Chapter 1609： stay out of the palace

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he was relieved. Yang's ability to manage Zhuangzi so well shows Yang's ability. Recalling the scene of the orphan in class, thinking of this, his hand turned the string of beads again.

Zhulan motioned to Qingxue to bring the ledger, and put a box of ledger on the open space. With the sound of opening the box, there were volumes of thick ledger.

Zhulan pointed to the ledger and said, "All the ledger that Master Liu wants to see is here, please, sir."

Mr. Liu's eyes were dull for a moment, which was too much.

The emperor said, "Aiqing's account book is in front of you, don't be in a daze."

Mr. Liu took a deep breath and wanted to find someone to watch it with him, but Mr. Wen stared at the tea in the cup and didn't look up. The other adults were chatting, but they didn't look at him anyway.

Mr. Liu stretched out his hand and picked up a copy of the account book. The accounts in the account book were clear and clear. He was still serious about looking for faults. ?"

Zhulan replied succinctly, "No, Lord Hou's mind is all about errands, and he doesn't have any extra energy to help me."

This is the truth. Shuren faces the ledger every day, and she just wants to relax when she returns to the house. She doesn't need to help, and Shuren has never intervened.

Mr. Liu was startled, he picked up a few books and flipped through them again. This time, he read faster and faster. He squeezed the account book with a slight force with his fingertips, and finally stopped reading, "The old lady's account is clear, and the old man admires it."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, so she said she was an old fox. She had face when she needed it, and said nothing when she didn't need it. She admired her generously, and Mrs. Liu found herself a step.

Zhulan said modestly, "I also remember the accounts better."

The prince just flipped through a few books, raised his head and remained silent, the old lady was really humble.

The emperor said at this time, "Old lady doesn't need to be humble. I have seen surprises everywhere today, all thanks to the old lady's credit. I feel a lot today and donate 10,000 taels of silver to the children, hoping that the children can learn something."

The money donated is intended to be used for education, not for food.

Zhulan is worried about the money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There is no donation from the emperor. She is going to sell livestock. "The court lady thanked the emperor for the children."

Now Zhuangzi's biggest expense is not food, but pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Now he has money.

The prince's heart twitched, the father's temporary intention, he would also bleed, who made him the prince, "donate 5,000 taels of silver alone."

The purse, which had finally been drummed, was deflated again.

Mr. Liu and others realized that the reason why the emperor only brought them here is here, and those who were hurting each donated a thousand taels.

Zhu Lan calculated the 23,000 taels of silver, and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you, lords."

She regretted that there were fewer officials coming today.

After seeing off the emperor and his party, Zhulan also returned to Beijing in a carriage.

When we got home, the money had been delivered to the mansion, and Mrs. Li picked it up, "Mother, a total of 23,000 taels."

Zhulan took out a thousand taels and handed it to the boss, "Give it to the manager of Zhuangzi to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

The rest of the money can't be used for the orphans in the capital, and the states have to send some of it. For such a cent, 23,000 taels is not much.

The emperor took the prince and others out of the capital to see the orphans, which had already spread in the capital. The next day, Zhulan heard a lot of news about her, all of which were compliments.

Zhulan knew in her heart that what the emperor was pushing behind was actually not much about her, but more about the study of the orphans of Zhuangzi.

There were a lot of rumors, which naturally attracted people's curiosity. As a result of curiosity, in twos and threes, they went out to the capital to check on Zhuangzi, but unfortunately they could not enter Zhuangzi.

Zhulan has benefited, her reputation is better, she will talk about her alone, instead of talking about Zhou Shuren and taking her by the way.

On this day, Zhulan was choosing materials in the mansion and preparing new clothes for the new year. When Qingxue heard the girl’s report, she stepped forward and said, “The prince has sent the news back, some people want to join Zhuangzi to watch the children study, they don’t believe in the rumors and want to see it with their own eyes. be true."

Zhulan continued to look at the materials, "Since there must be someone taking the lead in the joint name, what can the prince say?"

Qingxue continued, "Young Master Du's head."

Zhulan paused for a moment, then sneered. She thought that the Yongan government would take the lead, but she had no courage at all. She shook her head. After being ignored for many years, the government itself did not realize that they had already lost the most important thing. courage.

Seeing the old lady shaking her head, Qingxue said, "Old lady, the prince's servant is still waiting outside."

Zhulan replied, "There is nothing shameful about Zhuangzi. If they want to see it, let them see it, but they are not allowed to disturb the children's study. When you enter Zhuangzi, you must come according to the rules, and anyone who breaks the rules will be invited out."

Li waited for Qingxue to retreat, "Mother, these people won't cause any trouble, right?"

Zhulan chose the ingredients and motioned her to take it, "They are going to participate in the spring festival next year and don't dare to cause trouble. They are not just curious when they go to Zhuangzi."

Li Shi was puzzled, "Then why?"

Zhulan wiped her hands and said, "For the sake of the emperor, they want to see what the emperor cares about Zhuangzi, and want to find out something useful to prepare for next spring."

Mrs. Li, "So it is."

Zhulan laughed, "It's enough to lift your brain."

Of course, there are also those who study hard, and even if they are successful, they will not be reused.

The emperor prefers people who can do things, rather than those who study hard. This time, whoever takes the lead, the emperor must pay attention to it, not to mention that Du Gongzi is the cousin of the third prince.

Zhuangzi, Boss Zhou was drinking tea and waiting for his mother's reply. It was very cold outside. Boss Zhou invited everyone into the concierge, so as not to freeze anyone.

Boss Zhou is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, or the next Hou Ye, everyone dares not make trouble, even Duke Du is very honest.

Boss Zhou hugged the heater and didn't mean to open his mouth. He noticed that someone was peeking at him, looked at him out of the corner of the eye, and then closed his eyes.

Ji Deming's heart tensed. He knew the prince of the Hou family. The prince is very lucky He has given birth to several good sons and a good father. , The other party's words were not leaking, and they calmed them down with a few words. When he glanced at him just now, he didn't dare to look at each other, and he felt a sense of oppression.

Boss Zhou didn't know that Ji Deming had so many mental activities. He was the future Zhou Hou, and he already had his own momentum. This confidence was given by the Hou family, and no one dared to underestimate it over time.

The servant came back on horseback and entered the house, "The old lady said that you can enter Zhuangzi, but you are not allowed to disturb the children's studies. Everything is done according to the rules."

Boss Zhou got up with a smile, "Everyone, please."

Du Gongzi hurriedly returned the gift, "I trouble the prince."

Boss Zhou took the first step, "No trouble."

Zhou Houfu, the Ran family sent the post, Zhulan read the post twice, confirmed that she read a word correctly, and then put down the post, "The eldest princess actually stayed in Ran's residence and invited Yudie and a few people to drink tea."

Li Shi was surprised, "Why did you suddenly leave the palace for a short stay?"
