Chapter 1370 Who Is Easy?
When Zhou Shuren was not in the household department, although the household department was operating as usual, it seemed that something was missing. When Zhou Shuren came back, he knew for the first time that it was the backbone.
Qiu Yan didn't flatter, and said in a down-to-earth way: "My lord, the spirit of the whole household department is different after he comes back."
Zhou Shuren jokingly said: "When I'm not here, they can still be lazy, so I have to show it to me when I come back."
Qiu Yan laughed, "Then they will be happy to see you back."
After the joke, it was time to report. After the report was over, Qiu Yan sat down to drink tea.
Qiu Yan said in a low voice: "You also know that the grassland tribes went to Beijing to ask for food and grass when you came back."
"Already know."
Qiu Yan continued: "There are quite a few grassland tribes who have come and gone to and from the capital in recent years, and in their eyes we have more than enough!"
"They're also looking at our treasury."
Qiu Yan glanced at Zhou Shuren, is this a casual answer? It probably wasn't what he thought, and he said tentatively, "I probably don't have that much courage, we are a rich country and a strong army."
He also knows how much money he puts into the army every year. In the past few years, he has replaced all the weapons he needs to change one after another. The combat effectiveness is not comparable to before.
Zhou Shuren drank tea and didn't answer, the really smart man said Qiu Yan, "You're right."
Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the lord really followed suit, and then complained: "Counting down the few dynasties, these tribes are unbeatable, and they will come back after a while."
The harsh environment has made the folk customs tough, and Qiu Yan frowned more and more as he thought about it.
In the palace, in the queen's bedroom, the queen was in a good mood because the prince came back. Yesterday there were only four of them in the family, and the smile on the queen's face did not change when she faced the concubines in the harem.
Concubine Liu is so jealous, there is only the crown prince alone on this trip, and it is an opportunity if the crown prince is not in the palace. As a result, the emperor will not meet any prince alone, but will meet together. The meeting is either for school exams or studies, and there is no chance to cultivate feelings. .
Concubine Liu pinched the handkerchief, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is very popular in Zhangzhou, my sister here congratulates my sister."
"Concubine Liu knows the news so clearly that I don't even know about it."
After the words fell, the queen slapped the table, "Concubine Liu is trying to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince?"
Concubine Liu was dumbfounded, no, doesn't the prince know that he is in Zhangzhou?
Concubine Liu gritted her teeth and knelt down, "I dare not."
The queen was too lazy to look at Concubine Liu who was kneeling, "Go back and think about the New Year's Eve."
Concubine Liu took a deep breath, "Thank you, Madam."
The empress glanced at the other concubines with irony in her eyes. The princes are all grown up. There is no one in the harem that the emperor loves. The only prince who can rely on is the mother. The mother is not favored in the harem, and the life of the prince is not easy. To make a fuss about this, she did what the queen should do, but the maids and eunuchs in the palace, she couldn't control her thoughts.
During the time when the prince was not in the palace, there were many people who stopped before, but as a result, the emperor always cared about the prince, and the second son always stayed behind.
The queen thought of the youngest son, the emperor treats the youngest son not like the father treats the king of Qin, the father really hurts the youngest son to the bone, but the emperor can't, if the king of Qin grows up in the palace, he will be like her youngest son.
As the new year approaches, the Zhou family has basically finished all the rituals that should be left. Zhulan's heart is also at ease because of Shuren's return.
Zhulan looked at the thick booklets on the table, "Our family has a lot of booklets, it's really inconvenient."
Paper is prone to bugs, so it must be carefully taken care of every year, and a backup must be written to prevent the original from being damaged and unable to be checked, and storage is very troublesome.
Mrs. Li had a headache when she saw the brochure. This year's annual ceremony was arranged by her.
Originally, there was a daughter-in-law who could help her, but the daughter-in-law was pregnant and had a big belly, so she couldn't bear to carry it by herself.
Mrs. Li, "Mother, there are more Lin family presents this year, and the presents given by the Lin family are generous."
Zhulan couldn't help laughing, "This year Yulu married the Wang family, and the Wang family's gift is also thicker than every year."
"The Wang family doesn't count, they used to be polite."
Zhulan dug out the gift list of the Lin family, "This shows that the Lin family attaches great importance to this marriage."
Mrs. Li smiled, "The second younger sibling is very happy to see it. I heard that the second younger sibling is ready to give Ms. Lin a New Year's greeting."
"That must be a big deal."
In the past, the second room had no money and confidence, and they were not so extravagant in spending money. Now that they have the confidence, they have a thick family. The second room and the couple are masters who can spend money.
Mrs. Li rubbed her shoulders, "Ming Teng personally went to deliver the annual gift to Liu's family."
"Sure, we'll get married next year."
Mrs. Li said in a low voice: "Ming Teng don't look busy, I know my son, that kid has a heart for Liu Jia."
Zhulan closed the booklet, "This is a good atmosphere in our family."
Family style is too important. The environment in which one grows up has a great influence on a person. The Zhou family has a good family style. How many girls want to marry into the Zhou family now!
Mrs. Li put the last few lists into the book, "Mother, I still feel unreal now. I have dreamed a few times. I dreamed that we were still living in Zhoujia Village. I woke up with fright when I saw my vulgar self."
Zhulan stopped holding the pen, "Do you still dream of it now?"
"No, maybe I'm uneasy, that's why I recall the past life."
Zhulan thought Li Shi was dreaming about something, but it turned out to be restlessness, which stimulates memory, so it is normal to appear in the dream.
In the Wang family, Yulu's belly is not too big, and she is also accompanying grandma to read the gift list of the New Year's ceremony. Tao Shile taught Yulu, one by one, pointing out whether the relationship with the family is close or not.
Yulu was pregnant and was willing to be tired, so she insisted on listening carefully. The Wang family has a huge relationship, so it happened to learn more about the New Year's ceremony, so as not to make mistakes in the future.
Dow's story was enjoyable. After her youngest son entered school, she was also lonely. Now she has more grandchildren to chat with, and she is the happiest.
When her son got married, she hadn't been in charge of the house yet, and she had no chance to teach her daughter-in-law. Now it's different. Yulu is a good student. She has experience as a housekeeper in her natal family, and she knows the gifts on the gift list. What gifts look good? , What kind of gift is the true heart, Yulu knows at a glance.
Tao Shixing was more willing to teach, and she didn't stop talking at the beginning. If it wasn't for the great-grandson, she would still want to continue talking, "You're tired."
Yulu was a little tired, but it was okay, "It's okay."
Dow, "You rely on rest for a while."
Yulu is not hypocritical, she is not someone who treats her badly, "Thank you grandma."
"It's my fault for talking too much today."
"Grandma, don't say that. I'm a little crazy today. I just want to remember more."
Tao Shi thought to herself, Zhulan would really teach her granddaughter, and her words were pleasing to the ear, and she looked at Yulu's belly again, her eyes became more loving.
Yulu rested for a while before slowly walking towards her yard. Yulu looked at the snow on the branches, and then looked up at the sky. It is not easy for a woman from a wealthy family, and then she laughed. Who is easy? Don't have to remember complicated relationships easily.
When Wang Wei came to pick up his wife, he saw her smiling at the tree, and seeing her in good spirits, he was relieved, "What are you laughing at?"
