The old marquis smiled and said, "My wife has a bad temper, don't mind it."

Tang Jiang hurriedly shook his head: "No, no."

The old marquis continued: "But you should understand what she meant."

After a pause, he emphasized: "Tang Jiang, you should also know what happened in the imperial examination recently."

This was exactly what Tang Jiang was most anxious about. He nodded quickly: "Yes, I know."

"Something went wrong in the imperial examination. The emperor has been investigating it personally these days. Since he has investigated, he will definitely hold someone accountable." The old marquis firmly grasped Tang Jiang's concern, "You are the Minister of Rites, and you also participated in the imperial examination this time. You are a fifth-rank official with no background. If someone really wants to hold you accountable, do you think you are safe?"

When Tang Jiang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He whispered, "I did nothing wrong in this imperial examination. Please say a few good words to the emperor."

"Tang Jiang, then you have to have a relationship with me." The old marquis sneered arrogantly, "Otherwise why would I help you for nothing?"

He had made this very clear.

If he didn't marry his daughter today, it would be impossible for him to avoid slander, let alone good words.

Tang Jiang heard it clearly.

"Tang Jiang, hurry up and deal with that matter of the Bai family coming to propose marriage." The old marquis was very dissatisfied with this matter. He waved his hands irritably, "Why are you still putting on airs for your daughter in front of the Marquis' Mansion? Hurry up and let her marry into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. This is the only way out for your Bai family!"

Lifting the shelf?

Tang Jiang thought, how dare he put on airs in front of the Marquis' Mansion?

He had no choice.

At this point, he didn't dare to say more and could only nod in response.

And at the same time.

Tang Wanru and several noble ladies also came behind the screen.

Miss Li looked Zhou Ziyue up and down through the gap. He was still handsome, but compared with the stunning Bai Yanli just now, he was still three points behind.

and……

"Prince Zhou seems to have lost weight." Miss Li smacked her lips, "He doesn't look as tall and strong as before."

"Maybe he's been rejected too many times by Sister Tang and is sad." Miss Li guessed again.

Tang Wanru sneered: "He is a selfish person, how can he be sad for others?" What he did was only for himself.

"It is indeed necessary to refuse." Li Yuyan analyzed, "In terms of appearance alone, this Zhou Shizi is indeed not as good as the Bai family's son."

Miss Wu didn't say anything. She glanced at her and said, "You are acting on your own again. Sister Tang didn't say that."

Wu Ying looked at Tang Wanru's expression cleverly and said tentatively, "Wanru, this is enough."

"The wife of the Yongning Marquis is here today. If you refuse again, you will never be able to come back. The Yongning Marquis took great pains to marry you this time. I believe they will not treat you unfairly when you return." Wu Ying reminded.

marry?

Absolutely impossible!

After hearing this, Tang Wanru just found it ridiculous.

Outsiders did think that she was putting on airs, but only she knew that she despised, loathed and felt disgusted with the Yongning Marquis Mansion!

Someone from the Marquis’ Mansion.

She felt like vomiting just looking at it.

After hearing what Wu Ying said, Yang Lingling, the eldest daughter of the Yang family, thought that Tang Wanru really meant this and hurriedly said, "Sister Tang, please think twice. Although the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is good, that Prince Zhou has liked other women before. He also hid other women's names in his poems. Have you forgotten?"

"If he is so unfaithful, you will suffer if you marry him," said Yang Lingling.

Tang Wanru heard this.

She didn't say whether she would marry or not, she just curled her lips.

At this time, a voice came from the yard.

"Hey? Why are there gifts here? Where do these gifts come from?" It was Bai Ge's voice.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall looked away.

The Bai family came first, and the gift was also presented outside the side hall. He didn't see these when he came in and passed by the flower hall.

Zhou Wucai also frowned and looked away.

Bai Ge felt a little strange. When he turned around and saw Tang Jiang standing in the flower hall, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He took two quick steps forward and said, "Brother Tang, I was wondering why I had been waiting for you for so long and you didn't come. So you are here."

His enthusiasm showed that he had a particularly good relationship with Tang Jiang.

The old marquis immediately frowned.

Tang Jiang also looked embarrassed. He pushed Bai Ge towards the door and said, "Brother Bai, I have something to do here. Please wait for me in the side hall first."

"Is there something?" Bai Ge glanced at the people inside, and then combined with the etiquette in the yard.

I understood it instantly.

Isn’t the person sitting in the wheelchair Zhou Wucai, the Marquis of Yongning Mansion?

Met an opponent.

The Yongning Marquis Mansion came to propose marriage again.

Bai Ge couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did the Yongning Marquisate go to the Tang family to propose marriage three times?

What does Tang Wanru have on her?

Bai Ge was also a very smart person. He did not think that the daughter of a fifth-rank official was anything special enough to warrant the dignified marquisate to visit her three times in a servile manner.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge's eyes revealed some speculation.

"Brother Bai."

"Brother Tang, it's really a coincidence, it turns out it's the same thing." Bai Ge smiled generously, not only did he not leave, but he came back in, "Brother Tang, you too, there's nothing to hide, since everyone is here to propose marriage, then sit down and propose together, so you don't have to entertain twice, it's much easier."

As he said that, Bai Ge sat down on the chair directly opposite the old marquis.

"My Lord, we are all guests today, so I won't be polite to you."

Old Marquis:...

Zhou Wucai's face turned bad. Mrs. Du puffed up her cheeks. What kind of rule is this? A businessman can be on an equal footing with the Marquis's Mansion. Only the Tang family has this rule. But they are guests at this time, so it's not good to talk too much.

Zhou Wucai immediately gave Tang Jiangfei a cold look.

Tang Jiang hurriedly said: "Brother Bai, I'm sorry, this matter has been decided and we won't discuss it anymore. I'm really sorry, please go back first." At this point, Tang Jiang couldn't care less.

"It's decided?" Bai Ge was confused. How could it be decided when he hadn't even discussed it with him?

Even in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, there has to be a first come first served principle, right?

The Bai family arrived first.

"Brother Tang, my wife and I are still waiting for you to discuss in the side hall. How come it's decided? What has been decided?"

Tang Jiang also felt that this matter was unacceptable, so he simply said: "Brother Bai, I am really sorry. You know, the Yongning Marquis' Mansion has come more than once, and this time they are sincere. Wanru and Prince Zhou are a perfect match, so Wanru's marriage will be arranged at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion."

"This..." Bai Ge was about to laugh at what he said, "Brother Tang, does the Tang family's marriage proposal depend on the number of times you propose? Whoever comes the most times gets the prize?"

Tang Jiang's face turned pale.
