Ouyang Yu was worried that if he didn't agree, Marquis Guang'en would invite the emperor out, so he could only agree temporarily to stabilize Marquis Guang'en. As for Yang Erdan's situation, he had learned about it in advance and was not optimistic about it, so he didn't take his teaching seriously.

Unexpectedly, Yang Erdan is very resilient and humble, and is willing to learn from others without feeling ashamed to ask questions. What's more rare is that he can read his instructions and act accordingly, and is both hardworking and not unreasonable.

Ouyang Yu then became serious. One was willing to teach and the other wanted to learn. In just one month, Yang Erdan made rapid progress. Ouyang Yu went from being pessimistic to being somewhat surprised and expectant. Before the spring examination, he even took two days off to help Yang Erdan review his knowledge.

After knowing Yang Erdan's answer, he laughed three times and went to work. His high-spirited look made Yang Erdan full of confidence.

Soon, the results of the spring examination were announced. As expected, all four candidates in their family passed, and Xu Nuoshan even won the first place. The other three had weak scores in certain subjects, but all achieved good results in their respective tracks.

Yang Santie was third. Yang Erdan and Liang Shaoqian both took the construction exam, one was in the top ten and the other ranked eighteenth.

The Yang family was already the focus of attention, and the fact that they produced four tribute scholars at once, with such an impressive achievement, caused quite a stir at the time.

Several wives of officials who received the news came to inquire about the situation of the Yang family. They also knew the situation of Yang Santie and that he was still unmarried. In addition, they didn't know the background of that champion, so they also wanted to inquire about it.

Jiang Ning was overwhelmed by so many visitors, so he simply held a flower-viewing banquet and sent invitations to the ladies and girls of each family.

After everything was arranged, she quickly sent someone to find Yang Santie.

The results had just been announced a few days ago, and Yang Santie and his three friends had to go out for social events every day. When they were called back from the restaurant, he was a little confused, "Mother, why did you only call your son back? Where are my second brother and the others?"

Jiang Ning was a little annoyed, "You still say that! You are not at home every day, don't you know that the threshold of our house is almost trampled down? It has been common to catch a son-in-law under the list since ancient times, and it is still a good thing. This is just the spring exam. When the palace exam results are announced in April, many people will be watching under the list. Now someone is asking me about your and Nuoshan's lifelong event. I can deal with one or two, but how can I refuse so many people?

I'm telling you something from the bottom of my heart. If you have a girl you like, chase her quickly. If she nods in agreement, I can tell others that I have chosen someone, so that people don't have to guess blindly. If we don't have a girl, they might think we are being pretentious and offend people for no reason.

If you don't have a girl you like in your heart, I will help you find one during the flower viewing banquet. Anyway, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married!"

Yang Santie jumped up in shock. Xiaosha'erlang looked panicked and anxious, "Mother, my son loves Xiaohua, you all know that! Why are you teasing him about this?"

Yang Santie pouted, feeling aggrieved.

Jiang Ning was simply unable to bear watching, "I don't care, I'll give you two days. If you can get Xiaohua to agree, I'll immediately write a letter to your uncle Han to ask for marriage. If you can't do it, I will definitely pick a girl for you at the flower viewing banquet."

“Mother! I beg you!” Yang Santie bowed deeply to Jiang Ning, rushed out in a hurry, and rushed to Yang Xiaohua’s yard and shouted, “Sister Xiaohua, Sister Xiaohua!”

Ayana was practicing martial arts when she heard the noise. She jumped out and put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction, "Why are you shouting? You are calling for souls! Don't you know that the girl living here is an unmarried girl? You are so rude, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a tribute scholar!"

Although Yang Santie was furious, he still bowed to apologize and asked in a gentle voice, "Is Sister Xiaohua here?"

"That's more like it!" Ayana rolled her eyes and looked towards the pharmacy, "It's inside!"

After thanking her, Yang Santie quickly ran over and pushed the door open, "Sister Xiaohua, Sister Xiaohua, I finally found you!"

He came to Yang Xiaohua panting, wishing he could get close to her.

Yang Xiaohua was so embarrassed and angry that she couldn't help but growl, "Yang Santie! What are you doing?" Yang Santie quickly took out a jade statue from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This. I carved it myself. I'm giving it to you!"

Yang Xiaohua curiously put down the herbs in her hand, took the jade statue and looked at it carefully. She found that the jade statue looked very much like herself when she was a child, "Is this me?"

Yang Santie nodded heavily, "I learned this from a stone merchant when I was outside the Great Wall, but I couldn't carve it well, so he helped me fix it."

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and confessed hastily, "Sister Xiaohua, I-I like you, can you-can you marry me?"

After expressing his feelings in one breath, Yang Santie immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Xiaohua with nervousness and anticipation.

Yang Xiaohua tightly grasped the jade statue, her eyes never leaving her hands. After a moment, she looked up, her eyes glittering like stars, her cheeks flushed, and she pursed her lips and asked, "Why do you like me? I am not like those girls who follow the three obediences and four virtues. I will not just be a woman in the inner house in the future. Marrying me will not do you any good, and you may even be criticized."

Yang Santie shook his head vigorously, "Nonsense! In my eyes, you are the best! You like to practice medicine everywhere, and I like to do business. When you go out in the future, I will follow you. You practice medicine and I do business. We can still live a happy life in harmony."

"Pfft!" Yang Xiaohua was amused. After thinking about it, she nodded shyly, "Okay, I agree."

Yang Santie was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and jumped three feet high!

"That's great! That's great! Xiaohua is going to marry me! Hahahaha"

He went crazy in the pharmacy for a while, then said excitedly, "I'll go find my mother now and ask her to write a letter and find a matchmaker to go to your house and ask for marriage!"

Having said that, he ran away like the wind.

But in a short while, all the servants in Guangenhou Mansion knew that their third young master was engaged to Yang Xiaohua.

Jiang Ning sent Butler Song to go to Cui Mansion in person to tell Madam Ming San.

Cui Mansion.

Because Yang Santie had passed the imperial examination, Mrs. Ming San was very proud and she walked with a breeze when she came to the Tang family's courtyard to pay her respects.

Wang teased, "Sister-in-law, it seems that you really treat Mr. Yang San as your own son. These few days, I have noticed that you look so good that it makes people jealous."

Mrs. Ming San just smiled and said nothing.

Tang sighed, "The Third Young Master is a grateful child. I heard from your father that when he went out today, he told everyone he met that you were his husband. Plus, Jinxiu is about to marry Prince An, so you are almost a legend outside!"

"That's right! These few days when my daughter-in-law went out, many people asked her about the eldest sister-in-law. Some praised her for her good parenting skills, and some praised her for her erudition. Some people who knew the details of the Ming family said that the wife was virtuous and the family was rich for three generations, and it was the eldest sister-in-law who saved the Ming family. In short, when I went out, I didn't hear anyone say anything bad about the eldest sister-in-law! Except for some people who are jealous of her."

There is something else behind Wang's words.

Tang raised her eyes and asked, "Are you talking about the Cheng family?" (End of this chapter)
