Chapter 1742： general

Latest website: Zhou Shuren put down his hand, stopped staring at his son, turned his head and asked, "You rarely have a rest, and you still have a lot of fun shopping?"

When Li Zhao saw that Zhou Hou was okay, he knew that he was teasing him, and pointed to the teahouse beside him, "Would you like some tea?"

"good."

The two went to the teahouse, and Zhou Shuren went to Wang Mansion to change into civilian clothes at the household department, and the civilian clothes went in without attracting attention.

Ordered a pot of good tea, and asked for some dried fruit to eat.

Zhou Shuren was not in the mood to talk much, eating dried fruit without saying a word, looking out the window from time to time through the glass window.

Li Zhao guessed a few points as soon as his mind turned, "Mr. Wang is not good?"

Zhou Shuren put down the dried fruit in his hand, "Well."

Li Zhao also sighed. He was sick and sick when he was old. "There will be a day."

Zhou Shuren didn't know if he could be like Mr. Wang, so he didn't want to talk about it and ask, "You haven't said why you went to the street?"

Li Zhao replied, "I made an appointment in the morning."

No one said anything about the appointment.

Zhou Shuren didn't get to the bottom of it, instead he pointed to the teapot, "I've poured a belly of tea, can I still drink it?"

Li Zhao rolled his eyes, "Sometimes I really don't like your words."

Zhou Shuren felt a little better, "There will be a silver reward at the end of this year."

The emperor took the initiative to mention it, because he was afraid that he would not give the money, so he persuaded him for a long time. Although he was also in pain, he knew in his heart what he should give this year.

Li Zhao asked, "How much?"

Zhou Shuren replied, "According to the official salary equivalent to silver, there is a salary for three months."

Li Zhao calculated, "Yo, you are so generous this time."

Zhou Shuren was also very painful, "The prince has the eldest son, the emperor is happy."

Li Zhao stroked his beard, "Sure enough, he found his fortune."

The emperor would not be so generous if he didn't seize the money from his home.

Zhou Shuren said: "There is also the dedication of Yong'an Guo Gongfu."

Li Zhao laughed and said, "Yes, yes, there is also half of the wealth of the Guo Gongfu, tsk tsk, the old Guo Gong was really greedy back then, and he stayed on the line, he was like a locust when he crossed the border."

A tone full of irony.

Zhou Shuren's heart is indeed like scraping the ground. Half of the net worth of the Duke's mansion is even more remembered by the emperor. He took so much money and won the title, but you actually left the emperor and forgot who gave you everything, "Now the world Everyone knows the wealth of the imperial government."

Li Zhao thought that the newspaper had deliberately left an empty page to write about half of the net worth donated by the government, and couldn't help taking a breath, "It's cruel enough."

Where did the money come from, Jiangnan, the emperor preached it, like a blunt knife cutting meat, the newspaper gave the Jiangnan aristocratic family a signal, oh, the national government is not enough, the hatred that has been suppressed for many years can be reported.

Zhou Shuren didn't sympathize with the Duke's mansion. The Duke donated half of his family property to ensure his life, but the emperor won't let you go. If you donate all of it, the emperor can't touch you, you can only pinch your nose to admit it.

Zhou Shuren and Li Zhao chatted for half an hour before they separated, Zhou Shuren was in a better mood.

In the Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan was seeing Jiang Ling and Shao Xun, and the two had officially engaged in the academy. Today, Miss Jiang brought Shao Xun as a New Year's gift in person.

Shao Xun was restrained. It was the first time he had come to the Hou residence when he interacted with the son of the Hou mansion.

Zhulan motioned for the two to sit down, "You still come here in person, what a cold day."

Jiang Ling said: "If there is a carriage that keeps the wind out of the cold, you have been taking care of the little girl, and the little girl should have brought it in person."

Zhulan motioned Qingxue to bring the prepared list, "It just so happens that you are here, so I don't need to send it on purpose."

Jiang Ling took the list, "Thank you, Madam, for thinking about the little girl."

Zhulan likes Miss Jiang, "Stay and dine with me later."

Jiang Ling responded with a smile. She used to work hard to maintain the relationship between Zhouhou's mansion for herself, but now she wants to maintain her marriage for her husband. She knew that his wife liked her generosity, and she always acted with a sincere temperament.

After the meal, Jiang Ling and Shao Xun left the Hou residence and returned to the carriage. Jiang Ling read the list, which were all hard-to-buy food items, as well as some books, "Look at it."

Shao Xun was embarrassed, "I won't watch it."

Only after getting married did he know that his fiancee had a big house and a shop, and he also knew why his fiancee hurt his eyes. He admired his fiancee's perseverance, and he admired it even more after knowing the reason.

Jiang Ling smiled, "Here is the book that the lady gave you."

"For me?"

Jiang Ling pointed to the books on the gift list, "These books are for the imperial examinations, and I don't take the imperial examinations."

Shao Xun's eyes widened a lot, "I took your blessing."

Jiang Ling didn't think so. The Hou residence would not take care of Shao Xun when she took care of her. The concern for Shao Xun should come from Shao Ting, but it couldn't be said.

Time flies fast, and as the end of the year approaches, the carriages for New Year's gifts on the street can no longer attract attention.

On this day, Lin Xi came to the Hou residence, followed by this young general, Zhu Lan smiled when she saw it, "Jiaqing is back."

Lin Xi sat next to her grandmother, "Look, he has changed too much."

Zhulan looked at it carefully, "It's true that the change is not small, and the person is taller and stronger."

Lu Jiaqing greeted him, "Hello, old lady."

Zhulan pointed to the chair, "Don't come and sit outside."

Lu Jiaqing sat down, "I came to Beijing yesterday, and the kid gave the old lady some skins. It's not some precious skins, it's all the kid's heart."

Lin Xi answered, "His cavalry and archery are very good. Yesterday, he competed with the guard leader of the palace. My father said that he was born a military general."

Zhulan smiled, "Well, now you have the aura of a general."

Then he said to Lu Jiaqing, "How can I not like the thoughts you brought."

Lu Jiaqing rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Chang Zhong came in, "I can't even recognize you, you've changed too much."

Lu Jiaqing smiled, "You've changed a lot."

Chang Zhong, "Only you are allowed to grow up."

This year, he has grown very fast, and he is very satisfied with his current height.

Lu Jiaqing, "Gestures for a while?"

Changzhong sat down and shook his head, "You are bullying people."

He gave Lu Jiaqing things from time to time, how could he not inquire about him?

Lin Xi, "little uncle, he's amazing now, don't compare him."

Changzhong clicked his tongue twice, "It's useless to stimulate the generals."

He knows how much he has, so he won't go up to seek abuse.

Seeing that the girl brought the fruit, Zhu Lan greeted her, "Don't just talk and eat the fruit Changzhong prefers frozen pears, the house is dry and hot, and eating frozen pears is comfortable, and she motioned the girl to bring a few up.

Zhulan listened, "You are greedy for the cold because of your young age."

Changzhong laughed, "It's okay if my son is a man."

"Then don't eat too much cold."

After a while, Mrs Li came over, "Linxi is here."

Lin Xi got up, "Auntie."

Zhulan asked, "Is there something wrong with your expression?"

Li nodded, "Yu Lu sent someone to send the news, the old man of the Wang family is not well."

Zhulan knew, "Yu Lu's in-laws have come to Beijing."

Li said, "It will take a day or two to get to the capital."
