"What's the name of that student?"

"It seems her surname is Shen and her given name is Rujun."

"It's a good name, but it's a pity that it was born that way."

Everyone present knew that even if one was a noble son from a poor family, in Kyoto, even a stone thrown could hit the son of a powerful person.

If you want to become an official and do well in the government, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Is this person married?"

"Of course, I heard that he married the second young lady of the Su family."

Mrs. Qiu was a gossipy person, and she told the story immediately when someone asked her about it.

"Su family, which Su family?"

There are so many powerful people in Kyoto, and families with the surname Su are numerous, but there are very few who are famous. Mrs. Qiu's words obviously confused them.

"It's the Su family in the Ministry of Rites, Su Yuandong." Someone reminded in a low voice.

After all, this matter caused quite a stir at the time. The Su family married off two daughters on the same day, one to the eldest son of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and the other to the poor Shen family.

I heard that the girl who married the eldest daughter of the Su family, Marquis Yongyi, attracted the envy of many people. Why didn’t they get to enjoy such a great opportunity?

However, rumors about Gu Yanan's romantic life also spread throughout the capital. He took three concubines before marrying a wife, which caused a sensation in the city at the time.

Everyone guessed that the eldest princess might be very troubled by this, so she was eager for him to marry a wife as soon as possible.

"Sixth rank? Although he is in the Ministry of Rites, he is not a high-ranking official." Some people began to whisper.

Mrs. Qiu was about to respond when someone pulled her sleeve.

She looked at the man who was pulling her sleeve, confusion on her face.

The man looked at Su Jinhua, then looked at her again and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is the eldest daughter of the Su family."

Mrs. Qiu was so engrossed in the conversation that she even forgot about this incident. She gossiped about someone else's sister and brother-in-law in front of them. Now she was giving them face by not slamming the table in anger.

What's worse is that she was the one who brought up this topic first.

We were all sitting together, so no matter how low the voice was, someone would be able to hear it.

As soon as these words were spoken, the voices of discussion fell silent for a moment.

"Princess, I speak directly, please don't be angry."

Mrs. Qiu broke out in a cold sweat. The eldest princess was in charge of the Marquis' Mansion. If she made Su Jinhua unhappy, she would be making the eldest princess unhappy.

Mrs. Qiu's clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.

Su Jinhua smiled slightly: "It's okay, Madam Qiu doesn't need to be so nervous. I didn't say this to avoid suspicion. A person's character is related to his future. If he has a good character and is honest and upright, his future will naturally be bright and brilliant."

“It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach based on family background.”

After hearing Su Jinhua's words, everyone lowered their heads silently, feeling ashamed of themselves. Su Jinhua calmly drank a sip of tea.

"My sister's choice to marry Mr. Shen is her own choice. As her elder sister, I naturally support her. However, I will not become their safe haven as the consort of the Marquis's son. The imperial examination depends on one's own ability, and I will not violate the laws of the dynasty to protect them."

After she said this, her eyes were sharp, and the majesty of the Crown Prince's Consort was all around her, quite similar to the authority of the eldest princess.

The ladies were even more shocked by this momentum, and they felt more awe towards Su Jinhua.

But the atmosphere was awkward after all, and many people glared at Mrs. Qiu.

If she hadn't brought this up, how could things have been so embarrassing?

"I heard that Yanyu Weaving has produced a new piece of Moonlight Brocade. I'm planning to buy two pieces to make spring clothes. I wonder if you sisters have any suggestions?" Su Jinhua smiled and naturally changed the subject.

Mrs. Qiu gave her a look of gratitude, and Su Jinhua nodded and smiled, then started chatting with everyone.

……

In the courtyard, many talented men and ladies gathered together and had a great time discussing poetry and songs.

Until a scream interrupted the discussion and everyone looked towards the door.

"Isn't this Shen Rujun from Zhuolin Academy? He is actually coming to this poetry gathering?"

"Who is the woman next to him?"

"It's his wife, the second young lady of the Su family."

"I didn't expect him to come here. It's worth it. I heard that the academy over there praised him highly. I want to see if his reputation is just exaggerated."

Shen Rujun was dressed in a blue shirt, looking quite scholarly, with a delicate and handsome face, giving a feeling of the breeze and bright moon.

The woman next to him was also wearing a green dress. Her face was lightly made up. She was as pretty as Shen Rujun, but with a little more lovely spirit.

At first glance, they really look like a couple.

When Shen Rujun stepped into the courtyard, naturally people gathered around him to discuss poetry with him.

Naturally, there were some acquaintances of Su Ziyu at this poetry reading. When they saw that she was there, they went over immediately.

As soon as the two came in, they felt like fish in water and quickly became friends with the people around them.

Shen Rujun was a talented person, and soon people started talking to him about their ideals in life and felt that he was a soulmate.

Su Jinhua was sitting in the upper seat and saw the whole scene clearly, and understood even more clearly the purpose of Su Yuandong's forcing Shen Rujun into the poetry meeting.

Didn't the academy praise him for his talent and talent? Then he would let Shen Rujun live up to his reputation. If Shen Rujun really made a splash at the poetry meeting, it would be a big deal.

Su Yuandong gained a lot of benefits, and with the help of his son-in-law, he could be more stable in his career. Shen Rujun had to accept the favor. The two of them would naturally be more stable in their careers as they relied on each other.

But Su Yuandong is an old fox. Yesterday, she specifically asked Banxia to find out who invited Shen Rujun to the poetry reading.

The person who originally sent the invitation to Shen Rujun was supposed to be Su Ziyu, who invited her as a close friend, and the father of her close friend had some connections with Su Yuandong.

After spending some money and giving some gifts, he posted an invitation and invited the two of them to come over.

Even if Shen Rujun is really mediocre and is just good at talking, Su Yuandong will not expose himself.

When it comes to interests, Su Yuandong knows it better than anyone else. Even if this matter fails, Su Ziyu's reputation will be ruined.

As long as it doesn't involve him.

Anyway, Su Ziyu is already married, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to get away with it.

Su Jinhua took a sip of tea. When she looked across the courtyard, Su Ziyu's gaze also met her sight.

Looking at the person sitting in the hall, Su Ziyu felt jealous.

If in her previous life, she was still the Crown Prince's Consort of the Marquis's Mansion, then at this very moment's poetry gathering, she must be at the top and she at the bottom.

"Ziyou, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? But your clothes are too thin."

"It's okay. It's Chinese New Year soon. I stayed with my husband to study and went to bed a little late."

"Your husband actually asked you to help him review his lessons?!"

"Yes, Rujun treats me very well and is very talented. I value this and am willing to be with him. In fact, I think it doesn't matter whether a person is rich or not. Marrying the right person is the right path."

Su Ziyu's face turned red, and she was a little shy when she spoke about it, which made several unmarried ladies very envious.

"You two are the legendary couple. When will I meet my true love?"
