Chapter 622 5 Fortune 4
Pan Lou would not let his guests leave, so he held a poetry contest in the building, invited great scholars to comment on the poems, and published a list of the top scholars, thus attracting more people.
These tricks are all old tricks, nothing new. However, it doesn't matter if the trick is old, as long as it is useful.
Sifuzhai came up with the idea of using literary competition to recruit a bride, which attracted people.
This time, Chang Ran did not intervene, and the winner was the other person who participated in the second joint competition with Du Yangxi in the play. Naturally, the people of the Li family were not very satisfied with this son-in-law. Whether in poetry or appearance, the other party was too ordinary.
In order to prevent Sanniang from really marrying him, the eldest sister gave her another test question, which made her give up.
Although the marriage did not take place, Sifuzhai made a lot of money this time and even bought the yard next door.
It snowed heavily in Bianjing. When Shouhua was out, he rescued Du Yangxi who was frozen on the road and brought him back to Li's house. After Du Yangxi regained consciousness, he kept chanting Xingguo Temple.
Seeing him like this, Shouhua suggested sending a waiter to take a trip, and then brought back the seriously ill Sang Yanrang.
In order to save the two, the Li family looked for doctors and medicine. Mrs. Li felt sorry for the money at first, but when she knew that they were both successful candidates, she was overjoyed.
After finding out about Du Yangxi and Sang Yanrang's situation, Sanniang knew that she couldn't force her husband to repay her kindness, so she thought of setting up a trap to make the two of them propose marriage.
The following year, in the first month of the year, the provincial examination was finally about to begin. Lady Li asked Sanniang to make Dingsheng cakes by herself and gave them to Du Yangxi and Sang Yanrang in the name of the Li family.
After spending so much time together, the two of them became more familiar with the Li family, but they never proposed marriage. Mrs. Li was also very anxious, worried that she had made a loss this time.
Today, the emperor went to the Five Mountains Temple and Yingxiang Pond, and returned late. The city was crowded with people, and it was best to pick up things when the crowds just dispersed. In the evening, the Li family went to sweep the streets together. Sanniang didn't pick up any treasures this time.
The next day, the Palace Front Department arrested people everywhere for questioning and searching for the stolen treasures. Sanniang was not concerned about it and was not panicked, just listening to the excitement.
On February 2, the provincial examination results were announced. Du Yangxi won the first place, and Sang Yanrang won the sixth place. Lady Li was happy for the two, but she felt sorry that the marriage had not been decided yet.
In March, after the palace examination, the top scholar was paraded through the streets. Du Yangxi was ranked third, and Sang Yanrang was still sixth.
The Li family also came to the street to watch the fun. Of course, the main reason was that the marriage had not been completed, and Mrs. Li wanted to take this opportunity to let Dusang and his wife see what their daughters looked like.
When Sang Yanrang saw Shouhua, he recognized her as the woman who had helped him before. He didn't expect that he would be saved by her family again this time, and he felt that they were destined to be together.
After a few days, he came to the Li family to propose marriage. Mrs. Li was naturally happy that her wish had come true. However, she did not expect that the person being proposed to was Shouhua. But it was okay, as long as she could marry one.
Shouhua was reluctant at first, but Sang Yanrang told him about their past relationship. He also took out the portrait he had treasured. With the help of the little puppet, the portrait was not stolen this time.
After learning the whole story, Lady Li said that her previous request had come true and she agreed immediately. The wedding date was set for May, before the imperial court granted her an official position.
While Sang Yan was making everything go smoothly here, Du Yangxi was also busy.
Miss Yu had seen Du Yangxi on the day of the parade of the top scholar and had fallen in love with him. Knowing that he had not yet married, she told Prime Minister Yu about her thoughts.
