Chapter 1640： Peace of mind

Zhulan quickly browsed the letter, and the third son wrote, "Minghui is very popular in Ningzhou."

Boss Zhou, "Huh?"

"See for yourself."

Boss Zhou took the letter and looked at it, worried, "Mother, Minghui won't come back with the engagement."

Zhulan was drinking tea, "No, Minghui is smart!"

She has confidence in the children she teaches, and when her stories are told in vain.

Boss Zhou put down the letter, "It's not easy to be the prefect of Ningzhou from the letter."

If he is really afraid of the third child, he won't count his sons one after another.

Zhulan put down the teacup, "Emperor Tiangao is one of them, and the second is that the Zhouhou Mansion's power center is in the capital. For the noble family in Ningzhou, the Zhouhou Mansion represents the interests."

But I am not too afraid of Zhouhou Mansion. Zhou Shuren's good reputation is related to it. More so, as long as he does not make big mistakes, Zhouhou Mansion cannot do too much.

Boss Zhou was not happy, "Then let Minghui be counted?"

Zhulan was not worried, "With your third brother here, Minghui will not suffer."

Boss Zhou was relieved, "Hey, it's still useless for the son, the son can't help the third."

Zhulan, "It all means that Teng Lie wins, and you are the winner in life."

There is a father on the top, a few good sons on the bottom, and a princely title, tsk tsk, she is the envy of a mother!

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back a little late, and Zhulan asked concernedly, "Is the search of the house over?"

Zhou Shuren looked tired. He calculated the ledger for a day today, and his face became darker when he thought of the ledger. "I haven't finished copying it, and I will continue to search the house overnight."

Zhulan, "...how much is this embezzlement?"

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and patted the table, "A fifth-rank admiral, guess how much money you embezzled?"

Zhulan knew her husband, the amount must be huge, "Hundreds of thousands of taels?"

Zhou Shuren snorted, "Today, the ledger was found in the house. This fifth-rank general embezzled 180,000 taels, and there are countless antique calligraphy and paintings. No ledger was found, and no hidden money was found."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

It's no wonder that corrupt officials can't be stopped, and the wealth and silk are moving, and she is moved when she hears it.

Zhou Shuren was furious when he saw the ledger, "I worked so hard to save money for the treasury. Oh, these corrupt officials are good, it's really easy to get money."

Zhu Lan said quietly: "It's not all yours now."

Zhou Shuren's face improved, "I can do a lot of things."

Zhulan, "Your Majesty is furious."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "There is corruption at any time. The emperor will not be angry with corruption. The emperor is angry that the navy is corroded. You also know that the emperor Taishang and the emperor's investment in the navy will be cleaned up this time."

Zhulan, "It should have been cleaned up a long time ago, the pursuit of many years is gone, it is time to cut a few knives."

Zhou Shuren came back and talked to his daughter-in-law, his anger dissipated a lot, "Don't mention them, just eat."

When the food was brought up, Zhulan said, "Fourth Uncle's body is broken, and he won't be able to live for a long time."

Zhou Shuren paused with chopsticks, "Why did your body suddenly fail?"

Zhulan repeated what the imperial doctor said, "Fourth Uncle's age."

Zhou Shuren felt uncomfortable, "I'll go see Fourth Uncle later."

"Yes, the old man must be happy to see you. Yes."

Zhou Shuren had no appetite and didn't eat much, so he went to see the fourth uncle when his wife finished eating.

Rong Yuyu happened to be eating, and he was really happy to see Zhulan and his wife, "Why are you here at this hour?"

Zhou Shuren sat down, "Why do you hide that you are not feeling well?"

Rong Yuyu, "Although you are not reconciled, you have to go through life, old age, sickness and death. Don't be sad."

Zhou Shuren respected this elder, and he felt uncomfortable, "You must take good care of your body, and I will take you around when I am done."

Rong Yuyu laughed, "You can't go anywhere without the capital. Forget it, I've been to all the places I went to when I was young. If you're not busy, you can always talk to me."

Zhou Shuren, "Okay."

Rong Yuyu, "You also pay more attention to your body."

Zhou Shuren touched his face, "Obviously?"

"Obviously tired."

Zhou Shuren was really tired. Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, he went back to rest after a few more words.

The next day, Zhou Shuren went back to the household department with the prince, saw Zhuo Guyu waiting at the entrance of the government office, and looked sideways at the prince.

The prince raised his eyebrows, "Master Zhuo is waiting for you?"

Zhuo Guyu had been helping the prince to run errands yesterday. When he returned to the household department, the prince had already returned to the palace, which made him depressed, so he deliberately waited at the gate of the yamen today, "Yes."

Say more and more wrong than simple answer.

The prince said, "I didn't stop searching the house last night. Wouldn't it be better for Lord Zhuo to take a look again?"

Zhuo Guyu knew that the prince was doing it on purpose, but he didn't know whether it was a test or for the Duke of Zhou.

The prince waved his hand and entered the yamen, Zhou Shuren said in his heart, the prince deliberately said, "The prince doesn't like him?"

Prince, "I like it."

Who doesn't like to be obedient, it's just that he wants to grind Zhuo Guyu.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "If there is anything the prince doesn't understand, Master Zhang can't answer it, but you can save it and ask the old minister together."

The prince smiled, "Master Zhang is very powerful."

Zhou Shuren said in his heart that Zhang Jinghong was also a person who had fought as a prince.

On the street, Gu Sheng woke up a little late today. He was rushing to a painting last night, and just as he was thinking about painting, the carriage stopped, "What's wrong?"

The driver said: "Sir, someone stopped the carriage."

Gu Sheng's carriage was not big, a simple single-person carriage. Looking out of the carriage, he saw Du Gongzi and Ji Deming together. Gu Sheng had some scruples about Du Gongzi. Du Gongzi was the cousin of the third prince. No matter how transparent the third prince was, it would be prince.

Ji Deming, "Good morning, I heard that Zhuo Guyu is with the prince."

Gu Sheng looked at Du Gongzi, "I'm in a hurry."

Ji Deming, "Zhuo Guyu has an errand, so he is still with the prince. You have more news."

Gu Sheng didn't answer, but someone answered for him, "Master Ji wants to know so much, why not ask the client?"

Ji Deming scratched his head and saw Zhuo Guyu's carriage stopped, embarrassed, "Master Zhuo."

Zhuo Guyu glanced at Gu Sheng I have one more step ahead. "

Seeing that Du Gongzi was not going to the Hanlin Academy, he narrowed his eyes and motioned for Ji Deming to leave.

Ji Deming went to see Gu Sheng again, but Gu Sheng's carriage still left, Ji Deming couldn't help but said, "The news was revealed to Zhuo Guyu, why is there no news at all?"

Du Gongzi sneered, "I said it's not a test, Zhou Hou will not choose a poor son-in-law for the chief of Anhe County."

Ji Deming's smile was slightly stiff, but he still felt that Gu Sheng and Zhou Hou were too familiar.

In the Hanlin Academy, as soon as Gu Sheng entered the door, he saw Lord Zhou, "Why didn't you enter?"

Changzhi lowered his voice, "I think it's important to be normal, what do you think?"

Gu Sheng's mind moved slightly, but before he could figure it out, Lord Zhou had already entered the Hanlin Academy.

Changzhi repeated over and over in his heart that he was all for his daughter, for his daughter.
