Chapter 1278 I Know You Are Jealous

Mingyun thought so too. He had heard his grandfather talk about Zhao Bo a lot, so he had a good impression of the Zhao family. This time, his good impression was completely gone. "The elders of the Zhao family died one after another, and there were not many descendants who were successful. They also wanted to maintain the family's status in Pingzhou City, so they had evil thoughts."

Jiang Du, "The Zhao family is using Lord Zhao, who is connected to my grandfather. They have calculated very well. If their plan succeeds, even if you are angry, you will not break up with Lord Zhao out of consideration. In fact, their plan is perfect. They use their friendship over the years, so it is easy to succeed in one fell swoop."

Mingyun thought about what happened yesterday, and the anger in his heart disappeared. "Yesterday, the girl from the Zhao family sprained her ankle. They should be engaged in the next few days."

Jiang Du smiled. The girl from the Zhao family got lost, but she didn't expect that her cousin and he were very alert. There were people all around them. She wanted to take advantage of her sprained ankle, but it turned out that her cousin and he both practiced martial arts. Although they were not proficient, their reaction speed was particularly fast.

He and his cousin avoided it, but some people accepted it happily. The Zhao family had fallen into decline in the eyes of the Zhou family, but was still powerful in the eyes of some students. This time the Zhao family was embarrassed and also angered my grandfather, who was very petty.

The next day, Qi brought Ran Wan to the mansion. Zhu Lan knew at a glance that they were also worried about Ming Yun. "The news has not yet reached the capital."

Qi looked at her granddaughter with the remaining eyes, and Ran Wan's cheeks turned red. She couldn't help but whisper in her grandmother's ear, which was why her grandmother brought her here.

Zhulan had a smile in her eyes, she liked Ran Wan. It was said that nieces resembled their aunts, and it was true. Ran Wan's personality was very similar to Ran Yan's. She was a very smart child and could be the eldest grandson's wife of the Zhou family.

Zhulan waited for Qingxue to take out the box, opened it personally and said to Ranwan: "The Xu family brought back some jewelry from overseas, I think it's a good idea to keep some, these two bracelets are very nice, I'll leave a pair for you, do you like them?"

Ran Wan felt even more embarrassed, because she came here because she was thinking about Mingyun, not to clean up.

In fact, she was glad that her granddaughter had caught Yang's eye. It would be easy for her to get along with her mother-in-law after she married into Yang's family. Yang also liked her. All she had to do was live a good life with Mingyun. She pushed her granddaughter and said, "Take what Grandma Yang gave you."

Ran Wan stood up and said, "Thank you, Grandma Yang."

Zhulan said happily, "I just hope I can just drop my last name and call me grandma!"

Ran Wan felt her cheeks burning. Qi knew her granddaughter was shy and said, "Stop teasing her."

Zhulan also knew her limits, "Okay, okay, I won't say any more."

Ran Wan sat back in the chair, the heat on her cheeks still hadn't subsided. She had been preparing her trousseau since she was a child. Because of Mingyun's outstanding grades, her grandfather and uncle were very happy, so her trousseau became a little heavier, and her grandmother also added some of her trousseau to her.

Now they were just waiting for Mingyun to return to Beijing, and they would set a date. Ran Wan's cheeks were getting redder and redder.

Steward Ding came running in, shouting, "Great news! The eldest son is the third place winner."

Zhulan was also excited. The Zhou family had never produced a top three winner. "Good, good, it's really a great thing."

Zhulan was so happy that the servants' monthly salary doubled.

Qi was already satisfied with her grandson-in-law. Now holding her granddaughter's hand, Ran Wan felt very lucky. "Oh, I won't stay here anymore. My family is waiting for news too!"

Zhulan said cheerfully, "Okay, then I won't keep you any longer."

Qi took Ran Wan away, and Li and others also came to the main courtyard. Li grinned, "Mother, Mingyun really brought honor to our family."

Zhulan, "You are indeed very impressive."

Zhao congratulated her eldest sister-in-law and said, "Mother, our relatives don't even know about this great event!"

Zhulan, "Go arrange for someone to notify the news."

In the Qin Palace, when Xue Han learned the news, she was composing music with her mother, while the retired emperor and the crown prince were playing chess nearby.

Xue Han gave a reward to the manager who delivered the message. Xue Han's first words were, "Ming Yun really lived up to his father's teachings."

In Xue Han's heart, Mingyun deserved the title of third place. Why? Because Mingyun was the only one in the family who was always taught by his father. With the occasional teaching from his third and fourth brothers, Mingyun was supposed to be so outstanding.

Xue Han is much more confident than her parents.

The Emperor stroked his beard and said, "Then shouldn't I be looking forward to winning the Grand Prize?"

Xue Han's expression froze. No, father, don't expect it. There is a huge difference between the Small Sanyuan and the Big Sanyuan. One is for a small range, and the other is for the whole country!

The Queen Mother burst out laughing and glared at her husband, "Okay, stop teasing the child."

The retired emperor was indeed looking forward to it, but his wife protected her daughter-in-law very closely.

The young prince was very excited. "Master Zhou's eldest grandson is so outstanding. He must have inherited Master Zhou's true teachings. He is the pillar of the country."

After a pause, he continued, "My little aunt has many nephews, and I heard they are all good."

That’s great! It would be great if everyone could learn from Master Zhou.

Xue Han's eyes changed when she saw the little prince. Is he trying to catch sheep from Zhou family's sheep pen?

The Emperor stroked his grandson's hair and said, "Haha."

Zhulan also knew Jiang Du's results. He was fourth. Jiang Du was indeed much worse than Mingyun.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren hummed a tune. The third generation of the Zhou family stood up and saw Qiu Yan coming in. "My eldest grandson is going back to Beijing."

When Qiu Yan heard this, he asked, "The results have been sent back?"

Zhou Shuren said modestly, "Yes, it has been delivered. It is the top case again."

Qiu Yan's congratulations were choked back. He should have just said "first place in the case". Why add "again"? It's just showing off. It's just that your family is amazing. You've won the third place.

Zhou Shuren stared at Qiu Yan. What could Qiu Yan do? Thinking of his useless grandson, Qiu Yan had always used reason to educate his children. This time he wanted to use a stick. He felt as if he was jealous, but he still had to say, "Congratulations."

Zhou Shuren was satisfied, and the curve of his lips was not reserved at all.

Later, those who came to see the Shangshu from the Ministry of Revenue all knew that the Shangshu's eldest grandson was the third place in the imperial examination.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said to Zhang Jinghong, "I will prepare a treat when I am on leave. You can come too."

Zhang Jinghong laughed in his heart. At this moment, Lord Zhou was just a grandfather showing off his grandson. Master Mingyun was indeed very capable. If his son was so capable, he would also show off. "Okay."

Zhou Shuren has already taken out a piece of paper and written down the list. Well, he wants to invite everyone. Now he doesn't have to be timid and low-key anymore. He has the confidence to show off.

The next day, after the morning court session, Zhou Shuren personally invited everyone on the list one by one.

Li Zhao was not that envious, as his grandson was not bad either.

When Zhou Shuren got the news that everyone had returned, he saw the sour face of Mr. Ding. Oh, by the way, Mr. Ding’s grandson also took part in this year’s Tongsheng examination.

Mr. Ding said sourly, "There are so many geniuses who flash by, it's better to keep a low profile."

Zhou Shuren was not angry, but smiled, "My grandson is Xiao Sanyuan, I know you are jealous."

Bachelor of Ting University, "......"

I'm so angry. I feel sour, but I'm also very jealous.
