Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 38 Ye Xuan’s Wedding

Ye Xuan and the Shen family wrote letters and agreed on the time for the marriage.

The day for the betrothal gift arrived in an instant.

Ye Xuan wears a straight light blue robe with a round collar and a jade-like hair crown on his head. His long black hair is tied into a ball. He is as gentle as jade, with red lips and white teeth, and a graceful demeanor.

He rode on a tall black horse and headed towards Shen's Mansion. Behind him were horse-drawn carriages carrying boxes of betrothal gifts.

Along the way, it attracted countless eyes.

"What a handsome young man!"

"Whose young master is this? So rich and handsome."

...

The Huaichun girl on the road screamed crazily, shaking the handkerchief at Ye Xuan vigorously, with a look of infatuation on her face.

"drive!"

Ye Xuan whipped his horse whip and galloped towards Shen's house.

Shen Mansion.

The betrothal gift was delivered to the mansion, and Ye Xuan was welcomed into the hall.

Shen Wansan was sitting at the top, with an honest face, a generous demeanor, and a gentle smile on his face.

"My dear nephew, when we meet you today, you are indeed extraordinary. No wonder my Rong'er will not marry you unless you are the one."

he said with a smile.

Ye Xuan's outstanding appearance made Shen Wansan very satisfied.

Although Ye Xuanguan is young and has an average family background, his appearance matches his Rong'er very well.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you are handsome. Men are not brothel girls. They need to rely on their looks to make a living."

A strange voice came from the side.

Shen Jin's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Jin'er!"

Shen Wansan pulled a face and shouted reprimandingly.

Shen Jin crossed his arms and turned his face away.

"I'm sorry, nephew, my son has been spoiled by me in the past, so he is so rude."

Shen Wansan's face showed apology.

Ye Xuan saw this scene in his eyes.

It seems that his future cheap brother-in-law is a little dissatisfied with his brother-in-law.

He didn't pay attention.

After all, he was marrying Shen Rong, not this future cheap brother-in-law.

Besides, if Shen Jin is still so ignorant in the future, Ye Xuan will have plenty of time to deal with him.

Ye Xuan exchanged a few words with Shen Wansan, gave away the betrothal gift, and left.

...

Crack, crackle, crackle...

The festive firecrackers sounded and white smoke filled the air.

Ye Mansion was full of joy.

The team that welcomed the bride blew trumpets and carried the wedding sedan, returning to Ye Mansion to prepare for the wedding.

The Shen family also came to Ye Xuan's house.

Ye Xuan was only a fifth-rank official, his residence was relatively small, and its decoration was relatively simple.

After all, officials in the Ming Dynasty had salaries.

Ye Xuan can afford to keep servants, which is considered very good, but he does not have such extravagant money to decorate his mansion.

Shen Jin looked at Ye Mansion with disgust on his face.

"The furniture is all ordinary wood furniture. The halls are all shabby ordinary calligraphy and paintings. There is not even a calligraphy and painting by a famous scholar. They are all of a kind that cannot be put on the table."

"This Ye Xuan, isn't he too poor?"

Shen Wansan glanced at his son, who had an unabashed look of disgust on his face, and whispered a reminder.

"Today is your sister's happy day."

"Do not say silly things."

Shen Jin curled his lips.

Not even telling the truth?

Ye Xuan looks poor, comes from an average family background, but looks a bit more handsome. How many handsome men are there in the world? He really didn't know how his sister fell in love with Ye Xuan.

In his opinion, Shen Rong's stunning appearance and the Shen family's monstrous wealth were enough for them to climb into the royal family. However, his father and sister had their sights set on Ye Xuan.

The sound of festive firecrackers kept ringing.

Officials came one after another.

Most of these officials were fifth-rank officials of the same rank as Ye Xuan, or colleagues in the Ministry of Rites.

"Brother Ye, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Brother Ye married a beautiful wife. It is really enviable. I heard that the bride is the daughter of Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan?

Tsk tsk, Brother Ye is so lucky. Miss Shen is so beautiful and beautiful. Countless young talents want to marry her. I didn’t expect to let Brother Ye cut off his beard. I am afraid that from today on, Brother Ye will become the enemy of countless young talents. People. "

"Brother Ye and Miss Shen are both talented and good-looking. No, with Brother Ye's handsome appearance, I don't know who is taking advantage of whom when he marries Miss Shen."

"Hahaha... You are right, Brother Ye, you are very happy today, so you have to have a drink with us."

"The joy of life can be said to be the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, when the names of the gold medals were named, Brother Ye, you are now valued by the emperor. The emperor even asked you to write the test questions in person in the court, and now you have married a beautiful wife. It can be said to be even more joyful. "

Some familiar colleagues in the Ministry of Rites teased Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile and replied:

"Today is my happy day. Everyone, eat and drink well. You're welcome."

"You guys talk first, I'll go receive the other guests."

Ye Xuan kept walking among the guests who came to the wedding banquet, with a smile on his face, and the red groom's clothes on his body also made him look red.

Everyone in the Shen family helped Ye Xuan greet the guests.

"Please come in, please come in, please go inside."

"Thank you for coming to my daughter and son-in-law's wedding."

Shen Wansan entertained the guests with a happy face.

Let the servants bring the guests in.

Shen Jin's face showed dissatisfaction.

"Dad, although my sister is married to Ye Xuan, we are considered in-laws, but Ye Xuan doesn't have any relatives. We need to do even things like entertaining guests."

"Can't we just ask the servants to greet us?"

He said dissatisfiedly after seeing a group of guests entering.

"The people who are coming include officials from the imperial court. If we let the servants come to receive them, wouldn't it look like we are being negligent? Moreover, if the servants are reckless and offend the other party, this would be inappropriate."

Shen Wansan's face was still full of joy.

He glanced at Shen Jin, who had an unhappy face, "If you don't want to receive guests at the door, then you can find a place to stay by yourself and don't cause trouble. Do you understand?"

Shen Wansan reminded Shen Jin, fearing that he would cause trouble in Ye Mansion without knowing the seriousness of it.

Shen Jin curled his lips, with disdain on his face, "These people are all fifth-rank officials, so why not offend them?

Also, this Ye Xuan is just a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, and the person who can come to congratulate must not be a high official.

Dad, have you seen the betrothal gift given by Ye Xuan before? That betrothal gift was too modest.

The dowry given by our Shen family today is extremely valuable. My sister’s dowry alone can make her the richest man in a small county. Why do we give Ye Xuan so many things? Ye Xuan is really cheap. "

Shen Wansan couldn't stand listening anymore. His son's words became more and more outrageous.

He frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, "You have been talking nonsense today. What kind of medicine did you take wrongly? First, you dislike the Ye family for being poor, and then you dislike your sister's large dowry.

It doesn’t matter that the Ye family is poor. They are officials of the fifth rank after all. We are merchants, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. Merchants have the lowest status. If others hear you talking like this, they will be punished!

Also, that is your sister's dowry, which is what your father and I are willing to give, and what your sister deserves. "

"Get in, don't embarrass yourself here, and stop talking nonsense!"

Shen Jin's face was full of depression and his heart was filled with anger.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wansan actually scolded him for Ye Xuan.

How can Ye Xuan be so virtuous?

Just a five-grade sesame and mung bean official.

At this moment, the servant welcoming the guests outside the door suddenly shouted: "Li Hangong has sent a congratulatory gift..."
