The Zhou Hou Mansion was engaged to the Shao family, and Shao Ting came to the Hou Mansion again. It was refreshing and shy, and Shao Ting had to come. If Zhu Lan needed to recuperate, Jiang Ling and Shao Ting, whom she had trained, would take up the responsibility of the academy.
Jiang Ling did not accompany Shao Ting to the Hou Mansion. She needed to stay at the college, so Shao Ting had to come to the Hou Mansion by herself.
After the engagement, Shao Ting came to visit for the first time. Zhulan felt different when she saw Shao Ting again. Now she was half of her own family. Liu Jia got the news and came to the main hospital.
Zhulan had already finished talking to Shao Ting and said to Liu Jia, "I still want to call you, so just come here."
Liu Jia smiled and said: "The last time we met, Miss Shao and I didn't exchange a few words in a hurry. We must have a good chat this time when we get the chance."
Shao Ting hurriedly stood up to greet her. Even if she was engaged, she could not abandon the etiquette. "I have met Madam."
Liu Jia came over and said, "This is a revelation."
Shao Ting smiled and said: "The etiquette cannot be abolished."
After Zhou Houfu revealed his intention, the female officials of the college got the news and taught Shao Ting etiquette in private. Jiang Ling also trained Shao Ting how to manage a house. Although she was not as good as the official lady who had learned it since she was a child, Shao Ting also learned a lot about her intelligence. .
Liu Jia said to her grandma: "Grandma, I will accompany you to the college in the future."
Zhulan smiled, "Okay."
Liu Jia took the initiative to show her kindness, and Zhu Lan was happy to see it. The granddaughter-in-laws got along well with each other and there were less troubles at home.
Liu Jia has changed a lot when she became the Marquis of Rong An. Now it is difficult to see Liu Jia's background. In order not to lose the glory of the Rong family, the Ming Teng couple never stopped studying. Zhu Lan is becoming more and more satisfied with Liu Jia as her granddaughter-in-law.
Zhulan watched the two chatting, and her eyes fell on Shao Ting's clothes. She had not paid attention to the conversation just now, but now she saw that Shao Ting's clothes had changed, firstly the material of the clothes, and secondly the jewelry.
Zhulan smiled. The more Shao Ting paid attention to dressing up, the more it showed that Shao Ting was protecting the face of the Hou family.
I sighed in my heart, Jiang Ling's family was not in trouble, so how could Jiang Ling marry Shao Xun based on her character and background.
Half an hour later, Liu Jia sent Shao Ting away. Before he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Minghui coming back. He said to Shao Ting in a teasing tone: "I will tell you that Hui will definitely come back after receiving the letter."
Shao Ting's cheeks turned red and she couldn't help but glance at Minghui. Liu Jia smiled and let go of her hand and nodded to Minghui, then left with the girl and mother-in-law. She wanted to go back and have a good talk with her mother-in-law.
Today Minghui and Brother Mingrui went to the embassy to study, and they almost missed Shao Ting coming to the house, "Why didn't you inform me in advance that you were coming?"
Shao Ting was embarrassed, "If you are busy, please do your business first."
Minghui said: "Don't you want me to send you off?"
Shao Ting stared, this man was getting more and more arrogant, "I came by carriage."
Minghui smiled and said, "I'll give it to you."
Shao Ting did not refuse this time. She would not ride in a carriage anyway. Shao Ting looked at the scenery of the Hou Mansion and thought of her dowry, her ears turned red again, "Thank you."
Minghui knew what to thank, because he knew he was supplementing the betrothal gift.
In Zhoujia Village, Boss Zhou is very tired because he has to go back to the capital to meet not only his clan members but also the people who came to visit him.
Boss Zhou didn't see his younger brother when he came back. He only saw his younger son eating snacks. "Look at how fat you are and how you still eat such sweet snacks."
Ming Jing guarded a plate of snacks, "Dad, my son's physique is just like his mother's. No matter how fat he is, he won't gain too much weight."
On the contrary, it was difficult to lose weight. After confirming it several times, he felt more confident about eating and drinking.
Boss Zhou sat down and asked, "Where are your uncle and Ming Feng?"
Mingjing didn't sit still this time, and just smiled at her father, "My uncle went to the clan school to give lectures, and Ming Feng, who loves to learn, also went with him."
Boss Zhou felt his hands were itchy. He looked around and saw no sticks. He took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you go?"
In fact, they should have returned to Beijing long ago, but they were delayed for a few days due to the younger brother's lectures.
Mingjing felt that she couldn't keep snacks today, so she slowly moved towards the door, "You know your son?"
After saying that, Mingjing rushed out. He was going to the Clan Academy to seek protection from his uncle.
Mr. Zhou slapped the table grandly. Even though he had no hope for his younger son, he still got angry every time he saw his younger son not making progress!
On clan science, Chang Zhong gave a lecture to the clan members today, and what he talked about was not just eight-legged essay writing. Chang Zhong was very convinced by his clan members even before he won the top prize, and now he even worships Chang Zhong. Chang Zhong also talked about the changes in the imperial court during his lecture. .
He talked about the changes known to the people, and asked questions at every point.
Everyone in the clan wanted Chang Zhong to leave, but unfortunately they couldn't, so they could only try their best to remember what Chang Zhong said.
Chang Zhongchang listened to his father and brothers talking about government affairs since he was a child in the capital. His analysis was very accurate. These analyzes cannot be measured in money.
It was already dark when Chang Zhong returned to the house, and his throat felt uncomfortable even when he drank water from time to time.
Boss Zhou was very distressed, "Have a good rest tomorrow and don't go."
Chang Zhong shook his head and said: "We will set off the day after tomorrow and we will not miss the last day."
Boss Zhou is proud of his younger brother's achievements. Now he can leave a name for future generations. He, the elder brother, has taken advantage of it. He knows that his younger brother must understand his family background. Thinking of this, Boss Zhou feels happy.
The next day, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court. Since he personally wrote a post to invite the ministers who were at odds with him, these people did not have a good look towards him.
Zhou Shuren didn't feel it hurt his eyes at all. The more unhappy they were, the happier he was.
This morning we talked about several developed seaports in the DPRK and China. The previously no-man's land has become a hot spot. As more people and money gather, more things happen.
Zhou Shuren glanced at the zhezi in the emperor's hand, and the eldest grandson was thrown away by the emperor. The emperor did not tell him the news in advance, and he did not know whether the zhezi was written by the eldest grandson.
As they talked, Zhou Shuren felt a vague gaze and his back straightened. This was because he was jealous of him again!
Zhou Shuren felt proud that he had laid a firm foundation for the Zhouhou Mansion. As long as the foundation did not collapse, he would not have to worry about future generations.
After the morning court, Master Wei came over and asked, "Has Mr. Hou's eldest grandson sent any news?"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "No."
Master Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and did not explain that the emperor had struck it in advance. This was a signal to some people to take the initiative to handle it with care. His eldest son was at sea, "Hey, being a father is not easy."
Zhou Shuren laughed and said, "Your two sons are very good."
Lord Wei felt happy when he heard the praise, and it showed on his face, "They are still far from your son."
My own son didn’t come back with a top score in the examination!
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Chang Zhong is also your son-in-law."
Mr. Wei was so happy that the Wei family, who was the number one scholar in Changzhong, was also very prosperous. He was so happy that he wanted to talk about the day of getting married. Fortunately, he was clear-headed and quickly closed his mouth. The woman could not speak first.
In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Zhi wanted to find Gu Sheng, but before he could raise his foot and slap his forehead, Gu Sheng had already been transferred and was now working with Wu Shangheng. Gu Sheng proved with practical actions that he had no ambition, and Chang Zhi thought again good.
In particular, Gu Sheng took care of everything at home and abroad, and even the betrothal gifts were well prepared. Changzhi was even more satisfied, and his daughter didn't have to worry at all.
Chang Zhi thought this, and Gu Sheng appeared. Chang Zhi was happy, "I'm just trying to tease you!"
