After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 45
Jiang Zhao was chatting happily with Simubai, thinking about where to go later to celebrate both of them being nominated for the Gold List.

Si Mubai suggested that he should not go swimming in the lake. Jiang Zhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's late autumn now, and the lake is full of decaying lotus flowers. If there's anything good to swim, why don't you go home and lie down and sleep."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhao realized that his Northeast personality accidentally ran out again, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Fortunately, Si Mubai had long adapted to her rough personality.

Jiang Zhao is now focusing all his attention on the gambling booth, thinking that just now they bet all their money on themselves to become the champion, and they should make a lot of money later.

After a while, they will be able to collect the money when the people disperse a little bit. Now there are a little more people around the gambling booth, and they are probably all the people who won the bet just now.

Jiang Zhao patted Jiu Qi on the shoulder and said, "Well, you're right to hang out with me, if you voted for your young master just now, all your monthly bills for the past few months will be in vain, and you will cry when the time comes There is no place to cry."

Jiu Qi glanced at his son, and found that he was not angry, but smiling.

Then he nodded and said, "Well, the young master is right."

Jiang Zhao was young, so Jiuqi always called her the young master.

Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai were still chatting, and when they got the money, they could go to Jingshui Tower to have a big meal.

Last time it was Si Mubai's treat, this time she had to invite her back.

But they don't know that they have been targeted by a pack of wolves, or a pack of extremely rich wolves.

While speaking, Jiang Zhao felt as if someone was staring at her all the time. She turned her head and found a group of people rushing towards them aggressively.

She was still a little puzzled as to what this group of people were doing and how they looked like they were about to go to the battlefield.

One of the group shouted, "Jiang Zhao is over there, grab him quickly!"

Jiang Zhao's expression instantly changed to Erha's puzzled expression, why are they arresting him?
After all, he is also a majestic champion of the new discipline. These people dare to threaten to arrest him in broad daylight. Do they think that their life is too peaceful?

Immediately, Jiang Zhao's mind flashed through the group of rich men she saw before the announcement of the list. At that time, she was still thinking that she was also lucky enough to see the grand occasion of helping her son-in-law.

Now that I realized that I was a woman disguised as a man to participate in the imperial examination, and I was also the champion of this year's palace examination, I was simply a sweet potato in the eyes of this group of people.

Originally, she thought that since she is still a minor, she should not be targeted by these rich men.

But she forgot that this is ancient times, an era when one could get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she was sixteen, the age to be a father.

Thinking of this, she hastily tugged on Simu Bai's sleeve. When Simu Bai heard the voice, he knew what was going on, and wanted to run away after pulling Jiang Zhao, but there were too many people who came to see the list today. .

It was difficult for them to move an inch in the crowd, and they could only watch helplessly as the group of rich men ran over and surrounded themselves.

Each of them had a wretched smile of abducting a child on their faces.

But in the eyes of Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai, this smile looked like a group of perverts.

"Mr. Jiang Zhao, congratulations on your title on the gold list. You are the No. [-] in high school. My little girl is only [-] this year. She is as beautiful as a flower. If Mr. Jiang Zhao doesn't dislike her, my little girl is willing to marry you."

"Hey, your little girl is seventeen this year, she's old, she's ashamed to say she's twenty-eight, Mr. Jiang Zhao is only sixteen years old, Mr. Jiang Zhao, my little girl is fourteen years old, and she just happens to match you , I wonder if the young master has the will?"

"Young master, my youngest daughter is twelve this year. If you are interested, my young master, I am willing to marry ten thousand taels of gold for my little daughter."

"If Mr. Jiang Zhao is willing to marry my daughter, I will not only marry you as a dowry of ten thousand taels of gold, but also a hundred acres of fertile land."

……

Everyone scrambled to tell how much they would like to marry for their daughter, hoping to impress Jiang Zhao with these things.

After all, Jiang Zhao was from a poor family, and what he lacked the most was gold and silver. In the officialdom, he needed to make connections, which also required gold and silver to open the way.

However, as the person involved, Jiang Zhao was a little ashamed. This time travel not only experienced a beauty, but also made her experience what it means to live with a rare commodity.

Naturally, it is impossible for her to marry the daughters of these people. If she does, won't her own daughter be exposed?
What's more, she is now married to someone else's daughter, isn't she harming someone else's daughter?

But this group of people surrounded them and didn't give them a chance to leave.

And those palace servants who released the list watched all this calmly, and had no intention of coming up to help them at all.

This group of rich men come here every year, and they are used to it.

Jiang Zhao looked at the group of people with a bitter expression. No matter how she explained that she didn't want to marry now, they just didn't listen.

When everyone was fighting for Jiang Zhao, Si Mubai was not spared.

Those who couldn't come up with a dowry that was as exciting as the previous ones set their sights on Si Mubai, the prospect.

"Young Master Si, although I can't produce ten thousand taels of gold or a hundred acres of fertile land, if you are willing to marry my youngest daughter, my family's family business can become your help in the court in the future."

"How many taels of silver is your family property worth, Mr. Si, my little girl was born beautiful and beautiful since she was a child, and the fortune-teller said that my little girl's horoscope is the most prosperous. If you marry my little girl back, Mr. Si will be in court before the court." You will be able to rise step by step.”

"Young Master Si, this is a portrait of my little girl. I'm not bragging about it. Even in Huaijing City, my little girl's beauty is top-notch."

"Master Si, take a look at the portrait of my little girl..."

……

Everyone threw out their chips one after another, hoping to lure Si Mubai.

Some experienced rich men even prepared their portraits. Simu Bai and Jiang Zhao were almost overwhelmed by these portraits.

The place where the rankings were originally released, by the way, became the place where Si Mubai and Jiang Zhao chose their concubines.

Now, everyone took the portrait of their daughter and began to compare their beauty.

Whoever has a beautiful daughter or a rich family will be able to stand at the front and be the closest to Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai.

And those daughters who were average-looking and whose family property was not rich enough could only stand behind, holding up the portraits in their hands vigorously, hoping that Jiang Zhao and Si Mubai could see them.

If Jiang Zhao and Simubai were willing, they could each bring a beautiful girl home today.

And probably more than one, if they wanted to.

But neither of them had this intention.

The two could only say: "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for not being sensitive."

Those poor kids who didn't pass the exam and came to see the fun, looked at this scene, and they were all envious.

Even the few children from poor families who passed the examination but ranked relatively low in the palace examination were chased by rich men to marry their daughters.

One of them expressed his willingness to marry a wife on the spot, and was immediately taken back by the rich man Gao Dama.

Although he was looked down upon by several other poor families and scolded for not having the backbone of a scholar, he studied hard for decades, wasn't it just for this moment?
Everyone has his own pursuit, and what he pursues is to live a life of prosperity and wealth.

Now that these are all available at your fingertips, why would he give up?
