Chapter 155
Among them, Miss He San, whom Pu Xiuwen married, is the most like Mr. He among all the children in the He family.
Although because of this, she was very favored by Minister He, and Pu Xiuwen also gained the respect of Minister He, but Pu Xiuwen was very disgusted with Miss He San's appearance.
Pu Xiuwen originally thought that the wife Ye Ximing married was just a village woman, and even if she was not vulgar, she would never be too outstanding. But what he didn't expect was that Ye Ximing's wife turned out to be a beautiful woman.
Forget it, she doesn't have a bit of a submissive and petty attitude about her, and she doesn't look like a country woman who has never seen much of the world.
Ye Ximing didn't know Pu Xiuwen's jealousy. He took Zhou Ran's hand and said goodbye to Fei Nanxing and others with a smile, and then got into the carriage with Zhou Ran.
Watching Zhou Ran's carriage go away, Xu Jin shook his folding fan and sighed: "I also want a wife to take me out of my job."
Fei Nanxing didn't take Xu Jin's words and kept walking forward.
Pu Xiuwen smiled and said, "This is not easy. Brother Xu just needs to get married as soon as possible. With Brother Xu's family background and appearance, there are many women who want to marry Brother Xu."
Xu Jin shook his head and said, "Brother Pu is wrong. Getting married is easy, but finding someone who shares your mind is even more difficult."
Moreover, he could not make the decision on his own marriage. Thinking of this, Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh again.
On the carriage, Ye Ximing held Zhou Ran's hand and asked with a smile: "Why did you remember to pick me up?"
Zhou Ran said: "I came as soon as I wanted to, what? Are you not happy that I came to pick you up?"
Ye Ximing squeezed Zhou Ran's hand and said with a helpless smile: "Madam, please don't accuse your husband unjustly. Can't you tell if your husband is unhappy?"
How could you not see it? Everyone could see the happy look on Ye Ximing's face.
Zhou Ran smiled, stopped teasing Ye Ximing, and said seriously: "Miss Gao didn't come today. Have you given up?"
Ye Ximing: "Is the lady here for her?"
Zhou Ran said: "She is pestering you like that. I have to see what my love rival looks like."
Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran, and the smile on his face gradually widened.
Zhou Ran looked at the smile on his face and said awkwardly: "Why are you laughing?"
Ye Ximing smiled and asked, "Madam, are you jealous?"
"I don't." Zhou Ran denied hastily: "You don't like her, why should I be jealous? Am I the kind of unreasonable person?"
Ye Ximing looked at the thin blush on Zhou Ran's cheeks, held her in his arms, and said in her ear with a smile: "Yes, the lady is not jealous, she is just talking nonsense for her husband. The husband wants his wife to be jealous of her husband.”
In the past few days, Ye Ximing told Zhou Ran about Gao Rongyue, although the main reason was that he was afraid that if he didn't tell her, if one day Zhou Ran heard some misunderstanding from others, or Gao Rongyue came to Zhou Ran directly, she would I don't know what I'm going to suffer from.
But he didn't try or test whether Zhou Ran would be jealous because of this.
Zhou Ran had been very indifferent these past two days. He was a little disappointed at first, but now he knew that Zhou Ran did care about him and would be jealous for him.
Zhou Ran was silent for a while, then raised her hand to hug Ye Ximing back, and said softly: "I'm a little jealous, but it's not because I don't believe you."
No woman would feel comfortable knowing that her husband-in-law is involved with another woman.
"I know, I know, being jealous means you care about me." Ye Ximing's voice was filled with excitement. Seeing Ye Ximing like this, Zhou Ran suddenly understood that emotional matters don't seem to have to be treated rationally all the time.
Wei Yan and the others also noticed Ye Ximing's good mood today when he returned home.
Wei Yan asked with a smile: "Third brother, what kind of happy event have you encountered? Are you in such a good mood?"
Ye Ximing said with a bit of showoff, "Your third sister-in-law went to pick me up today."
Wei Yan looked at the smile on the corner of Ye Ximing's mouth and said with sadness and envy: "If I go to work, my little sister will also pick me up."
Ye Ximing glanced at him lightly and said, "Tomorrow is the Shujishi exam. How are you preparing?"
He also hoped that Ye Xiaomei would have the opportunity to go to the Hanlin Academy to take over Wei Yan's resignation, but this was only if Wei Yan could be selected as a concubine this time.
When Ye Ximing asked about this, Wei Yan was a little frustrated and said indifferently: "I probably can't be chosen."
Although he had been studying hard during this period, he knew his own level, and he definitely had no share in the selection of Shujishi.
If the imperial court had not stipulated that all new scholars must participate in the selection of Shujishi, he might not have taken the exam at all.
Seeing Wei Yan like this, Ye Ximing patted his shoulder and said, "Just do your best."
After speaking, he asked Wei Yan: "What are your plans?"
If the Shujishi are not selected, the remaining Xinke Jinshi will start to be vacated. They have no connections in Beijing. It is definitely impossible to stay in Beijing. If they want to go to those wealthy prefectures or counties, it may be easy to achieve political achievements. It may be difficult for them to move to other prefectures and counties.
Wei Yan had considered this matter carefully, and he said, "I want to become the magistrate of a small county."
The county magistrate of a small county may not be as easy to be promoted as other positions in the government. In the eyes of some people, being a county magistrate of a small county may not be as good as being the magistrate of some wealthy and large counties. However, Wei Yan feels that being a county magistrate is the minimum. Don't be constrained by others in your actions.
Ye Ximing heard Wei Yan's thoughts and agreed with him.
The next day, after Ye Ximing went to take office, Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen also went to participate in the selection of Shujishi.
The selection of Shujishi was the same as the palace examination, and the results came out on the same day. Cao Bingwen was lucky to be selected, but Wei Yan was not selected without any surprise.
However, because he had expected it, Wei Yan was not too disappointed with this result. After returning, he even shouted to celebrate Cao Bingwen.
Fei Nanxing was also invited to his home by Ye Ximing.
After half the wine tour, Wei Yan raised his wine glass and said regretfully: "In the future, when I go to other places, it will not be easy for me to get together with you for a drink."
No one at the table made any whimsical suggestions to let Wei Yan seek a job in the capital.
Cao Bingwen raised the wine in his glass and clinked it with Wei Yan, and said with a high-spirited smile: "You have gone to other places to work hard and try to be transferred back to the capital as soon as possible. We can get together again then."
Cao Bingwen was really happy today. Whether it was the general examination or the palace examination, his results were better than Wei Yan's, but compared to others, they were only average.
He originally thought that he would be like Wei Yan, and would probably become a small county magistrate or county magistrate. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to choose Shu Jishi.
Wei Yan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and said with the same smile: "Then let me borrow your good words from Brother Cao. I hope we can meet again in the capital as soon as possible."
