In the capital, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan returned to their house. Mrs. Dong had been waiting at the door early. Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "I'm back."
Chang Lian paused for a moment, "Madam, is there any happy event at home?"
Today's lady looks like he has passed the imperial examination, it must be a great joy.
Mr. Dong said as he walked: "As soon as you left in the morning, Lord Ning and Prince Ning came to the house to give gifts of thanks."
Chang Lian understood, so Sanfang became rich, "Where are my parents?"
Dong said: "I received the letter this afternoon and I'm already home."
When Chang Lian heard this, his parents left quickly, which meant that he didn't have to worry too much about Duke Ning's mansion. "What else did your parents say?"
Mrs. Dong replied, "My father-in-law didn't say anything, but my mother said a few words..."
Chang Lian knew clearly that what mother meant was what father meant. Keep a good attitude and don't be tricked. Now he wanted to see the thank you gift even more, "What are the thank you gifts?"
Dong said as he walked, and then said to Rong Chuan: "The gift list and thank you gift have been sent to your yard."
Rong Chuan was surprised, "And mine?"
He thought it was only Changlian's, but no matter what, they were all Zhou's carriages at that time.
Mrs. Dong didn't know how to answer and looked at her husband.
Chang Lian patted Rong Chuan on the shoulder, "We were together at that time."
And according to what he knew, Rong Chuan should have been given the thank you gift without him, but why only send him a thank you gift and not acknowledge Rong Chuan
Rong Chuan felt that he was stupid for asking, "I'm going back to the yard first."
Rong Chuan returned to the yard, picked up the gift list and became even more silent, and then opened the box. One box contained gold, which was so shiny that it really shocked people's hearts. The other box contained books, calligraphy and paintings.
Rong Chuan closed the box. Ning Guofu knew him very well. Since he knew that he liked silver and knew him so well, Ning Guofu showed no prejudice against him and instead valued him. In this case, why there was no movement at all. I really can't figure it out. .
However, Rong Chuan quickly put his worries behind him. If he had the time, he might as well think about how to buy a house for himself. The first thing was a house. He must buy a house.
In the palace, the emperor and Ning Xu sat opposite each other, "Did you really send a box of gold?"
Ning Xu, "... Yes."
All these silver coins came from the Duke of Ning's Mansion. Back then, ahem, my father was not an upright person. If he was really upright, he would not have been the first to support the emperor's rebellion. The Duke of Ning's Mansion really had money, and there was a lot of gold and silver in antiques, calligraphy and paintings. .
The emperor knew that Duke Ning Guo had money, and he was very satisfied with the money given to his son by Duke Ning. Speaking of which, the emperor looked at Ning Xu, who had been a spy for so many years, and said, "Your family is also rich."
Ning Xu laughed dryly. His family was indeed rich. After he came back from the dead and regained his identity, his father divided the family. The second brother got two-thirds of the property of the Duke of Guo, and he got one-third. In terms of money.
Not only that, but there was also mother's dowry and lifetime collection. The bulk was given to the queen, and the rest was divided into two, with him and his second brother each taking half.
In addition, he has been abroad for many years, and it is common for him to encounter bandits on the way to do business, especially outside the country. This is a common occurrence. He received a lot of money, and the emperor did not ask anything about it, which meant that he Well, if you think about it this way, his family fortune is more than substantial.
The emperor didn't want Ning Xu to answer. He quickly changed the subject as if he said it casually, "The news you checked is that the carriage was damaged outside?"
Ning Xu's expression became serious, "Yes, it was fine for the carriage to leave the Duke's Mansion. The carriage was damaged when Dad finished meeting friends and was parked outside."
The emperor sneered, "The Duke's itinerary is not a secret at all."
Out of respect and trust for the Duke's Mansion, he placed the fewest spies in the Duke's Mansion.
Ning Xu couldn't refute. Her mother was old and no longer interfered with the affairs of the Duke's mansion. She was now the second sister-in-law's housekeeper. The second sister-in-law was a good housekeeper, but the Duke's mansion was not small and the second sister-in-law did not dare to interfere with her parents' yard. , letting people take advantage of the loophole.
Your Majesty, "I trust your ability. Find these people for me."
No matter how luxuriant the branches are, he doesn't believe it. He cuts off all the branches and leaves only the main pole. How long can he hide!
Ning Xu grinned. He dared to attack his father. That's good. "I accept the order."
Just because he has returned to the capital to retire does not mean that his methods are soft.
In Jinzhou, a family had a reunion dinner. Before the dinner started, Chang Zhong gave gifts first.
Zhulan looked at Changzhi meaningfully, it must have been Changzhi's idea, otherwise, according to his son's temperament, Changzhong would have run to give gifts when Mingyun and others had finished school.
Chang Zhong took out the gifts and handed them to his nephews one by one. Chang Zhong handed out the gifts and puffed out his chest, "I brought you gifts when I went out. Do you all like them?"
Mingyun looked at the bamboo dragonfly in his hand. He had passed the age of curiosity. Fortunately, in order to control his brothers, he kept a cold face all year round and his heart was tangled. His face has not changed, "Thank you, uncle, I like it very much." "
Ming Teng thought that he was indeed the eldest brother, and his tone did not change. He just looked at the top in his hand tangledly. He had not played with it for many years. If he took it out, his friends would laugh to death. "Thank you, uncle."
Chang Zhong pursed his lips, "You don't like it."
Ming Teng felt the gaze from his grandfather, and his desire to survive was particularly strong. "No, uncle, you are wrong. I like it very much. I will perform it for you right now."
Chang Zhong bent his eyes, "Ah, you go ahead and play, I'll watch."
Mingrui looked at the frozen Ming Teng, playing with a spinning top in front of the whole family. He couldn't even pretend, "Uncle, I really like the gift you brought."
Chang Zhong said happily: "If you like it, I will bring it to you next time I go out."
Mingrui smiled, "Okay."
Minghui is young and likes all kinds of gifts. He thinks his little uncle is the best.
Zhulan couldn't help laughing when she saw Changzhong acting like he was the best uncle.
Ming Teng wanted to cry, but his uncle looked at him directly. He could only perform!
Changzhi was satisfied, and it was not in vain that his younger brother Yuteng gave him a gift during dinner.
The next day, at the Hanlin Academy in the capital, word had spread that Duke Ning Guo had been rescued. Who asked Lord Ning and Prince Ning to go to the Zhou Mansion to send a thank you gift without any hesitation.
Chang Lian felt a wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred as soon as he entered the room. No need to think about it, it must be Shen Yang.
He was helpless, why did Shen Yang compete with him!
Shen Yang thought about how Zhou Changlian and Zhang Rongchuan were walking back home the night before yesterday, and he was gloating about their misfortune, thinking that there was something wrong with their carriage.
Today, after he got the news, he only had endless regrets. If he had driven the Zhou family's carriage earlier, Duke Ning Guo would have been saved by him, and today he would be in the spotlight.
Jinzhou, Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shuren just went to the Yamen, Butler Ding came to the main courtyard with a letter, "Mother, it's an urgent letter."
Zhulan took it over and took a look at Zhao Bo's letter. It turns out that Zhao Bo borrowed a lot of money from the Zhou family!
