At this time, Li Niyue's voice came from the corridor, "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Li Niyue led two maids over and saw Lu Lingjun coming, with a big smile on her face.
Seeing her coming, Grandma Wang walked up to Li Niyue in small steps and whispered in her ear what she had just seen about Xiao Cui.
Li Niyue frowned immediately, "Then how can Mr. Cui be so unreasonable! Sister Lu is still my mother-in-law's favorite. I have to explain it to her like this!"
"Okay, Sister Li." Lu Lingjun stepped forward and held her, "It's nothing."
"No way, that little Cui is used to being domineering. It's okay to bully us. Bullying you is really lawless. Even if her mother-in-law dotes on her, she has to apologize this time!" Li Niyue wanted to find an explanation for Lu Lingyun. .
"She didn't say anything wrong. She has nothing to apologize for." Lu Lingjun smiled calmly.
She is indeed a high-married woman, and it is understandable that the upper-class circles view her this way.
"Lingyun..."
"People must always be self-aware. I should be treated as I am. If I am weak and want to be respected, that is shameless."
Lu Lingjun always knows what identity deserves what status. He is weak and still wants to be respected by others. If he doesn't get respect, he will say bad things about others. That is acting like a hooligan and shameless.
If your strength is small, then work hard to become stronger.
Anyway, the days are still long.
As the tide turns, she will grow upwards. Let’s see another day.
After hearing what she said, Li Niyue's eyes sparkled and she said after a while, "You said it very well!"
She dragged Lu Lingyun to her yard to chat. She was originally grateful to Lu Lingyun because of the charcoal fire incident last time. After hearing about her completely different attitude towards life, she only regarded Lu Lingyun as a close friend.
He talked with her about what happened after the last charcoal fire incident, and then talked about the little Cui family in the backyard.
"My younger siblings could have entered the palace as concubines, but they all entered the final round of selection. Six of the eight talented ladies were selected, but she, the daughter of the same emperor's merchant, was not selected. How do you guess she was not selected?"
Lu Lingjun shook his head, "I can't guess."
How could she know this? A woman from Lu Lingjun's family background was not even qualified for the draft.
It was very strange to hear that Xiao Cui came to Beijing for the audition in the first place. Thinking that she wanted to have a family and good looks, who knew how she failed to be selected.
Li Niyue chuckled at this moment, "The Queen Mother said that her eyes were too fierce, and staring at her reminded her of the fierce gods in the Buddhist temple, so she put down her sign and gave flowers to drive her away."
Lu Lingjun: "..."
This little Cui family was from such a high family, so I'm afraid she didn't go for the concubine. In the end, she was dismissed by the Queen Mother because her eyes were too fierce. Then she would be pissed to death!
This is simply humiliating!
And the Queen Mother said so, it will be difficult for Xiao Cui to get married in the future.
"Is it okay for her to go back?" Lu Lingjun asked quickly.
"Of course we can't go home." Li Niyue glanced towards the north direction of Cui's courtyard. "My mother-in-law took her back to the Duke's Mansion and pointed her out to my brother-in-law."
Lu Lingjun showed it clearly, no wonder Xiao Cui also got married.
"My younger sister-in-law originally wanted to marry into the royal family, but in the end she only married into the Duke's palace. She disliked this and that, despised this and that, so she relied on my mother-in-law to love them both, or else Who likes her?" Li said what was in her heart.
Lu Lingjun smiled and said, "I do have a headache."
"But you said it well today. How this person wants to be viewed by others depends on his own strength. I have to fight hard and I can't let Xiao Cui look down on me."
"Sister, your family background is not bad to begin with." Lu Lingyun said.
Li Niyue's father was a second-rank official, and the crown prince and tutor also served as the censor of Zuodu.
The Censor of Zuodu was already one of the top three people in the Censorship, and the position of Crown Prince and Tutor was even more important to the Emperor's confidant.
When Li Niyue married into the Duke's palace, she was a perfect match, and she even married a little lowly. That is to say, Cui's mother-in-law had a higher status and could suppress her. Otherwise, she should be in charge of the whole family as soon as she entered the house.
"After my daughter gets married, she still has to look after herself. She can't always look to my father for everything." Li Niyue smiled.
"right."
Li Niyue said again at this time, "My father's health is not very good this year, so he has put aside his position as Crown Prince and Tutor for the time being, but he can't be idle either. Several uncles and scholars plan to create a school this year, and invite him to attend occasionally. During the first class, he accepted the request and told me that it would be great if my Qian'er was older and sent him to study at the age of three."
Lu Lingjun heard this, "But Tianfu Academy?"
"Yes, you heard about it too?"
How could Lu Lingyun of Tianfu Academy not know this!
That would be a top academy that would become famous in the future, ranking among the top three.
In the last life, in the later period, countless distinguished scholars tried their best to send their children to study. Basically, if you enter Tianfu Academy, you will have half a foot in the court.
Not only the teaching quality is top-notch, but the connections are top-notch.
"Of course I know the academy that the great Confucian sages want to establish."
In this life, Tianfu Academy had just been established, and not many people knew about it. It was only those who knew the Confucian masters who sent their own children to it.
In her previous life, Lu Lingjun also helped Li Wenxun pass the imperial examination because Tianfu Academy had obtained some imperial examination directions. She prepared all the imaginable test questions by exhaustive methods. At the same time, she knew that it was too difficult to enter Tianfu Academy.
"If you have suitable disciples from your prince's family, you can send them over," Li Niyue said.
When Lu Lingjun heard this, he was shocked and said, "Our Marquis Mansion currently has no children of the right age, but my younger brother is ten years old this year. Can you send him to Tianfu Academy?"
Li Niyue did not hesitate after hearing this, "No problem, I'll just tell my father."
Lu Lingjun had helped her before, and to her, this matter of going to school was just a small favor and she didn't care.
For Li Niyue, it was just a casual suggestion, but for Lu Lingyun, it was a rare opportunity. If Lu Kuan entered Tianfu Academy, he would be the first to ride on the east wind and rise rapidly.
"Sister Li, thank you so much!"
"Why are we sisters so polite? I will have to trouble you as the head of the family in the future."
"Sister, feel free to look for me." Lu Lingjun narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Lu Lingjun was happy after leaving Duke Xu's mansion. When she returned to the Hou's mansion, everyone was happy when she saw her. Even when she saw Xing Dairong, she asked with a smile on her face, "How are you doing lately? Do you need anything?"
Xing Dairong was surprised by Lu Lingjun's good mood, "Young madam, I'm fine."
"Take good care of the baby. If you need anything, tell me the manager." Lu Lingyun left.
Xing Dairong looked at her proud look, turned around and snorted, "Humph, what's there to be proud of!"
