The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife

"Teacher, the student is here to propose marriage!"

Following the shout, Dean Tao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yi Hao standing not far away with a smile on his face. Behind him followed Teng Lie and Yi Yuan, as well as a team of servants carrying various gifts. It looked very spectacular.

When Yi Hao saw Dean Tao, the smile on his face became even brighter. He quickly dismounted and walked to Dean Tao in two steps at a time.

He bowed deeply, then said respectfully, "Hello, teacher! I greet you."

Dean Tao looked at Yi Hao, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Yihao's shoulder.

Yi Hao stood up and asked with a smile, "Teacher, when did you come back? I've been missing you so much."

Dean Tao smiled and replied, "He just arrived yesterday."

In fact, he had submitted his resignation to the emperor years ago. He told the emperor that he wanted to return to the capital to attend his daughter's wedding, and after the wedding, he would retire to the countryside to enjoy his old age.

However, things did not go so smoothly.

On the Lantern Festival, Lu Zhizhou suddenly found Dean Tao with a transfer order, told him that the emperor had arranged for him to temporarily serve as the dean, and came to hand over the work to him.

Not only that, Lu Zhizhou also brought back President Tao's resignation letter, on which was clearly written the emperor's annotation of "agree".

When Dean Tao heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed, and he immediately handed over the work to Lu Zhizhou.

But who knows, Lu Zhizhou is very reluctant to do this, because he is already very busy, and now he has one more job, which makes him very annoyed.

So, he deliberately delayed the time, dragging out Dean Tao's return for two months, causing Dean Tao to return much later than originally planned.

After all, he managed to get back before his daughter proposed. He felt that the old villain Lu did it on purpose. After the handover, he even said that he would send two soldiers to escort him. It really made him angry.

Upon seeing Teng Lie and Yi Yuan, Dean Tao immediately put on an extremely cordial smile. He quickly stepped forward and greeted them with a bow, "Brother Yi Yuan, old Duke, how are you?"

Seeing this, Yi Yuan smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Brother Tao, we are all fine. Thank you for raising such an outstanding daughter. Otherwise, my boy would have been single for the rest of his life!"

Yi Hao, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard his father say this.

He felt that his father always spoke ill of him, but in this situation, he couldn't refute him, so he had to bow to Dean Tan obediently.

Dean Tan burst into laughter upon seeing this. He quickly waved his hand and said, "How could such a good son remain single? If my son could achieve such success, we as parents would be so happy!"

After hearing this, Yi Yuan quickly said modestly, "No, no, you're too kind!"

At this time, Teng Lie interrupted and said, "President Tao, can we start singing about the betrothal gifts?"

Dean Tao seemed to have just woken up from his dream. He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes. Look, I was so happy that I almost forgot about the business! Old Duke, please come in, please come in! In-laws, please come in too!"

After saying that, Dean Tao led everyone into the house.

As soon as they entered the house, the sound of firecrackers popped outside, making the place very lively.

At the same time, the butler began to read out the list of betrothal gifts aloud.

On the day of engagement, the woman's house is decorated with lights and is full of joy.

According to traditional customs, the bride's family needs to hold a banquet to entertain relatives and friends who come to congratulate them, because many friends will come to add to the bride's wedding on this day, so holding a banquet is essential.

Sure enough, when the announcement sounded, the guests arrived one after another.

The first to appear were Lin Xia, Guan Tong, Yinuo and Wu Fang. They left the house a little later than the betrothal team.

The concierge stood at the door, registering the gifts brought by the guests while announcing loudly: "The Grand Princess has added a set of Hetian jade head ornaments and a pair of jade ruyi!"

Then, another announcement came: "Mrs. Lin An from Yigu Mansion has added a set of ruby head ornaments, a pair of jade ruyi, and a pair of jade bottles!"

Afterwards, Mrs. Dingguo's gift was also announced: "Mrs. Dingguo has received a set of pearl head ornaments and some medicine for health!"

Soon after, the congratulatory gift from the Madam of Yigu Mansion arrived: "Madam of Yigu Mansion has given me a pair of Hetian jade bracelets and twelve jars of peach blossom wine!"

Finally, the Lord of Yigu also sent his housekeeper to add some makeup...

The sounds of singing filled the entire Tan Mansion with joy.

When Mrs. Tao heard these gifts, she was deeply moved and tears filled her eyes. This was a good relative who gave their family enough face.

The engagement ceremony went very smoothly and the scene was very lively.

After this banquet, everyone in the capital knew the good news that the young master of Yigu Mansion and Dean Tan’s niece were about to get married.

After hearing the news, Song Gang couldn't help but smile contemptuously. He thought to himself, "This Yi Hao is really stupid!

He actually married his teacher's daughter. Isn't this a waste of a great opportunity to curry favor with the ministers?

In Song Gang's opinion, marrying a powerful woman is a wise move, so that he can thrive in officialdom and rise to prominence.

Song Gang was feeling very proud.

His marriage to Wu Fei has been finalized, and they will be able to officially get married after he passes the imperial examination.

Moreover, he was planning to stay in the capital, so as long as he married Wu Fei, it would not be difficult for him.

However, Yihao doesn't care about what others think.

He had only one thought in his mind, and that was to marry the woman he loved, and that was enough.

As for other fame, wealth and status, he does not care about them. He only wants to do practical things for the people.

After the engagement ceremony, Yi Hao chose to move into the Tan Mansion without hesitation.

Because the crucial palace examination is coming up, he needs to devote himself to preparing for the exam.

Yi Hao was confident about his test results. He firmly believed that he would be able to get into the top class, so he was not worried about the results at all.

Now, his teacher is back, which undoubtedly gives him greater help.

The teacher can not only guide him on answering techniques for the palace examination, but also allow him to spend time with Tao Zhiyao during his preparation period.

How could Yi Hao miss the wonderful opportunity of being able to kiss and hug his beloved every day?

In just half a month, the results of the Spring Examination were finally announced.

There were crowds of people in front of the Imperial Examination Hall, and it was very lively.

There are not only candidates taking the exam here, but also many curious ordinary people who want to know who will be on the list of successful candidates first.

After all, whether or not one can pass the imperial examination depends entirely on today's imperial edict.

As everyone was eagerly waiting, the Jingzhao Yin slowly posted the imperial edict on the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

This action seemed to unveil a mysterious veil, and everyone's eyes were focused on the yellow paper.

Then, the legal advisor began to read aloud the contents of the imperial edict: "By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."

His voice was loud and solemn, echoing in the air and making people feel awe.

"The second day of the fourth month of the twenty-eighth year of the Qian'an reign..."

As the master read, every word struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer.

"...First place winner Yi Hao, from Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou; second place winner Lu Ming, from Pengcheng County, Xuzhou... tenth place winner Song Gang, from Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou..."

When the master read out these names, there were bursts of exclamations and cheers from the crowd from time to time.

The appearance of each name means that a person's destiny will change from then on.

Every time the legal advisor read out a name, two yamen runners holding the list and gongs and drums would quickly run to the home of the corresponding candidate to deliver the good news to them.
