Chapter 10 Chapter 10 A natural outcome

Chapter 10

Du Haoyu is just a heretic, and his ideas are often different from others, but he is not ignorant of the ways of the world. If he is willing to work hard, there is nothing he can't achieve. For example, now, he is like a son-in-law who is being tested by his future father-in-law. He sits on the chair honestly and talks about his plan, "I want to take part in the provincial examination with my brother next year."

Du Haoyu was already a scholar when he was thirteen years old, and he just needs to continue to take the exam.

Jiang Feng was naturally overjoyed. He himself was just a scholar, and he could only get to where he is today by working hard, but that was all. It was impossible for him to go any further. No matter how good he was in the assessment every three years, he could only go around in circles, unless someone from above promoted him or there were other opportunities. But who among all scholars doesn't have a dream of becoming the top scholar?

"When you recited the Three Character Classic at the age of three, I wonder how many people were amazed? Your grandfather was even regarded as a literary star and was born into the family... As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. Although you are not young anymore, you have outstanding talent and it is not too late for everything."

Jiang Feng was even more excited than Grandpa Du. He asked someone to buy wine and said, "Let Ayu cook a few specialties today. You can also try Ayu's cooking skills. Let's have a drink together."

When leaving the Du family, Zhou gave a lot of things. Jiang Yu took a lot of effort to sort them out. When he returned to the hall, he saw his father and cousin chatting enthusiastically.

Du Haoyu said, "My cousin just came home. She is tired from the journey. It's time for her to have a good rest. I am not picky about food. Just ask the kitchen to cook some ordinary meals."

Jiang Feng was naturally happier after hearing this. He felt that Du Haoyu was a caring person.

Jiang Yu looked at him silently for a few seconds and then left. Her father really liked her eldest cousin... Her cousin was also good and always caring for her. In fact, not to mention her father, she was also happy.

It seemed that everything was going smoothly, but was it really like this?

At this moment, Du came in in a panic. She was relieved to see Jiang Yu, pulled her out, and said, "Ayu, the palace sent someone to pick you up, saying that the princess had something to ask you."

Jiang Yu was stunned and asked, "But what did they say they wanted to ask?"

It had been more than a month since Jiang Yu left Zhou Wangfu. She had gradually gotten used to life at home, and was also very surprised when she heard it at first.

Mrs. Du was obviously very unhappy and complained, "I've already sent people back home, but now they're taking you back to question you as if nothing happened?"

"Today they said they had something to ask you, and tomorrow they can't find anything, so will they send people to question you?" Mrs. Du was obviously full of resentment towards the palace, but because of the power of the palace and the fear that her daughter would be sad, she never mentioned it.

Mrs. Du took a sip of water and said, "Why don't you say you're engaged?"

Jiang Yu saw that although Mrs. Du spoke casually, she was staring at her without blinking, as if eagerly waiting for her reaction. She thought to herself that this matter must have a conclusion.

***

These days are particularly cold, with dark clouds over the sky. It actually rained in the afternoon. It was wet and cold, and it was the kind of cold that went to the bones, but Lin Ji was particularly stubborn and insisted on waiting at the door.

Nanny Li couldn't persuade her. Seeing Lin Jidong's face flushed, she couldn't help but feel distressed. She said to the little maid beside her, "Why don't you tell the princess? Don't let her catch a cold!"

Princess Zhou woke up from a nap and felt listless, with sore hands and feet. Then she remembered that Jiang Yu would massage her before she went to bed. Although Jiang Yu was of humble origin and unworthy of her son, she felt comfortable after he left. After all, who would remember such a person in a few years?

But it must be said that people are all made of flesh and blood. It's really a bit uncomfortable to not see him for the first time.

Thinking of this, she felt that she owed her a lot. Don't say it, Jiang Yu has been diligent and conscientious in the palace in the past few years, and has not neglected her at all. Wait until she sees her and then reward her and comfort her.

The princess thought this way for a while, and then thought that way for a while, but she never noticed that it was very contradictory.

She waited to get up, dressed neatly and sat on a chair in the hall. The maid served her tea, but before she could take a sip of the tea, she saw the little maid running over and reported, "Princess, the second master refused to come in and has been waiting at the door." "

Waiting for who?" After Princess Zhou finished speaking, she suddenly remembered who Lin Ji was waiting for. She was so angry that she said, "This child, has he been drugged by Jiang? How can he be so disappointing..."

The pity that Princess Zhou had just felt also disappeared. She felt more and more that her decision was right. Jiang Yu was good at pleasing people and was very scheming.

When Lin Ji was dragged into the house by the princess, he was still a little unhappy, pursing his lips and not saying anything. Seeing his face flushed, the princess felt distressed and angry, and said, "Jiang is no longer your sister-in-law, don't be so stubborn, your future sister-in-law is the princess appointed by the late emperor, and her parents are both from noble families, how can Jiang compare?"

Lin Ji said angrily, "Mother, have you forgotten, you always told me to remember my sister-in-law's hard work?"

"How can it be the same, it's a different time now."

"You just have no conscience!"

Princess Zhou's face turned red and white after what Lin Ji said, and it took a while for her to calm down. At this time, the maid came to report that Jiang Yu refused to enter the mansion. The one

who went to pick up Jiang Yu was from Li Fugui's family, who she had promoted. Sure enough, after Jiang Yu left, she was reused by the princess, and now she is also a very respectable housekeeper.

Li Fugui's wife was also dressed in new clothes, with gold earrings as thick as her little finger on her ears, which swayed and were particularly conspicuous when she walked.

But compared to the richness and elegance of her clothes, her demeanor was a little listless, after all, she had not completed her task.

Li Fugui's wife thought of Jiang Yu's face, and her mind was complicated for a moment. She knew that Jiang Yu was beautiful before, but when she was in the palace, Jiang Yu acted cautiously and seemed a little restrained. Even the clothes she wore were half-worn, trying not to make mistakes. Now Jiang Yu was like a bud that broke through the ground, breaking free from her own shackles. The whole person was refreshed, bright and sunny, and it was comfortable to look at.

Princess Zhou asked, "What did she say?"

"She said that she had already decided on a marriage, and it would be difficult for her to return to the palace." Li Fugui's mood was complicated. She didn't expect that Jiang Yu would remarry in just over a month.

But on second thought, if she really planned to stay single for the rest of her life, she would not leave the palace. If she left, she would naturally want to remarry.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Princess Zhou frowned and said, "Is the marriage settled already?" Then she said to Lin Ji, "Look, you still feel sorry for Jiang, but she feels that we are blocking her good life in the future."

Lin Ji pursed her lips and said nothing, looking a little aggrieved, but her tone was very calm, "Brother doesn't want sister-in-law anymore, do you want sister-in-law to be alone for the rest of her life?"

Princess Zhou was speechless after hearing this. She was so angry that she wanted to hit Lin Ji, but she felt so distressed when she raised her hand that she couldn't bear to do it. Finally, she put her hand down and punished Lin Ji to write big characters.

Lin Ji had a cold face, and was obviously unconvinced, but he didn't refuse and went obediently.

Princess Zhou drank tea in the hall alone for a long time before she calmed down. She said to Li Fugui, "Speaking of which, you know the taste of the prince best, so I thought of letting you go to the capital to serve the prince. Are you willing?"

Although Li Fugui didn't take Jiang Yu over, Jiang Yu also explained the matter of milk.

When Princess Zhou asked, Li Fugui answered very carefully, which made Princess Zhou think of sending Li Fugui to Lin Bozhi.

Li Fugui was stunned. She didn't want to do it. Her parents, husband and children were all in Lin'an, but since the master had asked, there was no reason for them to refuse. They could only bite the bullet and agree, thinking that if they did their job well, they might be able to ask for grace and take their family over.

Princess Zhou nodded, thinking that finally something made her happy. After a few days, Li Fugui set off. They

arrived at the dock, took a boat, and arrived in the capital after seven or eight days. It was Li Fugui's first time to go to the capital. She was full of surprise, but thinking of the princess's order, she didn't dare to delay casually. She called a carriage and arrived at the palace smoothly.

The Zhou Palace in the capital city is really magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and gold foil is used for inlay. From a distance, it is magnificent and magnificent, which shows how much the emperor values their prince.

Aunt Qian was quite unhappy to see Li Fugui's family. After all, the princess asked Li Fugui's family to come, which seemed to make her look incompetent. However, Wen Ru was the opposite of her. She was smiling. Every time the prince drank milk, the expression on her face was wrong. The atmosphere in the room became very depressing. She even had to hold her breath when walking, for fear of angering Lin Bozhi.

"How do you cook this milk?"

Several people came over at once. Li Fugui's family smiled and said, "Cooking is important, but the cow is more important." It turned out that Li Fugui's family directly brought the cow that was originally raised in the palace.

At night, after Lin Bozhi returned home, he washed up and went to bed. The day of conferring the title of Crown Prince was approaching, so he was naturally very busy. He was busy every day. When he saw the milk on the black lacquered nanmu table, he couldn't help frowning. After thinking about it, he picked it up and drank it. However, there was no fishy smell in his mouth as expected, but a familiar sweet taste.

Although Wen Ru was standing aside, she had actually been secretly observing Lin Bozhi's reaction. She saw that he frowned at first, but after taking a sip, the expression on his face eased, and he actually drank it all in one breath.

"Who made the milk today?"
