Chapter 854 Hands have their own ideas, so do feet
In a blink of an eye, it was another seven days. The Zhou family finally received the New Year's gift from the Yang family and Qian Keqi. This year, the New Year's gift from the Yang family was heavier than in previous years. Silver, this year's harvest is not good, there is a lot of rain, the taste of the fruit is also poor, and the price is much lower than in previous years, but it is a good income.
Zhulan distributed all the skins sent by the Yang family to each room, and she didn't keep any of them. The main reason is that this winter, each room has been filial to the skins, and there are a few pieces of money to give away. The main courtyard has already enough.
For some other New Year gifts, Zhu Lan has sorted them out, waiting to give gifts in a few days.
After entering Beijing this year, the cost of this year's ceremony has increased again, and the main one is the Ningguo Gongfu.
Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren entering the house, "You came back earlier than usual today."
Zhou Shuren said with a smile, "I figured out what the emperor meant. You don't have to be so anxious in winter, and I don't have to work overtime. Besides, I chatted with the prince in the palace today."
"What did we talk about?"
Zhou Shuren drank hot tea to warm his body, "Good thing, the prince mentioned Wu Ming and the Ministry of Rites."
Zhulan looked up from the New Year's gift list she was preparing, "What do you mean, Wu Ming will go to Beijing after the new year and go to the Ministry of Rites?"
Zhou Shuren held the teacup, his hands warmed a lot, "You know, the Ministry of Rites has always been in Feng Huai's hands, the prince found a problem, but the punishment has just happened, and it's not easy to touch the Ministry of rites for a while, I don't care about Wu Ming. already."
When Zhulan heard the sound of walking, Mrs. Song returned with the girl and whispered quickly, "So you are not only happy that Wu Ming has entered the capital, but also that the prince uses Wu Ming."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "My daughter-in-law is smart."
Zhulan thought in her heart that at present, the crown prince's accession to the throne is almost certain. As long as it is completely cleaned up, the crown prince should be on the throne. At this time, the prince will use Wu Ming, Wu Ming will move closer to the prince, and the imperial power will change. As long as Wu Ming seizes the opportunity, The road ahead will be smooth.
Madam Song came in at this time, "Dinner is ready, and the hot pot has been served."
When Zhou Shuren heard this, "Hotpot should be eaten this winter. What kind of pot is it today?"
Zhulan said: "The mutton pot is good for your body, you should also change your clothes quickly."
"good."
When Zhulan and Zhou Shuren arrived, all the rooms were already seated, and today Rong Chuan also came, um, and Gu Liufeng, who Zhulan told Mingyun to invite in the morning.
Zhou Shuren saw Gu Liufeng blushing and sweat on his forehead, "Why, the room is very hot?"
Seeing Lord Zhou, Gu Liufeng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not hot."
Zhou Shuren looked at his youngest son and snickered while covering his mouth with his fat hands. Come on, this kid bullied Liu Feng again, and looked away, "Take chopsticks and eat. The mutton pot in winter is the most filling, eat quickly."
Saying that, put down the chopsticks first.
There are many people in the Zhou family, and there are many young men. I don't know how many kilograms of meat I ate in this meal.
Guogong Mansion, Ning Guogong saw his youngest son come over for dinner, "Rong Chuan went to Zhou Mansion again?"
Ning Xu was pitiful, "Yeah, so my son is here to eat."
In the past, I didn't feel anything when I was eating alone, but I enjoyed the quiet. But since Rong Chuan accompanied him to eat, he didn't like to eat alone. Unfortunately, this son is like a daughter, thinking about running to Zhou's house all day long.
Ning Guogong asked, "Didn't Zhang Jinghong's life experience be found out, the emperor still has to wait?"
Ning Xu nodded, "Well, it's not lively enough now. These days, I've been focusing on expanding the navy. No one has mentioned Zhang Jinghong's life experience, so I'm not in a hurry."
Ning Guogong hummed, and when the dishes were all ready, "Eat."
In Zhou Mansion, Xue Han wore a cape and sent Rong Chuan out of the mansion. The two walked very close. It was dark on this day, and they both wore capes. The girl behind them was a few steps away.
Rong Chuan took advantage of the wine and became a little more courageous. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xue Han's hand. His palm was on fire. Xuehan struggled, as if her hands were dominating her brain, she clenched it even tighter.
Xuehan didn't drink, but her face was flushed red. It couldn't be done, and she didn't dare to make a big move. She glared at Rong Chuan angrily. , Slowly quieted down, wishing that the road would not end.
Rong Chuan slowed down and grinned. Sometimes, it's good for his hands to be disobedient. Well, it's just that his hands have ideas.
It's a pity that, soon after arriving at the gate of the mansion, Xuehan stopped, coughed, waited for Rong Chuan to release his hand, quickly hid his hand, lowered his head, "There is snow on the road, the carriage was slow on the way back. a little."
Rong Chuanjiao also had his own thoughts and didn't want to leave, but when he heard the coughing sound, he rolled his eyes, "I hear you, stop coughing."
Xia Mo relied on the darkness to see no one, and rolled his eyes happily. Every time the son and the young lady were separated, he was reluctant to part with him. He could remember the words of Lord Hou and let the son go home earlier.
Xuehan wanted to dive into the snow, so she quickly turned around and ran, "You won't be here these days."
Hearing these words, Rong Chuan looked at Xia Mo resentfully, "I told you to talk more, there is no one now, so you cough hard."
Xia Mo, "..."
He is not human inside or outside, simply, to death.
In the Gu family, Gu Liufeng entered the house and saw his mother waiting for him while embroidering a handkerchief, "Mother, my son is back."
Hu Shi, "You came back so early, I thought you would come back later."
Gu Liufeng explained, "I drank two glasses of wine today, and because there was snow on the road, I didn't stay any longer."
Hu Shi was surprised, "Drinking?"
Gu Liufeng nodded, "Master Zhou said that his son is not too young, so he can practice properly, so as not to suffer in the future, so my son tried it, but I didn't expect that my son's drinking capacity is OK."
Seeing that his son was really awake, Mrs Hu smiled and said, "Mother doesn't know much. Just listen to what Lord Zhou says. Lord Zhou will not harm you."
Gu Liufeng nodded, "Yes."
Afterwards, his cheeks were a little red. Today, Lord Zhou's youngest son asked him to call him little uncle again. Yushuang helped him with a silly smile.
When Mr. Hu came over, he burst out laughing. It seemed that his son was really interested in Miss Zhou's eldest grandson, and he was relieved.
The next day, County Lord Shen came to the door again, and for the second time in the past few days, Zhulan said politely, "I'll send someone to call Su Xuan over."
Shen Yile shook her head, "Su Xuan has to take care of the two children, I'll just go find her."
Zhulan, "That's fine, I'll send someone to lead the way."
She and Shen Yile had nothing to talk about. Since she was looking for Su Xuan, she didn't stay any longer.
Zhu Lan waited for Shen Yile to go out, and said to Mrs. Song, "I heard that the Queen has not seen County Lord Shen now?"
Mrs. Song, "Yes."
Zhulan said quietly: "This Shenhou Mansion is going to be silent."
Mrs. Song was used to her mistress being sharp from time to time, and she was indeed the one that Lord Zhou had in her heart. Even though the mistress was dealing with the women in the back house, her vision was not limited to the back house, and she had a very accurate view of the situation.
