Make a fortune by farming in another world

Chapter 79

Government examination results released

He Yunqi's movements froze when he heard this, and those far away saw that he didn't answer for a while.

Yu Zhou and Tao Jiang were right beside him and could clearly see the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. Yu Zhou was fine. In this kind of situation, if He Yunqi himself hadn't reacted yet, it would definitely be inappropriate for him, as a friend, to stand up and refute first.

Tao Jiang was different. He had been close to He Yunqi since childhood and knew clearly why this man said that about his cousin. Moreover, the results of the provincial examination were about to be announced, with so many scholars watching. How could he allow someone to tarnish his cousin's reputation like this?

So as soon as he folded the folding fan, his expression instantly became cold, and his voice sounded as if it was mixed with ice shavings, "My maternal family has been studying for generations. From our ancestors to the present, there are not many Jinshi and Juren who have been awarded. As long as they are officials, Everyone is known for his integrity. Due to his health, my cousin took the imperial examination for the first time this year. Although he won the county title in one fell swoop, he is still far away from becoming an official. However, you said that he was greedy for wealth and did not know how to be corrupt. What kind of wealth do you have, or is it because you are greedy for your family’s wealth?”

The two people who came to cause trouble, in addition to being one fat and one thin, also dressed very differently. If the fat man dressed because he was afraid that others would not see that his family was rich, the thin man was completely the opposite, and his long gown was washed and a little white.

So when Tao Jiang said that he coveted his family's wealth, many people around him laughed.

The thin man seemed to have been poked in the soft spot, and his hands hanging by his side instantly clenched into fists, and his face became gloomy.

However, this expression only lasted for a moment, and he quickly changed his expression and sneered, "Do you think that you can cover up the fact that he is greedy for wealth by talking about your family's life experience and then belittling me?"

Tao Jiang wanted to say something else, but He Yunqi, who had come to his senses, gave him a look. With the tacit understanding of Yu Zhou and others, they knew that this was a hint that he didn't need to help.

Then He Yunqi turned around and looked at the thin man seriously, still with the most common gentlemanly appearance, "Since this brother said that I am greedy for wealth and honor, please show me the evidence."

"Isn't your husband the evidence?" The thin man raised his chin and said, "You claim to be a scholarly family. If you are not greedy for wealth and honor, why do you want to marry the boy of the Zhou family?"

Yu Zhou had guessed before that it was probably related to this matter. He felt speechless and even wanted to laugh, but he didn't expect that this person would say it directly in front of everyone.

However, apparently not many people thought it was okay like him. After hearing this, a scholar nearby asked quietly, "But... the Zhou family?"

After getting the affirmative nod from the thin man, many people looked at He Yunqi with a different look. After all, in today's society, the status of a man is lower than that of a woman. With the status of the He family, it is not difficult to marry a woman of equal status, but He Yunqi chose to marry a man, and a member of the Zhou family, which is famous for its wealth in the entire city.

This cannot help but make people think differently.

He Yunqi's expression did not change at all, and he even chuckled. "Then I would like to ask you a question. With my status, if I am not greedy for wealth as you said, what kind of boy or girl should I marry?"
