Chapter 1298 Guests
Zhulan talked with her daughter at the Prince Qin's Mansion, and Princess Qi did not leave. She also ate meals at the Prince Qin Mansion, and Li Shi's pickles were served on the table.
Xuehan whetted her appetite and ate an extra bowl of rice porridge.
After the meal, Zhulan left with her granddaughters, but Princess Qi still did not leave.
Xuehan saw off her mother and looked at the second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law is here to tell me something?"
Princess Qi smiled, "It's true, I see that every girl in the Zhou family is doing well, so I want to be a matchmaker."
Xuehan was relieved when she heard the back, as long as the second sister-in-law is not for her son, she became interested, "Which family is it?"
Princess Qi said: "You and I have a good relationship, and I don't have any conscience. It's not my natal Wu family, but my sister-in-law's natal family, the Yun family. They all look good."
Princess Qi paused and continued: "Originally, my sister-in-law wanted to get closer to the Yun family, but the Yun family refused, and my sister-in-law asked me to be a matchmaker, but I refused. I met a few girls from the Zhou family today, and my heart is full." It's wide open."
Her sister-in-law was her second brother's youngest daughter. This niece is really bad, and she couldn't say anything to her niece. Back then, the sister-in-law still missed her son, but she didn't agree, so she missed her natal Yun family.
Her sister-in-law is the best at planning, and she wants to lend a hand in everything. She has never liked her sister-in-law.
The Yun family has been estranged from the eldest sister-in-law, and the Qi Palace and the Yun family have also become estranged.
She has to think about her son, now that the Supreme Emperor is alive, the Qi Palace is still the Qi Palace, no one dares to offend even the prince Xiaoyao, but the Supreme Emperor is gone, and when the Crown Prince succeeds in the future, the Qi Palace must maintain the current connections.
Of course, she was acting as a matchmaker sincerely, otherwise she would offend the two families.
Xuehan really doesn't know much about the Yun family, but she also remembered it in her heart, a good man should hurry up, "I thank my sister-in-law here, I will tell my parents later."
Concubine Qi knew it well, she knew a little about the Zhou family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law, and she had to investigate clearly.
Not long after Zhulan arrived home, she received news from Prince Qin's Mansion. Zhulan really had an impression of Yun's family, and she also knew Yun's family's daughter-in-law, Liu's, Zhulan was also familiar with.
Zhulan called someone to inquire first, and Princess Qi dared to speak, which shows that she has great confidence in the Yun family.
Nothing.
Zhou Shuren discussed with her that the Zhou family has already produced a princess of Qin, and their daughters try to avoid the royal family as much as possible, and the moon is full and there will be shortages. The Zhou family has enough for now.
Moreover, the daughter of the Zhou family, the couple did not want a marriage for profit, the prosperity of the Zhou family depended on men to be the right way.
In the evening, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren also mentioned the Yun family, "I don't have much information to inquire about, so you can inquire more."
Zhou Shuren, "The Yun family."
If Zhulan didn't mention it, he really wouldn't pay attention. The Yun family kept a low profile, so he took note of it.
Zhou Shuren said: "In the past two days, you help me pack my luggage."
"What, you want to go out?"
"Well, seeing the emperor today, the emperor wants to go to the navy for inspection, and the accompanying officials, I guess there will be me."
Zhulan frowned, "It's a hot day to go out."
Zhou Shuren squeezed his leg and said, "I don't want to go out either, but I want to see the navy with my own eyes."
This is the power of the sea. Whether he can have his own route in the future depends entirely on the navy. He hopes to see a strong navy.
Zhulan asked, "Will there be drills?"
Zhou Shuren crossed his legs, "I don't know, this is a matter for the Ministry of War."
He became Minister of the Ministry of Households, the head of a department, and he and Li Zhao also paid attention to avoiding taboos, and he would not ask about the Ministry of War.
Zhulan wanted to see it too, but thought about the weather again, forget it, let's stay at home.
The next day, the early emperor made a date to go to Pinggang, and the accompanying officials also made a date, and Zhou Shuren was on the list.
After coming down to court, the emperor left Zhou Shuren behind, "The Ministry of Households spends so much money every year, and I should let you see the results."
Zhou Shuren's heart aches when he thinks about the huge expenditure in the next year, "The minister should take a good look at it, the navy is a gold bump."
The emperor laughed, "Don't talk about your flesh hurting, every time the artillery fires a shell, my heart hurts too."
If it weren't for the treasury being full, he would be in dire straits now. The normal operation of a country is inseparable from money. The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren with more gentle eyes.
The emperor continued: "Recently, several nearby island countries have sent credentials one after another to buy our ships."
Zhou Shuren was puzzled, "There are still retreating ships?"
Your Majesty, "Not all have been sold."
"What does the emperor mean?"
The emperor smiled, "They pay money, and I will build ships for them, and build them according to the eliminated blueprints. It is better to have all the technology in my hands than the nearby countries to study it themselves."
Moreover, it can also train more shipbuilding craftsmen, so that they can research more advanced ships for the country in the future, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Shuren said, this is the idea of the ambitious emperor, to control technology and let nearby countries develop dependence. Once the habit is formed, tsk tsk, the means are really high.
The emperor said again: "So the imperial court wants to expand the shipyard, but there is no rush, let's go to the shipyard this time to have a look before making plans."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He still didn't think much about it, what was going to inspect the navy, bah, it was obviously leading him to think about how to spend the money.
In the Zhou family, Ming Yun was surprised that Ming Teng was at home today, "Are you free from errands today?"
Ming Teng, "No, brother, do you want to go out?"
Ming Yun shook his head, "Well, Uncle Wu Ming Xiumu, my little uncle and I are going to Wu's house today, since you are at home, do you want to go together?"
Uncle Wu Ming is very busy now, and his younger uncle doesn't have to live in Wu's house anymore. He can only wait for Xiumu to go there, so it is very difficult to ask Uncle Wu Ming for advice.
Ming Teng shook his head and said, "I won't go, I have a guest today."
Mingyun became curious, "Who actually invited you to my home."
Ming Teng has many friends now, but very few sincere ones. He has never invited anyone to his house, so he is very curious.
Ming Teng said: "Wen Rong, the fourth son of the Wen family."
Ming Yun, "...Wen Rong?"
Ming Teng nodded, "What's the matter, brother knows him?"
