After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

As soon as Liu Zhi walked away, Liu Hanyan walked over.

As soon as she saw her mother she said to her:

"Mother, I heard what you just said. In this situation, what do you think we should do? If my father insists on marrying Liu Yiyi to Jiang Chen, I will have no chance at all."

Mrs. Cui looked at her daughter in front of her. She let out a long sigh, looked at her beautiful daughter in front of her and said:

"If I had known earlier that Jiang Chen would one day become the number one scholar of our Xuanwu Dynasty, I would never have foolishly gone to the Hou Mansion to break off the engagement. It was even less possible for me to talk to Liu Ruyi about you and Jiang Feng. matter."

Seeing that Liu Hanyan was talking about Jiang Feng, she quickly replied:

"Mom, what should I do now? It is impossible for me to marry Jiang Feng. The person who has been engaged to me since I was a child is Jiang Chen. Are you just going to watch helplessly as Liu Yiyi, the lady of the top scholar, can't bear it? Really? If this is the result, I would really not be willing to accept it."

Ms. Cui comforted her daughter and said:

"Who says it's not? I think so too. But the most important thing now is your father's attitude. Just now, he said he was going to bring that girl back. If that girl knew who I asked her to marry, If she is now the number one scholar in the new department, do you think she is willing to give up such a good marriage? Let him marry Jiang Chen, but I asked her in front of your father. Now that she has gone back on her word, I am afraid that she will not be able to live with your father. One pass. After all, he is the head of our family, so we should discuss this matter carefully and carefully."

Liu Hanyan suddenly sat on the chair and cried. While she was crying, she said to her mother aggrievedly

"Mother, you can't ignore me in this matter. My engagement with Jiang Chen was originally good. It was you who kept saying that Jiang Chen was a fool, so I wanted to cancel the marriage. You were still begging that concubine, Let her marry me. Now that Jiang Chen has won the top prize, will Liu Yiyi let such a good thing go by herself? If I can't marry Jiang Chen, I would rather die. Do you really have the heart to look at me? Are you going to die like this?"

Ms. Cui also looked at her daughter in front of her distractedly and said:

"Daughter, why do you blame me for this matter? Didn't I hope that you would marry a better husband in the future? How could I know that Jiang Chen's stupidity was fake. I Knowing that he can still win the first prize, it is even less likely that I would propose to cancel the engagement. Although I am trying my best to fight for your marriage, it is indeed a troublesome matter. Don’t forget, I But we have discussed it with Liu Ruyi of the Hou Mansion. After his son has achieved fame, he will put your marriage on the agenda. I have seen that in a few days, she will definitely come to talk about you and Jiang. Feng’s marriage.”

Liu Hanyan wiped the tears from his face and said to her:

"That's what you negotiated for her. She will marry whoever she wants. Anyway, I won't marry Jiang Feng."

Mrs. Cui is in a bad situation now. Originally, it was a great joy that her son won the second place in the ranking today.Unexpectedly, he was in a dilemma because of his daughter's marriage, and she shook her head in anger.

Jiang Chen couldn't go back in person to tell his family about winning the top prize because the court had already arranged for them to parade on horseback tomorrow.

Today's good news, he knew, was also delivered to the Hou Mansion.He sent Ah Fu home to tell his mother the news.

Ah Fu was particularly excited today, and it seemed like he never stopped for a moment.He had long thought about flying back quickly and telling his wife this great news, so that she would be happy too.

As soon as the young master gave the order, he would rush into high gear, eager to return home immediately.

When he came to the door, he kicked off his saddle and dismounted.Even his limping legs looked much neater.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted excitedly:

"Madam, madam, Wang Ma, the young master has won the first prize, the young master has won the first prize."

Wang Ma was the first to rush out of the house. As soon as she saw Ah Fu, she said to him:

"Afu, are you telling the truth? You mean our young master won the top prize."

Ah Fu had been running all the way, and although the coolness of late autumn was getting stronger, at this time, his head was steaming with heat and he was sweating.

When he saw Wang Ma asking him, he had no time to answer her and kept asking:

"Wang Ma, where is Madam? I want to tell Madam the good news first to make her happy."

As soon as Ah Fu finished speaking, he saw Li Susu walking out of the room.

She said eagerly to Ah Fu:

"Afu, what did you just say? Say it again."

Ah Fu came to the lady in two steps and said to him:

"Madam, I have great news for you. The young master has been selected by the emperor as the number one scholar."

Li Susu was so shocked by the news that she almost couldn't stand still. She looked at Ah Fu in front of her with some disbelief and said:

"Afu, have you not lied before? Are you saying that Chen'er has been selected as the number one scholar by the emperor?"

Ah Fu saw tears in Madam's eyes almost falling. He and Wang Ma hurriedly supported Madam and said:

"Yes, madam, the young master has really been selected as the number one scholar by the emperor. The good news has been sent to the Hou Mansion. Presumably the old lady has received the good news from the young master by now. This time, the Hou Mansion must bully the madam and the young master. Look, our young master is the top talent, they bullied us in the first place because they were blind."

As he was talking, he saw people commotion outside the gate. Ah Fu ran over quickly and saw the old lady walking in with the support of Jiang Yingxue and her mother-in-law.

Li Susu and Wang Ma saw it and hurriedly went up to greet the old woman and saluted when they saw her.

The old lady looked at Li Susu who had not seen her for more than a year and looked very haggard, so she said to her:

"Get up, I haven't seen you for more than a year. It was not my original intention to let you, a lady from the Marquis Mansion, come to live in such a rural farm. If it hadn't been affected by the affairs of your mother's family, I will never let you come to a place like this under any circumstances."

While he was talking, Ah Fu had already moved a chair out of the house and asked the old lady in the yard to sit down.

After I sat down, I continued:

"Perhaps you already know that we, Chen'er, have been so successful that we were awarded the first prize by the emperor. What an honor it is for our Hou Mansion. I have already sent people to report the matter of Chen'er's first prize as soon as possible. Go tell the two marquises. I think they will be very happy when they hear this. From now on, Chen'er will join the court as an official, and we can't let him live in a place like the countryside anymore. I'm coming here today , I just want to take you back to the Hou Mansion."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Li Susu said to the old lady:

"Old Madam, Susu thanks you for your kindness. Over the past year or so, I have become accustomed to living here, so I won't go back without bothering Madam."
