Zhang Jinghong had a lot of inner drama. Ever since he received the emperor's order, he wanted to curse. Why should he be asked to investigate Sun Liao? "Ah, this prince is not here to see you, sir."
Zhou Shuren, "... Huh?"
Then why did you call me? I am in a hurry to go home for dinner, but his son and wife are still waiting for him!
Zhang Jinghong laughed dryly. He couldn't say he was hiding from people, so he coughed and said, "I walked to the door of the household unknowingly. It happened that Sir Zhou was the first to come out, so I called Sir."
Zhou Shuren, "... I am anxious to go home."
So I’ll take my leave now. Goodbye!
Zhang Jinghong saw Zhou Shuren turn around and leave after the courtesy. He opened his mouth and then closed it. He didn't want to offend Mr. Zhou. He didn't have the confidence now. He saw officials from the Ministry of Revenue coming out one after another. He sighed and got back on the carriage.
The guard said: "Your Highness, are you going back to your residence?"
Zhang Jinghong sneered, "I won't reply."
He hid immediately after leaving the palace. At this time, everyone should know that he was responsible for checking Sun Liao. They were probably waiting for him at the house. He went back to the house after being stupid.
The guard paused and asked, "Where do you plan to go, Your Highness?"
"In the Prince's Mansion, my brother is banned. I am the younger brother. How can I not go and take a look."
By the way, Lai stayed at the Prince's Mansion. Anyway, he wouldn't have returned to the Mansion.
Wei Wei, "... ... yes."
In Zhou Mansion, Chang Zhong was very happy to see his father, "Mother did not lie to her son, father really came back to live."
Zhulan explained: "This kid didn't see you when he got up in the morning. He thought I was teasing him again. In the afternoon, he has been waiting for you to come back in the front yard."
Zhou Shuren took his fat son's hand and said, "These days are too busy. He misses me. Now that the household department has money, he is not so busy. He can go home and live in the future."
Chang Zhong held his father's hand tightly and said, "Dad, tonight's dishes are all your favorites, and my son ordered them."
He looked like he was begging for praise, his little head raised.
Zhou Shuren touched his son's little face and said, "Okay, daddy will eat more tonight. This is Chang Zhong's filial piety."
Zhulan watched her son drag Zhou Shuren to eat, and stopped him: "Your father's clothes have been worn all day, so change your clothes first before going to eat."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I took my son to change clothes."
Zhulan smiled, "Okay."
After dinner, Zhou Shuren saw that Chang Lian and Rong Chuan had not left. Knowing why, he put his hands behind his back and said, "Go to the study and talk."
Chang Lian and Rong Chuan looked at each other and hurriedly raised their heels.
In the study, Zhou Shuren sat down and motioned for his son and Rong Chuan to sit down too, and then asked Jin Yan to bring over a pot of tea. He ate too much meat tonight and his mouth felt a little greasy.
Chang Lian endured it and waited for the tea to come up and said, "Dad, my son heard about the morning court."
Rong Chuan is the most worried. He sees the prince quite frequently and he is very close to the prince. After hearing the news today, he has not been able to calm down all day.
Zhou Shuren looked at his son and then at Rong Chuan. The two of them were still too young, and he was not prepared to say more, "This is a matter of the Tianjia family. We are all outsiders. The Tianjia matter can be solved by ourselves. All we can do is Take care of yourself and take care of yourself.”
After a pause, he continued: "No matter who comes to you in the future, you must keep your mouth shut. The Zhou family does not take sides and is only loyal to the emperor. Especially you, Chang Lian, you are my only son who has entered the official career. , If someone tries to win over you in the future, if you dare to have evil thoughts, see how I deal with you."
Chang Lian wished he could raise his hand and swear, "Father, my son doesn't dare now, and he won't dare in the future. My son follows your example and is absolutely loyal to the emperor."
However, with his father's words today, his uneasiness was completely gone.
Rong Chuan endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back, "Uncle, will the prince be okay?"
Zhou Shuren touched the bottom of the tea cup with his fingertips. After all, they were blood brothers. Even if they met several times, even if they didn't recognize each other, blood relations could not be deceived. Rong Chuan was really worried about the prince. He thought about it and said, "I just said it, This is the Tian family’s own business, and nothing will happen to the prince.”
If he hadn't been concerned about Rong Chuan's life experience, he would have said more, but now he could only answer vaguely.
In Rong Chuan's opinion, his uncle was the most powerful person. When his uncle said it was okay, he felt relieved.
In the Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince sat on the main seat and watched Zhang Jinghong sip wine and food, "The Fifth Prince's Mansion is so poor that there is no food to eat? How could I remember that the salary in the Prince's Mansion is not low?"
Zhang Jinghong used to be very particular about people, but now he is too tacky, as if he has never seen good things before, and he has to eat them all to feel at ease.
Zhang Jinghong drained the wine in the cup, "Good wine, Prince. I want to save a way for the future. This money is indispensable. Now the Fifth Prince's Mansion has saved all except necessary expenses. I haven't eaten like this for a long time." Exquisite meals.”
He had saved all the good wine in his house. If he didn't save his money now, he would not have the opportunity to touch the tributes in the future.
The prince smiled, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to take away the wealth you have saved?"
Zhang Jinghong said happily, "I was very afraid, so I begged the emperor early, and the emperor allowed me to take away the money I just earned."
What I collected in the past cannot be taken away, but what I have saved can be taken away.
Although the prince felt that the current Zhang Jinghong was very pleasing to the eye, he looked at the hour and said, "It's getting late, you can go."
Zhang Jinghong wilts, "Prince, I can't go back to my house, so I'm all stuck in the house waiting for you!"
Now he couldn't afford to offend anyone, and he didn't have enough confidence. If he was the real fifth prince, why would he hide everywhere? He would have fought back long ago.
Zhang Jingchen narrowed his eyes, "You can't stay in the Prince's Mansion, but I can show you where to go."
Zhang Jinghong, "Ningguo Duke's Mansion?"
He also thought about it, but he didn't dare to go to Duke Ning's mansion. Duke Ning's mansion had kept a low profile for many years, and now that the prince was punished, he couldn't come easily.
Zhang Jingchen pointed out, "If you have a good relationship with a concubine from the Hanlin Academy, his home is a good place to go."
Zhang Jinghong was stunned. The only one who had a good relationship with him in the Hanlin Academy was Shen Yang. The emperor asked him to contact Shen Yang. He arranged several chance encounters and set up a few conversations. He was a little confused. Shen Yang also He was a little more naive now. If the emperor hadn't let him get in touch, he wouldn't have bothered to deal with it. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Shen Yang for some days.
Zhang Jingchen stood up and said, "How is it? Is it a good place?"
Zhang Jinghong's heart trembled. The prince looked so much like the emperor now. He really deserved to be brought up by the emperor. He had always doubted the emperor and the prince, but now he looked at the prince's appearance and remained silent. It would be better for him to be more honest, " It’s a great place indeed.”
"Well, you can go."
Zhang Jinghong has been here for more than an hour, which has delayed him too much.
Zhang Jinghong felt a strong sense of disgust and dared not say a word, "Yes."
At the Fifth Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince's people reported: "The Fifth Prince went to the Prince's Mansion and did not come back after leaving. He has arrived at a small courtyard in the North City."
Zhang Jingyang not only got angry after waiting, but was also attacked by the third and fourth elders. Zhang Jinghong ate and drank everything he had these days, but he avoided him when he left the palace. He gritted his teeth and said, "Beicheng, he knows how to find a place."
