Chapter 896: Weak Will

In the capital, Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shuren instructed Jinyan to investigate the situation of the Gu family, especially the past of Lord Gu who was about to come to the capital, and Gu Liufeng's grandfather's branch, which would be related to Liufeng in the future.

These are inevitable. As long as Liu Feng's career goes smoothly, he will come into contact with them sooner or later.

After Jianyan left, Zhou Shuren went to the study with his hands behind his back. It had been a long time since he checked on his grandchildren's homework. It was a rare opportunity to have all the free time at the end of the year. Zhou Shuren remembered that there would be a big exam before the college closed for the day.

In the study room, Mingyun looked at his younger brother helplessly, "Mingteng, if you have the energy to care about what gifts I received, you should focus more on your studies. The college is about to have a year-end break, and the final exam is not easy."

Ming Teng is a gossiper. Today, Ran Xun gave his eldest brother a box, saying it was from his future sister-in-law. He wanted to see what was in it, but Ran Xun refused to tell him. Breaking off the friendship is not a threat to the younger buddy, so he can only ask his eldest brother.

Mingrui also moved his ears, there was nothing he could do, this was the first time his elder brother received a gift from a woman from another family, and also a gift from his future sister-in-law.

Zhou Shuren stood at the door and wanted to push it, but stopped. Well, he also wanted to know. He never thought that his eldest grandson was so capable that he actually gave the girl the first gift!

Mingyun gritted his teeth. If he didn't tell him, Mingteng would not give up. "The thread used for the jade pendant."

Ming Teng was a little disappointed, "No more?"

"What do you think it is?"

Ming Teng laughed dryly. He thought it was something more meaningful, but it turned out to be just a clue.

Mingrui curled his eyes and smiled like a little fox, "If you are jealous, you can talk to the future second sister-in-law. Although the future second sister-in-law is not good at needlework, I think she should be able to tie the knot."

Ming Teng blushed and waved his hands, "What do you know, you little brat?"

Mingrui rolled his eyes, he knew a lot.

Ming Teng thought of Liu Jia. After the engagement, his days of rest were miserable. He was always dragged out by his future uncle, who cheated him a lot!

As for Liu Jia's needlework, this girl is really not pretending, she really has the knack for needlework!

Zhou Shuren coughed and pushed the door open, "What are you talking about?"

Ming Teng was furious when he saw Grandpa. How long had Grandpa been standing outside the door? How much did Grandpa hear?

Mingyun blushed slightly, and didn't say anything about it. She asked, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Zhou Shuren walked to the bookshelf and took a book. "I will test you on your homework today."

Ming Teng, "......."

There are only two words in my mind: finished!

An hour later, Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren coming back and asked, "Why did you stay in the study for so long today?"

Zhou Shuren snorted, "I took a few of my grandsons' exams. Mingyun and Mingrui are both good. Mingteng was distracted a lot and his grades were a little worse."

Zhulan, "You happen to be free recently, so you can take care of it."

Mingteng needs to be tapped frequently. If the leather is loose, just tighten it.

Zhou Shuren hummed, "I didn't think of that either."

The next day, Zhulan went out to meet Tao personally and held Tao's hand affectionately. "Ever since you wrote that you would return to Beijing early, I have been looking forward to your return. Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

When Tao came, she was still a little nervous. Lord Zhou was highly valued by the Emperor and was now a third-rank official. She was worried about Yang's attitude, but now she is completely relieved. Yang is still the same Yang as before. "I also wanted to return to Beijing earlier. Who would have thought that my baby would be sick."

Zhulan asked, "Are you completely fine now?"

Tao nodded, "Okay, okay, you don't know, my husband and I were really scared. Wei'er had a high fever and I wanted to die at that time."

Zhulan patted Tao's hand. Tao had been looking forward to this child for too long. "Now that this hurdle has been overcome, he will be healthy and have smooth sailing in the future."

Tao smiled and said, "I always love to hear your words."

Zhulan was amused, "Then I'll say more?"

Tao laughed, "I don't want to hear you say that now. I want to take a good look at Yulu. It's been a long time since we last met. Yulu has grown a lot taller."

Yu Lu had been following Grandma all along, and after greeting her, she said, "I've met Madam Gong."

Tao held Yu Lu's hand, this is her future granddaughter-in-law, "Originally I wanted to bring Wang Wei with me, but I can't come because of the clan school exam today."

Yu Lu has a calm personality, but when she heard her fiancé's name, her chubby face turned red, and when she lowered her head, you could see that her ears had also changed color.

Zhulan pulled her granddaughter over and said, "I think you are here to bully my granddaughter."

The little girl is thin-skinned, Tao must have done it on purpose.

Of course, Mrs. Tao did it on purpose. She hoped that her grandson and Yu Lu could have more contact with each other. Unfortunately, her grandson had heavy schoolwork and her father-in-law was always with him, so her grandson could not come over. She said a few more words and also hoped that her grandson's wife would keep her grandson in mind in the future.

Mrs. Tao was very satisfied with Yu Lu. When she arrived in the capital, her mother-in-law told her that Yu Lu had a good reputation in the capital. Now that she saw the little girl had grown up a little, she loved her even more.

In the academy, Mingyun was holding the invitation, and Liufeng came over and asked, "Who gave you the invitation?"

Mingyun played with the invitation, "It was from Liu Qi, it was quite formal, saying that he wanted me to go appreciate paintings after the New Year."

Liu Feng, "You don't want to go?"

Mingyun clicked on the post and said, "I really don't want to go, but it's already been delivered to me, and I can't not go."

Liu Feng thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to, just find a reason."

Mingyun shook his head, "I still have to go."

Liu Feng hummed, then became absent-minded. His cousin was going to Beijing, and he knew very little about the relatives on his grandfather's side. If it weren't for this letter, his mother wouldn't have mentioned it.

Liu Feng lowered his head and read the book. He felt a little confused. He knew that his cousin's coming to Beijing would definitely bring changes to his life.

In Class B, Ran Xun stared at Ming Teng, who was lying on the table. "You don't look right. You looked like you were dying since this morning. Were you bullied by your brother?"

Ming Teng was too lazy to pay attention to Ran Xun, who would not stop until he got to the bottom of something. He turned around and looked at Jiang Du.

Jiang Du also disappointed Ran Xun, "Grandpa took the Mingteng course exam yesterday."

Ran Xun pulled the corner of his mouth. He was also afraid of Master Zhou and shuddered. "Ming Teng's academic performance is not good, but it has nothing to do with me. It's all because of Ming Teng's own weakness!"

Ming Teng's eyes widened. He didn't say that bad company breeds bad people, but this grandson pushed it to him instead. "Sure, Master Ran!"

Ran Xun blinked his eyes, "I will stay away from you for a while in the future, I can't let you lead me astray."

Ming Teng was about to vomit blood, "We must break off the friendship."

Ran Xun was extremely happy in his heart, and it showed on his face, "If we're going to break up, then we're done."

As long as Lord Zhou doesn't miss me, it's okay to break up with him for a while!
