Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 257 A Humble Son from a Poor Family VS A Noble Son 20
Emperor Zhou Fuyun wore a bright yellow dragon robe, and his height appeared to be about the same as that of Sheng Yuan today. His brows exuded an imperial aura.
Zhou Fuyun specifically pointed out Sheng Yuan.
"It seems the Feng family knows how to choose a son-in-law; he's truly a handsome young man," Zhou Fuyun said meaningfully.
"Your Majesty flatters me. It is my honor to be chosen by Young Master Feng."
Zhou Fuyun was surprised by Pei Ze's response; it was quite interesting.
He raised an eyebrow, his face full of regret, and continued, "I remember that three years ago, Young Master Feng's policy essay was praised by everyone in the capital. It's just a pity that his health has been poor these past few years. If he could have entered the court as an official... what a pity!"
"Loyalty to the emperor and love for one's country are not limited by social status."
Sheng Yuan remained calm. Seeing how composed he was, Zhou Fuyun decided not to press the matter further, knowing what kind of person he was anyway.
What appears to be a lament for Feng Yun marrying into a poor family and becoming a male wife is actually an attempt to sow discord between Sheng Yuan and Feng Yun.
This is similar to her breaking off the engagement back then.
Feng Cibai and Chen Waizu's expressions didn't change, but their hearts skipped a beat.
I'm afraid this will plant a thorn in Sheng Yuan's heart.
Sheng Yuan understood what he meant, but he wasn't angry at all.
What's there to be angry about when you can marry such an outstanding partner?
Thanks to Feng Yun's connections, Sheng Yuan quickly obtained a position in the Ministry of Revenue and even had the opportunity to attend court.
Pei Cheng and Pei Zhou, however, were not so lucky and had to wait for the assessment.
When Pei's father went to rest in Aunt Luo's room, she whispered in his ear that Pei Ze had a bright future but didn't know how to help his brother.
Pei's father rolled his eyes at her and went to rest in Aunt Yao's room in the next courtyard.
In Pei's father's view, the Minister of Revenue was the maternal grandfather of his third son's wife, so naturally he would be helping his third son.
It's a favor they've done for us, how can we shamelessly ask for it back?
If we were to actually say this, it would make people think that the Pei family is insatiable, which would actually damage our relationship.
Moreover, if the third son performs well in the Ministry of Revenue, then why should his two sons, who performed better than him in the exams, have no worries about their future?
Aunt Luo was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do but sulk.
Meanwhile, Madam Pei found Pei Ge a good marriage.
After the Spring Banquet, Madam Pei realized that the capital was not like Suzhou, and the Pei family was too insignificant here.
So she took it upon herself to marry Pei Ge to a failed scholar.
Although he failed the imperial examination this time, he has a father who is a fifth-rank official, and he is still young, so his future is still uncertain.
Moreover, the family is small, with only the parents-in-law to be cared for, and no relatives or sisters-in-law. I heard that their ancestral home is Suzhou, and the backyard is clean, with no concubines or mistresses.
She fell in love with Pei Ge at first sight on the day of the Spring Banquet.
This young master is three years younger than Pei Ge, but even knowing Pei Ge's age, he did not change his mind.
At the spring banquet, Madam Pei immediately noticed that this young master Su was interested in Pei Ge. However, he was very polite and greeted her, but then he kept saying that his mother had come to ask about Pei Ge.
Sure enough, on the second day after the spring banquet, they came to propose marriage.
The wedding was not extravagant, and the timing might seem rushed, but that's not actually the case.
The Su family has been trying to arrange a marriage for their son, but he has never had anyone he likes and is unwilling to marry.
Now that they've finally found someone they like, the whole family is naturally excited.
Although the Pei family was of humble origin, they had connections with a marquis's family, so Su's father did not object.
Mother Su was also genuinely satisfied with Pei Ge's calm and gentle demeanor that day.
The things for the wedding were prepared well in advance.
Madam Pei had already prepared Pei Ge's dowry, originally hoping that Pei Ge could help Pei Cheng, but now she only hoped that she would be safe.
With Pei Ge marrying into the Su family, Madam Pei was finally relieved of a worry.
Aunt Luo was pleased to see that Pei Ge had only married into a minor official's family.
Her daughter, Pei Qin, is destined to marry into a high-ranking and wealthy family; she won't end up like her, who is so unambitious.
On Sheng Yuan's first day in office, which was also his first day attending court, Feng Yun woke up as soon as he moved. He rubbed his eyes and snuggled his face against Sheng Yuan's shoulder. "Hmm~ Are you going to court this morning?"
"Mmm." Sheng Yuan patted his back. "Sleep a little longer, and I'll wake you up when I get back, okay?"
Feng Yun nodded, half-asleep.
Seeing Sheng Yuan's calm expression, Chen's maternal grandfather nodded in satisfaction.
Lady Hou was Chen's maternal grandfather's only daughter, and she was pampered even when she was still a young lady. Naturally, he would grant any request his own daughter made.
This grandson-in-law was even more satisfactory than he had imagined.
The matters discussed at the morning court session had nothing to do with him, a newly arrived sixth-rank official.
In Ziyun Courtyard, Feng Yun woke up and approached Sui Yun to ask, "Would the young master like to get up?"
“No.” Feng Yun refused without hesitation.
He turned over and went back to sleep, waiting for Sheng Yuan to wake him up.
When the court session ended, the two ministers argued fiercely, while Zhou Fuyun left looking leisurely and carefree.
Feng Cibai, Feng Chang, and Chen Waizu got together.
"Are you going to the Ministry of Revenue with your maternal grandfather now?" Feng Chang asked.
Sheng Yuan said, "Zi Yuan hasn't taken his medicine yet, I have to go back."
Feng Chang rolled her eyes at him, "That kid is so spoiled by you that he can't do any chores anymore."
“He is well-versed in poetry and literature and knowledgeable in politics. He is also skilled in poetry and prose. He manages all the affairs at home. How can you say that? It’s just that his health is not good, so he naturally has to be careful.” Sheng Yuan refuted Feng Chang’s words.
Sheng Yuan apologized to his maternal grandfather, saying, "I hope my maternal grandfather will forgive me. Zi Yuan's health has just improved a little, but I am still a little worried. After having breakfast with him, I will rush to the Ministry of Revenue."
"Ziyuan looks much better. There's nothing serious here, so you can go now." Grandfather Chen still had his own selfish reasons. Rather than letting him slack off at the Ministry of Revenue, he thought it better to go back and take good care of his grandson's health.
"He cares too much about personal relationships; what will become of him in the future?" Feng Chang sighed, watching Sheng Yuan's retreating figure.
"Ah!" Feng Cibai's slap landed squarely on Feng Chang's head, startling Feng Chang into crying out.
Feng Cibai couldn't help but slap Feng Chang on the head. "How can you talk like that? If he changes his mind, it will be your own brother who suffers. You spoke ill of your brother like this in public. Have you thought about his reputation? It's fortunate that your son-in-law is reasonable, otherwise I'd like to see how you explain this to your grandmother and mother."
When Sheng Yuan returned, he took off his official hat, lifted the bed curtains, and found Feng Yun still asleep, though his eyelashes were trembling.
Sheng Yuan reached out and scooped the person up, holding them in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss Feng Yun's lips.
"Mmm~ Mmm!"
Caught off guard by Sheng Yuan's kiss, Feng Yun stopped pretending to be asleep and pushed Sheng Yuan's chest hard.
"I haven't washed up yet!" Feng Yun glared at him, complaining, "You kissed me too roughly."
"I was wrong, I'll be gentler next time." Sheng Yuan lowered his head and kissed his lips again. "Get up, I've had breakfast with you, then I'll be leaving."
Feng Yun nodded.
……
The night wind was blowing, and Liu Ruyan, feeling uneasy and unable to sleep lately, put on a cloak and went for a walk.
"come out."
In the tranquil garden, Liu Ruyan suddenly gave a command to the air.
The next instant, a burly man dressed in black appeared in front of her.
