The prince was speechless, pressing his forehead. He hadn't rested the whole night and now had a headache. "Keep watching. Keep a close eye on anyone who comes into contact with you."
Guard: "Yes."
The prince and others went out and drank two cups of strong tea, which made their minds much clearer. This time the cleanup must be thorough, otherwise, there will be endless troubles. Thinking of Rong Chuan who had been replaced, these people had just started to make plans in the early days of the Jianchao period, so they were not shocked by Sun Liao's matter.
However, the prince's eyes were gloomy, these people wanted to pull him down. He was the prince and had only one way to ascend to the throne. Some people wanted to block his way. The prince closed his eyes. He was not in a hurry. His father had the patience to wait, and he also had patience.
Inside the palace, the emperor received the list and said, "Good, very good."
It was great that the son he protected under his wings was plotted against in this way.
Eunuch Liu shrank his neck. The emperor was clearly in a particularly good mood after Lord Zhou left. Now, he didn't want to stay in the palace.
The emperor had a gloomy face and said, "Announce Ningxu to enter the palace."
"yes."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. This matter had to be handed over to Ning Xu. Currently, he was just like the prince, suspicious of everyone. Ning Xu was the one he trusted the most.
At Zhou's house, Zhulan returned to the house and the housekeeper handed her the letter. "Madam, this is a letter from Jinzhou."
Zhulan took the letters, both from Mrs. Tao and Wu Ning, and sat down to read them with a smile. Mrs. Tao's letter was full of family matters, the only point being that Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with Yu Lu. Mrs. Tao was very happy and felt that she had good taste.
Wu Ning's letter was also about family matters. The Zhou family had been in Beijing for some time, and the child was worried about them, so he wrote a letter to inquire about them.
Zhulan said to Mrs. Song, "This girl was not raised in vain."
Mrs. Song said, "You treat Miss Wu like your own daughter, so Miss Wu is naturally grateful."
Zhulan stood up and went into the house to change clothes. As she walked, she said, "I don't want anything from her. As long as she lives her life well, I'll be at ease."
Mrs. Song felt emotional in her heart that both the mistress and the master were not only kind-hearted but also the softest-hearted. Over the years, the Zhou family had never treated the children of the Wu family or the son of Mr. Deng badly.
Mrs. Song felt that she was blessed, especially in her later years. Her days in the Zhou Mansion were the most comfortable days for her.
Zhulan changed her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the bronze mirror. In fact, there were glass mirrors, which had existed in the previous dynasty, but they were too expensive, so Zhulan had never been willing to buy one. However, the ancient bronze mirrors were also not bad.
Mrs. Song took off her hair bun neatly. Zhulan said, "At home, just comb your hair simply."
I wore too many head accessories today and now my scalp hurts.
Zhulan added: "It's been a while since the boss and Changzhi left, and I don't know if they have returned to their hometown."
He left before Zhou Shuren took office, and it has been some time since he took office.
Mrs. Song calculated the time and said, "It will take some time."
Zhulan, "Yes, yes, and Changyi, he should have already left for Beijing."
At the gate of Lizhou City, Yang Wuchun personally escorted his cousin back to Beijing. He watched the motorcade and reminded them, "Be careful on the way."
Chang Yi smiled and said, "Cousin, I have traveled to many places over the years. Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Yang Wuchun, "Go back and say hello to my uncle and aunt for me. It's a pity that I can't leave Lizhou City, otherwise I should really go to Beijing with you."
"It is my duty as your eldest cousin. It is getting late. My younger brother has already left. You should go back earlier as well."
Yang Wuchun felt a little reluctant. The Yang family still had too few relatives in Lizhou. His second uncle's family was not in Lizhou City. His parents hadn't been so happy for a long time. "Take care on your journey."
Chang Yi got on the carriage and was finally able to return to Beijing. He was now anxious to go home, his eyes fixed on the account book. He did not return empty-handed during this visit to Lizhou, as he had purchased a lot of leather and wood. His father had become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so his daughter's dowry could not be vague. The higher the position, the more important the daughter's dowry would be, as it was also the face of the Zhou family.
He didn't want his daughter to get married and be disliked by her in-laws for not having a big dowry, and to say that the Zhou family was poor, so he spent all the money he brought with him, except for buying gifts for his parents and leaving some money for the return trip.
Chang Yi was thinking, with the money coming in in the autumn, he would buy some more shops in the capital. And then there was his son. His son was ambitious, but he also needed to find a wife. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that the burden he had was not light.
In the capital, Zhulan already knew that Zhou Shuren would not be back at night. This time she did not tease her son but told him directly.
Changzhong pursed his lips and said, "Mom, Dad has worked so hard."
Zhulan smiled and said, "You still know how hard it is?"
"My son knows. My eldest nephew said that Daddy has to support the entire Zhou family, so Daddy is so busy. He said that Daddy is very hard-working."
Zhulan touched her son's long hair and said, "So you have to grow up quickly."
"Well, my son will try his best."
"Chang Zhong is really sensible."
Zhulan felt sad that the environment had a huge impact on children. When they were in Jinzhou, Changzhong didn't want to share the burden with his father. After moving to Beijing, Mingyun and the others were under great pressure and worked harder, so Changzhong understood a lot at a young age.
After a while, Li and the others came over. Zhulan looked at Li and asked, "Why do I feel like you have lost a lot of weight?"
Li blinked her eyes and said, "Mom, you are not mistaken. My daughter-in-law has indeed lost weight."
Since she started to be the housekeeper this month, she has not only lost weight, but also lost her hair. She used to be heartless, but now she has to manage everyone in the Zhou residence as soon as she opens her eyes. At night, she dreams of settling accounts. She can't even enjoy her meals these days.
Zhao saw that her sister-in-law couldn't smile cheerfully and felt a little worried because she would be the housekeeper next month.
Zhulan paused and said, "Well, being thinner is also good."
Li couldn't believe it. Her mother-in-law had clearly said that being fat is a blessing. "Mom."
Zhulan changed the subject, "You also serve as the housekeeper for a few days, how do you feel?"
Li was like an eggplant hit by frost, and her spirit was gone again. "Today, my daughter-in-law realized how difficult it is for my sister to be the manager. I was so busy at the beginning, and now I can't get it right."
Su Xuan thought to herself that this was because the Zhou family was honest, otherwise, it would be even more difficult to be a housekeeper.
Zhulan couldn't help Li with anything, the housekeeper needed Li to do it herself, "Just wait until you get used to it."
Seeing that her brothers and sisters were all looking at her, Li perked up again and silently said to herself, she is the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law, "Yes."
At the Second Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jinghong was enjoying the Hongmen Banquet. He ate the delicious food and wine without any burden. "Second brother, it's not easy for you to be willing to give out this wine."
He thought about it for a long time but never got to drink it.
Zhang Jingyang snorted, "I know my brother treats you well."
Zhang Jinghong smiled and said, "I have always known that the Second Prince is good to his younger brother."
Bah, who doesn’t know who.
