The next day, Mrs. Zhong’s wife, Mrs. Gao, came to visit Zhou’s house. Zhulan was quite surprised. She attended the banquet in Zhong’s house, but there were too many people. Even though Mr. Gao took care of her, they didn’t talk much. However, Mr. Gao introduced quite a few officials and family members.
I really didn't expect that Mr. Gao would come to the door.
Zhulan went out to greet him. Mrs Gao was about the same age as Zhulan. Zhulan said, "I thought I heard it wrong, but after confirming it carefully, I believed it was you. Come on, please."
Mr. Gao said as he walked: "I can't wait for you, so I can only come in person. I walked all the way just now. This mansion deserves to be a reward, it's just magnificent."
Zhulan felt that Gao's tone was much warmer than last time. This is the effect brought by Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren has gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Household. The scenery is also one of the best in the capital, the last time I went there, I kept talking about renovating the garden in the house!"
Mr. Gao sighed in his heart that, after two contacts, Mr. Yang is really not like coming out of a farmhouse, and thinking about it again, Mr. Zhou can make the master want to make friends, and Mrs. Zhou's wife is not simple and should be, "It's a bit late to renovate the yard at this time. Preferably in the spring."
"At that time, I'll have to come to the door to ask for experience. I've visited a lot, so you can't dislike me."
Mr. Gao smiled, "I wish you would come more. As long as you ask, I will not hide it."
Zhulan, "Then it's settled."
"That's a deal."
At this time, Butler Ding came in with a lot of posts in his hand, and Butler Ding said, "Mother, this is the post I just received."
Zhulan motioned to Mrs. Song to continue, and glanced at it, it was really too much.
Mr. Gao thought to himself that the Zhou family had completely established a firm foothold in the capital. The household department was short of money. The master was transferred from the household department. The master knew best. Husband and wife are one, and if the master wants to make friends with Lord Zhou, she naturally wants to make friends with Yang.
Speaking of which, when she invited Mrs. Yang, she only expressed her gratitude for the care of Mrs. Yang. Because of Zhou Shuren, the master left the Ministry of Household and joined the Ministry of Personnel.
Fortunately, the Yang family was invited, otherwise it would have been abrupt to come here today.
Ning Zhixiang frowned, "Don't turn around in front of my eyes."
Turning around, he was very upset. Originally, his chest was a little stuffy, but now it's even more uncomfortable.
Yu wrung her eyebrows, "I'm worried, my mother doesn't know what's wrong recently. It's been a long time since she asked me to come over to accompany her. These days are all accompanied by my sister-in-law. The matter I mentioned to my mother, my mother is obviously tempted, no. Knowing what went wrong, he even told me."
Ning Zhixiang lowered his eyes, "Don't mention the matter of adoption."
Yu Shi was not reconciled, "The third uncle's family background is no worse than that of the Duke's mansion, and the third uncle also has a marquis."
"Enough, don't mention it in the future."
Why did the mother say Yu, it must be the meaning of the father. Only when the father spoke, the mother would change so much. The meaning of the father was the meaning of the grandfather.
He could see clearly that compared to the third uncle, the father is the one who listens to the grandfather the most.
Yu shi twisted the veil, the wealth in front of her could only be seen but not touched, she was still unwilling.
Ning Zhixiang closed his eyes and didn't look at the lady. The lady was not reconciled, and he was even more reconciled, but he thought more. The third uncle's actions a while ago were not shy, and he really valued the third son of the Zhou family and Zhang Rongchuan. .
He cared more about Zhang Rongchuan, but he just couldn't figure it out. He didn't dare to let people stare at the third uncle. The third uncle was not a good person to get along with. He couldn't think about it anymore.
In the household department, Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan were standing outside the door of Lord Shang Shu. The two did not want to go in. The door was not closed. The six ministers had all the ministers, and even the ministers from the Ministry of Industry came.
The big bosses in the room are fighting each other, and the firepower is very fierce. They have been tricked into donating money. As a result, the Ministry of Household received a reward yesterday, and the fire is even more prosperous.
Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his mouth, he was a lot of age, and the quarrel was like a child. Every time the Minister of Rites quarreled off the topic, the Minister of Personnel would pull it back, the Ministry of War fanned the flames, the Ministry of Punishment saw blood for a while, the Ministry of Works did not leak, but also It was wonderful.
Qiu Yan got used to it and said in a low voice, "Let's go back, it won't end every half an hour."
Zhou Shuren listened to Mr. Xiao's vigorous voice, one to five, not at all inferior, "Okay."
It's just that Zhou Shuren's blood pressure rose a bit when he thought that quarrels would be his daily routine in the future!
An hour later, Master Xiao called Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan over.
Master Xiao sat on the edge of the ice basin, sweating profusely from the quarrel, and it was too hot. "You two are here. Except for the Ministry of War, tell me which one should be given the money."
He will give it all.
Qiu Yan is familiar with the reasons for asking for the money, "The lower official thinks that it should be given to the Ministry of Rites. Sacrifices are a major event, and the equipment of the Ministry of Rites should indeed be changed."
Zhou Shuren thought for a while and said, "Xiaguan thinks it's the Ministry of Works. After examining the past two years, the Ministry of Works has applied for the least money. The Ministry of Works really needs money."
In fact, if you want to develop rapidly, the Ministry of Work is really important, but unfortunately, the six Ministry of Works in ancient times were at the bottom and were really not taken seriously.
Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, "I thought you would also say the Ministry of Rites!"
When the army returned to the dynasty, the day for the sacrifice had already been selected, so the Ministry of Rites was very tough when it asked for money. The one who quarreled with him the most was the Minister of Rites.
Xiao Qing, "Xiaguan also looked at the money that the Ministry of Rites disbursed over the past two years. The Ministry of Rites should still have money."
Xiao Qing thought about it for a while, and took out the paperwork from the Ministry of Works. The amount of money in the paperwork from the Ministry of Works was not large. He frowned and agreed, "I'll give it to you."
Zhou Shuren, "Yes."
After dinner in the evening, Zhulan said, "Let me tell you, the second son of Yaohou Mansion woke up, but he was stupid."
Zhou Shuren was stunned, "Who did you listen to?"
Zhulan, "I heard from Mr. Dong. Mrs. Dong went to the banquet and told me when he came back. Are you really stupid or fake?"
