The foundation of the Zhou Mansion is stable, which means that the relationship with the Wang Mansion will be more stable. Marriage is a means of stabilizing the relationship. In essence, it still relies on one's own strength. As the strength of the Zhou Mansion increases, the relationship will become stronger.
Zhou Shuren also teased Wang Ju, "My wife didn't say much in her letter, but I still knew about Chang Lian and Rong Chuan. My wife mentioned in her mind that Chang Lian has a very good attitude, and you have also participated in the imperial examination." People’s mentality is very important. It’s easy to perform well if you have a good mentality. I still trust my son.”
This kind of trust is not just something he has personally taught, but Chang Lian is indeed something that makes people trust him. Unknowingly, the scheming boy who used to jump up and down has become trustworthy.
Wang Jue felt confident, "Then I'll wait for the results to be released."
Zhou Shuren said: "I don't know how many names will be chosen this year."
Wang Ju poured herself tea and said, "My old man doesn't think there will be too many people this year."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "What else did the old man say?"
This is a man who became a spirit in the court. He knows in his heart that he is no better than the old man. He is far behind!
Wang Ju lowered his voice and said, "My old man always thinks that the emperor is making some moves."
This is all dad’s experience!
Zhou Shuren looked at Wang Jue calmly, and thought to himself, as expected, he has remained neutral and has not been calculated. He is really sharp. This time, there are knives sharpened by the emperor. There are no moves, plus uncertainties. Shen Yang, this session is particularly lively.
Wang Ju smiled inwardly, and her father also said that Zhou Shuren must know something, otherwise he would not have allowed Yang to enter Beijing quickly. Judging from Yang's behavior after entering Beijing, Wang Ju felt that his wife should learn from Yang. Learn this and be careful.
Zhou Shuren continued to rock the rocking chair, thinking about the capital city, and then his brain ached. This messy network of relationships, with all kinds of mixed interests, was a mess. It was better to go out of town. Even if the network of relationships was messy, it would be clear. The capital city would be fine. From then on, Zhulan sent back the news of the investigation, which made him upset.
Zhou Shuren said quietly, "It's really not easy for the Emperor."
Such a complicated relationship requires not only a clear grasp, but also a close attention, and even more balance, but why doesn't the emperor's hair move back
Wang Ju's stomach was cramping. He didn't see anything difficult about the emperor, but he saw how powerful the emperor was. His old man had warned him many times not to get involved in anything, otherwise his leg would be lighter if it was broken. .
In the capital, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan came back in the afternoon. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that both children were fine, "The party was good today?"
Chang Lian drank a little wine and said, "Mom, the people participating today are all officials' children, and the people invited are all screened. It's just a chat, and it doesn't involve any sensitive topics. It's really good."
Rong Chuan bent his eyes and said, "Aunt, the party is very relaxing today."
Zhulan smiled, "That's good."
Chang Lian and Rong Chuan also need friends. Whether these friends are sincere or have a purpose, they all need to have their own network. It seems that not only she is investigating people, but others are also investigating the Zhou family.
In the palace, the emperor looked at Ning San sitting aside, "Just came from the queen's place?"
Ning Xu sighed, "Since I made it clear, the Queen has been focusing on recuperating me, so I am here to check my pulse."
The emperor was silent. It was useless. The imperial doctor beside him had already concluded that the poison had been cured, but the root of it was damaged. "She is also doing it for your own good."
Ning Xu smiled. She did some good things for him, but mostly she felt guilty. Over the years, her sister had changed a lot. At least in terms of status, she was first a queen and then a sister. She changed the topic, "How many days will the trial end?" The results are coming soon.”
The emperor was convinced that he was relieved of Ning Xu, but even if he was reassured, he would investigate clearly, "You want to ask Zhou Changlian?"
Ning Xu touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist. This was what his father and mother asked him for when he regained his identity. "Yes, no matter how you say it, he indirectly saved my life."
The emperor looked at the beads and thought of the Ning family. The two old men walked to the temple step by step to ask for the beads. In the cold winter, they just wanted to ask for the beads to bless their lost son. "Zhou Changlian, I will wait for the results to come out and take the palace exam." ”
He still had some confidence in Zhou Shuren's son, but he didn't know what the results would be in the examination list. As for the palace examination, the emperor looked at Ning Xu again. In fact, even if Ning Xu didn't come, he already knew it.
He did trust Zhou Shuren, but Zhou Shuren was not young anymore. The prince mentioned a few more words, and he was willing to let the prince train people he could use.
The emperor chuckled, "The Zhou family is really lucky this time."
Ning Xu also smiled, "It's indeed good."
Luck is also strength, not to mention that Mr. Zhou he is investigating has strength himself. Luck and strength make Mr. Zhou what he is today. He is very optimistic about the new Zhou family, which is also good for the Ning family. After all, mentioning Zhou Changlian today, It was also his calculation. He was not a pure person after all, and his calculations were never more than his true intentions.
In the following days, more posts from Zhou Mansion invited Chang Lian, and some also invited Rong Chuan by the way, but for the most part, Chang Lian was still the only one.
Rong Chuan never cared about it. This boy only wanted to add wealth to himself, "Auntie, I want to go see the shop introduced by Deng Xiucai."
Zhulan, "Shops in the capital are not cheap. Even if they are not prosperous, they still cost a lot of money."
Rong Chuan smiled, "All the shops I bought were rented out. At the end of last year, I was afraid that I would really be on the gold list and I didn't know where to arrange it. It was too troublesome to collect rent once a year, so I changed it to three years." Once the rent is collected, plus the new year’s money, I can still buy a medium-sized shop with the money I save and earn.”
Zhulan thought to herself, if Rongchuan keeps saving like this, this kid will have a lot of money when he gets married. Sure enough, there is a difference between those who have suffered and those who have not. Thinking about Changzhi at home, Zhulan Lan felt even more sorry for Rong Chuan, "Auntie is fine today. I will go with you."
Rong Chuan rolled his eyes, "Okay."
Chang Zhong jumped up and said, "My future young lady husband and I will also go."
Rong Chuan had heard a lot these days and his face was no longer red, but he still felt sweet in his heart, "Okay."
The carriage was ready. The shop was a bit far away from Zhou Mansion. When we arrived at the shop, Deng Xiucai was already waiting. Deng Xiucai introduced: "The shop is not in a prosperous area, but it is not bad."
Good shops are so rare. This one is better. Most of the prosperous shops are in the hands of powerful people. Even if they are sold, they will not be bought and sold privately. The last time he bought it for Zhou Mansion, he spent a lot of money. Great thought.
