Chapter 09: Rushing for the Exam

A big incident happened recently in the Red Mansion.

Ruiyun girl, who is regarded as a cash cow by Aunt Bustard Hong and is likely to compete for the position of Oiran in the future, suddenly has an ink-colored mark on her forehead when she is about to pick up customers.

No matter what, this mark can't be washed clean, but it gets clearer and clearer the more it is washed, as if it has a strange disease.

For this reason, Aunt Bustard Hong was heartbroken about this matter, and sent people to invite several famous miracle doctors in Qiantang County one by one, but to no avail. Later, he was unwilling to spend a lot of money to invite 'Xue Liuzhi' Xue Shenyi from Huijifu City to come in person, but the result was still helpless and unable to remove the ink mark.

Even after a few days, the ink marks gradually expanded, spreading to the surrounding area, and the entire forehead was covered and touched the cheekbones!

As a result, Miss Ruiyun, who was originally talented and beautiful, was immediately left out in the cold, and there were basically no visitors.

Slowly, even Aunt Hong gradually gave up on Ruiyun, no longer reported any hope, and all kinds of treatment were cut. If the black mark on Ruiyun's forehead is not eliminated after a while, I am afraid that she will be directly taken away from her makeup and work with the maidservant.

"You Long, what are you going to do?" Xu Xian asked as he looked at He Liang, who had lost a lot of weight in recent days and still had a chubby face.

Guangning Taoist priest's words, Xu Xian truthfully told He Liang, what to do next, can only depend on He Liang himself.

"I ......" He Liang opened his mouth and looked at Xu Xian for a long time, but finally stopped talking and didn't speak.

In the past few days, Ruiyun has almost no guests, and He Liang is the only one who has visited her a few times. So what happened to Ruiyun, He Liang also implemented it.

After a long while, He Liang let out a sigh and said, "I want to redeem Ruiyun, and then ...... Marry her!"

"Because of what?" Xu Xian glanced at him and asked.

Xu Xian saw He Liang's entanglement and hesitation.

"Of course not!" He Liang immediately replied categorically, and said: "The most important thing in this life is to be a confidant. When I was in the scenery of Ruiyun, I treated me differently, when I was a confidant. Now that she's down, how can I abandon her because of that?"

"Then what are you hesitating about? It shouldn't be difficult to redeem Ruiyun now, right?" Xu Xian said in surprise.

In the past, Ruiyun, He Liang naturally couldn't come up with the money to redeem Ruiyun.

But now that Ruiyun has become like this, Yihong Mansion is about to demote her to a maidservant, and it has never cost much silver to ransom her.

He Liang said distressedly: "It's Ruiyun who refuses to go with me." She said that she was not worthy of me now, and that others would laugh at me if I married her, and told me not to go to her again in the future. I...... What do I care about!"

Xu Xian was very surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, He Liang, who is usually not good-looking and looks simple and silly, is so infatuated and affectionate, even if Ruiyun's appearance has been ruined, he has never changed his mind at all, and he has not even hesitated.

In the past, in Xu Xian's opinion, He Liang was actually still heartless, and most of the children were gentlemen.

After this incident, Xu Xian's opinion of his classmate has changed a lot.

In the Dali Dynasty where men dominated, it was not uncommon for a negative man like Chen Shimei to be seen, but an infatuated lover like He Liang was rare and rare.

And this Ruiyun girl is also a strange woman, when she was sought after by everyone and had unlimited scenery, she was not moved by many wild bees and butterflies, and she didn't know why she took a fancy to He Liang. Now that she is disfigured, He Liang wants to redeem her life, but she is unwilling to drag her down.

"I must marry Ruiyun!I will convince her!" He Liang said with serious eyes, then looked sideways at Xu Xian and asked, "Hanwen, what do you think?"

"I fully support you!If there's anything you need my help with, just tell me!" Xu Xian said with a smile.

He is willing to be an adult, and he hopes that there will be lovers in the world who will eventually become married.

Even if He Liang is not his friend, he will not shirk if he can help in this matter.

"However, I may be able to help with He Liang. In the future, my wife and I are destined not to have smooth sailing, and there will be many tribulations. When the time comes, who will be able to help us?" Xu Xian thought in his heart.

On your own!

......

......

He Liang wants to redeem Ruiyun and marry her home, which is not something that can be done in a short time.

First, it is not easy for him to convince Ruiyun, Ruiyun is a person with a relatively stubborn personality, and it is difficult to change the things he believes, otherwise Aunt Hong would have forced her to pick up guests;

Even the second point is even more difficult than the first!

He Liang is also a scholar, and his family is also a wealthy family in Qiantang County, and his family will definitely oppose marrying a Qinglou woman. Now that Ruiyun's appearance is still flawed, it is even more difficult.

Therefore, He Liang had to put this matter aside for the time being and start the April government test first.

Like Xu Xian, he has ten days to take the government exam, thinking about becoming a child and struggling.

This time, He Liang also regarded the government examination as particularly important, his idea was that if he could gain fame and improve his status, he would have more power to speak at home or outside, and it would be easier for him to marry Ruiyun at that time.

However, his level is about the same as the original Xu Xian, if he doesn't take shit luck, it will not be easy to pass the government test to become a child.

"Hanwen, when you go to Fucheng, you have to pay attention to your own safety, be careful everywhere, and be more attentive. You also have to take care of your body, don't stay up late to read a book in the last few days, and rest well. ”

Before leaving, Xu Jiaorong handed over the burden containing clothes, dry food, books and other sundries to Xu Xian and told him carefully.

"Alright, alright. Jiaorong, don't worry, this time I will accompany Han Wen to Fucheng, and I promise that nothing will happen! Come, give me something!" Standing next to the two sisters and brothers was a tall man wearing the official uniform of the county government to take over the burden.

This person is none other than Li Gongfu. Xu Xian's brother-in-law......

Future, of course.

Now Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong are not married, but under Xu Xian's deliberate matchmaking, the two are almost good.

"You also promise that you can't take care of yourself yet!" Xu Jiaorong glanced at Li Gongfu angrily.

Because they are already very familiar and the wedding date is approaching, Xu Jiaorong doesn't have to be too polite in front of Li Gongfu.

said that Li Gongfu was just going to Fucheng to go to the public office, and he happened to be able to accompany Xu Xian to the exam, so Xu Jiaorong would feel a lot more settled.

Otherwise, she would probably not be at ease to accompany Xu Xian in person!

Although Hangzhou is not far from Qiantang County, it doesn't take a day to walk. If there are fast horses, more than an hour is enough.

This time I went to Hangzhou Mansion, in addition to my brother-in-law Li Gongfu, I naturally had He Liang. He waited at the gate of the city first, and the three of them made an appointment to set off from Qiantang County in the early morning, and they would almost arrive at Hangzhou Mansion in the evening.
