I married my next cousin after being a scumbag

"Yes, yes, if it wasn't for Ran Xi's good eyesight, how could I have married Ran Xi?" Tang Shi'an finally rounded up his words. If he really pissed people off, it wouldn't be so easy to coax.

Bai Ranxi nodded, it was the first time that such a childish act was done in front of Tang Shi'an, probably because she was pregnant with a child and her heart became smaller.

There are three exams at the beginning of March, the first exam in the ninth day of junior high school.Before that, Tang Shi'an asked people in various teahouses to inquire, and it didn't take long to find Wen Juan.Wen Juan also got up during the first month, but he arrived much earlier than Tang Shi'an, and stayed in the capital at the end of the month.

Seeing Tang Shi'an, Wen Juan was in the mood to complain, "Brother Tang, you don't know how expensive the inns in the capital are. Before, my mother asked me to bring more money and I felt it was a burden. Fortunately, my mother forced me to bring it, otherwise Now I’m afraid I can’t even afford to live in an inn.”

"The place where every inch of land and every inch of gold is in the capital is naturally incomparable to other places. If you don't have enough money, just tell me, this brother will definitely help you." Tang Shian's mood gradually improved because of Bai Ranxi's health. back to normal.

"At such a time, I will naturally not be polite. Brother Tang is here, is my sister-in-law okay?" Remembering that Bai Ranxi was pregnant, he greeted her.

"Well, not bad." After Tang Shi'an nodded, he asked something, "Brother Wen has been in the capital for so long, but have you heard any news from the capital?"

"News? Brother Tang, which side is he referring to? If it's news from some adults in the court, I've heard some news." Those who come to the capital to participate in the test will not be discredited by the court affairs, and more need to understand the current situation , After becoming an official myself, I don’t know everything.

"Then brother Wen, tell me what news you have?" Tang Shi'an is not easy to catch people and ask these things, it's better to inquire slowly.And he should understand the current situation, at least he should know the situation of his father-in-law and uncle.

Wen Juan told Tang Shi'an all kinds of news, and mentioned that the current Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was named Bai, and most likely he was Bai Ranxi's father.

"Do you know a thing or two about Bai Junyuan's family?" With the previous foreshadowing, it is not too abrupt to bring up Bai Junyuan's matter.After all, Bai Junyuan and Tang Shi'an had a friendship, and Wen Juan was also an insider.

"Brother Bai's father is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and his uncle is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, which is what I mentioned just now. I haven't heard of some of them. Brother Bai returned to the capital after finishing the provincial examination, and he has no chance to go back to the capital." Meet."

"We will always see you. This time, it is said that the students in the Jiangnan area have produced several talented people. It is more prudent to rank among the best." The reason why Tang Shi'an said this is because the Bai family has already produced a number one scholar.

The scum that Bai Ranxi married before also won the first prize, and has some relationship with the Bai family. Even if Bai Junyuan can win the first prize in the palace test this time, the current emperor has to think about it. He can't let the Bai family take over everything. So unless only Bai Junyuan's article could be read, it would be difficult for Bai Junyuan to be the champion.

In addition, the imperial examinations are meant to give chances to the poor students. The previous champions were more or less connected with the powerful. The selection of the champion this time is basically to choose one from the disadvantaged families to appease these disadvantaged students.

Now he is hiding the matter of marrying Bai Ranxi. If the emperor chooses him blindly, then when the matter of Bai Ranxi is exposed, the Bai family will definitely be suppressed by the emperor.It is not a good thing for a family to show off all the limelight. Those in power like to play checks and balances, and he can only feel at ease when they check each other.

So he is naturally unable to be the number one scholar, but the more difficult thing is that if he hides his clumsiness, he will be easily pushed off the horse among those with a strong shot. After all, at his level, he didn't dare to swear that he would be the number one scholar.

"What Brother Tang said is that he has been in the capital for more than half a month, and he has exchanged ideas with the students who came to take the scientific examination. There are really a lot of good people." Compared with the talents from all over the country, the government is naturally more powerful.

But they don't need to underestimate themselves, the Jie Yuan of a state capital will not be much worse than others, at most, the Jiangnan area is a bit tricky, but they are not afraid.Wen Wu is the first, whether it is good or not has something to do with the teacher who grades the papers, and the final palace test is still hand-picked by the emperor, which is also related to luck.

For Tang Shi'an, the current situation is a dilemma, and there is no solution, it just needs to damage his reputation.If the story about Zhang Ran in He'an Prefecture and his confrontation was spread among the students, then even if he was the victim at that time, it would be a deduction.

The number one scholar is naturally excellent in character and learning. It is inevitable that he will be excluded if he does not meet this condition, but he must grasp the speed of communication.But this matter has to wait until after the test, if he is among the best, no one will be willing to spread the news.Otherwise, if he left Lincheng, who would know his name as Tang Shi'an.

Even if he wanted to spread his stigma, someone had to be willing to listen.And after the test, his fame will be gained, not only among the students, but also among some officials will pay attention to this, and the effect will be the best at that time.

The general examination is presided over by the Ministry of Rites. The content of the examination emphasizes classics and righteousness, and the venue is not far from the examination shed of the rural examination, but it is more reliable than the rural examination. At the feet of the emperor, these things still dare not be perfunctory.

After meeting with Wen Juan, Tang Shi'an was often asked to go out. Now that Bai Ranxi was able to get out of bed and walk around on his own, he felt much more at ease.

And like today when Tang Shian was sitting in the teahouse, there was a gaze staring at him all the time behind him. The angle of view should be a private room upstairs. Tang Shian didn't know who this person was, but he should know him, not Bai Junyuan. boy.

In the private room on the third floor.

"This is the husband-in-law you chose for your cousin in your letter?" Bai Ranxing drank tea, not looking at Tang Shi'an through the gap in the window.

"Yeah, but he's already married." Bai Junyuan was a little frustrated. The brother-in-law he fell in love with for the first time turned out to belong to someone else.

"Since we're married, then don't make any plans for him. If he's really willing to abandon his wife and marry his cousin, it might not be a good thing." Bai Ranxing seemed to think of something when he was talking, and then he sneered, His eyes turned cold.

"I know, he rejected me too." Bai Junyuan frowned, after all, he still didn't tell Wen Juan who was recommended by Tang Shi'an. Wen Juan hasn't passed his probation period yet, so it won't be too late after the trial.

"Really? It doesn't look like you are a sneaky person." Bai Ranxing commented, "If there is no accident in this scientific examination, the emperor will not appoint you as the number one scholar. This Tang Shi'an is from a poor family and It's Jie Yuan from Lincheng, it's very likely that it will fall on him, you can make friends with him more, you can't always be alone in the officialdom like this."

Bai Junyuan didn't say a word. Since he came back, he was told that he couldn't win the first prize. He was not convinced, but there was nothing he could do. The imperial examination seemed fair, but it was actually the biggest unfairness.

The education he received since he was a child is much higher than that of most people. He has no right to break this kind of check and balance, so he can only let it go.

How come Bai Ranxing doesn't know what his cousin is thinking, but there is nothing to do about this kind of thing. The current emperor loves talent, but even if he likes it, he can't ignore other people in the court.

After being silent for a while, Bai Junyuan finally compromised, and sent a servant to invite Tang Shi'an. Bai Ranxing came with him today, just to see if he could win over someone who had a chance to win the new champion.

Ever since his second cousin disappeared and Bai Ranxing returned to the capital, he has been very gloomy. He also secretly investigated the second cousin's ex-husband. There were many people who impeached my uncle, but they were all suppressed by the emperor.

When Tang Shi'an was invited to the private room, he could confirm at a glance that the stranger in the private room was Bai Ranxing. In addition to the influence of Bai Junyuan, there was also this appearance. Bai Ranxi and his brother's appearance were [-]% similar. Did you send me a pillow when you dozed off?

"Brother Bai, long time no see." Counting the time, we met once after the provincial examination, that is, on the day when the results were released, and we haven't seen each other since.

"Yeah." Bai Junyuan nodded absent-mindedly, but he still didn't forget to introduce his cousin, "My cousin, Bai Ranxing, whose name is Songzhi."

Looking at Bai Junyuan's appearance, he knew that it was Bai Ranxing who came to look for him today, but he and Bai Ranxing didn't know each other, so it was impossible to come to see him just to see if he was worthy of Bai Junyuan's friendship.

"Brother Song, Tang Yue, the name is Shi'an." Tang Shi'an climbed up the pole, and Mr. Bai was far from taking the character, so he called him Brother Bai, but both of them have the surname Bai, so they can't both be called Brother Bai.

"How old is Shi'an when I'm an idiot, I should be called Shi'an." Bai Ranxing was not polite, "I've been hearing Junyuan mentioning you in letters, and originally said that he wanted to recruit you as his brother-in-law, but it's a pity Shi'an is already married. When I saw him today, Jun Yuan's eyesight is not bad. If I have unmarried younger brothers and sisters, I hope that someone like Shi'an can entrust them to me."

Tang Shi'an coughed lightly. Although he knew it was a scene, your brother is indeed married to me, and your wish has been fulfilled. I hope you will be really happy to know that day will be like what you said today.

"I don't dare to do it. Brother Bai is too famous. I'm just a peasant with several years of knowledge, and I'm not suitable for a young lady in your mansion." Tang Shi'an was a little bit against his will when he spoke, but he had to say it.

"Shi'an don't need to be too modest, the test will be held soon, I don't know how Shi'an is going to do." Bai Ranxing nodded and asked about the scientific examination. Naturally, there were many people who came to participate in the test. Only about [-] people were admitted, and if they had a good reputation in this general examination, the problems in the palace examination would naturally not be too big.

"It's okay." It's not easy to answer this question, and Tang Shi'an didn't think about it. It's not good after thinking about it for a long time. An ambiguous answer is most suitable for responding to today's uncle.

"Really?" Bai Ranxing smiled, "It seems that Shi An has prepared well, but if you have any questions about learning, you can come to the White Mansion to find me, and you can discuss it with Shi An."

"Then thank Brother Song first." This is trying to win him over, whether it is Bai Ranxing or his father, this knowledge must be much better than him, and asking him to come to the door is to make him a little trouble.

But why did the Bai family want to win people over? From Ran Xi's words, it was revealed that this Bai family can be regarded as a family that has been rooted in the capital for a long time.

The power in it will certainly not be small. Compared with those families with no foundation, the Bai family should not be easily shaken.

Just like the Qiufu that Wen Mu relies on, the foundation is too shallow, even if someone behind him encounters something, they will only use it as a scapegoat.So is there any need for him, a little examinee, to help.
