Chapter 943: Not worthy
Mrs. Zheng was very happy when she heard from her son that Tang Bao had come to Beijing.
"Finally you're here!" Mrs. Zheng said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years. I really miss you so much."
Zheng Yuanzheng chuckled and said, "Mom, sister Fuya has grown up..."
So, we can go and propose marriage.
How could Mrs. Zheng not know what her son was thinking?
What's more, the slightest thought in her heart has never been completely extinguished.
So, after hearing her son's words, she smiled and said, "Where does Fu Ya live now? Is she living in the former Duke of Ying's mansion? Mother will prepare some gifts. When your father is on leave, mother and your father will go visit Fu Ya's parents and find out what the Su family has to say."
The Su family didn't give in before because Fu Ya was young.
Fu Ya is older now, what if she gives in?
After hearing what Madam Zheng said, Zheng Yuanzheng said happily, "Sister Fuya is not living in the Lin Mansion, but in her own Princess Mansion?"
"Princess's Mansion?" Mrs. Zheng was stunned.
"Oh, by the way, mother, you don't know yet, do you? Sister Fuya is now a princess." Zheng Yuanzheng quickly explained, "The emperor specially granted her a princess's residence. It's next to my aunt's house, the small house that used to be there. It's said to be the former Ruiwang Palace..."
Madam Zheng: “…”
Suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore.
My son is just a scholar, how can he be worthy of the princess?
Mrs. Zheng looked at her son's happy face and suddenly felt a little sad.
Why is the gap between my son and Fu Ya getting bigger and bigger?
"What are you talking about?" Following the voice, Lord Zheng walked in.
Over the years, County Magistrate Zheng's official position has been promoted to the fifth rank, and he has become increasingly fat.
"Dad, you're back." Zheng Yuanzheng said excitedly, "I was talking to Mom about Sister Fu Ya. Sister Fu Ya has arrived in the capital."
When Lord Zheng heard this, he was also very happy.
"Has your Uncle Su arrived?" Lord Zheng asked. "If he has, I'd like to have a nice drink with him someday."
"Yes, Uncle Su said the same thing today. He also said he wanted to have a drink with you."
"Hahaha..." Lord Zheng laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Drinking with your Uncle Su is such a joy."
After saying this, he recalled the days in Fengqi County and couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
Although he now holds a high official position, in a city like the capital where the streets are full of marquisate families, the status of a small fifth-rank official is still too low.
On the contrary, I feel less comfortable than when I was in Fengqi County.
Lord Zheng asked some more questions about the Su family. When he learned that Su Laowu was actually the top scorer in the Qingzhou Prefecture, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
He had been optimistic about Su Laowu's potential from the beginning.
I originally wanted to marry into our family, so that the wealth wouldn't flow to outsiders, but my niece actually did something like that...
When Mr. Zheng thought of Ye Mingyan, he subconsciously frowned.
Then, he remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Zheng'er, was it Fu Ya who saved the old master of the Su family in Xiangmanlou today?"
He had just been at the yamen when he heard people talking about a young girl with superb medical skills who could actually bring people back to life. She had even brought the dead old man of the Su family back to life.
He thought it was a rumor at the time.
After all, how could a little girl have such great abilities?
However, if this little girl is Fu Ya, then nothing is impossible.
After hearing what his father said, Zheng Yuanzheng immediately nodded and said, "It's Sister Fu Ya! Dad, you don't know, Sister Fu Ya is amazing! Doctor Shen said that the old man of the Su family had passed away, but after a few injections from Sister Fu Ya, the old man of the Su family came back to life..."
When Zheng Yuanzheng mentioned this matter, his eyebrows beamed with joy and he looked proud of it.
It seemed as if he had brought the old man of the Su family back to life.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her excited son and felt powerless.
Why does it feel like the distance between my son and Fu Ya has widened again?
She is not only a princess, but also an unparalleled medical skill.
I'm afraid there are countless wealthy families in the capital who would be happy to marry a girl like this with superb medical skills.
What's more, the little girl has the Third Prince behind her.
Now people in the capital are secretly spreading the word that the emperor intends to re-enthrone the third prince as the crown prince.
Who knows, in the future, the whole world will belong to His Majesty the Third Prince.
In that case, wouldn't Fu Ya be able to walk around the capital with impunity?
Wouldn't it be even more unworthy for my own son?
Zheng Yuanzheng had no idea how worried his mother was. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lord Zheng eagerly.
Then he said, "Dad, Mom just said that she would go with you someday to visit Uncle Su and Aunt Su, and mention the matter between me and Sister Fuya..."
When Zheng Yuanzheng said this, a blush of excitement appeared on his face.
Lord Zheng: “…”
His expression froze.
Looked at Mrs. Zheng.
Do you think your son is worthy of Fu Ya?
Madam Zheng: “…”
His expression changed and he felt a little suffocated.
Then, he looked at his son, forced a smile, and said in a negotiating tone, "Well, Zheng'er, actually, the girl from the Zhang family next door is also very good..."
Zheng Yuanzheng: "...Mother, what do you mean?"
The smile on Zheng Yuanzheng's face froze.
Mrs. Zheng opened her mouth but no words came out.
There is no way, I really can't bear to hit my son.
Madam Zheng looked at Lord Zheng helplessly.
Lord Zheng sighed inwardly and tried to speak tactfully, "Zheng'er, there are many beautiful women out there. As for Fu Ya, you can just be her younger sister."
Zheng Yuanzheng looked at Lord Zheng, then at Madam Zheng, and asked as if suddenly realizing something, "Dad, Mom, do you think I'm not worthy of Sister Fuya?"
Lord Zheng asked quietly, "What do you think?"
Don’t you have any self-awareness?
Facts have proved that Zheng Yuanzheng is very self-aware.
"Not worthy!" Zheng Yuanzheng answered loudly and confidently.
Lord Zheng: “…”
Madam Zheng: “…”
"Although I am not worthy of her, I will study hard and strive to be worthy of Sister Fuya in the future!" Zheng Yuanzheng said, clenching his fists tightly and making a "come on" gesture.
I learned this gesture from my sister Fuya!
Lord Zheng looked at his son, not knowing whether he should encourage him.
Encourage your son. It is impossible for him to marry Fu Ya in the future.
Pour some cold water on him. What if he becomes depressed?
"You should study hard. Um, go study!"
Lord Zheng had no choice but to wave his hand helplessly and send his son out to study temporarily.
"Dad, don't worry. I will also take part in the Spring Examination in three years, and I will definitely pass the imperial examination!" Zheng Yuanzheng said loudly.
If I pass the imperial examination and then propose to Sister Fu Ya, it won’t be too much of an insult to her!
Zheng Yuanzheng didn't know that when he passed the imperial examination, there was another unexpected person who won the top spot.
He ultimately couldn't win.
After Zheng Yuanzheng finished his words with a solemn vow, he went to study with his head held high.
Lord Zheng and Mrs. Zheng glanced at their son's back and sighed at the same time.
What should I do?
