At a restaurant on the street in the capital, Liu Ruyan and her maid Xiu'er had been waiting early. Ever since she saw the name of the number one scholar, her heart had been beating hard.
Shen Yanqing, is he really the number one scholar?
So all her dreams are real?
Liu Ruyan blushed when she thought about marrying him as his wife in her dream.
"Madam, are you warm? I will give you a fan."
Xiu'er has been paying attention to her every move, watching Liu Ruyan gently fanning her face with a handkerchief, and asked in a low voice.
Liu Ruyan's movements were stagnant, and annoyance flashed in his eyes.
"No, stay away from me, don't block my view!"
Today the number one scholar is parading through the streets, and she wants to see Shen Yanqing immediately.
"Yes," Xiu'er didn't dare to refute, lowered her head and backed away.
The street was already full of people, and the people were waiting to watch the excitement.
Liu Wenxuan and another Tanhua passed by on horseback first. Because he didn't win the top prize, Liu Wenxuan's face was a bit smelly and he looked gloomy. However, Tanhua next to him was full of joy and looked for someone to see him.
"Why are there only two people? Are they number one or number two?"
"He is quite handsome, but he seems to have a bad temper."
A group of people pointed at Liu Wenxuan. He had a great reputation in the capital and was quickly recognized.
"This is Liu Wenxuan, the husband of Prime Minister Liu's family. The number one son in the capital, Liu Wenxuan, originally thought he would win the first prize. Unfortunately, he only won the second place. And the top pick is a nobody. Isn't he angry?"
This man's tone was a bit gloating. It was rare to see your noble master frustrated, so he had to say a few more words to satisfy his appetite.
"My knowledge is not as good as others, and I still shame myself in public. It turns out that the number one young master in the capital is so petty."
The sounds of disdain were endless, and Liu Wenxuan was so angry that his eyes turned red. He tightened the reins and kicked his legs hard, not wanting to listen to the ridicule anymore.
"drive!"
"Hey, Brother Liu, wait for me..."
Liu Wenxuan's horse galloped past. Tanhua looked obviously stunned for a moment and quickly chased after him.
"Why did you leave so quickly?"
"Tch, that's so stingy!"
Everyone dispersed after seeing the excitement, so when Shen Yanqing came over, the street was almost empty. He was not riding fast, so he pulled the reins in time when the woman rushed towards him.
"Uu."
Shen Yanqing looked at the woman in front of the horse and frowned.
"Please give way."
Liu Ruyan's heart was beating fast. She had rushed over to the person just now when she saw him, completely ignoring the horse. She was so frightened at this moment that the person couldn't calm down.
"Lady..."
Xiu'er ran after her, and she was frightened half to death. If something happened to Liu Ruyan, she would not survive.
"Shen Yanqing, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage!"
Liu Ruyan looked arrogant. She was like this in her dream. She fell in love with him at a glance when the number one scholar was walking down the street, and she got involved with him. She knew that Shen Yanqing would definitely marry her in the future.
Shen Yanqing looked confused. He didn't even know who this woman was, so how could he propose marriage.
"I already have a family, you have found the wrong person." After saying that, he walked away.
"How can you have a family? Your wife will only be me!"
Liu Ruyan said calmly, she felt that Shen Yanqing was lying. He had never married a wife in the dream, and what if he really married a wife?
Since she would not appear in the future, it meant that that woman was nothing to be afraid of, and how could a country woman compare to herself, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace? After thinking about it, she quickly rekindled her fighting spirit.
"Shen Yanqing, you will definitely marry me!"
Shen Yanqing couldn't help but speed up. This woman was probably a lunatic. How could he marry her if he didn't know her? Moreover, he only had Jiang Miao in his heart and could not tolerate any other woman.
Thinking of Jiang Miao, he felt even more urgent to go home.
…
"Oh, you are so clumsy, the flowers are stuck crookedly!"
Mrs. Zhang looked at Shen Erlang standing on the stool and sticking the wedding couplets crookedly, with a look of disgust on her face. If her old arms and legs weren't afraid of falling, she would have to do it herself.
"Miscellaneous, can't I see this? Please point to me more." Shen Erlang scratched his head and smiled flatteringly at Mrs. Zhang.
"Hmph, go a little further to the left..."
The Shen family has been looking forward to his return ever since they heard that Shen Yan was the top scholar in the Qing Dynasty. We cannot neglect this big happy event. The Shen family has been receiving guests in the past few days. Although it is a bad New Year, everyone comes to visit. Bringing meat and egg snacks will make you feel happy while making good friends.
Jiang Miao got up early in the morning, closing the door and making arrangements in the room. She looked at the few dresses on the bed, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Which outfit should I choose? None of them look good. I wish I could have made more new dresses."
Jiang Miao frowned, and finally chose a crimson chest-length undershirt. The bright red made her more delicate and charming. Jiang Miao had a pony bun and makeup on her face.
Her beautiful eyes, pink face, peach cheeks, and gorgeous red lips added a bit of charm to her young face. Jiang Miao blinked and was quite satisfied with her makeup skills. She had not done makeup for a long time and she was not good at it.
Jiang Miao opened the door and went out. Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened when she saw her.
"Oh, my God, has the old lady seen a fairy?"
"Mom, you know how to tease me."
Jiang Miao's cheeks were stained with red clouds, and her face was slightly covered with a handkerchief. Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and took her hand. The more she looked at her, the happier she became.
"Mom, why are you teasing me? Isn't this kind of beauty only for fairies in the sky?"
Anyway, in all her life, she has never seen such a beautiful little lady.
"I'm going to see if anyone can help in the kitchen."
Jiang Miao's face turned red when she continued talking, and she quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Well, you can just watch from the side. Don't get dirty on the stove if you dress so well today." Mrs. Zhang gave a few instructions. She knew that Jiang Miao's dress today was for Shen Yanqing to see.
"I know, mother."
In the kitchen, Shen Yingxue and a few helpers were busy working. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xu were helping to choose vegetables and light the fire. Various meat dishes were already prepared on the table, and you could smell the aroma as soon as you entered the door.
"Sister, sister-in-law, I'm here to help too."
"You're already the number one lady. There are so many people in the room, so there's no need for you." Mrs. Xu gave her an angry look, "Your second brother and the others have gone to pick up the third child, so you should hurry back to the house and wait for him to come back. "
"No, I'll choose the food for you." Jiang Miao couldn't avoid being teased wherever she went, so she could only deal with it shamelessly, and Xu and others could only let her go.
After working in the kitchen for a while, there was a sudden noise in the yard. Shen Dalang set off firecrackers. Amidst the crackling sound, Jiang Miao heard someone calling her.
