Jinzhou, Zhou Shuren and Wang Yu arrived later. The scholars who passed the exam this year had already arrived, and the originally lively hall was quiet.
After Zhou Shuren took his seat, he said: "Don't stand, everyone, sit down."
He Shu sat down first, and then the scholars who passed the exam took their seats one by one.
Zhou Shuren looked at the scholars in a daze. A few years ago, he was also one of the participants. Now he was sitting high up on top. Everyone looked at him. Zhou Shuren gave a few official words of encouragement, and then the banquet started.
Mr. Wang couldn't believe it. Mr. Zhou's words were too perfunctory, just a few words. If it were him, it would have been a long speech.
Zhou Shuren's eyes were looking at He Shu. In fact, the corner of his eye had been staring at Shen Yang, a scholar who looked like an emperor. Shen Yang was looking at He Shu unwillingly.
Speaking of which, if there was no He Ji, this person would be a junior student. I would be very unwilling to be ranked second!
Mr. Wang looked proud, "Oh, He Shu is indeed the grandson of the teacher."
Zhou Shuren said lightly, and Mr. Wang retorted, "Old Wang, He Shu's surname is not Wang. I remember that Mr. Wang got eighth in the exam?"
Mr. Wang has a black face. Mr. Wang bullies the weak and fears the strong. He Shu and Miss Wu, why doesn't Mr. Wang bully Mr. Zhou
Zhou Shuren was too lazy to listen to the two people fighting each other around him. He drank a few glasses of wine with the academic and political officials and was about to eat food when someone stood in front of him.
Zhou Shuren looked at Shen Yang who was holding the wine glass. If he looked closely, he didn't look like the emperor. Speaking of which, although some of the emperor's princes didn't look like the emperor, their charms were very similar. Zhou Shuren calmed down. smiled.
Shen Yang was angry in his heart. He felt that He Shu could become the number one because He Shu knew these adults, especially because he had a deep relationship with the Wang family. He was very unwilling but had to please, "Students have always admired the adults. I finally meet my lord today. My lord, I would like to propose a toast to you."
Zhou Shuren saw a trace of resentment in Shen Yang's eyes. It couldn't be that He Shu's grades were decent. He was still young. He Shu's grades were not impressive at all. He smiled lightly and said, "You are the second-placed Shen Yang, right? Second place, let’s keep up the good work in the future.”
Mr. Wang, "......"
Mr. Zhou mentioned the second place twice in one sentence, and he saw Shen Yang's face twisting slightly. Mr. Zhou did it on purpose!
Shen Yang's mouth was a little stiff, "Yes, students must work harder to study when they go back."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said, "Drink it, this is the wine I encourage you to drink."
Shen Yang said with a dull face, "Yes."
They were all eavesdropping with their ears pricked up, just waiting for everyone to come and toast after Shen Yang left. As a result, Mr. Zhou was a little scary. They didn't want Mr. Zhou to talk about the rankings, so they all behaved silently.
Zhou Shuren ate the food with a smile, but his mind was always on Shen Yang. This man was very sociable. After a while, he became familiar with the people around him. It was interesting, interesting.
In the evening, Zhulan asked curiously, "We met today, what do you think?"
Zhou Shuren lay crookedly on the kang, "Shen Yang, he is scheming and calculating, but he is too arrogant. To be honest, I am still a little disappointed."
Despite the fact that the emperor's princes were quarreling with each other, Zhou Shuren was still very positive about them.
Zhulan was disappointed when she heard this, and then asked, "Are there no other actions? For example, to deliberately attract your attention?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No, I just gave a normal toast and didn't come near me when I left."
Shen Yang was probably hit hard because he kept talking about second place.
Zhulan snorted and thought, maybe it really is a coincidence? Of course, it's also possible that this student named Shen Yang doesn't know anything, and it's only true that he doesn't know!
Zhulan changed the topic, "Rong Chuan doesn't know how he did in the exam."
Zhou Shuren pulled his son's little feet and said, "Rongchuan, he will be fine. This kid has a lot of tenacity in his bones. As long as he works hard, he will definitely succeed."
Zhu Lan thought about it, how difficult it is to copy, but Rong Chuan also insisted on learning and succeeded, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
Zhou Shuren is indeed sleepy. He has been busy with some reforms in Jinzhou these days, and he is also very tired. However, the results are good. Now he has to register when entering and leaving the city. Register according to the date, the daily flow of people at each city gate, and where his family lives. I remember them all clearly. Although there was some waste of paper, the flow of people was very clear. Jinzhou, the city closest to the capital, was still strict.
Zhou Shuren curled up his lips. In the past two days, he had caught several human traffickers who stole children. The TV series was not in vain. The carriages leaving the city were inspected more carefully.
Zhulan put the child to sleep, and when she turned around to see Zhou Shuren asleep, Zhulan pulled the quilt to cover Zhou Shuren, and touched Zhou Shuren's eyebrows with her fingertips, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Shuren seemed to hear it, hummed softly, turned over and continued to sleep.
Zhulan curled her lips, blew out the candle and fell asleep.
Two days later, Mr. .
Zhulan felt at ease and said to Wu with a smile: "Are you at ease this time?"
Wu Zhu held the horoscope comment in his hand, and his tense mind relaxed. His eyes were red. He didn't want to cry, but the tears couldn't help falling. He hurriedly wiped the tears, "I am happy, I am really happy."
God knows how worried she was about the bad outcome of the horoscope. She was really scared. She had been having a hard time these past two days.
Zhulan hugged Wu Zhu and said, "Auntie, I know, just cry. It'll be fine if you just cry."
Wu Zhu didn't want to cry, but after listening to his aunt's words, he cried even harder. In the end, he cried until he hiccupped, "I, hiccup, I'm fine."
Zhulan took the handkerchief and wiped Wu Zha's face. Wu Zha's eyes were swollen. The girl felt really depressed, "Now that the horoscopes are together, we just have to wait for the date. Originally, my aunt wanted to keep you longer, but she can't." Ah, so my aunt and your uncle have discussed it, and the wedding date is scheduled for early next year."
She and Zhou Shuren thought a lot about it, and it would be better for He Shu and Wu Zhu to get married as soon as possible.
Wu Zhu blushed, "Auntie, I'm going back first."
Two days later, it was a good day. Mr. Xue and Mr. Wang, as well as He Shu's uncle, arrived. They had made an engagement first and were just waiting to get married early next year.
After seeing off the person, Zhulan felt at ease. Wu Zhu's marriage went smoothly than she expected.
Zhou Shuren drank a lot of wine and pressed his eyebrows, "The date is set. Write a letter to Wu Ming and let him prepare everything he needs to prepare."
Zhulan counted the days, "It's already been five or six days. If we use a fast horse to deliver the letter, Rong Chuan's letter should have arrived."
Zhou Shuren drank tea and said, "There has been a lot of rain these days, so it may have been delayed."
Zhulan saw her son lying on the bed and trying to get off the ground by himself, so she hurriedly walked over to protect him. When the little guy got off the ground by himself, Zhulan squeezed her son's hand and said, "You are getting more and more courageous."
The little guy giggled, "Mom, I'm awesome."
Zhulan tugged at her son's hair and said, "Okay, okay, you are great."
The little guy shook his head, "Mom, don't pull your hair, it hurts."
Zhou Shuren sat aside and said, "You kid still knows it hurts. Look at your dad and my beard. You've almost pulled it."
The little guy quickly ran behind his mother, then revealed his little head, "Daddy's beard is ugly, I won't pull it anymore."
Zhou Shuren is grinding his teeth. This kid is smart. Since he learned how to speak from his parents, he has learned to speak much faster. Especially after the Chinese New Year, this kid can express himself simply. Then he becomes depressed. His son always hurts him. !
