In the capital, it has been a few days since the results of the township examination. Zhulan has been waiting for the results of the fourth child. Every day when Zhou Shuren comes back, she will ask that the list of the township examination will be sent to the capital. The official route is faster than the urgent letter of the fourth child.

Household Department, Zhou Shuren will not be in the morning court this month. As soon as he arrived at the Household Department, Zhang Jinghong waited at the gate of the house. When he saw Zhou Shuren stepped forward to congratulate him, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, you won the second place in the provincial examination on Thursday."

Zhou Shuren felt in his heart that his son would be the number one, so he has been very stable. He never expected that he was slapped in the face, but fortunately he responded quickly, "Thank you."

Zhang Jinghong smiled, "I arrived at the list in the capital early this morning, Master Qiu came back and said that the household department has already spread."

Zhang Jinghong really admires Mr. Zhou, not only he is good at studying, but also the son he taught is also very good.

Zhou Shuren was congratulated all the way, and when he returned to the office room, Qiu Yan was already waiting, "Congratulations, brother Zhou, today the prince specially read the top three names in each state in the court, and His Royal Highness specially said that adults teach children well."

Now the entire court believes that the prince will succeed to the throne smoothly. These days, he has tried his best to show his presence in front of the prince, so that His Royal Highness can remember that Qiu Yan really admires him. Even if the imperial power changes, Zhou Shuren will still be reused by the prince.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan said, "My lord is valued by His Royal Highness, and I hope you will support me more in the future."

Zhou Shuren complained in his heart, he really didn't want to be missed by the crown prince. The last book was clearly handed over to King Liang, and the crown prince kept him several times. The general framework is okay, but the filling is not enough. There are too many interests involved. Don’t think that merchants can really be weak and bully.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, he can give a frame, once he intervenes in everything, it will spread out sooner or later, it is not good to spread hatred, and he does not dare to really intervene. It was originally when the imperial power was changing, and he gave the idea honestly. good.

In the Zhou family, Xuehan was also thinking about fourth brother's grades. When her father-in-law got the news and told her, she went back to her mother's house, "Mother, second brother came in second in the provincial examination."

Zhulan, "Isn't it number one?"

Sure enough, it was a couple, and I was worried about it, but I still had confidence in Changzhi.

Xuehan choked for a while, knowing that her father-in-law was very happy when he got the news, and praised him vigorously that he would teach his son, and said weakly, "Is the second one bad?"

Zhulan coughed, "Not bad, very good, you also know that your fourth brother has been a scholar for many years and has never slacked off. Your fourth brother rushed to the first place, so I didn't get the first place in the exam. Surprised."

Thinking of the fourth brother's enthusiasm for studying, Xuehan inexplicably felt that the second meeting with the fourth brother was a blow, "Mother, the fourth brother will not be under pressure, I remember that the fourth brother will come back with a champion in the exam."

Zhulan naturally remembered, "This year's imperial examination is very intense. Your fourth brother returned to Pingzhou to take the exam full of confidence, and the result was second. In the coming year, all the prefectures will gather in the capital, and they will all rush to the champion."

Xuehan didn't know that her fourth brother wanted to take the college entrance examination, and now the first pass is gone.

Zhulan asked, "Linxi is still in the palace?"

Xuehan nodded, feeling very depressed, "I've been living in the palace for a while, I want to pick it up, Rong Chuan asked me to wait a few more days, mother, you said the empress would not take care of my daughter, right? Why are you beating the drums!"

She got angry with Rong Chuan yesterday, her own daughter still has to be raised by herself, it's depressing to say the least, she's not caring enough about the birth of her daughter, either grandma is guarding her or the empress is the empress, and her mother-in-law is on the sidelines.

Zhulan could hear some resentment in her daughter's tone, and patted her hand, "Rong Chuan will definitely do what he said."

Xinniang Xuehan, "Yeah."

At noon, Zhou Shuren treated guests very generously. His fourth child had good grades, so he deserved a treat, so he booked a restaurant near the household department and invited officials from the household department.

Zhou Shuren asked Mr. Xiao and Qiu Yan to go ahead. When they arrived at the restaurant, everyone arrived.

When the dishes were ready to be served, King Qi and King Chu arrived.

King Qi smiled, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, this king has heard the news, so I'm here to be happy."

The king of Chu said: "I just happened to meet the king of Qi, so I came here together."

Zhou Shuren's table went down immediately. Two officials from the household department, King Qi and King Chu took their seats. Zhou Shuren smiled, "It's my honor for His Highness King Qi and King Chu to come."

King Qi really wanted to make friends with Zhou Shuren. The last time King Liang returned to Beijing, he took the fourth son of the Zhou family with him, and he never went out. Come out, pick up the wine glass, "I respect Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Shuren had a taste, and he had to do some business, but in fact, the wine glass was full of tea.

The king of Chu smiled and picked up the wine glass and toasted. When Zhou Shuren put down the wine glass, he seemed to speak casually, "Since King Liang returned to Beijing, the fourth son has been very polite to Mr. Zhou. The last time I saw you on the street, Mr. Si actually gave way to Mr. Zhou, I thought I was wrong!"

This melon was a bit big, and the already quiet household officials all pricked up their ears, even Master Xiao and Qiu Yan looked sideways.

What can Zhou Shuren say? Can he say that Liang Wang didn't read the letter, because the emperor said he was a cousin, and Liang Wang regarded him as an elder?

Zhou Shuren said, "King Liang has a noble character, but his subordinates have important matters to do, so they gave way. I didn't expect His Royal Highness Chu to see it."

The king of Chu didn't believe it. He was very clear about the virtues of the younger brother he grew up with. The fourth child had laid hands on the Zhou family, so how could he suddenly change his temper? It's just that Zhou Shuren was very cunning, "Really, it turns out that Mr. Zhou In my eyes, the fourth child has such a good character."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "In the eyes of the lower officials, the princes have good character, and the lower officials have always seen it in their eyes."

King Qi looked at Zhou Shuren, who was neither blushing nor out of breath, and smiled, "Since Mr. Zhou appreciates me so much, I also want to communicate with him more, and I will visit him someday."

Zhou Shuren didn't panic, he used up the next month's vacation, so he said generously, "Okay."

Halfway through the meal, the guards of King Qi and King Chu hurried in, whispering something in the ears of the two princes.

Zhou Shuren's ears are very sharp, but his eyes are not so bright, hey, Zhang Yang can do it, the child who was just born a long time ago unexpectedly fell by the wrong hand today!

King Qi was stunned, reacted and stood up. Zhang Yang was a chess piece that his father was looking for from the Zhang clan. .”

The king of Chu also wanted to see it. Since he was honest, he has been following in the footsteps of King Qi. The more he pays attention, the more he knows that King Qi knows secrets that he does not know.

Zhou Shuren also wanted to go and have a look. It was a pity in his eyes. I hope the child is fine. This child is an important pawn of the emperor.

Xiao Qing coughed, "Everyone is gone, don't look."

Zhou Shuren, "...I have no intention of watching a play."

Xiao Qing, "Hehe."

I believe you will be surprised.
