Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Wang Yuehong glanced at Su Rutang, feeling a dull pain in her heart. She was just born a little better, so she dared to laugh at the daughters of minor officials like them?

If Su Rutang had really been born like them, would she have achieved the status she has today?

Thinking that Su Rutang was just an orphan without a father or a mother, she relied on playing the victim in the Su Mansion to gain sympathy, and finally relied on the prestige of the Su Mansion to marry Zhou Chengru.

In her heart, she disdained people like Su Rutang.

A true noble lady from a prominent family is loved by her parents and supported by her brothers.

Rather than an unlucky orphan like Su Rutang.

She opened her mouth to utter another sarcasm.

Su Rutang glanced at him and said, "Do you still want me to say something to you?"

Wang Yuehong had no choice but to shut up.

Su Rutang walked straight towards the flower hall without paying any attention to Wang Yuehong.

Not long after.

Arrived at the entrance of the flower hall.

Zhou Qiongyu and Murong Feiyue came hand in hand.

Zhou Qiongyu wore a pink embroidered skirt, and with a little makeup, her appearance looked even more pure and innocent.

It's like a lotus emerging from water, three times more beautiful than usual.

When Zhou Qiongyu saw Su Rutang, her face froze. She bowed and saluted, "Mother."

Su Rutang just nodded lightly.

"Go in. After today you still have to go back and reflect on your mistakes, and come out after you have felt relieved in Prince Cheng's mansion." Su Rutang understood that they had a plan. Thinking of Prince Kang and the fifth prince who came today, he knew what Zhou Qiongyu was planning.

"Yes. My daughter has been regretting it every day these days."

Wang Yuehong rolled her eyes. The Zhou family had completely lost face.

There's no use in repenting.

After entering the flower hall, Su Rutang first went to pay his respects to the Fifth Prince's wife and Princess Kang, and then paid his respects to Old Madam Zhou.

"Madam, I specially found 99 poor and long-lived elderly people and begged them to write 99 Chinese characters for blessing. I want to borrow their blessings of longevity to wish you a long life like the evergreen pines in the southern mountains and a blessing like the long-flowing water in the East China Sea."

The old lady sitting above could not hide her disappointment.

As an old lady in a minister's mansion, why would she need to rely on the blessings of those poor people?

That's poor air.

The more I listened, the gloomier I felt.

"That's thoughtful. Put it aside." The old lady saw that there was only one box and didn't want to look at it at all.

Mrs. Ya, the wife of Zhou Chengru's colleague, became curious when she heard this.

"Second Madam Su is really a wonderful person. She can come up with such a novel method." Madam Ya looked curious, "How about you broaden our horizons?"

"There is a saying that one can borrow the blessings of a long-lived person." Lan Xuanji explained, "My Rutang is a very honest child."

"I thought the old lady had seen all kinds of rare treasures. What was important was the thought." Su Rutang lied effortlessly, "A few days ago, I took the maid to the slums to find the words written by those old birthday stars."

Chunxi and Xia An hurriedly opened the red paper.

Except for the first character "Fu" which is written well, each of the following ones seems to be written by a beginner.

There were even some mistakes, which I corrected later.

Zhou Yunxi didn't expect that Su Rutang would use a piece of calligraphy written by a poor person to make excuses.

"Second sister-in-law, you actually used such a lowly beggar's gift..."

Su Rutang's face darkened.

"Sister Yunxi, shut up. These are all congratulatory messages from an octogenarian, implying that the old lady has many children and grandchildren at the age of 80." Su Rutang clasped his hands together and then released them. "Those poor people can suppress evil spirits and diseases. I am doing this all for the old lady's sake."

"It's not uncommon for our Zhou family to spend hundreds or thousands of taels of silver to find a gold or jade item. The birthday gifts I gave to the old lady in previous years were all worth four or five thousand taels of silver."

"It's just that this year is not a good year. As the saying goes, things conflict with each other. I consulted a great monk and used this method."

The words have not yet fallen.

Princess Kang nodded first.

To them, what can be bought with gold and silver are ultimately vulgar things.

The thought and meaning are the most precious.

Hearing this, Princess Kang smiled and looked at Lan Xuanji and said, "I said that the girls of the Su family are really good. Apart from other things, the fact that Rutang brought her maid to find someone to write the letter herself is a great act of filial piety."

"Congratulations to Madam Zhou on her tea birthday."

Princess Kang agreed, and naturally the others followed suit with many flattering words.

One sentence after another, he kept congratulating Old Madam Zhou.

Su Rutang's reputation for filial piety immediately spread to the front yard.

Old Madam Zhou was furious. She didn't care about these formalities. She liked the real gold and jade.

Next comes the banquet.

Men and women were in separate halls, but all were in the garden.

With the money earned from Song Huaiyan's shop.

The garden isn't too ugly.

The banquet hadn't started yet, so Zhou Qiongyu went out on the pretext of something.

She walked to the flower hall where the man was, and happened to see a face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. The man was about the same age as Zhou Chengru, with an upright posture and a serious expression, but he had a noble air that others did not have.

He noticed someone was secretly looking at him.

The man shifted his gaze indifferently and met Zhou Qiongyu's eyes.

Zhou Qiongyu stared at him for a few seconds, then opened her lips and uttered an ancient poem. Then she blushed and looked away.

The fifth prince did not know Zhou Qiongyu.

I just felt that the woman was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, and was different from the women in the prince's mansion.

Smile.

"Fifth Prince. Please come this way..." Zhou Chengru walked over and looked out the window but there was no one there.

"Hmm. Is that matter settled?"

"That's it."

Zhou Chengru had not just gotten involved with the Fifth Prince, but had gotten involved with him five years earlier. However, when the Crown Prince committed a crime, the late Emperor was furious and issued an oral order to arrest and kill him without mercy.

Unexpectedly, all the people in Prince Li's mansion died.

Before his death, Prince Li wrote dozens of grievances on the wall with his blood.

A sensational tragedy.

Just two years later, the late emperor abdicated and moved to the Mountain Resort, never to return to the capital to inquire about the affairs of the Zhou state.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the fifth prince automatically cut off contact with Zhou Chengru.

Now, in order to trip up the Su family.

The chief historian of the Fifth Prince's Palace took the initiative to find Zhou Chengru and offered him an attractive condition.

The Fifth Prince saw King Kang standing aside and said with a smile:

"Uncle Wang, please take a seat."

King Kang waved his hand and said, "I'm not used to talking to big guys. Just sit aside and drink some wine."

Zhou Chengru smiled and said:

"Prince Kang, you can't avoid being idle today."

While talking.

The Minister of Works is here.

"Commander Shang of the Jinyiwei has arrived."

"Jinyiwei Yao Tongzhi has arrived."

"Minister Lin of the Ministry of Personnel has arrived."

……

Zhou Chengru was surprised that so many people who usually ignored him came to the birthday party at the Zhou Mansion.

He couldn't help but bow to the Fifth Prince, "Thank you, Fifth Prince."

The fifth prince smiled and said nothing.

Shang Yan brought Shang Qi here specially because he knew his son's heart.

Eventually the old father was no match for his son and took him out of the temple.

Shang Qi followed Shang Yan in and saluted the Fifth Prince and the others. He lazily listened to Shang Yan and the Fifth Prince talking, and rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Uncle Yao, I want to go to another flower hall."

Zhou Wenyi took the initiative to come over and greet Shangqi, "Young Master Shang. I am Zhou Wenyi, the son of Minister Zhou."

Shangqi turned his head away.

Zhou Wenyi: “…” What a rude kid.

Zhou Wenqing and Zhou Wenyan rushed to talk to Shangqi, but when they saw that he didn't answer them coldly, they became embarrassed.

Shangqi saw Yao Tongzhi being stopped by Prince Kang to talk.

I sighed inwardly.

He rolled his eyes and pointed at Zhou Wenyan. "Are you also the son of Minister Zhou?"

"Yes."

"It's boring here. Take me to the flower hall for women."

Zhou Wenyan also found this place boring, and he was very proud to see Shangqi taking the initiative to talk to him. "Okay. My mother is in the flower hall. She is not feeling well today..."

"Wen Yan, why are you saying this?" Zhou Wenqing had a warning in his eyes.

Zhou Wenyan was not convinced.

"Young Master Shang, I'll take you there."

"Okay." Shangqi's mouth curled up. The children of the Zhou family each had their own little plans.

There was a flash of displeasure in Zhou Wenqing's eyes.

"I'll take you there."

Shangqi glanced at him and said, "I don't like kids older than me. You stay here." He took Zhou Wenyan's hand and said, "Let's go."

Zhou Wenqing: “…” He was disliked.

Zhou Wenyi took a look and decided that he had to perform well here.

Try to get the fifth prince's attention.

Zhou Wenyi's goal is to enter the Imperial College.

Su Buli from the Su Mansion came over. He arrived late and didn't arrive until the banquet started, hurriedly holding a jar of Yu Lu wine.

"Brother-in-law, I'm late. There's a difficult case in the Dali Temple."

Su Buli put down the jar of wine.

King Kang loved wine.

His eyes fell on the wine jar, and he squinted and looked at it again and again. "Su Shaoqing. What good wine do you mean? If it's not good wine, you, the latecomer, should drink up all the wine you brought."

Su Buli looked even more gentle in his moon-white brocade robe.

"Prince Kang, this is Yulu wine. Can I drink it alone?"

Prince Kang took a deep breath and said, "My goodness, I only got less than two kilograms of Yulu wine. Your jar must be ten kilograms, right?"

"Twelve pounds."

Kang Wangteng stood up and rushed over.

Holding the jar of wine tightly, he said, "I'll drink it for you."

Others wouldn't let him.

"Prince Kang, you can't be so dishonest."
