Not even leaving a corner of the quilt for him?

He slowed down his movements, carefully sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled down the quilt covering her face.

He murmured in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of suffocating myself to death."

……

After his last excessive punishment, someone never smiled at him again.

Cheng Yan felt powerless and at a loss at the same time.

The punishment feels good for a while...well...

"We will go home after the list is down."

"it is good."

"Is there anything else you want to play? You can play in these days."

The man who was immersed in eating replied in a muffled voice: "I just want to sleep."

Cheng Yan sighed after hearing this, somewhat regretting that he punished her too impulsively.

"Then let's wait until the list is released before we go out."

Due to the war in their country, the list was not announced until several months later.

But it is also judged based on the time of seven days.

On the day when the list was released, he finally coaxed someone to put on the veil for her, and they went to the notice board together.

Cheng Yan is tall and stands out among the crowd.

His eyes scanned each name carefully.

Slowly, he frowned, without him?

Lichu stood on tiptoes and could barely see the notice clearly through some gaps. She said dumbly: "Hey? Why don't you, Ayan..."

Cheng Yan squeezed her hand tightly, pursed his thin lips slightly and said nothing, preparing to take her away.

"Give way, everyone, go away."

Suddenly there was a sound of officers and soldiers driving away from behind.

The two people who left turned back at the same time.

The officers and soldiers held a piece of paper in their hands and posted it on the notice wall.

Several people's names were clearly written on it.

Cheng Yan paused, surprise showing in his eyes.

Li Chu did the same. She shook his arm crazily and pointed at the sign, "Did you see it? There is you, there is you!"

She struggled to let go of his hand and ran closer to take a look.

Exploring flowers?

Li Chu pursed her lips, "How about Tanhua?"

Behind him, Cheng Yan walked up, "Tanhua?"

There was no emotion on his face, so Li Chu thought he was dissatisfied with his ranking, and was busy trying to comfort her: "It's okay, you won one of the three major titles. Among so many students, Ayan is the best!"

He looked at her and shook his head, "I'm not dissatisfied..."

Then he led her back to the inn.

Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums sounded outside the inn.

In contrast to the excited people around him, Cheng Yan drank tea calmly.

The person who delivered the good news came to congratulate him a few times.

Cheng Yan smiled and secretly stuffed a small purse into him.

The official who presented the wedding smiled knowingly and sighed that he was sensible.

Because the court lacks talents.

All the students who came to Beijing successfully this time were ordered to stay in Beijing and wait for their appointment.

They were also given accommodation first.

Although the house is small, it is enough for the two of them.

A small two-in-one courtyard on a residential street called Haitang Lane.

When the neighbors heard that a prostitute lived here, they all ran out excitedly. The smart ones even brought their unmarried daughters with them.

A group of people surrounded Tanhualang's house.

"I'll go out and deal with them. You wait for me in the house." After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Cheng Yan was not inferior to the number one scholar in terms of knowledge, but he just won the third prize.

He opened the door, and the noisy neighbors outside suddenly became excited.

They all greeted him.

Some even grabbed him and said, "Cheng Tanhua, do you want a wife? If you say yes, I will bring it to you right away!"

"No, ma'am!" He quickly refused and glanced into the room subconsciously.

Although there were no high-ranking officials living in this street, there were quite a few minor ones. When they saw the nervous and frightened look in his eyes, they didn't understand anything.

An old woman grabbed him and winked, seemingly cautiously, but in fact the sound was so loud that it hurt his ears.

"Yo!!"

"This man, who has some money but doesn't have a few women at home?" the aunt said loudly.

"Yes!" Those watching the excitement responded quickly.

"What's more, Mr. Cheng is still a prodigy, and he won't be allowed to marry a noble girl in the future? How normal is it to have several concubines in the family?"

"That's right, my little flower is [-] years old. She looks pretty and is ready to be married! Cheng Tanhua, will you consider it?"

Who doesn’t want to have some official connections these days?

Cheng Yan's head ached when he heard this. He pulled back his hands forcefully and rejected their kindness, "Thank you for your support. I don't think about the love between my children for the time being, so please don't talk about it anymore."

"What are you afraid of? That official doesn't look for concubines these days? What if you get married? His wife is a virtuous man, jealous. Cheng Tanhua is so young and beautiful, how can he be afraid of his wife? If she doesn't obey, she will be beaten. Just one meal." One of the sarcastic women said in a voice that couldn't stop being malicious.

Cheng Yan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his heart was worried, fearing that the person in the room would be angry if he heard this...

She should give birth, right?

He wasn't sure, but subconsciously hoped that she would be angry.

This way you have more reason to reject the enthusiasm of these people.

Seeing that he couldn't make sense, the crowd dispersed after seeing how Tanhua was doing.

Only a few good-looking girls shyly threw him a few embroidered handkerchiefs, turned around and ran away.

Cheng Yan: "..."

He looked at the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and turned around.

In the room, someone was lying at the window to peek, a trace of grievance flashed across his face, and he hurriedly closed the window.

Cheng Yan was anxious and quickly threw the embroidered handkerchief to the ground.

"Sister-in-law, open the door."

"I'm sleepy, I need to rest."

"Obey, open the door first."

"I really need to rest, please don't disturb me!"

"Sister-in-law..."

After that, during the days of waiting for the Lord's summons, there were inexplicably many more women in Haitang Lane.

They all like to gather at the end of the street.

At the same time, the questions that everyone is most concerned about have also been answered.

It turns out that the woman Cheng Tanhua brought was not his wife, but his brother's orphan and sister-in-law.

Li Chu reluctantly pushed open the door, leaned against it, and looked at the delicate and specially dressed women in front of her.

No wonder everyone thinks big cities are good.

Even her appearance is countless times better than that of Shantou, so I don't blame others for wanting to get into this golden nest.

"Sister-in-law Cheng~"

A woman shouted delicately.

The other women also quickly showed their attentiveness.

"Sister-in-law, I made some pastries today and brought them to you to try..."

"Sister-in-law, my craftsmanship is pretty good. This is what I show off..."

Lichu watched the show quietly, and she casually looked at the things they presented to her.

I sighed in my heart, I can't say these girls are bad, after all, you can enjoy the treatment of an official's wife when you marry, who doesn't want to?

She rejected their good intentions with a soft and sweet voice, which was much sweeter and more natural than their deliberately artificial voices.

"I won't accept it, you all can take it back."

"No, sister-in-law."

"Logically speaking, you shouldn't call me sister-in-law. Please don't bother me any other girls in the future. It's about attacking people's hearts, so what's the use of attacking mine." Lichu looked back at the man and smiled softly.

The girl's mind flashed, and the beauty in front of her closed the door.
