Two days later, the prince's teacher announced it, Grand Secretary Wu. In fact, Grand Secretary Wu was confused. He thought he was the last person to be chosen because he was too honest.
Zhou Shuren no longer had to enjoy the scrutiny; instead, there was some sympathy in the looks.
Zhou Shuren spit in his heart, he didn't want to be the prince's teacher!
After a morning court session, Li Zhao came forward and said, "It really isn't you."
Zhou Shuren glanced at him and said, "I already said it wouldn't be me."
At this time, he completely forgot the uneasiness in his heart in the past few days, and was deeply afraid that the royal family would regret it!
Li Zhao is also an old fox among old foxes. He believed that it would be Zhou Shuren, so he could imagine what would happen to other people. The result was so unexpected that he just laughed dryly and was about to speak.
Academician Ding sneered and interrupted, "What a pity!"
Zhou Shuren retorted, "At least I can feel regretful, but you don't even have a chance. You can only watch with envy. Tsk tsk, your saliva is flowing out."
Academician Ding's face turned pale. Zhou Shuren snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Li Zhao looked at Grand Secretary Ding with a half-smile, and continued Zhou Shuren's words, "It is important for a person to know himself. Grand Secretary Ding may be sour, but he knows himself well!"
Zhou Shuren held back his laughter and nodded in agreement.
When Zhou Shuren and his companions were almost at the palace gate, they saw the King of Qin holding the King of Qi's sleeve and not letting go. Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows. When he walked in, he heard the King of Qin say, "Second brother, don't leave. I'm really too busy. Please help me."
The King of Qi knew that there would be no good news at the morning court today, "This King is really busy."
Rongchuan, "Busy watching a play? Busy writing a story? Or..."
The King of Qi covered Lao Wu's mouth. Bah, he was not busy with these things. He was busy repairing the garden for the princess and writing stories. Those were blocked by his mother and could not be known to others. "What do you want me to help you with?"
Rong Chuan motioned his second brother to take his hand away, and then said, "It's actually quite simple. Let's go, let's talk while we walk."
After listening to this, Zhou Shuren sympathized with King Qi for two seconds, but then he fell into a pit and it became difficult to get out.
In Pingzhou, the Tongsheng examination has ended and the results were released yesterday. Mingyun is going to attend a banquet at the prefect's house today, so he packed everything early in the morning and was just waiting for Jiang Du to get ready.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Du walked out the door saying, "The prefect is inviting my cousin to the banquet. It would be bad if he dragged me along."
Mingyun: "I think it's good."
Jiang Du yawned. He was still sleepy. "Then I'll take a nap."
The carriage was not moving fast. When they arrived, it was already half an hour later. Mingyun and Jiang Du got off the carriage, and the eldest son of the prefectural family came to greet them, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Jiang."
Mingyun and Jiang Du returned the gift and let the prefect's son lead the way.
The prefectural government did not invite other candidates today. Those who came were all children of officials in Pingzhou City, and Mingyun became the most conspicuous person.
In the eyes of these officials' sons, Mingyun is not only the winner of the Little Three Prizes, but also their connection and the handrail that they can use to build their ladder to heaven in the future.
It would be even better if we could get in touch with the Zhou family.
So when Mingyun came to Jiang Du, the grandson of the Zhou family, he was immediately pushed aside. Jiang Du fanned himself twice with a fan. He could not help his cousin, so he just found a place to sit down.
The second issue of the court's propaganda did not include my father's article, so not many people paid attention to him. Compared with the eldest grandson, the cousin naturally attracted more attention.
Jiang Du drinking tea, it’s so realistic!
The magistrate's front yard was bustling, and the back yard was also very lively. Today, not only the sons of officials were invited, but also the female relatives, and they were all girls of marriageable age.
Zhou Mingyun, the third young master, is still the focus of discussion among the girls.
The prefect's daughter said, "Don't worry about it. She has already been engaged. She is the niece of Concubine Ran in the palace."
The prefect's daughter looked down on the ladies who spoke the most. There were more beauties in the capital, but they were just ambitious but not smart.
In the capital, at Zhou's house, Li was muttering, "Yesterday was the day the results were announced, and I don't know if I'll be the top candidate."
Zhulan was helpless too, as communication was extremely inconvenient in ancient times. Even though she knew the results would be released on that day, she still had to wait for several days.
Zhao comforted her sister-in-law, "Mingyun will be fine. Sister-in-law, you must have confidence in Mingyun."
Li just couldn't calm down. She had been upset since yesterday. "There are many people in our family who participated in the imperial examination, but the mood is different."
She had been nervous before, but never like this.
Su Xuan could relate to what Li said, and the feeling was indeed different.
Zhulan said to Li: "If you can't stay here, just go to the new house and take a look around."
Li wanted to go a little bit, but she never saw the whole new house every time she went there. She looked at Zhao and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to come with us?"
Zhao shook her head. "I won't go. I have an appointment with Hu to go to the jewelry store today."
Li looked at the fourth brother's wife again, and Su Xuan also shook her head, "The manager is coming to deliver the account book today."
When Li heard this, she didn't want to go anymore, "Then I won't go either."
Zhulan's mind has turned to Mrs. Hu. In the past few years, Mrs. Hu has managed the family business well and has saved some money. For the sake of her son's dignity, Mrs. Hu is also willing to spend some money on herself.
However, the mother and daughter of the Hu family were able to live such a good life, and both the Gu family and the Hu family helped a lot.
Zhulan asked Zhao, "Didn't Hu mention Yushuang?"
Zhao said, "Mom, if we don't mention it, Hu won't mention it either."
Is Mrs. Hu anxious about her son's marriage? Of course she is, but Mrs. Hu also knows what her mother and daughter rely on, so she won't say too much even if she is anxious.
Zhu Lan nodded, "Tell her something today, don't make her worry about guessing, just give her a deadline."
Zhao nodded, "Okay."
Li thought of her own daughter. She didn't have much contact with her future son-in-law. They had only met briefly during the New Year's greetings, and had never been alone together. Her daughter's future mother-in-law was a lady from a wealthy family. Li sighed in her heart, thinking that she really couldn't get along with her.
Two days later, on an auspicious day chosen by Rong Yuyun, Rong Yuyun moved into the new house first. Ming Teng, being the young master, also moved in this time and stayed there until the Zhou family moved into their new home.
The Zhou family had also started preparations, waiting to move after the spring plowing, which was much later than Rong Yuyun's auspicious day.
In Pingzhou, Jiang Du laughed and teased, "Was yesterday's beauty beautiful?"
Mingyun's face darkened, "Do you like what you said?"
Jiang Dubang waved his hand, saying, "Don't scare him. The Zhao family lost face yesterday." "I'm engaged."
Mingyun glared at Jiang Du, and his face turned pale again when he thought of yesterday. "You can get lost in your own house. Haha, I don't think it's just the girl's own idea."
Jiang Du also became more serious, "Fortunately, grandma told me a lot about the dirty things in the harem, otherwise, you would have to go back with an extra concubine."
Mingyun, "You know the Zhou family rules, but you really think that grandpa can't bear to punish me, the eldest grandson!"
Jiang Du played with the fan and said, "The Zhao family has declined quite a lot in recent years."
