Why marry someone when you are reborn?

After Zhao Mu learned the news, he came to find Xu Yun immediately.

I came here running anyway.

He was panting and could barely speak clearly, but the excitement on his face did not fade at all: "That's great, that's great! Women can also participate in the imperial examinations!"

Xu Yun was deeply moved.

After pouring a glass of water for Zhao Mu and asking him to sit down and relax, Xu Yun spoke: "Thank you for coming all the way to tell me..."

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Wuji arrived.

Zeng Wuji didn't come running; he rode in a donkey cart.

Xu Yun also poured him a glass of water and moved a chair for him.

Zeng Wuji's face was also excited: "Ms. Xu, have you heard the latest news? About the imperial examination."

Xu Yun nodded: "Zhao Mu just told me."

Zeng Wuji's eyes sparkled: "Then do you want to participate?"

Zhao Mu also looked at Xu Yun with the same gaze.

Being looked at like this by the two men, Xu Yun felt that he would be sorry for them if he didn't nod.

Xu Yun told the truth: "Since there is this opportunity, I would naturally like to participate. But... I may not be able to find a guarantor."

During these days, Xu Yun also got to know many scholars through borrowing books.

But the friendship is very superficial.

Especially from this incident - only Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji were truly dating her.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to tell her the good news and sincerely hoped that she would participate.

Xu Yun's question caused Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu to fall silent.

Zeng Wuji said cautiously: "How about spending some money and giving it a try?"

But he himself had no confidence to say this. After all, this matter was really... unlikely. This was not something else. This matter concerned the future, who would risk their own future to accompany Xu Yun?

Zhao Mu scratched his head and said, "We still need three more people. Five people to guarantee, you, me, and three more."

Xu Yun looked at Zhao Mu with some surprise and surprise: "Are you willing to guarantee me?"

Zhao Mu scratched his head: "Why wouldn't I be reluctant? I know Miss Xu's character and am willing to be her guarantor."

Xu Yun sighed: "You know, nowadays, there is a lot of buzz about women being able to take the imperial examinations."

Zhao Mu nodded: "I know that."

Xu Yun said again: "Nowadays, there are more people who oppose it than those who support it."

Zhao Mu still nodded, his expression a little confused, obviously not understanding how this had anything to do with his guarantee for Xu Yun.

Xu Yun could only continue: "If you guarantee me, whether I pass the exam or not, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. The same goes for the person who guarantees me."

"Those who oppose you, whether they are in high positions, ordinary people, or candidates from the same year, will also exclude you."

"It's very likely that even if you pass the exam, you may not end up well in the end."

After Xu Yun finished speaking in one breath, Zhao Mu's confusion turned into enlightenment.

Zhao Mu nodded, indicating that he understood: "Prosperity for all? Suffering for all?"

Zeng Wuji couldn't stand it any longer, so he explained, "Not only that. If Xu Yun goes to take the exam, she will be obstructed, and those of us who are guaranteeing her will also be hindered. After all, if any one of the five has a problem, the others will also lose their qualifications to take the exam."

"Now that the Queen is here, she will not allow anyone to harm Xu Yun. Therefore, the best way to prevent Xu Yun from taking the imperial examination is to start with the other four people."

Zeng Wuji sighed: "Whether it's framing someone, or putting the blame on someone, or really digging into the matter - this is not something that can be done with just a flick of the wrist. This is about risking everything in my life to follow Xu Yun and walk a path that no one has ever walked before."

No one knows what the end of the road is.

Maybe it's a bright future.

Maybe it's the bones that are melted into dust.

Zeng Wuji sighed again.

Xu Yun nodded very rationally and added: "This impact is not limited to this time. It may be a lifetime."

The room was silent.

Only the sounds from the street outside could be heard.

There were also people arguing about this on the street. Perhaps they were very excited, so their voices were quite loud.

Someone shouted, "How can a woman be an official? When she is pregnant and giving birth, is she going to judge cases with a big belly? She will have to hold the baby in her arms when she goes to court in the future!"

Many voices echoed.

"Then how can Her Majesty the Queen do it? Besides, you are an official now, can't you hire two servants to take care of your children? I think you men are just afraid that we women will become officials, and then there will be no one to serve you!" The rebuttal voice came from a woman, and it was obvious that she had a very aggressive personality, and had no intention of backing down in front of everyone.

The three of them listened in silence for a long time.

In the end, it was obvious that these people couldn't come to any conclusion from the argument.

The man shouted, "Take the test, take the test! I want to see how women can compare to men! If you fail, it will be a disgrace!"

Then they dispersed.

The streets were also quiet.

Zhao Mu suddenly asked, "Xu Yun, why do you want to take the imperial examination?"

This question...Xu Yun smiled: "I just want to try it out. To see how far I can go in the future and whether I can get a job. Just like a man."

Zeng Wuji looked at Xu Yun deeply and said, "If you can become an official, you will definitely become a high-ranking official."

The last incident with the two emperors made Zeng Wu Ji admire Xu Yun to the core.

In his opinion, Xu Yun's insights were very sharp.

This is very useful in official circles.

Xu Yun was amused: "Then let me thank you for your good words first?"

Zhao Mu took a deep breath and stood up.

Xu Yun and Zeng Wuji looked over together and felt that Zhao Mu wanted to say something, and it was very important.

Then they heard Zhao Mu say, "Xu Yun, I am willing to be your guarantor."

Xu Yun was stunned.

Zeng Wuji was not surprised, and even smiled nonchalantly: "Have you thought it through?"

Zhao Mu nodded heavily.

Zeng Wuji smiled cheerfully: "Okay, now we are still short of two people! Let's go around and ask if there is anyone willing to join us."

He spoke very casually.

Zhao Mu and Xu Yun were both stunned.

After all, Zeng Wuji himself had just said so many disadvantages of being a guarantor for Xu Yun - but now, he had clearly been planning to be a guarantor for Xu Yun for a long time!

Zhao Mu quickly smiled and said, "Then I'll go ask later!"

Xu Yun felt that he was losing control.

want to cry.

I really want to cry.

She wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Zeng Wuji laughed a few times, put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky, saying proudly: "I, Zeng Wuji, may not be good at learning in this life, but I will do two great things in my life!"

Looking at Zeng Wuji like that, Xu Yun's tears quickly flowed back.

Zhao Mu wiped his face and was speechless: "Do you think you won't pass the exam anyway, so you don't care?"

Zeng Wuji blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Do you think I can pass the exam?"
