Chapter 268 Jealousy

Sun Huaiqing lives in Courtyard No. 4 of Guanghua Garden. He is an early arrival, but this spring, he is ranked 231st on the list.

This spring, there were 232 people on the list, and Sun Huaiqing was really on the sidelines.

It was a joy to be on the list, but seeing everyone ranked higher than him made Sun Huaiqing feel quite uncomfortable.

Those people were all younger than each other, especially Song Langjun, who won the title of Hui Yuan, who was two years younger than his youngest son.

At such a young age, he can become a high school senior, and his ranking in the palace examination will definitely be high because the current emperor prefers young talents, and his future prospects will certainly be unlimited.

But now he has a long beard and beard, and he will be a grandfather in two years. Even if he is a high school tribute student and gets an official position, he may not be able to enjoy it for a few years.

Comparing people to each other is really going to piss people off.

Sun Huaiqing sighed.

"Why is Mr. Sun sighing so well?" the student on the side asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter." Sun Huaiqing waved his hands, trying not to let others see the loneliness and jealousy on his face at this time. He rolled his eyes and sighed again, "It's just a sigh of relief."

"What are you feeling?" Someone else was surprised.

"Mr. Song is young and talented. Now he is a high school freshman. He will surely shine in the palace examination. His future is limitless. It's a pity..." Sun Huaiqing paused deliberately.

Several students on the side looked at each other in shock when they heard this, wondering what the pity Sun Huaiqing was talking about was.

Sun Huaiqing saw that everyone's eyes were wide open, just waiting to hear the next words, and he deliberately cleared his throat, "It's a pity that I heard that Mr. Song is a son-in-law, which really buried Mr. Song's talents."

"There is no explicit decree in this dynasty that stipulates that a son-in-law cannot take the imperial examination and serve as an official. Even if Song Langjun is a son-in-law, it will not have any impact on his future." Some people expressed confusion.

"You are still too young and don't know the dangers of this world." Sun Huaiqing said earnestly, "When this son-in-law comes to the bride's family, he depends on his father-in-law's family for food and accommodation. It can be said that he is completely dependent on others. No one else can feel the feeling."

"Furthermore, ordinary people can only marry daughters, and those who can recruit sons-in-law are good at calculations and are willing to spend money. To be able to allow Song Langjun to go out to study for the imperial examination, the expectations for him must be very high. I guess they are just waiting for Mr. Song to reach high school one day, and then they will firmly hold Mr. Song in their hands and seek all the benefits. Mr. Song’s life will definitely be difficult in the future!"

Although everyone has never personally experienced the life and mood of being a son-in-law, they have seen or heard about the plight of some sons-in-law. Now when they hear Sun Huaiqing say this, they all can't help but feel sorry for Song Jingyun.

But some people frowned, "But I think Mrs. Jiang looks gentle and virtuous. She is an ordinary peasant woman, but she also looks very knowledgeable and sensible. She doesn't look like she was raised by a tricky family."

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing their hearts, and Mr. Song will have to travel outside in the future, and this is the capital. Naturally, she, a village woman, would not dare to make any mistakes, but if it is behind closed doors..." Sun Huaiqing curled his lips.

"A few days ago, I saw Mr. Song and Mrs. Jiang buying a lot of bamboo. I heard that Mr. Song wanted to weave something for use. Please listen, is this what a scholar should do?"
