Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

After all, passing the imperial examination is not something that can be done by hard work alone, and sometimes it also depends on a bit of luck. After all, only two or three hundred people are selected in three years, and the chance of passing the exam is so small that it is not just about luck. Shen Yuanniang's slight movement caused some changes in the son of the loyal and brave bodhisattva, which was enough to prevent the son of the loyal and brave bodhisattva from passing the imperial examination like she did in her previous life.

If it was really Butterfly who was married off by Shen Yuanniang, then the loyal and brave uncle's son was quite unlucky to be harmed by Shen Yuanniang.

The reason why Shen Yuanniang is in a hurry to get engaged is very simple, because in her past life memory, the son of the loyal and brave earl is about to get engaged, and if she doesn't hurry up, she will miss out.

Marquis Jing'an had no choice but to send someone to test the Marquis Zhongyong's attitude.

When the Duke Zhongyong's Mansion heard that the Duke Jing'an's concubine's daughter wanted to marry his concubine's son, they had reason to be unwilling. After all, they also wanted to get close to the civil officials. Although the Duke Jing'an's Mansion was also a military family, Duke Jing'an passed the imperial examination and had transformed into a civil official. They naturally wanted to make friends with him. So after Duke Jing'an said something, Duke Zhongyong agreed, even though the other party's daughter had just broken off an engagement. After all, there were people in the capital who had broken off an engagement. The most important thing was to make friends with a civil official's family.

Since Earl Zhongyong agreed, the marriage was quickly arranged.

Other families in the capital saw that the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion first canceled the marriage with the second son of another civil official and noble family, and then got engaged to the illegitimate son of a military general's family like the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion. They were a little confused about what the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was thinking. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this kind of operation didn't make sense. Why did they cancel a good marriage and choose a bad one?

Others were puzzled by Shen Yuanniang's behavior. Shen Yuanniang was even more puzzled about why the reputation of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion had plummeted. In her previous life, Shen Erniang was famous for her poetry and married into a good family with her ability. Why did Shen Erniang say that her poems were written by others in this life, which led to her losing the title of a talented woman and no princes and nobles pursuing her. It seemed that she could not marry into a good family. What was she doing? Even because of her, the reputation of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion was affected. Was she a fool? She was so reckless.

Shen Yuanniang, who had no idea what Shen Erniang had experienced, was naturally curious about Shen Erniang's situation.

However, although it was strange, she was satisfied seeing that she had successfully gotten engaged to the concubine's son of the Loyal and Brave Earl and that she would become the wife of a third-rank official in the future. After all, not everyone could rise to the top from a little palace maid like the future imperial concubine in the palace. It was good enough for her to grab a potential stock with the advantage of her rebirth.

Although there are many princes and sons of the royal family in the capital, and naturally many of them will have extraordinary status in the future, why doesn't she marry others who will have a better future, but chooses to marry the loyal and brave son of a nobleman?
The reason was very simple. Princes and sons of the royal family were not within her reach now. And those men whom she could marry who had climbed up from lower positions and would be able to enter the cabinet and hold real power in the future were not people she could marry now. The Marquis of Jing'an could agree to her marrying the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Zhongyong. But if she said she wanted to marry a scholar who was thousands of miles away and who could enter the cabinet in the future and had not yet passed the imperial examination, how could her father let her marry?

As for those who have passed the imperial examination and will have a good future... they are generally married. After all, those who have passed the imperial examination are generally in their twenties, so how could they not be married? Even if she wanted to, she couldn't get married.

So after thinking it over, she realized that the person who would become successful in the future and whom she could marry would be the concubine's son of the loyal and brave baron. Firstly, their family backgrounds were similar, and secondly, they would not do badly in the future.

Speaking of which, if you have time to enter the palace, it is best to do good to the future favorite concubine who is still a palace maid for the time being. Maybe it will be beneficial to your husband's promotion in the future. After all, as the future favorite concubine, there is no telling how many people will curry favor with her and her family. Many people have gained benefits by currying favor with the favorite concubine's family and the favorite concubine.

Of course, she couldn't curry favor with the imperial concubine's family for the time being, because they were not in the capital at all, but were living a hard life in the countryside. After all, the future imperial concubine climbed up from a palace maid, so her background would naturally not be very good.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanniang began to think about how to win over the palace maid who would become the favorite concubine in the future when she entered the palace to attend the banquet held in the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Linlang listened to Shen Yuanniang talking about the imperial concubine who would become powerful in the future. In her original body's memory, there was naturally such a person. This little maid, named Cai Qing, caught the emperor's eye for some reason, and was promoted almost every year. In just a few years, she climbed to the position of imperial concubine. Needless to say, she was naturally the most favored in the harem, and she was very much like the heroine of the palace fight.

The reason why I say very much is that, based on Linlang's original body's memory, the actions of this woman's family do not seem like the script of a heroine, but rather a villain cannon fodder, because although they are as popular as Yang Guifei and her family at the time, such characters often end up in a miserable end, and often something bad happens in the second half.

Although the original body died early and she did not see how Concubine Wang developed later, but judging from the actions of the Wang family in the original body's memory, Linlang did not think that such a favored concubine who did not know how to restrain the behavior of her natal family would have a good ending in the future.

Of course, this is a world full of cheats. Maybe the woman has a cheat and nothing will happen. It is also possible.

In fact, Linlang felt that this Wang Caiqing was most likely using cheats. After all, her rocket-like promotion speed was too fast.

However, Linlang didn't care whether this person became the imperial concubine with the help of cheats, as long as she didn't cause trouble for her and the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

Judging from the original body's memory, this imperial concubine did not cause trouble to the original body and the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, at least on the surface, and that's enough.

What she needed to be more concerned about right now was the question asked by Lady Jing'an about who she would like to marry.

After Shen Yuanniang and Shen Erniang got engaged, there was no one engaged in the mansion yet, and the only girl who was old enough to get engaged was Linlang, so Lady Jing'an naturally began to ask her what she thought.

Yes, Shen Erniang is engaged.

After Shen Erniang's attempt to cause trouble failed, Earl Jing'an quickly found a marriage for her.

Of course, the family background of this marriage is relatively low, but fortunately the man is a legitimate son.

It is normal that the man's family background is relatively low, because all the wealthy and powerful families know what Shen Erniang has done. Her reputation has been ruined, and it is difficult to find someone willing to marry her, so Jing'an Bo can only look for someone lower down.

Although this man's family is of low status, he is the legitimate son and the eldest son. In the future, the bulk of the family property will belong to him, which makes up for this shortcoming very well. For Shen Erniang now, it is a good marriage. (End of this chapter)
