In the blink of an eye, Mingrui's eldest daughter's third bath was over. The little girl looked the same every day. The baby who was well raised in her mother's womb became fairer and fairer day by day after she was born. Zhulan liked to come around when she had nothing to do.
Zhulan came out of the second room to go to the garden, and saw her youngest son and his servant about to go out, "Where are you going?"
Chang Zhong took out the post and said, "Gu Sheng moved to a new house and gave this post to his son. We are going to have a drink today."
Zhulan, "Moved?"
"Well, Gu Sheng moved to a place where low-ranking officials gather. It is said that he spent five hundred taels to buy it."
"He's pretty good at saving money."
Five hundred taels is not a small amount, and I don't know how many paintings Gu Sheng has sold.
Chang Zhong knew better, "He became a prodigy and people asked for his paintings. He sold a lot of paintings in the days after he won the gold medal."
Zhulan thought for a while, "Go ahead, don't drink too much."
Changzhong, "I understand."
Zhulan didn't have the intention to continue shopping. As she walked back, she said, "I don't know where Yuyi is?"
Qingxue replied, "Miss Yuyi and her party should go south along the canal."
On the canal, Yuyi and his party lived on the top floor of the passenger ship. The top floor was the best room. Fortunately, Yuyi and the others did not get seasick.
It started to rain lightly today. Yujiao stood on the deck holding an umbrella and looked at the scenery. Yuyi waited for a while and her sister didn't come back, so she had to get up and go out in person.
Yuyi opened the door and was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her. The little girl shouted, "Miss."
Only then did Yu Yi come back to her senses and walked towards Yu Jiao, "Brother, are you fishing?"
Minghui said, "Well, being idle is also idle."
Yu Yueyang didn't know when he took the umbrella from the girl's hand, and stood next to his fiancée holding the umbrella, "Yu Yi, do you want to go fishing?"
Yu Yi didn't want to, she wanted to see the scenery more, raised her head and said, "Your shoulders are wet."
Yu Yueyang rarely comes into contact with his fiancée. Ever since he left Beijing, his uncle has been guarding him like a thief. "It's okay. Let's go see the other side?"
Yu Yi almost laughed when she saw her fiancé talking in a low voice and glancing at her brother. She nodded when she saw her brother was fishing seriously.
The two walked to the other side to see the scenery. Yuyi didn't get wet at all from the rain.
Yu Yueyang felt happy when his clothes got wet, and he tilted his umbrella toward his fiancée again as he thought about it.
Yu Yi paid attention, "If you do this again, I will go back."
Yu Yueyang said hurriedly, "Goodbye."
Yu Yi raised the corners of her lips, "How did you convince uncle to let you go with us?"
Yu Yueyang's ears turned red, "Tell me, I don't trust you."
Yu Yi chuckled, "You are really bold."
Yu Yueyang also smiled with two dimples intoxicatingly, "I am indeed bold."
Yujiao ran over and said, "Sister, someone brought hot tea to Brother Minghui. Take a look."
Yu Yi looked over and saw that the girl had put down the teapot and turned around. The window of a room was open, and a girl in plain clothes was standing weakly. Sensing Yu Yi's gaze, the girl returned the favor.
Yu Yi frowned slightly and asked the mother-in-law beside her in a low voice, "Has this lady checked?"
When boarding the ship, the mother-in-law had already checked the top floor. The mother-in-law said: "A young lady who returned to her hometown to worship. I don't know anything else."
Yuyi looked over again, no wonder he was wearing plain clothes.
In the capital, Zhulan holds an invitation from the Yong'an Palace in her hand. Although Zhuo Guyu did not win the first prize, the emperor looks like he wants to be reused. The Yong'an Palace has been suppressed for too long and is eager to let the powerful people in the capital know about the Duke. Mansion.
Zhulan put down the post and said, "The eldest grandson who was second in the list has just been entertained by the Duke's mansion, and there is also a flower viewing banquet."
Li, "A little too eager."
Zhulan, "Yes, Zhuo Guyu hasn't taken office yet!"
Su Xuan asked, "This flower viewing banquet is not just about flower viewing, isn't it? Zhuo Guyu's cousins have also reached the marriageable age, and they also want to take advantage of the opportunity to meet each other."
Zhulan picked up the tea cup and said, "We are not going to the Marquis' Mansion."
Mrs. Li took the post and said, "My daughter-in-law will go back now."
"Um."
Zhulan chatted with her two daughters-in-law for a while, and then Changzhong came back, "Mom, my son is back."
Zhulan smiled when she saw the clarity in her son's eyes, "Why are you back so early?"
Chang Zhong drank tea to quench his thirst, "There were too many people in Gu Sheng's yard. My son didn't like the excitement, so he went back."
He blinked and said, "I don't know how Gu Sheng refused. None of the officials who liked Gu Sheng sent anyone today."
Zhulan was happy that Gu Sheng had a way to refuse, "By the way, where is Gu Sheng's eldest brother?"
Chang Zhong, "They will leave for their hometown to worship their ancestors in a few days. They should wait until they return to consider personal issues."
Zhulan asked no more questions, "Go back and rest."
"Mom, I'm going back."
"Um."
Zhou Shuren came back in the evening and said, "Jiang Du and Mu Fan have been relieved of their official positions."
"quite fast."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Both of them are sent to serve as county magistrates. The counties under their jurisdiction are both close to the sea. Although they are not in the same state, they are not too far apart."
Zhulan knew that this was arranged by the emperor for Shuren's sake, "It's good, the two of them can take care of each other."
Zhou Shuren said, "I can take office after returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors. I think the seaside is very good."
Zhulan felt a little regretful, "It's been so long since we came to ancient times, but we haven't gone to the beach together yet."
Zhou Shuren felt sad because his wife was trapped in the back house, "We must go and see it together this year."
Zhulan, "Okay."
In the following days, news of the engagement came out of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion. It was not Zhuo Guyu, but Zhuo Guyu's cousin. The emperor's move was a signal. In the past, those who wanted to pick up the bride and watch, this time the marriage was successfully completed. .
The Duke's Mansion made two marriage arrangements one after another, except for Zhuo Guyu. The Yong'an Duke's Mansion never concealed some of its actions. The louder the discussion, the more eyes fell on the Zhouhou Mansion.
Zhou Shuren could feel the probing eyes from the morning, squeezed his palms, and then raised his head to look at the emperor.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he had a premonition that Zhou Shuren was going to do something.
After the morning court, Zhou Shuren turned around and strode away without Wang Yu catching up. Anyone could see Zhou Shuren's anger.
After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren got on the Hubu carriage and said to Jinyan, "Go back home and call some good people over. You know who to call."
Jin Yan, "Yes."
Zhou Shuren said to the coachman: "Go to Yong'an Duke's Mansion."
The coachman from Hubu was stunned, suspecting that he heard wrongly, "Master Shangshu, won't you return to Hubu?"
Zhou Shuren, "Yong'an Duke's Mansion."
After saying that, he closed his eyes. The coachman was a little frightened. He rarely saw Master Shangshu with a gloomy face. Something big was going to happen!
In the palace, the emperor returned to the political palace and called Eunuch Zhang to inquire. After hearing that Zhou Shuren left the palace angrily, the emperor said, "..."
The prince said, "But because of Anhe?"
The emperor remembered Zhou Shuren's words, Zhou Shuren went to fight, "Go to Yong'an Duke's Mansion."
Prince, "??"
Zhou Shuren arrived at the Yong'an Duke's Mansion. The Yong'an Duke had contributed to the founding of the country. The emperor was very generous to several princes. The Duke's Mansion occupies a large area and the vermilion gate was intimidating. At least the coachman was a little timid.
Seeing the coachman's cowardice, Zhou Shuren said, "What are you afraid of? I have the support to break down the door."
Coachman, "..."
He himself was panicking, and why did Lord Shangshu want to smash the door of the Duke's mansion
