Shangguan Liu naturally knew this, because he and Zhou Mingrui were in similar situations, so he was more curious about Zhou Mingrui. "I've heard a lot about you. Mr. Zhou is indeed handsome."
Ming Rui was speechless, "Mr. Shangguan, you can look at your own appearance. The truly handsome one should be Mr. Shangguan."
What kind of list is this in the capital? The one above him is Young Master Shangguan. Who doesn’t know him? He also has a nice nickname, Young Master Liuli!
The Wang family, after the female official left, the Wang family didn't have to choose. There was only one suitable girl, Wang Yun, the illegitimate daughter of the third room. If Wang Hua was not engaged, the most suitable one would be Wang Hua, the legitimate daughter of the second room. Unfortunately, Wang Hua was engaged, and the pie in the sky fell on Wang Yun's head.
The third house was very excited. Wang Hua would be able to find a good marriage after entering the palace for a few days. If he could get praise from the empress dowager, his future marriage would be even better.
The second wife's face turned ugly. She failed to gain anything and now she has lost all chance to improve her status.
Tao and Yu Lu walked back. Tao returned to her own courtyard and smiled sarcastically, "It's right. Let the second wife do it. Now the third wife is getting the advantage."
Yu Lu also sighed, no one can predict the future, "Grandma, this pie is not easy to catch. My grandma said that if you don't have an iron head, don't try to catch the pie that falls from the sky, otherwise you will be crushed to death. What do you think of Wang Yun's character?"
She really wasn't worried about Wang Yun. She was worried about whether Wang Yun would implicate the Wang family. Her grandmother had told her many times that some girls were more lethal than boys when it came to harming their own families.
Mrs. Tao stopped smiling. "Our Wang family has always been neutral. This time it is indeed abnormal. Logically, our Wang family girl should not be here."
Yu Lu, "The ancestor left Wang Yun behind, so he should punish her."
Tao pressed her brows, "I just hope she doesn't get into trouble. However, Wang Yun is smarter than Wang Hua. She should know that she can only have a good future if she leaves the palace honestly."
If there were many girls in the Wang family, she really would not let Wang Yun go, and would choose someone younger.
Yu Lu's belly was quite big, so she went back to her own yard to rest after sitting for a while. Halfway there, she saw Third Grandma and Wang Yun. The two were walking towards Grandma's yard to withdraw the money they needed to enter the palace.
Yu Lu returned to the yard, and Wang Wei also came back. Yu Lu said, "Look at you, you are sweating."
Wang Wei took the handkerchief from his wife and said, "I have been to several places today and I am a little anxious to come back. Are you tired, my wife?"
"I'm not tired, but you have been busy with clan affairs these days."
Wang Wei, "Rest now and get more involved in the clan's affairs, so you can get started faster in the future."
Yu Lu feels sorry for her husband. There are not many major events in the clan, but mostly trivial matters. A large family means a lot of things to do.
At Zhou's house, Zhulan called Yujiao and personally told her, "Remember what grandma said when you enter the palace. Don't look, don't listen, don't ask, and don't speak. When you enter the palace, you must forget that you have ears, eyes, and a mouth."
Yu Jiao took note seriously, "Granddaughter remembers it."
Zhulan pointed at her granddaughter's heart again, "You should also keep your curiosity at home. Curiosity will kill you quickly in the palace."
Yu Jiao was still young after all, so she shrank her neck and said, "My granddaughter is not curious. I will follow my cousin, the princess."
Zhulan, "The family brought you a lot of silver. You should be more generous to the palace maids who take care of you. The little ghosts are difficult to deal with. There are many little ghosts in the palace. Grandma knows that you are a smart child. You will make good use of the silver you brought into the palace, right?"
Yu Jiao blinked her eyes. She was very good at spending money. "Yes, my granddaughter knows how to reward money."
Zhulan touched Yujiao's little head and said, "Don't be afraid if others bully you. Your grandfather is the Minister of Revenue, and your father will be promoted next year. You have the confidence."
Yu Jiao, "I still have my cousin Lin Xi, she will protect me."
"Yes, you have a cousin who is a princess, and your aunt is the Princess of Qin. You should be tough when necessary."
Yujiao was originally very excited about entering the palace, but after listening to what her grandmother said, the little girl didn't want to enter the palace anymore. Although her elder sister controlled her in every way at home, she was most comfortable when she was not studying.
In Xi County, in order not to highlight the identity of the prince, the four people who went out on the street walked side by side. Mingrui and Shangguan Liu were the best looking, and the prince was not bad either. Wen Xu's appearance did not match the average appearance, and they looked at each other and directly ignored Wen Xu.
Wen Xu was very angry. He thought he was good-looking, but the two people around him were even better looking. He secretly hated himself and decided not to go out with these two people next time.
The prince smiled. The real person was chosen because of his relationship with him. Not only that, but also because of his appearance. Since he looked better than him, he would naturally attract more attention. He could reduce the sense of existence that Minister Zhou mentioned.
As for Wen Xu being hurt, the prince didn't care. If it wasn't for the fact that his mother's family was difficult to abandon, he didn't intend to bring Wen Xu out.
There was some commotion ahead. The prince raised his eyebrows and took a step back, making Mingrui and Shangguan Liu's positions more conspicuous.
Mingrui and the other two noticed it. What could they do? They couldn't hide, so they could only stop the prince.
The crowd in front dispersed, and a teenage girl was pulled by a strong man, shouting for help.
The strong man said fiercely, "Just follow me back obediently, today is the day of engagement."
The girl cried, "You forced my father, you want my family's wealth, I don't want to get engaged."
The onlookers were talking a lot, but unfortunately no one came forward. Don't expect anyone to be kind-hearted.
The girl looked around at everyone and saw Shangguan Liu running towards her desperately, "Master, Master, help me, Master, save me."
Mingrui covered his mouth with a fan and tried to laugh.
Shangguan Liu rolled his eyes in an indecent manner, "Girl, look at me, I can't carry anything, I'm just a weak scholar, I can't beat a strong man, girl, don't hurt me."
Mingrui and the prince were speechless. This man, Master Liuli, had a hard heart.
The girl was stunned. "I, I don't want to harm you, sir. I have no choice. My father is seriously ill and has been forced to live. I can't survive. Please save my life. As long as you save my life, I am willing to be your slave."
Shangguan Liu, "You can't do it, you are too ugly, the maidservants beside me have to be better looking than me, you can't do it."
The tone of his voice was full of disgust, as if the woman in front of him was really ugly!
Mingrui, "..."
Prince, "..."
This is his future uncle, very nice and with a lot of personality!
The people watching the show were all stunned. Is there any reason for this? Well, this young man is indeed handsome.
Shangguan Liu continued, "My father told me that when I encounter difficulties, I should face them head-on instead of losing my nerve. Don't be afraid, young lady. Although you are not good-looking, I do good deeds every day. I have already reported it to the authorities. If someone really forced you, the county magistrate will give you justice."
The prince waved his fan. This was the reason why his second uncle stayed in Xi County. He knew that he had left the capital, but he did not dare to paint his portrait. He could only say that the prince was good-looking, and ended up painting Shangguan Liu.
The prince looked at Zhou Mingrui and Shangguan Liu with sparkling eyes. These two are great!
Mingrui looked left and right but didn't find anything, but he had a bad feeling!
