Chu Moyuan waved to Xia Youan, "Okay, come here, stop making trouble, we still have to go back to the palace!"

Xia Youan and Xing Yinan trotted back to their respective boyfriends, leaving Zhang Peng feeling extremely jealous after being left out.

Xing Yinan suddenly remembered the little girl she met in the morning. She quickly took out her phone and flipped through the photo album to show Xie Youzhi, "Is this your sister?"

The camera was right in front of Xie Youzhi's face, but too close to see, so Xie Youzhi took the phone.

The picture in the photo is a bit blurry, probably because it was shaken a lot when the photo was taken. The girl's face looks a bit ferocious, and it can be seen that she is arguing with someone.

Xie Youzhi frowned slightly. "What kind of sister is she? She's just a concubine's daughter. What's wrong? Did she offend you today? Don't worry, go home and see how I deal with her."

Xing Yinan was stunned. "I thought she was your sister. I don't want a sister-in-law like that. She's unruly, willful, and uneducated."

Xie Youzhi pinched Xing Yinan's chubby little face, "Don't be angry, it's New Year's Day, what are you afraid of with me here? Can't you handle her? I promise that she will avoid you next time she sees you."

Liang Peishan and Aunt Wu were escorted out by the Duke's wife. Zhang Peng went over, put his arm around Aunt Wu's shoulders, and complained, "Mom, Aunt Liang, you were right not to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. You were exhausted standing there all morning."

Aunt Wu scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. You're disrespectful to our ancestors!" Then she turned to the Duke's wife and introduced, "Sister, let me introduce you to my son, Zhang Peng!"

"You are so good-looking. How come your whole family is so good-looking?" The Duke's wife was really envious.

"Hahahaha~ Auntie, you're too kind. If my dad hadn't lowered my looks a bit, I would be even more handsome based on my mom's looks."

Aunt Wu reached out and slapped Zhang Peng on the back of the head. "You little bastard, you're talking nonsense again. Be careful if your dad hears you, or he'll kick you!"

Liang Peishan smiled, then said to the Duke's wife, "Sister, don't forget to come to the palace early tonight. I'll dye your hair and make you look several years younger in an instant."

"Okay, okay~" The Duke's wife laughed heartily. Women in their Great Chu looked like old ladies in their fifties. Look at Sister Wu, who was in her fifties, but looked like a woman in their Great Chu who was less than thirty years old.

They are both women, why is there such a big difference between them?

The palace banquet was held in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the evening, and all civil and military officials and their families were invited.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests tonight is different from previous years. The hall is brightly lit, as bright as day, and even the stone pillars in the square in front of the hall are equipped with large lights.

The crowd attending the palace banquet walked to the square and rubbed their eyes in surprise, as if they had seen something incredible.

They looked up curiously for the source of the light and discovered that it was a white object on the stone pillar that was emitting the light.

The ministers had never seen this thing before and were so frightened that they dared not step forward.

"Minister Shen, do you know what this thing is? It's so small, but it can actually illuminate this whole world."

"I don't know!" Prime Minister Shen said expressionlessly to the minister who asked him about it, knowing that this was another thing that Xia Youan had brought.

"Is this thing dangerous?"

When Censor Xie passed by and saw the crowd's reaction, he said with disdain, "Country bumpkins, you don't even know how to use an electric light!"

Censor Xie was stopped by someone, "Master Xie, do you know what this is?"

"Of course!" Censor Xie touched his beard out of habit, but unfortunately he forgot that he had shaved it off when he applied for the certificate.

Xie Yushi withdrew his hand awkwardly, then said proudly, "Isn't it just an electric light? There's a filament inside the light bulb. The current passing through the filament generates heat, and then the filament glows."

"My Lord, what is electric current?"

"Electric current? Electric current?" Censor Xie hesitated, obviously stumped by the question.

Yes, what is electric current?

Don't panic. What I don't know, they don't know either.

"Electric current is lightning." Censor Xie replied confidently.

"Thunder and lightning? Who is Xie Sir? There is thunder and lightning here?"

"Oh my god! Which genius invented this thing that can actually store lightning inside it?"

"Thank you, sir, how did you know that?"

Several ministers gathered around Censor Xie and asked curiously. As the Shan family passed by, Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou chuckled. General Shan gave Censor Xie a disdainful look and said, "You're pretending to know."

"Ah? General, is Lord Xie just making this up?"

Xie Yushi was so angry that he blew his beard, then remembered that his beard was gone. He glared at General Shan and said unhappily: "You know what I mean~"

"Humph~ This General doesn't understand, but my two daughters-in-law do. They are both top graduates from prestigious universities. Do you understand prestigious universities? They're even more impressive than our Imperial College!"

They really don’t understand what a famous university is, but they know about the Imperial College.

To be even more awesome than the Imperial College, that must be amazing. Can these two girls be even more awesome than those who graduated from the Imperial College?

The men looked at Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou with doubts in their eyes. It was good enough for a girl to know a few words, and she was even better than the Imperial College. Who would believe it?

Some women have doubts, while others are envious.

Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou were so embarrassed that they could have carved out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.

Lin Youyou tugged at General Shan's clothes and said, "Dad, that's enough. Don't exaggerate too much!"

"Dad, how could I be bragging? Didn't you two graduate from prestigious universities?"

Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou didn't know what to say. It was a famous university, sure, but it was completely different from the Imperial College!

The two of them paused for a moment, and the arrogant man began to sneer, "It's good enough for a girl to be able to serve her parents-in-law and husband well, and she's even better than the Imperial College. General, don't just brag about your high rank!"

"Yes, General~"

Then they surrounded Censor Xie and began to compliment him, but Censor Xie felt embarrassed to show off his skills in front of an expert.

General Shan has been commanding troops for decades. When has he ever been questioned like this?

"Daughter-in-law, explain it to them, let these ignorant bumpkins know, who says that girls can only stay at home and serve their parents-in-law?

Our Shan family's daughter-in-law is much better than these ignorant men!"

Liang Luowen said awkwardly: "Why don't we go in? It's so cold outside."

"Yes, Dad! It's enough for our family to know. What outsiders think is not important?" Lin Youyou said.

Shan Rongjie and Shan Ronghao also stepped forward to comfort their father, "Dad, what are you talking about? They won't understand even if you tell them."

The general's wife pulled him aside, her face looking very unhappy. "Let's go. You're like a monkey showman."

General Shan followed them into the hall reluctantly, and those who had originally questioned him thought that General Shan was bragging.

"Look, they're talking about being better than the Imperial College, but we let them talk about it, and they still walked away in disgrace!"
