Chapter 1335: Terrible Words

Changyi had no time to think about his son-in-law. He wanted to test his son-in-law today, but he heard about his sons. Mingrui was the eldest son, his hope. He had two sons, and he invested all his efforts in Mingrui.

They continued chatting, "Why does Zhou Mingrui need to take the imperial examination? He has such a pretty face that he can just marry a county lord and live off him."

"Haha, you're jealous!"

Liu Feng's face also darkened. These people were going too far. He knew best how hard Mingrui had worked. Among the Zhou family's grandchildren, Mingyun was the eldest grandson. The eldest branch would have a title. As long as Mingyun worked hard to make a name for himself, there would be no need to worry about his future.

Not to mention Mingteng, they still have to work hard for the future, Mingteng went straight to the finish line.

Mingrui has two outstanding older brothers. He is the eldest son of the second wife. The pressure can be imagined. Mingrui is meticulous and is actually the hardest working one in the Zhou family.

The fighting spirit of my father-in-law was passed on to Mingrui. These people were jealous of Mingrui's looks and their words were very vicious.

Liu Feng turned his head. He really didn't recognize them. After getting married, his uncle also returned to Beijing. His uncle was promoted and took him to meet more people. As the eldest grandson and son-in-law of the Zhou family, he made friends with many people, so the people in front of him were not of high birth.

Liu Feng suddenly turned around, startling several people.

Liu Feng's eyes were filled with sarcasm. How dare he talk about others in front of a large audience? "I think everyone should have good manners, especially in public. What do you think?"

Luo Zhen's face flushed and quickly turned black, "Who are you? What does our conversation have to do with you?"

Liu Feng, "Let me introduce myself. The people who were talking just now happened to be my brother-in-law. Do you think it has anything to do with me?"

Luo Zhen's face turned pale this time. He and Zhou Mingrui were in the same academy. He was five years older than Zhou Mingrui and was always outshined by Zhou Mingrui in every test. Zhou Mingrui was good-looking, so he couldn't help but feel jealous. That was why he kept talking more and more without restraint. He only dared to talk about it behind her back.

Chang Yi choked back what he was about to say. Looking at the frightened people, he was too lazy to speak. He turned his head and said, "Let's go."

Liu Feng felt the intimacy in the tone, and his father-in-law recognized him, "Father-in-law, shall we stop watching?"

Chang Yi snorted, "No, let's go."

Luo Zhen was dumbfounded. This was Zhou Mingrui's father, the doctor from the Ministry of Rites who had just returned from a diplomatic mission. He wanted to cry but had no tears. His grandmother had always said that he had a bad mouth and that misfortune comes from the mouth, but he had never taken it to heart. What should he do now?

At the Zhou family, Zhulan brought several daughters-in-law to choose clothes and jewelry for Yudie, Yuyi and Yuwen to enter the palace.

The Queen Mother invited the three girls from the Zhou family at once. Yudie came because of Changyi. Changyi had made great contributions, so Yudie was naturally on the list.

Yuyi is also important because her father, Changlian, is valued by the emperor, so Yuyi will not be left out.

Yuwen was the companion. It was no secret in the royal family that this girl was lazy. The three girls were about the same age, and it would not be good without Yuwen, so she was also on the list.

Su Xuan was relieved about her daughter because Yu Yi was also going. She thought of something and said, "Mother, the family of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family also has ambitions to be the crown princess."

Zhao interrupted, "I was wondering why the Qi family's granddaughter has suddenly become famous in the capital in the past two years. It turns out that she is eyeing the position of Crown Princess."

Su Xuan whispered, "If it weren't for the fact that the Wen family couldn't have produced two queens, the Wen family wouldn't have let go of the position of Crown Princess."

Li said, "The Qi family must have the support of the Wen family!"

Su Xuan smiled, "Sister-in-law has been bleeding all the time. The Wen family wants too much, which is not good."

Zhao sighed, "At the same time, the Ning family has always been low-key and has never been looked down upon. The Wen family is too high-profile."

Zhu Lan concluded, "It's not that he's high-profile, but that he's too greedy. The Wen family's eldest grandson is mediocre, and now he's like an invisible man. Originally, being the eldest was his confidence, but the Wen family's resources have robbed him of his confidence, so the eldest grandson can't suppress his younger brother, and there are many legitimate children. Now the resources are leaning towards the fourth son of the Wen family, and the other branches are unwilling to accept it and want more, so they're taking more actions."

Li, "I think it's still Elder Wen's fault. The eldest grandson of the Ning family was also mediocre. His position has never been shaken, and he never tilted resources towards Ning Zhixiang. The Ning family is so stable. Now look at the Wen family."

Was it difficult for the Duke of Ning to arrange an official position for the frail Ning Zhixiang? It was not difficult, but the Duke of Ning did not do so, knowing that his second grandson was smart.

As for her own family, she and her husband know their own limitations. Her husband does not have the abilities of his younger brothers, but his parents have always stood behind him, teaching his younger brothers what it means to be the eldest brother and what it means for brothers to be united. Of course, they also try very hard to learn, and compliments from brothers are mutual. Their mother has always said that only when the family is united can everything prosper.

Zhulan was relieved. She had taught Li little by little, and except for her background, she felt that Li was no worse than the mistress of the wealthy family.

It's rainy this summer, and after a while, the rain started falling again.

Zhao looked out the window worriedly, "I wonder where my husband took Liu Feng. It's raining heavily."

Zhulan had noticed Zhao's attire a long time ago. Today's attire was more colorful. Her husband was different when he was at home. "Don't worry about them. They are so grown up that they know what's going on."

As a result, the horse-drawn carriage parking lot is quite far away from the horse farm. I didn't bring an umbrella with me today, and it started raining halfway through my walk.

Chang Yi frowned, thinking he had made a mistake.

Back in the carriage, Liu Feng took out a handkerchief and handed it to his father-in-law, "Dad, please wipe it first."

Chang Yi didn't take it, "You wipe it first, don't get sick and infect Yu Shuang."

Liu Feng, "......."

I was quite touched at first, but I understood what he said at the end. He had to take care of his wife and couldn't get sick.

Chang Yi took out a spare handkerchief from the carriage and asked, "Are you confident about the imperial examination next year?"

Liu Feng knows what he is doing. "I can't guarantee anything, but I will do my best."

Chang Yi hummed, but didn't finish his words, "Your fourth uncle has a lot of time, so you should look for him more often."

Liu Feng had been without a father since he was young. He was not very close to his uncle Gu Zhuomin because he had a purpose from the beginning. So he wanted to get close to his father-in-law. His father-in-law cared about him. He said happily, "Mingyun also asked me to visit him more often."

The Zhou family's resources were so good that it made people jealous, so he didn't take the rumors seriously at all. Instead, he found the sour words quite interesting after hearing them so many times.

Time flies, and the queen's banquet is held in the Yu Garden. The garden in the palace is very large.

The two sisters Yudie entered the palace. Yuyi was the most nervous. Although Yudie had a calm temperament, she was really afraid of accidents. Yuwen could not let her guard down either.

Yuwen can be as lazy as she wants at home, but she has to pretend to be lazy when she leaves the house. This has led to the fact that all the comments about Yuwen from outside are false and wrong. Among them, it is true that Yuwen is quiet because she is too lazy to speak.

Yuyi thinks it’s not good for her sister to be too smart, because if she is too smart she will be able to see through everything and will be even more reluctant to speak.

Yuyi and the other two arrived at the garden. The Queen had to wait for a while before arriving. Yuyi pulled Yudie and Yuwen aside and said, "If anyone doesn't behave well today, I will be happy to live and eat with him for the next ten days."

Jade Butterfly, "......"

Yuwen, "......"

What kind of horrible words are these? Yuyi is becoming more and more terrifying now. Eating and living together means having the same schedule. Yuyi, who is strict with herself, has to deal with the pretentious Yudie and the lazy Yuwen, haha!

Yudie and Yuwen nodded obediently. They didn’t want to eat, live and have the same schedule with Yuyi. They nodded especially obediently. They were all good kids!
