Zhou Shuren was holding a cup of hot tea in his stomach. Mr. Wang had already dismissed the servants in the yard, leaving only Wang Yu beside him.
The old man held the hand stove and said, "This time the Wang family is successful, and they will not show up again in the next ten years."
Zhou Shuren poured himself another cup of hot tea, "You're done now."
The old man smiled, he was also tired, but he was born in a noble family and enjoyed everything the family brought him. As long as he survived, he would plan for the future of the family, "I want to say good things to you, but unfortunately, he is still far from you. Quite a few.”
Wang Ju was not unconvinced. He watched Zhou Shuren go all the way to where he is today, and he couldn't help Zhou Shuren's sobriety.
The old man continued: "If you can keep the Wang family after I die, I still hope you can take more care of it. The good of the Wang family is very important to the Zhouhou Mansion."
It is difficult to support a single tree. The Wang family does not participate in the struggle for imperial power, and is the best ally with the Zhou Hou Mansion.
Zhou Shuren said, "I understand, don't worry, old man."
The old man added: "Don't be polite if you need me in the future. The Wang family's connections are deeper than you think."
Zhou Shuren's heart moved and he said with a smile: "I don't hope it will be useful one day."
The old man didn't hope either. He hoped that the Zhouhou Mansion could last forever. The two families were in-laws and the future family would have blood from the Zhou family. He had arranged everything he could. Finally, he had no regrets after talking to Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren stayed at the Wang family for a long time and met Yulu's two children. He did not leave the Wang family until he went down.
Returning to the Hou Mansion, Zhulan said: "You went to the Wang family today and stayed for so long. The Wang family has become a slut. Those who want to plot against the Wang family have to think twice."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I did it on purpose. Although I didn't intervene to help the Wang family plan, the good Wang family is indeed beneficial to our family."
Zhulan smiled and asked, "Is the old man okay?"
Zhou Shuren's heart sank, "It's not very good, but I can still hold on. Now is not the time to die."
Zhulan's heart was heavy, "When the old man passed away, the Wang family wanted to go home to observe mourning. It is indeed not the right time. The Wang family has just gained a benefit."
"Well, so the old man has to hold on. The Wang family has many excellent doctors."
Zhulan was quite shocked, "The old man does it all for the family."
The ancient people's family concept was too strong.
Zhou Shuren said: "It's too tiring to carry the lives of the entire Wang family on my body."
Zhulan said: "You are also very tired, and you also carry many lives on your body."
Once you reach a certain status, it is not easy as you think. As long as it is profitable, if you have no ability, you will only be swallowed up. Then it will be really miserable.
Zhou Shuren added: "I haven't received a letter from Chang Lian recently."
Zhulan said: "What a coincidence, his letter arrived in the capital today."
"Let me see."
Zhulan stood up, took the letter, handed it over and said, "It's no big deal. The most important thing is that Dong's pregnancy was not good."
Zhou Shuren quickly browsed the letter, "It's not easy for him either. He has too many calculations in a place where aristocratic families gather together."
"Dong's pregnancy is not good because she is worried. I'm thinking of sending a few women there. The women from the Hou Mansion can scare many people."
Zhou Shuren, "Just make arrangements."
Zhulan had some thoughts in mind and wanted to find a daughter who came from the palace. "The Dong family is quiet now."
Zhou Shuren sneered, "The Dong family is divided, and the Dong family is very clear about things. If you still can't see clearly after so many years, there is something wrong with your brain. Anyway, with Chang Lian here, the Dong family doesn't dare to go to Beijing."
Speaking of her in-laws, Zhulan mentioned Zhao's natal family, "In the end, I have always been peaceful."
Zhou Shuren looked strange, "Chang Yi is cruel, it's strange that the Zhao family is dishonest."
Zhulan also smiled, "You are tired and take a rest."
Zhou Shuren didn't feel tired, "The Zheng family is about to be released."
"So fast?"
Zhou Shuren laughed and said, "The emperor has found out everything that needs to be investigated, and has already issued an order for the Sun family to return to Beijing."
Of course, the emperor also controlled the army, otherwise he would be afraid of trouble. He was quite surprised so quickly, which confirmed one point. Don't think that Emperor Tiangao has become his own army. The emperor has been watching!
Time passes quickly, the autumn harvest is over, and the most lively thing in the capital right now is the impeachment of General Sun. All kinds of evidence are available, the generals are fighting, and there are many twists and turns about participating in the generals. Only this time it seems to be true.
The Zheng family was also lively. After the Zheng family lifted the ban, many people came to ask for Miss Zheng's hand in marriage, but the Zheng family refused because of Miss Zheng's young age.
There are also people who come to Zhouhou Mansion and want to ask Zhulan to help with matchmaking. They think that coming from the same place still has some dignity.
Zhulan was pushed out, and then she didn't like staying at home anymore, so she went to the academy more often.
Yuyi and the others at home also like to go along, well, they are more curious about Shao Ting.
Today Zhulan is also going to the academy, not only with her granddaughters, but also with Shangguan Li.
When she arrived at the academy, Zhulan got busy. After the autumn harvest, Shao Ting went to the nearby area to promote the school without classes. Many more women came to study. Although some female orphans left, the academy gradually became lively.
In order to recruit more female students, Zhulan stipulates that there will be rewards for the first ten students in the final exam, up to one tael of silver. Not only that, half of the tuition fees will be waived every three years of the school year, which is still effective.
Yujiao took Shangguanli around, "How about it? I'm not exaggerating. Isn't this place very nice?"
Shangguan Li received an elite education at home. Despite his young age, he was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This was the first time he saw so many female students. "It's really not an exaggeration."
Yujiao pointed to the newspaper, "Look here."
Shangguan Li's eyes widened, "They are really amazing."
Yujiao nodded, "So my grandma is the most powerful."
The proud look made Shangguan Li laugh out loud, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Zhou Hou is the most powerful."
Yujiao smiled and said, "Come back tomorrow?"
Shangguan Li shook his head, "I'm going to see my sister tomorrow."
Yujiao rolled her eyes. She had met many noble people since she was a child, and she was bold. "Is everything going well, Crown Princess?"
Shangguan Li held her friend's hand, so Yu Jiao asked her no questions asked. Zhou Houfu was trustworthy, but she couldn't say, "It's pretty good."
Yujiao knew a lot. She was also aware of the last time the princess had fetal irritation. She let go of her friend's hand and walked around her friend a few times, then whispered: "Don't bring spices in your purse, and don't bring bright-colored ones either." French style, just wear what you are used to, don’t do laundry specifically.”
Shangguan Li was confused, "Huh?"
Yujiao raised her chin, "Believe me, I'm right."
She grew up listening to her grandma's stories, as well as some house gossip in the capital. Her mother was not around, so her second aunt and fourth aunt would tell her and her sister everything they knew, for fear that they would suffer in the future.
Early the next morning, Zhulan had just had breakfast when Butler Ding came over and delivered the post, "Post from Shangguan Mansion?"
