Chapter Five Hundred and Three: Wen Qi Returns to Beijing (Part 2)

Although it is still midsummer, fortunately, due to the extensive planting of green plants in Nanjing today, the lush canopy of trees has covered a lot of the scorching heat, allowing hurried passers-by to get some respite while walking through the shade.

The house of Lu Ying, the official of the Ministry of Rites, is located on Gulou Street, which can be regarded as a prime location near the palace city, Chang'an Street and other central cores. Based on the current housing prices in Nanjing, this is also a considerable amount of real estate.

Especially after the relocation notice from the Yingtianfu City Construction Department was posted all over the streets and alleys of Gulou Street, the people who have lived here for generations became even more emotional.

Lu Ying was naturally very happy. If her daughter hadn't been causing trouble during this period, she might have been even happier.

She is a sixteen-year-old girl, and she is not extremely ugly. Although she does not come from a high-ranking family, she is still an official. No matter from any aspect, she should not worry about her husband's family.

The result was good, I tried to mention it several times, but I got a bump in the nose every time.

"Are you so anxious to marry off your daughter?"

After dinner in the evening, Lu Ying went back to her room to drink tea and read the newspaper. She hadn't even covered her buttocks to get warm when her daughter-in-law, who was peeling fruit beside her, spoke up: "I'll be talking about this when I get home from work. I told you that you can't take a break." That mouth, even if it is rented, can't be used like this. What's the matter, there is nothing good to say about the etiquette department, so I can just go home and complain to my daughter."

Lu Ying was a little unhappy when she said this. She put the newspaper aside and looked at her wife sideways: "The way you want it, is it possible that Jin Xi will be tied to us for the rest of our lives? Besides, I told you before Of those, which young master's conditions are poor?

Be content with yourselves. You also know that our daughter has never been to school since she was a child. I would like to give her a chance to be a proud and talented person from Nanjing University. The key is that others don't look down on our small family."

College students are still extremely valuable in Nanjing. Many families with fourth or fifth grades in Nanjing, including those with daughters, have their eyes set on Nanjing University.

The threshold of NTU has almost been leveled by matchmakers.

This custom of seeking a son-in-law is quite similar to that of seeking a son-in-law in the early Song Dynasty.

"So what if you have a bachelor's degree?" The wife glanced disdainfully and said, "Thankfully, you are still an official of the country. You can't even tell the direction of this trend. In two months, Nanjing University will welcome new students again. Did you know that this year's enrollment will be expanded? How many people?”

"How much?" Lu Ying really didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

"A whole thousand people!"

The wife reported a big number with a proud look on her face: "Sister-in-law Lin told me this number. Her man works in the Admissions Office of the School Division of the Ministry of Education. This number should be true.

So you think about it, if universities expand enrollment every year, one year, two years, three years, if this continues for a long time, will college students still be valuable?"

"Hey."

Lu Ying sat up straight and looked at his wife with raised eyebrows: "I didn't realize that you still have such knowledge. It seems that my husband has been educating you all the time, and it still works."

"Go, go, go." The daughter-in-law said with a look of disgust: "With your level of education, it would be better if you don't mislead the children less than anything else. So, as far as I'm concerned about our daughter, you'd better not take advantage of that old man. I'm tempted by my thoughts, and I'm constantly urging people to get married."

As she spoke and recited, the wife slowly closed her mouth because she found Lu Ying staring directly at her.

"There's something wrong with you today."

Lu Ying touched her chin and asked, "What did Jin Xi tell you? Don't be a master. I don't know anything every day. This little girl, Jin Xi, must be hiding something from me."

Tell me! Is Jin Xi going out to show off again in the past two days?"

When he mentioned his daughter, Lu Ying suddenly felt panicked. He couldn't help but take a breath and pointed at his wife with a trembling finger: "Okay, as soon as I go to court, you will definitely let Jin Xi run away from home again. She

This is a girl's family. Although our family is not a powerful one, my face is still worth some respect. If you do this, where can I put my old face?"

"Then according to your words, it would be shameful to shut down the family every day?"

The daughter-in-law obviously had different ideas from Lu Ying, perhaps because she was also a woman, so she argued with Lu Ying over the matter: "You also go out and take a look, how is the scene in Nanjing city now? Is it possible that all those girls are...

A commoner's child? Besides, what kind of official are you? No matter how high your official position is, is it as high as a prince or a prince?

Aren’t these princesses and county lords wandering around in the streets and alleys now? Aren’t you in the Ministry of Etiquette chanting the word “ceremony” every day? I don’t see you dare to go out on the street and point at these rich ladies and scold them. Be honest outside.

I will come back and set some rules with our own daughter."

The wife's mumbling was really a spark falling on the firewood pile. Although Lu Yingping was always a little henpecked because of the influence of his wife's family, he was still a man after all. He would inevitably lose his temper when encountering such a thing, so he immediately followed

The daughter-in-law started to quarrel.

The two of them were quarreling more and more fiercely. Lu Ying slapped the table, using his brute force to gain a slight advantage in momentum.

"Don't think I don't know. Jinxi went out every day some time ago, and she was accompanied by a kid. She asked her who the kid was from."

"Oh."

Lu Ying originally thought that after she told this story, her daughter-in-law would be more honest, but she didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would become even more arrogant.

"With your temper, no wonder my daughter didn't tell you anything. She's not very capable but she likes to look at people through the cracks in the door. That young man is really bad."

"From Nanda University?"

Subconsciously, Lu Ying became serious, and there was still some longing in his tone. He was disappointed when his wife shook her head. Before the disappointment had passed, his wife almost startled him with one sentence.

"I am a graduate of Lakeside Phase II."

That lakeside college in Xuanwu Lake?

Lu Ying choked and coughed repeatedly, and her whole face turned red: "Really or not?"

"Is this still false?"

The daughter-in-law looked proudly at her husband's shocked expression, and continued to introduce with a smile on her face: "Jinxi said that he is not only a student of the second phase of Hupan, I heard that he is also the president of a student union in Nanjing. He left some time ago.

Jing arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture to report on his duties, and I heard he is quite an official."

The happy smile on Lu Ying's face froze.

No official in Nanjing city knows who the president of the Nanjing Student Union is.

The second prince Zhu Wenqi!

If this boy hadn't lied to his daughter, this would have been a serious matter.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Seeing her husband's virtue, the daughter-in-law thought she was overly happy at first, but then she found something was wrong. How did this surprise turn into a shock?

Feeling worried, I quickly asked.

"You know, that kid, oh no, who is that one?"

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lu Ying trembled when he spoke: "The Holy Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are now together, Your Highness the Prince."
