Time passed quickly, Zhang Yang's child was taken into the palace to be raised, and he didn't dislike any waves, Zhang Yang became more and more low-key, nestling in the fifth prince's mansion all day long.
Changzhi also finally returned to Beijing. When the carriage arrived at the gate of the capital, Changzhi felt relieved, "Finally home."
Su Xuan was even more excited than Chang Zhi, "This time the Zhou clan has fought hard, and there are four candidates."
Changzhi leaned on the lady's shoulder, "My big three yuan is gone."
Su Xuan patted Xianggong on the shoulder. When she heard the ranking, the expression on Xianggong's face about to cry was so deep in her memory. She never thought that Xianggong's goal was so big, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, parents will not Those who know your goal, well, you said you want to take the No. 1 exam and go home, cheer up."
Changzhi hugged his wife's waist with both hands, "It's better to be a daughter-in-law."
Instead, Su Xuan twisted her husband's waist, "Hmph, if I hadn't held you back from bringing outsiders, you would have agreed."
Changzhi rolled his eyes, "I'm not stupid. I went ahead of us when I went to Beijing to catch the exam. If we go to Beijing so early, we'll go home. Didn't I just think about it? Shouldn't I just bring it back to Dad?"
The lady is good, her temper is too hot, as soon as she saw the other party with a girl, she got into the car and left quickly without giving him a chance to operate.
Su Xuan snorted, "My reaction was normal, but the trip to Pingzhou disgusted me to death."
Knowing that the Zhou family doesn't take concubines, she is still the head of the county. After the ranking is out, it will be good, and she will be sent to the concubine. Thinking about it, she will be angry.
Changzhi closed his mouth, as if he had lifted a pot that should not have been lifted.
The Zhou family, Boss Zhou was already waiting at the gate. When he saw the carriage, he went down the steps with a smile and waited. When the fourth brother came back, he hugged the fourth brother and said, "I'm going home, let my brother take a good look, the fourth brother is now He is also a master."
Changzhi's face froze, "Brother, stop patting me on the back, why have you grown so much strength in your hands?"
Boss Zhou laughed happily, "I have been in Zhuangzi for almost a year, so I have developed my hand strength."
Three other members of the Zhou family also came over, shouting together, "Uncle Changli."
Boss Zhou was the most familiar with Ming and Qing, so he nodded in agreement with a smile, and said to Ming and Qing, "The old patriarch has fulfilled his wish."
Ming Qing grinned, "Yes."
Mrs. Li had already brought his younger siblings into the yard, Mr. Zhou laughed loudly, "Come on, let's go into the mansion too."
Chang Zhi asked, "How is everything going on, Mom and Dad?"
Changli replied, "Everything is fine, you haven't seen my little sister's daughter yet, right? Today I know you're home, and my little sister has brought the child back."
Changzhi missed his lucky niece very much, "I brought back a gift for my niece."
In the main courtyard, Zhulan chatted with Changzhi for a while, and asked about the situation in the Ming and Qing clans. Changzhi introduced the other two, "Mother, this is Mingshan. He returned to the family later. These two It's Ming Qi and Ming Zhen, you know each other."
Zhulan took a few more glances at Mingshan. This young man in the clan is not very old, only twenty-six years old. It can be seen that Ming Qi is older, thirty-seven, and Ming Zhen is the oldest, forty-five. up.
Zhulan smiled, "Okay, okay, if your father hadn't been free, he would definitely welcome you youngsters in person today."
Counting Changzhi's four candidates, the chances of the four taking part in the imperial examination together are very high, especially Zhou Shuren made two big suggestions this year. The more people there are, the more people will stay.
Zhou Shuren often goes to the palace and has already got some news.
Then the Ming and Qing went down to rest, and only his family was left. Changzhi held Linxi in his arms, "My niece looks really good, she must be a great beauty when she grows up."
Zhulan smiled, Linxi was not afraid of how beautiful she was, and no one dared to miss her.
In the household department, Zhou Shuren looked at the list of merchants sent by King Liang, and said in his heart that if King Liang dared to act, he would choose someone to attack. Some merchants controlled by big aristocratic families, King Liang did not do anything, so he put down the list, "His Royal Highness will give the list to the minister Look, I don't understand."
Liang Wang was so sad that he wanted to die.
He actually wanted to ask Zhou Shuren, but he endured it, "Regulating merchants has affected the interests of too many aristocratic families, Mr. Zhou, you know it very well, right?"
Zhou Shuren said, clearly, very clearly, after the control, many black interests have been severely damaged, and no one is willing to cut their flesh. , just waiting for His Highness's action."
King Liang scolded the crown prince, and even scolded Zhou Shuren. This proposal was made by Zhou Shuren. The crown prince asked him to offend others. He could have imagined that he would offend all the aristocratic families. Slow, get used to money coming quickly, who would give up.
Liang Wang's scalp tingles when he thinks about it, the aristocratic family and the in-laws of the aristocratic family are constantly connected, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents.
Zhou Shuren looked at the dark-faced King Liang, relieved his anger, lowered his eyes, took out his list and pushed it over, "This is a merchant controlled by a big family, and I can only help His Highness with these things."
Liang Wang took the list and looked through it. Zhou Shuren was really careful. It not only recorded some merchants controlled by the aristocratic family, but also some ostensible transactions. "Master Zhou is bothering you."
Zhou Shuren listened to the sound of King Liang gnashing his teeth, which was very pleasant. He did it on purpose. Your Highness, these are what the household department should do."
Liang Wang calmly said, "I still have something to do."
He cursed again in his heart, damn it, Zhou Shuren has been an official for many years, and the Zhou family didn't control the merchants. The only merchant with a deep connection was the one who passed the Ming prince in front of his father. He had no reason to pinch Zhou Shuren.
Seeing King Liang pushed the door, Zhou Shuren patted his head, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handed me a letter this morning, saying that if I meet His Royal Highness, I will ask him to give it to His Royal Highness so that I can see my memory."
Zhou Shuren didn't read the scriptures. Although he was so curious that he didn't have the guts to read it, it's not good to know too much. However, from the look on King Liang's face when he tore open the letter, Zhou Shuren sipped tea, and he could guess something, it must be King Liang's background was overthrown by the crown prince.
Not long after King Liang left, Shi Qing came, and Zhou Shuren was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
Shi Qing closed the door, and there were guards outside the door, Shi Qing said: "In recent days, there have been a lot of tricks against the Lord's house, the Lord's house should be more careful."
Zhou Shuren accepted Shi Qing's favor, "I've made a note, you don't have to come here in person in the future."
Although Zhang Yang is shrunk in the mansion, the people behind Zhang Yang are holding back the big ones, and Shi Qing often sees Zhang Yang when he is not in use, but it is better to be careful.
Shi Qingdao: "The lower officials know what they are doing, and they will not arouse suspicion if they come here openly. In the future, the lower officials will have a lot of dealings with the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Zhou Shuren heard a lot of news from this sentence. Shi Qing will have a three-year assessment. In fact, some scholars with outstanding abilities in the Imperial Academy have already been divided up early. It seems that the Ministry of Commerce he proposed, Shi Qing wants went in.
Shi Qing is very happy, although he won't be reused after entering the business, and it is a relatively leisurely position, but he is already very satisfied.
