Xie Yun was very satisfied, so he said, "Your second sister had some accidents, and her marriage has been arranged. Someone will come to propose marriage soon.
But you are her elder sister after all. It would be inappropriate for her to get married before you.
So I have also chosen a good marriage for you, with a student of the same grade as me.
His student is very outstanding. Not only is he a well-behaved person, but he is also young and handsome, and can write good articles. He will definitely pass the exam this time.
Besides, his family is a wealthy one in the area. If you marry him, you will be able to live a life of luxury, no worse than your own family."
Shay's cheeks flushed and she lowered her head shyly: "A daughter always listens to her father."
Mrs. Xie was delighted. "Tell me in detail, what's that man's name? Where does he live? What does his family do?"
Biyang County.
Master Sun held the letter and looked at Scholar Zhu excitedly.
"Look at this, he agreed to the thing I told you last time!"
Zhu Xiucai took the letter and looked at it carefully.
Master Sun continued, "Although she is a concubine's daughter, Master Xie has only three daughters, and she is the only one who has grown up. With your talent, if you marry her, Master Xie will definitely teach you everything he knows and help you pass the imperial examination as soon as possible."
As soon as Zhu Xiucai heard it, he knew that Master Sun was still unaware of the changes in the capital.
He put down the letter he had finished reading and sighed softly, "It seems you don't know yet, sir. Scholar Xie has been dismissed from office, and his wife has been sentenced to death by slicing."
"What!" Master Sun's face turned pale with shock and he suddenly knocked over the teacup beside him.
The teacup rolled to the ground and exploded with a loud bang. He ignored the mess and looked at Zhu Xiucai with a panicked expression and asked, "Where did you get this information? Xie Xueshi's wife is the Empress's sister. How could she be sentenced to death by slicing?"
Zhu Xiucai then revealed the story of Chen Fang murdering Xie Yun's original wife, hiring assassins to kill his original wife's family, and colluding with mountain bandits to kill Xie Xiu, and finally being beaten by the Luo clan leader to protest his injustice.
Master Sun's expression changed constantly as he listened, and he finally said dejectedly, "I never expected it to be like this! It's a good thing you got the news, otherwise if you had agreed, I would have put you in great trouble!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiucai said, "Sir, don't feel guilty. I am willing to marry that lady Xie."
"This..." Master Sun frowned and looked at him in surprise, "The Xie family has suffered such a disaster, and the legitimate wife has even been living abroad, and you are still willing to marry the Xie family's concubine?"
Zhu Xiucai said, "The legitimate wife of the Xie family is living abroad. What does that have to do with the illegitimate wife? She shouldn't be blamed for the mistakes made by the legitimate mother."
Master Sun thought for a moment, then said, "Xie Yun's wife has committed a serious crime, and her two sons will inevitably be implicated and unable to continue taking the imperial examinations.
If you marry the Xie family's concubine at this time, Xie Yun will definitely look at you differently. If the news spreads that you already have an engagement, then your willingness to get married after the incident at the Xie family will become a good story.
Zhu Xiucai said nothing, but just raised his lips slightly.
Xie Yun's wife was sentenced to death by slicing, but he himself was only dismissed from office, which can be considered as a safe escape.
It was obvious that this person was extremely cunning, and Emperor Taihe had no intention of killing him.
In this way, not only will this marriage not be an obstacle for him, but he will also get the help of Xie Yun.
After all, Biyang County is too small, and although he is confident of passing the imperial examination this time, the possibility of passing the imperial examination to become a Jinshi is not great.
With his family background, it was not difficult for him to find a suitable marriage. But marrying the daughter of an official was not so easy.
Xie Yun's concubine's daughter is his best choice now.
If he marries her, and with Xie Yun's full support, he will surely be able to pass the imperial examination in the spring three years later!
Zhu Xiucai stood up and bowed deeply to Master Sun. "Please write a letter of recommendation for me, and I will go to the capital to propose marriage immediately!"
