Chapter 407 Yu Nanwang's Background
Sun Shan's gratitude to Zhou Yigao for saving his life was like ripples in a lake, which disappeared in a short while.
Everything is the same as before, but it has become different in the sameness.
Mr. Zhou comes once every five days, and the academy also prepares a temporary residence for him.
Little Zhou Yigao recovered from his illness and continued to study at the academy. Zhou Yigao usually lived in Mr. Zhou's temporary residence with his servants.
Since being rescued by Sun Shan, Zhou Yigao has become Sun Shan's fanboy and comes to the dormitory to play with Sun Shan all day long.
Zhou Yigao sat in the pavilion, munching on pastries, next to Sun Shan, and listened happily to Qian Yingyang complaining to Zhu Pengyun.
Qian Yingyang complained, "This afternoon, after I finished my meal, I accidentally splashed vegetable juice on Brother Yu's clothes. Hey, Brother Yu's look scared me. It was a hot day, but I felt like it was winter."
Zhu Pengyun took big bites of the apple. It was a thank-you gift from Lord Zhou, and Sun Shan took it out to share.
Apples are expensive, but they are really delicious.
Zhu Pengyun said comfortingly: "Don't you understand what kind of person Brother Yu is?"
Then something occurred to him: "Oh, by the way, how did Brother Yu go to the dining hall to eat? Didn't he eat secretly in the dormitory?"
Qian Yingyang rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "How should I know? I'm not a worm in his stomach."
After finishing his cake, Zhou Yigao raised his hand and said, "I know, I know."
Everyone looked at him curiously.
Zhou Yigao said crisply: "His servant is sick, so he has to go get food."
Everyone exclaimed, "Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder they had to go to the cafeteria to get their meals in person."
Sun Shan frowned and asked in confusion, "Brother Gao, how did you know that?"
Sun Shan clearly lived next door, so how come he didn't know that Yu Nanwang's servant was sick?
But Zhou Yigao, who lives in the teaching building, knew about it? This doesn't make sense.
Zhou Yigao picked up another pear and ate it. Zhou Yigao, who had a round head but a not-round belly, was quite a eater and never stopped eating.
Zhou Yigao took a bite of the pear and said crisply, "My uncle Zhou helped me to hire a doctor, so I know."
Hearing this, everyone became even more curious: "Why is it the doctor invited by Zhou Bo?"
Zhou Yigao lived in the academy and brought a housekeeper, a nanny, and a book boy with him.
And Zhou Bo is Zhou Yigao's housekeeper.
Zhou Yigao continued to take a bite of the pear.
It's true, the pears sent by Lord Zhou were fresh, juicy, sweet and delicious. Zhu Yingyang said that the pears were quite expensive and could be sold for a lot of money.
Zhou Yigao continued, "Brother Nanwang is my cousin, the son of my aunt."
Sun Shan, Qian Yingyang, and Zhu Pengyun opened their eyes wide, and Zhou Yigao was scared.
Zhou Yigao shrank back and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sun Shan, Qian Yingyang, and Zhu Pengyun looked at each other and said, "Oh yeah, we can finally know Yu Nanwang's background."
Everyone is very curious about mysterious people, but they cannot find the answer, which makes them very anxious.
Qian Yingyang turned into a wolf grandmother, smiling but not smiling, and asked grimly: "Yigao boy, tell me the truth. Where is your cousin from? Why did he come to Yuelu Academy to study? And why is he so cold-tempered?"
If Zhou Yigao hadn't said it, no one would have thought that Yu Nanwang was related to Lord Zhou.
I've never seen him being so friendly with Lord Zhou.
Not even as enthusiastic as Sun Shan towards Lord Zhou.
Zhou Yigao was young, and under coercion and inducement, he revealed the information unconditionally.
Yu Nanwang was from Yuzhang Province. His mother was a daughter of the Zhou family and was a relative within the fifth degree of mourning as Lord Zhou. His father was a member of the Yu family, which was also a farming and reading family in the local area.
My father was sent to work as an official in a remote area, and my mother and my younger brother followed him to take up the post.
With a letter of recommendation, Yu Nanwang was admitted to study at Yuelu Academy.
Zhou Yigao said that his cousin was only three years old and was very naughty. He disliked him very much and didn't want to play with him. They had met in Beijing.
Sun Shan quickly grasped the key point. His cousin was three years old, and his cousin Yu Nanwang was 18 years old. The age difference was too big.
Zhu Pengyun asked casually, "Gao Di, why is your cousin only 3 years old and your cousin 18 years old? There is a big difference between them."
Zhou Yigao explained: "Yes, they are very different. My cousin is my aunt's biological son, but my cousin is not her biological son. He is registered under my aunt's name."
Hearing this, Sun Shan, Qian Yingyang and Zhu Pengyun looked at each other again.
The three of them are not fools, so they can naturally see the secret.
The most experienced person here is Qian Yingyang.
His family sells Duan inkstones, and they are rich. Once they have money, they will naturally have many beautiful girls in their house.
Qian Yingyang didn't even know how many concubines his father had. What he remembered most was that one of the favored concubines wanted to register her son under her mother's name. Although she didn't succeed, her mother was so angry that she cursed and cursed, and finally fell ill.
From Zhou Yigao's words, Qian Yingyang immediately realized that Yu Nanwang was not a legitimate son, but only a legitimate son in name only.
So the conclusion is that Yu Nanwang is a bastard's son. As for why he was registered under the name of his stepmother, there must be a story to tell.
Although Sun Shan had never encountered such a thing as a legitimate son or an illegitimate son, he had watched palace fighting dramas and naturally understood that there must be many twists and turns in the stories.
The simplest one is Zhu Pengyun. His grandfather and father are both county magistrates. They can be considered a family of officials, but their family is loyal to their emotions. His grandfather and father have only one wife, and he also has a childhood sweetheart fiancée. They have never experienced such things as legitimate sons and illegitimate sons.
Zhu Pengyun asked in confusion: "Your cousin has a son, why does she still want to register Brother Yu under her name?"
Zhou Yigao felt that he shouldn't talk about others behind their backs, but seeing Shan Ge's curious look, he still said, "My cousin aunt didn't have a child at first, so she registered my cousin Nanwang under her name, and later she gave birth to my little cousin."
After hearing this, Sun Shan and the other two suddenly understood.
No wonder it's named.
Zhou Yigao's aunt had been married for many years but had no son. She either wanted to adopt a child from the same clan or register her concubine's son under her name and raise him as her own.
Sun Shan thought darkly that Aunt Zhou Yi might not be willing, but she could not succumb to her husband's insistence and had no choice but to treat the concubine's son as her own.
Yu Nanwang is a very good student and has a bright future. It is very likely that Lord Yu raises his illegitimate son as his legitimate son.
Sun Shan and his friends were not involved in the grievances and naturally did not know the details.
But the only thing that is certain is that Yu Nanwang is not the wife’s son, and his relationship with the Zhou family is not very good.
Zhou Yigao would rather follow behind Sun Shan and didn't even watch Yu Nanwang play.
It can be seen that their relationship is just a chance acquaintance and they are just relatives.
After gossiping about Yu Nanwang, everyone continued to gossip about the next classmate. When classmates get together, gossiping is essential.
The teachers and classmates in the academy are naturally the objects of their gossip.
Zhou Yigao sat next to everyone, eating and drinking with them, and having a great time.
