Then, Feng Ziying and the others turned pale and hurriedly waved their hands, indicating that they couldn't learn it.

What a joke! They're at an age where they love to play and are enthusiastic about all sorts of fun. How could they possibly calm down and immerse themselves in the state of Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, exercising their bodies in all aspects while walking, sitting, and lying down? They simply don't have the confidence to learn it.

"As expected, Huan-ge'er's success is no fluke!"

Feng Ziying sighed repeatedly, and the way she looked at Jia Huan changed.

The security of the capital city did not deteriorate due to the influx of a large number of martial arts candidates.

After all, they are all prominent figures, and all prospective officials. No one would risk their future; they are not mindless scoundrels.

Jia Huan discovered something very interesting!

Those who actively visit the martial arts school are generally not disciples of major sects with complete martial arts lineages.

Lay disciples of Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei seemed unaware of his existence.

The other martial arts graduates were not so polite; anyone with even a little bit of thick skin would not miss the opportunity to befriend Jia Huan.

This is normal!

The news had spread throughout the capital that all the military candidates who came to the capital for the imperial examinations this year, regardless of whether they passed the exams or not, would eventually join the army as military officers.

The only difference is the size of the official position and the level of the rank.

Everyone knows why this is the case!

Who knows, it might not be long before I'm transferred to the frontier to fight, which would be quite dangerous.

Putting aside the reputations of the Ning and Rong mansions, Jia Cong's reputation alone is enough for many people and forces to think highly of him.

If Jia Huan had passed the imperial examination, he might have thrived in the army.

At that time, these newly promoted military scholars and military graduates will likely serve under Jia Huan.

It's perfectly normal to get to know someone beforehand and build a good relationship!

As for those martial arts graduates with strong backing, they naturally don't need to do that.

Jia Huan naturally didn't take these things too seriously.

When a martial arts graduate came to make friends, he treated him warmly, and that was about it.

As for forming groups for mutual support or making private promises, that's simply impossible.

Of course, he also made things convenient for these martial arts candidates who took the initiative to come to his door.

The training grounds at the manor outside the city were opened, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the exam content and get into top condition in the final days before the martial arts examination.

Time flies, and it's already the end of April.

This was an auspicious day, with clear skies and bright sunshine—a truly wonderful day.

Jia Huan got up very early and, after completing his unwavering training, went directly to the brightly lit Wei family home while the sky was still just beginning to lighten.

"Brother Huan, you're late!"

Feng Ziying was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, and his face was clearly carefully made up, making him look heroic and extraordinary.

"We didn't miss the time, so why did we come so early?"

Jia Huan rolled his eyes and said with a laugh, "Besides, today is Brother Wei's wedding, we're just here to help out. Don't try to steal the spotlight!"

"how can that be possible?"

Feng Ziying chuckled and said, "With Brother Wei's looks, even if I had a crush on him, I couldn't compete!"

"You're quite self-aware, aren't you!"

Jia Huan laughed heartily, pointed to the main courtyard of the Wei residence, and asked, "How are the preparations going here?"

Just kidding, Wei Ruolan's appearance is renowned as top-tier among the young masters of the capital; he is an absolute heartthrob.

Feng Ziying was also considered handsome, but the difference was still quite obvious.

"almost!"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"Forget it, today is just the day for delivering the betrothal gifts!"

Jia Huan waved his hand and laughed, "I still need to go and take a look at the Marquis of Baoling's residence!"

"Almost forgot!"

Feng Ziying slapped his forehead and laughed, "Brother Huan and the eldest daughter of the Shi family are also relatives!"

That's right, today is the day before Wei Ruolan and Shi Xiangyun get married.

According to custom, the Wei family will send betrothal gifts today, and the Shi family will send dowry.

Today is a pivotal moment for Wei Ruolan and Shi Xiangyun to demonstrate their respective positions within their families.

The people of the capital city love to compare themselves to others, so the Wei family and the Marquis of Baoling's family dared not be careless at all.

This concerns the family's reputation, so it's no joke!

Sometimes, family reputation is more important than life itself!

Jia Huan arrived early because he was invited by Wei Ruolan. He was going with the people delivering the betrothal gifts to make a grand entrance.

At the same time, it's also to show the Marquis of Baoling's mansion how much the Wei family values ​​this marriage!

Jia Huan readily agreed, and arrived early in the morning.

However, he was also a relative of the Marquis of Baoling's family, making him a very suitable person to act as a private liaison between the two sides.

If anything unexpected happens, being prepared in advance will make it easier to deal with.

At this time, Wei Ruolan was unable to leave, and Jia Huan had no intention of entering to disturb her. He simply asked Feng Ziying to pass on a message before he hurriedly went to the Marquis of Baoling's residence.

The Marquis of Baoling's residence was also brightly lit, with a festive atmosphere permeating the entire mansion.

Several of the younger generation of the Rong family, such as Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan, arrived early.

As for the old lady and Madam Wang, they would come over when the Wei family was about to send the betrothal gifts.

Of course, this also reveals the rather delicate relationship between the Marquis of Baoling's residence and the Rong residence.

The old lady, in particular, always talked about how much she valued Shi Xiangyun. But when it came time for Shi Xiangyun to get married, she put on the airs of a duchess, which was quite interesting.

"Huan-ge'er is here!"

The members of the Marquis of Baoling's residence were very hospitable. Upon seeing him arrive, they hurriedly invited him into the residence.

We arrived at the small courtyard where Shi Xiangyun lived. It was filled with countless boxes and trunks, leaving only a small path in the middle.

A quick glance around revealed that the number of chests and cages in the yard probably exceeded fifty!

He nodded to himself. The Marquis of Baoling was quite good. At least he didn't mistreat his own niece, Shi Xiangyun. Otherwise, how could his dowry be so rich?

Don't doubt what tricks the Marquis of Baoling's family might play. If they dare to play tricks in this area, they will lose even more, and they can forget about gaining Jia Huan's trust in the future.

Is everything ready here?

Jia Huan kept asking questions, while also informing the Wei family that everything was going smoothly and they would arrive at the appointed time.

"Already prepared!"

His elder sister, Tan Chun, answered him with a smile, "A full sixty-three loads of dowry, that's more than enough to be respectable and impressive!"

When she said this, her tone was full of envy, and her eyes revealed the same emotion.

"Sixty-three loads of dowry, that can barely be considered a ten-mile-long dowry!"

Jia Huan smiled gently: "My uncles are really kind. They just hope that after my cousin marries into the Wei family, she can live her life of wealth and luxury in peace!"

"What do you mean?"

Tan Chun seemed to sense something was amiss and said irritably, "On such a joyous day, don't spoil the mood!"

Jia Huan nodded to indicate that he understood, but naturally did not reveal his thoughts.

Wei Ruolan and Jia Baoyu were friends and often went out for drinks and gatherings.

I just hope that Jia Baoyu can behave himself and not mention Shi Xiangyun's affairs too much, otherwise Wei Ruolan will not agree, and he doesn't know the situation inside the Rong Mansion.

After taking a look around the Marquis of Baoling's residence and discussing it with the Marquis of Baoling's wife, Jia Huan returned to the Wei residence.

Next came the joyous scene of the Wei family presenting betrothal gifts and the Marquis of Baoling's mansion delivering the dowry.

Along the way, crowds of onlookers lined both sides of the street, their eyes filled with envy, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement, which was quite exhilarating.

When it came time to send out the dowry, it was truly a ten-mile-long procession of red bridal procession!

The entire western city was shaken, and all the onlookers were stunned by the extravagant gesture of the Marquis of Baoling's mansion.

That was a magnificent wedding procession stretching for miles!

This means that the dowry chests alone stretched for miles!

It has been three years since the last time a powerful and wealthy family's daughter was married off, with a grand spectacle of a ten-mile-long red bridal procession.

Not every powerful family is willing to spend so much on their eldest daughter.
