Farming in another world to make a fortune

He Yunqi froze when he heard the words, people who were far away only saw that he didn't answer the words for a while.

Yu Zhou and Tao Jiang were right next to him, and he could clearly see a small twitch at the corner of his mouth. Yu Zhou was fine. If He Yunqi hadn't reacted to this kind of thing, he would stand up and refute it as a friend. not suitable.

Tao Jiang is different, he has been close to He Yunqi since he was a child, and he clearly knows why this person said that about his cousin, and the rankings in the government examination will be announced soon, with so many scholars watching, how could he allow others to insult him so much? Cousin's reputation.

As a result, when the folding fan was closed, his expression instantly became indifferent, and his voice seemed to be mixed with ice slag, "My family has been studying for generations. All are known for being clean and honest. Due to his health, my cousin only took the imperial examination for the first time this year. Although he won the first case in the county, he is still far away from being an official. But you say that he is greedy for wealth and honor, and he doesn't know how to be greedy. What kind of wealth is it, or is it possible to be greedy for your family's wealth?"

The two people who came to pick things up, apart from being fat and thin, they also dressed very differently. If the fat man was dressed so that others would not see that his family was rich, the skinny man was the opposite. His long gowns were all washed. It must be a little whitish.

So as soon as Tao Jiang said that he was greedy for his family's wealth, many people around him laughed.

The thin man also seemed to have been poked into his weakness, his hands hanging by his sides were instantly clenched into fists, and his face became gloomy.

But this demeanor was only for a moment, he quickly changed his expression, and said with a sneer: "Do you think that telling me about your family background and belittling me can cover up the fact that he is greedy for wealth? "

Tao Jiang wanted to say something more, but He Yunqi, who had come to his senses, gave him a wink. Based on the tacit understanding between Yu Zhou and the others, he knew that this was a hint that there was no need to help.

Then He Yunqi turned around and looked at the skinny man seriously, still the most common one, with a gentlemanly appearance, "Since this brother said that I am greedy for wealth, please show evidence."

"Isn't your husband the proof?" The thin man raised his chin and said, "If you claim to be a scholarly family and don't covet wealth, why did you marry the brother of the Zhou family?"

Yu Zhou had already guessed that it was probably related to this matter, and felt speechless, and even wanted to laugh, but he didn't expect this person to say that directly in front of everyone.

But apparently there are not many people who think it's okay like him. After hearing this, a scholar next to him asked in a low voice, "But...the Zhou family?"

After getting the affirmative nod of the skinny man, many people looked at He Yunqi with different eyes. After all, in today's society, the status of brothers is lower than that of women. With the family background of the He family, they want to marry a woman who is well-matched. It was not difficult, but He Yunqi chose to marry a brother, and in their entire prefecture, he was from the Zhou family who was famous for their money.

This had to make people think otherwise.

He Yunqi's face did not change at all, and he even smiled slightly, "Then dare to ask brother, as me, if I am not as greedy as you say, what kind of brother or woman should I marry?"

The skinny man didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was a little stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a sincere expression: "Normal people should choose women from the right family."

"Is that so?" He Yunqi lowered his eyes slightly, "But my husband and I have been in the same academy since we were enlightened. We have known each other since we were young, and my admiration for him began since then, but because of his family's business, And if my family becomes an official, I have to hide my love and choose other well-matched women to marry?"

After a pause, he whispered again as if asking himself: "Let's not talk about me and him, is this fair to another woman?"

The scholars of Dayan Kingdom are romantic, scholars don't say whether they can only marry the person they love, but most of them agree with others in their hearts.

Therefore, after hearing He Yunqi's words, the people around all showed expressions of understanding, and said one after another: "So it's a childhood sweetheart."

Yu Zhou checked his face and answered in a timely manner: "Of course it's not fair. If I had a sister, I would definitely not want her to marry someone who admires others."

There are those who have a better family background and can be called the right match with He Yunqi's family. After hearing Yu Zhou's words, they unconsciously began to think that if the sisters in their own family would find such a husband.

As soon as they imagined it, they felt that the fire was on their heads.

Therefore, he became even more convinced that He Yunqi's choice was correct, and there was even someone who was so straightforward that he couldn't help but blurted out: "Scholars of my generation, if they can give up the person they admire because of their status, they will wait until they get fame or do it. Officer, who knows if he will give up others because of his status."

Yu Zhougeng congratulated Yunqi for such a harmony, which has brought the situation back.

But being provoked like this, He Yunqi didn't intend to bring the situation back and let it go. He looked at the skinny man in puzzlement, and asked what the person next to him hadn't said just now, "Brother only talked about identity, but not about feelings. He is really puzzled, based on your theory, after you get your fame, the wife you married in the bad times will definitely not be able to match up with you at that time, do you want to stop your wife and marry another?"

Although the behavior of stopping wives and remarrying after becoming prosperous is not explicitly prohibited in Dayan Kingdom, it is despised by everyone. If you are an official, you may even lose your black hat.

Therefore, when the thin man heard what He Yunqi said, he immediately became anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He Yunqi was not in a hurry, and said indifferently: "Since my brother himself feels shameful, why do you ask He to do it?"

The thin man didn't know that he was being entangled, and stared at He Yunqi for a while without saying a word.

He Yunqi also stood still, letting him just watch.

The fat man next to him seemed to have finally come to his senses at this moment, pulled the thin man's sleeve, and whispered: "What he said seems quite reasonable."

"I came with you, and you actually think what he said makes sense?" The thin man flicked his sleeves and walked towards the gate of the inn angrily.

The fat man didn't react for a while, and was still in place.

He Yunqi took a step forward and asked, "Master Wu, right?"

"You know me?" the fat man asked suspiciously.

"Of course I know," He Yunqi smiled, and said in a voice that only the people at their table could hear, "A-Ning mentioned you to me, and he said that even if he didn't marry me, he would never choose you."

"You!" The fat man glanced at He Yunqi, with anger and jealousy mixed in his eyes, and after a while, he also rushed to the door of the inn without looking back.

After everyone went out, He Yunqi cupped his hands at the surrounding scholars and said, "Let everyone watch the joke."

"No no."

"I heard that Mr. He is a gentleman like jade. Seeing him now, he really deserves his reputation."

The surrounding scholars replied one after another.

After a little greeting, He Yunqi went back to Yu Zhou's table and sat down.

At this time, the food was brought up, and after the waiter had prepared the food, Yu Zhou laughed and joked, "I didn't expect Yun Qi to say such sharp words to people one day."

"Who told him to covet Aning." He Yunqi spoke very casually in front of his friends and cousin.

However, both Yu Zhou and He Yunqi lowered their voices because they didn't want others to hear what they were talking about.

Tao Jiang was originally only focused on eating, but when he heard what his cousin said, he immediately stopped picking up the food, and looked at He Yunqi with an expression that said he was going to listen.

He Yunqi picked up a vegetable uncomfortably, and after eating it slowly, he said, "A Ning used to come to Fucheng several times a year with his father to deal with business matters. About three years ago, I talked with his father When doing business, I met this Mr. Wu just now, but this man sent a matchmaker to Aning's house to talk about marriage. Aning disagreed, so he invited people to go again and again until my marriage with Aning Let’s stop when it’s settled.”

Hearing this, Yu Zhou and Tao Jiang looked at each other, and then both laughed.

The two of them didn't get any benefits from He Yunqi's hands that day, and they never showed up again until the day when the government tried to release the rankings.

During this period, Yu Zhou and the others had free time, followed Mr. Wen and Tao Jiang, and met some new friends.

On the day when the rankings were released, everyone made an appointment to watch the rankings together.

The time to release the list was still Chen Shi, and Yu Zhou and his party arrived at the entrance of the Gongyuan early.

I don't know if the other party guarded it on purpose, or if the enemy's road is really narrow, Yu Zhou and the others got off the carriage when they saw two figures, one fat and one thin, standing not far away.

The Fucheng is so big. At that time, what Yu Zhou said about proving knowledge with the results of the government examination has already been spread among the scholars who took the examination, so when their carriage stopped, everyone around looked over.

The scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

The two men realized something, and looked over, but this time they didn't step up to provoke, they just waited for a joke to look at Yu Zhou, and then faced the entrance of the Tribute Court, waiting for the official to hand over the long case with the admission list. carry it out.

Yu Zhou didn't wait at a distance this time, but also squeezed in.

I don't know if everyone has the same desire to watch the excitement. Originally, they should want to squeeze the candidates as far as possible. When they saw Yu Zhou and the others, they gave way to both sides.

Moreover, only Yu Zhou and He Yunqi were allowed to go in, while Tao Jiang and Yu Wenliang were kept out.

There was less than a cup of tea before Chenshi, and the long case was brought out, followed by the same process as the county examination, the trumpeter fired the cannon, and the officials uncovered the red silk covering the long case.

Yu Zhou has good eyesight and is very far in front, so he saw He Yunqi's name at the far right just like in the county examination.

He was overjoyed, looked at He Yunqi next to him, and blurted out: "Congratulations Yunqi, you won the first class."

He Yunqi's speed was a little slower, his eyes still stayed on the long case, but unlike Yu Zhou, he saw all the rankings he wanted to see before replying: "Congratulations to brother Yu as well, the first rank is eighth."
