Chapter 553： Leverage

Zhou Shuren motioned for Jiang Ming to sit down, "I came back temporarily, no one came at home, and there was no good tea. This is just a little tea I just bought, so don't dislike it."

He is accustomed to drinking tea. In modern times, he rarely drinks tea. He prefers to drink sweet fruit juice, because it has a sweet taste and a slightly bitter tea taste.

But in ancient times, he was not alone in ancient times. He had a wife and was still a soul mate. He was no longer alone and began to enjoy the taste of tea. Now he has a son, a completed home, and slowly learned to taste tea. Taste new life from tea.

Jiang Ming paused while holding the teacup. Is no one here to remind him that he should not come? Pulling the corner of his mouth, he is older than Zhou Shuren, but in just a few years, he is still walking in the same place, Zhou Shuren has gone from an old scholar to the position of the prefect of Jinzhou.

The prefect of Jinzhou, the secret rule in the court, the prefect of Jinzhou must go to Beijing, this seat is a springboard, just like the second son of the former prefect of Jinzhou Anping Houfu, who is now a third-rank official.

And Zhou Shuren is still the emperor's confidant, confidant ministers, even the fourth-rank princes are polite, when he knows that Zhou Shuren had dinner with several princes yesterday, yes, he will also add a defiant Yao Houye, his heart is It was hot. Today, knowing that he saw An Pinghou, he couldn't help it.

Jiang Ming took a sip of the tea, it was indeed not a good tea, but it had a taste, and said meaningfully: "The expensive tea is not in the price, where can you drink the expensive tea, I think in most people's hearts, this tea is Good tea."

He is envious. He thinks his ability is no worse than Zhou Shuren, but he has never been appreciated since he came to the capital. He lives step by step. This is not what he wants. He is tired of being ignored and ignored. He has many days to regret Back to Beijing.

Zhou Shuren looked at Jiang Ming lightly, so he said that the capital is really a place that can change people. There are more beauties in Jiang Ming's backyard, so why not seek the feeling of being admired, this will make Jiang Ming feel that he is a god, rather than being ignored outside. The presence.

Zhou Shuren pressed his eyebrows, and to put it bluntly, he still didn't hold his heart, "I don't think I have good tea here."

In order to protect his wife and son, he took it step by step, and really didn't think the tea in the Zhou Mansion was so good.

Jiang Ming was relieved a lot. He didn't come here to talk about anything. He knew in his heart that Zhou Shuren had a bottom line, so as long as he didn't step on the bottom line, it would be fine. Just a little longer was enough. Many people in the capital wanted to befriend Zhou Shuren. He doesn't need much, as long as he borrows strength, didn't Zhou Shuren also do it?

Jiang Ming poured himself another cup of tea. Didn't Zhou Shuren also borrow his strength?

Zhou Shuren looked at Jiang Ming playfully, but he didn't say a word. He thought in his heart that the Jiang family had long since fallen, and only Jiang Ming was the official in the entire Jiang family. Ambition, but didn't notice that there was no one in the court, and there was no powerful family. Jiang Ming was able to stay in his seat well, why didn't he always borrow his strength.

Otherwise, officials without a strong family and network, especially Jiang Ming's age, should have been taken down long ago.

Zhou Shuren regretted that he really liked Jiang Muchen. This boy is not bad. He was on the list of candidates for his grandson-in-law. Now he can only withdraw from the list. Unless Zhou Shuren glanced at Jiang Ming, don't step on his bottom line. For these relatives, he really will not show mercy.

In Jinzhou Prefecture, Zhulan received news from Tao Shi and had found Mr. Zhulan. Zhulan asked Dong Yiyi to speak to Dong Yiyi and told Dong Yiyi to go to Wang Mansion tomorrow.

In the third room, Dong Yiyi heard the news with joy on the corner of her mouth, and said to her sister, "I really want to thank your mother-in-law."

Dong Shi hesitated to speak, but finally turned into a sigh, "Sister."

Dong Yiyi held her sister's hand, "I know what you are going to say, my dowry has indeed filled a lot of holes in recent years, but I had a lot of dowry back then, don't worry, I have money to support Mr. Qi ."

Mr. Dong doesn’t believe it. It’s not cheap to hire a gentleman. Zhou’s house has hired a few gentlemen. That’s because Zhou’s house has a foundation. She has a mother-in-law who can catch money. , shops, fields, houses, these are all silver.

What's more, there is also a father-in-law who is trusted by the emperor. The rewards from the family, the gifts from officials, and the gifts from merchants, all accumulate wealth.

As for the eldest sister, she did take away most of her family back then, and her sister did accumulate business, but the cost of the capital was huge. She knew very well that there was also the drag of the Jiang clan.

Dong Yiyi was a little embarrassed by her sister. She didn't say that her husband's entertainment was a lot of money. "Don't you believe me?"

Dong shi smiled, "Trust."

Dong Yiyi stood up and didn't want to stay with her sister anymore. She felt uncomfortable and would be jealous, "I'll go back and rest first, don't be too tired."

Mr. Dong, "Yeah."

Dong Yiyi went out and stood in the yard. It was snowing again. She looked back at the house. She was really envious. My sister didn't need to be in charge. There was a good mother-in-law on top of her. The account book sent by the family, the income from the dowry of the sister, the income of the brother-in-law's own property, and the plan of listening to the sister, she will continue to sell it next year. She is really jealous the more she treats it.

In the capital, Zhou Shuren counts the hours. It's already half an hour, an hour. He can't bear to sit anymore, and finally he doesn't have to work hard. He can lie down and never sit. It's morning, "I'm getting old, my legs and feet are bad, and I can't sit still."

Jiang Ming thought that it was almost done, got up and said: "You rest first, I will go back first, by the way, Mr. Dong disturbed you at your residence Zhou Shuren thought in his heart, Mrs. Dong I can't stay in Zhou Mansion anymore, so I smiled and said, "Then I won't give it away. "

In the past, he was weak, talented and knowledgeable, and there was no such thing as a seniority. Now he is not only an elder, but also has a higher official position than Jiang Ming, so it is impossible to send him.

Jiang Ming looked at Zhou Shuren silently, and he knew in his heart that after today, Zhou Shuren distanced himself from him, but it was not complete, and the Zhou family could not let Chang Lian divorce his wife. There is Meng Juren in this link.

Zhou Shuren did not send Jiang Ming to the yard. He looked up at the sky. There was a lot of snow this winter, but the snow was not big, and the snow was flying. It was quite artistic.

At the Yao residence, Yao Zheyu was called back with a cold face. He was very happy that Master Zhou put his father along yesterday, and really didn't want to come back.

It's a pity that when I entered the main hall, I didn't see my father, but my father's concubine. This concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter, and is now managing the Hou residence.
