Chapter 1401 Left and Right Guardians
Shangguan Liu naturally knew this, because he and Zhou Mingrui were in similar situations, so he was more curious about Zhou Mingrui. "I've heard a lot about you. Mr. Zhou is indeed handsome."
Ming Rui was speechless, "Mr. Shangguan, you can look at your own appearance. The truly handsome one should be Mr. Shangguan."
What kind of list is this in the capital? Above him is Master Shangguan. Everyone knows who he is. He also has a nice nickname, Master Liuli!
The Wang family, after the female official left, the Wang family didn't have to choose. There was only one suitable girl, Wang Yun, the illegitimate daughter of the third room. If Wang Hua was not engaged, the most suitable one would be Wang Hua, the legitimate daughter of the second room. Unfortunately, Wang Hua was engaged, and the pie in the sky fell on Wang Yun's head.
The third house was very excited. Wang Hua would be able to find a good marriage after entering the palace for a few days. If she could get the Empress Dowager's praise, her future marriage would be even better.
The second wife looked unhappy. She had not only failed to gain anything but also lost the rice. Now she had lost all the chances of improving her status.
Tao and Yu Lu walked back. Tao returned to her own courtyard and smiled sarcastically, "It's right, let the second wife do it, now the third wife is getting the advantage."
Yu Lu also sighed, no one could predict the future, "Grandma, this pie is not easy to catch. My grandma said that if a pie falls from the sky, don't try to catch it without a strong head, or you will be crushed to death. What do you think of Wang Yun's character?"
She really didn't worry about Wang Yun. She was worried whether Wang Yun would get involved in the Wang family. Her grandmother had told her many times that some girls were more lethal than boys when it came to harming their own families.
Tao stopped laughing. "Our Wang family has always been neutral. This time it is indeed abnormal. Normally, our Wang family girl should not be here."
Yu Lu, "The ancestors left Wang Yun behind, and they would probably punish her."
Tao pressed her forehead and said, "I just hope she doesn't get into trouble. However, Wang Yun is smarter than Wang Hua. She should know that she will have a good future only if she leaves the palace honestly."
If there were many girls in the Wang family, she really would not let Wang Yun go, and would choose someone younger.
Yu Lu's belly was quite big, so she went back to her own yard to rest after sitting for a while. Halfway there, she saw Third Grandma and Wang Yun. The two were walking towards Grandma's yard to withdraw money for entering the palace.
Yu Lu returned to the yard, and Wang Wei also came back. Yu Lu said, "Look at you, you are sweating."
Wang Wei took his wife's handkerchief and said, "I've been to several places today, and I was a little anxious to come back. Are you tired, my wife?"
"I'm not tired, but you have been busy with clan affairs these days."
Wang Wei, "Rest now and get in touch with more clan affairs, so you can get started faster in the future."
Yu Lu feels sorry for her husband. There aren't many major events in the clan, most of them are trivial matters. A large family means a lot of things to do.
At Zhou's house, Zhulan called Yujiao and personally reminded her, "Remember what grandma said when you enter the palace. Don't look, don't listen, don't ask, and don't speak. When you enter the palace, you must forget that you have ears, eyes, and a mouth."
Yujiao took note of it seriously, "My granddaughter has remembered it."
Zhulan pointed at her granddaughter's heart again and said, "You should also keep your curiosity at home. Curiosity will kill you quickly in the palace."
Yu Jiao was still young after all, so she shrank her neck and said, "My granddaughter is not curious, she will follow the princess's cousin."
Zhulan, "Your family has brought you a lot of money. Be generous to the palace maids who take care of you. Little ghosts are hard to deal with. There are many little ghosts in the palace. Grandma knows that you are a smart child. You will make good use of the money you brought into the palace, right?"
Yujiao blinked her eyes. She was very good at spending money. "Yes, my granddaughter knows how to appreciate money."
Zhu Lan touched Yu Jiao's head and said, "Don't be afraid if others bully you. Your grandfather is the Minister of Finance, and your father will be promoted next year. You have the confidence."
Yu Jiao, "I still have my cousin Lin Xi, she will protect me."
"Yes, you have a princess cousin, and your aunt is the Princess of Qin. You should be tough when necessary."
Yujiao was originally very excited about entering the palace, but after hearing what her grandmother said, the little girl didn't want to enter the palace anymore. Although her elder sister controlled her in every way at home, she was most comfortable when she was not studying.
In Xi County, in order not to highlight the identity of the prince, the four people who went out on the street walked side by side. Mingrui and Shangguan Liu were the best looking, and the prince was not bad either. Wenxu's appearance did not keep up with the average appearance, so they looked at them and directly ignored Wenxu.
Wen Xu was very angry. He thought he looked good, but the two people beside him looked better. He secretly hated himself and decided not to go out with these two people next time.
The prince smiled widely, and really thought that the person was chosen because of his relationship with him. Not only that, but also because of his appearance. If he looked better than him, he would naturally attract more attention, and he could reduce the sense of presence that Minister Zhou mentioned.
As for Wen Xu being injured, the prince didn't care. If it wasn't for the difficulty of abandoning her maternal family, he would not have wanted to bring Wen Xu out.
There was some commotion in front, the prince raised his eyebrows and took a step back, so that Mingrui and Shangguan Liu's positions became more conspicuous.
Mingrui and the other two noticed it. What could they do? They couldn't hide, so they could only stop the prince.
The crowd in front dispersed, and a teenage girl was pulled by a strong man, shouting for help.
The strong man said with a fierce and evil look, "You just come back with me obediently. Today is the day of our engagement."
The girl cried bitterly, "You forced my father to marry you, and you want my family's wealth. I don't want to be engaged."
The onlookers were talking a lot, but unfortunately no one came forward. Don't expect anyone to be kind.
The girl looked around and saw Shangguan Liu running towards her desperately, "Master, Master, help me, Master, save me."
Mingrui covered his mouth with a fan and wanted to laugh.
Shangguan Liu rolled his eyes in an indecent manner, "Girl, look at me, I am a weak scholar with no ability to carry anything. I cannot beat a strong man, so please don't hurt me."
Mingrui and the prince were speechless. This man, Master Liuli, had a hard heart.
The girl was stunned. "I, I don't want to harm you, sir. I have no choice. My father is seriously ill and has been forced to live. I can't live anymore. Please save my life. As long as you save my life, I am willing to be your slave."
Shangguan Liu, "You can't do it, you are too ugly, the maidservant beside me has to be better looking than me, you can't do it."
The tone of his voice was full of disgust, as if the woman in front of him was really ugly!
Mingrui, "......"
Prince, "......"
This is his future uncle, very nice and with a great personality!
The people watching the show were all stunned. What other reason could there be? Well, this young man was indeed handsome.
Shangguan Liu continued, "My father told me that when I encounter difficulties, I should face them head-on instead of losing my nerve. Don't be afraid, young lady. Although you are not good-looking, I do good deeds every day. I have already reported it to the authorities. If someone really forced you, the county magistrate will give you justice."
The prince was waving a fan. This was the reason why the second uncle stayed in Xi County. Knowing that he had left the capital, he did not dare to paint his portrait. He could only say that the prince was good-looking, and ended up painting Shangguan Liu.
The prince looked at Zhou Mingrui and Shangguan Liu with sparkling eyes. These two are very good!
Mingrui looked left and right but didn't find anything, but he had a bad feeling!
