Jin could only glare at the prince Zhou Wencan before saying to Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. You are all so old now. You should always go and show filial piety to your grandfather. If you need anything, just tell him directly. We are a family and there is no need to be so polite.
Your grandfather still loves you very much."
It wasn't that Jin was trying to teach the child bad things; she was simply furious at the partiality between their parents. Originally, most of the Marquis's possessions should have belonged to the eldest wife. Even if we take a step back, dividing them three ways was the limit. Whose property was divided equally?
In this way, my father and mother were eager to give everything to my third brother, so that the first and second wives could earn money on their own.
Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhishangquan first looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes. Did their parents allow them to go to their grandfather to steal something?
Zhou Qiongyue covered her mouth to hold back her laughter. She thought it was quite interesting how her parents taught her two brothers.
After all, Zhou Zhiyi is the eldest brother and is also smart. He doesn't do this usually, but he just doesn't want to show his affection to his own people.
Now it seems that Grandfather has done something to irritate Dad again, and even Dad, who is so good-tempered, is so angry that he has let them do whatever they want. He is really curious about what Grandfather has done.
Zhou Zhiyi thought that he could ask what had happened in the mansion recently later.
After Zhou Zhiyi understood, he smiled and assured, "Don't worry, Dad and Mom! My brother and I also have a part to play in honoring our grandparents. We'll go more often when we have time."
Zhou Wencan only nodded slightly when he heard this. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that he nodded too much.
Seeing that his son had made the suggestion, Zhou Wencan returned to the previous matter and asked, "What did you use to seize these three houses from your grandfather?"
Zhou Qiongyue really admired her father's cleverness. Even if he didn't know anything, he could still guess the general idea from the results.
If Zhou Wencan knew his daughter was thinking this way, he would definitely be more modest. He wasn't smart, he just knew his father too well. Aside from the Third Brother's family, it would be difficult for the rest of them to make him bleed.
He didn't think his good daughter was shameless, it was just an exchange of interests.
Marquis Cheng'en Zhou Moyang: Do you have any misunderstanding about your own daughter? She looks so shameless, she is just a replica of you, okay?
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the people in the room. Their intentions were very obvious, but it was hard to say with so many people around.
The servants in this room were all shrewd people. Seeing Zhou Qiongyue's eyes, they immediately retreated. Zhou Qiongyue and her confidants were quite tacit and stood outside at a distance, not too far away, to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
When Zhou Qiongyue saw that they were the only family members left in the room, she repeated what she had said to her grandfather, and finally emphasized that she and her fifth brother had heard it together!
Zhou Zhiquan nodded immediately, proving that his sister hadn't lied and that he was indeed there. Lately, he'd been so worried about keeping things secret that he was practically going bald.
Now that his sister had spoken out on her own initiative, he breathed a sigh of relief. If the sky fell, he, a short man, would no longer have to bear the brunt of it.
Anyone present was smarter and more capable than him, including his well-behaved, beautiful and kind sister.
Jin widened her eyes in surprise. She was not surprised by the content, but was surprised that her daughter had had the same dream before.
Fortunately, the three people in the room who were unaware of the situation were quite surprised at this time, so Jin's behavior was nothing.
Zhou Wencan's first reaction after hearing this was to hit Zhou Zhiquan on the head twice (oh, one of the hits was for Zhou Qiongyue, he didn't know that his father couldn't bear to hit his sister, so he had to hit him instead).
Zhou Zhiquan covered his head in anger, "Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Such an important matter, why didn't you two tell me when you came back?" At this time, Zhou Wencan looked at his son and daughter with a look of disappointment in their lives.
Zhou Qiongyue and Zhou Zhiquan both looked at Zhou Wencan with eyes that said, "You're crazy!" Zhou Zhiquan couldn't help but defend himself, "Can you believe such a bizarre dream?"
The most important thing is that the second cousin told them not to tell anyone else.
At this moment, Zhou Wencan didn't want to pay attention to his son. Instead, he looked at his daughter, "So Yue'er thinks it's true now? Your grandfather believes it too!"
Zhou Qiongyue shook her head first, then nodded, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, but I got the news and that person believed it."
Zhou Wencan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he put away his skepticism. "Is the information accurate?"
Zhou Qiongyue didn't say that it was Princess Yongchun who discovered it, but just nodded solemnly.
Zhou Wencan saw his daughter nod, and he believed it. His daughter had spent a lot of time in the palace since she was young, so it was normal for her to see and encounter things occasionally.
"Don't worry about this matter, you three. Just do what you need to do. Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up! Yi'er, give it a try this year! As long as you are on the list, as long as you are not a fellow Jinshi, it will be fine. Then you can go out and gain some experience for a few years."
Zhou Zhiyi's eyes widened at this moment. He wanted to say, "Dad, listen to what you are saying! You really think that taking the imperial examination is easy! You are so picky and even ask for someone other than the other Jinshi."
"Why do you have an objection? What's wrong with you?" Although Zhou Wencan asked a question, his attitude implied that if you dared to say no, you would be beaten.
What could Zhou Zhiyi do? He could only reply, "No, my son is just wondering if my younger brother should take the exam with me. After all, he is also a juren."
Anyway, since he got wet in the rain, he would tear up his second brother Zhou Zhiyu's umbrella.
Zhou Wencan thought about it and agreed, "Okay, I'll say hello to my second brother then."
Zhou Wencan had no idea his younger brother would disagree. In fact, they had always had a good relationship since childhood, and Zhou Wenjun trusted him immensely. He probably only needed to give him a word of advice, and his younger brother would agree without even having to explain why.
The reason why he was so anxious for his son to leave as soon as possible with a promising future was that he thought that if the news was true, the Yuan'an examination might be temporarily cancelled during the two years of drought. As for what would happen after that, no one knew.
If I take a break for a few years, even if I manage to pass the exam, the competition will be immense. There are always people better than you, so it's best not to be overconfident. If I don't pass the exam for a year or two, how long will it take me to enter the government? Slow down, and you'll have to wait.
"Then let's arrange Yi'er's marriage before Yue'er! Let's tell everyone that the Marquis's family is marrying off their daughter. It won't look good if none of the older brothers are married."
Jin was also anxious about her son's marriage. It had already been delayed for three years because the woman was in mourning. If it was delayed any further, there would be more gossip, especially about the woman. It would be better to marry her off sooner rather than later!
Otherwise, no one outside would have enough to eat, and the Marquis' Mansion would still have to hold a wedding, which would be too annoying.
Zhou Wencan nodded and agreed.
As for Zhou Zhiyi, it's good enough that he can listen, but he really doesn't have the right to speak.
Zhou Qiongyue listened to her parents and brother discussing these things, and she also thought it was very interesting. As long as the family was striving to live a good life, she felt very happy.
