Why marry someone when you are reborn?

However, no matter what the reason was, Zeng Wuji supported Xu Yun to take the imperial examination.

Anyway, there are only two people missing now.

Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu went around asking again, and within three days, they actually found two people who were willing to be guarantors for Xu Yun.

Xu Yun originally thought that this was an extremely difficult task, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy in the end.

Zeng Wuji made the arrangements and booked a banquet. The five of them planned to get together, and after signing a guarantee, they could prepare for the registration.

When Xu Yun returned home in the evening, he couldn't help but share the good news with Xie Wanqing.

Xie Wanqing was also very surprised after hearing this: "Really? That's great!"

She looked relieved and even smiled, "I'll ask Hongyu to buy some meat later. We'll celebrate tonight!"

Hongyu came up and said to Xu Yun with a smile: "Young lady, you don't know that our eldest lady has been to many places in the past two days! She has visited all the noble families related to the Xie family!"

There were many contacts between the noble families, and it was even more common for them to be related by marriage.

Therefore, the relationship between them has always been close. They may not prosper together or suffer together, but they will help each other.

Xie Wanqing was from the Xie family of Chen County. With this, she could enter and leave many aristocratic families. Wherever she went, she would be looked up to.

Similarly, if Xie Wanqing uses this identity to ask others for help, she will most likely get help.

After hearing Hongyu's words, Xu Yun was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xie Wanqing and felt very uncomfortable.

Xie Wanqing never used her status to seek help because of Xu Sanlang's mistreatment.

I never used this identity to help Xu Sanlang.

For Xie Wanqing, this meant letting go of all her pride.

Before Xu Yun could say anything, Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "It was because of your mother's inflexibility that Yun had to suffer with you for so many years. Just to save her own pride, she had to endure so many hard days. It wasn't worth it. Now you've figured it out."

Xie Wanqing's expression was very natural.

He didn't look uncomfortable at all.

But Xu Yun knew that asking for help from others was never comfortable.

You always have to be humble and put on a smile.

Moreover, the Xie family had moved south long ago, and those who stayed here to support the Hua Dynasty had almost the least connection with the gentry in the south.

One can imagine the treatment that Xie received when he visited her.

And judging from this, Xie Wanqing's running for two days really didn't help at all.

This made Xu Yun feel even more sorry for Xie Wanqing.

In the end, Xu Yun didn't say anything. She just smiled and took Xie Wanqing's arm, saying coquettishly, "Thank you, mother."

Xie Wanqing laughed and pinched Xu Yun's fair face: "You're already a grown-up girl, but you still like to act like a spoiled brat?"

Xu Yun didn't care and just stayed close to Xie Wanqing, rubbing against her.

Hongyu happily went out to buy meat, preparing to celebrate in the evening.

As soon as she went out, she met Luo Zhan who was riding home on horseback.

Luo Zhan knew Hongyu. When he saw Hongyu bowing, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so happy? What's the good news?"

Hongyu said with a smile: "It is a great happy event. Our young lady has found a student to be her patron saint!"

Luo Zhan was a little surprised: "She wants to take part in the imperial examination?"

Hongyu responded, but was worried that the meat would be gone soon, so she quickly apologized and ran away.

Luo Zhan dismounted and handed the horse to the gatekeeper Zhang Ding who came out to greet him. He then went back to look for Aunt Deng thoughtfully.

Luo Zhan was a filial son. He left early every day and generally did not disturb Aunt Deng's sleep. But no matter when he came back, unless it was very late, he would definitely visit Aunt Deng first.

Auntie Deng was chopping wood herself. When she saw Luo Zhan, she wiped the sweat off her head with a towel and handed the axe to someone else: "Erlang is back? What do you want to eat tonight?"

Luo Zhan first chatted with Aunt Deng about family matters before asking about the things next door: "I heard that Xu Yun is going to take the imperial examination?"

Aunt Deng nodded and said, "Yes, now she is looking for someone to recommend her. Aunt Xie went to many families, but unfortunately they were unwilling to help. Aunt Xie was so anxious that she couldn't even eat."

This was within Luo Zhan's expectations: these people would never help. There were quarrels every day in the court over the issue of women taking the imperial examinations. But the two emperors were determined and refused to waver. Now the two sides were competing with each other.

If anyone helps Xu Yun at this time, wouldn't that be clearly against all the gentry?

Just as Hongyu said just now, she found someone to act as a guarantor... Luo Zhan was not very optimistic either.

It is now the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and the imperial examination begins in the beginning of February. I wonder what earth-shaking changes will take place in these two months.

So Luo Zhan sneered: "Why bother with that effort?"

If you want to be an official, you might as well ask him for help. If that doesn't work, asking Gao Yu for help would be helpful.

Aunt Deng slapped Luo Zhan in the face: "What kind of attitude is this! Ah Yun is well-educated and a good person, much better than you! You have learned from your father for so many years, and now it's hard for you to even write a letter!"

Luo Zhan stopped laughing and tried to justify himself: "I didn't want to learn it at that time. I like to learn martial arts."

Auntie Deng slapped him again: "Behave yourself! Ah Yun has suffered enough! Be polite to me!"

Luo Zhan was puzzled. Seeing that Aunt Deng was going to hit him for the third time without him answering, he quickly dodged to the side: "If you don't know, you would think Xu Yun is your daughter! Why do you like her so much! "

It would have been fine if you wanted her to be your daughter-in-law before, but now that you know she can’t be your daughter-in-law, why are you still protecting her so much!

What a hell!

Aunt Deng was both angry and amused: "Ah Yun is such a lovely child! Look, she just came to Beiping City and she immediately went to find a job. Why? Isn't it to support a large family? She was afraid that her mother would be burdened, so she bought two children for her!"

Luo Zhan felt wronged: Didn't I buy someone for you? Didn't I work so hard to support my family?

But he felt that it was useless to say this, so he just left in a huff.

The next day, Xu Yun got himself ready early and went to the restaurant to wait.

I just wanted to leave a good impression on the other two students.

Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji also arrived quite early. When they saw Xu Yun, they smiled knowingly and understood each other's thoughts.

The three of them chatted for a while. At the beginning, they were all in a good mood and everyone was full of expectations.

But after they called for more water for boiling tea twice and no one came, the mood of the three of them slowly began to drop.

There is also a guess that is vaguely forming in my mind.

However, none of the three brought it up, as they all still held on to a glimmer of hope.

When the agreed time was almost up, someone finally arrived.

When Zhao Mu saw that familiar face, he almost immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop smiling. He stood up and went to greet him: "Finally you're here!"
