Chapter 1699： kindness

Zhulan really remembers that her son and granddaughter helped a girl back then, as if they saved a young lady, "!!"

Lin Xi blinked, "Grandma, do you remember it too?"

"I hope I'm wrong."

"That's right, it's Ji Rong!"

Zhulan thought to herself that Ji Rong was really miserable at the time, because she was bullied and fought back fiercely, "How did you think of it?"

Lin Xi said quietly: "I met the little girl from the beginning today. Ji Rong released the little girl's deed before returning home. Now the little girl and her parents have come to the capital."

Zhulan knew in seconds that the little girl's family was staffed by Ji Rong outside, "Does the little girl recognize you?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Well, it was dark and didn't recognize my face, but I remembered my voice, hey, I really don't want to have anything to do with Ji Rong."

Looking at Ji Rong, there is still a lot of tossing. If I knew it earlier, forget it, I would have helped if I knew it earlier.

Zhulan thought for a while, "If Ji Rong finds you, don't mention your little uncle."

The life-saving grace is quite a pit. If she chooses a daughter-in-law, she still prefers Miss Wei. Ji Rong is obviously being bullied and going to extremes. She and Shuren have been planning for the sake of their children and grandchildren. They don't want a daughter-in-law like Ji Rong. If you don't stop teaching people or something, this will ruin the future of the Zhou family.

Lin Xi, "I was the first to speak out, grandma, don't worry."

She knew that her mother and grandmother were optimistic about Miss Wei, so naturally she would not cause trouble for her uncle.

Zhulan, "Good boy, do you want to stay for dinner today?"

"Okay, I have to stay overnight."

"Your grandfather must be happy to see you."

Lin Xi likes her grandfather. Some people say that her grandfather is not good. In her heart, her grandfather is the most handsome. "Grandma, I'm going to find my cousin."

"Go."

After thinking about it, Zhulan was still worried. She called Chang Zhong, who was reading a book at home, to tell the story of Pinggang, and finally concluded, "You can avoid it if you can."

Changzhong didn't want to have anything to do with the woman, especially if he thought Miss Wei was good, "My son took it down."

The next day, Xuehan sent someone to tell Lin Xi to go back to the palace. After an hour and a half, Lin Xi came back.

Lin Xi, "Grandma, Miss Ji came to thank me, she didn't mention my uncle."

"Well, solved it?"

"It's resolved. My mother didn't show up. I went back to Ji Rong and waited for a while. I told her that it would be easy for her to keep it in mind. I didn't say a few words before I saw the guest off."

Zhulan, "Then why did you come back?"

Lin Xi spread her hands, "My mother knows, ask me the details carefully, I said that you wait for me to have lunch, and my mother will let me go."

Otherwise, the mother wants to ground her again!

Zhulan laughed, "Since you have lunch with me, what would you like to eat?"

"Eat cold noodles, the weather is getting hotter and hotter."

Zhulan also wanted to eat cold food, "The weather is really hot this year."

"Yeah, hey, this summer is sad."

Fortunately, there are not many masters in the Qin palace, and there is always plenty of ice.

Li Shi came in at this time, "Mother, this is Mingyun's letter."

After Zhulan read it, "He has an idea."

Li Shi smiled, "Ran Wan used to be like home, and the young couple will have a good time."

Zhulan shook her head, "This time it's serious business."

Li Shi was nervous, "What happened?"

Zhulan put down the channel: "Wu Ming always wanted the grassland people to learn Chinese, but the gentleman who taught the grassland people, Ming Yun thought of the orphans, and wanted to invite a few female orphans to teach the women of the grassland people."

Li has been to the grassland, "the grassland conditions are difficult."

The son is not short of money, and he receives things from the capital from time to time. The life is not very comfortable. The conditions of the people below are even more difficult.

Zhulan also knew that the orphan's current wages had to repay the debt, "I'll discuss it with Rong Chuan."

Li thought about his son again, "I don't know when Mingyun will be back."

"I won't be back in a while."

Mingyun grew up very fast outside. This is a condition that the capital cannot give. She and Shuren are relieved that Mingyun is the future of the Zhou family.

In the palace, the study was quiet. It was not that the emperor was flipping lightly, but that the emperor was reading very slowly.

Zhou Shuren was very stable in his heart. For so many years, where is the bottom line of the emperor, he can touch it almost, so he waited quietly.

The emperor sometimes frowned, and sometimes stretched his brows. After another cup of tea, he put down the book in his hand, "You have calculated every aspect."

Zhou Shuren glanced at the emperor and saw that the emperor's face was calm, so he said, "The minister's thoughts are still insufficient."

The emperor snorted, "Insufficient? I think it is quite sufficient. Businessmen can use improved technology by paying a patent fee every year. Do you know how much money the Ministry of Industry spends to improve technology?"

"My minister has always had an account."

emperor,"......"

Zhou Shuren said: "So the patent fee can't be set low, and it can't be a loss-making business."

The emperor hit the nail on the head, "Today's patents protect the interests of the court, what about tomorrow?"

Zhou Shuren, "Tomorrow will protect the emperor's people."

The emperor snorted again, "Officials and people, officials and people first, how do you ensure that the people's patents will not be robbed?"

People do not fight with officials is not to say, far away from the capital, he is sometimes helpless as an emperor, there are too many snakes in the land, and there is too much darkness away from the capital!

Zhou Shuren's eyes were burning, "So we have to improve it slowly."

The emperor was silent, and Zhou Shuren was also patient. After a quarter of an hour, the emperor waved his hand, "Go back first."

Zhou Shuren had already anticipated it, and before leaving, he said one more thing Your Majesty, there are many businessmen. If you don't want to lag behind, you will have to pay a patent fee. This is a lot of money, which can equalize the previous Ministry of Industry R&D accounts, there are many leftovers. "

The emperor, "Come on."

Zhou Shuren left without saying a word this time, and Changzhi also left at the same time.

Changzhi was thinking about the study outside, but he didn't dare to eavesdrop. God knows how nervous he was when the study door was closed, "Father, are you alright."

Zhou Shuren touched his stomach, "Does drinking too much tea count?"

Changzhi, "..."

Come on, he's worried for nothing!

In the study, the emperor sat and turned the bead string, his mind was out of control, thinking about the law, and then frowned. The Ministry of Industry has invested a lot in these years, and he has squeezed a lot of technology in his hands. The idea is indeed good, but it is also very involved.

Zhou Shuren left the palace, "I'll take you back to the Hanlin Academy."

Changzhi, "Thank you dad."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Have you been in the palace for the past few days?"

Changzhi nodded, "Yeah."

He entered the palace one after another with a lot of hot eyes, because he was there with his father, and no one said sour words in front of him. Thinking of this, everything he did was because of his father.

"Dad, you have worked hard."

Zhou Shuren, "??"

Changzhi said again: "Father, what did you and the emperor say?"

Zhou Shuren stared, "Don't ask."

He didn't say anything about this except his daughter-in-law, he always prepared it by himself.

Changzhi closed his mouth, "I'm just curious."

"Then accept your curiosity. If you really can't help it, I will help you tighten your skin."
