After the results were released, the capital suddenly became lively, especially the inn where the students stayed was different from the quiet before the scientific examination. It was as lively as the market in the morning. The students inquired about each other and congratulated each other, and the high-ranking families also sent People come to win over, and gifts are sent in a stream. You must know that officialdom is also divided into regions.

There are various factions and township parties. Those who got on the line before the scientific examination only need to send congratulatory gifts at this time, and then pick them up for the banquet with great fanfare. At this time when they were not on the line before, they are congratulating and trying to win over each other. .

Most of the adults in the court have factions. This is a good time to recruit new blood to their faction. Everyone spared no effort. Even Liu Muyun, who has already lived in the Cheng family courtyard, has been invited, which is equivalent to Ming Ming. powerful.

Before brother Cheng Daqi said anything, the emperor was very angry. Before they took action, the people below were simply snatching food from the tiger's mouth. They couldn't bear it. They immediately sent someone to find out how many students had accepted the benefits. In his eyes, accepting benefits from others would mean betraying him, and he would never give those people much chance.

"Brother, everyone is fighting over whether we should go too. If it's too late, we'll be gone."

Like the adults in the court, the students are also divided into two categories, one is those who are actively trying to climb up the ladder, and the other is just trying to get ahead by relying on their own abilities. They don't bother to climb up to the powerful. .

If the Cheng family makes it clear now that it is too late, they can only try to win over those down-to-earth people, which is very difficult.

Cheng Daqi shook his head, "Don't be meddlesome. Every family in the imperial court's selection of talents is frantically wooing them for their own gain. How can the emperor be willing?"

"We just need Liu Muyun."

He had already shamed Liu Muyun in front of the emperor. As long as he didn't perform abnormally during the imperial examination, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Mr. Cheng had always listened to his eldest brother, so he stopped thinking and only focused on the matter at hand, ignoring everything else.

Except for celebrating Liu Muyun, the Cheng family members didn't pay much attention to external affairs. They were all busy with other things.

Perhaps it was because of the old lady of the Yuan family that Mrs. Yuan discovered that Cheng Xiaosi was not only good at eating, drinking and having fun, but also had some skills. Therefore, not only did Yuan Sijin come to the Cheng family more often, but the old lady also often invited Cheng Xiaosi over. After passing the meeting, she probably wanted to see what other abilities she had and what kind of surprises she could give them.

"How is this family? He is the only son in the family, and he is born Zhou Zheng. There will be no conflicts between sisters-in-law in the future. I heard that Mr. Wu is extremely filial."

Mrs. Yuan was choosing a husband for Yuan Sijin. She went through many choices and was not satisfied. She asked Cheng Xiaosi to help with the selection. Cheng Xiaosi read it and said, "You just said that Mrs. Zhang loves Mr. Zhang very much. The old lady of the Zhang family also saw it." His eyes are average, and even the girls around him must be strictly monitored. He is also an only child, so he has less trouble, so he looks good."

Just as Mrs. Yuan was about to nod, Cheng Xiaosi changed the subject, "If it were me, I wouldn't choose this man. My mother said that teeth and lips are so good that they are sometimes bitten. It is inevitable that couples will have quarrels when they get along. At that time, the young couple had a conflict, Mr. Zhang was angry, and Mrs. Zhang, the elder and the elder, couldn't help but feel so distressed?"

"It's better not to touch such a big treasure as much as you can't afford to offend him."

"By marrying her, you are not finding yourself a husband, you are simply finding an ancestor."

Yuan Sijin nodded repeatedly at the side, "I have seen this person before. He is very feminine. He opens and closes his mouth and says 'my mother said'. This is not okay."

Mrs. Yuan thought for a while and shook her head, then talked about the next thing, "There are five brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the fourth. There are three sisters at the top and a brother at the bottom. I heard that the family is very strict with him."

Cheng Xiaosi asked again, "Are the three eldest aunts easy to get along with?"

"It's fine if she's easy to get along with, but I'm afraid I'll meet the kind of sister who acts like a mother-in-law and I can't afford to offend her."

Yuan Sijin said again, "One of them is married far away, and the other two go back to their parents' homes every now and then. Their lives are in chaos. I don't think it's okay."

Cheng Xiaosi raised his eyes, "You know a lot." Yuan Sijin spread her hands, not looking at how many banquets she had been to and how much gossip she had heard, "There is nothing about the people on the book that I don't know. I don’t think it’s okay.”

Cheng Xiaosi was helpless, so why did he ask her to do it?

Mrs. Yuan was helpless. She was really spoiled for choice. She felt that the more she looked at it, the worse it became compared to the ones she had seen before. "If it doesn't work, just choose one of the students outside."

Yuan Sijin glanced at Cheng Xiaosi, and his ears turned red strangely. Cheng Xiaosi, who had always been a bit slow, suddenly became smart again, "Liu Muyun?"

Yuan Sijin nodded shyly, "I think it's okay, but I don't know what's going on at home."

"Who is Liu Muyun?"

Mrs. Yuan became interested, and Cheng Xiaosi introduced her, "I have been preparing for the palace exam for the past two days, and I haven't even left the house."

"Poor family?"

Mrs. Yuan felt that it was not suitable because the family background gap was too big.

"He is not poor. He has a private school. I haven't asked him about the details. However, my second uncle likes him very much and he is good-looking."

Cheng Xiaosi said that he had never been a matchmaker and didn’t know what to say. Liu Muyun’s family background was indeed not very good, but he could be considered an innocent family and came from a scholarly family. It depends on what the Yuan family wanted. ?

Whether to marry into an established family or to cultivate a new force, one has to make a choice. She hasn't done it yet, and what she just said is actually too much.

Mrs. Yuan took it seriously and decided to discuss it with Yuan Pei later. She also knew that Cheng Xiaosi had something to say, but she could understand it.

"My mother has almost chosen sons from all the families in the capital for me. You don't know it yet, but Niu Wanqing is already engaged. She is a subordinate of General Niu and comes from a family of military generals."

"My mother is even more anxious."

Cheng Xiaosi really didn't know about this, "I don't know at all."

Yuan Sijin said: "The families of military generals are like this. Once they see each other, the two families will make an agreement directly. Unlike the families of civil servants, who have more etiquette. What do you think I should do?"

"I don't think any of them work."

Cheng Xiaosi sighed quietly, "Think about it from another angle. If I was thinking pessimistically at that time, your fifth brother has a bad reputation. He is quite old and has no serious job. Should I also give up?"

"The people in the brochure I mentioned just now are actually not objective. After all, they have not understood it. They all think according to conventional ideas. Although Mr. Zhang is an only son and is a big treasure in the eyes of the elders, he He has to support his family by himself, and I think my family is very strict with him in other aspects, so he might still be a bad person."

"The same goes for having many sisters. Everything has good and bad points. How can there be anyone who is perfect in everything?"

"If you really can't find anything wrong with me, you might say you're just faking it."

Yuan Sijin burst out laughing, "That's the truth, but it's really impossible to have too many eldest babies and sisters." (End of Chapter)
