After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

This is what Su Ziyu was waiting for. She came here with Shen Rujun today just to gain a good reputation.

"Oh, don't marry me. Only when two lovers truly meet can they be considered a perfect match."

Su Ziyou was eloquent and soon made the young ladies smile and even became like sisters.

But now, after all, she was married to the poor Shen Rujun, so the clothes she wore looked good, but in fact, the material was cheap.

Standing next to these young ladies, even though we were sisters, I still looked shabby.

"It's a pity that Sister Su is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her family background was not bad before she got married. Although Master Shen is well-educated, he is still poor after all."

The man covered his mouth with a handkerchief and looked Su Ziyu up and down, then looked at Su Jinhua who was sitting in the upper seat with a dim gaze.

Then he sneered, and the sarcasm in his voice couldn't be more obvious.

Su Ziyu was of course unhappy in his heart, but he managed his expression very well.

"Although my husband is from a poor family, he is very talented. As long as he has a good character, I don't care whether he is poor or not."

"Sister Su has a noble character. We can't compare to her."

That person started the sneer again, and the people standing behind her all laughed quietly for a while, covering their faces with their handkerchiefs.

Su Jinhua's face looked ugly for a moment, but soon calmed down.

"It's sad to say that Sister Su's elder sister married into a good family. It's the Yongyi Marquis Mansion."

Now that Su Ziyu is here, people will inevitably mention Su Jinhua. The family backgrounds of the two women they married into are very different.

Su Jinhua was sipping his tea when he noticed several gazes looking over at him from below.

Su Ziyu lowered his head and said something with a wronged look on his face. Some of those people frowned, while others gloated over his misfortune.

Banxia saw all this and had an even worse impression of the Second Young Lady. She muttered something to herself and it seemed like she was going to cause trouble.

At this time, the poetry competition had reached a fever pitch, with many talented students gathered together.

"Where is this going?" Su Jinhua asked with a smile.

"Princess, let's start making couplets now," Banxia replied.

"The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." A tall student shouted out the first couplet. His voice was full of confidence, and it was obvious that he was quite proud of his talent.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziyu walked forward. She was wearing a light green long skirt, the hem of which fluttered gently with her steps, making her look like a spring fairy.

"The autumn water and the sky are the same color; the setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together." Her second couplet complements each other, with profound artistic conception, winning applause from everyone present.

"What a beautiful scene: the autumn water and the sky are the same color, and the setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together." The student from Gao University exclaimed, "Mrs. Shen is indeed quick-witted. I admire her."

Su Ziyu nodded slightly in response.

Her eyes swept through the crowd and finally fell on Shen Rujun.

"Brother Shen, your sister-in-law's talent is really on par with yours. You two are really a perfect match made in heaven, a couple made in heaven."

Shen Rujun smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

The ladies sitting in the upper seats were also amazed and praised Su Ziyu.

By the way, they observed Su Jinhua's expression. She looked indifferent and didn't show much expression, which made them puzzled.

I can't help wondering if the two of them were at odds in the mansion? Especially Mrs. Qiu, she didn't dare to say much at this time.

He ate his cakes quietly and didn't make any comments.

After Su Ziyu finished his presentation, it was naturally Shen Rujun's turn, especially since someone pushed the two of them together.

They are a talented couple and it is really pleasing to the eye standing together.

The position they occupied was just opposite Su Jinhua, so they could see him as soon as they looked up.

There was nothing unusual on Su Ziyu's face. Shen Rujun just glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then lowered his eyes.

"Brother Shen, since you are about to take the imperial examination, I would like to ask you some questions."

"Please say."

"Brother Shen, what do you think of the people's livelihood?"

Shen Rujun smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and answered in a steady voice: "In Shen's opinion, the livelihood of the people is the cornerstone of stability, and prosperity is inseparable from the hard work and stable life of the people.

"As the saying goes, the people are the foundation of a country, and a country will be stable if its foundation is solid..."

Regarding these, Shen Rujun paid the most attention to them when reviewing his lessons, and they were also the most important things to be tested in the imperial examinations.

He knew all the Chinese classics by heart.

The speech won applause from the whole room, and made people feel that every student who graduated from Zhuolin Academy was truly amazing.

Even if he didn't get the top spot because of his family background, his ranking wouldn't be too bad.

Some people at the scene are already eager to make friends with Shen Rujun.

Su Jinhua sat upright in the seat of honor. If she ignored Shen Rujun's barely perceptible glance, she might have genuinely felt a bit of admiration for him.

"The people are the foundation of the country. If the foundation is solid, the country will be stable."

Su Jinhua clapped his hands lightly, then walked down from the seat of honor with a smile, his steps gracefully and lightly, as if flowers were blooming under his feet.

Her stunning beauty gradually caught the attention of the Chinese people, taking their breath away.

When she was sitting in the upper seat, no one dared to look at her, but after she came down, her beauty was truly eye-catching.

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess." Shen Rujun said, with a lightness in her tone that even he didn't notice.

"Mr. Shen's words are really worth ten years of study."

"That's ridiculous."

Su Ziyu walked calmly in front of Shen Rujun and smiled faintly: "Sister, do you also understand these things? Or do you want to give me some advice on your unique insights into people's affairs?"

Shen Rujun only frowned, slightly dissatisfied with Su Ziyu's behavior.

But suddenly, the scene of Su Ziyu crying to him about how Su Jinhua suppressed her in the mansion emerged in his mind, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated.

Su Jinhua had no time to guess what his expression meant. She had just heard that Shen Rujun's views on public affairs were too superficial.

I was just reciting the book and repeating what was in it.

Su Ziyu stared into Su Jinhua's eyes, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he sneered in his heart.

If you dare to bring up this kind of topic, don't blame me for setting a trap for her.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Su Jinhua chuckle and nodded, "I have learned a little bit from the Princess' teachings."

Everyone immediately listened attentively, wanting to hear what the Crown Prince's wife had to say about the country's affairs.

Su Jinhua looked at Shen Rujun again.

"What Master Shen said just now is very true. The livelihood of the people is indeed the foundation of the country. However, I think we should think more deeply about this issue."

“Although there are many discussions about people’s livelihood in ancient books, we cannot just stay on these superficial words.”

"Only if we truly understand the livelihood of the people and care about their sufferings and needs can we understand their livelihood."

Su Jinhua's words attracted the attention of everyone present. She did not directly refute Shen Rujun's point of view, but explored the issue in a more in-depth way.

Her words revealed a genuine concern for the people and a deep understanding of practical issues, which was much more insightful than Shen Rujun's.
