Chapter 516: Wealth and Honor



Zhang Ke didn't want to focus his energy on the two minions. As long as he asked the people below to do the work, the matter would be done.

"But my father's Zhu Rong knows kung fu, and he injured my son in public..." Zhang Mo lifted up his sleeves when he said this, and sure enough, two bruises were exposed in front of his eyes.

"hateful!"

Zhang Ke's eyes turned red with anger when he saw this. He thought that this seemingly ordinary couple must be hiding some bigger problems.

Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen returned to the yard hand in hand and cooked several delicious dishes for them, including sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised spareribs, glutinous rice balls, and tofu and vegetable soup. They placed them on the table in the yard. Several people sat on the ground and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

"You have been taking exams all day today, you must be very tired!" Gu Yunru couldn't help but think of the modern exams, which lasted a whole day and almost killed all the brain cells.

"It's all okay. These questions are much simpler than the ones I encountered in the past." Mr. Wang answered them easily and with a confident look. However, Rong Zhen on the side hung his head, and no one knew what had happened to him.

"Husband, eat meat." Gu Yunru picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him. Seeing that he was still unhappy, she told a joke to tease him, but there was no sign of his mouth corners rising.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhu might be too nervous in the examination room today, and he feels that he did not perform well..." Wang Xiucai came to his rescue, and Gu Yunru suddenly realized. However, Rong Zhen has been practicing spears and sticks since he was a child, so it is normal for him not to care about these things, and she would not dislike him for this.

"Husband, you are the best in my heart, you don't have to be like this." Gu Yunru sweetly picked up a piece of chicken steak for him. The two husband and wife looked so inseparable. Wang Xiucai couldn't help but sigh, "When can I find a wife as considerate as you, my sister-in-law?"

"It will be soon, don't worry, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response." Gu Yunru grinned at him, and at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a woman in solid-colored clothes walked in.

"Ruyan!" When Mr. Wang saw it was Ruyan, he walked forward excitedly without even having time to eat the meat in the bowl.

"Brother Wang, I've finished reading all the books you lent me last time. I've got some thoughts this time, which I've written down at the back of the book. Do you have any other good books?"

Ji Ruyan is very studious. She and Wang Xiucai have been borrowing books from each other these days. They also write book reviews and analyze poems, which are the things that literati like to play with.

Gu Yunru suppressed her smile. Rong Zhen took a look at their expressions and naturally understood. No wonder Mr. Wang always pulled him aside to ask questions about women those few nights. It turned out that it was all because of Ruyan.

"There are a lot of books at home. If you don't mind, you can sit here and read them. By the way, how have you been these days?"

Ji Ruyan heard him ask about the recent situation and smiled, "It's the same as always. I always feel that Master Ji didn't redeem me for himself. I don't know why. He never said a few words to me. Sometimes he just turned around and walked away. He was particularly cold and indifferent."

Gu Yunru pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on their conversation and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ji Ruyan then realized that everyone was having dinner, and it would be rude for her to come here at this time. She was about to turn around and leave, but Wang Xiucai came forward to see her off.

"Husband, do you think Miss Ruyan and Mr. Wang are a good match?" Gu Yunru asked this question halfway through the meal. Rong Zhen has never been interested in these things, and he even ignores other people's gossip. However, this Mr. Wang always asked him some inexplicable questions these past few nights.

"Are you talking about Miss Ruyan? Forget about it. Ruyan is destined to enter the palace." Rong Zhen could foresee Ji Ruyan's fate at a glance. The emperor spent a fortune to redeem her from Wanhua Tower and only temporarily settled her with Ji Heng. But she came here every now and then to make love with Wang Xiucai...

"I say, how can you be so cold-blooded? You are not romantic at all. Besides, it was the Emperor who wanted to redeem Miss Ruyan unilaterally. Miss Ruyan doesn't even know who redeemed her. Besides, Ji Heng has been so cold to her these days. She has met a soulmate like Wang Xiucai. It is inevitable that the two of them will be together!"

When Mr. Wang turned around, he heard the two people talking about the emperor. He was very surprised. Could it be that there was some connection between them and the emperor? His heart suddenly sank.

Plus, Brother Zhu hasn't been back for a while, could it be possible that his real identity is...

Thinking of this, Gu Yunru walked in with full of doubts, quickly restrained the smile on his face, and looked at Mr. Wang in front of him, "Brother Wang, did you send Miss Ruyan away?"

"Yes, I sent her away, but I haven't seen Brother Zhu these days. I wonder where he went?"

"He..." Gu Yunru suddenly had an idea and made up a reason, saying that the sow at home had a difficult delivery, so Brother Zhu had to hurry back to the village.

"Brother Wang, why do I feel you are so happy every time I see you with Miss Ruyan? Could it be that you have fallen in love with Miss Ruyan?" Gu Yunru asked directly. Unexpectedly, this shy guy blushed. After all, he is in his thirties, but when asked about these things, he would be so shy like a woman, without any manly responsibility.

Rong Zhen gave Gu Yunru a reproachful look. How could she have put the two of them together? Did she forget their mission?

Gu Yunru ignored Rong Zhen's warning, walked to Wang Xiucai and said, "Next time you meet Miss Ruyan, read your old poems to her again and again, let her know that you are a very talented person. Women like men who can write poems."

"Really? Ruyan will like the poems I wrote?" Wang Xiucai looked at her in disbelief and asked. Gu Yunru nodded rapidly. "Don't worry, especially the one you wrote, Farewell to Spring Willow. I was so moved that I burst into tears after listening to it.

What's more, it's Miss Ruyan. Just do as I say, and you will definitely win Miss Ruyan's heart!"

Gu Yunru patted his shoulder solemnly, and Wang Xiucai really went to prepare. The next exam would be in three days. During these days, the students were reviewing their previous lessons, and they were full of confidence in the exam and determined to pass it.
