Chapter 560: This Husband Is a Bit of a Rogue13

Shuyan Shangshen sighed.

"I hope that guy can repay his kindness and not be ungrateful."

The system nodded, "If he really doesn't dare to marry you for the sake of face, then it's okay not to get married." It's better not to hang yourself on a tree stubbornly.

Isn’t it fragrant to other trees?

God Shuyan was amused by the system.

"Let's go to the theater."

Today's palace examination only lasts for one day, and the paper will be handed in at dusk. After you finish writing, hand the paper to the examiner.

At that time, the readers will take turns reading. Select the ten papers with the best results from among many papers.

Finally, the best papers were presented to the emperor, who appointed the first three people for imperial approval.

After Stinky Goudan handed in the paper, his palms were sweaty.

He was able to get to where he is today not only because of his talent, but also because of his hard work of burning the midnight oil and reading every night. It was not easy to get to where he is today step by step.

He was eager to succeed and to give himself an explanation to Wang Xinyue, so he became more and more nervous.

As the quicksand funnel passed little by little, the hall became quiet except for the small sounds of some officials communicating with each other.

Stinky Goudan felt that his forehead was sweating.

He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Looking at this fragrant handkerchief, he calmed down a little.

The results of the imperial examination were not calculated until the emperor reviewed the three best articles.

After the emperor approved the first three, he asked the eunuch to read it out.

When the eunuch took the list and was about to read it out, the hair on Smelly Goudan's body stood on end.

He was excited and nervous, holding his hands tightly.

"This year Jinke's top pick is Xu Lili~"

"Second place on the list, Huang Decai~"

Stinky Goudan didn't expect that this year's new top pick would be the last to be announced.

His name was not included in the top two picks just now, so next, he can only take the last place.

He pinched his sleeves tightly, not even daring to hear the name of Jinke No. 1 Scholar.

However, the eunuch's voice fell silent for a moment and then continued singing.

"This year's number one scholar is Zheng Ming~"

Oh my God, it's really him.

Stinky Goudanxi’s whole head was confused.

He was a little excited, but also a little unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, he was actually in high school.

The eunuch saw that he was in a daze and understood his mood, so he joked, "No. 1 Scholar, please thank me."

"Yes, yes. Sir, thank you~"

After saying that, he knelt down and thanked the third overall pick.

The emperor saw that they had learned a lot at a young age and nodded with satisfaction.

Then they asked the eunuchs to announce their official positions and gave them some rewards.

Stinky Goudan received more rewards, his articles were good, and the emperor liked him very much.

The emperor appreciated his talent and gave him a scholar's palace.

The smelly beggar knelt down with gratitude, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness~"

After the rankings were announced, the emperor ordered to withdraw from the court.

After the emperor left, other officials congratulated the winner.

After congratulating the second overall pick, everyone came to congratulate the top pick.

"The number one scholar is so young. He looks formidable and will become a great person in the future."

"Yes, the number one scholar is so young, he must have put in a lot of effort in studying."

Everyone praised me so much that I felt so happy.

But on the surface, he still said no very respectfully. "My lords, you are so complimentary."

When those officials saw that he was humble and orderly, they asked him, "Does the number one scholar have a wife?" If not, they can ask his daughter.

Stinky Goudan opened his mouth and was about to speak. The other adults smiled and said, "I don't think so. The number one scholar looks quite young. I guess he hasn't married yet, right?"

Others agreed, "I just don't know what kind of woman our No. 1 Scholar likes? My youngest daughter is sixteen years old and has a gentle temperament. But I just don't know if the No. 1 Scholar is interested in her?"

This was said in a joking manner, and after hearing this, everyone said that the official was a thief, and his movements were so slippery.

Stinky Goudan was choked for a moment as he listened to what they said to each other, not knowing how to speak.

He actually wants to say that he already has a wife, but he hasn't officially proposed marriage yet.

But if he tells it, people will definitely know about his past.

If that happens, everyone will alienate him or even look down on him after knowing that he is a stinky beggar.

So he hesitated, saying that he was tired from the exam and wanted to go back to rest, and then ran away in a hurry.

However, as soon as he left the palace, he was stopped by the servants of the Zhenguo Duke's family.

"Master Zhuangyuan, our father-in-law invites you."

"The Duke of the State?" Stinky Goudan was puzzled, "I'm looking for the Duke of the State. Is there anything wrong?"

The servant replied, "The Duke heard about Zhuangyuan Lang's high school and wanted you to come over and discuss some matters."

This is strange to say. Stinky Goudan knows that he doesn’t know anyone from the Duke’s mansion, so how could the Duke come to discuss matters with him?

But the servants had brought out the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo, so naturally they wouldn't cheat.

Stinky Goudan thought for a while, the Duke of Guo was much more powerful than him, so naturally he couldn't refuse, so he got on the carriage.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the servant invited Stinky Goudan in.

Stinky Goudan was worried all the way, secretly wondering why the Duke invited him here? Are you here to have sex with him too?

But in the blink of an eye, I realized that even if he wasn't a beggar, he was just an ordinary scholar. How could the Duke's mansion like him?

When he arrived at the reception hall, he saw the Duke of Guo sitting there.

"Is the Number One Scholar here?"

Stinky Goudan saluted, clasped his fists and bowed his head, saying, "The Duke is well."

Seeing his talent, the Duke of Guo immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Sit down quickly."

Stinky Goudan felt uneasy, but he sat down and waited for the Duke's words.

Duke Zhen Guo first looked at his figure and then his facial features.

At first, he felt that this new top scholar was really handsome.

But when I looked at his facial features again, I felt that this No. 1 scholar looked familiar. He seemed to have seen that face somewhere before.

However, Duke Zhen Guo didn't think much about it. He just thought that he had seen many people and felt familiar to everyone he saw.

So he opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "No. 1 Scholar, do you have a wife?"

Stinky Goudan didn't expect him to actually ask this, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I……"

Why do these two people suddenly want to get married to him? He clearly wants to marry Wang Xinyue.

The Duke of Zhen Guo did not look at his expression and said to himself, "My little girl is only nineteen years old, and she looks about the same age as the number one scholar. However, my little girl has a hard life. Her husband died early one year after she got married, and she was brought back not long ago. "

"Although she is a new widow, if the number one scholar does not dislike it, the dowry for my daughter will definitely be large in the future. And in the future, our two families will become in-laws. If the number one scholar needs anything, he can ask for it. I will definitely spare no effort. Help your son-in-law."

What he said made Stinky Goudan feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, there were no other outsiders here. He thought for a while and said truthfully, "Sir, I have already been engaged to a wife. After high school today, I will go to my father-in-law's house to propose marriage, and then I will go to the wedding hall with my wife to get married." .So this matter..."
