After dinner, Zhulan remembered what she had forgotten and asked Rong Chuan, "Lu Jiaqing hasn't come back yet?"
The child walked on horseback, and it was time to come back soon.
Rong Chuan, "I sent the letter back to say that something has been delayed, and I have to wait for some time to come back."
Xuehan answered, "Mother, has the fourth brother sent a letter back recently?"
Zhulan used the chopsticks to put food for Xia'er and said, "I sent a letter back a few days ago. He wants to go to Lizhou City in Chuanzhou City, and then detour back to Chuanzhou to take the exam Qiu Wei."
Xuehan, "Fourth brother to see the uncles?"
"Well, it's rare to have a closer look, so as not to be too busy and have no time."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard to answer, "I wrote a letter to your cousin Wu Chun, asking him to select some veterans in the barracks who really want to retire, just for your fourth brother to bring back."
My children are getting older, and there are not enough guards to keep them. After all, the Hou residence has already raised quite a few people. These are all money, and it is still money that cannot be saved!
Rong Chuan said: "Dad, you need an **** to tell me, I will help you find your skills better."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "You are looking for a way out. The veterans selected by Wu Chun need a way out, and the Hou Mansion is a good way out for them."
Another point is that it is no problem to make Wu Chun's election all innocent, but the capital is not sure.
In Chuanzhou City, Chang Zhi and Qian Jiang were drinking in a restaurant. The two didn't enter the box. Qian Jiang said in a low voice, "It's not easy to invite Brother Zhou out for a drink."
Changzhi explained, "I'm preparing for the autumn season."
He didn't say he took the test, he was telling the truth, well, he didn't lie.
Qian Jiang narrowed his eyes, "Isn't Brother Zhou going to set off?"
Changzhi curled the corners of his mouth, "Well, I really want to leave."
Qian Jiang sipped his wine and said, "The capital is mixed with fish and dragons. Here I wish Brother Zhou's wishes come true."
Changzhi picked up the wine glass, "Brother Cheng Qian, Ji Yan."
Changzhi and Qian Jiang have always used the word Ziyu, so Qian Jiang still doesn't know his name.
Qian Jiang still had something to say, but in the end it turned into a sigh. Everyone has their own aspirations, and he thought about the foot of the emperor in the capital, no matter how dark it is, it will not be like Chuanzhou.
Changzhi suddenly looked down and checked carefully before confirming that he had read it correctly. The young man who came in was Lu Jiaqing. The boy sat down in a corner and looked at the air-conditioning. He wished he could freeze to death.
Changzhi has never received a letter from his family. Since he left the capital, he wrote to his home. How did Lu Jiaqing appear in Sichuan?
Qian Jiang shouted again, "Brother Zhou."
Changzhi recovered, "I was a little distracted just now, what did Brother Qian say?"
Qian Jiang said: "I said I want to see my grandfather, so I can't send Brother Zhou."
Changzhi, "Okay."
Afterwards, the two talked about something else. When Changzhi came downstairs, he couldn't help looking over to Lu Jiaqing's place, and then looked at the child.
Lu Jiaqing's hand holding the vegetables stopped. When he left Beijing, he didn't want to understand which master Mrs. Hou said was in danger until he heard that Master Thursday had become the examiner of Chuanzhou. It's for the exam.
After thinking about it carefully, he still didn't understand what he didn't understand. On Thursday, Ye was not in the capital for a long time. He also thought about whether he would meet him in Chuanzhou.
Since the purpose of Lord Thursday's visit to Chuanzhou is not simple, does he still need to bring back the things he wants to bring back? Does he want to see the Fourth Master secretly?
Changzhi thought that Lu Jiaqing would look for him late at night, but in the second half of the night, he didn't hear anyone barking, and when he woke up in the morning, his eyes were a little blue, and he didn't sleep at first sight.
Seeing this, Ding Jue said, "Sir, haven't you rested?"
Changzhi gritted his teeth, "Yeah."
Ding Jue, "..."
So it's not that I haven't rested well, I don't know who is angry with adults!
Outside the city of Chuanzhou, Lu Jiaqing touched the things in his arms. After thinking about it, it would be better not to meet each other, and handing it over to King Qin would make it easier for the emperor to see it. Jue set off for Beijing.
After another two days, Zhou Shuren was trying his best to move out enough money to set up a pharmaceutical factory. He was halfway through his calculations. There was a shadow on his head blocking the light, and he looked up and fell silent.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Aiqing, tell me how much money you have hidden?"
Zhou Shuren, "Your Majesty, do you want to scare the minister to death? Can people scare people to death?"
The emperor thought that Zhou Shuren was bold and pointed to the list on the table, "Tell me about this first?"
Zhou Shuren didn't feel guilty at all, "The deed of the house is indeed gone, and the list is about some antiques that preserve their value."
The antiques of the golden and prosperous times in the troubled times, now the country is stable and the economy is developing rapidly, and there is a good space for the appreciation of antiques.
The emperor thought to himself, this old man can really hide things, but he can't check the registration books one by one. He believes that Zhou Hou will not be greedy for ink, but this old man clearly has something in his hand. Every time he has a proposal, Zhou Shuren must first call out that he has no money!
Zhou Shuren felt that his luck was terrible today, and this was the last thing he put in the bottom of the box, "It's really gone."
The emperor's tone was puzzled, "Really?"
"Really, it's truer than the sun rising in the east. In the dream of a minister, it counts as money from the treasury. The minister's heart is bitter, and he can only create greater value on a limited basis. Is it easy for you to be a minister?"
The emperor coughed It was hard work. "
Zhou Shuren picked up the booklet and said, "The minister is stingy, but the money that should be given to the minister is not less than a penny. It is a major event for the medical department to set up a pharmaceutical factory to benefit the country and the people. After listening to the emperor's words, the minister will calculate the silver every day, and take all the money at the bottom of the box. Come out, look at the half-calculated abacus!"
Bah, it's as if he is relaxed, without him wasting money, ah, dream of implementing many of the emperor's policies!
The emperor was really afraid that Zhou Hou would pick his son to retire, "I watched it for a while and knew that you worked hard."
Zhou Shuren was satisfied. He just wanted the emperor to know his difficulties. Don't think he was omnipotent like a god. "Do you want the emperor to look at the list? The market price is available."
emperor,"......"
No, there are countless treasures in the palace, he really doesn't like them!
Zhou Shuren also said, "What is the important thing for the emperor to find a minister?"
The emperor was in a bad mood, "I want to go to Huangzhuang to see. Last time I said I would invite you to go with me, so I came to the Ministry of Housing and asked you to come with me."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to settle accounts anymore, he also wanted to go out and walk around, "The emperor waits for his servants."
With that said, Zhou Shuren recorded the number on the abacus, and then marked it on the list, and then got up to change into casual clothes.
The emperor waited for Zhou Shuren to leave, picked up the record booklet, and flicked the abacus with his fingertips. The emperor was also worried. Both he and his father were spoiled by Zhou Hou. Silver is annoying.
He also knows that Zhou Hou is old and will be the education of the emperor's eldest grandson in the future, but who will this household be handed over?
The emperor also looked for people, and then compared with Zhou Houyi, the emperor hoped that Zhou Hou would live a hundred years.
After Zhou Shuren changed into his casual clothes and came out, he saw that the emperor was looking at the account books on the shelf. The shelves were marked by categories, and they were all his records.
