Chapter 357: The Scholar Who Married into the Imperial Examination (Extra)
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The new number one scholar is actually the son-in-law of my brother!" The little boy shouted loudly while standing in the busy market.
Everyone was attracted by the little boy's words.
"Marrying into the brother's family?! The top scholar is actually marrying into the brother's family? Is this true or not?"
"How is it possible?! Everyone knows that our Jiang Zhuangyuan is very powerful. He won the first place in the imperial examination. We are the only one who has won the first place in the imperial examination in the whole Jin Dynasty."
"Kid, who told you that?"
……
The little boy looked up and said, "Not long ago, the emperor wanted to grant a marriage to the number one scholar..."
Before the little boy finished speaking, someone interrupted and said, "A marriage grant?!"
"Which family has such good luck?"
"Of course it's the third prince that His Majesty loves the most." The little boy quickly replied, "Everyone knows that the third prince is the only son of the emperor and he loves him very much.
The emperor actually betrothed the third prince to the number one scholar. It can be imagined how much the emperor values the number one scholar.
Unexpectedly, the champion refused directly in front of all the officials, and even said that he was already married, and married into the wife's family. "
When everyone heard what the little boy said, they couldn't help but ask, "How dare the number one scholar? Isn't he afraid that the emperor will deprive him of his title of number one?"
He paused and continued, "Also... that's the prince. Doesn't the number one scholar want to be the prince at all? If it were me, who would want that miserable wife?"
"Humph! You have no conscience." Suddenly one of the guys stood up to refute, his voice mixed with anger: "Do you think everyone can pass the exam and become the top scholar? For someone like you who hasn't even become the top scholar yet, you're already thinking of abandoning your wife, bah!"
"The number one scholar can refuse the emperor's marriage for her husband. I think he must love his husband deeply. Who is the husband of the number one scholar? How enviable!"
“I heard that he was just a merchant, his parents loved each other very much, and he was the only child.
The number one scholar is really lucky. "
Just as everyone was sighing, the little boy suddenly said, "There is another thing. I heard that on the day when the number one scholar was paraded through the streets, the third prince happened to see the number one scholar and fell in love with him at first sight.
Afterwards, she begged the emperor to grant her a marriage, but was rejected by the emperor. She then learned that Jiang Zhuangyuan already had a husband, so she went straight to the door. "
The boy's words aroused everyone's interest, and they asked, "Then what? Then what?"
The boy spread his hands and said helplessly: "To know what will happen next, wait a few more days."
"It's boring. I can't finish my speech halfway. It's really uncomfortable."
Then, the little boy smiled and said, "Although I haven't found the follow-up, I have all the gossip and interesting stories about the No. 1 scholar and his husband, as well as the No. 2 and No. 3 scholars.
Five cents per copy, first come first served."
When everyone heard the gossip from others, their eyes lit up and said, "I want a copy."
"I want one too."
"And I."
"I also want."
......
As soon as Jiang Zui returned home, he saw the man sitting in the hall. He was stunned for a moment, then strode to Hang Huaijing and whispered, "I'm back."
Instead of paying any attention to Jiang Zui, Hang Huaijing glared at him fiercely.
Jiang Zui looked at Hang Huaijing's fierce eyes with a puzzled expression.
How did he offend Xiao Fulang? !
Could it be... that I pushed too hard last night?!
No way? !
Hang Huaijing introduced with a perfunctory smile: "Husband, this is..."
Before Hang Huaijing finished speaking, the man took the lead to explain: "I am the current third prince. I came here today to ask you something."
As soon as Jiang Zui appeared, the Third Prince focused all his attention on Jiang Zui, looking him up and down, nodding silently in his heart.
Not bad, not bad, it turned out to be the person he liked.
pity!
How come there is an owner? !
He is the emperor's child, he has nothing he wants, but the person in front of him...
never mind!
Jiang Zui and his husband were so loving, and he didn't want to ruin their relationship.
So be it.
But he still felt a little unwilling.
How is he worse than Hang Huaijing? !
The Third Prince was always outspoken. In front of Hang Huaijing, he asked Jiang Zui directly: "Jiang Zui, why did you refuse the marriage?!"
"Third Prince, I think I have made it very clear. I already have a husband."
"So what? If you want, I can make your husband disappear."
"I don't want to." Hearing this, Jiang Zui retorted subconsciously.
Jiang Zui pulled Hang Huaijing to him, with a protective attitude, and shot a sharp look directly at the Third Prince. His tone was extremely cold, and he said sarcastically: "Third Prince, is there anything else? If not, please leave."
Hang Huaijing looked at Jiang Zui defending him, with both emotion and joy in his eyes.
When the Third Prince saw how affectionate Jiang Zui and Hang Huaijing were, he didn't even want to question them and just left.
After the Third Prince left, Hang Huaijing took a deep breath, fell into Jiang Zui's arms, and said softly, "I was scared to death. I thought the Third Prince wanted to snatch you from me."
"Are you jealous?" Jiang Zui teased.
"Who... who is jealous?!" Hang Huaijing was exposed by Jiang Zui, feeling a little shy, but pretending to be firm. He pulled Jiang Zui's sleeve and asked, "Let me ask you, if... the emperor insists on granting you a marriage, what... what will you do?"
Jiang Zui took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "What else can we do? We can't just ignore our lives, right?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying that if the emperor insists, you will marry the third prince? And then divorce me?" Hang Huaijing's eyes were slightly red. When he thought of Jiang Zui divorcing him and marrying someone else, his tears could not stop flowing down. He cried and said, "Okay, Jiang Zui, you ungrateful villain..."
Seeing Hang Huaijing crying so sadly, Jiang Zui immediately comforted her, "Husband, what nonsense are you thinking about? How could I divorce you? Even if I want to divorce you, you should divorce me.
Don't forget, I am the one you married."
Then he continued, "Use your little head and think about it carefully. If I wanted to marry the prince, I would have quickly agreed when the emperor said he would grant me the marriage.
But I didn’t, I refused directly.
I still refused in front of all the civil and military officials.
Husband, you think of me like this, it makes me so sad. "
Jiang Zui's voice sounded very aggrieved when he said the last sentence.
Seeing this, Hang Huaijing felt inexplicably guilty.
Yes, if Jiang Zui really had that idea, he should have agreed to it from the beginning. Why would it have come to this?
Jiang Zui took the opportunity to chase him and said, "I don't care, you have to compensate me."
"Okay, tell me, what compensation do you want?!" Hang Huaijing said seriously in his eyes.
"You must agree to three requests of mine."
"it is good."
"First, you are not allowed to be jealous in the future."
"Okay." Hanghuai Jingzhi nodded in response.
"Second, don't let your imagination run wild."
"Ah."
"Third, you have to meet all my requirements."
"But...wait, what did you say?!" Hang Huaijing had just said one word when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "This one is not allowed."
“You have no right to veto.”
After Jiang Zui finished speaking, he directly picked up Hang Huaijing and scared him.
"Ah?!" Hang Huaijing put his hand on Jiang Zui's chest and asked with confusion in his eyes: "What are you doing?!"
"you!"
Hearing Jiang Zui's words, Hang Huaijing's face suddenly turned red, his pupils widened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Jiang Zui, you...you..."
"Okay, let's do the important thing first." Jiang Zui said as he hugged Hang Huaijing and walked towards his yard.
Hang Huaijing was not as shameless as Jiang Zui. He buried his face in Jiang Zui's arms and whispered in Jiang Zui's ear as they walked: "Is this the serious matter you were talking about?!"
Ah! Whose business is this? !
"Isn't this business?" Jiang Zui asked instead of answering.
Hang Huaijing looked at Jiang Zui's sincere eyes and was speechless for a moment.
Why are all these things in Jiang Zui's mind...
