Chapter 1035 Liu Jing's Younger Son

Liu Jing did not hide it. He came here today to seek a solution. "Princess Liang's family, the Zhu family."

Zhou Shuren saw that Liu Jing had been staring at him. "Even if he didn't have the Zhou family's connection, your son would still be remembered for his excellence. It's the same for boys and girls. It's sad to be too outstanding without a family background to protect you, isn't it?"

Liu Jing silently withdrew his gaze. The Liu family had no roots in the capital, which was the biggest disadvantage. Unless he was willing to give up the capital and go to the countryside, how could he give up the place he had worked so hard to climb in? If he had not been engaged to the Zhou family, he might have compromised, but now there was hope.

Liu Jing looked tired. He had been dealing with this for several days. "Please help me, sir."

Zhou Shuren, "The problem can actually be solved by finding someone with a better family background."

Liu Jing had a toothache. If he had Zhou Shuren's confidence, he would have gone to look for him long ago. Why did he come to Zhou's house in person and disturb Zhou Shuren's rest? "I know that too."

Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask my wife."

Zhou Shuren went back to the backyard, entered the house and asked, "I heard you say a few days ago that Ning Ting hasn't chosen a husband yet?"

Zhulan raised her head, "I haven't chosen yet. The Duke's wife asked Xuehan to look around, and Xuehan told me about it. I'm helping her look for one. So, do you have a suitable family?"

The Ning family's requirements are not easy to meet. One must not be too bad looking and must have the ability to make progress. The most important thing is that the family background must be simple and not involved with any faction. There are even fewer options.

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The second son of the Liu Jing family, although not the eldest son, is quite gifted. He is now of the right age and ranked third in the college entrance examination this year. We have all seen his appearance. What do you think?"

Zhu Lan blinked her eyes. "Ning Ting is the eldest granddaughter of the Ningguo Mansion. Isn't that too low?"

Zhou Shuren, "It's impossible for Ning Ting to marry into a wealthy family. The Ningguo Mansion has to be cautious now. Who else do you think can be chosen?"

Zhulan was silent. Indeed, Ning Ting could not marry into a wealthy family. The men who were engaged to be matched with her were either too young or too young. "I will send a message to the young lady first to see the response from the Duke's Mansion."

Zhou Shuren felt that it would basically work. He hoped that Liu Jing would be fine. Thinking that his wife was not doing well, he went to talk to Ning Xu.

Liu Jing was curious about which daughter Zhou Shuren had in mind. Zhou Shuren's reaction just now clearly showed that there was a suitable person, and he was hoping to marry someone with a good family background who would be good to his youngest son.

Zhou Shuren came back and said, "I can't tell you who this is yet. I'm waiting for news here. I'll tell you when I have it. You can hold off for a while. Forget it. I'll go to court tomorrow to talk to Lord Zhu and hold off for you."

Liu Jing felt very complicated. Zhou Shuren said so casually that he could just talk to Master Zhu. "Thank you, thank you so much."

"We are in-laws, so it's only right for us to help each other when we are in trouble."

Liu Jing thought, if the favor can be paid, it will be too big. The Zhou family is not short of money, but they are short of favors. Favors are difficult to repay. Forget it, let the youngest son pay it back. He does not have much ability to repay it.

Not long after Liu Jing left, Xue Han came back with a message, saying that they would wait for Rong Chuan to come back in the evening and go to the Duke's Mansion to have dinner and ask about him, and there would be news tomorrow.

Ningguogongfu, the Duke's wife is so precious to Xuehan, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you don't have to come back to see us before three months?"

Xue Han hurriedly explained, "Grandma, of course it's something important."

The Duke's wife's face changed, thinking something had happened again, "Tell grandma who bullied you."

Xue Han shook her head, "Grandma, I came here for Ning Ting. You asked me to keep an eye out for her, and now I have a candidate, so I came back with my husband."

The wife of the Duke was also anxious about her granddaughter's marriage. Song wanted to find one within the Song family. She did not want to marry her eldest granddaughter back to the Song family. Song was already the eldest grandson's wife, so there was no need to let Ning Ting marry back. Besides, it was not good for the two major families to be too closely tied together.

The Duke's wife asked hurriedly, "Whose family is it?"

Xue Han talked about the Liu family's situation, focusing on the results of this year's college entrance examination. When she received her mother's letter, she went to ask her father-in-law. It was because her father-in-law thought it was possible that she and Rongchuan returned.

The wife of the Duke has always looked at aristocratic families and has never considered an official family like Lord Liu. She turned her head to look at her husband.

Duke Ning smiled and said, "I asked around. It's really amazing that he has achieved such great results at such a young age."

The Duke's wife smiled. Her husband was trying to find out, which meant there was a way. After dinner, the Duke's wife said, "I thought you would refuse directly."

Duke Ning, "I told you, I want to find out."

At this time, the emperor came in and said, "Today, Lord Liu went to Lord Zhou's house, and Lord Zhou's maid went to the Marquis's house."

Duke Ning smiled, "It's just as I guessed. It seems that the youngest son of the Liu family is indeed good."

The Duke's wife rolled her eyes in her heart, she didn't even know when someone was sent to inquire!

The next day, after the morning court session ended, Zhou Shuren walked up to Lord Zhu and said, "Lord Zhu."

Lord Zhu narrowed his eyes. He had been keeping an eye on the Liu family, so he naturally knew where Liu Jing had gone yesterday. "Don't you think Lord Zhou is meddling too much?"

Zhou Shuren didn't care about Zhu's tone at all, "There's nothing I can do. After all, they are relatives by marriage."

Lord Zhu sneered, "Lord Zhou is not lenient at all."

Zhou Shuren sighed, "Who told me that the Ministry of Revenue has so many things to do? I am very busy."

Lord Zhu snorted, "Since Lord Zhou is busy, please go back immediately. I have something to do, so I will go first."

Zhou Shuren achieved his goal, and he said a few words just to save his life for a few days.

Mr. Wang came over and asked, "How did you provoke him?"

Zhou Shuren did not explain, but asked, "Master, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

When Master Wang saw the ministers around him, he whispered, "I recently got news that the Fourth Prince is looking for the descendants of the Rong family, so I'm telling you this."

Zhou Shuren blinked, "Why did you find the descendants of the Rong family?"

Master Wang stroked his beard, "Because the emperor cares a lot about the Rong family, you are often summoned. Is there no news?"

Zhou Shuren, "......"

He said he was giving him a reminder, but in fact he was just asking him for information.

Old Master Wang is very concerned about the changes in power in the capital. Although it is chaotic now, it can be considered balanced. However, if the Rong family really has descendants, it will be different.

Zhou Shuren, "My dear, I really don't know the news. The emperor rarely mentions the Rong family in front of me."

Most of them are just his words.

Old Master Wang felt regretful. Zhou Shuren would not lie to him. If he did not want to answer, he would change the subject like he did just now. He patted Zhou Shuren on the shoulder and said, "In fact, I think you are good at talking. Talk to the emperor often. The emperor will be happy."

Zhou Shuren, haha, you are really subtle, you just mean that he is thick-skinned and afraid of horses!
