Chapter 974 Unexpected Variables

Similarly, Wan'er and Jiayin are reluctant to part with Aibei and Wenwen.

Especially Wan'er, who can enter the palace after good news, and there are also the three princesses, Baozhu and other ladies chatting and shopping. She is the only one who is busy with endless household chores every day and works conscientiously for fear of making mistakes.

  Occasionally, when I have free time, my grandmother and aunt are not around, and there is no one to talk to.

But Abe is here, and she has company.

Ai Bei has a straightforward temperament and is curious about everything in Tianwu. Wan'er seems to have a younger sister. They laugh and eat snacks together, making her lively and happy every day.

Now that Ai Bei has left, Jia Xi and Jia An will also leave. In a few days, Jia Ren and Brother Li will also go to their posts...

Just thinking about how deserted the house would be, Wan'er couldn't help but sigh.

But there is no banquet in the world that never ends, and no one can stop us from saying goodbye.

Fortunately, the separation is because each has a better life.

Compared with the busyness of the Li family, everywhere in the city is also extremely lively.

This time, the imperial court was preparing to regain Jiangbei. Almost all the new scholars were sent to serve as officials, and most of them were in actual positions. They planned to give them more experience.

The new scholars have not left Xindu, and they are all waiting for the good news.

Now that the dust has settled, everyone is naturally happy and the celebration banquet continues.

The people in the city were also talking a lot and saying a few words happily.

“Mr. Qu, who lives in the courtyard next to my house, became a county magistrate, but he was so happy that he bought meat for a banquet yesterday, and I also drank a bowl of wedding wine.”

“Hahaha, me too. But the person assigned to the post was the nephew of my uncle’s third aunt, so I went to give him the gift and treated him like a guest.

“When his family provided for him to study and they were short of money to buy pens and ink, I helped him with two taels of silver. Now I’ve benefited from it too!

"This time when I went out to be an official, my son was also asked to be a small steward. He will have no worries in the future."

“And such a good thing? It’s so enviable!”

“That’s right, why don’t my family have such good relatives?”

"Those who went out to become officials this time became popular, but those who stayed in the new capital were just decorations and had no real power."

“There’s nothing we can do about it. There are too many noble men in Xindu, so it’s not the newcomer’s turn to come forward.”

"It's not like there's no chance that Tanhualang will get a fifth-grade official position."

"The fifth rank is indeed very high, but he is also a book repairer, so he is of little use! And if the emperor had not hoped to marry the princess to the Lu family, I am afraid that Tanhua Lang would not be able to get such a high rank."

"That's true! I heard that Prince Lu actually has no talent, but he only chose Tan Hua Lang because he was favored by the emperor. Sometimes it is said that good looks are an advantage, otherwise he would have fallen into disgrace long ago. "

"That's not necessarily the case. Whether he is truly talented or learned, we can't say nonsense. But the reason why the emperor is interested in Prince Lu as his son-in-law must be because Prince Lu also has outstanding qualities."

"What's special? Haha, there must be something special, otherwise how could I be a princess!" The speaker winked, and it was obvious that there was a little color in his words.

The others also laughed, and they were all men. Naturally, everyone was interested in such talk.

After the joke was over, everyone dispersed.

I don’t know who spread the word about this “extraordinary thing”, so that one day later, when everyone saw Lu Zong, after cupping their fists and saying congratulations, their eyes inevitably glanced down.

Lu Zong was not a fool and immediately realized something was wrong.

So the boy went out for a walk. When he came back, his eyes were red with anger.

Lu Zong was also locked in the study and did not come out all day and night.

The servants and stewards of the Lu family were frightened. They were really worried that something would happen to their master, so they had no choice but to run to find reinforcements.

The Li family was very busy, so the boy didn't have much to do and rushed directly to Jia's house. Jia Xu also heard the rumors and was so angry that he smashed his favorite inkstone.

At this moment, when he received a call for help, he rushed to Lu's house with a jar of strong wine and some good vegetables.

The door to the study room was forcefully opened by the slaves. Jia Xu chased everyone away and walked in.

Lu Zong was sitting in front of the table with disheveled hair, his eyes were blood red and his cheeks were very thin.

Jia Xu was so distressed that he cried. Why did the high-spirited prince become like this?

“Brother Lu, you said that you are the queen of the gate, you can’t be knocked down by such a trivial matter! If you are angry, we will go out and beat people, why bother to torture yourself like this!”

Lu Zong didn't answer, opened the wine jar, and started drinking.

Jia Xu quickly grabbed the wine jar and wanted to speak again, but Lu Zong was already choking and crying, "I don't accept it! I studied hard for ten years, but I was able to be named on the gold medal list because of my strength. Just because I was chosen, I just ordered it." Tanhualang.

“As a result, everyone said that I was an embroidered straw bag, and I only got on the list because of my outstanding qualities, and I became the prince-in-law!

“Can my ambition only be used to make women happy? If I like her, that’s fine. But I obviously like...”

"Brother Lu!" Jia Xu covered Lu Zong's mouth, looked around vigilantly, and lowered his voice eagerly to comfort him, "Brother Lu, you must not say this nonsense in the future! Be careful for yourself and also It will bring trouble to your family!"

Lu Zong shook off his hand and completely lost his mind.

“Do you want me to be a tortoise for the rest of my life? Do you want me to be scolded as an embroidered straw bag for the rest of my life? Do you want me to live in cold loneliness for the rest of my life?

"But why can't you give me my beloved girl! As long as she is with you, I will admit it!"

"Why is it the third princess, what kind of **** prince-in-law, I don't care! Why should you go out to the herdsmen and just leave me here, as a puppet, to suffer for the rest of my life!"

“I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced!”

Jia Xu hugged Lu Zong and refused to let go despite him crying.

He couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes. He and Lu Zong have been friends for many years. How could he not know what Lu Zong was thinking.

But people cannot live just for themselves.

Especially for the children of powerful families like them, who have carried the honor and disgrace of the family on their backs since they were young. They always put the family first, and their personal preferences are not worth mentioning at all...

"Brother Lu, cry. After crying, you still have to live your life as usual. The third princess... is also a good girl. You will definitely be able to play the piano and the harp forever.

“Don’t underestimate the importance of repairing books. Once you’ve repaired it, it will still leave your name in history. Besides, I’m staying in the new capital, and I’ll be drinking with you.”

Lu Zong didn’t speak anymore, only tears flowing like a river.

No one could see the black mist condensed into hatred in his eyes, which was three points thicker than the night outside...

In the yard of Li's house in Suijintan, Jiayin came out of the bath, picked up the book and read it carefully.

Shui Ling took a cotton towel to wipe his master's hair. Shui Yun came in with a soothing tea. Seeing this, he quickly took the towel.

Shui Ling is careless and careless about his hands and feet.

The master's hair is grown black and straight, like black satin, and is covered with bright lights.

It would be a pity if a few of them were torn off by the water spirit.

Without even raising his head, Jiayin asked, "Have you checked the box again? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"No, princess, everything is indeed ready. Just take it on the boat tomorrow." Shuiyun responded.

Shui Ling took a piece of snack and gnawed on it, and couldn't help but interject, "Now that the fourth young master and the others are gone, the house will become deserted again."

Jiayin sighed and closed the book, but suddenly there was an ouch.

 Today’s update is here~~
