Jiang Jiuniang looked at the sky speechlessly, listening to this, she felt that Prince Jing was quite humble!
However, he was a scoundrel before, otherwise I wouldn't have beaten him up like that.
I bet the girl from that family really wants to hit him right now, but she just doesn't have the same confidence she had back then.
After they had eaten most of the melon, they arrived at the teahouse. The group got out of the car and went inside. Lu Baichuan escorted the two upstairs and settled them in before heading to his office.
It was still early, and the storyteller wasn't ready yet, so the guests were eating melon seeds, snacks, and chatting.
Since she had nothing else to do, Sun asked Jiang Jiuniang curiously, "I heard from Lianhua that you helped resolve Mr. Kang's matter. Do you have any good ideas for Prince Jing?"
Sun had a pretty good impression of Prince Jing. After all, when they moved to the capital to live for a long time, Prince Jing was already a friend of Lu Baichuan and Jiang Jiuniang. She subconsciously categorized Prince Jing as Qin Jian and thought she would help him if she could.
Jiang Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "Not for now. It's a bit difficult with Prince Jing's situation. Given his personality and the things he's done, I doubt any normal girl would like him."
Of course, those die-hard fans are another story.
That's right, Prince Jing has a group of die-hard fans. After all, he's handsome and currently the most promising of the princes. The others hold sinecure positions and don't have much opportunity to perform in front of the emperor. They used to be competitors, and now the emperor doesn't trust them.
But Prince Jing was different. He abandoned Prince Lin and went to the border early on. On the surface, he didn't help anyone and only stood with the old emperor. In fact, he had also pledged allegiance to the current emperor, since the old emperor's choice was his choice.
In addition, he has now made great contributions and has a very good reputation in the capital. Naturally, many women want to marry a prince with such a bright future.
Not only that, some people even got into a fight over it on the spot.
When she first heard this joke, she teased Prince Jing for being such a heartthrob. The man brushed aside non-existent stray hairs from his forehead and smugly told her, "Of course, my charm is as strong as ever."
In his early years, when he had nothing to do in the capital, he had several concubines. Some were bestowed by the old emperor, some were arranged by his mother, and some were given by Prince Lin. He accepted them all, adhering to the principle of not refusing anyone who came.
Anyway, he only had a few concubines, and it wasn't like he couldn't afford to support them. After all, everyone around him, except for Prince Chen who only had one woman at the time, did the same thing, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It wasn't until later that she met Lu Baichuan. All three brothers in this family only had one wife. In order to go against them, she had even gone so far as to investigate the Lu family's background and gain a more thorough understanding of them.
The men in this family are actually taking care of the women during their postpartum period!
They've gone completely mad!
It's said that women who give birth are unlucky and men shouldn't be near them, not even allowed into the delivery room. But the Lu family did the opposite. Not only did they not enter the delivery room, but they also took care of the woman during her postpartum period. During that time, men were expected to do all sorts of things. It's absurd to think about.
When he received that survey, he was completely stunned.
But later, as their relationship improved and they spent more time together, he realized that things weren't as he had imagined. Although he still didn't quite understand, deep down he no longer rejected those things.
Later, seeing how attentive Qin Jiancheng was to Peng Yuan after their marriage, he thought of his concubines again. They were like duckweed, without their own souls. Their most important thing every day was to compete for his favor, to please him, to gain his affection, and to give him some benefits, but what they really felt for him was still unknown.
At that moment, he suddenly began to envy Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian, thinking that he should also have a relationship like that.
So he dismissed his harem, gave the women a good sum of money enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and then severed all ties with him.
His return to China this time was also for his wedding.
According to Prince Jing's thinking, a handsome man like him, with his good looks and talent, would be loved by everyone and would be irresistible to anyone.
But on his very first night back, the woman pushed him into the lake...
This was a major setback for Prince Jing, who has been focusing on this matter and has no time to visit the Lu family.
Therefore, even though Mrs. Sun wanted to help him, she didn't have the opportunity.
You can't just go to their door and ask if they need help, can you? That would be too awkward!
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Sun replied, "That's true. Since that's the case, let's just leave it at that. Let's just listen to it as idle gossip. There's no point in getting involved in something like this. Oh, the storyteller is here! Let's listen to a story!"
Seeing that Sun Shi's attention was instantly drawn, Jiang Jiuniang smiled and continued eating melon seeds.
Not long after, several of Sun's old friends arrived. As soon as they sat down, they started gossiping while listening to the story.
In just one afternoon, Jiang Jiuniang learned even about how Prince Jing cried uncontrollably in the street after wetting his crotch when he was a child.
It has to be said that Ms. Sun is now the source of intelligence for the family; the information is even more readily available than hers.
After following Sun Shi for several days, Jiang Jiuniang was tired of eating melons. Just then, Lei Zi and the others were preparing to return to Jingzhou to take the exam, so she stayed at home to help see what needed to be packed, and the matter of Prince Jing was put to the back of her mind.
Lei Zi and the other two had already passed the preliminary examination for the imperial examination, and now they were preparing to return to Jingzhou to take the county-level examination for the imperial examination.
Because their household registration is still in Jingzhou, they can only go back to Jingzhou to take the exam. Although it is a bit troublesome, they can also go and see the industries in Jingzhou. So Lianhua also has to go back with them.
Not only that, the people from the first and second wives' families, as well as Lu Guilan, all had to go. After all, exams were a big deal in this era, and parents had to be by their side so that they wouldn't have any regrets.
Although three people went, only Lei Zi and Jie Zi took the test seriously; Xiao Hu Zi was just there to make up the numbers.
Xiao Huzi is still young and his grades are not as good as Leizi and Jiezi's. Although he has passed the preliminary examination, he will have to wait two more years to take the county-level examination.
However, his family still suggested that he give it a try, experience the difficulty, and then he would have the motivation to strive.
The house was immediately bustling with activity. Jiang Jiuniang had nothing to do, so she took on the task of checking for any omissions and filling in any gaps, ensuring that they could prepare everything they wanted to bring in the shortest possible time.
Lei Zi and Jie Zi were both very nervous, especially Lei Zi. He was getting old, and if he didn't pass the exam this year, he would have to wait another three years. By then, he would be too old to provide a good life for Lianhua. Not only would Lianhua look down on him, but he himself would also look down on himself.
His parents had previously suggested that he and Lianhua get married at the end of the year. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he wanted to pass the imperial examinations first, so that Lianhua would be proud. That's why he said he would wait until Lu Xiaoyang came back to get married together.
Seeing the children's restlessness, Jiang Jiuniang felt it was time for her to step in.
