Zhou Shuren took the lady's handkerchief. There were not many words on the light green handkerchief, but the main point was clearly expressed. The Xu family's letter for help did not have many words in total. Zhou Shuren put down the handkerchief and tapped the table, "There is no human rights."
Zhulan nodded sadly, "Yes."
More than just a lack of human rights, the Xu family also had some influence, but in the end, they were worthless in the eyes of the powerful and could be wiped out at any minute. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Xu family suffered an unprovoked disaster. Originally, the Xu family had nothing to do with the Zhou family, but because they knew the Zhou family, the Xu family was involved. The Xu family has been doing business peacefully and they are very honest people.
After Zhou Shuren sighed, he became more determined to climb up. The higher he stood, the less likely he would be slaughtered. "In three days, I will go to the clothing store. Thank you for your help, madam."
Zhulan smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
Zhou Shuren collected the handkerchief and said, "I'll go to the study first and come back for dinner later."
"Um."
Zhou Shuren felt comfortable again and took out his handkerchief. It would be better to put this thing away. After putting it away, he looked out the window quietly, pouted his lips, stood up and left the study. On the way back, Zhou Shuren looked at the servant sweeping the floor and couldn't help stroking his beard. He had been observing for a long time, but he didn't notice it this time. It was a bit of a blow to his observation ability.
He also wanted to get more of the emperor's people in the palace, but the emperor was too stingy.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't know what Zhou Shuren was thinking, otherwise he would have been furious. He thought there were so many omnipotent spies and each one of them was a treasure, but he wanted more. He was too greedy!
After dinner, Zhulan remembered that the fourth brother and his wife had returned home, and she had not met them yet. Oh, her mind was on the handkerchief. She saw that Changzhi was unhappy, while Suxuan was smiling. The look in Suxuan's eyes seemed to melt Changzhi.
Zhulan was very gossipy, but unfortunately she couldn't ask. She felt sad and could only wink at her daughter, hoping to know the reason tomorrow.
Su Xuan, “… . . . .”
Mother-in-law, your expression is too obvious, she is tired!
Su Xuan thought of Chang Zhi defending her in the Wang family and felt happy. When she thought of Wang Li's ugly face, she could eat an extra bowl of rice.
Li saw that her fourth brother's wife ate three and a half bowls of rice. She was really a big eater. This time, she was no longer the biggest eater in the family.
The next morning, Zhou Shuren checked the study and found out that someone had moved it, so he went to the yamen with peace of mind.
Zhou Shuren arrived at the government office and looked at Lord Wang in surprise. This man was the one who checked the place. "Why are you here so early today?"
Lord Wang looked shocked, "Lord Zhou."
Zhou Shuren was thinking about the Xu family yesterday. He still admired the Xu family very much. The Xu family took so long to ask for help. It was obvious that they had obtained something useful as a bargaining chip. He was thinking about the Xu family as a breakthrough point. He really didn't pay attention to Changzhi. Looking at Lord Wang's listless appearance, he inexplicably wanted to laugh, "Ah, Lord Wang."
Lord Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please try to pay attention to the fourth young master's mouth in the future."
Yesterday's concubine's daughter was also stupid, well, she has never been smart. The better the relationship between him and his wife, the more his wife can't tolerate the concubine's daughter. His wife is good, she has not treated her badly since she was young. Compared with his miserable concubine's sister, the concubine's daughter is much better. The marriage he carefully selected has been ruined by himself. Even if he keeps it secret, some news will still leak out. Well, this time he can only look for a lower-level marriage.
Yesterday, the county princess came back home and showed that he was jealous of the county princess's dowry. Later, he was jealous of the county princess's good marriage. He didn't pay attention to his mouth. As a result, the county princess didn't say anything, but Mr. Zhou Si exploded. He was convinced. Mr. Zhou Si's mouth was really poisonous. After a speech, he accused the concubine of being unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous!
Lord Wang felt a headache whenever he thought about it. He was such a smart man, and his son was also like a spirit. The little girl couldn't be said to be too smart, but she was not bad either. Lord Wang thought that she must have taken after the concubine and was short-sighted.
Zhou Shuren smiled happily, looking at Lord Wang's miserable appearance, and said, "Please bear with me."
Otherwise, he really couldn't say anything to express his guilt. He was also very sad. If his youngest son really entered officialdom, he would have to work hard to prevent his youngest son from being put in a sack!
Lord Wang covered his chest. He thought it would be better for Mr. Zhou Zhou not to come to visit him in the future. He was also stupid. Although Lord Zhou sometimes disliked his own son, he was a person who protected his son at heart. "I have something else to do."
Zhou Shuren waved his thin paws and said, "Come and talk more when you have time."
Lord Wang, “… .”
No, he didn't want to see the Zhou family at all at the moment, especially Lord Zhou.
Zhulan also knew what had happened. She felt that, apart from Lord Wang who was afraid of having a concubine's daughter to trouble him, Mrs. Tao still welcomed Changzhi. Changzhi said something that Mrs. Tao could not say!
Xue Han sighed, "Mom, even though the four of us won't be taking the provincial exam next year, we will take it in the future, and we will enter the officialdom."
There is no need to say the second half of the sentence, mother will understand. She is really afraid that one day fourth brother will be beaten by someone with a club.
Zhulan's expression became serious. "You are right to worry, so call your fourth brother over."
Xue Han exclaimed, "I'll go right away."
Xue Han arrived at the courtyard of the fourth room and stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or out. She saw that her fourth brother was actually painting, and the painting was of his fourth sister-in-law sitting on a chair.
When Su Xuan saw Xue Han, she was stunned for a moment. She had hidden her curiosity from Xue Han, so why did she come back again? She blushed for a moment. This was really not her request to be painted. Chang Zhi thought she looked good in red clothes, so he painted it.
As soon as Su Xuan moved, Chang Zhi stopped writing. He turned around and saw his sister coming. "Why are you here again?"
There was a strong sense of disdain in his tone!
Xue Han looked up at the sky in silence. Although her fourth brother didn't welcome her very much at first, he never despised her like that. After getting married, his fourth brother changed. He said with a stern face, "Mother asked me to call you."
You think I want to come
Changzhi paused. His mother was calling him, so he had to go obediently. "I'll be there right away."
Originally, Xue Han wanted to go back to her own courtyard to accompany Wu Ning. Her teacher had taken leave these days, and she wanted to go back to study on her own. But now, because of her fourth brother's tone, she decided to go to the theater.
Zhulan saw Changze and Xuehan coming in. Before she could speak, Changzhi spoke first, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhulan pointed at Shenxing and said, "This is the best Kung Fu in the family. You should start by following Shenxing and practice martial arts."
Changzhi looked like he was struck by lightning. He could read books but not practice martial arts. His head was like a rattle. "No, mother, you can't do this to your own son."
It would be fatal. If there was no need to travel, what he would like to do most is lie down and read a book.
Zhu Lan sighed, "It is precisely because you are my own son that I changed it and let you learn. My son, I can't control your mouth. In order to avoid the possibility of sending the young to their deaths, I can only be cruel."
Chang Zhi pursed his lips. He knew it was because of what happened yesterday. Although Su Xuan was happy last night, she still told him that she shouldn't say that.
Zhu Lan covered her chest and asked, "Do you want to make mother sad?"
Changzhi's mouth twitched, "Mom, please stop acting." He didn't even shed a tear, "Son knows."
