For a moment, the gate of the Ministry of Revenue was quiet, and everyone was looking at Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren took a step back, flicked his sleeves and walked away without saying a word.
Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, Lord Zhou didn't continue to ask questions.
Gu Ren also hurriedly put away his purse, sweating all over. He thought that his day was over!
Shi Qing lowered his voice. He felt that he had some understanding of Lord Zhou. "Don't be so reckless in the future. Fortunately, Lord Zhou didn't care."
Gu Ren breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can we still register today?"
He was still very nervous and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Shi Qing whispered, "It's okay, the adults are very busy and won't dwell on trivial matters."
Gu Ren's uneasiness disappeared. Yes, Zhou Shuren was very busy. He lowered his head and restrained the emotions in his eyes. He heard that there would be a lot of road construction this year. He whispered, "I heard that the Ministry of Industry is researching an item for road construction?"
Shi Qing didn't know, and her heart tightened, "I don't know, how do you know?"
There are still people who haven’t been cleaned out!
Gu Ren regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face. It turned out that it was still a secret. "Maybe I heard it wrong. You know, many of our merchants disappear."
Shi Qing looked at Gu Ren deeply and smiled, "It's better to be careful with some words."
When Gu Ren heard this, he knew it was for his own good, and he felt relieved. The last bit of bad premonition disappeared.
Zhou Shuren never paid attention to it after he went back, as he didn't want to get into trouble. He was very busy. He pressed his brows and looked at the memorial approved by the Emperor to the Ministry of Works. He pursed his lips and said, "Building roads is a good thing, but the investment is also huge. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times there are still many places without roads!"
Zhou Shuren felt distressed when reading the memorial. It was also his fault. Last year, there were continuous heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the newly built dam was ruined again. It was like a vicious cycle. So when chatting with Lord Fang, he said that it would be great if there was a waterproof dam, so that there would be no need to allocate funds every year to build dams.
I talked a lot, and then I forgot about it and continued to be busy.
Lord Fang kept it in mind and also found some clues in ancient books. Unexpectedly, they had researched it out not long after the Chinese New Year this year. Cement, although some proportions were not well controlled, he thought it was good when he saw it.
Zhou Shuren sighed, the national treasury was still weak.
In the palace, at night, the emperor had already obtained Gu Ren's registration information, and Shi Qing handed over everything he found to the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were cold, "No wonder we can't find it. There are so many merchants in the country. Keep investigating. I want to know their lair."
Shi Qing accepted the order and said, "Yes."
The emperor looked at Shi Qing with a complicated expression. He had carefully looked at the portrait of Shi Qing's child. He didn't know if he had any guesses in his mind, so he felt that the child looked a bit like his uncle. "You get up."
Shi Qing stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor asked casually, "Have you recovered from your illness?"
Shi Qing looked up in surprise. He didn't think the emperor knew he was poisoned, but was surprised that he heard the concern? Then he quickly woke up. The emperor should have just asked casually, "It will take a long time to recuperate. It will still be difficult to have an heir, but I don't care."
He thought to himself that he was a knife. Now that he had a son, he had let it go. As long as his son was doing well, that was all that mattered.
Your Majesty, "..."
He cares. If he had known earlier, this would have been fate.
The next day, in the afternoon, Su Xuan came back from outside and brought back some flowers for her mother-in-law. "My daughter-in-law thinks they are good. Let me add some color to your place."
Zhulan instructed the maid, "Put it in a suitable place."
Su Xuan saw her mother-in-law cutting paper flowers, "Mom's craftsmanship is getting better and better. This looks real from a distance."
Zhulan curled her eyes and said, "These are the only hobbies I have."
I have recently become obsessed with origami, paper flowers, and silk flowers.
Su Xuan had no intention of leaving. Her husband entered the Imperial Academy as an editor, and she was still the county lady's imperial edict. Her husband had a smooth journey in the imperial examinations and had a promising future. She was also living a happy life. She loved to smile and looked very happy. "I saw Shen Yile in the jewelry store today. She had several layers of powder on her face."
It can be seen that she is not living a happy life, as there are dark circles under her eyes, making her look much older. Unlike her, she seems to be getting younger and younger, with a rosy face.
Zhu Lan raised her head and said, "It should be that Prince Yao is having trouble in the Ministry of War."
Zhou Shuren and Lord Li have a good relationship and sometimes you can hear a few words about them during their casual chats, but they rarely pay too much attention to Yao Hou Mansion.
Su Xuan really didn’t know, but after thinking about it, “It should be.”
Zhulan smiled and said, "Why are you hiding here when you come back? Why don't you go back to see Mingjia and Yuwen?"
Su Xuan got a headache when she thought of her son. "You said Changzhi and I are both nagging people, but why can't this child stop talking? He keeps talking as soon as he opens his eyes in the morning and as long as he rests at night."
Moreover, at my age now, I particularly like to ask why. I want to ask why for everything. I am a person who likes to get to the bottom of things and I am very difficult to deal with.
Su Xuan looked at Ming Jing who was sleeping soundly on the small kang, her eyes full of envy, "The eldest wife's children are still obedient."
Zhulan smiled and said, "It's all good, it's all good. It's good for children to have their own personalities. Our family is not a family that follows rigid rules."
Su Xuan reached out and touched Ming Jing's chubby little feet, her eyes full of smiles, "This child looks so much like my sister-in-law, I wonder where my sister-in-law has gone?"
Because the vacation was short, they simply packed up and left. Zhulan said, "I don't know either."
In the restaurant, Yao Zheyu sat facing the street and drank wine, feeling frustrated. He no longer had the high spirits of his earlier years, and the frown on his brows had never loosened. When his request was not allowed this time, he saw the future.
Yao Zheyu was pouring wine. Everyone in the military department was busy, but he was marginalized. He looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street, and the patrolling soldiers guarding the capital. He drank another glass of wine, and suddenly his eyes stopped. He squinted and called the servant, "Follow the carriage, be careful."
The servant came back quickly and said, "I lost him."
Yao Zheyu looked deeply at the servant beside him and waved his hand, "Get out."
Yao Zheyu also drank the wine and sneered. So that's how it is. He was saying how come they didn't catch the person and that a servant who had been there for many years couldn't be trusted.
The Ministry of Revenue, Chang Yi stood at the door of the Ministry of Revenue. He was there to collect the second sum of silver. He cursed the officials from the Ministry of Rites in his heart, but he still walked in because he still wanted the silver.
When Zhou Shuren saw his son, he pointed to the approved document and said, "Take it and go get the silver."
Chang Yi looked at the memorials on his father's desk and felt a shudder in his heart. There were so many of them the last time he came. "Dad, you should also combine work with rest."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Well, I'm busy here, you can go back too."
Half an hour later, Zhou Shuren saw the eunuch in the palace leading Ning Zhiqi in, "What is this?"
