At Zhou's house in the evening, Rong Chuan didn't think about going home and complaining to his father, and his father couldn't control the household department. After thinking about it, he decided to tell his uncle about it.
Rong Chuan ate, chatted with Xue Han for a while while stepping on the snow, and went home satisfied.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Zhang Yang is really capable."
Zhulan was unhappy. As a mother, who wants her daughter to share her husband with someone else? "There are so many crooked ideas."
Zhou Shuren held a hand warmer and said, "So it's time to let him calm down. Just in time, he thinks settling accounts is boring, so I'll give him another job."
Zhulan was curious, "What kind of job?"
"The warehouse of the Household Department and the Punishment Department is not enough, so I applied for another place. It hasn't been cleaned up yet. I think I can let Zhang Yang keep an eye on it, what do you think?"
Zhulan chuckled, Zhou Shuren would not let Zhang Yang enjoy it in this cold weather, "I think it's good, it can make people calm down."
Zhou Shuren also thinks it's good. It will take a few days to repair the courtyard with ventilation on all sides. "I will take a bath the day after tomorrow. I have made an appointment with Mr. Lei. Have you found a matchmaker here?"
Zhulan said: "We have already found him, Mr. Gao."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Just make your choice."
The next day, Zhang Yang stood in the yard and looked at the dilapidated yard. The paper on the windows was gone. The whole yard was empty, and there was not even a place to keep warm.
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth. Zhou Shuren must have done it on purpose. Today's cold wind was still very cold. He shivered and called the boy, "Go prepare a charcoal fire and some thick clothes."
After the boy left, Zhang Yang was walking back and forth. He was tricked by Zhou Shuren again. Why didn't he have a long memory and jumped into the pit by himself
It is easy to find out what Zhang Yang did yesterday.
The second prince, Zhang Jingyang, curled his lips, "My wings haven't even grown yet, so I'm going to pick off the fur of an old fox, especially a petty old fox."
However, this incident also made Zhang Jingyang realize that no matter how stupid a person is, they will grow up and gradually gain scheming. Only now, he has dared to sow discord between the Ning family and the Zhou family.
Zhang Jingyang had thought about it before, but then he thought about it. The involvement between Rong Chuan and the Zhou family was too deep, and he didn't dare to take action without being completely sure.
The next day, Zhou Shuren had a rest day and went out early to the teahouse he had agreed on. When he arrived, Chief Lei had already arrived.
Zhou Shuren, "You came too early. I thought I left early enough."
Chief Lei smiled and said, "I'm used to it now. Mr. Zhou, please take a seat."
Zhou Shuren sat down and asked, "Can you order some tea?"
"not yet."
Zhou Shuren called the waiter and ordered two pots of fine tea, "Your punishment department, cough, we won't talk about official matters today, let's talk about private matters."
Chief Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of talking about official matters. "Xiaoguan and Liu Jing mentioned your lord. Liu Jing admires you very much. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see you before. Today I know that Xiaguan and your lord are having tea. Liu Jing specially asked me to Hello, sir."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I also admire Mr. Liu. There will be many opportunities to drink tea in the future, so let him not be anxious."
Chief Lei was relieved, the Zhou family was ready to settle down, "Then it's good to have a good relationship, and I can have a little more shamelessness and take the opportunity to drink tea."
"As long as you come, I will definitely bring you tea to entertain you."
Chief Lei grinned, and the corners of his mouth became wider and wider. He had caught Mr. Zhou’s eyes. Many people in the capital wanted to make friends with you, but you really didn’t have deep friendships with many people. This was your chance. "Xia Guan first Thank you, sir."
After drinking the tea for a while, the door of the box rang. When someone came in, Zhou Shuren stood up and said, "Master Shen."
Chief Lei also quickly stood up and said, "Master Shen."
Lord Shen walked in, "I always sit here in this box every time I come here. Someone made a reservation today. Only then did I know from the shopkeeper that Mr. Zhou was drinking tea. After thinking about it, I came up."
Zhou Shuren didn't think it was a coincidence, "Master Hou, please take a seat."
Chief Lei felt regretful that he could not drink the tea today. Fortunately, he would have the opportunity to drink tea in the future. He said, "I still have something to do. My lord, Mr. Shen, I will take my leave now."
Zhou Shuren really admired Chief Lei for his talent. After he was in a bad mood and couldn't stay in the household department any longer, he thought about finding a capable subordinate. Chief Lei was the person on his list. "We'll have tea together if we have the opportunity in the future."
Chief Lei said: "Next time I'm going to lower my rank and invite you, your Excellency, please stay."
After the door of the box was closed, Mr. Shen said, "Am I interrupting your conversation?"
Zhou Shuren said frankly: "What we are talking about is a private matter. My second grandson Ming Teng has reached the age of engagement. This is not because I have a crush on someone and asked someone to spread the word."
Lord Shen's heart skipped a beat, "Is this settled?"
Zhou Shuren said, "Ah, it's settled, the matchmaker has been found."
Lord Shen secretly thought that it was a pity. He thought about it for several days before he made up his mind to marry the Zhou family. In the past, his daughter was eyeing the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family, but he was not optimistic about it. He thought far ahead. The Zhou family has not been divided now, but it will be divided in the future. He was already home, so what he had been staring at was the Zhou family's big room.
He prefers the eldest grandson of the Zhou family. He became famous in one battle at a young age. He really likes her. It's a pity that he is already engaged and still with the Ran family.
After just thinking about it for a few more days, I actually already liked him.
Zhou Shuren looked at Mr. Shen. The last time they had tea together, Mr. Shen was not so reserved. It has only been more than a year, and the situation of the Shen family is not as good as before.
Zhou Shuren touched the tea cup. The Yao family was strong, and the Shen family was strong. Now that the Yao family was weak, the Shen family could only keep a low profile. He was secretly happy. Fortunately, they already liked each other, otherwise it would be difficult to refuse Mr. Shen who was looking for him personally. .
Lord Shen's mentality changed very quickly, "It seems like a long time since we last met. I'm already blurry. I really didn't expect Master Zhou to come to Beijing so soon."
He had no regrets at all. The more he got to know Zhou Shuren, the more he realized that this man had his own considerations in mind, and Shenhou Mansion was never on Zhou Shuren's list of contacts.
Zhou Shuren was also very emotional, "I'm also quite surprised. This is all the emperor's grace."
Lord Shen laughed in a low voice, "Yes, the emperor's grace is so great."
In front of the entire country, all of them are insignificant. The emperor only cares about the world.
Zhou Shuren held the tea cup and said, "Master Hou, drink tea."
Lord Shen took a sip of tea and wanted to say something else. He smiled and lowered his head to drink the tea.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, Zhulan invited Mrs. Gao to go to Liu's house. Mrs. Gao arrived at Liu's house and came back very quickly.
Zhulan knew it well, "It's been a hard day today."
Gao said: "No hard work, I'll just go through the motions. Just choose a good day and invite the official media to visit."
Zhulan smiled and said, "When it's done, I'll give you a big matchmaker gift."
Mrs. Gao laughed and said, "It's settled. Let me tell you, I have long been interested in the plum blossom picture you bought."
Zhulan felt a little pain in her body. She bought this painting from an art studio. It was not a question of whether it was expensive or not, but the artistic conception of this painting was particularly good. But when she thought of Ming Teng, she said, "Sure, as long as it's done, I'll give it to you." ”
Mrs. Gao said cheerfully, "If your family needs a matchmaker for your next engagement, please contact me."
Zhulan doesn't dare to do it anymore, Gao's eyes are poisonous, and she doesn't have many good things!
At this time, the housekeeper came in with the post in his hand.
