In the days that followed, Zhulan rarely went out except when necessary. Day by day, the trial of Lord Lu's case continued, and more and more people were involved.
The emperor has a big intention to kill, and the family in the capital has been very low-key recently.
In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan received Feng Shi, Feng Shi should have been a generation younger than her, and whoever asked her daughter to marry her son became an equal.
Feng brought a lot of fruit, "My hometown sent it to Beijing, and I will give it to my wife and Hou Ye to try it out."
Zhulan likes to drink juice when she is old. It was a luxury in ancient times. In ancient times, honey and fruit were not cheap. She also received honey as a tribute.
Zhulan said: "Then I'm welcome."
Seeing that Mrs. Feng really likes it, she is happy. She knows that the Zhouhou Mansion is good, and she only understands how good it is when she gets in touch. It is too hard to marry a daughter from a high family, and her family is not respected. Sometimes even the servants dare to give it to her. Wink and so on.
All she gets when she comes to Zhouhou Mansion is respect, she doesn't need to please, just talk normally and feel comfortable!
Zhulan asked, "Why didn't you bring Xinyi?"
Feng shi replied, "She was in the rain the day before yesterday, so she didn't bring her here while she was eating soup."
"I'm sick, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better, she's still young and playful."
Zhulan smiled, "It's not too old, it's good to play at a young age, and I won't have a chance to play when I get married."
The folds at the corners of Feng's eyes deepened, "What you said is."
It is said that Mrs. Zhou Hou loves her daughter-in-law, and she is lucky to be a daughter-in-law.
Feng shi added: "There are a lot of people in the family recently, hey, the old man has been frowning his brows recently, and there are many wrinkles on his forehead."
Zhu Lan understood that some people ran privately to survive, some begged the Zhouhou Mansion to speak good words, and some coerced and lured soft persimmons. The Zhouhou Mansion was not afraid of offending people and refused.
Zhulan said: "It's better to be more careful recently, and try not to go out of the city if you have nothing to do. Hello, Master Wei can feel at ease."
Not afraid of 10,000, but just in case, in the face of life, the in-laws of Hou's residence can't control everyone, and there are always people who want to take the risk.
Especially knowing the emperor's thoughts, those who want to survive will think of many ways. Anyway, it is not a big mistake to punish the Nine Clan. They will be taboo against people who should not be offended, and those who have no backers are not afraid. It's a lot.
Feng Shi's face turned pale, and the master warned her to be careful recently, "I'll write it down."
Zhulan laughed again: "The capital is not more than ten years ago. In the capital, you don't dare to blatantly commit murder, unless you are really crazy."
Feng shi felt a lot more at ease, and the security in the capital was indeed good.
Zhulan also prepared a return gift, and because Xinyi was ill, she also approved some medicinal materials.
In the Ministry of Accounts, Zhou Shuren looked at the new bound account book, which contained five boxes, "Not bad."
Qiu Yan's face was numb, "Will it be too much?"
How many homes does this take? How many industries are recorded?
"I'm afraid that you will think that you are less prepared."
The money that the imperial court gives to the road construction every year is not much in a year, and it can’t stand the years. Moreover, the highlight is the money donated by the merchants. It is a place that needs tribute, and the merchants are very rich.
He can already imagine that the treasury is full, and he really got rich overnight by raiding his home.
Qiu Yan's scalp was numb, "Why don't these people want to live a good life!"
"Because of greed."
Qiu Yan moved his mouth, "Silver is indeed a good thing."
Zhou Shuren agreed, "Go get busy."
After a while the prince came, Zhou Shuren was surprised, "Why did the prince come to the Ministry of Household?"
The prince held two books in his arms, "Do you want to read it, sir?"
Zhou Shuren glanced at it, oh, the book of the Ministry of War, "I don't want to see it."
The prince knew that he would not ask, and handed the book over, "Sir, please read."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
So why ask him? Just give it to him directly.
The book from the Ministry of War was sent to the Ministry of Household for no other purpose. It was all about money. Sure enough, Zhou Shuren stared at it after reading it, "Change the armor?"
The prince nodded, "It's been a few years since the end of the war, and the armors used have never been replaced, and some should indeed be replaced."
Zhou Shuren closed the book and couldn't breathe with heartache, but he couldn't say anything to refute. In recent years, the money given to the Ministry of War has focused on cotton coats, etc. The armor has been used all the time, there is no way, the money in the treasury is limited.
Now that the Ministry of Housing is about to send it, the Ministry of War knows that the emperor is in a bad mood, so he also bites the bullet and sends the discount.
The prince cleared his throat, "It's not a complete change."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyes and said, "I can't get the money for the whole exchange if I sell the minister."
Unless the country is not good enough, he is too difficult.
The prince smiled, "No one can sell you if you sell it."
Zhou Shuren didn't feel happy, "Part of the money from the raid will be used to repair the dam."
He also wants to build a reservoir in a water-deficient state to minimize the harm of drought. In the past, there was no extra money, and every dollar had to be carefully calculated. Now the money is finally abundant, and my heart hurts!
The prince spent a lot of time in the Ministry of Household, and knew that the Ministry of Household was careful, "It's hard work, Lord."
Zhou Shuren looked at Zhezi, he really worked hard.
The prince sat for a while and asked him the question that he didn't understand. Zhou Shuren didn't hide the secret, the prince was puzzled, and this time was too happy.
Zhou Shuren said in his heart, anyway, I want to teach your son, in order for the prince to accept it quickly in the future, I will explain more to facilitate the future.
In the Imperial Academy of the Xia Yamen, Gu Sheng looked at the people around Zhuo Guyu with a look of indifference. Since the Duke's Palace donated half of the property, there were many more people around Zhuo Guyu after the shock.
Gu Sheng can still feel that someone's eyes have changed when looking at Zhuo Guyu. In the past, Zhuo Guyu was very generous, but he only thought that the palace was rich and noble. Now that he has seen the family background of the palace, he thinks that Zhuo Guyu is stingy and heart-warming!
Zhuo Guyu was impatient, the smile on his face did not change, and he had to talk patiently.
Changzhi walked up to Gu Sheng, "Let's go together?"
Gu Sheng, "Sir?"
"I'll give you a ride."
Gu Sheng said, "I want to tell my eldest brother um."
When Gu Yan arrived in the carriage and told the situation, Gu Yan said, "Then I'll go back first."
"good."
Changzhi took Gu Sheng to drink tea first, and Changzhi saw that Gu Sheng was a little absent-minded, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Sheng said what he thought, "Master Zhuo seems to have put a shackle on himself."
Changzhi, "He just integrated into the officialdom."
Gu Sheng smiled after hearing this, "Your Excellency is right."
Zhuo Guyu has ambitions, but he doesn't, so he will find obvious changes in Lord Zhuo.
Changzhi touched the teacup, "A lot of people have been following you recently."
This is the reason why he is looking for Gu Sheng for tea. Recently, Gu Sheng often enters the palace, and when he comes out, he is relaxed, and someone who cares can see it. Gu Sheng and Wu Gongzi are on good terms, and Zhuo Guyu can no longer hold back Gu Sheng's brilliance. , where do you care about Gu Sheng's reputation, not to mention that Gu Sheng's family is almost saved, and he has rarely sold paintings.
