Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Zhou Tuanjin couldn't stop crying at this time.

"How can there be such parents and such uncles and aunts? They want to destroy my brother."

Li Jinglan also sighed, but she couldn't say bad things about other people's elders, so she could only sigh.

The Minister of Rites was not proposing a marriage for his own daughter, but for the daughter of a prince.

Why did the Minister of Rites stick his head out when he knew that the Prince of Jin lived in the Wang family?

This proves that the Minister of Rites had no other choice but to bite the bullet and wait for others to chop off his head.

Forget it. Uncle Zhou Jin probably won’t understand the deeper things.

Uncle Zhou Jin must have been dazzled by the word "Prince".

Agreed to the marriage.

It’s true that every family has a teammate who is always a drag.

Li Jinglan couldn't help but think of Zheng Hao, the only number one scholar in history who married a princess.

Fortunately, our dynasty does not allow civil officials to marry into the royal family, so they can only find one among the nobles.

Even if Zhou Jin's uncle agreed to this marriage, the emperor would not agree to the third place in the imperial examination marrying the county princess.

Once Zhou Jin married the county princess, his life would be ruined and he would never be able to be an official.

That prince!

I don't know whether he jumped out on his own initiative or was tricked by someone.

In short, it’s terrible!

After Zhou Jin came back, he heard what Zhou Tuanjin had to say and was so angry that he trembled all over.

Zhou Tuanjin apologized in tears: "I'm sorry."

Zhou Jin sighed: "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhou Tuanjin repeated what Li Jinglan said, "Sister-in-law said that the only way out now is for you to ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage."

"Your Majesty, please grant me a marriage?" Zhou Jin pondered.

This is really the only way out.

Your Majesty has granted the marriage, who dares to object?

All day long today, he was manipulated and tested back and forth by the ministers in the court.

Very tired.

I am a little envious of Lu Bozhou and the Wang brothers.

Lu Bozhou and Wang Zhenyan got married early.

Wang Yongqing got engaged.

Once you are married and engaged, you won't be caught on the list of sons-in-law.

Others thought that catching a son-in-law from the list was a good story.

Only the one who is caught knows.

It's despair and fear!

Who among the nobles in the court would he dare to offend?

Zhou Jin clenched his fists.

Decided to take a chance.

Lu Bozhou had just showered and had his hair loose, so he let Li Jinglan wipe it for him.

Lu Bozhou was very sleepy after not getting much sleep for two days.

Added one point after bathing.

Li Jinglan added another point when she helped him wipe his hair.

So much so that when Li Jinglan talked to him, she only heard two or three tenths of a sentence.

"...Husband?" Li Jinglan called a few times and saw Lu Bozhou with his eyes half closed.

"Go and rest."

Lu Bozhou forced his eyelids open: "I'll hold on for a while..."

Then, he sighed, "I'm so disappointed."

"What's wrong?" Li Jinglan changed to a clean towel and wiped his head.

"When my name is on the list of successful candidates, we will spend our wedding night together!" Lu Bozhou let out a long sigh and slowly fell onto the pillow.

“What a loss!”

he murmured.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

Li Jinglan covered him with a quilt and saw that he was sleeping soundly.

I smiled unconsciously.

……

The prince was wandering outside the imperial city, feeling distraught.

Look up at the sky from time to time.

Looking forward to dawn.

Looking forward to opening the palace gates.

Inside the palace, the emperor finished processing the last memorial.

Stretched a lot.

"Has the prince gone to bed?" the emperor asked the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, the prince fell asleep at midnight and had a bowl of rice porridge before falling asleep."

The emperor nodded, stood up and walked towards his bedroom.

The eunuch followed behind him.

The palace lanterns swayed in the hands of the eunuchs, reflecting the lights under the corridors.

As the emperor moved.

The lights behind me went out one by one.

The imperial study became pitch dark.

When they returned to the palace, the eunuch whispered, "The prince has been wandering outside the imperial city for nearly an hour and a half."

The emperor had no expression on his face. He dipped his hand in the hot water and said, "Why is he joining in the fun? Is he dissatisfied with the fact that his head doesn't sit properly on his shoulders and wants to pull it off?"

The eunuch dared not take up this topic and just lowered his head in silence.

"Cut off his salary for half a year and let him go home and reflect on his past." The emperor washed his hands and asked the eunuch to take off his boots.

During the palace examination, he had half-jokingly and half-warningly told the court officials not to fight.

As a result, the fight broke out again today.

He wanted to see who else wanted to jump out.

Thinking of the new third place in the imperial examination, the emperor thought of Lu Bozhou again.

He called over the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict to Lu Bozhou's house: "Liu Quan, what's going on with the Lu family?"

The Lu family that the emperor was asking about should not be the Lu family in Jiangnan. Liu Quan reacted quickly in his mind and answered with a bow.

"The top scholar's wife is very young, her manners are very formal, and her words are very kind."

Hearing three "yes" in a row, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did she give you some money?"

Liu Quan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not lie to your majesty. The top scholar did not give me a penny."

Liu Quan brought up the Prince of Jin as proof: "Your Highness also asked me about the Lu family's situation, and I answered in the same way."

Basically, when the emperor heard the name of Prince Jin, no matter how angry he was, his anger would almost subside.

Sure enough, the emperor hummed softly: "My brother didn't reward you?"

Liu Quan took out a silver note from his sleeve and held it in his hand: "The prince rewarded me with one hundred taels of silver."

"Too stingy." The emperor lay down.

After a while, the emperor said, "The weather is getting hotter. I will give the Prince of Jin a thousand taels of ice money."

The eunuchs dared not speak and remained silent.

Just when everyone thought the emperor was asleep, he suddenly spoke.

"The No. 1 scholar didn't give you anything, and the No. 3 and No. 2 scholars didn't give you any money either?"

The two eunuchs who were going to deliver the imperial edict to the third and second place winners knelt down at the same time.

"The third place scholar's sister Zhou received the imperial edict, but she didn't give me any money."

"I...I received two hundred taels of silver from the second place winner."

"The second place winner is so generous, I can't be stingy. Go to the inner treasury and get one hundred taels of silver." The emperor said in a low voice.

"…Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The next morning, the eunuch who had received two hundred taels of silver from the second place in the imperial examination went to the inner treasury to collect the silver.

It disappeared.

A few days later, a corpse was sent out from the palace.

I waited at the Lu family for several days.

King Jin finally met Lu Bozhou.

"This is Mr. Wu You." Li Jinglan introduced him to Lu Bozhou with a smile.

Lu Bozhou has been very busy these days. First, he went to the palace to meet the emperor, and then he was appointed as an official and reported to the Hanlin Academy.

Busy from morning to night every day.

As soon as he arrived home, Li Jinglan introduced King Jin to him.

Prince Jin had been observing Lu Bozhou carefully since he entered the room.

From walking posture, speaking expression, to emotional changes.

The more he looked, the more Jin Wang's brows furrowed.

"Hello, Mr. Wu You." Lu Bozhou really didn't recognize who the King of Jin was. He smiled and cupped his hands, "Sir, are you from Taixuan Temple?"

King Jin nodded: "A little Taoist priest from Taixuan Temple."

Taoist priest?

Lu Bozhou thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Wu You, I just happen to have something I want to ask you."

"Oh, what's the matter?" asked King Jin.

"I want to hold a ceremony to offer tribute to my late father and mother, but I don't know how to do it." Lu Bozhou carefully observed the expression of King Jin.

Prince Jin was stunned.

So you really treat me as a Taoist priest?

Li Jinglan clenched her fist and placed it to her lips, pursing her lower lips hard.
