Liu Ya left, and Zhu Lan called Xue Han over, "Shui Pozi will follow you in the future, so if you have any questions, just ask her."
Xue Han, "Mom, I know. Today, Shui Po pointed out several things I did wrong. Mom, I will ask for your advice."
"You should ask Shui Po to teach Liuli and Liujin more. They will follow you in the future."
Xue Han, "Mother, can I let Sister Wu's maids and servants learn with me?"
Zhulan touched her daughter's hair. This girl was kind-hearted. "Yes."
Xue Han curled her eyes. She couldn't help with anything else, but it would be good for her to help Sister Wu teach the maids and old women well. She would also be able to protect her sister if anyone bullied her in the future.
In the afternoon, Wan Jiu brought people back. Wan Jiu no longer had to drive the car and could follow Zhou Shuren. Wan Jiu's ability was recognized, and Zhu Lan was confident in his vision for buying people.
After reading it, Zhulan handed it directly to Mrs. Song and asked her to teach it.
There were more people in the family, and they had bought someone. Both Zhao and Dong knew about it. Zhao's belly was bigger than Zhulan's. Dong didn't come over, but Zhao did. "Mom, the head of the family has been gone for a while, and I don't know when he will be back."
Zhulan was also worried about him. It was indeed not long before he left. "Soon."
Zhao hoped that the head of the family would come back earlier, but she also didn't want him to come back earlier. If he came back, they would have to go back to Chuanzhou City and would be back for the New Year.
It’s still better to be at home. I have my son and daughter to accompany me. I don’t have to cook and there are people to serve me. I can do needlework in my free time and play with the children when I’m bored.
Zhao didn't want to go back to Chuanzhou. She regretted it. "Mother."
Zhulan hummed, "What's wrong?"
These days, Zhao never made her feel upset, and she no longer kept her words to herself. Zhulan felt much more comfortable getting along with Zhao. Although her attitude towards Zhao did not change, she became much more patient.
Zhao smiled and said, "Nothing, mother, you take a rest, I will go back first."
She knew that her mother-in-law and father-in-law were both people who kept their word and would not easily change their words.
Zhulan thought Zhao was here to ask about the old women and maids, but it seemed not to be the case. She quickly realized that Zhao didn't want to leave. She only cherishes something after losing it, but it was too late.
Zhou Shuren brought five people home, all of whom were taken away from the yamen. Lord Chen and Lord He did not sleep all night and kept walking around the house, wondering if they had said anything inappropriate.
When Zhou Shuren saw the two adults, his face lost all color. Even the dark-skinned Lord He looked a lot paler.
There are really no fools here. They all know that they are the emperor's men. Look how scared the two adults are. No, it should be said that all the officials in the government office are scared.
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Hey, what's wrong with Master Chen?"
Lord Chen wanted to curse. If he didn't know that the five people Lord Zhou took away were already there before Lord Zhou came, he would have suspected that they were brought here by Lord Zhou. Well, the ones he and Lord He didn't transfer here were already there. They were always walking on the edge of a knife.
Master Chen took a deep breath and took a sip of tea to calm himself down. "Master Zhou, I am truly impressed by you."
He originally thought that Lord Zhou was too arrogant for daring to accept gifts and resell them. Lord Zhou had offended too many people. He had been keeping his distance from Lord Zhou in the past few days. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhou knew that there were the emperor's people in the mansion.
He is particularly good at choosing, and the coachman is one of them. He really sympathizes with the forces that are looking for Lord Zhou. The emperor must know it now.
Lord He's eyes flickered. He was terrified watching Lord Zhou's actions during these days. But there was a sudden turn of events. The emperor brought the people back to the palace. Anyone who dared to attack Lord Zhou at the risk of his life would be challenging the emperor. The emperor let Lord Zhou take the people away and told Lord Zhou directly to pay attention to the people. The emperor was protecting Lord Zhou.
Lord He smiled, "Congratulations, Lord."
Zhou Shuren said meaningfully: "Congratulations, everyone."
Lord He was happy that his support these days had paid off.
Lord Chen had no idea what the two were talking about. He only knew that he had kept his distance from Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou not only cheated people, but also held grudges. He had seen many people being punished in the past two years. Lord Chen wanted to apologize, but it seemed like he was trying to cover up something. If he didn't apologize, he would feel uneasy and was really conflicted.
Lord Chen couldn't help but twitching his lips when he thought of Lord Zhou's love of money. Only Lord Zhou dared to resell the gifts he received. What made him even more jealous was that the Emperor knew about it and acquiesced. It was really frustrating to compare yourself with others. Alas, when Lord Zhou leaves, he has to prepare a generous gift.
At the garrison, Yang Wuchun and Zheng Hong also learned the news. Zheng Hong said quietly, "It's my grandfather's fault that he likes Lord Zhou so much. Every time he goes back, he mentions Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou is incredible!"
Yang Wuchun smiled and said, "Uncle is also lucky."
Zheng Hong is not as smart as his brother, but he is not stupid either. This thing really has nothing to do with luck. It's a pity that marriage is not possible.
The emperor's operation put an end to the endless temptations and attempts to win over the people. Now everyone is huddled like quails, fearing that they will be held accountable. Lizhou City is now stable.
There was quite a stir in the capital city, especially as the year was approaching. The emperor, who seldom took action, issued an edict to dismiss and kill a group of people. The emperor also used blood to warn the increasingly restless people that he was not yet old.
The capital was quiet. The prince went to the palace to see his mother. "Your son greets you, mother."
The queen did not like to wear fancy clothes, she wore simple and elegant clothes. She was very happy to see her son. "You have been busy recently. I haven't seen you for a while. Look how thin you have become."
The prince helped his mother sit down, "Mother, my son will recover soon."
The Queen stared at the Prince's face, and the Prince asked, "Why is your Majesty looking at your son like this?"
"Nothing, I'm just getting old and my eyesight is a little blurry."
"The Queen's eyes are very good, how could they be blurry?"
The prince turned around and saw his father coming in. He saluted hurriedly, "Father."
The emperor waved his hand to avoid formalities and sat down next to the queen. The queen said calmly, "I am here."
The Emperor: "... Yeah."
Prince, “… .”
He always felt awkward between his father and his mother. It's hard to explain to you how unpleasant it is. There were really very few concubines in his father's harem. The few concubines he had were taken in during the rebellion. He really didn't take anyone into the harem after he ascended the throne. Moreover, his father spent most of his time in his mother's palace in a month.
Well, he always felt like there was something between them.
When he was young and had heavy schoolwork, he really didn't pay attention to it. Now that he has grown up, started a family, and understands the relationship between husband and wife, he can see clearly that there is a big gap between his father and mother.
In Lizhou City, Chang Lian made an appointment with Shi Qing and Meng Jie for dinner. Chang Lian couldn't invite anyone home, so he could only invite people outside. Fortunately, the third house had received a lot of money, so he had a lot of money on hand.
The reason why Chang Lian invited the two of them was simple. He found that he could learn a lot every time he chatted with Shi Qing. He could also understand the gap between him, Shi Qing and Meng Jie. There was no harm in chatting more.
Chang Lian saw Shi Qing looking at him without drinking, and was puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
