It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 784 Meng Zonglu, Su Yongzhi

Not two days after the three feasts, the emperor got a list of names that had been corrected except for the top three.

After thinking about it three times, he chose the top three that he was satisfied with. As for the rest, he didn't think much about it, so he asked people to prepare for the announcement of the rankings tomorrow morning...

Meng Mingzhou saw the beaming face of the Minister of the Ministry of War who came back from the morning court, and found it very strange. After all, the Ministry of War has been arguing with the Ministry of Households for supplies for several days recently, and Master Shang Shu frowned every day when he returned to the Ministry of War .

"Did anything good happen today, my lord?"

Minister of the Ministry of War saw Meng Mingzhou's smile grow wider, "It's a good thing, but Mingzhou, I'll let you guess what it is."

Meng Mingzhou was speechless, thinking why is Master Shangshu so childish?But still tentatively asked, "Has the Ministry of Households approved the money?"

The smile on the military minister's face faded when he heard the words, "Today, my lord, I am in a good mood, so don't mention anything that makes me feel bad..."

Meng Mingzhou turned around speechlessly and was about to leave, "Master Shangshu, the next official has something to do, go first..."

In the end, before he had time to leave, the Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly grabbed him, "Hey, don't go, it's okay, I won't tease you, it's the ranking of your two younger brothers..."

Meng Mingzhou raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the ranking coming tomorrow?"

Minister of the Ministry of War smiled and stroked his beard, "Haha, it will be announced tomorrow, but the results have already come out this morning, and His Majesty also told me the rankings of your two younger brothers... Do you want to guess how many ranks you can get?"

Meng Mingzhou looked at the Minister of War with a foolish expression on his face, and then he spoke after a while, "Anyway, it's definitely not the first class, and it's impossible for the third class, so it can only be the second class."

The soldier's smile froze on his face, "You, how do you know?"

Meng Mingzhou rolled his eyes in his heart, and spread his hands helplessly, "My lord, when the exam is over, everyone knows who the top three are. One is a young genius from the south who is only seventeen this year, and the other is the minister of the Ministry of Industry." The son of the family, and the other is the son of the An Ning Hou family, who is very knowledgeable, but if they don't make any big mistakes in the palace examination, then Yi Jia must be the three of them..."

Minister of the Ministry of War was surprised, "Hey, why don't you think that your two younger brothers are top three?"

Meng Mingzhou said lightly, "Although my two younger brothers are not as knowledgeable as the top three who entered the first class, I also believe that they will definitely not get a low score..."

"..."

Minister of the Ministry of War felt that teasing Meng Mingzhou was extremely boring, he blew his beard and stared for a long time, and said with a soft "hum", "Then I won't tell you the ranking, so you can just scratch your head and think about it all night."

"..."

Meng Mingzhou was speechless looking at Lord Shangshu who was walking away, and thought to himself, is this really Lord Shangshu who fought one against a hundred on the battlefield when he was young?Why are you so childish?
Going home at night, Meng Mingzhou looked at Su Chenrui, Meng Mingxu, and Meng Tao in the front hall and didn't know what they were talking about.

"Grandpa, Dad..."

Hearing the movement, Meng Tao looked up at Meng Mingzhou, "Mingzhou is back..."

Su Chenrui, Meng Mingxu and Su Chennan hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Big brother/big brother-in-law..."

Meng Mingzhou nodded with a smile. As soon as he sat down, he saw Meng Zong'an and his two younger brothers running to him and hugging his legs.

"Daddy, you are back, Zong An and his brothers miss you..."

Meng Mingzhou touched the heads of all three sons, "Daddy misses you too..."

Nan Yu couldn't speak, but he also approached and saluted.

Meng Mingzhou also patted his head, and said with a smile, "Yu'er has grown a lot taller..."

Nan Yu nodded embarrassedly.

Mingzhou sat down and looked around, and asked, "Zong An, where is your grandma, auntie, sister Fang'er and younger sister?"

Meng Zong'an sat next to Meng Mingzhou, "Grandma is going to cook by herself today, mother and auntie are going to help, sister Fang'er and younger sister are also going with them..."

"Ah."

Meng Mingzhou understood.

Meng Zhongshan saw that the younger ones were sitting around Meng Mingzhou, and smiled, "Mingzhou, your grandfather and I have named the children of your two younger brothers a few names, and now Mingxu and Chen Rui are already picky. , would you like to help choose one?"

Meng Mingzhou smiled and said, "It seems that grandpa and dad have a lot of names?"

Meng Tao stroked his beard kindly, "Isn't it? They each took three names."

After speaking, he asked Meng Mingxu and Su Chenrui to show the written names to Meng Mingzhou.

Meng Mingzhou took it with a smile, and saw that on the first piece of paper was written "Su Yongzhi, Su Yonghong, Su Yongpei", while on the second piece of paper was written "Meng Zonglu, Meng Zongzhe, Meng Zonglin".

After a long while, I put down the two pieces of paper and said slowly, "Knowledge or reading is wisdom, meaning is wisdom, such as "Xunzi·Rectification of Names": "So the words of those who know." I think the name Yongzhi is good..."

"The standard for judging the pitch of music is to divide the sound into six rhythms (yang rhythm) and six frets (yin rhythm), collectively called "twelve rhythms."

"It also extends to "restraint", such as self-discipline."

"So Meng Zonglu is not bad..."

Meng Tao nodded, "Yes, yes, you explained well, Mingzhou, it seems that you have not slackened your studies."

Su Chenrui and Meng Mingzhou said in unison, "Then use these two names."

Meng Mingzhou laughed, "I just think these two words are good, you don't need to listen to me..."

Su Chenrui said seriously, "Brother-in-law, I believe in your choice."

Meng Mingxu nodded, "Brother, I also believe in you..."

Meng Mingzhou nodded helplessly, "Okay, as long as you are really satisfied..."

When Su Rui and his party came back, they found out that the names of the men in the family had been discussed for an afternoon and finally decided on their names.

Su Chenrui's son is called Su Yongzhi, and Meng Mingxu's son is called Meng Zonglu...

Thinking of this, Su Rui's thoughts drifted away, wondering if Su Ying's child was born...
Here, when Ren Yanjun came back from outside the city in a hurry, Su Ying had already been cleaned up, and she was looking at the baby girl next to her with tender eyes.

Ren Yanjun walked to the bed panting, "Ying'er...Thank you for your hard work..."

Su Ying raised her head and looked at Ren Yanjun, who was covered in sweat, her eyes filled with distress, "Why are you running in such a hurry? Didn't the person sent to find you explain clearly?"

Su Ying knew that Ren Yanjun took the officials of Zhoucheng to patrol outside the city today, so she didn't ask her servants to look for her when she gave birth, because she was afraid that Ren Yanjun would be in a hurry and send someone to inform her after she gave birth.

Ren Yanjun carefully sat on the edge of the bed, holding Su Ying's hand tightly with both hands, "Ying'er, you know, your safety is more important than anything else in my heart..."
