Shuhuai paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um...has Mr. Li been engaged?"

"do not know!"

"As far as I know, not yet!"

Geng Shuhuai and Yang Qingmo answered at the same time. Geng Xingshuang immediately looked at Yang Qingmo, "Really there is no engagement? There is no such thing as two families who are interested but haven't come to talk about the engagement yet?"

Yang Qingmo shook his head, "Master Li wants to wait until Li Xuzhong becomes a Jinshi before proposing marriage for him."

Geng Xingshuang nodded and looked at Geng Xingchen, "Seventh sister, you have also met Mr. Li. What do you think?"

"Ah... this... Sister Six, you mean... you mean..." Geng Xingchen was still very anxious at first, but after Geng Xingshuang said this, she didn't seem so anxious anymore, but her face turned red.
