Chapter 1028 Chapter 8

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been seven days. This year's college entrance examination is over, and today is the day when the results are announced. Early in the morning, Zhou's Zhao sent a servant to check the list.

Yudie didn't understand her mother and sister's nervousness, and instead hid in her grandmother's arms, feeling wronged. "Grandma, look at Yuwen. No matter how I tease her, she won't come out to play."

Zhulan also looked at Yuwen helplessly. Suxuan went to attend the banquet today, so Mingjia and Yuwen brought her here to watch over her. Mingjia was an active girl, so after a while he went to the front yard to watch Changzhong study. Only Yuwen was left, lying there in the same position as when she was brought in, hugging the pillow without moving.

Yu Shuang burst out laughing and reached out to pinch Yu Wen's fat hand, "You can't lie down like this anymore, look how fat you have become."

Yuwen glanced lazily at her elder sister, then yawned, looking like she was going to sleep.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but laugh, "When Su Xuan is at home, she tries to make Yu Wen do something every day. When Su Xuan is not at home, this girl won't listen to anyone."

Zhulan looked at Yuwen helplessly, "When your mother comes back, grandma will complain."

Yu Wen's eyes widened at this point. It was obvious that her mother was a terrifying existence in her heart. She sat up obediently and called out in a baby voice, "Grandma."

Zhulan's heart was about to melt. "It's no use being coquettish. Go down to the ground and play with Sister Yudie for a while, and grandma won't complain."

Yu Wen frowned and stretched out her hand to her elder sister, "Hug."

Yu Shuang smiled and picked up Yu Wen, then weighed her and said, "She's gained weight again."

Yuwen is small, but she knows how to be fat. "Daddy said it's a blessing."

Zhulan was even happier, as she could imagine how Changzhi would be suppressed by Suxuan every time he said this. Suxuan was intent on getting Yuwen to exercise more, but Changzhi was still trying to sabotage her.

At this time, the servant who went to check the list came back and found out Liu Feng's results. He was ranked eighth and was now a scholar.

Yu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face deepened a little. She was really afraid that Liu Feng would not pass the exam, which would undermine Liu Feng's confidence. She knew too well how strong-willed Liu Feng was, especially after her father became an official. She could clearly feel how much Liu Feng wanted to prove himself in front of her father.

Zhao was also happy, but his own results were all good, so he couldn't help but say, "Eighth place, I thought we would at least be in the top five."

Yu Shuang replied, "Mom, this is the capital, not my hometown, Pingzhou."

Zhao smiled and said, "You are right, this is the capital."

Zhulan has already asked Mrs. Song to take the prepared gifts to the Hu family, so the Hu family must be bustling now.

Zhao stood up and said, "Mom, I will go myself."

Zhulan, "Go ahead."

Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi received the imperial edict, he and Wu Ming went on the mission together, four people from the Ministry of Rites went, but actually not all of them wanted to go, knowing that this was an opportunity to earn merit, but going abroad was risky, the sea was unpredictable, and going to a foreign country, so some still resisted.

After the imperial edict came down, Chang Yi and Wu Ming were happy, but the other two were not so happy. One had a family to rely on, and came to the Ministry of Rites just to wait for an opportunity to be transferred, while the other was worried about what would happen to his wife and children if something unexpected happened to him.

Changyi was aiming for achievement. He understood that there is gain only if you put in effort, and the greater the risk, the greater the gain. He has an adventurous spirit in his heart.

Wu Ming needed achievements, and the Crown Prince also wanted him to go because he wanted him to see more foreign countries. This was a sign of the Crown Prince's trust in him.

Gu Zhuomin stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Wu Ming said, "There will be opportunities in the future."

Gu Zhuomin twitched his lips, and finally sighed, "I hope so."

He was not afraid of danger, but unfortunately he was not given another chance.

Chang Yi changed the subject, "Today the results of Liu Feng are out, but I don't know how they are?"

Gu Zhuomin said, "I have sent someone to check the list."

The Ministry of Revenue also sent someone to accompany the envoy on this mission. The Ministry of Rites had a mission, and the Ministry of Revenue also had a mission, and the person sent was Zhang Jinghong.

I recommend an app, which is like the revival of the old version of the book-chasing artifact, a source-changing artifact that can change the source of all books!

Zhou Shuren was surprised that the emperor actually sent Zhang Jinghong. Seeing Zhang Jinghong was confused, Zhou Shuren signaled everyone to go back. Then he said to Zhang Jinghong who had come to his senses, "You have good abilities. This is also a recognition."

Obviously, the emperor recognized Zhang Jinghong's ability.

Zhang Jinghong grinned, "Sir, I understand."

He is happy that his abilities are recognized, and he knows that only by facing his abilities positively can he live a better life.

Zhou Shuren admired Zhang Jinghong's current open-mindedness and said, "Go back and prepare. We will set off in three days."

Zhang Jinghong did need to make some arrangements. When he was not in the capital, his wife would be alone. He had to be prepared for any eventuality. If something went wrong, he had to leave her with enough options for retreat. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. "Sir, I will go back first."

"Um."

Qiu Yan watched Zhang Jinghong leave before speaking, "It's not easy for him either."

Zhou Shuren tilted his head, "Who has an easy life in this world?"

Qiu Yan paused, "You're right, it's easy for anyone!"

In Xuzhou, Chang Lian has already taken office. His official position is not high, so the situation has not affected him yet. The atmosphere above is tense, and what he needs to do now is to keep a low profile.

Zhao Ji came over and asked, "Don't you have any ideas?"

Chang Lian raised his eyebrows, "No, my father told me to stay here and be obedient. I am the one who listens to my father the most in the family."

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he had no idea. He was afraid that Zhou Changlian might have some idea. "Mr. Zhou is right."

Chang Lian's eyes deepened. He just clung to Zhao Ji and did not trust Zhao Ji. He remembered his father had said not to trust anyone easily, especially in officialdom. He did not want to be stabbed in the back.

Zhao Ji sighed again, "I especially admire Mr. Zhou."

Chang Lian was proud. His father was so powerful. Look, his second brother also became an official. When the news reached here, he clearly felt that the officials of the Maritime Affairs Department were more polite to him. "Well, my father is also the best father."

Zhao Ji was choked and didn't want to speak.

Chang Lian missed the capital. This was not his home. The capital was it. He recalled what his father had given him. Now was not the time yet.

When Mrs. Zhao arrived at the Hu family, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Ding also arrived. Mrs. Jin spoke before Mrs. Ding, "Liu Feng is a good boy. He passed the exam and became a scholar. Congratulations to you, congratulations to you."

Zhao smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Mrs. Hu had been nervous for many days, but today she finally felt at ease. She was the one who was most worried that her son would not get good grades. "Liu Feng will be back soon."

Zhao looked at Hu. A woman's confidence lies in her husband. Hu had no husband and only had her son. Liu Feng became a scholar, so Hu also felt confident and spoke more casually.

Gu Liufeng was disappointed. He didn't even make it into the top five, and he didn't know whether Yu Shuang was happy or the Zhou family was satisfied.

It was not until Liu Feng returned home and met his future mother-in-law and saw the gifts she brought that he felt at ease. Although his mother-in-law did not say it, he knew that the gift must have been chosen by Yu Shuang, and only then did he feel happy.

The next day, because Changyi was going on a diplomatic mission, Zhao was very busy preparing luggage, etc. Zhulan was replying to Dong's letter when Zhao came back and said, "Mother, I went to the clinic today. Guess who I met?"
