After Zhou Shuren finished speaking, Wang Ju thought of herself, "To be honest, we, the children raised in aristocratic families, are less motivated than those from poor families."
"That's because you know the future will be arranged."
Wang Ju ate the grapes and said, "By the way, Wu Mingsheng is very fast."
Although his opportunities are not as great as Zhou Shuren's, he has been promoted the fastest in recent years and has a lot of power in his hands. He will probably not leave the capital after returning from the grassland. Wow, I'm so envious!
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, since Wu Ming was the real boss, to be honest, he was a little surprised that Wu Ming would go to the grassland. He had heard the emperor praise Wu Ming many times, and it was obvious that the emperor did not want Wu Ming to go to the grassland.
Wu Ming still volunteered to go to the grassland. Everyone can see the political achievements of the grassland, but few people have the courage to go to the grassland. If the grassland problems can be really solved, Wu Ming will have solid political achievements in his hands, and Wu Ming will rise to the top in the future.
When Zhou Shuren returned home in the evening, he mentioned Wu Ming. Zhu Lan asked, "Will Wu Ming bring his family with him?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No, the grassland is still too dangerous, and my family will stay in the capital."
Zhu Lan, "I haven't seen Song Lan for many years."
"According to the date, Wu Ming's wife and children will be able to return to the capital in autumn."
"It doesn't take long."
The next day, Zhou Shuren took a rest and had breakfast. Then he and his wife went to the Royal Orphanage. Because they had informed them in advance, there were people waiting at the door.
The dean stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhou, Madam Hou, please come in."
Zhou Shuren looked up at the plaque, nodded, and walked into the orphanage. He clearly found that it was different from the folk orphanage. The folk orphanage paid more attention to self-reliance and the management was not strict, while the Royal Orphanage was very strict. The children sat upright, and their eyes did not have the ideas that the children in the folk orphanage had. The children here only had the brain to obey orders.
Zhulan came in and separated from Zhou Shuren. She went to see the girls. Boys and girls were separated.
The housekeeper said, "These fifty girls all have a talent for embroidery. The one here is studying pharmacology and will become a female doctor in the future."
Zhulan thought, this is the difference between the royal family and the common people, embroiderers are trained to serve the royal family, while female doctors will enter the Ministry of Medicine and obey its arrangements. With the development of the Ministry of Medicine, people are increasingly aware of the scarcity of female doctors.
Zhulan looked at the imperial physician who was teaching the female doctors. The girls were listening very seriously. She thought to herself that it was not easy to brainwash the children in the royal orphanage.
Zhou Shuren's situation was much better. When he went on stage to give a lecture, he wrote two words, "country."
The emperor and the prince walked in at this time and quietly found a seat to sit down.
The dean was stunned. Why did the emperor and the prince come
There were too many children in the room, so Zhou Shuren didn't look at the back. "You have been in class for a long time, and you all know the word 'country' and understand its meaning, but today I still want to talk about the country, what is a country, and what is a family."
Zhou Shuren actually wanted to draw a map of the entire country on it, but he couldn't. In this era, maps could not be drawn casually.
Zhou Shuren paused and smiled, "Let's start at home."
In this class, Zhou Shuren talked about a lot of things, from family to country, and from country to family. He also talked about the world, and how there are many countries in the world.
Zhou Shuren still felt regretful. He regretted that he couldn't say more. He had to consider many things he said. His every move was under the eyes of the royal family, so he had to be cautious.
The emperor sat in the back and watched the children raise their hands one by one to ask questions. Some children asked why foreigners pretended to be pirates, etc. This had never happened before. He had also attended classes, but these children never spoke a word. Their sitting posture in class never changed during the break.
The prince's eyes sparkled. If it weren't for his status, he would have raised his hand to ask a question. However, he wrote down what he wanted to ask and said to his father in a low voice, "I will ask Marquis Zhou tomorrow."
The emperor smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhou Shuren saw the emperor and the prince when get out of class was over, and thought to himself, as expected, he knew that the emperor was watching his every move.
Zhou Shuren, "I greet the emperor and the prince."
The emperor put his hands behind his back and said, "Today I discovered that Marquis Zhou is also capable of teaching and educating people. After listening to Marquis Zhou's class, I have learned a lot."
Pattern, what he saw was the pattern. Zhou Shuren's pattern this time was the world. Zhou Shuren knew foreign countries very well and it was obvious that he had done a lot of research. He also felt a little regretful in his heart that there was only one Marquis Zhou in the whole court.
Zhou Shuren, "Your Majesty, I am just expressing my feelings, I am not worthy of anything."
The emperor thought that if it was not inappropriate, he would like Zhou Shuren to give a few lessons to the princes so that they could broaden their horizons. Unfortunately, this was not possible. Once Marquis Zhou went to class, the princes would have more concerns.
Zhulan's lecture had no way of talking about the country, which was her biggest headache. She couldn't say much, and what she knew had to have a source. In the end, she could only give a serious lesson and add some meaningful little stories.
Zhulan followed the housekeeper and came over. When she saw the emperor and the prince, she hurriedly greeted them, "Your Highness, I greet the emperor and the prince."
The emperor had never heard Yang's lectures, but he had heard his father say that although this woman was a woman, she was also a person with deep thoughts. The books she had compiled were evidence of this. "Old lady, please stand up."
Zhou Shuren helped his wife up. Hearing that her voice was a little hoarse, he handed the cup to her and said, "Moisten your throat."
Zhulan felt embarrassed as there were so many people around, but she took it and drank it all without hesitation. Zhou Shuren hurriedly poured it for her himself.
The emperor's eyes moved slightly. There was no such sincere love between husband and wife in the royal family.
The Emperor was very busy and left first with the Crown Prince. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked around before leaving. They had lunch at a restaurant outside.
Zhulan went home and sent the maids away, and whispered, "My class is difficult to teach."
Zhou Shuren, "It's really hard to brainwash them. I can only help them broaden their horizons."
"You must be tired. Take a rest first."
"good."
The next day, Zhou Shuren knew that the prince would come. He asked and answered questions. If he could answer them, Zhou Shuren would answer them. If he could not answer them, Zhou Shuren would just smile and say nothing.
The Crown Prince only found out yesterday that his grandfather the Emperor had once had Marquis Zhou's fortune told by a highly respected master. Over the years, Marquis Zhou has indeed protected the country as the master had said.
Time flies, the summer heat has passed, and the weather is getting cooler day by day. This year the temperature is dropping as fast as last year.
Zhulan had already put on thick clothes. "It rained last night, and it's chilly today. It makes my legs uncomfortable."
Li said, "Yes, mother, we should buy more charcoal this year. Why does your daughter-in-law feel that this winter will be very cold?"
Zhulan was worried. She was also afraid of this. "Yes, buy more cotton."
Speaking of cotton, due to the shortage of food, fewer people are growing cotton. This year, the price of cotton is not only high but also difficult to buy.
Li, "My daughter-in-law has made a note of it."
As they were talking, Steward Ding brought in a note, "Madam, Lord Wu's family has arrived in the capital. This is the note."
Zhulan, "Arrived in the capital earlier than expected."
