Chapter 28 Master, Miss Lan’s results are out!
Pei Yue took Zhu Lan towards the main gate of Zhu's residence, speaking softly along the way. She also asked her what snacks she wanted to eat and she would bring them back for her later.
The main reason is that I’m afraid that the child won’t be able to bear the blow later.
Pei Yue walked to the gate, still thinking about how to comfort Zhu Lan when she returned.
Then they saw Su and Zhu Qingyan arriving at the door of Zhu's house. The four of them bumped into them and were all stunned.
Zhu Lan sighed inwardly.
The concubine brought her illegitimate daughter to the house and ran into the principal wife and the eldest daughter.
If that damn old man were still alive, let’s see how he would clean up this Shura scene!
Su's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly saluted and said:
"Meet Madam Pei."
Pei Yue paused slightly, moved closer, and looked Su up and down, with a hint of admiration between her eyebrows:
"This lady is really pretty. Are you here to my house for some business, or to see someone?"
The tone was sincere, without any sarcasm at all.
Su:?
You are just pretending, don’t you know who I am?
Zhu Lan recalled that the last time Su brought Zhu Qingyan to visit, Old Master Zhu and the people from the second branch had gone out to negotiate.
Only Pei Yue seemed to be looking at the account book in the room and didn't care at all.
So Pei Yue had indeed never seen this mother and daughter.
Su's face turned green.
Zhu Hongsheng's mind back then was mostly on himself. He had the idea of competing with Pei Yue in his heart, and he always hid in the dark and secretly observed her.
Several times, Pei Yue's eyes swept towards her, and thinking that she had discovered her, she deliberately revealed most of her profile and her exquisite and graceful figure.
Let her know the gap between herself and her.
So many years have passed, and Su thought that he had been fighting openly and secretly with Pei Yue.
But Pei Yue didn't even know who she was! ?
We've been jealous of each other for so long, and now you tell me that you're an imaginary enemy?
Su was in a bad state.
Zhu Lan pulled Pei Yue's sleeve, whispered to them about their identities, then turned back and smiled at them:
"I'm sorry, my mother's eyesight is not very good, and she didn't recognize it at first."
Su took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and bowed softly.
"Madam Pei, I came here today to bring Qingyan to meet..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Yue suddenly patted her hands in a gentle tone.
"I have some urgent matters today, so I don't have time to talk to you more."
As he spoke, he waved to Zhu Lan.
"Lan'er, take your aunt Su and sister in to see grandfather. If you have anything to say, talk to him."
Having said that, he got on the carriage and went to see the shop.
Zhu Lan suppressed his laughter and said to the two of them, "Come in with me."
Zhu Qingyan looked at her with a mocking look in his eyes.
Want to laugh? I'll see if you can still laugh later!
When Zhu Yuanou heard that someone was looking for him, he waited in the main hall.
But when he saw that the people coming were Su and Zhu Qingyan, the corners of his mouth drooped immediately.
"What are you two doing here? Someone, give me—"
"Dad, don't be angry first." Du Lanfang suddenly walked in with a smile on her face.
She has always been good at dealing with people, and she was able to coax Mr. Zhu into submission with her clever words.
Seeing her come in, Zhu Yuanou's expression looked a little better.
Du Lanfang poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuanou and said softly:
"Brother has been gone for so many years, and his death anniversary will be here in a few days. This Qingyan girl has brother's blood in her body, so maybe she just wants to go to the memorial service together.
Although my eldest brother's behavior is a bit out of line, we are still a family after all. He must want to see his children now that they have grown up."
"That little bastard!" Zhu Yuanou shook his beard, getting angry when he mentioned that ridiculous son.
"Grandpa, Qingyan is now a student at Longchang Academy. He has only been enrolled for a month, but he has already ranked first in Class C.
I brought her back for the sake of the Zhu family. Hongsheng caused you too much worry when he was alive, so let Qingyan fulfill her filial duty on behalf of her father."
When they heard that the first place in Class C was awarded, not only the servants present, but also Zhu Yuanou and Du Lanfang were shocked.
The students in Class Bingzi are at a level that can allow them to take part in the county examination!
How old is Zhu Qingyan?
And the girl was from the countryside and had only been in school for a month.
What kind of talent is this! ?
Su said this, bowed, and asked Zhu Qingyan to kneel down as well.
Zhu Yuanou hesitated.
Both sons are useless, and the eldest granddaughter Zhu Lan is about to be expelled from school. What if Zhu Chao doesn't grow up to be a good student?
Then the Zhu family would be completely finished!
Although Qingyan, this girl, came from a poor family, she was born in adversity and still had such amazing knowledge and talent.
It’s hard to say, it’s really the Wenquxing who descended to the world…
Du Lanfang was now even more certain in his heart that betting on Zhu Qingyan would definitely not be a mistake this time.
"Yes, Dad. Our Zhu family has few descendants, and if Yan Jieer enters the mansion, it will also add some popularity.
Besides, Chao Ge'er is about to reach the age of enlightenment. If he has such a capable sister to teach him, he will definitely be a promising person in the future!"
They have already changed their way of addressing her and started calling her "Sister Yan".
Zhu Lan was standing at the door leaning against the door frame, and the people inside treated her like air.
She yawned and glanced towards the gate, thinking that the servant in this mansion was too slow.
I'll have to let them do morning jogging exercises later.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanou was wavering, Su seized the opportunity and tugged at Zhu Qingyan's arm, "Quick, call grandpa."
Zhu Qingyan was proud and arrogant, and originally did not agree with his mother's humble attitude in asking him to return to the Zhu family.
Even without the Zhu family, I would still be able to make a name for myself in the future.
But Su insisted again and again that as long as her daughter was labeled as "the daughter of a concubine", she would be inferior to others.
What honest family would come to propose marriage?
Zhu Qingyan couldn't resist and finally agreed to listen to Su, but he was still feeling angry.
Zhu Qingyan bit his lip and lowered his eyes, saying, "Grandfather, please let Qingyan return to the Zhu family. Qingyan will study hard in the future, pass the imperial examination and become an official, bringing honor to the Zhu family."
Zhu Yuanou was, after all, a grandfather of the same generation, with a head full of white hair. When he heard the word "grandfather", he immediately felt a little soft-hearted.
"Master, Master, Miss Lan's results are out!"
The servant boy Acai ran in breathlessly, shouting loudly.
The headscarf was all askew.
Zhu Yuanou's heart sank for a moment, he glared at Acai, his face turned pale.
Didn’t you notice there’s someone else here?
If you want to say something embarrassing, just pass it back quietly. Why shout it so loudly?
Du Lanfang covered her lips and laughed secretly, looking like she was enjoying a good show.
Mr. Zhu is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. Zhu Lan has embarrassed him this time and he will only be ignored even more in the future!
Say it, say it quickly!
She kept winking at Acai.
"Master, Miss Lan...Miss Lan has been admitted to Class B-2!!!"
With a "clang", the teacup in Zhu Yuanou's hand fell to the ground.
Su and Zhu Qingyan both widened their eyes, and there was even panic on Su's face.
How is this possible!?
“Say it again…?”
Zhu Yuanou pointed at Acai, his fingers trembling.
It must be because I’m old and my hearing isn’t working well.
Class B?
The students in Class B of Longchang Academy are all students of Tongsheng status, and the level of Class One and Class Two is almost enough to reach the threshold of Xiucai!
Just her? His good-for-nothing granddaughter?
Zhu Lan, who couldn't even pass the T-class for half a year?
How is that possible!
