Chapter 1766 An San
At the next morning court session, the Emperor appointed officials to renovate the examination halls in various states. There were two officials in total, one principal and one deputy. The principal one was Lord Li's eldest son, and the other one was a surprise. He turned out to be the sixth son of the Wen family.
Lord Li's sudden appearance attracted people's attention. Yesterday, when Lord Li was leaving the court, he stopped Zhou Shuren. Many people saw it. At this time, many people looked at Zhou Shuren with hidden eyes.
Zhou Shuren felt it, but didn't even lift his eyelids.
The emperor glanced at his second son with his peripheral vision. The fleeting joy on his second son's face made the emperor look even more disappointed.
He felt a little guilty about Lord Li's forbearance yesterday. He knew that marrying into the royal family was not what the Li family wanted. Miss Li did not complain when she was treated unfairly. He was satisfied with this daughter-in-law. It was a pity that the good girl did not meet a man who treated her sincerely.
Zhou Shuren did not miss the emperor's gaze and lowered his eyelids, so the emperor knew everything, but it was a pity that the second prince did not understand. No, maybe he understood but was unwilling to admit it.
After the morning court session, Lord Li left in a hurry, as if he was avoiding the emperor, and he didn't even talk to the Second Prince.
After Lord Li left, all the ministers could only go and congratulate Lord Wen. Lord Wen was also a little confused because he had never asked for a job for this illegitimate grandson.
Zhou Shuren also joined the crowd in congratulating, and then he left with Lord Wei.
Lord Wei said in a surprised tone, "It turned out to be the Sixth Young Master of the Wen Family."
Zhou Shuren said, "Master Li's eldest son alone cannot be responsible for keeping the situation under control, and the legitimate son of the Wen family will overwhelm the Li family. It is just right to arrange for the sixth son of the Wen family to be the one to take charge. The power of the Wen family can suppress evil spirits, and the sixth son of the Wen family is also a promising candidate."
Lord Wei responded and whispered, "The Emperor is very concerned about the Li family."
Zhou Shuren thought that the emperor was making compensation for his son, "Yeah."
At Zhou Hou Mansion, Zhu Lan looked at Yu Wen who was getting dressed up, "Are you going out?"
Yuwen, "My granddaughter has accepted Miss Gong's invitation, and Miss He will also go today."
Zhulan understood, "Your mother asked you to go see someone."
"Well, my mother believes in my judgment."
Zhu Lan laughed out loud, "Then you must take a good look at it."
"Certainly."
This concerns her brother's marriage, so she must inquire carefully.
Zhulan glanced at Shichen and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Don't worry. If you go so early, you can just sit and wait."
Yu Wen sat for a while before going to the appointment. She was not the last wave to arrive. The invitation from the Minister of War was not easy to get, the girls from the Gong family did not send out many invitations, and there was not a single girl from the family of a fourth-rank official.
Miss Gong was very enthusiastic and personally took Yuwen to her seat.
Yu Wen had been sitting there for a while when Lin Xi arrived. Since it was a letter from the Minister of War's family, Lin Xi would give some face.
Linxi came in and went straight to Yuwen, "Cousin."
Yu Wen made way for him and said, "Sit down and talk."
Miss Gong saw it and knew there was no need for her to call others. She gestured to call other people and gave the space to cousin Yuwen and her sister.
Lin Xi lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you come, cousin?"
Yu Wen, "Since the post has been delivered to me, I have to give it to you."
Lin Xi rolled her eyes and said sadly, "My cousin doesn't like me anymore and she won't even tell me the truth."
Yu Wen smiled, "You really don't know?"
The aunt knew Miss He, and she didn't believe that the aunt hadn't told Linxi.
Lin Xi stopped performing and said, "I know, who is Miss He?"
She spoke in a particularly low voice, and she was very curious about Miss He.
Miss Gong is a legitimate daughter, and the ladies invited today are all legitimate daughters. At first glance, they are all rich ladies.
Yuwen described, "The lady in the light blue dress."
Lin Xi looked over and raised her eyebrows, "What a warm smile."
Yuwen also thinks so. Some people are born with a smile. When Miss He smiles, she is like a little sun, bright and warm.
In Chuanzhou, Changzhi sat in Qianjiang's carriage, his eyes fell on Qianjiang's very ugly face, "The An family is not giving in, we need to solve it."
Qian Jiang's eyes were filled with disgust. "The road out of the city is so wide, why did they give way to the An family? Isn't this road wide enough for the An family to walk on?"
Changzhi also learned something new. The An family was as tyrannical as a local tyrant. He saw through the carriage window that the people were very afraid of the An family and they made way for the An family's carriage to pass.
Qian Jiang took a deep breath and said to the driver, "Let's get out of the way too."
The coachman hurried the carriages to clear the way, but the An family's carriage did not pass by. Instead, it drove parallel to the Qian family's carriage. The third master of the An family was sitting in the An family's carriage.
Master An San was very arrogant, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Master Qian."
Qian Jiang pinched his palms, "Do you want to waste time with me?"
When Master An San saw that there were still people in the carriage, he exclaimed, "Master Qian has guests. I was wondering why you were so stubborn and refused to give way."
Chang Zhi leaned back with a dull look in his eyes. He just thought it was ridiculous. There were many playboys in the capital, but none of them were so arrogant. On the contrary, more and more people like him stayed away from the capital.
Master An San did have something to do, and when he saw Qian Jiang didn't say anything, he sneered and left.
Qian Jiang closed his eyes and then opened them again, "So you're still trying to persuade me to take part in the Spring Examination?"
Chang Zhi, "You are standing still while the An family is moving forward step by step. Are you really willing to do that?"
Qian Jiang signaled the carriage to go faster and avoided answering.
Changzhi was not disappointed. He knew that persuasion was not something that could be achieved overnight. He then asked, "The eldest son of the second branch of the An family sought an official position after he passed the imperial examination?"
Qian Jiang frowned, "Yeah."
Changzhi sensed the resistance and didn't want to talk any more, so he said, "I've been staying in the state capital for a while, and tomorrow I'm going to go out and travel around."
Qian Jiang rarely has someone he can talk to, "Brother Zhou, why don't you stay for a few more days?"
"No, it would go against my original intention to stay in the state capital when I came out to study."
"Then I'll send Brother Zhou off tomorrow."
Changzhi smiled and said, "I will talk to Brother Qian after I have traveled all over Sichuan Province."
"good."
At the residence of the Minister of War, Yu Wen has already spoken to Miss He. Today's young lady has a good family background and is self-respecting and has no scheming. At most, I don't like you and I won't talk to you.
Miss He was a smart person, so she was naturally happy to talk more with the county lord. If they really wanted to talk, they could relate to each other, and it was quite nice for them to sit together and chat.
For a family without great ambitions, the son of Zhou Houfu is the perfect candidate for a husband.
Yuwen did not invite Miss He to come to her house, but she asked Miss He to choose jewelry together, "I will send a carriage to pick you up then."
Miss He smiled brightly, "Okay, I'll wait at the mansion."
Time passed quickly, and the ladies left one after another. Lin Xi was in no hurry to return to the palace, and squeezed into a carriage with her cousin. "Are you satisfied, cousin?"
"You know the answer but you still ask."
If she was not satisfied, she would not invite Miss He to choose jewelry together.
Lin Xi played with her fan, "Cousin Mingjia has become more and more stable, and Miss He has a good temper."
Yuwen chuckled, "Are you satisfied too?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Satisfied."
Who doesn't like a generous cousin-in-law? But she is not self-deprecating and likes petty and mean women.
