Xuehan said: "Mom, will the Liu family come to your door?"
Miss Liu fell badly, and the girl supported her when she walked.
Zhulan thought about the Liu family. Miss Liu's father was a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel. Officials in the Ministry of Personnel were used to being arrogant, and their family members became arrogant too. Zhou Shuren almost joined the Ministry of Personnel. Mr. Liu's family was quite powerful in the capital, and Mr. Liu wanted to be promoted to minister. , Zhou Shuren's arrival in Beijing was aroused, and he became famous in the Liu family.
This also resulted in the fact that when she attended a banquet and met Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu treated her with a nose that was not her nose or her face. When her daughter met Miss Liu, Miss Liu also found a lot of trouble.
Zhulan said: "The Liu family probably won't come to the door. They will just write it down and retrieve it later."
Xue Han breathed a sigh of relief, "Humph, anyway, Miss Liu keeps picking on me, so I'm not afraid of her."
Zhulan told her daughter, "You'd better be careful."
She did not underestimate the scheming of these ladies at all. Miss Liu suffered a big loss this time, but she did not bear her grudge against Xue Han.
Xuehan kept it in mind, and then said, "Mom, Yushuang should not go to the banquet these days."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Go, why not go, we don't have any shady intentions."
Xue Han thought about it, and the more he concealed it, the more he thought Zhou Fu was guilty, "Mom, let's go back and change clothes, and come over for dinner later."
"Okay, go ahead."
In the household department, Zhou Shuren sent away Liu Langzhong who had sneaked over. Qiu Yan sneered, "This is the time when the prince has returned to the palace. The officials immediately asked for the silver certificate back."
Zhou Shuren said, "It seems that the prince's visit to the official department has frightened the entire official department."
Qiu Yan paused and said, "Who says it's not the case? It was too sudden and I missed it."
He could guess that the officials from the Ministry of Personnel were confused when they saw the prince, but it was a pity that they couldn't watch the show. He was not afraid at all that the prince would come to the Ministry of Accounts, which dealt with money and had very clear accounts.
Well, the main reason is that the household department has been short of money, and every amount of money is too clear.
Zhou Shuren thought about the officials in the Ministry of Personnel and secretly thought that it was a pity that now was not the time. The emperor would probably leave it to the prince. Anyway, in the eyes of the emperor, no matter how much corruption and bribery he took, it would go into the national treasury when the house was ransacked. It was really not in a hurry to finish it all at once. .
In the palace, the emperor asked the prince, "Did you find anything?"
The prince played with the jade pendant, "I discovered a lot. The money just allocated to the staff is gone. I looked through the official assessments in the past few years and found that the assessments were very lax. Father, I brought them back." The official promotion records of the Ministry of Personnel for more than ten years will be verified with the list in hand. "
He was very dissatisfied with the Ministry of Personnel. When he suddenly arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, most of the officials were still drinking tea and chatting, very leisurely.
Your Majesty, "Well, I'll leave it to you to verify."
"yes."
The emperor continued: "These days, you don't have to enter the palace."
"Yes, I understand."
He was also worried about this acting. He was really afraid of a gap between him and his father. He told himself over and over again that it was all fake, but he also warned himself that he needed his father's trust, and he didn't dare to take a wrong step.
In the Hanlin Academy, it was rare for Chang Lian to see Shi Qing cheerful all day long. He couldn't hide the smile on his face. He endured it all morning and finally found a chance to come over and ask, "But what's the happy event?"
Shi Qing touched his face, "Is it obvious?"
"Exceptionally obvious."
Shi Qing grinned, "I'm going to be a father."
He got married late, and not long after they got married, his wife became pregnant. How could he be unhappy
Chang Lian was happy for his friend, "Congratulations."
Shi Qing smiled and said, "Thank you."
When Chang Lian saw someone coming, he turned around and left.
In the evening, when Chang Lian returned home, he shared the good news with his mother. Zhu Lan thought too much and did not feel happy about the problem of the Yao Hou Mansion. Can Miss Yao Er really give birth to a child
Chang Lian saw that there was no smile on his mother's face, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Zhulan came back to her senses, "It's okay, I just feel a little emotional. Life flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, I got married and had children."
Chang Lian didn't think much about it, "My son is very happy to see Shi Qing. He has been looking forward to having a child with a blood connection, and now he has got his wish."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Go and change quickly. Your father will come back later to prepare dinner."
"yes."
Zhulan waited for Changlian to go out, thinking about Yaohou Mansion. Although she rarely went out, Zhou Shuren would tell her about the situation between Yaohou Mansion and the capital. She knew a lot. Miss Yao Er married Shi Qing and had no children. The child is still safe, and now that she is pregnant, it is better that the child is a girl, but if it is a boy.
Zhulan frowned. She was really thinking far ahead. She had no idea whether she would be able to give birth smoothly now.
After dinner in the evening, Zhulan asked Zhou Shuren to listen. Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said, "Let's not worry about it. This is Shi Qing's own business."
Zhulan, "I didn't want to care about it, I just felt a little emotional."
Second Miss Yao is really good, but it's a pity that she was born in Yaohou Mansion, so she would marry Shi Qing, otherwise, she would have no future in the rest of her life.
Zhou Shuren rubbed his shoulders, "The capital will not be stable in the future. Our family can only take care of ourselves. Please pay more attention and try not to get involved."
Zhulan asked, "What did you find?"
Zhou Shuren whispered: "The first of the six departments the prince went to was the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel records all official information and promotion assessments. It can be seen that Sun Liao's incident broke out and there were many problematic officials in the court. We You don’t know anything about these officials, so you need to pay more attention to the official family members who come and go, so as not to involve the Zhou family. "
Zhulan's heart tightened. It was really difficult to tell whether this official was a human or a ghost. "I will be careful. It seems that Yushuang's marriage should be more careful."
Zhou Shuren said, “Yushuang’s marriage is not urgent.”
"Um."
The next day, early in the morning, Zhulan received two posts, one was from Duke Ningguo's mansion, and the other was a greeting from Lord Shen.
Zhulan looked at Ning Guogong's post. The Duke's palace rarely held banquets, and said to Mrs. Song, "Go and find out who Ning Guogong's palace has invited."
After Mrs. Song was ordered to go out, Zhulan picked up the greeting card from County Master Shen. County Master Shen actually came to the door. Zhulan was a little confused. At this time, shouldn't County Master Shen keep her son close to her and not leave the house easily
At the Duke Ning's Mansion, Mrs. Yu approached her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, why do you suddenly want to hold a flower banquet?"
She had been married to the Duke's Palace for so many years, and the Palace held many banquets. She suddenly had a flower banquet, and she was a little confused as to what her mother-in-law was thinking.
Can Mrs. Prince say it was her husband's intention? She couldn't say. She didn't understand why he wanted the Duke's Mansion to hold a flower banquet. However, she could confirm that it must have been his father-in-law's request.
Mrs. Shizi looked at the second daughter-in-law who was inquiring about the news. In fact, she preferred the eldest daughter-in-law to the two daughters-in-law. It was just that she owed the second daughter-in-law more, so she indulged the second daughter-in-law. Recently, the eldest daughter-in-law has been accompanying her all the time. This As time passed, the comparison between the two daughters-in-law became more obvious, "You have time to find out information from me, why not go back and take care of Zhixiang."
She had been thinking about her youngest son's appointment with a doctor in the past two days. Seeing that he didn't look worried, Mrs. Yu felt even more dissatisfied.
