Deng Xiucai came in and sat down after the ceremony. Zhou Shuren knew why Deng Xiucai came. Now he must be staring at the real and fake prince. This is the time when the child is changing. The real and fake prince was revealed, and many problems were revealed.
Deng Xiucai came here today to seek peace of mind.
Zhou Shuren put down the bowl in his hand, "I know your purpose clearly, and this matter will not affect me."
Deng Xiucai was waiting for this sentence. His wealth and life belonged to the Zhou family, and he was afraid that the adults would get involved. "I understand."
Zhulan asked, "Can I have breakfast?"
Deng Xiucai wanted to say that he had used it, but his stomach growled. He tossed and turned all night without rest. He got up before dawn and lined up to leave the city. He said awkwardly: "I haven't eaten yet."
Zhulan motioned the girl to go to the kitchen and brought the steamed buns and porridge over again, adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Let's use them here."
Deng Xiucai was embarrassed and said, "Thank you, Shuren."
Zhou Shuren had almost finished eating and asked, "How is the situation in the capital?"
Deng Xiucai replied, "I didn't dare to inquire more. I just know that we are waiting for the palace's reaction."
Zhou Shuren left the capital, he was no longer in the whirlpool, and his mind was very clear. Now he was in a bystander position. He knew in his heart that the emperor would not be led around. The conclusion of Shen Yang's life experience was not waiting for him, "Don't do it after you return to the capital." Ask for any information and live your life.”
Deng Xiucai had been living in the capital for many years and knew how to survive, so he "note it down."
In the capital, the court meeting has ended long ago. Yao Wenqi has not waited for the result, and his heart is heavy. He has studied the emperor for many years, and he no longer dares to say that the emperor has not taken any action to investigate Shen Yang cautiously. He is worried whether the emperor knows that Shen Yang is fake
Yao Wenqi kept comforting herself. The mother-in-law replied that the child was strangled to death in the palace, taken out of the palace and buried. The real fifth prince was dead and would not leave any hidden dangers.
He believed that the mother-in-law did not dare to lie, and the whole family was in his hands. In order to solve the future problems, he watched the mother-in-law take poison and die with his own eyes.
Yao Wenqi kept saying in her heart that the emperor was suspicious by nature, and he took the initiative to reveal Shen Yang's identity. It was right for the emperor to be suspicious, so he comforted himself in his heart.
But I was still very depressed. Shen Yang should have recognized it smoothly, but something went wrong. What a good move!
In Ning Guo Gong's Mansion, Ning Guo Gong closed his eyes and listened to his two sons talking. When the two sons stopped talking, he opened his eyes and asked, "Do you two think the prince can successfully succeed to the throne?"
For so many years, Duke Ning's government has kept a low profile, also because the prince no longer needs the influence of his grandfather's family, and too much influence is not good.
The other princes' ancestral families were high-profile, and they really thought that the emperor knew nothing. Ning Guogong watched the emperor grow up.
Ning Xu was stunned. When he came back, his father didn't tell him much about the crown prince. Today he actually proposed the throne, "Dad, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Ning Guogong's eyes were full of smiles, "I just understand more and more, so I asked."
These days, he has been thinking about the emperor's behavior towards the prince and the movements in the harem. He rarely sees his daughter, but he has a tacit understanding with her. The more stable the daughter is, the more it means that the emperor has never been disappointed in the prince.
In addition, the emperor agreed to Rong Chuan's surname change, which actually explained some problems. The emperor's most protective heart is the prince, who is the inheritor of the country. Even if there are hidden dangers now, his eyes are very clear.
Ning Xu's heart moved. His father also taught the emperor back then. Regardless of his military commander father, he and his eldest brother were both shrewd and obedient. "Dad, my son understands."
It would be a lie to say that I am not excited. Since ancient times, it has been rare for a prince to successfully ascend the throne. Most of them were either deposed or forced into a hurry.
Why wasn't he worried? He looked at his second brother out of the corner of his eye. Duke Ningguo's palace didn't need a shrewd mistress, and the emperor would be afraid of her. Although his eldest nephew was not very talented, he looked just right.
Ning Guogong, "You two brothers should be aware of this. You must guard the Duke's mansion in the future."
The two brothers understood, "Yes."
In Zhuangzi, Zhou family, Mrs. Li came to see her mother-in-law and told her about her plans to buy land and a shop. Zhulan said, "What a coincidence, Deng Xiucai is in Zhuangzi."
Mrs. Li put the money she could take out in front of her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, I also want you to find some good wood."
Zhulan said: "You don't need to prepare the wood for the dowry. I will prepare the materials for the girls at home."
Li's heart was pounding, "Mom, we have many girls in our family, and you are going to need a lot of money."
Especially since the dowry was all made of expensive wood, I quickly calculated the accounts in my mind and took a deep breath.
Zhulan smiled and said, "I had already planned it. The Xu family has been running overseas business. I asked the Xu family to help find wood and bring it back. Bringing it a little at a time will add up to enough for Yushuang and several others to marry."
She even prepared for her granddaughter Jiang Miao, not to mention her only granddaughter, she really cared about it, and she would prepare it for Jiang Miao if the Yushuang family had some.
Ms. Li was still embarrassed, "Mom, actually we still have money for the wood."
Zhulan knew in her heart that except for the fourth house, the other houses were under great pressure. Guang Yulu's dowry for the eldest house was a big problem. She and Zhou Shuren were fine. urgent.
So after discussing with Zhou Shuren, she decided to share more of the dowry for her granddaughters.
In Zhoujiacun, Jiang Miao sat next to her mother, "Mom, how long has the eldest brother been gone? Where is he now?"
Xuemei has been thinking about her son since she left, "My mother doesn't know either."
Jiang Miao hooked the handkerchief with her fingertips and lowered her head without saying a word. She envied her eldest brother for being able to go to the capital. She also wanted to go. She was not doing it for wealth, but because she missed her grandparents. She looked down at the bracelet on her hand. It was all prepared by her grandma.
Every year, her grandmother prepares jewelry for her. If her cousin has it, she also has it.
Xuemei noticed her daughter's little movements, "You also want to go to the capital?"
Jiang Miao didn't want to lie, "Well, my daughter misses her grandparents."
Xuemei held her daughter's hand and said, "When mother has time, she will take you there."
Jiang Miao leaned on her mother's shoulder, "Mom, is it really going to take a few years for eldest brother to come back?"
"Well, your eldest brother will not come back until he takes the exam."
Jiang Miao took her mother's hand and asked, "Mom, what about eldest brother's marriage?"
Xuemei bent her eyes, "Your grandparents are here."
Jiang Miao felt that the Dong family would not come to the house because of their grandparents' control. These days, the Dong family came to the house every day.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Miao heard her grandmother's reluctant voice and looked at her mother, "Come on, the Dong family is here."
Zhoujiazhuangzi, Zhulan and other Shuren finished talking to Deng Xiucai before meeting Deng Xiucai and handed the money to Deng Xiucai, "Land is the main thing. If there is a shop for sale, buy it. If there is none, forget it."
The capital was only so big in total, and so many powerful people were watching over it. The Zhou family could only buy the shops in their hands because of someone who secretly helped them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to buy many of them.
Deng Xiucai was in a dilemma at first, but after hearing these words, he knew better.
