Wang Hua looked a little unnatural, "Why is sister-in-law looking at me like that?"
Yu Lu smiled, "I was looking at my sister's appearance. After a careful look today, I found that my sister is also a rare beauty."
The awkwardness on Wang Hua's face disappeared, and he smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, do you really think so?"
"Um."
Wang Hua's eyes lit up and she pursed her lips. Her father was not the eldest son, so the future of the Wang family belonged to the eldest branch. Her father's official position was not as high as her uncle's, so the future of the Wang family belonged to her uncle. Her grandfather devoted all his efforts to training her uncle, while her father only had an idle position.
How could she be worthy of the Fourth Master Wen with her status? It would be better if she was the legitimate granddaughter of the eldest wife. The Wang family has been a noble family for many years and the Wen family can be considered a good match.
Yu Lu didn't know what Wang Hua was thinking. She wanted to tell her grandmother about Wang Hua's thoughts later.
The Wang family has few children and girls are precious, which means that the girls of the Wang family will not get engaged early. At present, it seems better to get engaged in advance. The Wen family is really not a good match for marriage.
The next day, the Spring Examination was over, and Changyi took a break just to pick up his son-in-law and bring him home. The weather was still cold, and Yushuang had to take care of the children, so she didn't go.
Liu Feng and Wang Wei came out together. Liu Feng looked left and right, rubbed his eyes uncertainly, and confirmed that he was not mistaken. He said to Wang Wei: "My father-in-law is here to pick me up. I'll go back first."
Wang Wei was surprised. He looked and realized that it was really his second uncle. "Okay."
Wang Wei didn't need his father-in-law to pick him up. His father was out of town, so his grandfather came in person. He walked over quickly, saying excitedly, "Grandpa."
Wang Ju was relieved to see that her grandson was in good spirits. "Let's go home. I heard from your grandmother that your wife personally made soup for you. You should go back and have some nourishment."
Wang Wei licked his lips. He was indeed greedy. He had eaten too perfunctorily during the Spring Examination. "Okay."
Wang Ju thought for a moment and said, "Your wife is pregnant, and the weather has been cold these days. Your grandmother stopped her from going out, fearing that she would catch a cold and get sick."
Wang Wei was helpless, "Is your grandson such a stingy person? I should be worried when my wife comes."
Wang Ju said cheerfully, "As expected of my grandson, he is so generous. Let's go home."
Wang Wei rubbed the back of his head. His grandfather had slapped him with quite a bit of force.
In the Zhou family carriage, Chang Yi was very worried because he didn't see his son-in-law. After seeing his son-in-law, he said in a stern tone, "Yu Shuang is still worried that you are not eating well or resting well. I think you are worried for nothing. You are full of energy!"
Liu Feng was already used to his father-in-law's awkward concern, and with a smile on his face, he said, "This is all thanks to what my father-in-law prepared for me."
Chang Yi was embarrassed, "That was prepared by Yu Shuang."
Liu Feng didn't believe it. His wife had prepared everything for him last year. He checked it no less than three times. He knew best whether everything had changed as the examination room was approaching. Just as he was about to speak, he choked and coughed a few times.
Chang Yi hurriedly took the cup and poured some water, "Drink a few sips of water to calm down."
Then he said to the driver, "Take a detour to the clinic."
Liu Feng wanted to say that he just choked, but he swallowed his words when he saw his father-in-law was nervous. It was really good to feel cared for. His father-in-law came to pick him up, which was the most touching thing for him. He was a fatherless person without fatherly love, so naturally he hoped that his father would be there at the critical moment of his life. Now he has no regrets.
Chang Yi felt uncomfortable being looked at by his son-in-law's affectionate eyes, "What are you looking at? Drink more water."
Liu Feng held the teacup with a smile, "I'll listen to Dad."
At the Zhou family, Zhao said to her mother-in-law, "My husband is picky about his son-in-law, but he really cares more than anyone else when something happens. I haven't even gone to accompany Yu Shuang yet, and he has already asked for leave in advance."
Zhulan, "Changyi likes Liufeng very much."
"He refused to admit it, and he acted like a father-in-law every day, finding fault with everything. Now he's rushing to pick someone up."
"This is a matter between the father-in-law and the son-in-law."
Zhao couldn't help laughing as she spoke.
Zhao looked at her daughter playing in the yard. Even though she had received confirmation from her parents that there would be no marriage, she still expressed her plan, "Mom, if Yudie finds a suitable family, it would be good to get engaged in advance."
When Zhulan heard this, she asked, "Did anyone mention it to you?"
Zhao shook her head. "After the New Year, I met Mr. Cheng's wife. Mr. Cheng has two sons, both of whom are legitimate. The eldest son is married, and the second son is two years older than Yudie. I asked someone to find out about him. He is a good young man."
Zhulan saw Zhao's satisfied expression and asked, "What did Changyi say?"
"My husband also thinks it's good. Let me tell you about it."
Zhulan touched the bracelet on her wrist and said, "Getting married is not only about having a good child, but also about a good marriage. There are a lot of rumors now. Wait for me to find out about Cheng's family, and then you can try to find out."
As more and more memorials were submitted, more and more of them favored marriage, and more rumors spread. The emperor did not reply, and wanted to get engaged to the girls from the families mentioned, which was a test of their sincerity.
At Yu Shuang's house, Yu Shuang pulled her father and said, "Dad, wait until you finish your meal before leaving. I've prepared everything."
Chang Yi cleared his throat unnaturally. He was overly worried. His son-in-law was fine, but he was about to lose his father-in-law's airs. "Your mother is still waiting for me to come back. Okay, we can eat anytime. You should also go to bed early."
Having said that, Chang Yi ran away while his son-in-law was changing his clothes.
Liu Feng deliberately delayed coming out, and his father-in-law felt embarrassed. He saw that his father-in-law's ears were red. He came out and knew that his father-in-law was gone. He hugged his son and kissed him, "Son, do you miss your daddy?"
The little guy looked at his father carefully, then moved closer to smell it, and no one knew what he smelled, so he shouted "Oh!"
Yu Shuang said gently: "This means you recognize your father."
Liu Feng felt very happy and kissed his son, "Let's go and have dinner."
At the Wang family, as soon as Wang Wei arrived home, he accepted the care of the whole family. If they saw that he was not too tired, they would not want to let him go.
It was an hour after Wang Wei got home that he drank his wife's soup. He changed his clothes and lay on the small kang, enjoying the feeling of his wife feeding him soup. "I am finally alive."
Yu Lu put down the bowl in her hand and said, "Take good care of yourself at home these few days."
Wang Wei raised his hand and touched his wife's bulging belly. "Thank you for your hard work these days. Is this child naughty?"
Yu Lu pointed to her belly and said, "She's very naughty. She moves every now and then since she learned to move."
She thought she would become a mother a few years later, but she became a mother as soon as she got married. As the child grew in her belly day by day, she deeply realized how difficult it is to be a mother.
Wang Wei climbed up and put his ear on his wife's belly. He couldn't help but put his hands around his wife's waist, "Aren't you going to ask me how I did on the exam?"
