Chapter 378: The Scholar Who Made His Fortune by Selling His Wife
[The two wives before him were sold. Others sold their daughters to get rich, but he sold his wife to support the imperial examination. How could he be so cruel!]
Emperor Xuan took a look at the 42nd place in the second class mentioned by Xu Jinyu and knocked on the table: "Look, this is a scholar. All the propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are just lip service. No matter how bright and clear they appear on the surface, it is just a means for them to climb up. So remember, never judge a person by his appearance."
"It depends on what they do and what the final result is."
Emperor Xuan used the following incident to teach his crown prince a lesson.
[When he was just fifteen years old, he married himself a hard-working wife, who worked herself to death to support his studies. He also lied to his wife, saying that he would make her his wife a royal consort when he passed the imperial examination.]
[He failed to become a royal consort. On the day he passed the imperial examination, when his wife came to take him home, she sold his wife to a broker from another place, and specifically told him to sell her to another place. Then he went home alone. After that, he couldn't find his wife, so he mobilized the whole village to help him look for her. After all the trouble, everyone believed that his wife had met with an accident.]
Zuo Yuanying nudged the official next to him and said, "This No. 42 in the second class has to study and make money at the same time, and he is too busy to handle it, so he specially married a wife to exploit him, and then dumped her without hesitation after using her to the fullest."
The official was born in a poor family and understood what poor people have to face when they study. He did not judge the 42nd place in the second class, but just said softly,
"Before I passed the imperial examination, I could only sleep for two hours a day. The rest of the time I had to copy books to support my life and tuition. The rest of the time was my study time. If you come from a poor family, this is how studying is done."
Needless to say, everyone already knows the rest.
The man ranked 42nd in the second class is taking advantage of his wife.
[In less than three months, someone came to him to act as a matchmaker, and he married the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the county. When he passed the imperial examination, he used the same trick again and sold her directly to Dai Viet. In this way, even if the daughter of the wealthy merchant had some knowledge, it would not be easy for her to come back. Then he swallowed up all the property of the daughter of the wealthy merchant and created the illusion that the daughter had eloped with someone.]
[His former father-in-law not only had to endure the pain of losing his daughter, but also had to apologize to him. He got all the benefits, right?]
[Then within three months, he married the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the capital. Now, this daughter's fate was also arranged. She offended the powerful in the capital and was beaten to death.]
[Is it true that getting promoted and getting rich leads to the death of the wife? It turns out that no man is a good person! ]
All officials: Sir Xu, please don’t kill all men with one blow.
besides·······
The area around No. 42 in the second class suddenly became empty, and there was no official who had anything to do with this No. 42 in the second class.
Who knows what else a man like this could do who could sell his own wife without blinking an eye? It's better to stay away from him.
After all, we only have one life, and we need to cherish it.
Class 2, No. 42: What’s wrong with everyone? They are avoiding him like the plague. They were fine just now.
It was a pity that no one would explain to him that wherever the 42nd place winner of the second class of the Enrong Banquet that night went, there would be a blank space.
Although the Jinshi scholars didn't know why everyone around the 42nd place in the second class had a quota, they could follow his example, and no one got close to the 42nd place in the second class.
【Next·····】
Everyone exhaled: "Quick! Quick! Master Xu, hurry up, so far, we have only married off one daughter, please quickly pick someone for us."
[Fiftyth place in the second class, how can this person still be a poor little guy. ]
How could a newly-minted Jinshi, the emperor's disciple, be such a poor little thing?
Everyone was not convinced and looked at the fifty people in the second class.
"Well, he does look a little pitiful." An official said pertinently.
I saw the fifty-something from the second class sitting in a corner, drinking by himself, with a slight blush on his face and traces of crying in the corners of his eyes. He looked lost, and it was obvious that he had just been heartbroken.
【参加恩荣宴之前刚被心爱的姑娘毫不留情的拒绝了，怪不得现在正在借酒浇愁呢，因为心爱的姑娘骂他有病，还是有大病的那种，还说，要不是看在你是天子门生的面子上，今天一定要让人揍他一顿。】
[The young boy's heart was broken into pieces, so sad. 】
[That was the girl he had been pursuing for four months, and they had agreed to marry her after he passed the imperial examination. Why did she turn hostile after he passed the imperial examination?]
[He didn't rank well in the exam, or he has to wait until he is assigned an official position before proposing marriage, or the clothes he wore today are not good-looking, this pathetic guy is making up excuses for himself. ]
At this moment, everyone looked at the fifty-something in the second class with pity. He was such a talented young man, why didn't the girl like him? If the girl really didn't like him, they would have gone for him.
[Why did this girl reject the 50th person in the second class? He is a good guy, healthy, has no bad habits, has a harmonious family, and is well-off. He is a very good marriage partner.]
[Ah, the girl cursed because she didn't even know the 50th place in the second class! ]
[Think about it, it makes sense. Suddenly, a stranger comes up to you and says lovingly, "Miss, I have passed the imperial examination, so I came here today to tell you that after the banquet, I will come to propose marriage. Please wait for the good news."]
[Just cursing is already a sign of restraint. If I hadn’t restrained myself, I would have just come up and hit people. ]
"Ahem...this guy couldn't be a scammer." An official couldn't help but say.
"They suddenly come up with this, it really seems like they are trying to scam me. Or does this person think that as long as they pass the imperial examination, they can pick any hungry lady in the capital."
The image of the fifty-something in the second class became gloomy in the minds of all officials. This person is not good enough.
Sudden····
【Ha ha ha ha········】
[Hahahaha········I am dying of laughter~~]
