Could it be that the prince saw Zhou Shuren in a daze, "Yes, we're here."
Zhou Shuren got off the carriage dizzy and saw a ruin. He knew this place. Everyone in the capital knew about it, but few people talked about it. He also asked Lord Xiao, but Lord Xiao kept silent about it and told him not to ask too much, so he suppressed his curiosity.
Of course, there are some rumors, unreliable rumors in the capital, saying that this place is haunted and that it is a forbidden area. The rumors are so detailed that it seems as if everyone has visited this place. Anyway, over time, few people talk about it.
Zhou Shuren looked at the desolate ruins. The prince had already entered this place. Zhou Shuren hurried to follow him. He did not believe the rumors.
This place has been abandoned for many years. Fortunately, it is almost winter, so there is no need to worry about snakes running out of the grass from time to time, as there is a paved path in the ruins.
When Zhou Shuren came in, he found that many guards were already clearing the weeds.
The prince walked very slowly, and even raised his hand to touch the stone pillar whose color could no longer be seen, "My Lord, do you know where this is?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "I don't know, I only know there is a story here."
The prince smiled and said, "Yes, there is indeed a story. This place is really huge. My prince's mansion is not even half as big as this one."
"I saw it from the drawing just now."
This place is not just big, it is too big, and it has been abandoned all this time, which is such a waste.
The prince continued walking forward, "The fire that year burned everything and buried the Rong family. Did the Rong family know about this?"
Zhou Shuren paused, "I don't know much."
This turned out to be the Rong family. He knew that the Rong family was one of the right-hand men of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty. They were a family with hundreds of years of history. The Rong family made an indispensable contribution to the founding of the country by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty. Later, the Rong family withdrew, and their decision to retire at the height of their career was quite similar to that of the Ning family today. The only difference was that the Rong family had never produced an imperial concubine, and no one had ever married into the royal family.
Zhou Shuren said everything he was thinking.
The prince listened to Zhou Shuren talking about the Rong family and smiled, "I know a little more than you do. My royal grandmother's surname is Rong, and she is the daughter of the Rong family's legitimate branch."
Zhou Shuren remained silent because everyone was avoiding talking about the emperor. He had never heard anyone talk about it since he came to Beijing, and no one dared to talk about it. That was the emperor's past. As for the emperor's mother, all they remembered was her posthumous title; her real surname would not be told even if someone knew it.
Zhou Shuren looked at the desolate ruins, feeling sad. What happened back then? The emperor played dumb and the Rong family was destroyed.
The prince stopped and said, "The front has not been cleaned yet. We need to clean it up before the first snow falls."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that this project was too big, and he was calculating the money in his mind. He took a breath of cold air, thinking that this would cost too much money.
The prince gestured to go back, and when they came out, he looked back and said, "There is no Rong family here, only the royal family's Rong Garden."
Zhou Shuren respectfully escorted the prince to the carriage and left, but he couldn't help but look at the Rong family, Rong Garden, another heritage of the Rong family. Anyone in later generations who knew about Rong Garden would also know about the Rong clan. This was more meaningful than repairing the tomb.
When Zhou Shuren returned to the Ministry of Revenue, he met Zhang Jinghong who was running out in a hurry and almost bumped into him.
Zhang Jinghong lost his balance and fell to the ground. Zhou Shuren helped him up and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhang Jinghong was anxious, "I have asked for leave to go home. My wife is not feeling well, and I need to go back to see her."
Zhou Shuren frowned and said, "Go back quickly."
"Thank you, sir."
Zhang Jinghong was really scared. If it wasn't a big deal, Yao Xin wouldn't come to the Ministry of Revenue to call him. He felt cold in his heart. Could the child be gone? As soon as this thought came to his mind, he looked particularly depressed.
Zhou Shuren also thought of this possibility. Counting the days, Zhang Yang's leg would probably be healed soon.
At the Zhang family, Yao Xin asked the doctor again and again, "Is the baby really okay? Is it just a miscarriage?"
The doctor was a little reluctant to answer. This was the tenth time. "Yes, the child is really fine. Madam just had some miscarriage. She will be fine after taking some anti-abortion medicine and taking good care of herself."
Yao Xin signaled to the maid to send the doctor out. This was the fourth doctor she had found. She didn't believe the first doctor, but when the four doctors said the same thing, she began to believe it. These four doctors were found in the east, west, south, and north cities respectively. When they touched her belly, she felt that she had taken good care of her children, so how could she have a miscarriage just by going out
When Zhang Jinghong came in, he saw Yao Xin touching her belly. Because she was looking down, he couldn't see her expression clearly. Zhang Jinghong's steps were heavy. He sat down and said in a hoarse voice, "There will be children."
Yao Xin knew her husband had misunderstood as soon as she heard it. "Pooh, good things will work, bad things won't. The child is fine, you are not allowed to curse him."
Zhang Jinghong came back from a state of great sorrow and joy, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Is the child okay?"
"It's okay, I just had some miscarriage, hurry up and bah, bah."
Zhang Jinghong pouted, "Good things work, bad things don't work, haha, the child is fine."
Yao Xin waited until her husband was happy before she told him what happened today. "Luckily I met Yang Shuren. If Yang Shuren hadn't helped me today, I might not have had a miscarriage. I just thought about it and it must be the Fifth Prince's Mansion."
Zhang Jinghong snorted, "How could it be such a coincidence? Fortunately, Yang Shuren took you away."
He was terrified just thinking about it, and sighed, "I've seen a lot of people of all kinds, but Lord Zhou and his wife have always kept their bottom line. In fact, they can choose not to lend a hand, and we can't help the Zhou family at all."
Yao Xin held her husband's hand tightly. She saw how hard he worked and saw his ability, but there was a dead end ahead. Even the child in her belly was a future she could see. "We are still alive, and we will live a better life in the future."
Zhang Jinghong smiled and said, "Yes, we want to live a better life."
Yao Xin smiled and said, "This year the weather has been good and the harvest is good, so we have a lot of money coming in. You see, few people dare to accept our gifts. We have saved a lot of money, and we can save it all for the children."
Zhang Jinghong felt relieved, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
At the Zhou family, Mrs. Song heard the news, "The fifth prince's concubine had a miscarriage and the child was not saved."
Zhulan just couldn't figure it out, so she asked Mrs. Song to pay attention. The fifth prince's concubine had an accident in the jewelry shop. This matter could not be concealed, and the news was easy to inquire about. Unexpectedly, "She is really pregnant?"
Mrs. Song continued, "Mr. Zhang's wife also had a miscarriage. It seems that the medicine she smelled at that time was very harmful to the child."
Zhulan saw that Mrs. Song was hesitant to speak, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Mrs. Song continued, "If it was really a problem with the medicine, then the old woman had been following the Fifth Prince's concubine. Logically, the concubine should have had a miscarriage long ago, not in the jewelry shop. The Fifth Prince's residence is not close to the jewelry shop."
Zhulan said what Mrs. Song meant, "Do you think the concubine is not pregnant? She just took medicine?"
Mrs. Song, "I couldn't hold it. I didn't smell what medicine it was at the time."
Zhulan thought to herself, these medicines are really powerful, some of them are really hard to guard against.
