Chapter 811: A Marriage Destined

At the Ningguo Duke's Mansion, the Ningguo Duke looked at the rankings of his two great-grandsons. Ning Zhao's rank was relatively high, and Ning Ming was not in the B class, but his ranking was also relatively high. Both grandsons did not make it into the top five.

Duke Ning asked, "What are the rankings of the Zhou family?"

Ning Zhao was sad. He studied very hard, but still didn't make it into the top five. "Sun'er found out that Mingyun ranked first in Class A, Mingrui ranked fifth in Class B, and Mingteng ranked in the middle."

Duke Ning sighed, "Lord Zhou really knows how to educate his grandson."

Zhou Mingteng, he didn't take it seriously. This child's talent was on the lower side in Class B, and it was not easy for him to maintain his current grades.

Ning Hui was not satisfied with the performance of his grandsons, especially the eldest, but he was not good at studying. The eldest son did not have much talent either. The youngest son did have talent, but he had never taken the imperial examinations, so just being able to study would not be enough.

Ning Hui thought of what his youngest son had said, "Dad, we can't think about Lord Zhou anymore, but Rongchuan was taught by Lord Zhou. What do you think? Let Rongchuan give Ning Zhao and Ning Ming some guidance when he has time?"

Duke Ning had thought of this a long time ago, "Well, it would be nice to have some pointers."

The next day, Zhou Shuren felt comfortable not having to get up early, so he did not leave in a hurry after breakfast. He waited for a while before getting on the carriage to go to the Ministry of Works to meet with the prince.

It was an hour later when I met the third prince.

Zhang Jingshi was in a bad mood. Even though the plan went smoothly, he cursed Lao Si in his heart. Lao Si went to Jianghuai and grabbed the Qi family and wouldn't let go until he had to tear off some meat.

Zhang Jingshi said sarcastically, "This place is dirty, it's better for the prince to leave."

The prince said, "Third brother, if you are angry, don't take it out on me. If I were you, I would definitely go back."

Zhang Jingshi smiled with a fake smile, "The Crown Prince is really free in the six ministries. He is so well-informed about the news outside the capital, which shows that the Crown Prince is really free."

The prince walked towards the renovated area and glanced at the third brother calmly, "Who made you unhappy? I am happy!"

Zhang Jingshi wanted to bite the prince, but this person was deliberately trying to irritate him. "It's better for the prince to leave. Don't get hurt. I can't take the responsibility."

Zhou Shuren had no interest in listening to the quarrel between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. He was more concerned about the area being renovated. He also heard that the Third Prince was squatting here every day and was very dedicated to his job. The current progress could be made in recent days, which showed that the Third Prince was quite capable.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "The emperor's offspring are all capable, but it's a pity that he only has one prince."

The prince had already looked at the planned area, which was neat and spacious, not inferior to the inner city at all. He turned to Zhou Shuren and said, "I am looking forward to the planned appearance of the capital."

Zhang Jingshi, "......."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

Your Highness, the Third Prince's face is turning green!

The prince called the officials from the Ministry of Works again and looked at the design drawings carefully. He imagined how shocking it would be to have the entire capital city planned out and passed on to future generations. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. However, the excitement soon disappeared. This required money, so he had to take it slow.

Zhou Shuren felt a chill on his back when he felt the prince looking at him. Why did he feel that the prince's gaze was meaningful?

At the Ningguo Mansion, the Duke's wife looked at the matched horoscopes and said, "The horoscopes we matched at the beginning were good. This time, Rongchuan's horoscope is correct. It turns out that this is a marriage destined by heaven. Good, good."

The old woman said, "It has been many years since we have seen such a good match. Master Rongchuan and Miss Zhou are a perfect match."

The Duke's wife felt sorry that she couldn't add any more betrothal gifts, so she said to her maid, "Send it to Zhou's house."

The old woman said, "Yes."

Inside the palace, the Empress also looked at the horoscopes. She had found the master who had done the horoscopes. She touched the comments on the horoscopes and smiled, "A good marriage, indeed a good marriage."

The female official said, "Such a good match has not appeared for a long time."

The horoscopes of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were compatible back then, and this time someone even better has come.

The Empress signaled the female official to put away the horoscope. This time she felt more at ease. She was the Empress and was no exception. She hoped that Miss Zhou would be blessed. Her eyes were full of smiles. She hoped that she would have a good marriage. She could rest assured that she would be able to have a good marriage.

In Zheng Palace, the Emperor also knew the matched horoscopes, and felt deeply moved that this was fate. The Zhou family saved Rongchuan and brought him a marriage partner.

However, the emperor paid more attention to Zhou Shuren's horoscope. He believed that Zhou Shuren was a lucky man, and privately asked a master to calculate his fortune. The master did not say much, but only gave him four words: "Stabilize the country and ensure its security."

No matter what else he asked, the master remained silent.

These four words have already said a lot. The only regret is that Zhou Shuren is not young anymore. Although he is younger than him, his health is not as good as his!

Zhou Shuren sat in the carriage, feeling a cool breeze on his back. He had no idea that the emperor was talking about him, let alone that the emperor had secretly calculated his fortune, otherwise it would not have been a cool breeze, but cold sweat.

Who made him travel through time? Zhou Shuren has the same attitude towards some masters and wives, keeping his distance from them!

At the Zhou Mansion, Zhulan looked at the matched horoscopes with a twitching mouth. The lady and Rongchuan were destined to be together, but what about the original male protagonist Yao Zheyu?

However, Zhulan looked at Rongchuan's horoscope, which was a bit off in terms of time, so the horoscopes were not compatible at all. Fortunately, it was good, and this was also the confidence for the daughter to marry into the royal family.

In ancient times, a woman’s horoscope was very important and also affected her status in her husband’s family.

Zhulan thought that nowadays, it seemed that few people would match their horoscopes before getting married. It was indispensable in ancient times, but few people believed in it nowadays. It still depends on oneself.

It is said that although Zhulan has been in ancient times for some years, people still do not attach as much importance to the eight characters as ancient people did.

The Queen should be relieved this time.

In the evening, at the Ningguo Mansion, after dinner, the Ningguo Duke mentioned that he hoped Rongchuan would give guidance to Ning Zhao and Ning Ming.

Rongchuan thought it was a big deal. "Grandpa, even if you didn't say it, I wanted to say it. Dad told me that the Ning family's descendants would all be literary in the future. I kept it in mind and wanted to mention it after we got engaged."

Duke Ning was happy. What he asked for was different from what Rongchuan thought. "Good boy, thank you, Grandpa."

Rong Chuan felt embarrassed, "Grandpa, don't thank me. This is what I should do as an uncle. And if there were no grandchildren, you would have found a master for your nephews."

Rongchuan always remembered Uncle Zhou's words, the importance of family, and he also wanted to cultivate Ning Zhao and Ning Ming well. This is the future of the Ning family, especially Brother Zhixiang's son Ning Ming. This is Brother Zhixiang's hope.

Duke Ning shook his head, "Grandpa can indeed help them find a master, but it's hard to find one that suits their taste."

Rongchuan understood that the Ningguo Mansion was the prince's maternal grandfather's family, and if one move was made, the entire body would be affected. The Ningguo Mansion had a lot to consider.

Duke Ning smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about it. Let's talk about your engagement."

Rongchuan blushed. After looking at the horoscopes, he felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.
