Chapter 641: Lord Wang, I'm so angry

Dong and Zhulan went to the second exam together. This time, Changzhong was not brought along. Zhulan did not get off the carriage, and Dong was willing to stay with her despite the cold.

You have to check every time you enter the examination room, and the queue was a bit long today.

Chang Lian felt sorry for his wife, "You should go back to the car and wait."

Dong looked at the long line, then looked around. There were really not many people accompanying them. She stood out. She swallowed her words of refusal and said, "Okay."

Madam Chang Lian returned to the carriage and withdrew her gaze.

Rong Chuan said, "After the first game, someone got sick."

Chang Lian replied, "Scholars are too weak."

Fortunately, he has always paid attention to exercising. Although he and Rongchuan are tired, they are full of energy again after a day of rest!

Shen Yang, who was standing a few people away, felt particularly depressed. This time he saw clearly that Mr. Zhou San's face was very good, and his wish could not be realized.

Inside the carriage, Mrs. Dong saw her husband enter the examination room and retracted her gaze, "Mom, let's go back."

Zhulan opened her eyes and said, "Okay."

Jinzhou, Zhou Mansion, Changzhi was holding a book and couldn't concentrate on reading, "I'm entering the second round today, I don't know how my third brother and Rongchuan are doing."

Su Xuan was now uncomfortable whether sitting or lying down. If she hadn't been particularly healthy from practicing martial arts, she would have been unable to bear it. She leaned to her side and changed her position. When she felt more comfortable, she said, "It should be smooth. If it wasn't smooth, the capital should have sent a letter back yesterday."

Changzhi put down the book in his hand and said, "I regret not going with you."

Su Xuan rolled her eyes in her heart, "I think you have taught your elder and second brothers enough."

Changzhi was not embarrassed at all, holding the book and covering his head, "These few days, Dad has completely handed over the eldest and second brothers to me. The second brother is better, even if he doesn't like to study, but he is smart. But the eldest brother is not so good, and it makes me angry to death."

Su Xuan curled her lips. Her husband had been very angry these days. Her eldest brother no longer went around her husband and was basically avoiding him. "Don't hold my eldest brother too tightly. My eldest sister-in-law has been coming to my place a lot these days."

Changzhi gritted his teeth. If his father hadn't chosen his elder and second brothers and hadn't come to him when he was not satisfied, he would have given up on his elder brother long ago. He was the one who suffered the most. "When will mother come back?"

Su Xuan burst out laughing. The entire Zhou family was looking forward to her mother-in-law's return!

The next day, Xu Zhao and her daughter-in-law came to visit Zhou's mansion in the capital. Zhu Lan and others sat down and asked, "How did you know I was in the capital?"

Xu Zhao explained, "We just found out that Qi has been communicating with your eldest daughter-in-law. If we had known earlier, we would have come to visit."

After all, the Zhou family has done a great favor to the Xu family.

Zhulan understood, "You come here every time, and you always bring such a heavy gift."

Look at the gift boxes in front of you, a small pile, all of which are silver.

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "These gifts are not very valuable. They are the Xu family's thoughts. We also wish in advance that the third son of the Zhou family can pass the imperial examination."

After hearing this, Zhulan could only thank him, "I also heard some news about you in the capital. Now it seems that everything is fine in the Xu Mansion."

Xu Zhao is now very relieved, "I have someone to rely on and I am no longer a floating duckweed. The Xu family can be what it is today thanks to Lord Zhou."

Zhulan looked at the girl beside Xu Zhaoshi, who looked about ten years old. She was graceful even though she was a merchant. "Is this your granddaughter?"

Xu Zhao curled her lips and said, "Yes, I brought her out this year to broaden her horizons. She is ten years old this year, Xu Li."

The little girl hurriedly greeted the luggage and said, "Hello, Madam."

Zhulan winked at Mrs. Song, who quickly brought out the jewelry. Zhulan smiled and said, "I came here in a hurry, and there's nothing good here. This pair of shawls is pretty good."

Xu Zhaoshi, "Thank you, Madam."

Afterwards, Zhulan learned about the news in the capital through Xu Zhaoshi. Among the merchants that Xu Zhaoshi came into contact with, news spread particularly quickly. In addition, due to their social status, the circle of merchants' families was actually more gossipy.

Zhulan sent Xu Zhao away and digested the news she had heard. The first piece of news was that Lord Ning, who had regained his status, would not marry. This piece of news has been very popular and has never faded. A single Lord Ning, even if he is old, is still a popular commodity.

The second piece of news is closely related to business, and some policies have been relaxed.

In the imperial harem of the capital, the queen handed the portrait to her third brother, "I have researched all of these. Last time you said they were too young, so this time they are all older, good-looking, and from good families."

Ning Xu said without looking at the portrait, "At my age, I have wasted my time with these girls."

The queen felt upset. "Third brother is not very old. Third brother, if you think these are still too young, I will find more for you."

As long as her third brother is willing to get married, she is willing to give in even though she has already been married.

Ning Xu looked at his sister who was only trying to compensate him and felt a headache. "You don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. The Ning family is also seeking wealth and a better life."

He knew that his sister felt the most guilty about her elder brother's death, and he felt the worst about the way she was doing.

The Queen sat on the chair. The Third Brother said nice things, but without her, the Ning Mansion would not have paid everything. The eldest brother's life, the second brother's injury, the third brother's fake death, "Brother."

This is the brother who is closest to her in age. They are only one and a half years apart in age. It would be best if they grew up together!

Ning Xu felt that he could no longer hide the truth from his sister. Even though they had not seen each other for many years, his sister would not change her mind once she made up her mind. It was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, lest all his efforts would be in vain and he would be even more devastated. So he told her that he could not have children.

The queen was stunned, her heart burning with anger, sorrow, and guilt. Finally, she closed her eyes and said, "I understand. I don't care anymore."

What qualifications does she have to care and interfere in Third Brother's affairs?

Ning Xu opened her mouth, but finally sighed, "We all hope you'll be fine."

Time passed quickly and the second exam was over. After a day of rest, it was the last and most crucial exam.

Even Zhulan was extremely cautious and nervous at this moment, as this was the most critical step.

In Jinzhou Prefecture, Lord Wang asked, "Lord Zhou, is the Third Young Master in good health?"

Zhou Shuren didn't even raise his head, "Not bad."

Lord Wang originally thought that he would hear the news that Mr. Zhou was ill on Wednesday, but he didn't expect that he didn't hear any news after the two games were over. He was also very concerned about him and specially asked his master to pay attention to it. Now looking at Lord Zhou, he felt that he had been deceived by Lord Zhou.

Zhou Shuren was blocked from view and raised his head, "Why didn't you leave?"

Lord Wang, "Sir, Mr. Zhou San is not sick at all!"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I think you should have guessed it long ago."

The second game is over already. I really have health problems and it will be hard for me to get through the second game!

Lord Wang, "......."

Admit it, admit it, I’m so angry!
