Chapter 196 The father who sells his son and daughter Thirty-nine
Yao Qiyue did not agree. She only left a few words to see how he behaved and then closed the courtyard door.
After a while, he opened the door again and came out, took away the brocade box in Han Wenqing's hand, then closed the door and returned to the house.
Even so, it was enough to make Han Wenqing happy all night, but he didn't expect there would be a surprise the next day.
After packing their things in the early morning, they walked out of the back door and saw Yao Qiyue riding a horse already waiting at the door.
Yao Qiyuan exclaimed: "Eldest sister?"
"Yes! I will escort you to Beijing."
"This...isn't this good?" Both of them blushed. A tall, seven-foot man actually wanted a woman to escort him.
However, Han Wenqing was relatively calm. He bowed his hands and thanked her, saying, "The young lady's safety must be taken care of by the young lady."
After Yao Qiyuan got on the carriage, he hesitated a little, and wanted to remind... a woman's nickname can only be called by her family.
I am also afraid that I will embarrass my friends by speaking too clearly.
In the end, he reminded him tactfully, but Han Wenqing just pretended to be stupid and passed by.
…………
In mid-July, they arrived in the capital.
Brother and sister Yao Qiyue took the generous gifts prepared by their father and knocked on the door of the general's mansion.
I heard that General Cao's health was getting worse and he was already on his deathbed.
When Yu Qingyuli and others came to the capital, they had to come and greet them.
Yao Qiyuan felt a little nervous. His memory of Cao Jiayun was still in his childhood. The correspondence between them over the years and the close connection between them made him already identify this fiancée.
After studying hard for many years, I also wanted to marry her in a glorious future.
When he heard about their arrival, General Cao was very happy. If his granddaughter hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to stand up and pick up the two siblings.
The moment the door to the General's Mansion opened.
Yao Qiyuan suddenly felt that some idioms are naturally suitable for certain people.
Her beautiful eyes are full of hope, her smile is charming, and her temperament is as ethereal as an orchid.
The beauty's smile made the siblings fascinated, and they were stunned on the spot.
The two of them came to their senses when the beauty called worriedly, and Yao Qiyuan lowered his head shyly.
Yao Qiyue praised generously: "Sister Yun'er, I haven't seen you for many years, but now you make me, a woman, fascinated by you."
Cao Jiayun had a pink face and rosy cheeks, her cheeks were slightly hot, she lowered her head and gently brushed the stray hair around her ears.
"Sister Tuantuan is so impressed! Come into the house quickly, grandpa is almost impatient to wait."
"Sorry for disturbing you."
………
Several people came to General Cao's room. The smell of medicine filling the room was enough to indicate the old man's physical condition.
After chatting for a while, General Cao ordered Cao Jiayun with loving eyes: "Yun'er, take your sister Yue to the garden to see the flowers."
Everyone understood that the old general wanted to send people away to talk to Yao Qiyuan alone.
They retreated as told...
Only the old man and Yao Qiyuan were left in the room.
"Are you sure about this imperial examination?"
Yao Qiyuan replied humbly and respectfully: "I'm sure I'll win, but I'm not sure whether I can win the top three."
"It's fine if you have success in your own mind. I don't understand the formalities of your civil servants.
You've also seen it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on much longer, what do you think about your marriage to Yun'er?"
"Qi Yuan has long recognized Yun'er as his wife, but I don't know what she thinks. I'll give the general an answer after I ask her what she means."
Seeing that Yao Qiyuan put his granddaughter's wishes first, General Cao stroked his gray beard on his chin with satisfaction.
"Okay, if you both agree, then get married as soon as possible. I have already taken care of all the funeral arrangements."
"General... you're going to be fine."
"Haha! There is no need to comfort me, and there is no need to call me general anymore. Now I am the brave lord.
Treat Yun'er well, she is a kind girl, don't let her down! If one day you change your heart, just send her away alive!
In short, if you bully her, I will not let you go even if I go to the underworld."
Yao Qiyuan swore a poisonous oath in front of Cao Houye's hospital bed to show his sincerity.
Both siblings moved into the Hou Mansion, and they were worried about Han Wenqing staying alone in the inn, so they brought him in too.
The four of them went out for an outing together, went on flower boat rides at night, watched lanterns, flew kites, read and discussed knowledge together.
Although Yao Qiyue focuses on martial arts, he has not fallen behind in literature.
There is a magistrate father and a scholar brother. Under the influence, she can also be a semi-talented woman.
…………
Time for fun always passes very quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the scientific examination came.
That day, Cao Jiayun and Yao Qiyue sat in a carriage and sent them to the examination room.
When Han Wenqing left, he looked back and said with a smile: "Wait for me!"
The entrance exam for marrying Yao Qiyue was to win, otherwise he would have no shame in begging to marry the eldest daughter that his benefactor's family held in his hands...
Yao Qiyuan has a relatively shy personality. What he wanted to say was said yesterday. Today he just held a lucky bag in his hand and waved to his fiancée.
Cao Jiayun pinched the silk scarf's slender fingers and waved goodbye to him.
Three days later, they rode in a carriage together to take the two depressed people back to the general's mansion.
Everything that follows will be announced in three days.
………
Crackling~~
Dong Dong Qiang!
Three days later, the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the streets, indicating that they were going to pick up the top three teams.
Yao Qiyuan was very calm and had no expectations in his heart.
Just because Mr. Cao Hou told him that day that if he wanted to marry Yun'er, he couldn't be among the top three.
After he got a slight ranking, he smoothed things over and arranged for him to take up a post near Yuan Ding County. After Lord Cao died, he would not go to Beijing again if nothing happened.
The Holy One is getting older, and the fight among the dozen or so princes of the right age is getting fierce.
The situation is unclear. If you stand in the wrong team at this time, all nine tribes will be in danger.
Therefore, talents who stand out at this time will be forced to take sides even if they don't want to.
The servant sent by the Hou Mansion to look at the list also came back to report, "I have met the lady and several distinguished guests! The list is out.
Both young masters have won, Mr. Yao is ranked ninth on the list, and Mr. Han is ranked 12th!"
"marvelous!"
"Very good."
Yao Qiyuan calmly took a sip of tea. As expected, there was another better answer, but he chose a slightly inferior answer.
He glanced at the girl who was happy for him at the moment, and felt that everything was worth it.
Officials, high and low, are all redressing the grievances of the people.
Living a life like daddy is quite meaningful...
There is a huge gap between the original poverty-stricken and backward appearance of Ding County.
The streets are clean, the houses are new, the economy is improving, and the farmland is planned.
Life is getting better, people have relaxed smiles on their faces, and they dare to report to the county government when they encounter violations of laws and disciplines.
With constraints, there are also fears. When the cost of committing a crime is too high, criminals will also start to weigh the pros and cons.
