Chapter 1613： engagement

Changzhong didn't want to go back to the mansion. Gu Sheng knew a little about Zhou Gongzi's temperament after several contacts. "Young Master, let's have a cup of tea together?"

Chang Zhong, "Okay."

Gu Sheng and eldest brother had just eaten at the opposite restaurant, and they came to the restaurant to relieve their tiredness and digest their food, because there were more sons of Zhou, and they chose the box upstairs.

Changzhong is not a person who likes to inquire about people's families. I met today, waiting for Gu Sheng's introduction.

Gu Sheng ordered some tea before introducing, "My eldest brother is twenty-four this year. He can't stay in the barracks and return home due to injury. His name is Gu Yan."

When Changzhong went upstairs, he found that Brother Gu Sheng was a little lame in his legs. He was left behind from the war and picked up the teacup.

Gu Yan drank the tea in the cup, "Young Master is serious."

He just obeys orders, is he afraid of going to the battlefield? He was afraid, afraid that he would die and leave his younger brother alone. Of course, he also has the heart to protect his family and the country, but a soldier like him is more selfish.

Changzhong is very sensitive to emotions, he smiled and did not continue to ask the battlefield, "This time Brother Gu is going to Beijing alone?"

Gu Sheng answered, "I wrote a letter to let the eldest brother come to Beijing. In the future, the eldest brother will follow me, and he will be where I am."

When Changzhong heard it, Gu Yan didn't even get married. Thinking of Gu Yan's legs, he looked at Gu Sheng again. He was grateful to his eldest brother as a father.

Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shuren had just arrived at the door when he saw his younger son jump out of the carriage and motioned for the carriage to stop, "You stinky boy, where have you been today? Why are you only going home now?"

Changzhong looked up at the sky, "Father, you left early again."

Zhou Shuren knocked on his son's head, "Take care of yourself."

Chang Zhong covered his head, "I went to the teahouse to watch the excitement, and chatted with Master Gu for a while."

Zhou Shuren was helpless, "When do you think you will grow up?"

"I've grown up, Dad, my son's expenses have been a little high recently, please support my son!"

Zhou Shuren clutched his purse and scolded, "Unfilial son."

Chang Zhong was not afraid, he pulled his father's sleeve, "Father, look at your son's purse!"

Zhou Shuren was determined not to let go of his purse, and even signaled his son to let go and not pull on his sleeves.

I've seen too much, I'm too lazy to read it, anyway, Hou Ye's purse will deflate.

The father and son went back to the main courtyard, but Zhou Shuren's purse was still pinched by his son, "Look at your son, neither big nor small."

Zhulan raised her head lazily, "That's what you're used to."

Chang Zhong smiled and said, "Mother, Dad loves me the most."

Zhou Shurenqing coughed, "I'm going to change clothes."

Only then did Zhulan raise her head and let the girl put away the paintings on the table, and tap her son's forehead with her fingertips, "Where have you been?"

Changzhong sat across the table, picked up the frozen pears on the table, "Delicious."

"Ok?"

Changzhong touched his nose, "My son knew that Zhuo Guyu was invited to the teahouse today, so he went to see the fun."

"You."

Changzhong took another bite of the pear, "My son thinks he is too eager to express himself, he seems a little impatient."

Zhulan thought to herself, because Zhuo Guyu was afraid that Chunwei would be suppressed, so she wanted to make her reputation better.

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and came out, "This is not smart."

It seems that the emperor is a man of favoritism. The Yongan government has been away from the court for too long, and the emperor's pulse has been banned.

Changzhong understood instantly when he heard it, and pointed to the sky, "The Duke Yong'an is afraid."

Zhou Shuren was satisfied with his son's intelligence, "Now it's winter and twelfth lunar month, don't go out recently, lest you get sick and suffer."

Knowing Zhuo Guyu's motives, Changzhong felt bored, "Well."

The next day, Zhou Shuren was announced to the palace. The Emperor Taishang wanted to see him. Zhou Shuren thought about it all the way and felt that because of the prince, he arrived at the palace of the Emperor Taishang.

Zhou Shuren, "..."

The days of the Emperor Taishang are really becoming more and more casual. In the past, there were incense in the hall, but now they are all roasting meat in the hall.

The Emperor Taishang waved, "Fresh lamb chops, you and I have two drinks at noon?"

Zhou Shuren sat on the chair brought by the palace maid, picked up the skewered lamb chops and grilled them, "Okay."

The Emperor Taishang stared at the charcoal fire, "I once thought that I would not be able to pass the New Year, but I didn't expect that I would still be alive and well."

Zhou Shuren was also surprised, "The Supreme Emperor is blessed with the sky, and he lives a hundred years."

The Emperor Taishang cheerfully said, "I don't want a long life. If God loves me, let me live until the prince succeeds the throne."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Covetous enough, the prince succeeded to the throne without knowing how many years he was young!

The Emperor Taishang said again: "I heard that Sun Wencai, the Duke of Yong'an Anguo, is outstanding and is very much sought after by people who are rushing to the examination."

"I heard it too."

The Emperor Taishang continued to flip the lamb chops with a blank face, "Isn't Duke Yongan looking for you again?"

Zhou Shuren knew the Emperor Taishang very well. Don't look at the Emperor Taishang's casual tone, but he didn't know how annoyed he was, "Ever since Duke Yong'an entered the palace, he never looked for his ministers again."

There was a lot of regret in his tone, he really wanted to fight.

The Emperor Taishang heard it, and finally had a smile on his face, "I knew you were going to me."

What Zhou Shuren still doesn't understand, the Emperor Taishang is not only annoyed by the government, but has already rejected it.

The Emperor Taishang said quietly: "Since the founding of the country, I have asked myself to be kind to the hero, and I have never thought of winning the title when I gave it the title."

Zhou Shuren's head was still lowered, and the Supreme Emperor was moved by the idea of ​​winning the title. Unfortunately, it is not easy to win the title. The Duke of Yong'an did not make a mistake.

Then the Emperor Taishang talked about other things, all about grain and seeds. After drinking wine together at noon, Zhou Shuren waited for the Emperor to rest before he left.

After leaving the palace, he went straight home, and when he entered the house, he lay down on the kang.

Zhulan smelled the wine, "Did you enter the palace to drink?"

"Well, I had two drinks with the Emperor Taishang."

Zhou Shuren took the handkerchief and wiped his face, motioned for the girls to go down, took off his clothes and lay down again and said, "If the Duke of Yong'an continues to toss, the credit for the founding of the country will not be able to preserve the title."

Zhulan's hand washing the veil stopped, "The Emperor Taishang is thinking?"

"Well I told me bluntly today. I think the Emperor Taishang has been thinking about it a lot recently. The more he thinks, the more memories he will remember.

Zhu Lan said, "I regret it too."

Zhulan added: "I heard Yuwen say that Wen Ling is different to Zhuo Guyu."

Zhou Shuren closed his eyes, "It's fine if old man Wen doesn't find out. Once he finds Wen Ling, he will definitely get married quickly."

It really made Zhou Shuren say it right. Wen Ling didn't wait for the Chinese New Year at the end of the twelfth month, and Wen Ling quickly got married. It was an aristocratic family from other places. This marriage was too surprising. When you enter the capital, you have to marry outside.

As the New Year was approaching, Yuwen came over with a post from the Wen family, "Wen Ling invited her granddaughter to tea."

Zhulan, "I heard she was grounded?"

She heard that Wen Ling got married and inquired about some news. The girl was confined in the mansion. Obviously, Elder Wen knew the thoughts of her granddaughter.
