In a blink of an eye, the imperial court released the annual holiday. On the second day of the annual holiday, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Lord Yu brought his two sons to visit.
The Zhou family received a post from the Yu family before their annual leave. Zhou Shuren took his eldest son and grandson to wait in the front yard early in the morning.
Lord Yu said in a thankful tone: "Xiaguan thanks Lord Hou for making the siege."
Zhou Shuren also pondered the reason for the official visit of Yu Jiadi's post, and suddenly said: "It's been a long time."
Lord Yu said embarrassedly, "It's all my fault for the procrastination."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Don't put everything on yourself, no one can predict that I will be seriously ill."
Lord Yu exhaled, and Zhou Hou really understood, "Xiaguan knows that Lord Hou likes to play chess, and it just so happens that there are chess records in the family, please don't dislike it."
Zhou Shuren was silent for a few seconds. The chess book, the Emperor Taishang himself also wrote the scene of pulling him to play chess. He has been thinking about writing an autobiography for the past few days, and said with a smile: "I like it, these two are your eldest son and second son. son?"
Lord Yu, "Yes, these are the two direct sons of the lower official, the eldest son and the grandson-in-law of Hou Ye participated in the imperial examination at the same time."
Zhou Shuren naturally understood that the eldest son of the Yu family stayed in Beijing, but the emperor deliberately stayed, "That's a coincidence."
Yu Yueyang kept his face sullen, and when Lord Hou looked at him several times, he almost smiled in return.
When Lord Yu saw Lord Zhou looking at his second son, he introduced, "This is my second son. This year, the fifteenth child is already a scholar."
Zhou Shuren, "This face is a little tender, it really doesn't look like fifteen."
Lord Yu is not surprised by the casual tone of Zhou Hou's tone, a fifteen-year-old scholar is not uncommon in an aristocratic family, "Yeah, this child is young, so the lower official wants to sharpen his temperament and wait until he is in his twenties. go to the imperial examinations."
Zhou Shuren said in his heart, this child is not like twenty years old, "It's not easy for a father to worry about his child."
Lord Yu heard that he felt the same way. Lord Zhou also planned for several sons. Otherwise, there would be no place for Lord Tuesday's official position in the Ministry of Rites.
Because the second son of Yu had a good face, Zhou Shuren inevitably took a few more glances. Just as he was about to look away, he saw the boy smiling. The pair of dimples made him look younger. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then saw Master Yu with a blank face. .
Zhou Shuren was delighted, "This child actually has two dimples. It's the first time I've seen such a big dimple."
Yu adults are very tired, "Yeah."
The lady has a dimple, and his mother also has one. This child is the president, and both of them inherited it. Don’t look at it as the second son. The second son is the most favored at home. , I also release water to my son's smile, hey!
Mingyun knows grandpa a lot. Grandpa is very interested in the second son. Ahem, he can hear Mingrui say that this son also likes sweets, so he tapped the palm of his hand and saw the little son's gaze from time to time on the table. Aim for dessert.
Mingyun thought to himself, his younger brother was either a shrewd fox or a sly-faced traitor, and there was no younger brother so cute.
Mingyun, "!!"
A boy is cute, what a match!
Zhulan didn't know about the front yard. She was replying to her younger son, who couldn't go back to Beijing for Chinese New Year. It was the first time he had been away from home for such a long time, and his younger son felt homesick.
Changzhong said that he learned a lot from Wu Ming's side, that he has grown taller and so on.
Zhulan wrote the letter and put it in an envelope. The letter could not be sent away until a year later. She also wanted to let the little servant have a good year.
Mrs. Li came in with the maid, and Zhu Lan said, "What are you doing here? I brought two food boxes."
Mrs. Li motioned for the girl to put the food box on the table, open it and take it out in person, "Mother didn't say that the soup I made last time was delicious, but I specially cooked the soup for you and Dad, and there are a few more to relieve boredom. snacks."
Zhulan felt warm in her heart, the soup and snacks she and Shuren drank these days were all made by Li's own hands, without the cook's hand at all, "I said that your father is ready, and you don't need to do it. "
Mrs. Li sat down and said, "I found that my parents still love the food I made. If you didn't let me take care of the three meals, I would definitely come to the small kitchen to cook for you and my father every day."
Zhulan, "There is a cook in the kitchen, and it's enough for the mother to know your heart."
"Then my daughter-in-law is not good at cooking either."
This was the first time she insisted on this. She must feed her parents fat, otherwise, she would not feel at ease.
After lunch, Zhou Shuren came back from the front yard, Zhu Lan said, "You're very happy to see you."
"Well, I told you that the second son of Yu is a very interesting child."
Zhulan was very curious, "Let's talk about how interesting it is."
Zhou Shuren said what he saw, and then said: "The information given by the emperor is still not detailed, what he likes, and what he looks like."
Zhulan, "...the words of conscience are quite complete."
Zhou Shuren smiled again, "Did you not know that the squirrel mandarin fish was placed in front of this child, I saw the child want to stretch out his chopsticks several times, but he changed direction."
Zhu Lan's eyes were full of smiles, "It's hard for him."
Zhou Shuren said again: "Here there are several concubines for the adults The concubine is the youngest son, and there are several concubines."
Zhulan, "The news from the emperor, the back house is fairly peaceful."
Zhou Shuren snorted, the news of the emperor's investigation would not be false, and there was nothing filthy in the back house of the Yu family, the rare harmony between wives and concubines, and Mrs. Yu's wife was considered to be very generous.
The joy in Zhulan's heart was gone, "So don't be in a hurry, wait until I meet the lady Liu Shi."
Whether it is true or false, we will know at that time.
Zhou Shuren felt that he was married, and Yu Yi could squeeze the second son to death, but he was not in a hurry.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Steward Ding hurried to the main courtyard early in the morning, "Master Hou, Madam, the Prairie Ege Ministry has sent a New Year's gift here."
Zhou Shuren, "Huh?"
"Things are right at the door, and the little ones didn't dare to pick them up."
Zhou Shuren and Zhulan looked at each other, it's going to be New Year's Eve, why did he suddenly give Zhou Fu a gift, "Who is going to give the gift?"
"The little prince of the Russian Ministry."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, wishing to invite him into the palace to intercede with the New Year's gift? The emperor asked them to resign from the king, but these people did not move at all. If he remembered correctly, the Oge tribe was the tribe of Princess Aruna in the harem.
Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "Let the prince go to see him."
Butler Ding got the words and left, and Zhulan said, "They want you to intercede?"
Zhou Shuren frowned, "It should be, the Zhou family is in the limelight, and I think I can influence the emperor's thoughts."
These people still don't want to give up the king!
Boss Zhou felt a little silly after hearing Butler Ding's words, "I'm going to see the little prince?"
Butler Ding, "Yes, uncle, you are now the prince."
The housekeepers of these important officials are the most well-informed. These prairie princes have taken it seriously. The Hou Ye used the little prince to train the uncle!
