Zhou Man sat on the edge of the couch and waved to her, "Mingda and I brought you some things back, but it will take a few days to get to the capital, and then you can go to my house to get them."
Changyu walked over and sat beside her, sighed and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Man stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "Don't be too sad, Wei Mansion still wants you to host it?"
Changyu nodded, "Mother-in-law and son-in-law are both sad, and now I'm in charge here."
She sighed and said, "Actually, everyone in the family has already been mentally prepared, and I won't hide it from you. Earlier, you said that your father-in-law was in poor health, and it was already at the end of his strength. At that time, the family began to prepare, but it took three years. I think it may be delayed longer, but he fell ill a year ago, and it has been more than half a year now. His health is good and bad. The preparations are all done."
"But I'm prepared, but I still can't accept it in my heart." Changyu felt that he was okay, although he was a little sad, but he could accept it, but Wei Yu and Mrs. Wei obviously couldn't.
Chang Yu held Zhou Man's hand tightly, fixed his eyes on her and asked, "Man Bao, is his illness really curable?"
Zhou Man analyzed the effect of the medicine on Wei Zhi's pulse and shook his head, "We doctors have diseases that can be cured, but there are also diseases that cannot be cured. Mr. Wei belongs to the one that cannot be cured now, let alone us. , even the gods, I'm afraid they won't be able to save them."
She said: "Three years ago, if Mr. Wei would listen to me, put aside his official business, and be able to relax and take care of his body, it might have been delayed for five, six, seven or eight years. , The loss is huge, even if I have the art of returning to heaven, I can't save it."
Changyu was silent for a while, "I will trouble you in the next few days. You must be tired after you just returned to Beijing. Let's rest now. By the way, do you want to send someone back to your house to fetch some things? I'm afraid you don't need it." If you are used to the things here, or if there is something missing, tell me, and I will ask someone to open a warehouse for you to add."
Zhou Man was amazed, "God Chang Yu, you are so thoughtful."
Changyu: "...I'm already a mother."
"Then help me call Xibing, she knows what to bring."
Changyu responded and sent someone to Zhou's house to order Xibing.
Master Wei cannot leave people here, and Zhou Man has to take time to go to the palace to answer, so he basically can't go home, so although Zhou Man has returned home, Zhou's family has not seen Zhou Man yet.
On the fourth day of Wei Zhixing's practice, the other two sons of the Wei family arrived with their wives and children. At the same time, Zhou Lizhong also entered Beijing.
As soon as he entered Beijing, he was taken to the palace, and he couldn't even return home.
He stood nervously in front of the Tai Chi Hall, stroked his sleeve vigorously, trying to smooth out the wrinkles. It's just that he's been on the road for the past few days, it's dusty, and he's been wearing this clothes for three days.
Zhou Lizhong felt a little regretful. After entering Beijing, he should have asked to go home to wash and change clothes. He remembered that when my sister-in-law came back from a business trip, as long as it was not a particularly urgent errand, she would wash first before entering the palace...
When Zhou Lizhong was lowering his head in remorse, he suddenly heard a servant remind him in a low voice: "Master Zhou is here."
Zhou Lizhong immediately turned his head to look down, and saw in the distance, my sister-in-law was climbing up the stairs with her official robe in her hand. The sun shone on her, making her whole body glow, even the sun was shattered into pieces.
Zhou Man walked up the steps, looked up and saw Zhou Lizhong waiting at the door, smiled, stepped forward and asked, "When did you enter Beijing?"
Zhou Lizhong felt relieved, and exhaled, "An hour ago? I was brought into the palace as soon as I entered Beijing."
Zhou Lizhong had never been in the palace, so he was very nervous from the beginning to the end, so that he couldn't notice the passage of time.
Zhou Man nodded, and said to the servant: "Please also report to Your Majesty that we are here."
The servant went in to report quickly, after a while Gu Zhong came out in person, bowed and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, Your Majesty invites you two to go in."
Zhou Man took Zhou Lizhong to follow, and asked Gu Zhong in a low voice, "Are there many people in the room?"
Gu Zhong also lowered his voice, "Your lords are all here."
Zhou Man knew it in his mind, turned around and said again to Zhou Li: "Your Majesty will answer whatever you ask in a while, listen more and speak less."
Zhou Lizhong: "Yes."
The emperor is holding a small court meeting, so the important ministers in the court are all present, and the discussion has just come to an end.
Zhou Man led Zhou Lizhong to meet the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Stay flat."
"You are Zhou Lizhong? Raise your head and let me take a look."
He looked at Zhou Lizhong carefully. Although he was a bit dark, he was very energetic. His face was sharp and angular, but he was still handsome.
He looked at Zhou Lizhong, then turned his head to look at Zhou Man who couldn't help being curious and raised his head to look at him, and couldn't help laughing, "Your sisters and nephews still have similarities in their eyebrows, I heard people say, Did any of your ancestors have very good-looking people?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "My great-grandmother and grandmother?"
The emperor waved his hand and didn't really care about it, but he still liked good-looking people, so he urged Zhou Lizhong, "With your appearance, you can study and take exams. As long as you can pass the Mingjing exam, you will have a bright future in the future."
Old Master Tang couldn't help coughing heavily when he saw the emperor's face so upright.
Zhou Man saw Zhou Lizhong's embarrassed face, his face turned red and he didn't know what to say, so he said on his behalf: "Your Majesty, he has no intention of taking the imperial examination, so don't make things difficult for him."
"Study is good, but other industries are not bad. Three hundred and sixty lines, the best in every line of work, good farming, can you also contribute to the country and the people?"
The emperor lowered his eyes and thought, "Three hundred and sixty lines can lead to the number one scholar? This is something new."
Don't you have that
In which script did she read that
Zhou Man swallowed, and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty summoned us for the new rice plant?"
"Yes," the emperor returned to his senses, nodded and said, "This matter is very important. I heard from Zhuang Shaofu that the Zhou family has recorded experimental data?"
Zhou Lizhong nodded again and again, took out two booklets from his sleeves, took out two more from his back waist, and took out two more from his boots...
Zhou Man: ...
Emperor and ministers: ...
Zhou Lizhong raised the six books he took out above his head and offered them.
Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to take it and presented it to the emperor.
Zhou Man couldn't hold back, and asked Zhou Lizhong in a low voice, "Why are you stuffed in your boots?"
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
Zhou Lizhong whispered: "They said that foreign objects cannot be brought into the palace, so I have to carry them with me."
Everyone: ... Is it not a foreign object if you put it on your body
The emperor twitched his forehead and started to flip through the booklets. After a while, he asked, "Which one is the latest?"
Zhou Lizhong hurriedly replied, "The one marked with the number eight."
The emperor pulled it out and asked, "There are only six books here, why is the number eight marked?"
"Because there are still two books that I haven't brought."
Is it because you can't figure it out? The emperor slandered, but did not ask.
