"How are you doing in the Dragon Guard recently?"
"Very good. Master Gu and the others take good care of me. I am now a commander in the army."
Sheng Changwu sounded very happy. He had been promoted less than a year after joining the army. He knew that all this was because of Zhou Chen.
Especially after Zhou Chen was granted the title of Duke of the State, although his position in Ma Junsi remained unchanged, his status became higher. Everyone knew that his sister was the concubine of Duke Jing, so who dared not give him face?
He knew that everything he had came from Zhou Chen, so he was naturally infinitely grateful, and he naturally cared and cared for his sister even more.
Although he was unable to study well, he was still smart and knew that as long as his sister lived well in the Duke's Mansion, he would have no worries about his future.
Zhou Chen said: "You still need to train and improve well, and you can't just limit yourself to the present."
"yes."
"Stay and eat together later."
"Thank you, uncle."
Zhou Chen stayed with Shulan for a long time. When he knew that she was tired and wanted to rest, he left Shulan's yard.
He was very satisfied with Sheng Shulan. Shulan was never jealous and was very considerate. She always spoke softly and was very gentle.
It is natural for people to like such a concubine who does not have to worry about it.
Zhou Chen returned to the master bedroom of Chaoyun Pavilion and saw Hua Lan sitting beside the bed in a daze. He didn't even hear him come in.
It wasn't until he walked in front of Hua Lan that she realized what he was doing.
"Guanren, you are back. Is Sister Shulan okay?"
"Well, she's pretty good. What's wrong with you? You're in a daze, with a depressed look on your face?"
Hua Lan said depressedly: "She's not my mother yet. You also know that Ru Lan glanced at a scholar my father brought into the house. This time it will be that person who won the second-level Jinshi. Ru Lan is not that person.
I have been quarreling with my mother for a long time about not marrying. You also know that my mother wants to marry Ru Lan to a higher class, so naturally she does not want Ru Lan to marry that Jinshi Wen Yanjing."
"That's all. But something happened today. Did you know that Mr. Qi was also a first-class scholar in high school? Today, his mother, Princess Pingning, came with a matchmaker to ask for the sixth sister's hand in marriage. She happened to be with him.
Wen Yanjing, who also brought a matchmaker to propose marriage, bumped into each other."
"This is great. My mother was originally dissatisfied with the Jinshi that Ru Lan was looking for. Now the Duke of Qi has come to ask for the sixth sister to marry her. Comparing the two, you haven't seen how dark my mother's face was at that time. If Ru Lan was then
If she had been there, I think mother would have beaten Ru Lan to death."
Zhou Chen laughed out loud. He could imagine how ugly his mother-in-law's face was at that time. She wanted to marry her daughter into a high-ranking family, but in the end, her daughter found a new scholar, or a second-class scholar.
But Sheng Minglan, who had always looked down upon her, was not only attracted by Mrs. Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's Palace, but now even the Duke of Qi's Palace came to propose marriage.
It is conceivable that she will definitely teach Ru Lan a lesson afterwards, and Ru Lan will definitely not be able to escape.
