In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back with the box in his arms. He didn't take a break even after changing into his official uniform, and signaled Qingxue to come over with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Zhulan had been watching Shuren busy, and then she said, "What do you want to write?"
Zhou Shuren touched the box and opened it carefully, taking out Mr. Wang's insights and experiences, "This is the wealth left by the old man."
The essence of the big family!
Zhulan's eyes widened a bit, "How did you get it?"
Zhou Shuren laughed and said, "At first I thought it was Wang Yu who was showing off, but then I thought it was wrong. It must have been the old man who left his last words. I have no teacher to lead the way in my life, and the old man can be regarded as my half-master."
Zhulan sighed, "The old man is indeed very kind to you."
Zhou Shuren took out his notes and touched them, "I will also leave my insights and experiences in the future."
"Um."
The couple had a simple dinner, and Zhulan also helped write. Not to mention Zhou Shuren, Zhulan gained a lot of insights while writing and reciting silently. Every sentence in the notes is the essence, every word of wisdom, baby!
The next day, Zhou Shuren had no time to write, so Zhulan took it over. The couple were not so shameless and refused to return it, so they might as well write it down and return it to Wang Yuan as soon as possible.
And I only wrote it down for my own reading, and it will be destroyed in the future. The old man showed it to Shuren out of affection, and they couldn't push it too far.
As the days passed, in Prince Qin's Mansion, Rong Chuan looked through the investigation information, "Chuanzhou?"
Ze'er nodded, "The An family's ancestral home is Sichuan, but he only works in Pennsylvania."
Rong Chuan knew a lot. Although he stayed behind closed doors to observe his filial piety, he would sometimes go into the palace to chat with his brother. Where did his fourth brother go? The emperor told him that he was also a person who had seen Mi Zhe, "Chuanzhou."
Ze'er was confused, "Dad, is there anything wrong with Chuanzhou?"
"The problem is not small. It seems that we need to investigate Mr. An from the Ministry of Industry."
"ah?"
Rong Chuan smiled, "Leave the rest to me."
As for Lu Jiaqing's matter, there is only information about the An family. The An family has not lost any children and there are no problems in the back house.
Ze'er felt itchy in her heart, but she could only endure it. He was still too young, "What about Lu Jiaqing?"
"Continue to investigate around Anjia."
No information about Lu Jiaqing has been found so far.
Ze'er said, "Dad, if the investigation is unclear, would you still recommend Lu Jiaqing to join the palace as a guard?"
Rong Chuan rubbed his son's head, "You must know that there are no traces left by the passing geese that cannot be detected."
Ze'er, "Dad is right."
Rong Chuan asked, "Has it been difficult to study in the palace these days?"
Ze'er shook his head, "It's not difficult. My son still likes to listen to grandpa's lectures."
It's a pity that grandpa is too busy. He can only ask for more advice when grandpa is on annual leave.
"Your grandpa worked hard."
The country has developed so far, and my father has paid so much behind the scenes.
Ze'er's eyes were filled with admiration. There were too many people in the capital who were envious and jealous of grandpa, but they couldn't say anything against his will about his abilities!
In Zhouhou Mansion, Countess Zheng brought her daughter to visit. Zhulan was puzzled because the two families had not been around except for giving New Year's gifts during the New Year.
Countess Zheng said: "Young Master is in the Hanlin Academy on Thursday. I would like to inquire about Mr. Gu from the Hanlin Academy."
Zhulan, "!!"
What a discerning eye!
The countess waited for a reply with good eyesight. She asked about Mr. Gu, but the more she asked, the more she felt something was wrong. Today's inquiry was a test.
Zhulan smiled, "Gu Sheng, this kid has a lot of ideas and knows how to live a good life. My fourth child always protects me closely."
The countess sighed, finally choosing her son-in-law, "The count heard that Mr. Gu's paintings are good, so he wanted to buy one, so I shamelessly asked about it."
Zhulan thought that smart people just feel comfortable talking, "Gu Sheng must be happy, he has been saving his family wealth."
The Countess smiled and said, "Master Thursday has good taste."
Zhulan wanted to say that her granddaughter had good taste, and then added: "Time flies so fast. It's autumn again, and the capital will be lively again in winter."
The countess thought slightly, "Madam is right."
Zhulan glanced at Miss Zheng who was drinking tea quietly. The little girl was gentle and didn't look like a girl from a military general's family. Speaking of which, the Zheng family didn't look like a military general either.
After talking for a while, the countess left with her daughter.
Zhulan said to Qingxue: "The Zheng family is planning to choose a son-in-law from a poor family with no foundation."
Qingxue, “There are not many choices in Earl’s Mansion.”
Zhulan said in her heart that it was not easy, and the Zheng family was deeply afraid of making the wrong move and causing disaster.
At home, Chang Zhi and Chang Zhong had left, and no one familiar with Gu Sheng was around. Zhulan signaled to Qingxue and Yuwen that the painting would be sent to the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion would help sell it.
Yuwen signaled that she understood. When Qingxue left, the eldest girl said, "Miss, the Zheng family is not the only one who is eyeing Mr. Gu."
Yuwen, "It shows that I have good taste."
"You're not afraid."
Yuwen is not afraid. Firstly, she trusts her own vision. Secondly, Gu Sheng cannot be manipulated at will. "You go and send the message."
The eldest girl was stunned, "Miss, don't you go in person?"
"I won't go, I promised dad."
The eldest girl couldn't say anything. The master left and made the young lady promise not to see Mr. Gu until he comes back!
Yuwen continued to read the newspaper. She would not interfere with the test her father gave Gu Sheng. She looked through the facts in the newspaper and found that the newspaper was very popular with her.
In the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng got on his carriage and the boy told the news from the Marquis Mansion, "Sir, everyone in the Earl's Mansion is begging to buy your paintings!"
The tone of his voice was full of honor. My master is very powerful. The most powerful thing is that he is favored by Zhou Houfu!
Gu Sheng didn't feel very happy. Instead, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the Earl's Mansion wanted to buy a painting, he could just go to him directly. Why bother with a large circle? He obviously went to Zhou Hou to confirm the news. Would the Hou Mansion think he was uneasy? point
Then he relaxed. If the Hou Mansion had an idea, he wouldn't help sell paintings!
The boy asked: "Sir?"
Gu Sheng came to his senses and said, "It's okay, I'm a little tired today."
The presence or absence of Mr. Zhou from Hanlin Academy had a great influence on him. As long as Mr. Zhou did his job well, no one would add errands to him, and he could still have time to drink tea with Mr. Zhou.
After Mr. Zhou left the Hanlin Academy, he had more and more work. Recently, he couldn't go to the Yamen on time. He came out half an hour late today.
Forget it, there are many errands to be done, he is not afraid of them, he has real talent and knowledge and can complete them. The biggest change is that he has entered the palace less often. Recently, Zhuo Guyu has entered the palace.
He is not jealous of Zhuo Guyu and knows that he will not be valued without reason. He deeply understands that his success comes from the blessing of the Hou Mansion.
Minghui asked, the nearest county town in Zhoujiacun, "Seeing that we are home, why don't we rush on our way while the city gate is still open?"
Chang Zhong said, "No, I want to stay in the county for two days to rest."
We agreed to walk slowly, but the roads were well repaired and we returned to our hometown earlier than expected.
Minghui sounded a little excited, "I just want to visit my hometown town tomorrow."
Chang Zhong had already got off the carriage, "Yeah."
