Chapter 149: Noble

Wu Ming knew his family's background well. People in Dongcheng were all poor, and he didn't have any wealthy relatives.

Shi Qing frowned. He didn't expect that the driver was his stepmother's man, and he didn't expect that Wang Ru, a peasant girl, would make him lose face and almost expose Wang Ru's value.

Originally, he was exploiting Wang Ru in the hope of getting more things that would benefit him, and at the same time, he was using Wang Ru's identity as a peasant girl to paralyze his stepmother. But now, he has to bear the color on his head. Wang Ru is betraying him, which makes him furious.

Shi Qing suppressed his anger. He remembered all the important members of the Zhao family. This family was related to the Zhao family. He said, "My name is Shi Qing. I am sorry for not visiting you. I just found out that my daughter ran away, so I came to pick her up. My daughter comes from a small place. I am sorry for causing trouble today. Please accept my small token of appreciation."

Wu Ming's mind turned several corners. He knew that he was overthinking. He was not in the same group with Zhang Heng. He was also a little confused. This strange girl knew the situation of Uncle Zhou's family and wanted to show him kindness. Who was this strange girl? Seeing Uncle Zhou's indifferent look, Uncle Zhou must know. He would find a chance to ask clearly.

Wu Ming looked distant and polite. "Please take the things back. Please keep an eye on your girl in the future to prevent her from saying nonsense and causing trouble for you."

Finally, he kindly reminded me.

Shi Qing's expression was broken. He knew in his heart that Wang Ru was talking nonsense from time to time, and she embarrassed him again. He was furious, "The things are taken as apology. I will remind her more and I will definitely discipline her more in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant led Wang Ru out.

Zhulan had a good impression of him because of his appearance, but after she found out it was Master Shi, her feelings were completely gone. Looking at Wang Ru whose face turned pale, even though Shi Qing's expression didn't change, she must be very angry in her heart. Her experience told her that the more someone can control their facial expressions, the more scheming they are!

Wu Ming glanced at the box, it was the rhythm of making a fortune today. He found that ever since his grandmother went to Uncle Zhou's house to be a cook, the food in his family had improved. Not only could he eat meat every now and then, but during the days before the exam, because Aunt Zhou was kind-hearted and knew that he would also be taking the exam, he could also drink a bowl of chicken soup every day. Originally, he was worried that he could not withstand the exam due to insufficient nutrition, but he did not expect that with the better food, his body also became much healthier, and he made it through the exam without getting sick.

Now, with the help of Uncle Zhou, he solved Zhang Heng's plan and got thirty taels. He didn't know what was in the wooden box, but he knew it was not cheap. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Uncle Zhou and his family were his benefactors!

Wu Ming turned his head and saw Uncle Zhou nodding slightly. He knew that it was okay to take it, but it also meant to keep him silent. "I will take the things. I will not keep Master Shi any longer as there are many things to do today."

Shi Qing, "Goodbye."

Zhulan watched Shi Qing taking Wang Ru away and touched the bracelet. Shi Qing's way of addressing her was interesting. Girl, even your aunt doesn't want to accept her!

Zhou's family and Zhao Bo's family are in two different directions and they separate when they reach the intersection.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to the backyard. Mingqing had a difficult day and was quite shocked. The kid felt that he was in his twenties but couldn't even perform as well as a fifteen-year-old. He kept silent all the way and went back to his room to relax when he came back.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to the backyard. Zhulan first told her daughter that the Wu family was fine.

Then she returned to the house, only to see that Zhou Shuren had clearly heard the noise, but turned away from Zhulan. Zhulan smiled and asked, "Is Mr. Zhou jealous?"

Zhou Shuren flipped through the book in his hand without answering, his whole body emitting aura of "Come on, coax me!"

Zhu Lan took two steps closer with a smile on her face, and quickly approached Zhou Shuren and kissed him on the cheek, "If someone smiles, how about a kiss?"

Zhou Shuren weighed the pros and cons. No matter how much he flirted, Zhulan would not coax him any more. With a smile in her eyes, she said, "I'll allow you to kiss me for no reason."

Zhulan gritted her teeth, she was still being arrogant, she lowered her head and kissed him again, "Okay, come and help kill the fish."

Zhou Shuren was in a very good mood. Today he was one step closer. He put down the book and coughed, "My appearance is very high now, much better than Shi Qing's pretty boy."

Zhu Lan believed Zhou Shuren's words. When she saved Zhou Shuren, he was wearing glasses, which made him look very handsome. However, after looking at the current Zhou Shuren, she thought, "It's a pity that you are the ancient Zhou Shuren, and you are still a grandfather!"

Zhou Shuren, "........"

Damn ancient times!

At noon, Wu Li came to cook again with a happy face. Zhulan then realized that Shi Qing had sent her twenty taels of silver. With a huge sum of fifty taels in one day, Wu Li was no longer shocked. With this money, she would not have to worry about the expenses for the Wu Ming imperial examination next year, and she could also pay tuition for her two grandsons. Wu Li was very excited.

Moreover, after listening to the analysis of her eldest grandson, Mrs. Wu Li, who was already superstitious, became even more convinced that the Zhou family was a noble family and she could not delay her cooking.

Zhulan chatted with Wu Li and found out that her family's coming to Pingzhou had indeed changed the Wu family a lot. If they hadn't hired a maid named Wu Li to cook, one of their grandsons would have to drop out of school. Considering what happened today, they were indeed considered nobles.

The next day it was time for the college entrance examination, and the candidates took the exam smoothly. Zhulan finally got worried. She knew that Zhou Shuren had been working very hard these days to get the first place. Their family was not short of the four taels of silver per year for the students, but Zhou Shuren wanted to save face!

The college entrance examination was over soon. On the day when the results were announced, Zhulan found that Zhou Shuren was calm again. "I thought you would be nervous!"

Zhou Shuren, "The exam is over. I can't change anything by worrying. I might as well be calm. By the way, have you prepared the wedding money?"

I said this, but in my heart I knew that I must not be second, otherwise it would be more difficult to be first in the future.
