The meaning of coming to Beijing is different. According to the emperor's high regard for Lord Zhou, it is said that when Lord Zhou comes to the palace these days, it is to give lectures to the emperor and the prince. This is even more serious. It shows that the emperor values Lord Zhou very much. Talented.
Master Zhou has the support of the emperor when he enters the capital, and his official career is smooth. This week, Zhou Changlian has a good father to protect him, and he has a promising future.
Chang Lian had never heard his father talk about it, but he had guessed so, but he couldn't say it out loud. If his father was really going to Beijing, at this juncture, he would have to be more honest, "How come I haven't heard of it?" Okay, stop guessing, just go about your own business."
Mr. Lu returned to his seat with a smile, thinking that he would still follow Zhou Changlian in the future, and it would be better for him to ignore Shen Yang's efforts to win over him.
Shen Yang put away the paper on the table. Even though Zhou Changlian's tone was calm, he could still hear the pride. Looking at the attitudes of other concubines out of the corner of his eye, Shen Yang couldn't help but clenched his fists.
In Zhou Mansion, Zhulan and her daughter returned to the house. Zhulan saw that her daughter was tired, so she said, "You should go back and rest too!"
When Xuehan arrived at home, her tense heartstrings relaxed, and she was still in the mood to reminisce about the experience of going to the palace. She smiled and said, "Mom, I'm going back to the courtyard first."
Zhulan nodded, "Go ahead."
Zhulan returned to the courtyard in a good mood, but did not see Zhou Shuren. After asking the maid, she found out that Zhou Shuren was taking his son to study in the study. Zhulan changed her clothes and sat at the table looking at the jewelry and jewelry. These were all for her. of.
Zhulan asked Mrs. Song to bring over a few small boxes. She picked some gems that suited her. Then she counted the number of gems and found that there were twenty-two left. The Queen's handiwork was really big. She could be sure that these were Most of it was given to her because she took good care of Rong Chuan.
Zhulan plotted against the female relatives of the family, the eldest daughter Xuemei and her granddaughters Jiang Miao, Xuehan, Yushuang, Yulu, Yudie, Yuyi, and the newly born Yuwen, eight people, two for each person, sixteen, and There are six left, one for each of the four daughters-in-law, and two left.
The bamboo orchid was given to Xue Han.
Mrs. Song put away all the divided boxes, "Mother, would you like to put this set of jewelry away too?"
Zhulan was curious enough, "Put it away and keep it in the capital without taking it back."
This set of jewelry is a good thing. I will wear it when I come to the capital in the future.
When Mrs. Song heard this, the smile on her lips deepened. She understood, "Yes."
Zhulan poured herself a cup of scented tea, "Time flies so fast. I still miss Xuemei and Jiang Miao."
My only granddaughter, I don’t know if she has changed as she grows up.
Mrs. Song considered it carefully and said, "If you miss the eldest lady, you can bring her over to live with you for a while."
Zhulan waved her hand, "Xuemei is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. She got married. She took her as soon as she was promised. The Jiang family can't live without her."
Zhulan wanted to take Jiang Du over. Her daughter and son-in-law had pinned their hopes on their eldest grandson. Now Jiang Du's age was suitable to take over. Speaking of which, Zhou Shuren was quite satisfied with Jiang Sheng's son-in-law. Jiang Sheng had already Finding what you want is such a rare thing.
Zhou Shuren came back with his son, Zhulan said, "I just wanted to go to the study, and you guys came back."
Changzhong asked, "Mom, is the palace fun?"
Zhulan tapped the tip of her son's nose, "That's not a fun place. What did you learn from Daddy at home?"
Chang Zhong lowered his head, "Dad is here to teach his son."
Zhou Shuren tugged on his son's pigtails with his hand, "This kid has been playing crazy lately. He has forgotten everything Chang Zhi taught him, and he has almost forgotten everything he knows how to write."
"Your pot."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He does have his reasons.
Chang Zhong felt embarrassed and blushed, "Mom, I will study hard."
Zhulan, "Mom, I believe you."
Seeing his wife looking at him, Zhou Shuren touched his nose and said, "I will supervise my son's studies in the future."
Zhulan hummed. She believed this. She patted her son's little butt and said, "Let's go play. Mom and dad will have a chat."
Zhou Shuren waited for Mrs. Song to take her son away, then sat down and asked, "How went you when entering the palace?"
"The queen is very satisfied with Xuehan. Although there were some temptations, our daughter did a good job without being embarrassed. She brought back a lot of rewards from this trip."
Zhou Shuren was relieved, "I'm going back to Jinzhou tomorrow, why don't you pack your luggage?"
"I won't take care of it anymore. I'll stay in the capital. Anyway, I'll be back soon."
Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand and said, "These are the last days of leisure."
Zhulan also sighed, "Yes."
In the afternoon, Rong Chuan came to see Chang Lian. Chang Lian raised his head and said, "Wait a minute, I'm almost done."
Rong Chuan was not in a hurry and sat aside to wait. There were still many people in the room who were not in a hurry to leave. Rong Chuan saw Shi Qing. During his days in the Hanlin Academy, he had never spoken to Shi Qing once.
Shi Qing felt something, raised his head and glanced at Rong Chuan, nodded invisibly, and continued to copy today's records.
Chang Lian finished here, handed over the copied records, and said to Rong Chuan, "Let's go."
Rong Chuan stood up and walked out, "Third brother, I ordered a hairpin at the jewelry shop. Let's take a detour to pick it up."
Xuehan was leaving tomorrow, and he really couldn't bear to leave. Xuehan was in the capital, and he could see her every day when he went home. Eating at the same table, as long as he ignored the other people on the table, was almost like getting married. He wanted to get married.
The two of them arrived at the jewelry shop. Rong Chuan paid the money and took the hairpin. Changlian said, "Wait a minute, and I'll choose a hairpin for your third sister-in-law too."
His wife has been working hard these days, and of course, he doesn't want her to talk about him.
Above, my father is always trying to please my mother, and below, I have Rong Chuan trying to give Xue Han a little surprise, but it will be a pain for him. These days, my wife has been talking about it a lot.
In order to have a little surprise, the lady even added more money to his wallet. This was no longer a hint, it was clearly stated!
Rong Chuan stopped choosing with his third brother and sat down to rest by the window. Rong Chuan looked at the street. The vendors on the street had not closed their stalls yet, and there were still many people on the street.
Chang Lian quickly chose the hairpin and said, "Let's go back."
Rong Chuan stood up and said, "Okay."
After the carriage had just driven for a while, it turned across the street and entered Xicheng District. The carriage stopped. The boy quickly came over and said: "The wheel of the carriage in front fell off. The old man's condition is not good."
Chang Lian opened the curtain and looked ahead. He could enter the Xicheng District. Even if the carriage was low-key, the identity of the old man was not simple. If Zhou Mansion's carriage passed by without paying attention, something would really happen to the old man. Oh, then he would become a enemy. "Go down and take a look."
With that said, Chang Lian got off the carriage, followed closely by Rong Chuan.
The carriage in front is really low-key, the gray carriage makes it hard to tell his identity, but from the bodyguard, it can be seen that the old man’s identity is not simple!
Chang Lian and Rong Chuan stepped forward, "My brother and I are passing by. Our carriage is right behind us. Please use it if you need it."
