Chapter 824 Chess Pieces

Zhuangzi and Zhou Shuren were eating in the garden, Zhulan sent the girl and servant away, and now there are only the two of them.

Zhu Lan said, "Who do you think is responsible for the rumors of the true and false princes?"

Zhou Shuren said directly without thinking, "Yao Wenqi."

Zhu Lan said, "I think so too."

Zhou Shuren picked a leaf and played with it in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Shen Yang's thunder exploded and destroyed the emperor's plan. Although I don't know much about it, I have been listening to the prince a few times, and the Jianghuai area is making good progress. "

Zhulan continued: "And Zhang Jinghong's knowledge has become an important piece in the emperor's hands. Now rumors have come out that this piece of Zhang Jinghong is equivalent to a waste."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that Zhang Jinghong must have done something to make Yao Wenqi feel the crisis and automatically detonate the thunder of Shen Yang."

Zhulan also smiled, "This shows that Yao Wenqi's partners have their own minds, and internal disagreements will collapse sooner or later."

Zhou Shuren replied: "However, the emperor must be in a bad mood right now. Seeing that he is about to feel the pulse, it suddenly disrupts the situation. It is conceivable that the emperor is in a bad mood."

"I found out that your luck is really good, you just escaped after recuperating."

You must know that the Zhou family and Ning Guogong's mansion are related by marriage, so there will be someone to inquire about the news.

Zhou Shuren threw away the leaves in his hand, "I have a bit of luck, most of it is still my calculation, and the timing is good."

He thought that the punishment department would be cleaned up, Yao Wenqi would make moves, but he ignored the Jianghuai area. He did not expect that Yao Wenqi would take Shen Yang's move, and it would explode automatically. It was very different from the emperor's initiative, and it would explode automatically. Harder to walk.

From the Zhou family, Chang Lian got out of the carriage and asked Steward Wang, "Can Zhuangzi send a letter back?"

Butler Wang took out the letter in his arms, "Master's reply, Xiao Xiao has been keeping it."

Chang Lian took the letter and read it while walking. He saw that the last trace of unease in his confidence was gone. Dad told him to let him feel at ease in the Hanlin Academy, don't worry about anything, just live his own life.

With a smile on Chang Lian's face, he asked Butler Wang, "Did Ming Yun come back on time?"

Butler Wang returned, "The young masters came back after school and didn't go anywhere."

Chang Lian said: "These days, you personally go to pick them up from school, yes, especially Ming Teng, you must pay attention."

The capital is not peaceful recently, and his father is not at home. He wants to take care of the grandchildren in the family. When he thinks of Ming Teng, his head hurts, and this kid is the most restless.

Butler Wang said, "The little one will pick him up personally."

Chang Lian went back to the yard, saw her daughter playing in the yard, and hugged her, "Did you miss Daddy?"

Yu Yi put her arms around Daddy's neck and said in a milky voice, "I think, Daddy will play with you."

Mr. Dong heard the voice and came out, "Yuyi come down quickly, Daddy just came back to change clothes."

Chang Lian kissed his daughter, put it down carefully, and asked her gently, "Is the child in your womb bothering you today?"

Ever since Mr. Dong found out that he was pregnant, his appetite was not very good. "Today I have been obedient, and I ate two bowls of porridge at noon."

Chang Lian held the lady's hand, "That's good, you need to rest more in the past few days, so don't go to the posts in the past few days."

Dong Chuchu asked, "But what happened?"

Chang Lian was afraid that his wife would be worried, so he wrote to his father to avoid her, and said, "There are rumors today that Shen Yang is the real fifth prince, and my father wrote back and said, keep the family safe."

Dong Chuchu raised her heart at once, "You have offended Shen Yang a lot, and even threatened Shen Yang. If he is really the fifth prince, what should this be?"

Chang Lian laughed out loud, "Even if he is real, what can he do to me? Don't forget, my father is still here, and our family has an in-law with the Ning Mansion, so we are not afraid of him. Besides, this is true or false. not sure."

After hearing this, Dong Chuchu felt a lot more at ease, "Then I can rest assured."

Zhuangzi, after Mrs. Li calculated the interest, she returned the borrowed money to the fourth younger brother and sister, "Sister-in-law thanked the younger brother and younger sister. Without the money that the younger brother and sister lent to the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law would not have earned so much."

Su Xuan looked at the interest and thought to herself, there is a reason why the mother-in-law likes sister-in-law. Sister-in-law's words are counted, and the interest is not bad. "Sister-in-law will squeak when she needs money in the future. I have no shortage of money here."

Li shi was envious. It would be great if she had the same background as four younger siblings. She would not have to spend money to save a dowry for her daughter.

Su Xuan got up, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you off."

"No, just stay."

Li went out of the four-bedroom yard, debt-free and light, and she could walk straight on her back. She was thinking about the dowry that her mother-in-law bought for her. She wanted to sell the dowry and buy land near the capital, so it would be convenient to take care of it in the future. , so as not to trouble uncle.

Mr. Li walked quickly, and now he had money in his hand, which was going to buy shops and fields.

In the main courtyard, Zhulan has already gone to soak in the hot spring. Zhuangzi used to belong to the prince. The hot spring pool is elegantly repaired. Hearing the sound of water, seeing Zhou Shuren sitting in, "I almost forgot the feeling of soaking in the hot spring."

In modern times, she has been going a lot. It has been almost ten years since ancient times, and she is only able to soak in today.

Zhou Shuren let out a sigh of relief. It was really comfortable. This is how to enjoy life. "We'll come and stay for a while in winter."

Zhulan, "Don't talk too much."

Zhou Shuren choked, this time to recuperate is a good time, winter is indeed difficult, winter is the busiest time of the household, if he dares to recuperate, Master Xiao will fight with him.

Zhu Lan smiled, "However, you can't come, I can bring my son here, enjoy the beautiful scenery in winter, soak in hot springs, the days of immortals."

Zhou Shuren was envious when he heard it, so he leaned over and said, "Are you willing to leave me alone in the capital?"

Zhulan blinked, "I heard Mr. Gao say that in winter, the officials of the household department often live in the household department. It's not that I abandoned you, it's that you don't stay at home often."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Zhulan rubbed Zhou Shuren's shoulders, "I asked the steward just now that Zhuangzi's radishes and cabbage have been put away in the cellar, and we'll take a cart back when we go back."

"Green vegetables in winter are really simple."

Zhulan, "We have Zhuangzi in the south, and it's good to still be able to eat green vegetables in winter."

Last year, transported green vegetables from the south every two weeks. Although it was quite rotten, one transport was enough to last a while. After Zhou Shuren's official promotion, his family's wealth became large. She didn't save for food.

With seafood, etc., the Zhou family's winter meals are very rich.

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "If the Ministry of Works were more powerful, it would be great if glass could be popularized, build a glass house, grow flowers, and grow vegetables."

Zhulan, "...and a glass house, you really dare to think about it."

Zhou Shuren, "What I'm talking about is that after the glass is popularized, the current price doesn't matter. If it wasn't for the emperor's attention, our family would have to queue for a long time for a few pieces of glass."

Zhulan patted her husband on the shoulder, "So the money from the Ministry of Industry, you have to support me!"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "It's comfortable to rub your shoulders just now, I'll rub it for you."

Zhulan, "Okay."
