Chapter 894 Courageous
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xuemei. Xuemei continued, "We didn't say it was a habit. My parents followed us all the time, so they naturally followed us into Beijing."
This is the truth. She really never thought of chasing her parents-in-law away. She has gotten along well in the past few years. She has no reason not to carry it, not to mention the word filial piety.
Jiang Sheng looked at the lady, and he was very thoughtful. The lady was for him. If there were not too many people, he would want to hold the lady's hand.
The other sons of the Jiang family were relieved. It was not that they did not adopt their parents, but that their parents obviously wanted to follow the boy.
The worries of the old couple of Jiang's family for many days are completely gone. In this family, what the son says, they will beat the drum in their hearts, and the daughter-in-law is different. The daughter-in-law really wants to bring the old couple to Beijing.
Xuemei had too many things, and she gave many to the clan members. She specially kept some for a few sisters-in-law, children's clothes, and some odds and ends.
When Xuemei sent off the brothers and sisters, Jiang Sheng stood at the gate of the yard, "Counting the days, the convoy to pick us up is coming soon."
Xuemei felt a little uneasy in her heart. When she wanted to leave, she was very happy. Now that she is about to leave, she feels very uncomfortable. After all, she has lived here for many years. "Well, I only hope to be able to get to the capital before the new year."
Jiang Sheng shook his head, "It's only ten days before the Chinese New Year, we can't make it."
Xuemei looked at Jiang Sheng and understood her husband, "What do you mean, leave after the new year?"
Jiang Sheng held the lady's hand, "Well, in fact, the patriarch also meant the same thing, but he was concerned about you, so he never mentioned it. You also know that several people in the clan will go to the capital after the year."
Xuemei thought for a while, "Then leave after the year."
After all, it is the clansmen within the clan. If you take care of them together, the clansmen will be more grateful to Dad, and if you can't make it to the capital for the New Year, then you can leave after the new year in peace.
In the evening, when Zhou Shuren ate dinner, several sons and daughters-in-law did not go back, and even his grandson and granddaughter stayed by the side.
Changzhong was even more anxious, "Father, hurry up and unpack it."
He has been thinking about it for a long time, and his father can still eat in when he comes back!
Zhou Shuren tapped the tip of his son's nose, "Dad taught you not to be impatient with anything, have you forgotten?"
Changzhong spread his hands, "My son is still young, this is what my mother said."
Zhu Lan rolled her eyes in her heart, stinky boy, he would throw the blame, glared at the younger son, saw the younger son sticking out his tongue, and chuckled, "Okay, don't tease him."
Zhou Shuren snorted. When he got home, he wanted to open the box. Looking at the expressions of his son and grandchildren, he held back. Never be impatient.
Zhou Shuren glanced at some of his sons and grandsons. Boss Zhou responded slowly and didn't understand, while Chang Li responded, and Dad was educating them.
Among the grandsons, Ming Yun and Ming Rui reacted, and Ming Teng's mind was still on the box. It was really useless to listen to what grandpa said!
Zhou Shuren took down Ming Teng's reaction. As for the boss, he was used to it.
The 20,000 taels of boxes were quite a lot, and they were piled up in a pile. Zhou Shuren would not be foolish to open the boxes by himself. He called Ming Yun and Ming Rui, but not Ming Teng.
This made Ming Teng anxious, "Grandpa, I will help you too."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "You stand honestly for me."
Ming Teng was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what he did wrong. Grandpa obviously wanted to educate himself. He looked at his father suspiciously, and quickly looked away. Dad is not reliable, but the second uncle and the third uncle are reliable.
Changyi laughed and whispered in Ming Teng's ear, Ming Teng shrank his neck and hummed, letting Grandpa remember that his good days were coming to an end.
The boxes are all opened quickly, because the low-end boxes will not be too much, so even if they are all hit, it will not be too exciting.
Zhou Shuren is not stupid, the emperor didn't stop him, it doesn't mean that he wants to die himself, he really won't put all the solitary books.
Zhou Shuren and Zhulan knew in their hearts that the Zhou family's sons were dumbfounded.
Except for Chang Zhong, who is too young to understand, the others stared blankly at Dad. This is really shocking, Dad, operating in the dark, so bold!
The teacup in Chang Lian's hand fell on the table, and his hand was shaking a little, "Dad, this, is this over?"
It's not that he has seen few scenes, but he is really shocked!
Changzhi swallowed his saliva, the old man really made a blockbuster if he didn't say anything.
Zhou Shuren looked at Chang Lian with disgust, "You have been in the Hanlin Academy for many days, and you have been in the palace these two days. What did the emperor say?"
Chang Lian recalled carefully, "No."
Zhou Shuren, "That's okay, why do you think you can hide from the emperor. If the emperor really wanted to beat your father and me, he would have sent a message through you long ago."
Chang Lian swallowed, he was really frightened, "Does the emperor know?"
Zhou Shuren said quietly: "In this capital, as long as the emperor wants to know, he will know that your father and I are measured, and this time the emperor is very satisfied with the blind guess, these boxes can be considered as a reward for your father and me."
He has done too much in the past six months, and the emperor has always rewarded him well. First, he hates too much, and second, the emperor is afraid that there will be no reward in the end.
He didn't tell his sons about this. This was considered a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers. Of course, it was mainly because Zhou Shuren understood that he didn't want to think about it himself, and the emperor really wouldn't reward him.
When Chang Lian heard what his father said, he was finally relieved. He was an old fox. Ahem, I can't say that.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and counted the silver taels in the same way. He couldn't say how excited he was. Except for the family heirlooms, there were more than 30,000 taels left to deal with. He got something and earned 10,000. Two more.
This is still because he is not mad, otherwise, he will earn more, and he will have fifty thousand instead of twenty thousand taels.
Zhou Shuren didn't tell his sons the exact number let the little servant pack the boxes. These boxes are to be recycled. Yes, after buying the boxes and taking them home and dismantling them, they have to send them back to the household department.
This blind demolition will definitely continue in the future. Naturally, it must be recycled. He is a very economical person.
The antique calligraphy and paintings waiting to be dismantled were all sealed and stored, and Zhulan kissed Zhou Shuren, "The money came so quickly this time, it's just a pity that it was a single transaction."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "You've already taken a big advantage, and Lord Xiao dares to follow along. That's because Lord Xiao has worked hard and made great achievements in recent years. As long as you are not greedy, the emperor will turn a blind eye. If you are greedy, the emperor will not be soft-hearted."
Zhulan naturally knew, "Look, it's New Year's Eve, some merchants will definitely make blind guesses, but it's better to control some, such as only allowing approved ones to prevent chaos, some Rewards and punishments must also be perfected, lest unscrupulous merchants embezzle the money of the people."
Zhou Shuren kissed his daughter-in-law's fleshy face, "I've already thought about it, I've already written a book and sent it to me."
Zhulan rolled her eyes, "That's good."
