Chapter 1356 Going up the mountain to hunt wild geese
The date for the marriage proposal was set, but Yun Luochuan did not tell Shen Wan, because if he didn't tell it, he would only be surprised when he came to propose the marriage.
On August 28, Yun Luochuan invited Ji Min and Ling Yunzhi to go hunting in the mountains.
The three of them rode up the mountain, followed by seven or eight servants on horseback carrying bows and arrows.
The three scholars all put on their horse-riding attire and suddenly became energetic, heroic and majestic.
When I left the city just now, I didn't know how many of my daughter's families' hearts I captured.
Although Ling Yunzhi has a humble reputation, he also learned the Six Arts of the Gentleman when he was studying in the academy. Although he is not good at it, he can still ride a horse and shoot arrows.
Ji Min followed Yun Luochuan into the forest, tilted his head to avoid a branch blocking the road, and said with a smile: "The other scholars are attending the cultural gathering and tea banquet hosted by the great scholars at the moment!
But you took the two of us here for autumn hunting."
Ling Yunzhi just smiled when he heard this and said nothing.
This time in Qiu Wei, he also passed the examination, but he was far behind Brother Yun. Brother Yun was Jieyuan, and he was ranked twenty-first, a full twenty places behind Brother Yun.
But I am already very satisfied. With this result, it is not a problem to get a Jinshi in the spring examination.
“What’s the point of attending those cultural gatherings and tea banquets?
Autumn is really the time for hunting, so you should go hunting.”
Yun Luochuan looked back at Ling Yunzhi, "Besides, Brother Ling has been studying the books for so long before the exam and sat in the Gongyuan for nine days. It's best to go out and do some activities."
Moreover, the literary gatherings and tea-tasting banquets held by those great scholars were all because someone in their family was an official in the court, and they were trying to win over these candidates who had the opportunity to become officials in advance. It was not simple at all.
Ling Yunzhi said: "Brother Yun is right."
He has been feeling sore and backache lately, and his mother always asks him to go out for a walk and do some exercise.
"By the way, Brother Yun, when do you plan to go to the Imperial City?"
Although the spring exam is next spring, it is just after the New Year. Therefore, candidates usually go to the Imperial City before the year to study and prepare for the exam. If they go late, they will not even have a place to live. .
He wanted to ask clearly when Brother Yun was going so that he could be prepared and go to the imperial city with Brother Yun.
"I won't take part in the spring exam."
Hearing this, Ling Yunzhi and Ji Min looked at each other and asked in unison: "Why?"
With his talent, if he takes part in the spring examination, even if he doesn't win the top prize, he can still win the top prize.
If he doesn't take the spring exam next year, he will have to wait until three years later, and he will be in his thirties by then.
"Because I want to get a wife!"
Yun Luochuan said with a smile.
It was the first time they heard this reason for not participating in the spring exam because they wanted to marry a wife.
Ji Min said: "You took part in the spring examination, and it won't delay your marriage!"
Everyone in Jiangzhou City is wondering whether the eldest young master of the Yun family is going to win the first prize and marry a noble girl from the imperial city! Who would have thought that he would not take part in the spring examination in order to find a wife?
"In fact, marrying a wife is just one reason. Another reason is that I have no intention of becoming an official. I am just taking the exam to give an explanation to my family and prove to the world that I, Yun Luochuan, am not an incompetent loser."
After hearing Yun Luochuan's explanation, both Ji Min and Ling Yunzhi felt very sorry.
With Brother Yun's talent, size, and intelligence, if he becomes an official, he will definitely become a pillar.
"So who are you going to marry?"
Ling Yunzhi asked curiously.
"You will know in a few days."
Yun Luochuan failed.
Suddenly there was a cry of wild geese in the sky. Yun Luochuan immediately drew his arrow and aimed at the wings of the wild geese.
"Whoosh."
Sharp arrows flew out.
The wild geese let out a scream, broke away from the team and fell from the sky.
Yunluochuan did not stop, another arrow was fired, and a wild goose broke away from the team and fell from the sky.
Ji Min and Ling Yunzhi saw him shooting wild geese with arrow after arrow, and they finally understood that this man who invited them to hunt in autumn was actually here to hunt wild geese for themselves.
Being able to hunt wild geese in person shows that Brother Yun is marrying a woman that he really likes.
