Chang Lian was also a little numb. Too many people wanted to give him women. When he went out to the teahouse, women would fall at his feet. He even boldly confessed that he did not seek status and could just be a girl without status or status!
Now there is no need for him to never go out. The advantage of living in the back house of the government office is that he can go home directly after getting off the government office, avoiding various accidents on the way home.
Mrs. Dong took her husband's careful tea, and after drinking the tea, most of her anger subsided, "In the final analysis, it is your status that caused it, and my status is too low."
This is the disadvantage. There is a huge gap between the Zhou family and the Dong family. My husband is the son of the Hou family, and he is already a fourth-grade prefect in his thirties. However, the Dong family is white, and she is not respected by others. Some people even think that she can do it with her status. As a real wife, she considers her status to be good and does not take her seriously.
Chang Lian hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "You and I have supported you all the way. I have no evil intentions."
It's not just the rules set by dad, he really thinks my wife is very good.
Mrs. Dong said quietly: "Our family is not allowed to take concubines, but we can divorce and remarry!"
This is what some people have in mind. They cannot take concubines, and there is a way to reconcile and remarry. As long as the husband-in-law changes his mind, everything will be settled.
Chang Lian was stunned when he heard this, "Is this still possible?"
Mr. Dong's eyes were deep, "Be cruel to me. You can also remarry after losing your wife. This will preserve your reputation better."
Of course, it needs to be done cleanly and no evidence can be discovered.
Chang Lian, "..."
He felt that he was still naive and all he could think about was not taking concubines!
Seeing her husband's silly look, Mrs. Dong burst into laughter and said, "Come back to your senses."
Chang Lian held his wife's hand and said, "I swear I only have you as my wife. If something happens to you, I won't marry you again. Bah, bah, anyway, I only share the same hole with you."
The last trace of depression in Dong's heart disappeared, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore."
Chang Lian wanted to vent his anger on his wife, but he didn't care about her. He wanted everyone to know how much he cared about her, so he still had to learn from his father!
Time passed quickly, and it was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, getting closer and closer to the new year. Zhenyue had returned to the palace. With Zhenyue returning to the palace, the Ran family calmed down, and the Zhouhou Mansion also became quiet.
The twelfth lunar month of winter, this year's twelfth lunar month is colder than last year, and the morning dynasty has stopped.
Zhou Shuren didn't need to get up early and lay down in the warm quilt, "I want to thank Mr. Wen and others and send some supplements later."
Zhulan, "After receiving your supplements, Master Wen's illness worsened."
Zhou Shuren laughed and said, "Their bodies are still weak, but look at me, nothing will happen to them."
"If you can't sleep, get up."
Zhou Shuren shrank and said, "I can't afford it. Anyway, I don't have to go to the household department on time. I want to lie down."
Zhulan glanced at the clock and said, "Okay, since you are the biggest, Tobe, you can lie down while I get up and wash up."
She saw people outside the house. Qingxue came several times and the hot water was changed several times. She couldn't be lazy anymore.
Zhou Shuren gave up his seat, and when his wife got up, he occupied the entire kang, and the warm quilt was comfortable.
Zhulan changed her clothes, washed herself, and waited for Qingxue to comb her hair. When she turned around, Shuren fell asleep again.
Changyi and Changzhi still went to the Yamen on time, but they had no credit for their father's work. No one said anything about his father's laziness when the household department was free. Even the censor was as blind as they were, so they couldn't do it.
After another half an hour, Zhou Shuren got up, ate a simple breakfast, and sat without preparing to leave.
Zhulan, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "There's really nothing important about Hubu."
The only major issue now is salary, and there are rules for salary and salary, so there is no need to worry about it, so the Ministry of Household Affairs was really free this year.
Zhulan added: "My sons have been going to the Yamen for half an hour."
"Can they compete with me? Huh, huh."
Zhulan laughed, "Okay, okay, you are the best."
Zhou Shuren glanced at the clock and stood up lazily, "I really should go."
Zhulan also stood up, took the heater, and helped tie on her cloak, "Don't get too cold."
"I know, I'll be back soon."
Bamboo orchid, "... .."
The person who goes in late and leaves early is Zhou Shuren.
When Zhou Shuren arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, the concierge of the Ministry of Revenue had already been waiting for him, "Sir, the Prince has been here for a quarter of an hour and is waiting for you!"
Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky. It was such a cold day that the prince came out of the palace. He walked a little faster and entered the room. The prince was drinking tea.
Zhou Shuren took off his cloak and said, "What does the prince want to do with the minister?"
Prince, "I have free time to come here today to ask for a cup of tea."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He was a little disgusted with asking for a cup of tea. Anyone who came to ask for a cup of tea would do nothing good.
The prince has already made tea, "Master Marquis, please."
Zhou Shuren blinked his small eyes. The prince was obviously worried, "This tea is a tribute tea given to the minister."
The prince nodded, took a sip and said, "My second brother will enter the court next year. Which of the six films did the Marquis guess?"
Zhou Shuren also took a sip of tea and said, "Ministry of Rites."
Looking at the second prince's movements, it's actually not difficult to guess.
The prince raised his teacup and said, "Master Marquis guessed it right."
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart. The prince lamented that his brothers had grown up. He didn't intend to say too much. Too much words would lead to mistakes. He just drank tea with them honestly.
The prince chuckled and didn't care. He drank tea alone and listened to the sound of charcoal fire. He thought this was good. He never expected that he would find peace with Zhou Hou.
The prince's thoughts were a little far away. The capital was very big and there was no place he couldn't go, so it was difficult to find peace.
Zhou Shuren was leaning on the chair. The room was so quiet that he wanted to sleep. When he heard the sound of the chair moving, he saw that the prince had stood up and was putting on his cloak.
Zhou Shuren hurriedly stood up and said, "I will see the prince off."
The prince waved his hand, "No, Lord Marquis, stay here."
After saying that the prince left neatly, Zhou Shuren stood by the window. The prince's steps were firm and there was a smile on his lips. The emperor did educate the prince.
In the palace, the emperor knew the prince's whereabouts very well. It was no surprise that the prince would go to Zhou Shuren. His son trusted Zhou Shuren like him. He was surprised that Zhou Shuren didn't say anything and he almost fell asleep.
The Supreme Emperor smiled, "So Zhou Shuren is the really smart man."
The emperor sighed, "It's a pity that he is not young anymore. I don't know if he can wait until the prince succeeds to the throne."
The Supreme Emperor raised his head from the chessboard. His son was still young and lowered his head. "I feel that life after abdication is quite good. It is also a blessing to take a good look at the country I govern while I still have the energy."
The emperor held the chess piece in his hand and said, "It's still early."
The Emperor's beard curled up. This was the answer his son gave him. It was indeed still early. At least his son had no objection to abdicating the throne.
In the tea house, Mingrui looked at Zhuo Guyu downstairs and said, "Uncle, you pay too much attention to him."
Chang Zhong, "He even came out on such a cold day. He is very determined."
"My little uncle is also determined."
Chang Zhong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal for me anyway, I'm just watching the excitement."
Mingrui stood up and said, "I won't accompany you anymore. I'm going to get the screen."
Changzhong waved, Mingrui was so kind to his wife, even in the cold weather, he would take the screen himself.
Chang Zhong sat there for a while and felt bored. He was about to go back home. He went downstairs and saw Gu Sheng, "What a coincidence."
Gu Sheng also thought it was a coincidence, "My eldest brother has just arrived in the capital, so I brought him here for dinner."
Chang Zhong looked at Gu Sheng's eldest brother. The two brothers looked exactly alike. Gu Sheng's eldest brother was less bookish and good-looking.
