Wang Ru had no intention of getting out of the car, she held the curtain and looked at the old couple of the Zhou family carefully. The change was so great, and she felt more and more that her guess was right, “Grandma Zhou, do you know the Monkey King?”1
This was the result of her two months of thinking. She felt that her wings were not powerful enough to make Old Zhou a scholar. Someone must have traveled through like her.
Zhulan could hold her nerve. She had the modern compulsory course in managing her facial expressions so that no one could read her mind. “Sanya, why can’t grandma understand what you are saying? And you just came back from Pingzhou? You are not young anymore. You went to Pingzhou alone, you and Erya didn’t learn enough lessons? You don’t care about your own reputation, and you can’t cheat your two sisters like this!”
Anyone who doesn’t go out knows that Fourth Wang’s family was already in trouble because of Wang Ru’s reputation. The eldest two girls had a bad reputation. Later, the Zhou family came to visit. Although it only affected Erya and Wang Ru, it actually also affected Daya. This time Wang Ru left for more than two months and no one followed her. There was no engagement, and there was no matchmaker or retainer to follow the foreign man. This time, the two girls did not dare to go out, and they had a bad reputation around the neighboring villages.
She also heard from Li Shi that the scoundrels in the village were hanging around in front of Fourth Wang’s house, waiting to take advantage of him!
Wang Ru’s face turned dark because she finally realized how important reputation was in ancient times. This time she lived in Pingzhou with the Shi family. Although she lived in Shi Qing’s yard, she was often harassed by people who used her reputation to step on her. Even if she had no intention of getting involved with Shi Qing, she knew from the various sarcastic comments that her reputation was gone. Fortunately, she was still young.
Wang Ru suppressed her anger and stared into Yang Shi’s eyes. She was also someone who had experienced family fights. She thought that her scheming skills were not comparable to Yang Shi’s. She only saw contempt and derision in Yang Shi’s eyes. She suppressed her anger. She got up again, cursing in her mind that Yang Shi must be an ancient person for taking reputation so seriously. It seemed that she was overthinking, and it was indeed her arrival that changed things.
However, she was indeed frightened by Old Zhou being admitted as a xiucai. The only thing that comforted her was that she knew from Shi Qing’s mouth that the provincial examination was not easy to pass and that not everyone could pass the examination. Old Zhou was already quite old and had poor health. His academic quality was not good either. If he takes the exam for more than ten or twenty years, his body will not be able to bear it. After thinking about it, her apprehension about Old Zhou eased a lot. She snorted and said to the coachman: “Let’s go.”
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked at the carriage driving away, and then the two of them turned around and continued walking. When they reached the river, the view was empty and no one was around. Zhulan said: “Wang Ru only guessed about me!”
She was not afraid of Wang Ru guessing about her. If the Zhou family changed at such a big age, Wang Ru was really hopelessly stupid for not guessing about her, but she wasn’t that smart either. Zhou Shuren held Zhu Lan’s hand. There was finally no one around. It was a world of two. It was a rare opportunity.
“Wang Ru will still speculate on our family in the future, but it won’t limit you. My daughter will become the focus of speculation.”
Zhulan smiled, “Fortunately, we have never taught the children of the Zhou family any ideas beyond ancient times. Even we are living according to ancient rules. Wang Ru’s guess is useless. In the end, she must have thought that it was her wings that were hard. What an idiot!”
Zhou Shuren sneered, “Her wings are also very stiff, and she made a fool of the other two girls of the Wang family.”
Zhulan was not a person who was overflowing with sympathy. She did not sympathize with Wang Erya and Wang Rong, but she sympathizes with Wang Da. Wang Xin was an honest girl who will have a hard life in the future. If she doesn’t marry well, she will suffer for the rest of her life. But then again, if Wang Ru didn’t come, the Wang family’s girl wouldn’t be able to marry well, and that Wang Zhang Shi was not a thing either!
Zhulan and Zhou enjoyed the rare moment of privacy without any interruptions. They didn’t want to discuss Wang Ru, as their interactions with her were limited to just this year. After moving to Pingzhou, they will have little contact. After Zhou Shuren passes the imperial examination, the class divisions will become quite distinct. Unless Wang Ru could quickly get involved with the male lead, it seemed like her reputation was tarnished, and she was taken by Shi Qing. The original plot had completely changed. In the original plot, Wang Ru was only involved in business and had never followed Shi Qing. Given this unexpected turn in the plot, it’s hard to predict what will happen next.
At Fourth Wang’s house, Wang Ru brought back a lot of gifts. In the main hall, her father looked at the boxes of gifts, which contained clothes, snacks, and wine. Sun Shi’s gaze, on the other hand, was fixed on Wang Ru, who was wearing new jewelry. Eventually, her attention shifted to several small boxes in Wang Ru’s hands.
Sun Shi hugged her son and said, “Daughter, do you have the golden lock in your hand for your brother?”
