Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

In the mansion of the Princess of Zhengyang County, Xu Jinyu was looking through the jewelry given by Emperor Xuan. The heavy feel made Xu Jinyu mutter,

"Gold and silver are really valuable! If you need money someday, you can take it out and exchange it for money. It's rare for the emperor to be a good person."

This time it was Nanny He's turn to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

"County Lady, the royal reward cannot be sold and must be carefully kept. If you are not careful, it will be a crime of disrespect."

"what!"

Xu Jinyu put down the jewelry in her hand in disappointment.

"I can't sell it or wear it, so why should I keep it? Is the emperor trying to trick me?"

The emperor is trying to trick you!

Eunuch Liu, who delivered the reward, answered Xu Jinyu in his heart with a smile on his face.

But that's not how it works.

"If you are in real trouble, you can sell it. His Majesty will not pursue it."

"oh."

Xu Jinyu agreed without much interest.

"Given the emperor's petty stinginess, it would be a miracle if we don't hold him accountable. He..."

Seeing that Xu Jinyu was about to curse in his heart again, Eunuch Liu quickly interrupted Xu Jinyu.

"Zhengyang County Lord receives the order~~"

Xu Jinyu looked at the plump gold ingots on the plate and a smile broke out on her face.

"This time the emperor is quite generous."

After giving the reward, Eunuch Liu slipped away as fast as he could, fearing that Xu Jinyu would say something scary again.

He is not young anymore and can't stand the stimulation.

As for collecting the money, forget it.

He accepted the money from Xu Jinyu because he felt he had lived too long.

As long as Xu Jinyu says something in the court, it will be fine!

All the civil and military officials knew that they had taken Xu Jinyu's gold.

Early the next morning, Xu Jinyu was dug out of bed by Nanny He again and was dressed up.

Xu Jinyu complained to Nanny He without even opening her eyes: "The banquet doesn't start until noon, why are you getting up so early?"

Nanny He's hands kept moving. But she replied respectfully, "Today's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet is called chrysanthemum appreciation, but it's actually a blind date party. The young men and women attending the banquet are all competing for beauty. Do you want to lose out?"

Xu Jinyu opened his sleepy eyes a little and yawned loudly.

"But we are not on the same track. As the first female official of Daqian, which woman can surpass me in popularity?"

"this·····"

Nanny He stopped what she was doing.

Indeed, as the first female official of Daqian, which young lady could overshadow the county lady?

Although some jealous people would privately say that the county lady was disrespectful of etiquette as a woman serving as an official, and that a woman who hangs out with men all day long...

Many people said nasty things in private, but no one dared to say them in the court or in front of the county lord.

Many women also envied Xu Jinyu for being able to walk out the door and stand openly in the court, which was something they could never do.

It was because the county princess was still young, otherwise the people proposing marriage would have trampled down the threshold of her mansion. She had already heard that someone had gone to the Crown Princess to test the waters.

"Go on sleeping, my Lord."

"This is right!"

Xu Jinyu turned over and continued to sleep.

By the time Xu Jinyu had a good sleep and arrived at Princess Yun Ran's Mansion, the place was already bustling with activity.

There was a long queue of carriages for the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. Before Xu Jinyu even got off a carriage, she heard a dispute going on ahead.

"Mr. Lei, stay away from my sister."

A short boy glared at a scholar.

The young boy's words were not very intimidating, so the scholar ignored him and pushed the young boy away. He bowed to the woman behind the boy and said, "Xue Niang, my family is poor, but this is not a reason for your Liu family to cancel the engagement just because of a disagreement."

"You...you..."

Liu Xueniang pointed at Lei Yiming in front of her with a pale face, her heart full of disbelief.

How dare Lei Yiming call out her maiden name in public? Wouldn't that tell everyone that he and she have a special relationship?

Moreover, it was clearly Lei Yiming's fault to cancel the engagement, so why is he now saying that the Liu family canceled the engagement for no reason?

But as a gentle woman, Liu Xueniang couldn't say anything unpleasant, and she pointed at Lei Yiming and trembled all over.

The young boy who was pushed aside saw that his sister was at a disadvantage, so he quickly squeezed in between the two of them, pointed at Lei Yiming's nose and cursed.

"If I don't cancel the engagement, will you take my sister's dowry and spend the night in a brothel?"

"You...you are shameless."

As a young boy from a scholarly family, it was difficult for him to utter an unpleasant curse.

"You said you didn't have money for the betrothal gifts, but your father saw that you were in difficulty and gave you money to buy the betrothal gifts. But you took the money and went to a brothel to find a girl first."

"What are you waiting for if you don't cancel the engagement?"

"Oh~~"

As soon as the young boy finished speaking, the people at the door looked at the scholar with contempt.

Some official families would choose talented scholars and marry their daughters off to lower-class families. Girls who married off to lower-class families would have their heads held high in their husband's families and would not be bullied.

This Lei Yiming is probably the talented scholar.

However, Lei Yiming was probably the first one to visit a brothel with the money given by his father-in-law for the betrothal gift.

Lei Yiming was not embarrassed at all in the face of everyone's contemptuous gazes. Instead, he straightened his chest and said, "What's wrong with a man visiting a brothel? Look, which adult has not visited a brothel?"

"you·····"

Liu Xuenniang was speechless. How could there be such a shameless person?

Wow! Eating for free, Xu Jinyu is interested in this.

He simply stuck his head out from the door curtain of the carriage and enjoyed the fun.

"County Lady, please pay attention to your manners!"

Looking at Xu Jinyu's actions, Nanny He covered her head with her hands in pain.

Xu Jinyu enthusiastically pulled Nanny He forward.

"Don't be embarrassed, this kind of excitement is very interesting."

Nanny He, with a stern face, was pulled to the front by Xu Jinyu. She looked at the scholar with his head held high on the left, and at the little girl who was so angry that she was crying on the right.

Well, it's really interesting, and the expression on my face can't help but relax.

Xu Jinyu glanced at the smiling Nanny He and said that everyone would like to watch this kind of excitement.

[Well~~ The problem is that you are not an official yet, you are just a scholar. It is still a question whether you can successfully pass the imperial examination and become an official. ]

【What if you fail after repeated attempts? 】

Hearing the mocking voices coming from the crowd, Lei Yiming jumped up.

He shouted excitedly to the people around him: "Who? Who cursed me?"

"Do you know who I am? I am Lei Yiming from Yuezhou. I have unparalleled poetic talent and literary talent. My teacher said that I would be the first person from Yuezhou to pass the imperial examination."

"puff···"

One of the onlookers couldn't help but laugh.

This laugh was like turning on a switch.

"Hahaha···"

"Hahaha·····"

·······

Anyone who knew where Yuezhou was couldn't help but laugh.

Such a smile obviously had ill intentions, and Lei Yiming's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Laugh! What are you laughing at!"
