The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 1485

Zhulan got off the carriage, the person she saw just now was gone, she was not willing to look around but found nothing.

Seeing the old lady's disappointed expression, Qingxue was puzzled, "Old lady, who did you see just now?"

Zhulan waved her hand, "I seem to have seen Jiang An just now, maybe I was wrong."

Qingxue, "Master Jiang An?"

"Well, let's go."

As he said that, he returned to the carriage again, his energy lost, and this time he did not look out the window, but gathered his cloak and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage drove away, and Jiang An, who was hiding in the alley, came out. Jiang An's clothes were foreign clothes. Just now when the Hou Mansion's carriage passed by, he instinctively told himself that something bad was going to happen, but luckily he hid fast enough.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help touching his face, he had already grown a beard, and grandma could still recognize him. Sure enough, grandma loved him the most, and then left calmly.

In the household department, Zhou Shuren heard that his wife was looking for him, so he came out in a hurry, got into his carriage, and saw his daughter-in-law sighing, "It didn't work?"

Zhulan told the story of the palace, "It should be possible, but the person in charge may not be me."

Zhou Shuren also felt hesitant after hearing this, "It's okay, this chance is gone, and there will be a next time."

Zhulan, "That's the only way to go, it's getting late, shall we go have lunch?"

"good."

After ordering food in the restaurant, Zhulan mentioned that she had seen her grandson Jiang An, and Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "I haven't received any news."

"Maybe I was wrong."

Zhou Shuren didn't think his daughter-in-law would be mistaken, "Did you see Jiang An change a lot?"

Zhulan recalled carefully, "I only paid attention to the face and didn't pay attention to anything else. There was a beard on my face. I didn't think about it. I guess I mistook the person. You also know that I am getting old and my eyes are not as good as before."

Zhou Shuren remembered it in his heart, if it was really Jiang An, there would be no news at all when he came back, so it shouldn't be easy.

After the couple had lunch, Zhulan went back home.

Zhou Shuren returned to the household department and saw King Chu, "When did King Chu come?"

The King of Chu looked at Zhou Shuren, "I just arrived, is there something wrong at Lord Hou's house?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "It's all right, is there something wrong for the prince to come to the household department?"

King Chu, "I just received the emperor's order to get ready to pick up the child, so I specially asked Lord Hou to go to the Royal Orphanage to see if there is anything missing."

Zhou Shuren was always thinking about it, got up and said,

"good."

The Royal Orphanage occupies a large area. In order to accommodate the children, it occupied the common people's homes. The imperial court arranged houses for the common people and gave money compensation.

All the houses have been rebuilt into Datong shops, and there are large kangs built in the houses, which can accommodate more than 20 children in one house.

The quilt and clothes are all ready, the clothes are half old, since the old clothes can be used, in order to save money, I didn't buy new clothes.

Zhou Shuren looked carefully, and finally went to the grain room where the grain was stored. There were not many fine grains, and they were all old grains, and the rest were coarse grains.

The king of Chu said: "This batch of food is donated by the king."

Zhou Shuren replied, "My lord is very kind."

He didn't care about the fact that the food was old food. In the years when there is a shortage of food, it is already good to have something to eat, not to mention nutritional supplements. Meat has become a scarce commodity in the market.

The next day, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court, Mr. Yu did not go to the morning court these few days, but we met today, "My lord Yu."

Master Yu's mood is not very good, "Marquis Zhou."

Zhou Shuren knew that Mr. Yu had a headache these days, "Is the headache better?"

Master Yu nodded, "It's all over, I thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and motioned for Sir Yu to walk slowly, "May I consider betrothing your second son?"

Mr. Yu didn't understand the smile in Zhou Hou's eyes. He and his eldest son wished to marry Zhou Hou, "I think, I thought about getting Yueyang married."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the Liu family is better, "Then we have to take a good look at each other."

Master Yu's face became much rosier, and his blood turned red with excitement. He really didn't expect that his second son would fall into Zhou Hou's eyes, and his son laughed foolishly. He turned out to be a very lucky man.

Wang Jue was waiting in front, Zhou Shuren nodded to the adults and took a step ahead.

Master Yu was so excited, he clenched his fists to suppress the excitement in his heart, thinking about who to invite to the Zhou Mansion to propose a marriage, and after walking around, the blood on his face faded, hey, the Yu family has no reliable friends in the capital.

Wang Juo glanced back at Mr. Yu, and said in a low voice, "What did you tell him? Is he so excited?"

Zhou Shuren, "I think his second son is not bad."

Wang Zuo was surprised, "I thought you would make the eldest son of the fourth girl."

The fourth girl of the Zhou family has a good reputation in the capital, and with Zhou Laosan's bright official career, it is also possible for the fourth girl to promise to the eldest son of the family and become the clan's wife.

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "Too tired."

Wang Zuo was stunned and then fell silent. He was really tired. He couldn't help himself in many things, and the responsibility was too heavy. "I have never seen anyone who loves his granddaughter more than you."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "I am the best grandpa."

Zhou Mansion, Zhulan waited for the female officer to leave, but before she recovered, she waited for a while, Zhulan frowned, "Leave it to me, really leave it to me."

Not only was it handed over to her, but an order was also given. Although it was not the original plan to take it slowly, she was not afraid.

Qingxue followed with a smile and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager will leave it to you."

Zhulan walked back and forth in the room excitedly, and after calming down, she picked up the list given by the Queen Mother, which was donated by the Queen Mother.

There are one hundred stones of grain, cotton cloth, etc. on the list, which is very complete.

Zhulan felt in her heart that it was always the common people who suffered, and it had no effect on the powerful, so she signaled Qingxue to prepare paper and pens, since she was in charge, the Zhouhou Mansion would also donate.

With the Empress Dowager taking the lead, the aristocratic family will donate supplies even if they don't want to. These things are starting supplies.

The Empress Dowager's will soon spread throughout the capital, and the list of donations was also made public. The Empress Dowager wanted to run a private orphanage, and the person in charge was Mrs. Zhou Hou, and the noble ladies in the capital were dumbfounded.

The in-laws of the Zhou family, Tao Shi, came the fastest. It can be seen that he has control over the news in the capital. Tao Shi asked in disbelief, "The rumors outside are true? The Queen Mother runs a private orphanage and asked you to be responsible?"

Zhulan smiled, "Yes, according to the Queen Mother's order, I am in charge of the construction of the private orphanage."

Dow's pupils constricted, even if it was a private orphanage, it shouldn't be handed over to Zhulan, he calmed down for a while, "You, how did you do it?"

The king of Chu was in charge of the Royal Orphanage, and the private orphanage should also be in charge of a man, and this was the first time it was handed over to a woman.

Zhulan knew that this matter would shock many people, she was not afraid, she also had confidence, the queen mother ordered someone to assist her, "I didn't do anything, the queen mother valued my ability."

If this matter is accomplished, it will not only save the child, but also improve the status of the woman. Thinking about it, she will be happy.

Dow was still dazed, she knew that Yang was powerful, but she didn't expect to be so powerful that she could do a job. The private orphanage is not run by the capital itself, the whole country is too big, and all states are involved.

Zhulan smiled, "Don't be in a daze, just look at the materials donated by the Queen Mother, as well as the materials donated by our Zhouhou Mansion."

Dow looked at the two lists, yes, the Queen Mother took the lead in donating, and the Wang family will also donate, this time the whole family will donate, "Let me see."
