Zhulan didn't wait for Qingxue to respond and signaled Qingxue to go down, and she continued to do her own thing.
On the other side, the carriage of the Marquis Mansion arrived at the entrance of the alley of Gu Sheng's courtyard. As soon as Chang Zhong entered the house, he smelled the strong smell of soup and medicine. Gu Sheng lay on the kang and coughed from time to time. When he got closer, he saw that Gu Sheng had lost a lot of weight. , where is the appearance of Young Master Ruyu
Gu Yan took a tea cup and gave his brother water. When his brother opened his eyes, his eyes were full of joy, "Wake up."
Gu Sheng was very weak, "Brother."
Gu Yan stepped aside and said, "Brother, I have no ability, so I have no choice but to beg Mr. Zhou."
He knew that his younger brother did not want to trouble Mr. Hou Fu more. It was difficult to repay favors to a noble man like Mr. Hou Fu, but he really had no choice.
Gu Sheng stood up and said weakly: "I'm troublesome again, Young Master."
Chang Zhong signaled Gu Sheng to cover himself with a quilt, and then asked the boy to put away the smell of soup and medicine in the room. The smell in the room was not good, "The doctor will be here in a minute. You should cover yourself with the quilt so that you don't get cold."
Gu Sheng moved his lips, and finally turned into a sigh. He was shielded from the wind by his brother. After waiting for a while to let out the smell, the air in the room became much better, and his chest felt much better.
The doctor came very quickly. The doctor from Zhouhou Mansion discovered the problem as soon as he got started. "The prescription is still not enough. I will prescribe a new prescription and the patient will be cured in five days."
It's not a serious illness at all. It's only because the days have dragged on that I'm so weak.
Chang Zhong sat aside and waited for the doctor to write the prescription. After listening to the doctor's words, he didn't want Gu Sheng's life, but wanted to drag Gu Sheng to prevent him from missing the spring.
Gu Yan took the prescription and took out the money and gave it to the doctor. The doctor glanced at his young master. The young master didn't say anything, so he took the money with a smile and said, "Come back with me to grab the medicine."
Gu Yan took some more money and followed the doctor out. It was convenient to use the Marquis's carriage to get back and forth.
Chang Zhong whispered a few words to the boy, waited for the boy to leave, and tapped the table with his fingertips, "Do you know what's going on?"
Gu Sheng thought he was careful enough, so he still said, "I know what's going on."
He tried his best to be careful, but he still couldn't take precautions. He was splashed with water while walking on the street but didn't stop the carriage. Even though his elder brother gave him the cloak, he still got sick.
Chang Zhong helps but won't interfere. This is Gu Sheng's business. "I just don't want you to participate in the Spring Festival today. If you block the way tomorrow, your life will be lost. Do you know that?"
It is difficult to have a son from a poor family, so what if you get the Jinshi? Very few succeed in the three-year imperial examination, more are forgotten, and there are many who lose their lives due to suppression.
Gu Sheng's hands under the quilt slowly clenched into fists and lowered his head, "If I don't get in, our brothers will have no future."
There is still hope when moving forward, but when retreating he only sees the abyss, true villains and hypocrites. Once these people gain power, he will face death.
Chang Zhong touched his chin, "The more transparent you are, the more fearful you will be."
Gu Sheng pursed his lips and said, "I will take good care of myself. I have been so kind to you today, and I will repay you in the future when I have the ability."
Chang Zhong narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to find out?"
Gu Sheng shook his head, "I don't want to."
Chang Zhong's smile deepened, "In return for you, Liu Chen will watch over your recovery, and you will be on your own for the rest of the day."
He was not doing it for Gu Sheng's return, but because of his niece. His niece had inquired about Gu Sheng's family background a few days ago. He also knew that his fourth sister-in-law had sent people to Gu Sheng's hometown. However, he would not always protect him. After Gu Sheng recovered, He also said that he would definitely talk to his niece when he got back.
In the evening, Zhulan talked about Gu Sheng's condition, "It's artificial, Gu Sheng doesn't want to find out."
Zhou Shuren washed his feet and dried them, "He's still a little smart."
"Somewhat clever?"
Zhou Shuren, "It took me a few days to ask for help, stupid."
"Still very shallow-minded and knowledgeable."
Zhou Shuren hummed in agreement, "What did Chang Zhong say when he came back?"
Zhulan said that her son would leave Liu Chen behind, "just to protect Gu Sheng's recovery."
There was a smile in Zhou Shuren's eyes, "If Gu Sheng makes trouble again, this girl Yuwen will not look at Gu Sheng again even if she takes a fancy to Gu Sheng's face."
Zhulan was silent, it was indeed her granddaughter's temperament, "There are only a few days left until spring."
Zhou Shuren, "Yes."
Zhulan raised her hand to massage Shuren's head, "You've been frowning recently. Is there something bothering you?"
Zhou Shuren, "It's not a worry. It's spring again, and I'm worried about this year's grain production."
"The fine seeds cultivated by the Supreme Emperor are still not stable?"
Zhou Shuren, "How can it be so easy to cultivate high-quality seeds, and the selection is stable from generation to generation? It's only a few years ago."
Zhulan smoothed Shuren's frown and said, "Don't think about it, you've done a good enough job."
If Shuren hadn't managed the Household Department, more people would have died every year, not to mention that he had brought back a lot of rare materials for the country. In terms of merit over the years, Shuren has already made great achievements.
In the morning of the next day, Mr. Wen had a happy face. The Wen family and his grandson had returned to the capital, and now they had errands. Although they were from the sixth grade, they were not bad.
Mr. Wen sighed in his heart that farming also gave rise to an official career, "I have to thank the Marquis of Zhou."
Zhou Shuren had a toothache, and it was easy for the emperor to appoint him an official. The emperor obviously wanted to take advantage of Wen's eldest and grandsons, but how could Wen's eldest and grandsons farm? Stop making trouble, the credit for the land reclamation was all planned by the Wen family. The Wen family is shrinking now. The emperor has brought out the Wen family and grandchildren, and the Wen family can only help behind the scenes.
Lord Wen, "Why does Zhou Hou look so ugly?"
Zhou Shuren is a smiler, and the one who flirts first is mean, "I like gold and silver, so since I want to thank you for gold and silver, that's fine. I don't like verbal thanks. I don't think you'll thank me in vain if you want to lose face, right?"
Mr. Wen, "??"
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Then it's settled. I'm waiting for the boss's thanks. As for the amount of thanks, it depends on how much Wen's family and grandchildren are worth."
Mr. Wen is blowing his beard, when did he agree
Zhou Shuren doesn't care about the old man blowing his beard and staring, he just likes to pour cold water on others. The old man must be awake now.
Mr. Wen did wake up, and it was too late to regret. The smile on his face disappeared, and he strode away while grinding his teeth.
At noon at the household department, the Wen family brought in boxes and boxes of silver, neatly stacked, and the Wen family housekeeper said, "Master Marquis, this is a thank you gift from my family, five thousand taels of silver."
Zhou Shuren's beard twitched, "Is Mr. Cheng'en out of money?"
Butler, "..."
I have money, but I don’t want to give it to you for free!
Without raising his eyes, Zhou Shuren said to Qiu Yan beside him: "Go into the warehouse. The states are short of grain for spring plowing. I donated money to buy grain."
Butler, "..."
Why did you bring it to the Ministry of Revenue? The master wanted to show how much Zhou Hou loves money, but Zhou Hou donated it directly!
Zhou Shuren sneered in his heart, he loved money, so there was no point in sharing the money. He calculated a sum of money from the Wen family, and if he didn't do it again, it would be bad for his reputation. He didn't want to accept the money in the first place.
Qiu Yan stared at the white money. Five thousand taels was not a small number. For example, his family's annual expenses were less than five thousand taels. People were really incomparable. I was envious!
