The family emblem on the Marquis's carriage was particularly eye-catching. It was hard for Zhulan not to notice it. She watched the carriage stop. It was a familiar servant, a familiar person!
Mr. Deng was a little confused. He stared at the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion in a daze. He didn't understand why the carriage stopped.
Yazi huddled aside. As a small person, it was better for him to stay aside at this time!
This time Yao Zheyu did not sit in the carriage and look down from above. Instead, he helped the servant get off the carriage with his arm and politely saluted, "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Shuren was calm and composed. He would not come to see the man for no reason. He knew the man had been paying attention to the examination as soon as he heard the address. Zhou Shuren responded with "Young Master."
Yao Zheyu's servant said, "Young Master is already the Crown Prince."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
This unexpected event was quite big. She had almost forgotten the plot, but she had to remember the scene where the hero appeared. She clearly remembered that the hero was still a young master when he took part in the children's examination a year later!
Zhulan glanced at Yao Zheyu, who was dressed in black. Hmm, the fighting power of the blackened male protagonist is different!
Zhou Shuren became a tribute scholar in just a few months, and Yao Zheyu became the crown prince directly. The crown prince of this dynasty had to be approved by the emperor. Judging from the situation of the Marquis' Mansion, the emperor definitely wanted to destroy it as soon as possible. How could he approve the memorial so easily
And according to the situation of the male protagonist, it should be that his father does not love him and his stepmother harms him. Even in this situation, he can still ask the Marquis to give him a title. His fighting power is really strong!
The Crown Prince and the Eldest Son are two completely different concepts. The only thing the Eldest Son can boast of is his status as the legitimate son, while the Crown Prince can handle some things and have access to the connections of the Marquis' Mansion!
Yao Zheyu stared at Zhou Xiucai, who should be Zhou Gongshi. He had forgotten the little guy behind him, but he didn't expect that he would become a Gongshi after singing all the way. He was really amazing. He had a detailed investigation data in his hand. Yao Zheyu said: "Meeting is fate. I have a deep fate with Zhou Gongshi!"
Zhou Shuren kept smiling, but in his heart he wanted to curse. To be honest, he didn't want to be predestined with the male lead at all. Anyone who was predestined with the male lead would easily become cannon fodder. Although you are no longer the male lead, you are still very powerful. He really wanted to curse, "We have only met a few times, your words are too kind."
Yao Zheyu's smile deepened. Why didn't he think Zhou Shuren was a fox before, and a particularly cunning fox at that? He was wrong. "Mr. Zhou Gongshi did save this prince. What this prince said is the truth."
Bamboo orchid, "... "
Now you remember the life-saving grace, but you forgot when you threw the silver note to warn them about the grudges between them a few months ago? .
Zhou Shuren, "... I have already received the money. I will not save your life any more."
Yao Zheyu thought of money. He really didn't expect that Zhou Gongshi's wife was a good money-maker. The values of several houses she bought increased greatly, and she was jealous of him. He worked so hard to secretly scheme against merchants and openly scheme against his father. After several months, he only earned two thousand taels. Then, look at the Zhou family. In the few months before and after, the Zhou family's wealth at least doubled.
Yao Zheyu thought of the land in Pinggang, and his eyes became deeper. Zhou Gongshi’s fortune was a little too good!
The most frightening thing about the scene is silence. Zhulan wanted to curse in her heart. This is West City, the place with the most powerful people. Yao Zheyu killed someone and paid with his life. Well, their family has nothing to do with Yao Zheyu, but it seems to be related.
Look at Mr. Deng's stunned expression, and then look at Yazi's frightened expression. Well, she thinks the male protagonist is more annoying than a dog-skin plaster.
Yao Zheyu lowered his eyes, "Mr. Zhou, I have prepared some wine and food to congratulate Mr. Zhou. How about we go to the restaurant?"
Zhou Shuren cursed in his heart, you look like you're going to fight to the end. Whether he gets in the car or not, he has a close relationship with the young master of the Marquis's Mansion. He didn't want Zhulan to be left out in the cold. "Please, my lord."
Yao Zheyu turned around and got on the carriage, thinking to himself, the old fox is still a decisive person, why did he let it run away in the first place? Or was he too young!
Zhou Shuren enjoyed the Marquis's carriage again, and felt emotional in his heart. It was different to have a title. Look at the carriage, it was so magnificent that it made people jealous. And the Marquis's mansion was really rich. The emperor had been coveting the golden pig for a long time, so why hadn't he slaughtered it yet
He is really not a good person. Especially when facing dangerous people, his bottom line is lowered. He will remember the threat today!
Zhulan watched the carriage leave. Deng Xiucai was stunned. "Sister-in-law, are we still going to see the house?"
Zhulan gritted her teeth, "Look, let's go over there now."
With that, Zhulan got on her own carriage. She was with Eryue and Lichun, so she wasn't going alone. Why not go and see? Besides, she was feeling very upset. Yao Zheyu was still annoying as always, and his condescending attitude made her angry!
Mr. Deng and Yazi looked at each other and got on the carriage.
Zhulan looked at the house at the northwest border. The house was really shabby. The only thing Zhulan liked was that there was a well, a small pond, and several fruit trees in the yard. Oh, and there was also a small patch of messy bamboo.
Yazi was also very embarrassed. This house was not for sale before, and now no one wants to buy it. "The seller is not good at business management. He has been living off his capital for many years, so the house is a bit run-down."
“Is this a bit broken?”
If it weren't for the fact that it was not the season for snakes to wake up yet, Zhulan would never have come in. The yard was full of weeds, and looking at the rockery, Zhulan felt scared, fearing that there were big snakes hibernating underneath.
Yazi also felt a little guilty about speaking out, "The place is not bad. You can build it into a three-story courtyard. If it is well designed, it can also be designed like a southern house."
Zhulan counted the money in her mind. The place was indeed big enough, but it would cost a lot of money to build a new one. She thought of Wuchun's house again. Forget it. Zhulan pursed her lips and asked, "How much does this house cost?"
Yazi said: "Two thousand four hundred taels."
The last time Zhulan came to the capital to buy a house, she did not bargain for the price because it was the lowest price. She knew she would not be able to get it down even if she talked. Also, it was her first time in the capital and she was not familiar with Deng Xiucai. She and Zhou Shuren had weak financial backgrounds and did not want to be seen, so she just paid the money directly.
This time was different. Not only had her status changed, but in her heart, this house was not worth two thousand four hundred taels. "Two thousand one hundred taels, if it works, then forget it."
Yazi thought to himself, what a good fellow! He cut off three hundred taels at once, and then asked, "What about the second house in the west city?"
Zhulan really didn't like the house in West City. It was too small and she was just going to stay there temporarily. "Two thousand eight hundred taels. Now it's time to see what you are capable of. If you can agree on the price, I'll give you fifty taels as a thank you."
Yazi originally felt a little embarrassed. No matter how small the house in West City was, it was still West City. However, considering the benefits of fifty taels of silver and the fact that he still hoped the Zhou family would sell the house in South City, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Gongshi, please wait for my good news!"
Zhulan said to Mr. Deng: "I am sorry to bother you today. I will invite you to have tea alone some other day."
Mr. Deng relies on his cheap brother-in-law who is a third-rank official. Outsiders say that he is the brother-in-law of the Minister, but in fact, the younger brother of his original wife is the real brother-in-law. There are so many third-rank officials in the capital, and his cheap brother-in-law is not a minister, so he can't compare with the Marquis' Mansion, which holds the real power!
Deng Xiucai said politely: "I will come to visit you in person some other day."
Zhulan bowed and said, "I've been out for a while. I'll go back now."
Deng Xiucai, "Sister-in-law, take care."
