The results of the examination are also out. As everyone guessed, as expected, Cao Song was the number one scholar in high school, and he was also a handsome number one scholar, and was widely circulated in the streets; the second number one was a scholar from Jiangnan, and now there are 2 out of 30 students; and the third most handsome man was Yin Youxi. The number one scholar and Tanhua Lang were both so handsome. Unfortunately, the number one scholar heard that he was going to marry Princess Wenwan, and Tanhua Lang had already made an engagement.
Wen Wan heard that the emperor had appointed Cao Song as the number one scholar: "Is Cao Song's talent and learning really that good?" She ignored Cao Song and naturally didn't pay attention. Without true talent and learning, the emperor's uncle would not have selected him as the number one scholar.
Xia Yao nodded: "I won second place in the general examination. Hui Yuan's performance was lacking in the palace examination, so he was selected as second place."
He said softly and continued busy. Xia Yao was very busy because of Wen Wan, and felt very distressed. In order to help the emperor make money, the princess has been racking her brains these days, and she is too busy to rest. "Princess, drink this ginseng porridge."
Wenwan came after drinking the tonic. After drinking, she asked how the business of Guangyuan Bank was going. Xia Ying shook his head and said it was not good. The business can only be average, and many people do not trust Guangyuan Bank. There is no time-honored bank like the previous one that makes people feel reassured.
Wen Wan nodded, indicating that he understood. Wen Wan expected that Guangyuan Bank had a bad start. Wen Wan is just testing the depth of the water now, and has not gone a step further. In addition, there was no money from the treasury and the emperor's money had not arrived. Wen Wan did not dare to spread the stall too big, so she could only start small and slowly. When the national treasury is full and 80% of the capital is brought in, we can start to expand our business. Now, let¡¯s start small.
Although it is expected. However, Wenwan still carefully analyzed and studied the reasons for the loss. These situations are listed one by one. These should be paid attention to and corrected.
Xia Ying told Wen Wan the latest progress, "Princess. The Cao family has proposed marriage to the emperor."
Wen Wan nodded, indicating that he understood. Continue to draw pictures and look up information. to data.
"Princess, the emperor announces your entry into the palace." The eunuch came and came to wear the imperial edict and went out dressed in gentle clothes.
When Wen Wan walked in, she casually glanced at the other two people in the study room. One person is Cao Yin, the Minister of Household Affairs. Wen Wan had often met at Yanghe Hall before. Standing next to him was a handsome man with a face like Fu Fen and a beautiful tree facing the wind. Although they haven't seen each other for four years, their facial features haven't changed much.
"Happy Princess". Both of them saluted Wen Wan. Wen Wan ignored it and walked directly towards the emperor.
"Uncle the Emperor." Wen Wan entered the imperial study and called the emperor without even bowing. This is not her usual behavior.
Wen Wan is wearing a crow-blue dress today. From head to hand, the pearls and gems on her body are shining with dazzling light. Dazzling. But because he had just recovered from his illness, he looked lethargic. Sick looking. The whole person looked even sicker, and his face was unnaturally pale. The gentle appearance is only average to above average, but this will make her look bad. Wearing such a dark dress and using so many jewelry to set it off. Although it's not ugly, it gives off a strange feeling.
In fact, if Wen Wan were to wear a white or light color instead of a dark color, and coupled with the pitiful expression that she often behaves in front of the emperor, the effect would be completely different.
The emperor was a little surprised, what was wrong with the girl?
Master Cao also had a strange look on his face, while Cao Song was not very happy. It is always said that Princess Wenwan is well-educated, knowledgeable, and outstanding in appearance. Now, what do you mean?
The emperor asked, "Wen Wan, Mr. Cao is here to propose marriage to me. Although it is against the rules, I still want to ask you if you are satisfied with this marriage."
Wen Wan looked bad, but when she spoke, she showed arrogance, "It doesn't matter, I will get married anyway. Everyone said that the young man Sanlang of the Cao family is talented, handsome, and suave. Now he will be the number one scholar in this class. Anyway, I have to marry sooner or later. Marrying someone doesn't mean marrying me, but marrying him doesn't mean I'm buried. Uncle Emperor, I'll live in the princess's house after I get married (this is equivalent to looking for a son-in-law). The emperor¡¯s uncle will come to live in the palace, won¡¯t there be any problem?¡±
Wenwan not only says this, but also does it. From the time he came in until now, he has not looked at Cao Song. It seems that getting married is just a task for her. Nothing else.
The emperor chuckled, "Of course, even if you get married, you will still have to live in the princess's palace. When you get married, even if you don't come to the palace, your uncle will have people bring you to the palace." Although he doesn't know this girl What's the idea? However, the emperor felt that Cao Song was not bad, and he was barely worthy of Wen Wan.
Wen Wan glanced at Cao Song's frown and smiled secretly in her heart, "Uncle Emperor, the imperial doctor said that I am very weak now and cannot work hard. I have to support at least three people."It took 2 years to complete. Uncle Emperor, we have to wait at least three years before we get married. Can he afford to wait? "
"Cao Aiqing, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Wen Wan, who had been working so hard recently, and looked a lot haggard, so naturally he felt distressed. Moreover, I also know that getting married will be very tiring. Wen Wan is only 15 years old now and will only be 18 years old in three years, which is not too late.
Mr. Cao is confused. My son is already 18, and he will be 21 in three years. It's a pity that the emperor is so accommodating, so how can they stand to oppose it?
After the two of them went out, the emperor patted Wen Wan's head: "Silly girl, just say so if you don't want to marry. What did you do to make yourself so ugly?"
??????????????????????????????????????: "I really think this outfit is good and pretty. Doesn't it give Uncle Emperor a refreshing feeling?"
The emperor couldn¡¯t laugh or cry at Wen Wan¡¯s pretentiousness. However, the emperor was also very pleased. Although Wen Wan was very busy in the past six months, he was obviously happier than before. The tips of his eyebrows are relaxed, no longer frowning like before. Maybe gentleness is suitable for such a life.
After Wen Wan went out, she saw Cao Song waiting on the way out of the palace, and there was a little eunuch beside her. A cold light flashed in Wen Wan's eyes, whose handiwork was this.
Cao Song used to admire Wen Wan very much, and his future wife is a talented woman with a well-known reputation. He thought that he would be able to live a harmonious life. He was full of expectations for the future, but when he saw Wen Wan being so vulgar and arrogant today, it was not as good as the rumors, which made him seriously doubtful. So he wanted to stay and find out what happened. "Princess, the song about spring outing that you made is very good. I admire you very much."
Xia Yao glanced at the eunuch. The eunuch wisely retreated to a place where everyone could see the rejection, but it was not close.
Wen Wan looked at Cao Song like an idiot, "I hate poetry the most, and I can't eat it. What do I do? If I have that time, I might as well come up with another way to make money."
Cao Song's expression changed drastically: "You, you that song about spring outing, wasn't you composed?"
Wen Wan looked at Cao Song strangely and said, "Who told you that I didn't do it? However, it was an assignment my teacher once assigned me. I thought it was quite appropriate. I wrote it out at that time." Wen Wan's words were very interesting. Easily confusing. Although I didn¡¯t say plagiarism. But since it is homework. The teacher will definitely approve it and will definitely revise it. In other words, gentle fraud.
After hearing this, Cao Song became anxious. In Shilin, fraud is an extremely shameful thing. "You, how could you do such a thing."
What appeared in Wen Wan's eyes was pure disdain, and she held her head high: "I don't need others to tell me what to do. Forget it this time. Don't blame me for being rude to you next time."
"You, you are simply unreasonable." Wen Wan's image of a talented woman in Cao Song's heart suddenly collapsed. How could he marry such a vulgar and low-moral woman? Absolutely not.
Wen Wan's face suddenly turned cold, and Xia Yao slapped her down. Wuzhishan appeared on Cao Song's face: "One more time. I'll reward you with twenty sticks. Humph."
Wenwan walked away.
Cao Song¡¯s face was swollen and red, but his complexion was even more colorful. Does he want to spend his whole life with such a woman, and just slap her in the face if he doesn't want to? terrible. No, absolutely not. He would never marry such a woman.
When Cao Yin heard this, he trembled with fright. If he hadn't been calm, he would have fainted. "What did you say? You want to break off the engagement with the princess? Why are you crazy?"
Mrs. Cao is more sensible: "Son, what's wrong with you? You were fine before, but why did you go to the palace and think about breaking off the engagement? Did something happen?"
Cao Song immediately recounted what he had encountered before in a gentle manner.
Cao Yin was so angry that he couldn't speak. "You are stupid in reading. Even so, so what, you are not plagiarizing other people's things. From now on, your life cannot be like playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You'd better stop it." This idea, otherwise I won¡¯t spare you.¡±
Cao Song is very stubborn. He has been suppressed by his father these years, but it does not mean that he does not have his own temper. His wish for Wenwan was too ideal, and now that they saw her, they were completely different. How could he bear it: "Father, I don't want to marry, and the emperor didn't order it anyway."
Cao Yin was extremely angry, "I don't know why the princess did this. But you should give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise, our Cao family will not have a son like you."
Seeing Cao Song's stubborn look, Cao Yin had no choice but to tell his son about the seriousness of the matter. Just as he was talking, someone from the Ministry of Finance came and said that there was something urgent and wanted him to make a decision. I had no choice but to go out. Before I left, I didn't forget to warn my son not to let him go out and reflect at home.
Cao Song was depressed and suddenly thought of asking someone for help. final trickAfter leaving the door, I went directly to look for Luo Shouxun. Luo Shouxun also knew that Princess Wenwan would marry Cao Song. He also deeply felt sorry for Cao Song. Why did Princess Wenwan fall in love with a handsome boy? Could it be that she was trying to compensate for her lack of appearance (if Wenwan knew this, she would definitely vomit blood).
Cao Song thought of a person who should have the absolute right to speak. You should also not lie to yourself. If she also proves that Wen Wan is indeed a deceitful person, then he will never marry such a woman.
Author's words: I saw familiar names voting for pink one by one, and some even voted for more than one vote. I was very moved when I saw it, really very moved. Thank you all, thank you all for your support. Bow and thank everyone.
As I write this, an idea occurred to me at this moment. I am now more than a hundred votes behind the previous one. I wonder if you can let me explode it in these last two days. I feel like this idea is a bit arrogant. But this wild idea comes from strong support. I wonder if everyone can make June¡¯s arrogant idea become a reality. Looking forward to June. (To be continued)
