The silly son had no idea about getting married. Except for not flirting with Ning Xu, he spent all day busying himself with his carpentry.
It was not the first time that girls came to propose marriage to him. Every time he encountered such a situation, he would hide in his master's house and would not come back until he was sure that the marriage would not take place. Over time, Tu Yufan also let him do what he wanted.
He is not one of those people who would cause harm to other people.
As for Ning Xu, he has his own plans and Tu Yufan will not make any decisions for him.
Five years later, Ning Xu became the top scorer in the imperial examination and has been working in the Hanlin Academy ever since.
Tu Yufan was also about to marry Zhu Xiulan in the same year. At this time, her fiancé had already become a juren. Because of Ning Xu's relationship, no one would say that they were not a good match. Everyone complimented them and said that they were a match made in heaven.
On the day before her wedding, the man Zhou Yi returned home in glory.
"Oh my, that kid Zhou the Hunter has become a general, and Wan'er will be the general's wife in the future. If it were a few years ago, who would have thought that we would be in this situation now? Nephew, you will enjoy a happy life in the future."
Uncle Zhu had just rushed over from the village, and he was still feeling quite sad.
Tu Yufan knew that Uncle Zhu was talking about the blessing of having a daughter, so he shook his head and said, "I became a wealthy man a few years ago, so their wealth and glory have nothing to do with me."
"That's true. But Xu'er is not bad either. He passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer at such a young age. He will have a bright future. Xiulan will also become the wife of a successful candidate. You don't have to worry about anything anymore." Uncle Zhu said enviously.
I used to think that my nephew's family was in a mess, but after he moved to my nephew's family, they all seemed to have gotten something good and were living better than the other.
Uncle Zhu clicked his tongue and thought how great it would be if this happened to his family. He would have to offer sacrifices to his ancestors every day to thank them for their protection.
However, over the years, this nephew has returned the favor and taken care of his family, so he has received a good reward.
Zhu Xiulan smiled shyly. When she heard Uncle Zhu talking about Zhou Yi, her expression did not change. Tu Yufan felt relieved.
The vicious female supporting role finally got rid of the vicious circle of competing for men and started her own life.
"Uncle, you are not bad. You are so old but your legs and feet are still so agile."
Uncle Zhu is a person who cannot sit still. He likes to chat with people everywhere. He is a generation older than Tu Yufan, which was considered an extremely long life in ancient times.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Xiulan is about to get married and is reluctant to leave her family. Why don't you talk to her?" Uncle Zhu had a stern face and his voice rose several degrees.
"We live next door. We see each other every day. What's there to comfort us about?"
The boy from the Li family still has three years before he takes part in the imperial examination. Zhu Xiulan lives just one street away from Zhu's house, so there is nothing to be sad about.
Uncle Zhu choked for a moment and suddenly remembered this.
....
After that, Ning Xu was promoted step by step, and soon became a member of the Fourth Prince's faction. Tu Yufan thought that this time he did not choose the fool Third Prince.
In the original plot, Ning Xu failed to take the imperial examination. He relied on flattery and pleasing others to successfully attract the attention of the third prince and became his aide.
History has only given him the label of being treacherous and corrupt, and put him in the same category as the incompetent Third Prince.
This time he was a genuine imperial examinee and had lived with the Fourth Prince for many years. When he realized that the old emperor did not have much time left, he made a choice that was different from his original destiny and became a member of the Fourth Prince's faction.
The fourth prince believed in Ning Xu and thought he had the talent to govern the country.
Without the help of her sister Guan Hu, Zhu Wan encountered repeated setbacks in the capital, not to mention her pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face. Her identity was always a topic of ridicule by everyone, and the imperial court looked down on military officers. As a fourth-rank military officer, Zhou Yi was nothing in the capital, the center of power.
Ning Xu did not become a tool to push the plot forward. In the original plot, Zhu Wan rescued the Fourth Prince many times. In this life, she and the Fourth Prince had no chance to get to know each other at all.
