Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and replied, "Soon."
Now Yao Wenqi is not only trapped by the emperor, but the Zhang family has not let him go either. Yao Wenqi still has a lot of things in his hands, and the emperor has been dragging him out and has not been able to lure him out. The Zhang family knew that Yao Wenqi had killed clansmen, but they still endured it because they were the pawns controlled by Yao Wenqi.
Yao Wenqi knew that the emperor would not let him go and that the Zhang family would also turn against him, so what Yao Wenqi wanted most was to escape.
Zhou Shuren knew all this because the emperor revealed it to him, because his mother was from the Rong family and the emperor really trusted him.
Yu Yun has waited for so many years, so he doesn't mind waiting for a while. He just wants to ask about the progress. "Okay, I'll go back then."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "Fourth uncle should also go to bed early."
Yu Yin stood up and paused, "By the way, I plan to take Chang Li with me for a while. He will receive the title in the future. You take care of it and I will teach him."
Zhou Shuren, "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Uncle."
“It’s not hard.”
He also found something to do for himself. During the day, Mingteng had his teacher to teach him, so he had nothing to do.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The Ministry of Rites has been surprisingly efficient these days and has already begun to prepare for attracting investment. This piece of cake is so delicious that everyone wants to have a piece of it.
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was surprised that Chang Yi would come to see him, and Qiu Yan tactfully walked out.
Zhou Shuren asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
His son would not come to the Ministry of Revenue to find him if he was fine. He frowned and asked, "The Ministry of Rites needs money again?"
Chang Yi came with a nervous heart, "Dad, the Ministry of Rites is going to start recruiting investors."
"Ah, I know, what's wrong?"
Chang Yi said, "We have been fighting over who should be in charge these days, and we have just decided on the candidate today. I, your son, was chosen to be Lord Sun's assistant."
This was simply pie in the sky. He was really stunned. He didn't participate in it at all and didn't have any thoughts on it. He just stayed in the embassy honestly.
Zhou Shuren, "Did the Minister of Rites decide this?"
Chang Yi nodded, "Yes."
"Oh, if that's the case, go ahead."
Chang Yi, "Are you really okay?"
Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "This idea was proposed by your father. At that time, the Ministry of Rites asked for 300,000 taels, but I didn't give it, so I came up with the idea."
Chang Yi, “… . . . .”
So that's how he got the job.
Zhou Shuren continued, "Just do your job, don't worry about anything else, and don't say anything. This is your political achievement. With this achievement, you should be able to get promoted next year."
Chang Yi was excited by the last words, a promotion, "Dad, I will be careful and do my job well."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Well, that's enough, let's go back quickly, Lord Sun must be very busy at this time."
Chang Yi stood up hurriedly. He was very nervous when he came here, but now he was full of confidence and his voice was much louder. "Yes, son, I will go back soon. Dad, you go ahead and do your work."
Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi came back, Gu Zhuomin was waiting, looking at Chang Yi's expression, "Congratulations."
Chang Yi smiled, "I'm lucky too."
Gu Zhuomin didn't believe it. He was sure that Zhou Changyi was able to get this enviable job because of Lord Zhou. The expressions of Zhou Changyi when he left and when he came back were very different.
Gu Zhuomin sighed. He didn’t care about the benefits he got from being in charge. What he cared about was his political achievements. The first time to attract investment had a different meaning.
Wang Ju came over and said, "Changyi, come here. I want to talk to you."
He did not participate this time because he knew he was about to leave the Ministry of Rites, so he still wanted to give more instructions to Chang Yi. This mission was very complicated!
In the capital, Zhulan went to a foreign shop with her little girl. She wanted to buy some things that could be used for study, which could only be bought in foreign shops.
Xue Han was not very interested in foreign things, so she accompanied her mother after taking a look. When she saw her mother choosing things, she also asked the shopkeeper if he had long glass tubes, etc.
Xue Han had a wooden face. Ever since her mother got the foreign book, she has been more obsessed with it than her second brother. She is always muttering to herself and holds the book in her hands every day. She has not chatted with her and her sisters-in-law these days and has been studying on her own every day.
Xue Han was a little confused facing her mother who was obsessed with studying. Well, her mother continued to write strokes, and the shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said, "We don't have any of the things you want. Do you want to take a look at the new perfumes? They are very popular."
Zhulan was disappointed, but then she thought that it made sense, the shops only sold popular items, "No, thank you."
She was not interested in perfume. Given the current living environment in Europe, just thinking about it made her feel like not wanting to eat. Perfume is used to cover up the smell. Thinking of this, Zhulan could not help but take a step back and stay away from the perfume.
The shopkeeper asked, "?"
Xue Han also put down the perfume in her hand. Her mother didn't like it, and she didn't like it either.
Zhulan settled the money and complained, "It's really expensive."
Xue Han: "Yes."
Zhulan wanted Zhou Shuren to get the equipment. She had not been so dedicated in her previous life. She never expected that she would need to study hard and struggle in ancient times.
Zhu Lan had a wooden face. When he first came, it was Zhou Shuren who studied very hard, and now it was her turn. It was really fair!
The mother and daughter took a carriage back home. On the way back, they met a caravan. The caravan's trucks were quite long. Such caravans were not uncommon in the capital.
The capital is the center of power. Even though the south is more prosperous, its consumption is no worse than that of the south. Places where powerful and wealthy families gather are all big consumers.
At the Mansion of Marquis Yao, Yao Wenqi turned a deaf ear to the visitor's advice and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.
Gu San was not in a hurry. He took out the letter written by his master and put it down. "This is the letter from the master."
Yao Wenqi heard the door close before he picked up the letter on the table and read it. He sneered, "Promised him a princely title, but they really thought he was easy to fool. What fools."
Yao Wenqi clenched the letter tightly. He was supposed to be the one in charge, but things didn't go well one after another. With the Zhang family acting on their own, he was trapped in a desperate situation. Thinking of the place where the Zhang family was hiding, Yao Wenqi's face turned grim. He sent people over only to find out that the place was fake.
Yao Wenqi secretly hated the emperor for not cutting off his connection and allowing his remaining power to be swallowed up by the Zhang family. Suddenly he laughed again. The emperor raised the Zhang family, and he was waiting for their fate.
However, when Yao Wenqi loosened his hand and the emperor cut off his contact with the outside world, he knew that his every move was in the eyes of the emperor. He had lost, but not completely. He squinted his eyes, and the more chaotic the situation was, the more chances he would have to escape.
On the street, Zhulan was sitting by the carriage window and saw at a glance a box that had fallen from the truck in front of her. The box hit the newly paved road and cracked for a moment.
Then, Zhulan saw some fish falling out of the box. She also saw something wrapped in oil paper and said to the driver, "Stop the car."
Zhulan was just about to get off the carriage when the driver of the truck in front hurriedly stopped the carriage and stuffed all the things back into the box.
