Mingrui whispered: "I saw my elder brother smiling just now."
Ming Teng sat up straight at once, staring at his elder brother without blinking, his face still cold, "You are wrong."
Mingrui couldn't be mistaken. The eldest brother really smiled and pulled Minghui to confirm, "Did you see it too?"
Minghui nodded, "I saw it, brother really smiled."
It's better not to smile. I'm used to seeing him with a straight face. It's scary to see my elder brother smile suddenly!
Ming Teng felt as if he had lost a hundred taels. It was a pity that he had missed it. Then he remembered Ming Rui's painting, which was the best among the brothers. "You can draw it and show it to me."
After saying that, Ming Teng felt a little cold on his back.
Mingrui glanced at his elder brother, he didn't dare, he didn't dare, he didn't want to be stared at by his elder brother while studying, it would be too painful!
Ming Yun, "Second brother, what did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything!"
Minghui pouted, the second brother is too cowardly!
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren also had smiles in their eyes. Zhulan looked at the family chatting and laughing, "That's just right."
Zhou Shuren took his wife's hand under the table and said, "Yes."
Changzhong's old son was sitting next to his father and mother. He saw them holding hands at a glance. Changzhong stretched out his fat paw and said, "Mom, don't just hold father's hand. My son wants it too."
Suddenly there was silence. Boss Zhou and others looked at each other and saw that their father was already using chopsticks. They all picked up chopsticks and lowered their heads to eat.
Zhulan felt that she was thick-skinned enough and thought that she would not change her face in basically anything she faced, but now her face turned red. This was true!
Changzhong felt his mother's gaze, and quickly lowered his head to eat the food in the bowl, silently thinking in his heart, mother, stop staring at me, stop staring.
Zhou Shuren's old face also turned red, and he let go of his hand, "Eat."
Fortunately, Zhulan was relatively calm and soon returned to normal. The children didn't dare to say anything anyway!
The next day, Zhou Shuren did not visit anyone, Mr. Wang did not take a break, and there was no need for Zhou Shuren to visit Ran Zheng's friend. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue basically stayed at the Ministry of Revenue during these days and did not go home.
One morning, a letter was sent to Zhou Shuren!
Zhulan saw that Zhou Shuren was as wilted as a dehydrated vegetable after reading the letter. She picked up the letter and read it quickly. She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. Everything hurt her heart, so she could only remain silent. Zhou Shuren felt a little wet. s hair.
I've been sweating so much all morning!
Zhou Shuren let out a long sigh, "I threw myself into a trap, showed off, and cheated my own example!"
"Um."
"Look at the words in the letter. It's a pity that I can only take office in six days, and it said that the Ministry of Finance welcomes me!"
"Um."
"They also said that the former Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Mr. Zhong Ji, was so happy that he cried when he left the Ministry of Finance!"
Bamboo orchid, "......"
I am indeed very happy. Although the tone is flat, the meaning of the Ministry of Personnel being the first of the six departments is different. In addition, when the national treasury is short of money, I jumped out of the pit. It is not an exaggeration to shed tears!
Zhou Shuren, "Zhong Ji saved his hair!"
Zhulan, "...be serious."
Zhou Shuren sat up straight, but his whole body was still full of resistance, "There are still six days left, I guess I will be in the household department!"
Zhulan took the fan to fan Zhou Shuren, hoping to cool down Zhou Shuren, and then moved the ice basin in front of Zhou Shuren!
Zhou Shuren, "......"
He’s really not that hot, wife, you don’t have to be like this, okay, it’s still very comfortable!
Zhulan didn't dare to interfere in the affairs of the household department. There were many people from the emperor in this family. Look, Mrs. Song came back just after leaving for a while, "Mother, Mrs. Sun is here to visit."
Zhulan wanted to meet him, "You bring someone over, I'll be there in a minute."
Mrs. Song, "Yes."
Zhulan gave the fan to Zhou Shuren, "Fan yourself."
Zhou Shuren groaned and took the fan to fan himself. Although he felt that he had jumped into a big pit, he still had to think of a way. The easiest way was to turn it into gold. He was not the God of Wealth. He frowned and tried hard to think of a way. It’s hard to think about it, Hubu is not a place, Hubu involves too much!
Zhou Shuren decided not to think about it anymore. He would wait until he takes office. How much money is left in the Ministry of Revenue and the specific situation will have to be seen. Moreover, there is also a Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!
When Zhulan met Sun, Sun became more respectful and said, "I have met a lady."
This time Sun came by herself. Zhulan smiled and said, "Sit down quickly. I've been talking about you in the morning!"
Mrs. Sun was very happy to hear this, indicating that the Zhou family still valued her husband very much, "Lao Shuren is thinking about me."
Zhulan asked, "Why didn't you bring Deng Li here with you today?"
Mrs. Sun is very attentive to her stepdaughter. She has experienced a divorce and has a deeper understanding of women. She hopes that her stepdaughter will be well, which is good for everyone in the Deng family. "I hired a well-behaved mother-in-law and an embroiderer." , she learns rules and female celebrities at home.”
Zhulan understood, but Sun still wanted to use rules and female celebrities to temper Deng Li's temper, "You are careful."
Sun said modestly, "This is what I, a mother, should do."
The stepdaughter's mother didn't teach her well, so she could only learn slowly. Fortunately, Deng Li knew it was for her own good, so she studied hard and never lost her temper.
Mrs. Sun continued: "In a few days, I would like to find a teacher to teach Li'er."
Zhulan secretly thought, Sun is a really smart person. She is satisfied with her husband and is good for her stepdaughter's future. She has also gained a good reputation, and for long-term considerations, educating Deng Li well will help the Deng family. It would be stupid to let it go. , it will only cause trouble in the future.
Mrs. Sun just came for a visit, sat there for a while and then went back.
Zhulan gave some gifts. Although they were not expensive, they were rare.
After Sun left, Dong came to see Zhulan.
Zhulan took a look and asked, "Want to chat with me?"
Mrs. Dong nodded, "My daughter-in-law hasn't seen my mother for a long time. I was busy yesterday and had many things to say to my mother. She also has to hand over the account books for the expenses in the capital to my mother."
The expenses in the capital, the servants' monthly allowance, food, etc. are all paid out of the family's account. My mother-in-law left some money when she left, and there is still some money left.
Zhulan signaled Mrs. Song to take the account book and send it to Xuehan, and then said: "I won't read it."
This housekeeper, Zhulan thought, should be left in charge of some daughters-in-law.
Mr. Dong has always been good, and Ms. Su Xuan is even better in good hands. Mr. Zhao is also good at managing his own yard. Although Ms. Li is a bit behind, the general direction is fine.
Mrs. Dong saw her mother-in-law deep in thought, "Mother?"
Zhulan came to her senses, "I remember you wrote in your letter a few days ago that Shen Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy is selling his house?"
Mrs. Dong often heard her husband talk about Shen Shujishi, and her tone was a little unhappy, "He often provoked my husband in the Hanlin Academy. It wasn't until something happened to his distant relative that he stopped. I don't know if it was bad luck or something, but my husband said It seems that something happened to the Shen family, and the house in Beijing had to be sold, and this person is asking my husband if he wants to buy it! "
The three of them really want to buy a house and buy real estate, but they won't sell their opponent's house!
Zhulan's mind turned around twice. Why did this feel like a misfortune
