Shen Shi poured a cup of tea and said, "Master Zhou, regardless of our status, we are just chatting. Please drink tea."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips inwardly. He would be stupid if he believed it. He took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea."
There was a smile in Shen Shi's eyes, "Mr. Zhou, you also know that I have a little girl who I really treat as my treasure. Now I am engaged to Prince Yao. I know that you have worked with Prince Yao for many days. , I, as a father, just want to ask for my daughter, what do you think of Prince Yao?"
Zhou Shuren put down the tea cup and added another cup for himself, "Master Hou already knows this, doesn't he?"
Shen Shi leaned back in his chair. He did know that it was precisely because he knew too much that he realized that the power of the Shen family had made the emperor afraid.
Zhou Shuren looked at the smiling Marquis Shen. This place in the capital is really a fox den. The generals are not honest. Look at the foxy appearance of Marquis Shen. Marquis Shen knows that this marriage is not only to increase Yao Zheyu's fortune, but also to take advantage of Yao Zheyu. The Hou Mansion weakened the power of the Anping Hou Mansion.
When two parties compete, there is never a real winner, and they are bound to kill each other!
Shen Shi squinted his eyes, but his eyes never left Zhou Shuren. To be valued so highly by the emperor was indeed not an ordinary person. He was still happy. Only smart people can go further, especially Zhou Shuren's official position. There is still a lot of room for promotion, which means Even if the imperial power changes, as long as Zhou Shuren remains stable, he will not become a victim of the imperial power.
Shen Shi is not in a hurry. He still has time to wait for Zhou Shuren to come to Beijing. "Zhe Yu is alone in Jinzhou. Please take care of him in the future."
The imperial decree conferring marriage cannot be changed, so we can only hope that Yao Zheyu can be more obedient and not be destroyed before returning to Beijing.
Zhou Shuren understood, "Haha, Lord Marquis is joking, Crown Prince Yao is really awesome!"
Shen Shi's heart was filled with worry. He was worried because he was so powerful. He had always wanted to find an honest and honest son-in-law for his daughter. He didn't need to be smart, he just needed to be honest and responsible. Now, every time he thought about this, he would be depressed. .
In the palace, the emperor listened to the report and waited for others to go down. He signaled Eunuch Liu to open the window. It was snowing lightly outside. The emperor recalled Shen Shi's words and laughed softly. It was not in vain that he mentioned Zhou Shuren in front of Shen Shi many times. He was not It’s just that the Shen family can’t go any further. What he can guarantee is the current power of the Shen family. But when the imperial power changes, he will no longer guarantee it. Fortunately, Shen Shi has always been a sensible person and knows what he knows. Know how to back off.
There are smart people in the court, but unfortunately too many people cannot control their ambitions.
The wind and snow outside the window were getting heavier and heavier. He signaled to close the window and returned to the desk to take out the will he had written the day before yesterday. He really didn't want to kill someone years ago, but it was a pity that he had to kill him.
Eunuch Liu held the imperial edict in his hands, and his heart was shaking violently. Last year, he killed many people at this time, and it is the same this year. The past two years have been really restless.
At noon, Zhou Shuren waited for the wind and snow to subside and said goodbye to Lord Shen. Zhou Shuren got on the carriage and thought, Lord Shen's appearance was too deceptive. He and Lord Shen chatted a lot, including poems, songs, ancient books and articles. Lord Shen opened his mouth and came, and many insights gave him a lot of inspiration.
Zhou Shuren lifted the curtain of the car. The capital city is really a place where acting skills are competed. It is also a place where the fittest survive. Natural selection is extremely cruel!
Zhou Shuren and An Pinghou drank tea together for nearly a whole morning. They came out together, talking and laughing, which attracted people's attention. One was the emperor's loyal supporter, and the other was a confidant. They were both trusted by the emperor. .
When the second prince heard the news, he was reading the confession. He motioned for people to go out. He stood up and thought about when these two people had become good friends. He knew that Lord Shen had sent the post, but he didn't expect that Zhou Shuren had arranged for them to be together. He would meet alone today. Mr. Shen, is there something wrong
The third prince couldn't understand, but he could just wait and see what happens in the future. He had something more worrying.
The fourth prince felt irritable. He didn't like this feeling of being unpredictable. He felt a little irritable when facing his father!
In the prince's house, the prince rarely rested. After hearing the news, he thought about it for a while and smiled. Thinking of his father's many evaluations of Zhou Shuren, his father said bluntly that Zhou Shuren climbed up not for power, but more for protection.
At that time, he was stunned when he heard it, and his father laughed. He said that details depend on nature. This is the result of his observing Zhou Shuren for several years.
The prince laughed, and his father should be surprised when he came to the conclusion. However, it at least showed that Zhou Shuren was available. This was the news that his father passed on to him. Even if his father didn't say it, he felt that Mr. Zhou was good and agreed with his father. The emperor's blessing is said.
The prince clenched his fists. His father had given him too many things this year. He suppressed the heat in his heart. At this time, he should calm down. His father's tests were everywhere, and he should move forward cautiously.
In Jinzhou Prefecture, the Zhulan family has not closed its mansion. With the visit of the Xu family yesterday, the Ran Qi family has arrived today. Zhulan knows that she can't stop her from the beginning, but the time of the Ran Qi family's arrival is actually noon.
Zhulan looked at the smile that couldn't be hidden on Mrs. Qi's face, "Is this a happy event at home?"
Mrs. Qi grinned, "It's indeed a happy event. I was supposed to come to visit in the morning, but a happy event happened, so I came a little late."
Zhulan was even more curious, "It seems to be a great event."
Mrs. Qi said cheerfully, "Yes, I'm going to be a grandmother."
Zhulan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It is indeed a great event, congratulations."
Miss Ran San is pregnant. It must have been three months since Mrs. Qi could tell her, and she couldn’t hide it anymore. Now everything that needs to be known is known. No wonder Mrs. Qi is so happy. Miss Ran San’s pregnancy means that the prince It’s really good for Miss Ran San.
Mrs. Qi was really happy that her daughter was pregnant. She knew in her heart that the status of the prince was very stable. Thinking of the master laughing, Mrs. Qi sighed. The Qi family should not be peaceful anymore, and she was worried that her daughter could Can't be born.
Zhulan watched the Qi family change and understood. The Qi family realized the crisis. There were too many people who didn't want Miss Ran San to give birth to a child. The woman in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, the Qi family, and the third prince. The third prince didn't I hope Master Ran will switch to someone else.
Although Master Ran has always been the emperor's servant, the third prince doesn't know it!
Mrs. Qi originally just wanted to share the joy, but now that the joy is gone, she feels very anxious, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
In the capital, Zhou Shuren received a message for a visit. When he saw the message, he signaled to Jinyan to invite someone in. Jiang Ming didn't even change her official uniform. Zhou Shuren said, "I thought you were very busy!"
Jiang Ming sat down, "I'm really busy, so I only took one afternoon off. It took a lot of effort for my uncle to come back. I'm afraid that he will go back to Jinzhou by the time I take a break."
Zhou Shuren looked at Jiang Ming. He hadn't seen her for a long time. Jiang Ming had changed a lot. He saw ambition in Jiang Ming's eyes. To be honest, he was disappointed. In fact, there was no need to come to the door. Isn't the Dong family in the Zhou family? Why did Jiang Ming come all the way? Come to think of it, the capital has given birth to Jiang Ming’s ambition!
