Chapter 666: Really Loose
The prince walked slowly towards the government hall. To be honest, he had never thought that his biological brother would be alive. Now that he had a new biological brother, he should be happy, but why didn't he like Shen Yang?
In Jinzhou Prefecture, Zhou Shuren also received the news. News from the capital city spreads quickly.
Zhou Shuren was still surprised that Rongchuan became the Hanlin editor. The emperor had no intention of recognizing him. Then he thought of Shen Yang. This was the problem. Well, the power behind him had not been grasped, so it was indeed not the time to recognize Rongchuan.
Zhou Shuren was also quite surprised about Chang Lian. He knew that he would benefit from it, but he didn't expect it to be such a big benefit. He also looked at Chang Lian's ranking in the list of Scholars, and thought that this performance was really exceptional. There were so many people who were better than Chang Lian.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. It seemed that this time, the emperor had chosen someone for the prince. The emperor was really a good father to the prince.
After congratulating him, Lord Wang felt a little jealous because his son had bad luck back then!
Zhou Shuren is still being envied today. He was so jealous yesterday that he could smell the sour taste wherever he went today. This time he is completely jealous and envious.
At Zhou Mansion, Xue Han received the news. She was happy for Rongchuan and her third brother, but she also wanted to see Rongchuan. Thinking of Rongchuan, her ears hidden in her hair turned red. They had been separated for some time, and she had been thinking about him all the time.
Li has received a reply from her mother-in-law. Her father-in-law also told the head of the household this morning that she doesn't have to worry about the formal engagement when her mother-in-law comes back. It's a happy event again, so her voice has become louder. "My third brother's wife will be the wife of an official in the future, and she will also have an imperial decree."
Xue Han said sadly, "My third brother will stay in the capital, and we can't live together anymore."
Li didn't care. "Jinzhou is so close to the capital, we can see it whenever we want. I think it's a good thing that our family has a house in the capital, otherwise, we still have to buy a house. It's hard to buy a house in a good location in the capital, and it's not convenient to go to the government office."
Xue Han laughed, "Sister-in-law, Third Brother and Rongchuan are not going to the government office for work. Fortunately, we have a house at home, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go back and forth every day."
Li was not embarrassed. "I am just a rough person. It's good that I can remember the rules. I really don't understand anything else."
Xue Han felt that her sister-in-law lived a very happy life. She lived in the back house and was able to enjoy her life. The big room was the most lively place and she liked to go there sometimes.
Zhao was envious. Mingyun, her eldest sister-in-law's son, was not young anymore, so she didn't have to wait too long. But Mingrui, her own son, was still young, so she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
Now my third brother’s wife has become an official’s wife, and it was my husband who fought for her.
Needless to say, my fourth brother's wife has her own class.
My sister-in-law will also have a decree in the future, but it seems that only she will have to wait for many years, and she doesn’t know whether her son can make it.
Zhao discovered that the second branch was too weak and had very little presence in the entire family. If the family was divided, what would happen to the second branch?
In the blink of an eye, it was evening and Zhulan had already had dinner.
Changzhong asked, "Mom, why haven't my third brother and his wife come back yet?"
Zhulan touched the boy's head and said, "They are attending a dinner party in the palace."
Chang Zhong was still thinking about his third brother and his brother-in-law coming back to hug him. His red clothes looked really nice. He was drooping. "Mom, tell me a story."
Zhulan, "Okay."
Inside the palace, Rong Chuan was the third place winner in the imperial examination. He sat very close to the front. The two times he met the emperor, he didn't dare to look him in the eye. Now that he was so close to him, he was very nervous.
The emperor sat on a chair, holding a wine glass in his hand, and drank several glasses in succession, looking happy.
The emperor called the number one scholar, then the number two scholar, and finally the number three scholar. "The number three scholar, come forward."
Rong Chuan told himself to stay calm, took a deep breath and stepped forward, "I'm here."
The emperor was dissatisfied when he saw Rongchuan lowering his head, and said, "Raise your head."
Rong Chuan could only raise his head and meet the emperor's smiling eyes. He felt a little confused. The emperor was very happy? And he was very kind to him?
The emperor thought to himself, he is finally facing me, this is closer, hmm, he is really good-looking, a third place winner of the imperial examination at this age, he is proud, although the princes are excellent, but the feeling of this one who has passed the exam step by step by himself is different, his son.
The emperor smiled and said, "Give me some wine."
Rong Chuan quickly took the wine glass, "This is a toast to His Majesty."
The emperor was very happy and motioned Rongchuan to sit aside. Rongchuan was a little scared because even the top scholar just now didn't have such treatment!
The emperor waited for Rong Chuan to sit down carefully before saying, "I heard that you are engaged?"
Rong Chuan was nervous, wondering if she wanted to interfere with his marriage, so he quickly stood up and knelt down, "Yes, I have been engaged since I was young, and my fiancée and I have grown up together. I only need to wait two years before I can marry her."
The emperor looked at his son and his words were tentative. He didn't want his son to marry the girl from the Zhou family out of gratitude, so his son was so nervous when he asked at the beginning. Well, this boy likes the girl from the Zhou family, and from the looks of it, he does more than just like her!
He remembered Zhou Shuren's appearance and specially looked for a portrait. Fortunately, the girl looked like her mother.
Rongchuan didn't hear the emperor's reply, and he felt uneasy. The emperor would not interfere in his marriage for no reason, right? Rongchuan thought that the emperor was really idle, why would he want to interfere in his marriage? He didn't feel that it was a big favor at all. He only knew that he would not marry anyone but Xue Han.
The emperor was a man of few words. His son was still young. He felt his son's emotions and was happy. This child was quite temperamental. "I'm just asking. Get up."
Rong Chuan exhaled, his back was sweating, "Yes."
Chang Lian was really scared, but fortunately, fortunately, everything was fine.
The emperor casually said, "You are not young anymore. Since you are engaged, it is better to get married early. Waiting for two years is a bit too long."
Rongchuan was dumbfounded. The emperor was really nosy. He even interfered with when he would get married?
Rongchuan did not dare to refute the emperor, and could only think of replying: "I have not collected enough betrothal gifts yet, I will collect them when I have."
The emperor was silent. In his hand was the investigation information sent by Ningxu. Rongchuan had been saving money and bought a shop by himself. He had saved some money. His son was still short of a betrothal gift. "As for the betrothal gift, you should pay more. Go back."
Rongchuan thought to himself that he also wanted to give more, but he didn't have that much money. When he returned to his seat, Rongchuan was stunned. He was such a careful person, but he had criticized the emperor in his heart more than once. He didn't think he had the skills of his uncle.
Therefore, the emperor must have sensed his emotions just now. Rong Chuan shuddered in his heart. When did he become so courageous? He should be afraid of the emperor, so how could he think that the emperor would not be annoyed with him?
Yes, that was exactly how he felt. In the end, the emperor really didn’t annoy him and spoke to him in a friendly manner.
Rongchuan felt that he must have drunk too much to be so courageous.
