As early as when Wei Hanzhou became a young Xieyuan last year, he was a popular candidate to win the champion. After he entered the capital, looking at his temperament, looks and knowledge, it made people think that he might become the champion.

But now, the news that Wei Hanzhou became the champion has spread all at once in the capital.

Some officials in the family who had daughters to marry were immediately moved.

Wei Hanzhou is superior in terms of academic character and appearance. Although he was born in a poor family, he was not petty. If he didn't know, he thought it was the son of a family of noble families. Such a person must be able to go farther in officialdom.

Moreover, being born in a poor family also has the advantage of being born in a poor family.

Alone, without relying on it, it is not necessary to get closer to the Yue family in the future.

Everyone's wishful thinking is very delicate.

Just a few days later, when the emperor hosted a banquet for the new champion, second place, and Tanhua Lang, he would mention it to Wei Hanzhou.

In Huai'enhou's mansion, there was also some heartbeat.

Huai'enhou Mansion, study room.

"Daughter has seen his father." A clear and sweet voice rang.

I saw that girl was wearing a light blue shirt with a bright white lining and a month-old white sachet hanging on her body.

When walking, there is a slight fragrance of gardenia, fresh and elegant, refreshing.

"An An is here, get up quickly." Huai Enhou said with a smile.

Liu Yunan blessed his body slightly towards Huai Enhou, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, father."

"Sit." Huai Enhou motioned to her daughter to sit on the chair beside her.

Liu Yunan took small steps towards the red sandalwood chair beside him, and sat down slowly. The shape was like flowing clouds and flowing water, and there was no sound during the whole process. The Dielianhua Jinyu stepping on his head was only slightly moving.

Huai Enhou looked at his daughter with satisfaction.

His daughter is really his pride. He has been obedient and well-behaved since he was a child. What's more rare is that he is clever and has a small heart in his chest.

Their Huai'en Hou Mansion is now able to stabilize their position in the capital, and will not be suppressed. A large part of the reason is because of his daughter.

Although the daughter is not beautiful, not as good as his eldest daughter Mingyan who died young, but her temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Thinking of the eldest daughter who died young, there was a trace of sadness in Huai Enhou's eyes.

Although the eldest daughter became more and more vicious when she grew up, and she often wanted to kill a few concubine girls, she was his first daughter. She was cute and icy when she was a child, and he often hugged her.

As a result, the daughter fell off the cliff and was gnawed away by a wild beast.

She was always squeamish, and she didn't know how painful she was at that time.

Thinking of this, Huai Enhou felt a pain in his heart.

"Daddy, what's the matter?" Liu Yunan keenly noticed Huai Enhou's abnormality.

Huai Enhou came back to his senses, looked at the daughter in front of him, and said, "Hey, I just suddenly remembered your eldest sister. She has been away for almost two years."

Hearing this, Liu Yunan's eyes flashed an imperceptible light, and he lowered his eyes slightly. He picked up the veil embroidered with orchids in his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. He choked out, "Yes, whenever I think of it, my daughter's heart

It's all sad, big sister is such a nice person, that's it... hey. "

Seeing the second daughter's sadness, Huai Enhou thought of what the eldest daughter had done and said, "Hey, it's hard for you. She treated you like that, and you can still remember her kindness."

The reason why Huai Enhou said this was because after Liu Tangxi had left, it was revealed that she wanted to sell Liu Yunan. However, because she died, no one mentioned this matter anymore.

"What dad said, the daughter grew up with her sister, and the sisters are deeply in love. No matter how the sister treats the daughter, the daughter will not blame her. After all, we are both Daddy's daughters and family members. people."

Huai Enhou's longing for the eldest daughter was diminished by his obedient and sensible second daughter.

"By the way, what's the matter with you coming over to find Dad today?"

Hearing this, Liu Yunan picked up the kerchief again and wiped the corners of his eyes. When he raised his head, his eyes were still red.

"I wonder if Daddy has any messengers inquiring about the new champion?"

Upon hearing this, Huai Enhou immediately became energetic. Listening to what my daughter means is that it will involve the great affairs of the court again.

My daughter has always been very insightful about Chaotang, and she can often point out some problems sharply to prevent him from making mistakes. Moreover, the three princes have deep-rooted affection for their daughters, and they often reveal some news to their daughters.

"I've inquired about it. I heard that Wei Hanzhou, the champion of the new division, came from a poor family, and no one has been an official for several generations." Huai Enhou said.

Liu Yunan asked, "Daddy, what are your plans?"

Huai Enhou looked at his daughter, pondered the recent movement of the outside world, and said, "An An is talking about recruiting a son-in-law?"

Liu Yunan nodded and said, "Father is right."

Huai Enhou frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Although many people outside want to hire him as his son-in-law, but I heard that he has already married a wife. Now that he is married, why should we call him? His idea."

In Huai Enhou's eyes, his daughters are all gold and precious, and he doesn't look down on such a scholar from a poor background. What about the champion, the former champion is now attached to the prince and is a **** for the prince, and he has no great prospects.

The emperor was obviously dissatisfied with the prince. Wouldn't it be a fool to move up?

Nowadays, the new champion in the new discipline is still not sure what it is, it is better to wait for the emperor's attitude to be clearer, and then make a marriage to his daughter.

Moreover, if a daughter marries such a person, she would be wronged as the original partner, not to mention being a concubine or a regular wife.

Huai Enhou couldn't look down on Wei Hanzhou very much.

"Daddy doesn't know anything, but my daughter heard that his mother bought the lady from outside when his father was seriously ill. Some people say that the girl came from a brothel."

It was the first time Huai Enhou heard about such a thing, his eyes widened and his expression was unbelievable.

"There is such a thing? The dignified new scholar marries a brothel woman as his wife?"

"Isn't it? My daughter was shocked when she first heard about it." Liu Yunan said, "I heard that the champion of the new division is a wise man, I must have planned in my heart. He is now the champion, and his wife is a brothel. Woman, there are too many differences in identity. Let alone his clan, even if the emperor heard about his situation, he would agree to his divorce, and she would not even have the position of the original partner."

Huai Enhou gradually thought about it and clicked on it.

head. However, after thinking for a while, he still felt that Wei Hanzhou was not worthy of his daughter. Even if it is the original wife, he is no more than a small champion now, and the future is still unknown.

"It's just that, how he is, I haven't contacted him, I don't know if he is like the previous champion."

Liu Yunan smiled and said, "Father is worrying too much."

"Oh?" Knowing that his daughter had something to say, Huai Enhou showed some interest.

"As far as my daughter knows, the prince had personally contacted Wei Hanzhou before the palace exam. The two had spoken in the restaurant for a long time, and when they came out, the prince looked pretty. But I heard from the people around the prince that Wei Hanzhou hadn't promised the prince anything. "

"Where are the three princes?" Huai Enhou asked nervously.

Liu Yunan smiled slightly and said, "The third prince has also been in contact with the prince's side. The daughter hid behind the screen that day and heard his conversation with His Royal Highness."

Huai Enhou's eyes lit up and asked "How?"

"He is indeed a wise man. He speaks perfectly. He neither rejects the Three Princes nor explicitly supports the Three Princes. But what he says makes people feel like he is stubborn, and he doesn't feel that he is deliberately perfunctory or just about everything."

Huai Enhou's eyes lit up a bit.

Those who don't stand in line are always smarter than those who stand in line.

"It is said that he only started to read at the age of ten, and he became a scholar at the age of sixteen. After a few short years, he even won the Zhongjieyuan and the champion. Such a person could not be found in the entire Dali dynasty, or in all dynasties. What's even more rare is that he is not only talented and intelligent, he is also very vigorous in dealing with others, and at the same time sleek. It is true and rare. The third prince said that such a person, even if he cannot be a friend, must not be an enemy."

In the three years of the Dali Dynasty, a champion can be awarded, and these champions are indeed well-read, but in the future they may not be able to make Hou Baixiang. Therefore, the status of the champion is not enough to attract Huai Enhou's attention.

But after listening to his daughter's words, he gradually paid attention to it.

He originally thought that Wei Hanzhou was just an ordinary boy, but he never thought that this boy was not the same as the average boy. If it is true as the daughter said, it is indeed a good deal to win such a person.

He is nothing more than a concubine, let him depend, but he can exchange for a powerful minister with a promising future.

Thinking of Wei Hanzhou's appearance, Huai Enhou muttered, "If he is really so good, it won't be too wrong for your sister."

No matter how good Wei Hanzhou is, Huai Enhou never thought of marrying his second daughter. His second daughter will be a queen in the future.

"Indeed, although the champion man came from a poor family, he looks handsome and has extraordinary knowledge. It is enough to match his sisters." Liu Yunan said with a smile.

However, there was some disapproval in my heart.

Liu Yunan thinks differently from Huai Enhou.

At a glance, Wei Hanzhou knew that the future was boundless, and he would surely be able to make a big difference in the turbulent court in the future. And her two sisters... Oh, apart from their status, they really didn't deserve him.

However, it is enough for her two sisters to have this status.

She can use them to win courtiers for the three princes.

As far as she knows, among the officials who want to recruit Hanzhou as their son-in-law, the lower-level ones want to marry their prostitutes, and the higher ones, such as the Duke’s Mansion, mostly have prostitutes. And their Huai'enhou Mansion is considered to have a relatively high status in it.

By then, there will be three emperors

The son is here to help, which one to choose, presumably the smart man like the champion Lang knows what to do.

"Well, then your third sister."

Liu Yun'an smiled and said, "Well, the fourth sister has just been married, and she is cute and cute, so she should stay for a few more years. The third sister is smart and smart, and she matches the champion."

The father and daughter spoke for a while, and Liu Yunan came out.

Back in her courtyard, Qinghe, the maid beside Liu Yunan, couldn't help asking, "Girl, why didn't you mention to Hou Ye what Madam did to you?"

Liu Yunan took the evidence out of his sleeve and handed it to Qinghe, saying, "Father is thinking of the eldest sister again today, and there is so much sadness in his eyes. If it is mentioned at this time, he may not punish his mother. Father has already agreed. Promise the third sister to the new champion. The mother has always disliked the third sister. She will definitely be at odds because of the marriage dowry. When the father is annoyed by the mother, we will tell the father about the matter again, and we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Qing He took the evidence and said with a smile, "The girl is wise, it's the slave and the maidservant who worry too much."

The matter of Wei Hanzhou's wife is not a secret, not only Liu Yunan can find it out, but those who want to catch a son-in-law on the list also quickly find out.

It's a pity that Liu Yunan was afraid that Huai Enhou would find out where Liu Tangxi was going, causing the three princes to move a little bit from it.

Therefore, everyone can only find out that Wei Hanzhou's wife was bought from Renyazi by the Li family. They also found out that Liu Tangxi was a brothel woman, and no matter how many others were, they would not be able to find out.

The third prince did not investigate the matter of Wei Hanzhou's wife. Liu Yunan investigated the matter.

Therefore, Liu Yunan did not know that that person was her sister.

Two days later, a banquet was held in the palace.

Xinke Jinshi, high-ranking officials, nobles, and female families were all invited to the palace to participate in the banquet.

This custom has always existed in the Dali Dynasty, and this banquet will be held every year after the palace test. It was originally to celebrate the new jinshi leaping over the dragon gate, and to increase the relationship between the emperor, courtiers and the jinshi.

But gradually, the banquet changed.

Everyone likes to pick a son-in-law from the bottom of the list and choose a son-in-law from the new jinshi.

Later, the emperor simply complied with everyone's wishes, not only inviting officials, but also allowing them to bring female relatives to the palace to see each other.

Some lord’s houses look down upon Shinke Jinshi, believing that their future may not be good, and they didn’t care much in previous years. But this year, there was a young Wei Hanzhou who showed another talent, and everyone was not as calm as in previous years.

With a slightly fat body and a pair of chamfered triangular eyes, Youdi squinted his eyes and looked around, smiling and said, "This year, the Qing family has come a little bit more than in previous years."

The three princes glanced at Wei Hanzhou's direction and said, "Who will let the new champion of the new division appointed by the emperor be young and handsome, such as Zhilan Yushu, the ministers must all want to recruit the champion as son-in-law."

Hearing the mention of the three princes, Wei Hanzhou stood up.

Youdi glanced at Wei Hanzhou and nodded in satisfaction.

The prince was unwilling to be left behind, saying, "The emperor's vision is very good. That day, when Wei Qing entered the palace, you could see that his knowledge was good, so you asked him to answer."

Youdi thought, isn't it because he has good eyesight. In the hall that day, he saw Wei Hanzhou with outstanding looks at a glance and thought he was very powerful.

What the prince said today is true.

Right desire

Nodding, just listen to the three princes smiling and saying, "What does the prince do? Before the palace exam, the father has read all the articles of scholars and scholars. He knows Wei Qing's skills. How could it be because of Wei Qing, as the prince said? It was taken by appearance. The father clearly appreciates Wei Qing's knowledge, and he is the first to tell him to reply."

Hearing this, Youdi grimned and stared at the prince. He was almost led by the nose and left. After that, he turned his head and said to the third prince, "The third child is really saying that I really appreciate Wei Qing's talent."

Hearing this, the prince looked extremely ugly, and looked at the third prince displeasedly.

The three princes quickly stood up, first bowed to Emperor You, and then bowed to the prince again.

"Please forgive the prince, the younger brother was just afraid that everyone would misunderstand the father, so he kept silent and hurriedly refuted you."

The prince's face was dark blue, his eyes sharply looked at the third prince, as if he wanted to cut him a thousand times.

Emperor You turned his head to look at the prince's face, and suddenly felt unhappy, and said, "This is the prince's fault. The third child does not have to apologize. I think you are right."

The prince became even more angry, but as You Di was criticizing him, he had to stand up.

The third prince glanced at the prince and smiled and said, "Father, the son thinks that the prince is happy today. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he said something wrong. Please don't punish him."

Emperor You turned his head to look at the prince and looked at the anger on the prince’s face. Not only did he lose his anger, but he became even more angry. He said, "Huh, as a prince, I don’t pay attention to my words and deeds. I did something wrong. What happened, your brother apologized to you, but you still don’t know how to repent and hold a grudge. It’s too shameful!"

The prince shook a fist and quickly lowered his head to cover the emotion in his eyes.

The third prince said again, "Today is a happy event. Don't be angry with your father, presumably the prince didn't mean it."

The prince’s eyes flashed cold, and he was so angry, but he still said, "My son knows his mistake, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

"Okay, you can sit down." Youdi said impatiently.

Qunchen looked at the above things, with a shot in his heart.

The prince became more and more outrageous, and the third prince became more and more outstanding.

Throughout the whole process, Wei Hanzhou was caught between the prince and the third prince and said nothing.

After the prince was dealt with, the third prince looked at Wei Hanzhou, who was hanging his head and said nothing, and brought up the topic just now.

"Father, Wei Qing is so outstanding, I don't know how many ministers want him to be his son-in-law."

When mentioning this kind of thing, Youdi's face improved, looking at the champion he had chosen, and smilingly said, "Does Qing have an idea, what kind of lady do you want to marry?"

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou finally reacted and bowed to Emperor You, and said, "Thank you, the emperor and the ministers for your love. The ministers already have women, and there is no need to marry again."

"Huh? You actually have a lady?" Youdi looked dumbfounded.

He saw that the ministers wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, and thought he hadn't married a wife. Now that they have a wife, why do these people still look for him as their son-in-law? What are everyone thinking? Do you want to ruin a marriage?

The third prince smiled and explained, "The father did not know that Wei Qing's father had a serious illness two years ago. His mother heard a liar and spent twenty taels of silver to marry him a woman in a brothel."

"Girl in the brothel?" Youdi showed an unhappy expression on his face.

"Isn't it?" As he said, the third prince looked at Wei Han

Zhou, "This lady was married by Wei Qing's mother. Wei Qing must be a filial person, so she just said that she didn't want to marry another wife, but a woman with this status really wronged Wei Qing."

The third prince thought, with Wei Hanzhou's cleverness and reason, he would definitely not let this kind of woman be his wife, but he had just passed the exam and immediately dropped his wife for fear that it would make some Qingliu dissatisfied. For example, the former champion champion encountered such a situation, and now the family is still in chaos.

He told him what Wei Hanzhou was not easy to say, and gave him a step down. By then, Wei Hanzhou would not be in the same embarrassing situation as the previous champion, and he would be grateful afterwards.

The courtiers sitting below who wanted to recruit Han Zhou as his son-in-law also agreed with the words of the third prince.

However, things were beyond their expectation. Wei Hanzhou did not follow the words of the three princes. Instead, he said, "Although the lady of the Weichen was indeed bought from Renyazi by his mother, she was not born in a brothel. She was originally from a brothel. The girl from the good family was sold by someone because of bad luck."

Liu Yunan was sitting down and drew the fruit wine in front of him. Hearing this, his heart suddenly thumped. For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"The lady is good at embroidering and subsidizes the family for the Weichen to study. Moreover, the Weichen goes to school all the year round, not at home. The lady does the laundry and cooks at home to take care of his parents. The credit is really great. Thank you, the emperor, the third prince and the ministers for your kindness. But, the minister. I never planned to divorce my wife."

The prince was still angry just now, and when he heard this, he let out a laugh.

"Third brother, the champion man does not want to divorce his wife, so don't think of ways to destroy the relationship between the husband and wife and ruin the marriage relationship."

The third prince frowned and glanced at Wei Hanzhou, feeling a little unhappy for his rebuttal just now.

The displeased was more than the three princes alone, and the courtiers sitting below couldn't help but speak.

For example, Huai Enhou.

"Although this woman respects her in-laws and takes care of her family, she bought it from Ren Yazi after all. How can this status be worthy of the champion?"

"The Lord Hou is right. Marry a good man when you marry a wife. But because the lady is beautiful, he is reluctant to do so?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed. Someone said, "Isn't it? I think the lady must be beautiful, but the status of this bought woman is too low, and she is praised as a concubine. If she is a wife, it will inevitably be too After a while."

Emperor You nodded, agreeing with the ministers' words, turned his head to look at Wei Hanzhou standing below, and said, "I think you are very reasonable. How can this woman be worthy of your regular wife? It's good to give up. If you really don't want to, then let her be your concubine."

Wei Hanzhou clenched his fists, his face turned blue.

Thinking of what Liu Tangxi had said when he came, he closed his eyes.

The big man does something and doesn't do something.

Wei Hanzhou knelt on the ground with only a puff.

"Thank you the emperor for being sympathetic to the ministers, but the lady is not wrong, and she has a great kindness to the ministers, so the ministers can't do anything to divorce their wives."

Rebutted by Wei Hanzhou, Youdi didn't look pretty. He hates being refuted by others in his life. Originally thought Wei Hanzhou had nine points pleasing to the eye, now there are only three points left. I immediately wanted to reprimand him.

At this time, an old man sitting on the side stood up.

"The old minister is very

Appreciate the character of the champion. Although the woman wasn't the champion man who took the initiative to marry home, but after all, it was the meaning of the parents in the family. As the so-called parents’ order, the matchmaker’s words. If the champion scholar agrees to the emperor to divorce his wife at this moment, it is unfilial. The woman made money for the scholar scholar to study and served her in-laws at home. The scholar now abandoned her during the exam, which is unjust. Does the emperor want a courtier who is unfilial and unrighteous? "

This old man is not bystander, but the teacher of Youdi, the prime minister of the three dynasties, Zheng Xiang.

When You Di was said by him, the expression on his face was slanderous. Since becoming the emperor, he has always been as he pleases, and is no longer constrained by others. If there is anyone he has scruples about, it is his mentor Zheng Xiang.

As Xu grew older, Zheng Xiang liked to raise flowers and birds every day, but he rarely came to court to refute him.

However, Youdi was thankful that the reprimands he had just reprimanded had not been said yet.

After saying this, Zheng Xiang looked at the courtiers again and said, "If the champion man divorces his wife at this time, how is this different from those who abandon their wives when they see the Yue family's failure? You really want it. Is this a son-in-law like this? Also, speaking of the woman's appearance... the number one champion is so handsome, you can't find any kind of girl. If you really only want to look at each other's beauty, why bother to stick to this person."

Zheng Xiang said like this, those who didn't fight Wei Hanzhou's mind, or who hadn't spoken just now, nodded one after another.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou not knowing how to promote, Huai Enhou snorted coldly.

Sitting at the back, Liu Yunling glanced at Liu Yunyi, who was sitting next to her, and whispered, "Sister Sister, it's a pity, people would rather ask the girl in the brothel to look down on you, you are not as good as a brothel girl."

Although Wei Hanzhou explained that his wife was not from a brothel, Liu Yunling deliberately compared it like this.

Liu Yunyi's face flushed with anger, her eyes full of irritation, and angrily scolded, "Four sisters, what do you mean by this? How did my father and mother ever give me a promise?"

Hearing this, Huai Enhou and Yin, who were sitting in front, looked over.

Yin looked at the two concubines who couldn't get on the table, his eyes were full of indifference, and he turned his head. If she thought about supervising concubines before, now she has no such thoughts. Since the death of her daughter, she has not cared about anything but revenge for her daughter.

Huai Enhou felt ashamed of his old face, and whispered, "What is it like to yell and yell?"

Yin coughed a few times, glanced at Huai Enhou, and then turned to look at Wei Hanzhou, who was kneeling upright and neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Why is this Lord Hou? I think this champion is good. If he abandoned his wife today, There is no guarantee that the third girl will not be abandoned in the future. If a woman can meet such a husband-in-law, it is really a blessing from her previous life."

Somehow, she suddenly remembered her little fateful daughter, grief came from it, and coughed again.
