Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

During those few months in the palace, she met Princess Yongyang several times, and each time Princess Yongyang had a sad face. If she remembered correctly, this should be the first time Princess Yongyang left the palace after the marriage incident.

Princess Yongyang blinked at Yang Xiaohua, then looked at the men across the stone bridge without saying a word.

Just then, Prince Xiaoyao also passed by, and others thought she was looking at Prince Xiaoyao and didn't think too much about it.

After a while, Princess Yongyang pointed at a person and asked, "Who is he?"

Yang Xiaohua followed her line of sight, blinked, and said, "That's Xu Nuoshan, the champion of this year's spring imperial examination. Princess, have you heard of him?"

Princess Yongyang nodded. "I heard from Prince Xiaoyao that he has excellent literary talent. Who is next to him?"

"He is Hua Yongnian, a student from Ping'an County of Quzhou Prefecture, who also passed the spring examination. On the other side of Mr. Xu is Mr. Liang Shaoqian, the son-in-law of the Yang family." Yang Xiaohua introduced everyone she knew.

Princess Yongyang seemed to be thinking about something. After thinking for a while, she took Yang Xiaohua to sit beside a rock by the water.

The leader of Longyue County attended the meeting and took the others to another place to play.

Princess Yongyang then asked, "Do you know who among those people is unmarried?"

Yang Xiaohua shook her head honestly. Seeing Princess Yongyang's disappointment, she paused and said, "If the princess wants to know, I can go and ask now."

Princess Yongyang quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't say anything."

Yang Xiaohua gave her a reassuring look and went to the backyard holding up her skirt.

After a while, Yang Santie found an excuse to leave and went to Yang Xiaohua's pharmacy. "Ayana said you had something to talk to me about. What's the matter?"

Yang Xiaohua directly told the story of Princess Yongyang.

Yang Santie took the matter under his charge and returned to the garden again.

The flower-viewing banquet had not yet ended, but he had already found out all the information and exchanged a look with Yang Xiaohua.

Yang Xiaohua took Princess Pingyang to the pharmacy and asked her to sit behind the screen.

As soon as Yang Santie entered the room, he said, "I have asked all the questions you asked me. In addition to the sons of noble officials, there are 35 students who have passed the imperial examination this spring.

Fifteen of them were invited by me, ten came here because of our reputation, and the remaining ten are good friends of ours. Most of them are married or engaged, and only six are unmarried.

One of them came from the northwest. His family made a living by making tofu. His name was Qiao Wulang. He ranked well in the imperial examination this spring. He had a generous personality, but he looked a little rough, but he was a nice person. The second one came from the southwest. His name was Wan Pengcheng. His family had a hundred acres of land and he was a landlord in the local area. He had a wealthy family, a cheerful personality, many friends, and was much more handsome than Qiao Wulang.

The third is Ning Chengjun from Jiangnan. The Ning family is considered a wealthy family in Jiangnan. I had some interactions with him when I was doing business in Jiangnan last year. He is a lively and talented person.

The fourth person is also from Jiangnan, his name is Mu Fangzhi. I don’t know much about him, but he is one of the ten people who came here because of his reputation.

The fifth is Ming Luo from Tongchang Prefecture. He is also a member of the Ming family, but a branch of the branch. He is five generations apart from the direct line. His family is poor. If it were not for the help of his godmother, he would not have been able to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He is a hardworking and motivated person.

You also know the last one, Brother Xu. He is the champion of this competition and many people are watching him, so I don’t need to say more. ”

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Yang Xiaohua stopped her and muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished asking! The youngest among them should be almost 20 years old! Why don't they talk about marriage?" Yang Santai laughed, "What's there to be confused about? I don't know about others, but you know about Brother Xu's situation. Originally, his mother had found a good girl for him, but who knew that girl had a tragic fate and died before she got married. So he simply gave up the idea of ​​talking about marriage and focused on studying.

Others more or less want to find a wife with a good family background in order to achieve success, which is understandable."

Seeing that Yang Xiaohua didn't ask any more questions, Yang Santie gave her a few instructions before leaving.

As soon as he left, Yang Xiaohua immediately went behind the screen and said, "Princess, you heard everything just now. There are only six who have never been married. However, except for Xu Nuoshan, we don't know whether the others have hidden anything or other secrets."

Princess Yongyang raised her eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Just now, Master Yang said that Xu Huiyuan had a wife who was not married to him before, but she died later. Did he remain a virgin for that girl?"

"That's not the case." Yang Xiaohua told him everything she knew, "Originally, Mrs. Xu chose the girl because she liked her. It seems that Brother Xu has only met the girl once or twice. How can he talk about keeping her chastity?
But the girl died tragically, and Brother Xu couldn't bear it, so he proposed to bury the girl in the Xu family tomb, but the girl refused. In my opinion, Brother Xu is a responsible and good man, but it's a pity that the girl has no fate with the Xu family."

Princess Yongyang nodded.

After returning to the palace after the flower-viewing banquet, he immediately told the Queen the news he had received today at Marquis Guang'en's mansion.

Prince Xiaoyao also went to the Queen's place and explained the situation in detail.

That night, the empress invited the emperor over. She first reminisced about the past and then talked about their only daughter, Princess Yongyang, which brought back many fond memories for the emperor.

The Queen thought it was almost done, so she brought up Princess Yongyang's marriage. "Today, Yongyang and Chongyun went to the flower-viewing banquet at the Guangen Marquis's residence. When they came back, they were quite impressed with Xu Huiyuan. From what I saw, she seemed to be interested."

The emperor frowned subconsciously, "Did Yongyang say that himself?"

The Queen nodded repeatedly, "If the Emperor doesn't believe me, just call her over and ask her."

The emperor really called Princess Yongyang over. As soon as Xu Huiyuan was mentioned, Princess Yongyang blushed, completely losing her usual spirited demeanor.

The emperor laughed and shook his head, "Girls cannot be kept when they grow up! Forget it, I will wait for the palace examination and I will see."

After the emperor left, both mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, and Princess Yongyang's face no longer had any trace of shyness.

It's April in the blink of an eye.

The palace examination was held as scheduled. The emperor knew Princess Yongyang's thoughts in advance and paid special attention to Xu Nuoshan. Of course, he also tested several other young and talented candidates and asked many related questions.

Xu Nuoshan was asked three questions, which made many people jealous. However, because he was the champion, although everyone was jealous, they did not dare to say anything. After all, he achieved success based on his real ability.

Yang Santie was more hated. Although he was only ranked third in the subject, he was highly appreciated by the emperor and overshadowed the first in numerology. He was often looked down upon, but he just did his own thing and didn't take it to heart at all.

The results of the palace examination were announced. As expected, Xu Nuoshan became the new top scorer, Yang Santie took the second place in numerology, and Yang Erdan and Liang Shaoqian both entered the second place.

For a time, the Guang'en Marquis Mansion became the topic of discussion for everyone in the capital. Some people came to propose marriage, some asked for advice, and some ladies came to the mansion to submit visiting cards, insisting on meeting Jiang Ning to discuss their experience in raising children.

Jiang Ning was both happy and worried. He could not bear this sweet burden and hurriedly packed his luggage to return to Quzhou Prefecture. (End of this chapter)
