Chapter 1351： candidate

Mingrui didn't look up, "Uncle, I'm almost done."

Changzhong took Mingrui's book and rolled his eyes, "Then don't worry about it for a few days, come, let's talk about how you feel after getting engaged."

Ming Rui blushed, but he still didn't forget to grab the book, "What does it feel like to be engaged."

Changzhong is not as big as Mingrui, so naturally he can't grab Mingrui. Changzhong wanted to divert his nephew's attention, but it was useless, "Don't push yourself too hard, you are working too hard."

Ming Rui tugged at the little quilt covering his legs, "I'm working hard now to make it smoother in the future, little uncle, you don't know that my father has to learn very late at home every day. Compared with my father, I don't work hard."

After hearing this, Chang Zhong stopped disturbing Ming Rui. He tucked himself into the quilt and didn't move. Ming Rui thought his uncle was asleep, so he saw his uncle stretched out his hand and touched a book, then sat up again and read it carefully. write.

Ming Rui opened his mouth to the mouth and swallowed it back. The two of them read the book quietly.

Zhou Shuren stood outside the window, looked at his younger son and Mingrui from the window, and stood for a while before leaving.

In the main courtyard, Zhulan wondered, "It's rare to come back early today to see the two children? Why did you come back so quickly?"

Zhou Shuren sat and took off his shoes, "They were reading, so I didn't go in to disturb them."

Zhulan said suspiciously, "This is not like you!"

Zhou Shuren changed his shoes, "Ming Rui worked very hard, even with Chang Zhong working hard together, these two children are very good together."

"I just think Mingrui is working too hard."

"Ming Rui is the one who knows what he wants the most. He knows that if he wants to get it, he has to give it twice as much. That's good."

He has many grandchildren in his family, and he pays more attention to Mingyun for his grandson, while Mingrui pays less attention to this child. The most understanding is that this child is very hardworking.

Zhulan, "Ming Rui is the eldest son of the second family. This child has a delicate mind. He loves his father."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "Next year the prince will travel for the emperor."

Bamboo Orchid got spirited, "Going?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, now that the main road has been repaired, the crown prince will patrol for the emperor."

Zhulan was surprised, "Didn't the Supreme Emperor make an inspection tour?"

Zhou Shuren explained: "This time it's not just an inspection tour, the emperor also wants to take the opportunity to let the prince visit the states in person and learn how to be a prince who serves the people."

Zhulan sighed, "The emperor's education is really good."

The prince who is high above and does not understand the livelihood of the people is always far away from the people, and what he hears is never as good as what he sees with his own eyes.

Zhou Shuren nodded, "It's really good."

The emperor himself has ambitions to open up the border. What the next generation of emperors need is the ability to govern. Now the emperor is training the prince to better govern the country, starting with understanding the people of the country.

Zhulan asked, "You suddenly mentioned this to me, shouldn't you just share news?"

Zhou Shuren hummed, "The emperor told me in advance that when the prince asked me for advice, he hoped that I would talk more about people's livelihood, and the prince would bring some people with him this time."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "The emperor gave us a place in the family?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, the emperor not only wants the crown prince to understand the people, but also hopes that the future children of major families like the court will also understand, so many families in the capital have places."

Zhulan understood, "You originally thought about who to go, but now you are hesitant."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Ming Yun has entered the Hanlin Academy, Ming Teng will not follow the prince, so I think about Chang Zhong, and Ming Rui let me ignore it."

Zhulan understood, "This time, the family must have chosen fifteen or sixteen-year-olds. Changzhong is young, so let Mingrui go. Mingrui has the least resources among the grandchildren."

There are Mingyun and Mingteng in the big room, and it is impossible to favor Minghui. The third room Mingling is still young, and the fourth room Mingjia is not too old.

Ming Yun entered the Hanlin Academy, Ming Teng could not follow the prince, and it should be Ming Rui according to the order of age.

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

When Zhulan and his wife talked, no one was left in the house. As long as the conversation started, the servants in the house would go out, and no one knew what the two were talking about.

It can be said that Zhou Shuren was the first to get the news from the emperor's mouth, and then others got the news one after another, and began to prepare in private.

The temperature is getting colder and colder, but there is still no snow, the cold wind has been blowing, and the people are worried about the next year.

Boss Zhou is not only in charge of the land of the big house, but also the land of the whole house. He is worried about next year's year, and his mouth is full of fire, "Mother, next year will not be a drought year!"

Li pooh a few times, "Good spirits and bad spirits don't work, don't talk if you can't speak."

To frighten people to death, but also the drought year, is the drought year better?

Boss Zhou was busy patting his mouth, "Good spirits and bad spirits."

Zhulan has never encountered such a winter scene in many years since ancient times.

Li said, "Mother said that it will snow when it snows."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

She just said it better, if only she could say what it was.

Boss Zhou was not happy, but worried that there would be no snow in the winter If it really snowed, it would cause a snow disaster.

At this time, Zhulan especially misses the modern weather forecast. Listening to the strong wind outside, Zhulan can't keep her spirits up. "You all go back."

The Ministry of Household, Zhou Shuren was also afraid of extreme weather, so he reassured himself after confirming that the supplies were all right.

The newly appointed Liu Shilang is naturally strong in terms of ability, and he is more impeccable than Mr. Wang in terms of dealing with people.

Liu Shilang said, "Your lord frowns, but are you still worried about the weather?"

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Liu Shilang said: "The imperial court has been well prepared over the years, and I have some experience in dealing with extreme weather. Sir, you can relax."

Zhou Shuren asked back, "Is the errand going well recently?"

"The household division is clearly defined, and the subordinate officials have adapted to the handling fairly easily."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "That's good, if you have any questions, just ask Qiu Yan, there is nothing he can't handle in the Ministry of Household."

Liu Shilang, "Yes."

Zhou's family, Zhulan saw her granddaughter Lin Xi, and she became energetic, "Da Fengtian, why did you bring Lin Xi back?"

Xuehan pointed to the basket that was brought in, "The fruit I bought has arrived. I'll send some to you and Dad. Linxi hasn't seen her grandma for a long time. This girl is clamoring to come over. I can't help but bring her."

Lin Xi, "Grandma, you don't want me!"

Zhulan smiled, "Yes, grandma misses Linxi."

Lin Xi grew up being pampered, and this girl is the only one who dares to sit in the arms of the Emperor Taishang to eat. There are so many people pampering her, and the child is not coquettish, which shows how good the little girl is.

Xuehan watched her daughter chat with her mother, and when her daughter said she was going to find her cousins, and when she left, Xuehan replied, "Mother, I'm not going to go out to Beijing with Rong Chuan next year."

Zhulan nodded, "Well, you told me, what's wrong?"
