The Prime Minister's Wife Is The Richest Woman

“This Eldest Young Master Wu is really lucky. He sneaked away at a critical juncture and did not participate in the Rural Examination. And afterwards, his father was promoted and he was also directly exempted from the Rural Examination. Moreover, not long after he arrived in the capital, the Third Miss took a fancy to him and he became the future Son-in-law of the Ji family. Third Miss also spent a lot of money for him!” In the crowd, the scholars who came all the way to participate in the Spring Imperial Examination all felt very sour and envious.

“That’s true! The eldest brother of the Ji family is a Minister. After this Spring Imperial Examination, when arranging the post, won’t all the good jobs fall on the Eldest Young Master Wu’s head then?”

“I heard that the Third Miss is very beautiful.”

“Yes, and I’ve also never heard Eldest Young Master Wu’s name before this. Am I the one who is unenlightened?”

“No. The Eldest Young Master Wu was really not well-known before this. I really don’t know how the Third Miss of the Ji family took a fancy on him.”

These scholars came from thousands of miles away, although they said to the outside world that it was for their heart’s great aspirations, what they think is nothing more than to find an official post in the capital, earn some money, live a good life and then marry a beautiful wife.

As a result, that Wu Wei’an has everything they want. Can they not feel sour?

A scholar couldn’t help but ask: “That Eldest Young Master Wu, is he more handsome than Pan An[1]?”

“No, no. If he looks better than Pan An, then that’s fine. But he is just ordinary in appearance. It’s just that he is a little taller and a little whiter.” A certain young master who met Wu Wei’an at the snow banquet a year ago replied.

The crowd shook their heads and wondered why.

“I heard that Third Miss even smashed ten thousand taels of gold in the gambling house for the reputation of Eldest Young Master Wu.” Someone wink and cast a glance as a signal to others, “But I just don’t believe that the Eldest Young Master Wu can get a place in the First-Rank. Bah, forget the First-Rank, I don’t even think that he will be able to enter the Palace Examination’s door!”

“But have you forgotten, who is Master Ji?”

“That’s right. Even if he passed the Spring Imperial Examination, the Palace Examination is personally selected by the Emperor. Eldest Young Master Wu will not be able to win a place in the First-Rank!”

“That’s true. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup that Eldest Young Master Wu had poured into the Ji family. He could actually let the Ji family lose so much money in just such a short time, only for a momentary comfort!”

Just when everyone is talking about Wu Wei’an, Wu Wei’an is still in Ji Yunxi’s carriage.

Ji Yunxi has always done well in these aspects. She got up early and went to the Wu family to pick up her cash cow and the cash cow’s younger brother.

Wu Weining sat very respectfully by the door, with a book in his hand and reading it.

On the other side, Wu Wei’an took a cup of tea and sipped it.

As if he thought of something, he asked: “Do you have a mirror?”

Ji Yunxi was a little sleepy. When she heard the words, she bent down and opened the hidden compartment at her feet.

The hidden compartment is quite large and there are many things in it, most of which are used for women to dress themself up.

Good makeup powder, rouge, decoration for painting the forehead, lipstick etc, as well as a small and exquisite hand mirror with feathered pattern.

Ji Yunxi handed over the feather pattern hand mirror. Wu Wei’an took it and took a complete look at his own face from up to down, left to right.

Ji Yunxi: “?”

She frowned slightly, looked at Wu Wei’an in the mirror, then also subconsciously looked at his face.

Everyone is a fan of good-looking faces, and Ji Yunxi is no exception either.

Of course, she also likes good-looking men. For example, a large part of the reason why she is so fond of her Sixth Brother is because her Sixth Brother has very superior facial features, such as big and smart eyes, long and curled eyelashes, light pink lip color and fair skin. When looking at her with bright eyes, he really looks like a dog with excellent appearance.
