Xiao's father was a fourth-rank prefect. He has been an official for many years and has a wide connection with Xiao's mother and wife. He has only one son and one daughter. There are many men who want to marry Xiao Yu.

With conditions like Wang Jin, a mere poor scholar will catch a lot of people.

If Xiao Yu remarries, it will be easy to marry a young juren.

So Wang Jin knew that the condition of Xiao Yu remarrying the partner that Yuan Jia said was more than his.

The more popular Xiao Yu is, the less willing Wang Jin is to let go.

He also wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but Yuan Jia gave an ultimatum: "No need to say too much, my father and I have already made up our minds about this matter. When you proposed marriage, you promised to treat Yu'er well, and she was the only one in your life. As a result, you had a confidante before you got married. If this confidante was a fox demon and had made the matter big, I was afraid that I would have wanted to keep it from us all the time."

Wang Jin was speechless and guilty, but even so, he still didn't want to give up.

Yuan Jia didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he forced him to sign and write a letter of separation and marriage that had been prepared.

Seeing that things were not done, Wang Jin was smart and said with a lonely face: "I admire my cousin, but I don't want to make a mistake by being confused by the fox demon and missed a good relationship with my cousin. Now I can only wish my cousin... to find a good person again..." He returned the marriage letter and token to Yuan Jia with tears in his eyes, looking sad that he was trapped by love.

Yuan Jia just thought he was performing and returned to Xiao’s house after getting what he wanted.

He told Xiao’s father, Xiao’s mother and Xiao Yu the good news.

Xiao Yu said with a loss: "I thought I was looking for a good marriage, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

Xiao's mother comforted: "It's all my mother who misread Wang Jin. Don't worry Yu'er, parents will definitely find another good person and husband for you."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, mom, I'm not worried." She hugged Xiao's mother's hand and said with a smile, "In this way, I can stay by my mother's side for two more years, and our family can continue to be together."

Xiao's father also smiled and said, "That's not possible. Yuan Jia is about to go to the capital to participate in the conference test. You girl must go to the capital with your elder brother."

Xiao Yu had heard Yuan Jia talk about this long ago, and was not disgusted, saying, "It just so happened that I could meet Sister Huo Rong."

Huo Rong is the fiancée who has been married to Xiao Yuanjia.

Before Yuanjia traveled over, the Xiao family and the Huo family decided to have their two children's marriage.

Xiao Yuanjia is more than two years older than Huo Rong. The Huo family hopes to keep their daughter until she is eighteen and get married, so Xiao Yuanjia has not yet married until she is twenty years old.

This is why Xiao Yu, the sister, got married before her brother.

Because the imperial examination was about to be held, the Xiao family quickly packed up all the things that Yuan Jia needed to prepare to go to the capital, and sent a servant guard to accompany him.

A few days before departure, Li Guanzhu, who went to chase Hu Xue, finally returned.

Li Guanzhu said to Xiao’s father: “My Lord Xiao, I have no choice but to fail to catch the cunning fox monster. The fox monster is cunning and good at changing ways. He has escaped from my eyes many times, and seems to have escaped from Linzhou. I have failed to find anything, so I have to give up.”

Xiao's father was not disappointed or angry, and comforted him: "This is not the fault of Master Li Guan, but the fox demon is too cunning."

Yuan Jia had long sensed that the breath he left on Hu Xue's body through the Grey Squirrel was getting farther and farther away, and he could hardly sense it. Obviously Hu Xue had indeed run away.

He was not too surprised. Hu Xue is the heroine of this world, and even Wang Jin is not as important as her.

Because the original plot of this world is described in the female protagonist's perspective, the male protagonist is far less important than the female protagonist, or the man who is fallen in love with by Hu Xue is the male protagonist. If Hu Xue does not love Wang Jin, then Wang Jin will not be able to become the male protagonist.

As the heroine, how could Hu Xue be caught by Master Li so easily?

＜＜＜＜＜＜

When Li Guanzhu heard that Yuan Jia was going to take the imperial examination in Beijing, he wanted to accompany Yuan Jia.

However, Yuan Jia persuaded him: "Master, this fox demon is a vicious and cunning person. He will inevitably kill and shoot him again after learning that his master has left Linzhou, and may even take revenge on the Xiao family and Wang family. He will also have to trouble you, Master, to stay in the Xiao family, and avoid the worries of his disciples."

Li Guanzhu was worried about his safety: "But the journey to the capital is long. If the fox demon comes to you..."

Yuan Jia smiled slightly and said, "Master, don't worry, my disciple has already learned the skills and is now a cultivator who refines essence and turns into qi. The fox demon was first seriously injured by the amulet of the master, and then fought with the master. The injury will inevitably worsen. Even if I meet the fox demon, I can protect myself."

"What? Have you started?" Li Guanzhu was extremely shocked and reached out to find that Yuan Jia did have spiritual power in his body. He was shocked and happy, "I think he is a genius, a genius!"

Master Li Guan looked at Yuan Jia's expression very gentle and kind, and even his tone softened: "Okay, Yuan Jia, your talent in practice is beyond the expectations of being a teacher. Now that you have already started, you can take the magical instruments and talismans of your master, which is enough to protect yourself."

Master Li Guanzhu did not insist on escorting Yuan Jia to Beijing. He gave him all the treasures that Yuan Jia could use, and sincerely reminded him: "Be careful on the road, don't rely on your own practice to provoke monsters and evil spirits, and protect yourself."

Yuan Jia was very moved, but he only accepted some of the things suitable for cultivators to refine essence and transform into qi, and returned the remaining treasures that Master Li Guan could use.

"Thank you for your concern, and I will keep it in mind."

Yuanjia and Xiao Yu formed a convoy to set off from Linzhou to Beijing. The journey was not close, but fortunately, there were many official roads along the way and rarely slept in the wild. They usually settled in the city, so there would be no danger.

Nowadays, the practice of cultivation has declined, but there are few monsters and evil spirits, because the reduction of spiritual energy is not aimed at a certain race, but the reduction of spiritual energy in the entire world has been reduced, and no one can escape.

However, monsters have a long lifespan and can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to practice, which is a greater advantage than human cultivators. However, human cultivators are by no means ordinary people. Real monsters dare not jump around in the world to avoid provoking the real strong man of humanity.

Yuan Jia and his group had encountered evil spirits like little ghosts along the way. However, except for a few women, most of them were strong and strong, strong and strong qi and blood, and there were not many little ghosts who were good at getting close to them, for fear of being scattered by the blood.

After entering Beijing, they returned to the Xiao family's mansion in the capital.

When Xiao's father was an official in the capital, he naturally had to buy a mansion in the capital. However, he later went to Linzhou to be the prefect and settled in Linzhou again.

There were servants staying here to guard and clean the Xiao Mansion in the capital, so when Yuan Jia and his friends came to Xiao Mansion, everything was as they did when they left the capital, and there was no change.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Shortly after Yuan Jia and Xiao Yugang came back, they received a post from the Huo family, inviting them to come to the banquet.

The Huo family is also relatively ordinary in the capital. Huo's father is only a fourth-rank official, which is one level lower than Xiao's official position. However, he is a Beijing official and is still stronger than Xiao's local official.

The Huo family and the Xiao family are truly a match. Huo father and Xiao father were also Jinshi who passed the exam in the same year, and their family backgrounds were similar, so they naturally went into the same circle and made friends as close friends, even children and in-laws.

The Huo family took the initiative to send a post as soon as possible, and Yuan Jia and Xiao Yu naturally had to go.

The two went to the Huo family to attend a banquet. This was the banquet that the Huo family welcomed them. There were only two brothers and sisters of the Huo family and Yuanjia.

Men and women are separated by a table, with screens in the middle.

Yuan Jia sat on Huo's right hand, and Huo's left hand was his future brother-in-law Huo Cheng and Huo Cheng's youngest son.

Huo's father was a middle-aged man who looked very broad. He touched his beard and asked, "Yuan Jia, how sure are you to try this time?"

Yuan Jia smiled and said, "It's safe to win the list."

Huo's father laughed: "Good boy, young people are terrifying, just be confident." He didn't think Yuan Jia was bragging. After all, the results of the provincial examination were there before, and he ranked fifth in the provincial examination.

Huo Cheng, who was sitting next to him, cast an envious look at Yuanjia.

After Yuan Jia noticed it, he silently changed the topic and stopped talking about the imperial examination.

Because he didn't want to offend his brother-in-law before getting married.

Huo Cheng is four or five years older than Xiao Yuanjia. His son is over six years old now, but he is still a scholar, studying hard for the exam, and failing the exam every time.

Yuan Jia said in front of a person who failed the provincial examination that he would inevitably be nominated on the list of the imperial examination, which is really a bit of a hatred.

The woman also talked about the imperial examination at the table.

Xiao Yu didn't know that Huo Cheng failed the exam many times. In order to give his elder brother a good grade in front of his future sister-in-law, she has been showing off her elder brother's good grades in school and will definitely win this exam. When the exam is on the gold list, the wedding night will be the second of the four major joys in life.

Huo Rong certainly felt happy for her fiancé and for her future husband's bright future.

Huo's mother was mixed with joy and sorrow. While she was happy that her son-in-law's imperial examination was successful, she couldn't help but think of her son who was not successful in the imperial examination.

Huo Cheng's wife simply felt upset, but she had to laugh and echo Xiao Yu's boast, and she was almost vomiting blood in her heart.

After the banquet, Huo's father called Yuanjia and Huo Cheng to the study room and gave the two test questions to them.

Because Yuan Jia took the exam and Huo Cheng had just failed the provincial examination, the difficulty of the two of them was naturally not on the same level.

But when the two finished writing the test questions he gave, Huo's father took them and looked at the strategy and theory written by Yuan Jia first. Every word was written by him, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

After reading Yuan Jia's articles, he looked at his son Huo Cheng, which was almost a tragic comparison. The articles Huo's father thought were still acceptable before, but in the tragic comparison, he only felt unbearable.

Before Huo's father could finish reading it, a fire of namelessness broke out in his heart.

He wanted to jump up and beat his son - look at other people's children, you are four or five years older than others, and your grades are so much worse than others? Do you still have the face?

But considering Huo Cheng's face, Huo's father suppressed his anger, put Huo Cheng's article aside and discussed the article he wrote with Yuan Jia.

Huo Cheng, who was ignored by his own father, felt trembling in his heart, sweating in his palms and nervous.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Huo's father couldn't find any fault in Yuan Jia's homework. After the two discussed the examiner's literary preferences for a while, he let Yuan Jia leave.

Huo Cheng, who was left behind, swallowed nervously. Huo's father looked at him calmly, and then took out two articles, "You should first look at the article written by Yuan Jia, then look at what you wrote yourself. After reading it, you should know the gap between you."

Huo's father was not angry, but Huo Cheng felt even more uneasy. He picked up two articles and read them one by one.

After reading Yuanjia’s articles, he no longer has to read his own articles, or he does not want to read his own articles anymore.

Because the naked contrast was like a slap on his face, making his face red.

There is no need to give detailed examples and comparisons. You only need to read two articles once, and you don’t even need the viewer to have a good cultural literacy. As long as you know literacy, you can see the vast difference between the two articles.

It's like delicious food and dry overnight steamed buns.

Huo Cheng lowered his head in frustration: "Dad..."

The anger in Huo's father's heart had long dissipated. He sighed deeply and said, "There is a rare literary talent in the world like Yuanjia, and you don't have to compare with him. But at least you have to pass the imperial examination so that your father can find an official for you."

Huo Cheng lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. It was not that he didn't want to pass the imperial examination, but it was really too difficult. He really failed the exam. After the second time he passed, he was so panicked that he couldn't hold the pen when he entered the number room.

When Huo's father was providing psychological counseling for Huo Cheng, Yuan Jia went to meet his fiancée Huo Rong under Huo's deliberate help from Huo's mother.

Huo Rong is a lively and bright girl. Her eyes are full of light when she looks at people. You can tell that she is a girl who is pampering, but she is not arrogant and domineering, but she is very gentle and considerate.

Yuan Jia was naturally satisfied when he saw Huo Rong and Xiao Yu get along very well, just like his own sisters.
