Chapter 1133: A New Year

"Nongmen Granny's Destiny Road ()" Find the latest chapter!

The New Year in the capital is getting closer and closer, Zhou Shuren is resting at home, and King Qi has come to the mansion.

King Qi drank tea, "Master Zhou's tea is not easy to ask for. He said that he invited me to drink tea and wait until the end of the year. Master Zhou must have been hiding from me."

Zhou Shuren, "My lord was joking. You also know that the household department is busy all year round. Especially this year, the household department has added a business department. In addition, at the end of the year, the minister's Xiumu has been occupied."

King Qi put down his teacup, "Speaking of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Households has increased a lot."

Zhou Shuren, "...the income has not increased much, and the household department is still short of money."

Does he know that the Ministry of Commerce is only in the household department for one year, and the Ministry of Commerce will be separated out in the next year. It hurts to think about it. How happy it is to receive money this year, it will be so painful the year after.

King Qi suddenly said: "This king has discovered that your lord has a lot of secrets."

Zhou Shuren knew that King Qi had been staring at him all the time, and it was His Royal Highness Liang's attitude, which made King Qi suspicious, "Speaking of which, His Highness has a lot of secrets, no, it shouldn't be considered a secret. It's the end of this year, and I have heard a lot. His Majesty's rumors."

King Qi froze his expression. He was a flamboyant man. In the past, he had a competitive heart and was quite restrained. In addition, he needed the support of the princess, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Now he doesn't want to treat himself badly. He is more free.

In the past, the concubine still cared about the position of the queen and her son as the prince, but now the concubine doesn't care about it, and she's not polite to him. This time, taking a concubine caused a lot of trouble.

King Qi wiped his nose, and the concubine took the child back to her mother's house, and she said stiffly, "It's all rumors."

Zhou Shuren hehe, "Oh."

Zhou Shuren sent King Qi away, and when he returned to the yard, he saw his daughter-in-law frowning, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Lan handed over the two gift slips, "Look at it, the top one belongs to the Crown Princess, and the bottom one belongs to the Crown Prince's side concubine Liu. They are all important gifts."

Zhou Shuren looked at the gift list, the princess was born well, and her natal family was rich, so the gift list was thick and justifiable, but he said to Concubine Liu, "This is too generous."

This gift list alone is worth thousands of taels.

Zhulan, "I don't know what's wrong. When Xuehan went to the Prince's Mansion a few days ago, the Crown Princess talked about you with her daughter. Now, Side Concubine Liu has given you a big gift. I don't know why?"

Zhou Shuren had a bad premonition, and then frowned, "Forget about this gift, the annual leave will not stop, I will write a post to the prince."

Zhu Lan said, "That's not good, no matter what, she's still a side concubine, and she's still a side concubine with a son. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, that's the prince. If you just return the gift list to the crown prince, you'll offend people."

Zhou Shuren said: "This gift can't be accepted, it's better to stop it from the beginning. The gift from the crown princess represents the prince's mansion, and this side concubine is a bit too much."

"The people's hearts are still too impetuous. The prince's concubine can't stand it anymore before the prince ascends the throne."

Zhou Shuren, "Leave it to me, I know what to do."

"Um."

Zhou Shuren is efficient, he directly wrote a post to the prince, the prince hadn't sealed the pen yet, and saw the post when he returned home at night, the prince was surprised that Zhou Shuren took the initiative to write a post for him, you know, even if Zhou Shuren concealed it well, he still avoided him of.

Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren received the reply, changed his clothes and went to the teahouse the prince said.

Zhou Shuren arrived first, the tea was ready, and the crown prince also arrived, "I have seen His Royal Highness the crown prince."

The prince was in a good mood, "Sit down."

Zhou Shuren poured tea for the crown prince himself, and the crown prince was stunned for a moment, "My lord is too attentive this year."

Zhou Shuren smiled, then took out a gift list and handed it over, "I'm terrified."

The prince checked Zhou Shuren's post yesterday, so it's not surprising. He took the gift list and looked at it, and his expression didn't change. He was annoyed by the rumor last time, and he was still dissatisfied with the princess. If there is no princess, just ask. It will not be so powerful.

Speaking of it, it was the father who revealed the Zen position, and the princess was a little anxious. It was really wrong, he never wanted to accept Miss Wu, but his backyard was full of grass and trees.

Now the gift list, the prince feels that the beating on the backyard is not enough,

"Li Dangu took it back."

Zhou Shuren heaved a sigh of relief, but he still had to explain clearly, "I don't know what is worth paying attention to, and my heart is finally the emperor."

The prince understood that it was all because of him. He praised Zhou Shuren so many times, so the women in the back house naturally thought about it. He started to win over people before he ascended the throne, so he was really impatient.

Zhou Shuren and the crown prince didn't sit for a while. The crown prince was very busy. When he left the teahouse, he met Shi Qing. Zhou Shuren saw the old man beside Shi Qing, and the crown prince also noticed it.

Shi Qing hurriedly saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then he said: "The lower official has seen Mr. Zhou."

The prince asked, "Master Shi, is this?"

Shi Qing said: "I brought my father to the restaurant to drink tea."

The prince just asked a question, then got into the carriage and left, Zhou Shuren also left, Shi Qing said: "Have a cup of tea together, my lord?"

Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "Okay."

Then he went back to the teahouse and felt that Mr. Shi was looking at him all the time. Shi Qing hurriedly explained, "This is Mr. Zhou, the servant of the household department."

The future Minister of the Household Department, although he has not yet entered the Household Department, he knows a lot of news, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, Lord Zhou's official position will change.

Old Master Shi hurriedly said, "I've seen Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Shuren was very curious about the old man. Did he know that this man, who was locked up by Shi Qing all this time, was taken out of the door today. Seeing that the relationship between the father and son seemed to have eased a lot, "Shi Qing's abilities are pretty good."

Mr. Shi already knew that his son will join the Ministry of Commerce under his household next year, and he will be a sixth-rank official. From a merchant to an official, his son has gone smoothly all the way. He is still staying in the capital. He is very happy. Now that he sees the servant of the household department, he hurriedly said: " Shi Qing still lacks a lot, so he should not be praised by adults."

Shi Qing's tense nerves relaxed, it's about the future of the Shi family, father is doing well now, that's why he took the old man out.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan asked, "Why are you back so late?"

Zhou Shuren said: "I met Shi Qing later, so we chatted for a while."

"Zhang Yang is nestled in the Prince's Mansion, Shi Qing is also relaxed."

"Yeah, but Zhang Yang is still a bit abnormal. It's only been a while, and he has almost ten concubines!"

Zhulan didn't count them either, "Anyway, they haven't been broken, and they are all of low status."

Zhou Shuren's intuition told him that behind the abnormality was the big one.

Zhulan said: "The gift list has been settled?"

"Well, it's solved."

"Changlian's letter has arrived, take a look."

Zhou Shuren took the letter from his daughter-in-law, looked at the content of the letter, "This kid has a good year this year, and his level is superior."

"He also has troubles. They always say that he only has two daughters. You also write him a letter and tell him that his granddaughter and grandson are all good. This is fate."

She was afraid that if she talked about it for a long time, she would have a hint in her heart.

Zhou Shuren, "I'll write it right away."

This year's New Year is the same as in previous years. After the New Year, the capital is most concerned about Chun Wei. After the new year, Zhou Shuren's thoughts are also on Changzhi and the young people in the clan. Zhou Shuren personally guided the few young people in the clan to benefit a lot.

Time flies, the more you pay attention to Chun Wei, the exam day will come in the blink of an eye.
