Zhou Shuren straightened his posture, "The eldest grandson of the venerable Mr. Wen possesses outstanding abilities, determination, and diligence. In my view, the eldest grandson of Mr. Wen is highly suitable. As for the fourth son of the Wen family, given that he is the Top scorer, his capabilities speak for themselves."
The other ministers in the hall felt that Zhou Shuren's words were sarcastic. While the fourth son of the Wen family indeed needed no elaboration, the eldest grandson of Mr. Wen was exceedingly mediocre, currently occupying a leisurely and insignificant post.
The only notable trait was his family background. As for determination and resilience—how laughable.
The Emperor felt conflicted, while Mr. Wen's face turned red with anger. In a sullen voice, he said, "The whole capital knows Marquis Zhou is adept at educating children; why not recommend your own grandson?"
