The foreigners from various countries did not make any trouble. The longer they stayed in the capital, the more they got to know the country and the more honest they became. Especially the food prepared for today's banquet was all food from their own countries.
As the prince spoke, he also explained some of the customs of their countries. It was not just a simple understanding, but a real understanding, and from time to time he would bring up some of the situations in their countries.
What does this prove? It proves that not only are they exploring, this ancient Eastern country is also trying to understand the world, and not just understand it!
At this time, Zhou Shuren, who was originally thinking about running away, heard the voice of a foreign prince and choked on the wine in his mouth. He had to hold back from coughing. Now the hall was exceptionally quiet.
Zhou Shuren's face turned red, he felt spicy and choked, and there were tears in his eyes.
The prince was stunned, "Prince Joey, what did you just say?"
Prince Joy, "I want to learn mathematics from Master Zhou."
The prince came back to his senses, "Why?"
Joey wrote excitedly, "Mr. Zhou's son is better at math than I have been for many years. He said that he was taught by Mr. Zhou. I would like to ask for his advice. Of course, it would be even better if I could become his disciple."
Mathematics was just a starting point. What he wanted to learn more were some of Mr. Zhou's ideas. In fact, his country had learned a lot of methods from ancient Eastern countries in maritime trade, such as commodity classification, tariffs and so on.
He has been asking about Lord Zhou these days, and admires his many wonderful ideas, so he wants to learn from them.
Zhou Shuren looked at Changyi who was translating. Changyi was confused. No, he said at the beginning that his father would teach him, and after his mother taught him, he did not ask his father again. However, he did say this and avoided his father's gaze.
Zhou Shuren couldn't help it and started coughing, one cough after another. It was so painful that he burst into tears.
Joey was stunned, "Master Zhou is excited?"
Zhou Shuren's voice was hoarse, and he touched his eyes, "I choked."
You still want to become my disciple? How dare you!
The emperor looked deeply at Prince Joey, who had been very quiet. Tsk, who is he trying to fool by learning mathematics? He looked at Zhou Shuren, "I remember Shuren said that your wife has a high talent for mathematics and has learned a lot of foreign books. Didn't Shuren say yesterday that your wife has already learned advanced courses?"
Zhou Shuren stopped coughing. The emperor and the prince got so much inspiration from him that they were unwilling to have foreigners as their disciples. But now that Zhulan was mentioned, Zhou Shuren was unhappy. It was not that he did not want his wife to be in the spotlight, but he did not like mentioning his wife in this occasion, especially the emperor's last words: what did it mean that his wife had learned advanced courses? What if the foreigners were serious and wanted to compare him with his wife
Zhou Shuren knew that the emperor was familiar with their family, and he also knew that the emperor said this to suppress the foreigners' limelight, but he was unhappy when it touched upon his wife.
Zhou Shuren could feel that everyone was looking at him and knew that the emperor was waiting for his reply.
Zhou Changyi was really anxious. Why did he suddenly mention his mother when they met? He had confidence in his mother, but he was also afraid that the foreigner would want to make a comparison.
Zhou Shuren took a deep breath, "In my heart and in my eyes, my wife is the best. In the eyes of others, she is 50% good, but in my eyes, she is more than 100%. In my eyes, my wife is naturally the most talented. No one can compare to my wife."
Zhou Changyi had a strange look on his face, admiring his father's answer. His father's words were all foreshadowing, fulfilling the emperor's words and leaving a way out. But his father said these words without even blushing or breathing hard. His parents were loving enough at home, and in this palace, his father was not ambiguous either!
The emperor was choked, and his stomach, which had not eaten much, was full. Naturally, he was very confident in what he said. Yang did not hide the fact that she had studied foreign knowledge, and some of her drafts were openly displayed.
He really didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that Zhou Shuren was just bragging because he loved his wife. Later, when the manuscript was submitted, the emperor took it seriously. In his spare time, he would also read some foreign books, so he naturally learned a little, so he knew the depth.
This amount of attention was a bit too much, and I felt very complicated. It turned out that Zhou Shuren's love was indeed outstanding.
Maybe the busy Zhou Shuren didn’t even know what his wife had learned.
The emperor stared at Zhou Shuren. When this man met Yang, Yang was the most important to him. He got angry when he saw her reply.
The beards on the ministers in the hall were constantly moving. One could imagine how distorted their faces were under the beards. There were many conservative ministers. As for love, it would never be brought out of the backyard. Love would always stay in the backyard, not to mention being on their lips.
Zhou Shuren was full of the look of "My wife is the best, my wife is the most outstanding". Some people whispered, "How can this be allowed in the court."
Zhou Shuren's ears were particularly sharp at this time, and he immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from. Oh, it was an acquaintance, Academician Ding.
Zhou Shuren, "My wife and I got married in a formal ceremony. We have been through thick and thin together until today. My wife has given the most for me. Without my wife, I would not be who I am today. Why can't I say it?"
If there were no foreigners from various countries watching, he would have been cautious and would have continued to fight back.
Academician Ding wanted to refute, but he felt the emperor's sharp gaze, and the words in his mouth were stuck, and he kept his mouth shut without moving.
Zhou Shuren spoke again, which reminded the ministers of the time when he cried at the palace gate. It was also because of Yang. Wow, Zhou Shuren is really a romantic man.
Zhou Shuren didn't know that he had won the title of a romantic and the most affectionate man. Anyway, he just mixed things up and made Prince Joey dumbfounded.
The emperor said to Eunuch Liu, "Bring me paper and pen."
Eunuch Liu prepared quickly, and the emperor wrote in front of everyone's puzzled eyes, "Grow old together, and love each other deeply."
Then the emperor asked Eunuch Liu to give it to Zhou Shuren, "The deep affection between you and Yang is seen by me and the queen. This calligraphy is for you."
Speaking of this, the emperor envied Zhou Shuren. What he could not do, Zhou Shuren did. His original wife never abandoned him and still loved him as deeply as when they were newly married. Among the officials present, Zhou Shuren was the only one who did this.
Zhou Shuren was unhappy, but he calmed down after seeing the calligraphy. He took it happily and said, "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you. Long live the emperor."
Prince Joey could no longer get a word in. He could only watch the king and his ministers in front of him and returned to his seat in a daze.
The prince looked at Zhou Shuren with amusement. Lord Zhou was really magical sometimes. He became the focus as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhou Changyi's admiration for his father increased sharply, my dad is so awesome.
Rongchuan couldn't help laughing out loud. This was his father-in-law. He looked at some jealous faces, retracted his eyes, and could only watch with jealousy.
Zhou Shuren relaxed until the focus was no longer on him. This time he didn't drink any wine but drank tea instead.
Li Zhao raised his glass, "From today on, you are the person I admire."
Zhou Shuren, "I thought I had always been someone that Lord Li admired."
Li Zhao, "Well, I've always admired your thick skin."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "I can be thick-skinned, but I never have a thin skin."
Li Zhao, “… … .”
Lost!
