Chapter 751 The Envy of the Xu Family

The third prince sat down and said, "Second brother, don't wrong anyone, brother, I happened to want to go to the Ministry of Household, so I didn't meet my brother to say hello."

Zhang Jingyang snorted, "Now say hello, you can go down."

The third prince was eating the fruit, "No, I'm not in a hurry, it's my brother who is more important."

Zhang Jingyang hehe, "I just realized that my brother cares so much about my brother, my brother is really touched!"

"The younger brother is good to the second brother, and the elder brother remembers it."

Zhang Jingshi swept the inside of the carriage, and then looked at Zhang Jingyang with his eyes closed, the Minister of the Household was a fox for ten thousand years, and with Zhou Shuren, the second brother should have retired, so he would not run into the wall.

Zhang Jingshi opened his mouth and said, "Zhou Shuren is really capable. The two methods not only solved the difficulties of the household, but also thought of the father and emperor's heart in each method. It's a pity that Zhou Shuren couldn't win over him."

Zhang Jingyang opened his eyes, "Our brothers didn't have a good time to discuss it together, but I am devoted to the father and emperor, third brother, your thoughts are dangerous!"

Zhang Jingshi was disgusted, "Second brother, there is a ghost in your heart, don't paint your skin in front of your brother."

Zhang Jingyang, "Today, the elder brother should not have heard what the third younger brother said. For the sake of his own brother, it is better not to say it in the future."

Zhang Jingshi felt that he was defeated, "Stop."

Yaohou Mansion, since Yao Wenqi came back from the court meeting, he has regretted over and over again that he didn't kill Zhou Shuren. As long as he thinks of Zhou Shuren, his mind is buzzing and screaming. If Zhou Shuren was killed earlier, it wouldn't have happened today. to the point of.

Yao Wenqi closed his eyes. He knew better than anyone about the situation of the Ministry of Household and the state treasury. The flood disasters in the south were almost arranged. Zhou Shuren took office and felt a pain in his heart. Now he doesn't dare to make big moves.

Time passed quickly, and it was two days in a blink of an eye. The Ministry of Household has met several merchants, and they all gave the price of receiving jewelry. The price was not a false test.

Xiao Qing didn't think about who the masters behind these maritime merchants were. He only remembered that the emperor said that whoever gave the silver would choose whoever was the last.

When Zhou Shuren saw the silver, it was the day when the salary was paid. After the salary was paid, the Ministry of Household also had some silver, and the officials of the Ministry of Household could go home and rest with a sigh of relief.

Zhou's family, resting at night, Zhulan asked in a low voice curiously, "How much money did the sea merchants give?"

Zhou Shuren stretched out two fingers, "200,000 taels."

Zhulan took a deep breath, "I thought it was a hundred thousand taels of heaven."

Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said: "200,000 taels is not much for these maritime merchants, and these silver lords still think it's too little. It's a pity that no one has offered a higher price."

Zhu Lan was silent, "Where's the library?"

Zhou Shuren, "This library has just been cleaned up, and no one will take action now, but no hurry."

Zhu Lan smiled, "It's really not in a hurry, they won't delay until the army returns to the court."

Zhou Shuren was also amused, "Yes, who would have thought that the emperor had clearly indicated several princes!"

He has completely subdued the emperor, which clearly shows how many princes are really cheating!

Zhulan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Now the princes must scold you to death."

Zhou Shuren didn't care at all, "Anyway, they didn't scold me less."

Zhulan stopped laughing and said the serious business, "Today the Xu family is here again. When I was chatting with the Xu family, the Xu family's mistress, Xu Zhao, mentioned Shi Qing several times, and the tone of her speech was full of envy. Li has always said it's a pity!"

Zhou Shuren said: "It's really a pity that the identity of the Xu family is restricted."

Zhulan smiled, "So I have an idea to make the Ministry of Household's money more relaxed, so that the soldiers can protect the family and protect the country, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, do you think so?"

Zhou Shuren immediately understood what Zhulan was going to say, "It's a good idea."

Zhu Lan rolled her eyes, "I also think it's good, the first person to come up with it will get the benefits!"

Zhou Shuren whispered, "Let me think about it, think about it."

The next day, when the Hanlin Academy took a rest, Zhou Shuren was at the Ministry of Housing. The rest day was different from that of the Hanlin Academy. Zhou Shuren had breakfast and went to the Ministry of Housing.

Seeing that Rong Chuan had eaten breakfast, Zhu Lan didn't leave, "It's hard to rest, I don't need you to accompany me, go back and rest!"

Rong Chuan felt ashamed. He really didn't want to talk to his aunt. Now he doesn't have to be separated from Xuehan. He finally took a break. painted.

Zhulan blushed when she saw Rong Chuan, she still understood the child she had raised for many years, so she became sentimental, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"

Rong Chuan had a good experience in the Hanlin Academy, and soon returned to normal, "Auntie, I know a good painting building, so I want to invite my aunt to take a look."

Zhulan was quite interested, "Okay, just invite me?"

Rong Chuan blushed, his mind was seen through, "Also, there is sister Xuehan."

In order not to use the light bulbs, Zhulan thought she would bring a few more, "It's been a while since I've been in the capital, and I haven't been out yet, the weather is really good today It's too little to bring only Xuehan, Yuluyu Bring frost too, the two girls also like to draw, yes, and your third sister-in-law."

After speaking, Zhulan couldn't help laughing. Among the daughters-in-law in the family, the old one didn't understand the painting, the second one didn't like it, and the fourth one didn't bother to read it, only Mrs Dong could follow. .

Rong Chuan counted the number of people, and told himself in his heart that ignoring his aunt was also ignoring.

In the painting building in the capital, there are not only scholars, but also many female dependents.

Rong Chuan explained: "The female relatives are all on the second floor, and the men on the ground floor will not go up."

Rong Chuan was also brought to him by Lord Ning Hou, and he only knew that he was here. Lord Ning Hou didn't like painting, it was all for him, and his calligraphy and painting were good.

As soon as Rong Chuan thought of Lord Ninghou, he saw the carriage of Ninghou Mansion. The carriage stopped. Rong Chuan was very happy. He hadn't seen Lord Ninghou for a long time, "I have seen Lord Hou."
