Zhulan felt that this year was going very fast. It seemed that the full moon had just passed for her little granddaughter, but she didn't feel how much time had passed. The child had already passed 100 days, it was already summer, and Zhou Shuren's birthday was over.
Although the dog days have not yet arrived, the sun is still full, and the morning sun is shaking and people are dizzy.
Zhulan was lying on the rocking chair and enjoying the girl's fan. She reached out to get the fruit on the low table, but unfortunately she couldn't eat it that was too cold, and she felt a little drowsy thinking about it.
"Grandma, grandma."
Zhulan's drowsiness disappeared, and she opened her eyes and looked at the two little girls who ran in, "The two of you are the best spirits in our family. Come on, what do you want to do with grandma?"
Yudie is the elder sister and has the biggest idea, so she ran over to please, "Grandma, my mother doesn't take us out, I still want to go to my future brother-in-law's house."
Yu Yi nodded straight, meaning she wanted to go too.
Zhulan pinched Yudie's nose, "It's useless for you to act like a spoiled child."
The last time I went, I almost didn't frighten Zhao to death. Her soul was about to fly. The Hu family was empty. Even if Hu Xia sent the servant and the girl over, the Hu family's yard was still very empty. There were not many animals in this person. Especially snakes waking up from hibernation.
The last time the two little girls went there, they couldn't be idle, they ran around, but when they saw a small snake, Yudie was not afraid. The girl who followed was frightened. The Zhao family in the distance, Zhao family almost fainted.
As a result, not only did the Zhao family go out without Yudie, but Yuyi did not dare to bring it, because she was afraid that something would go wrong and she would not be able to explain to Chu Chu.
Yudie didn't want to stay in the mansion, she wanted to go out, "Grandma, grandma."
Zhulan didn't soften her heart, "I'm too used to the two of you. Since you're so energetic, I'll start learning the rules tomorrow."
Of course, this is to scare the two granddaughters. The two children are still young, and it is good to be able to count. It is too early to recognize words and learn the rules.
Yudie didn't dare to say a word anymore. Her brother wrote every day and taught her simple things, but she still couldn't remember it. She shook her head like a rattle, and pulled Yuyi to run out.
Seeing that the two little girls didn't fall, Zhulan said to Mrs. Song, "How can Yudie look like a girl, I think she is more naughty than Minghui."
Madam Song also felt that Miss Yudie was lively, "It means that Miss is healthy."
Zhu Lan said, "There are a lot of girls in the family, everyone has their own temperament, Yuwen, this girl can already talk, she is not like Su Xuan at all, she doesn't speak if she can't speak, I'm in a hurry Just one word."
Having said this, Zhulan laughed herself. The little grandson Mingjia looks very much like Su Xuan. Ever since he started talking, Xiaozui has never been idle. He has been taught a lesson by Yuwen every time. a slap.
The dragon and phoenix are very fun at this time. Mingjia has been walking around to explore, but Yuwen can lie down and never sit. Every time Mingjia goes to the ground, Yuwen looks on her stomach.
In the palace, Zhou Shuren has entered the palace too many times in the past six months.
The emperor leaned on the chair, the window behind him was open, and the air in the hall was well-ventilated and not too hot, "This year has gone by so fast."
Zhou Shuren had listened calmly enough to hear the emperor say that he was old, and his heart couldn't wait to beat, "It's really fast, the little granddaughter of the minister has been a hundred days in the blink of an eye."
The emperor smiled and said, "In a few months, you will marry your daughter."
Zhou Shuren said in his heart that he made you happy, knowing that your youngest son was about to get married, "Yes, I am very reluctant to part with it."
The emperor didn't have a daughter, so he couldn't feel it. He smiled, "It's not too far away, there's nothing to bear in the capital."
Zhou Shuren was speechless, standing and talking without back pain, but said: "What the emperor said is."
The emperor's thoughts wandered a bit. For the first time in so many years, he didn't worry about money. The treasury had money. Even if he spent a large amount of money, the treasury's savings still made him feel at ease. Except for a few unhappy sons, government affairs were still easy. , "I remember Aiqing's achievements in the Ministry of Household."
Zhou Shuren's heart moved, he wanted to ascend again, and then he stopped thinking, it was impossible, the promotion was too fast, "What should be done within the minister."
The emperor smiled, "I really like your temperament."
Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "I also like my character."
He speaks more easily now, but he feels that the emperor should reward him. He has been chatting with him for the past few months and has helped the emperor relieve a lot of pressure!
Zhou Shuren thought of this, every time he entered the palace, the crown prince and Eunuch Liu were very enthusiastic, and he secretly thought that even if the emperor was very rational, but when he was old, the emperor was a little powerless, and his emotions would be exposed.
Therefore, the emperor not only rarely sees ministers alone, but also rarely sees several princes. It is said that he does not go to the harem.
The emperor asked again: "Your second son has been gone for half a year, so you don't care about it?"
Zhou Shuren replied, "My minister is concerned, the sea is fickle, and sometimes I have nightmares. Either the boat capsized or something happened to Changyi abroad. It wasn't until Changyi sent me a letter a few days ago that my heart became more at ease. ."
He didn't lie, he really had a nightmare. He didn't recover for several days. Fortunately, he got a letter back. As a result, the kid didn't come back with the Xu family's fleet. He stayed abroad and said he would come back at the end of the year.
The emperor thought about foreign countries, and there were no people in many places. He also thought that with the prosperity of sea trade, there are more and more courageous people, some who have found gold, and some who have returned empty-handed and bankrupt. There are too many people, and there are areas in Pinggang, all of which are foreigners.”
Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt that this was not good. If he bought the house, he could keep it, but it was not good. Moreover, he felt that he had lost too much money into the treasury. He was a money keeper!
Don't look at the emperor very casually, his eyes have never left Zhou Shuren, and he scolded the old fox in his heart. He has long discovered that if he doesn't take the initiative to dig, the old fox likes to lie still, "Aiqing has something to say, there is only you and me here. The two kings and ministers."
Zhou Shuren said in his heart, the UU reading is a big deal. He had thought about it for a long time, but he cursed in the eyes of the emperor. Sure enough, he was too relaxed. The emperor must have been deliberately doing it for a few months. To lower his defenses, it must be, seeing that the emperor never relaxed at all, "I do have some ideas."
The emperor hummed, his sitting posture changed, "You said."
Zhou Shuren organized the language in his mind and said: "With the development of sea trade, foreign countries will know the richness of the mainland. In the past two years, there have been many gold rushes and settled down. This is evidence that although the imperial court has controlled the number of settlers, there are also a lot of them secretly. Even if you send someone to watch, there will still be flaws, so I wonder if it is possible to issue residence permits for these foreigners, with different levels of residence permits, different levels of silver will be paid every year, and the purchase of houses and shops will be controlled according to the level of the residence permit. Wait, as for the land minister, he feels that he is not allowed to buy it, and he can rent it, but it can only be rented once a year."
Zhou Shuren paused and continued: "There must be laws for foreigners, or when applying for residence permits, it is clearly required to abide by the laws of our country, and foreign businessmen must also apply for foreign business licenses, and guarantees are required, which can avoid some Foreigners run away after cheating money."
When he was in Jinzhou, there have been several foreign packing merchants who cheated the goods and ran away. There are so many cheaters.
