Aunt!
As soon as this name came out, everyone in the audience held their breath, including Xiao Changle.
He also didn't know that his mother's guest would be Xia'er's aunt. It was simply too much of a coincidence.
Shi Wanqing and her daughter met Wang while burning incense in a temple.
Xiao Changle won the first place in the imperial examination, and Wang went to burn incense and fulfill her wish.
As for how Shi Wanqing and her daughter happened to meet Wang in the temple and then became friends with her, it was naturally because they were waiting for something to happen.
Since Shi Wanqing and her daughter were driven out of the Marquis' Mansion by Shi Anxia, they have been staying in the capital, on the one hand to find the whereabouts of their son, and on the other hand to arrange a marriage for their daughter.
She inquired about the identities and backgrounds of almost all the top 50 candidates on the Jinshi list, and finally set her sights on the top scholar.
There is a reason why I dare to dream of becoming the top scholar.
If someone in the family of a student in the previous dynasty was involved in a cheating case, it would definitely affect the students taking the exam. But Emperor Mingde loved talent, so he not only did not prohibit the son of the offender from continuing to take the exam, but also appointed him as the top scholar.
Therefore, this year's top scholar is no longer very attractive to most of the noble families.
One of the reasons is naturally that someone in the top scholar's family was imprisoned or exiled, which greatly reduced his family background.
The second reason was that this number one scholar was maybe a little stupid, he asked to be transferred from the capital to Jeju to serve as the prefect.
He is so far away from home, who would be willing to marry their daughter to him?
So the top scholar Xiao Changle died in such a way that Wang was very anxious.
When Wang fulfilled her wish, she also prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless her son with a smooth marriage.
Isn’t it here?
Shi Wanqing set her sights on Xiao Changle. Since her son was not good enough to get a top scholar, it would be nice to have a top scholar son-in-law.
Shi Wanqing would have to return to Huizhou sooner or later, so it really didn't matter whether her daughter married in the capital or not.
The most important point is that the daughter's innocence was destroyed by what happened earlier. Although there was no gossip in the Marquis' Mansion, the capital city was not safe after all.
It would be better to go to Jeju.
Based on a lot of calculations, Shi Wanqing and her daughter followed Wang to the temple to burn incense when they saw her.
Shi Wanqing was so moved that she almost cried to death in front of the Bodhisattva, saying that her son could not stand the pressure of the imperial examination and ran away from home.
My son, mother will not force you anymore!
My son, you ranked third in the test, what a good result! Why are you so depressed?
Mothers have the most common topics.
Seeing how passionately the other party was crying, Wang asked and found out that Mrs. Qiu's son was also very outstanding. If he hadn't run away from home, he would probably be as good as her son.
Wang hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time, and today she had a very pleasant chat with Mrs. Qiu.
Moreover, her son had won the first place in the imperial examination, but Wang had never received anyone because of her shameful illness. But now that they were strangers, she felt more relaxed.
Wang saw Mrs. Qiu's thoughtfulness and Miss Qiu's gentleness and tranquility.
She heard that Mrs. Qiu was looking for a marriage for Miss Qiu, and her son was also in need of a wife. Isn't this a perfect match?
Wang had a different meaning in her mind, so she looked at Qiu Zimo a few more times. She saw that this girl was well-behaved and quiet, and was a good girl.
Seeing Wang's expression, Shi Wanqing knew that she was obviously fond of her daughter, so she decided to strike while the iron was hot and arrange the marriage before Xiao Changle left Beijing.
After all, the longer the night, the more dreams there are! If what happened that night got out, wouldn’t it be the end?
Because of concerns about this, Shi Wanqing used to tell everyone "we are the Jian'an Marquis Mansion", but now she doesn't mention it at all.
This led to Wang not knowing at all that this so-called Mrs. Qiu was actually her son's godmother's former elder sister-in-law and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an.
