Zhou Shuren stared at the fishing rod. "That's because you have a bad memory. This is not good. How old are you and your memory is declining? You need to pay more attention to rest."
Wang Ju said with a snort, "I'm in good health. Anyway, this guy is not young anymore. Is he engaged?"
Zhou Shuren turned his head and said, "I noticed that you seem to like matchmaking very much."
Wang Ju was indeed tempted. There were many unmarried women in the Wang clan. "I am just worrying about it for you."
Zhou Shuren glanced at Wang Ju and said, "Don't think about it. We're already engaged."
Wang Ju thought to himself what a pity, then the fishing rod moved, he pulled it up and looked at it, grinning, "I caught the first one, this fish is not small."
Zhou Shuren stared at his fishing rod without moving. He snorted and waited for Wang Ju to finish boasting before asking, "Did Mr. Wang tell you where you were going?"
Wang Ju pulled out a blade of grass and said, "The Ministry of Rites is good."
Now that the Tao family has been cleared out of the Ministry of Rites, it is his chance to leave. In his father's words, as long as he is capable enough, the Ministry of Rites is the best stepping stone. To be honest, he also has to thank his eldest brother-in-law for committing suicide, otherwise, he really would not be able to enter the Ministry of Rites.
Zhou Shuren nodded. This was similar to what he guessed. Wang Ju would need to spend many years in the Ministry of Rites, but Wu Ming would not stay in the Ministry for long. Thinking of Wu Ming, Zhou Shuren's thoughts drifted away.
Wang Ju looked at the fence by the lake. "The fence by the lake is as tall as me. Why is it built so high?"
He was half a head taller than Zhou Shuren, and it was the first time he had seen such a high fence.
Zhou Shuren came back to his senses, "My wife said that the lakeside and the rockery are the places in the backyard where accidents are most likely to happen. In order to avoid accidents during the banquet, it is better to cut off the source directly. You see, it is difficult to fall into the lake from such a high place."
The corners of Wang Ju's mouth twitched, and she thought of Mr. Zhou Si, who had also fallen into the lake.
Zhou Shuren continued, "Look at the material of the fence. I use the strongest material. It will definitely not fall down."
Wang Ju choked on her tea and asked, "How afraid are you that someone will fall into the lake?"
Zhou Shuren looked at him with disdain, "I don't believe your family isn't afraid?"
Wang Ju choked. Well, he was afraid too. This kind of thing had happened before at a banquet at the Wang family. It had nothing to do with the Wang family, but because it happened at the Wang family, the Wang family also got into trouble.
Wang Ju looked at the tall fence and thought that the Wang family could also build it so high!
In the garden, Yu Shuang was coughing, and Yu Lu was helpless, "Sister, if your throat is uncomfortable, how about asking a doctor to take a look?"
Yu Shuang glared, "Who am I doing this for? You said you were hiding here, but Wang Wei looked over here several times. If you really don't want to see him, why should we go back to the yard? Why are we staying here in the sun?"
Yu Lu clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, "Sister, keep your voice down, keep your voice down."
Yu Shuang snorted, "I know what's going on. Don't worry, they can't hear me."
Yu Lu lowered her head and continued to pluck the petals, "I'm sorry."
Yesterday, grandma said that Wang Wei would come, and it was grandpa who named him. She knew that Wang Wei came for her, so she felt even more embarrassed.
Yu Shuang has experience in getting along with Gu Liufeng. Although she would be cautious, she also talked openly, "Why are you embarrassed? This is not a one-on-one conversation. There are maids and women around, and us too!"
Yu Lu's ears turned red. Even though she knew everything, she was really nervous about Wang Wei.
Yu Shuang regretted, "If I had known I wouldn't have fooled Yu Die."
She was afraid that Yudie would say something wrong, so she tricked her sister into playing in the house and promised her many benefits. In the end, Yudie made a fuss!
Yu Lu raised her head, then her eyes widened, and her ears and neck turned red.
Yu Shuang was stunned, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Lu didn’t know how long her elder brother and the others had been there, but she must have heard something, otherwise her elder brother wouldn’t have looked so helpless.
Mingyun coughed, and Yushuang was startled. She turned around and saw that the people who were in the pavilion just now were now in the garden. She said dryly, "Brother, Master Meng, Master Wang."
Wang Wei's face was also red. He really overheard it accidentally and couldn't help looking at Yu Lu who was dressed in pink. The Zhou family's garden was very beautiful with a riot of colour. Wang Wei felt that he didn't like Yu Lu as much as she did, and his face became even redder.
Yu Shuang wanted to go back to the yard, but she looked at her sister and couldn't leave. She secretly pulled Yu Lu's clothes, and Yu Lu came back to her senses and hurriedly greeted her.
Mingyun was upset. This was his biological sister. If his grandfather hadn't told him to do so, he really wouldn't have brought Wang Wei here. Who knew the timing was so bad? The two little girls happened to be talking, but luckily they didn't talk about anything out of line. He coughed and said, "I heard from mother that you were going to make flower cakes, so I came to see how many petals you picked."
The heat on Yu Lu's face had dissipated. "I picked quite a lot. I'll cook them later. Brother, have a few more."
Mingyun nodded, "Okay."
My sister is a good cook. Although not as good as my mother, she is still a rare talent.
Yu Lu pulled her sister and said, "Let's go back first and send some over later."
Wang Wei secretly felt regretful that he hadn't even said a word yet!
In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian was always thinking about the Du family. During the break, he asked Rong Chuan, "Is your aunt not giving you a hard time?"
Rong Chuan, "I haven't been to the Duke's Mansion these days. My father said to wait until the Du family leaves, so that my aunt won't be upset when she sees me."
Chang Lian was relieved, "That's good."
Rong Chuan, "The Du family got into trouble, and I don't think it was my father who did it."
He has been thinking about this matter these days. It was so neat and it didn't look like his father's work. But when he asked, his father said it was him who did it.
Chang Lian frowned, "Why do you think so?"
Rong Chuan whispered, "Because the Du family is my aunt's family after all, my father would be hesitant if he really took action. This time he arrested Du Luo, it seems like he is going to be ruthless. If it weren't for the death of Mrs. Du, Du Luo would never have been able to get out."
The Du family will not return to their ancestral hometown in its entirety!
Chang Lian thought about it carefully and it was true. Lord Ning had to be concerned about Lord Ning. "Then who do you think it is?"
Rongchuan looked at Changlian but didn't say what was in his mind. His guess was a little absurd because he felt that it was the emperor. The emperor was so good to him. As they got along, he had more and more of the illusion that the emperor was raising him like his son.
Especially in the past six months, the emperor had not seen the princes, but instead summoned him to the palace frequently to chat, drink tea, play chess, and sometimes even teach him.
Chang Lian asked, "Why don't you speak?"
Rong Chuan shook his head. "The person I didn't think of might be Grandpa."
Chang Lian didn't know much about Duke Ning. "It's very likely that the old Duke was the one. Only the Duke wouldn't have so many concerns."
Rongchuan opened his mouth and said, he was wrong. Grandpa was the one who had the most concerns. Second uncle was the future Duke, and aunt was the future Duke's wife. They both represented the Duke's Mansion. Grandpa would only teach them a lesson in secret and would not do it openly.
Zhou family, Zhulan received a letter from the Yang family.
