Chapter 1541 Entering Beijing

Zhou Shuren didn't think that the Minister of Rites was there for money. The embassy would replace the supplies and furnishings every year, and would receive a sum of money from merchants every year.

The Minister of Rites indicated to invite first, and said as he walked, "The youngest son of Marquis Zhou is not engaged yet."

Zhou Shuren paused, "Yes."

Minister of Rites smiled, "My sister's youngest daughter, Yongzhi, was born in seventeen years and is one year younger than Lord Zhou. How does Zhou Hou feel?"

Zhou Shuren didn't think so. How can I put it? He doesn't like the Minister of Rites. The Minister of Rites is somewhat politically speculative. Of course, there is no shortage of such people in the court, but his son's marriage will definitely not be related to the Minister of Rites. Small."

People like the Minister of Rites are the most able to listen to subtext, even if they are rejected, they will not be annoyed, and they still have a smile on their faces, "That's a pity."

Zhou Shuren was not afraid that the Minister of Rites would put on Changyi's shoes, as long as he held power in his hands, as long as he was the Marquis of Zhou, the Minister of Rites would only take care of Changyi.

Then the Minister of Rites chatted about some recent events until he got into the carriage and left.

Zhou Shuren said with emotion that the youngest son has also reached the age of marriage. The youngest son has been away from Beijing for more than a year, and no one cares about him. Now that he has returned to Beijing, it is normal for him to be missed.

In ancient times, it was easier for a man to marry a wife than a woman's family. Zhou Shuren was really not in a hurry.

In the Zhou Mansion, Zhulan looked at the letter sent by her elder brother, she pursed her lips, she was in a bad mood, her elder brother was not young, and his leg was broken in this fall.

Zhulan sighed, she said in the letter that it was all right, so she didn't believe it, as her metabolism slowed down as she got older, her elder brother must have suffered a serious crime for breaking the bone.

Zhao comforted, "Mother, with the doctor watching, uncle will be fine."

Zhulan was a little sad, "I'm still old, old, all old."

Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, don't say that, you are still young in the eyes of your daughter-in-law."

There was a little smile on Zhulan's face, "You are the only one who can talk. Your brother wrote you a letter. Do you want to come to the capital?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "He has already become a scholar, and he is not in a hurry to take the imperial examination. He and I haven't seen each other for many years. The letter said that he plans to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year with me, and he will go on a study tour after the spring begins."

Zhulan calculated, "It's true that you siblings haven't seen each other for many years."

She was the one who came up with the idea to let the child stay in Lizhou.

Mrs. Zhao's grudge against her younger brother has become more and more uncomfortable with the passing of time, and she hopes that her younger brother will come to the capital. The husband has helped her for many years, so it's time to help her.

After talking with the second daughter-in-law, Zhulan went to the storeroom to choose tonics for her elder brother and second brother. Good medicinal materials in Lizhou are still hard to find.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren didn't mention the marriage mentioned by Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites. Instead, he said, "Liang Wang ruthlessly tossed himself. After all, the Supreme Emperor is his father, and he is old. With the Supreme Emperor watching, and with Liang Wang's military exploits, the Emperor will not touch Liang." The palace is here."

Zhulan, "Is King Liang miserable?"

"How should I put it, King Liang gave me the feeling that he committed suicide slowly. I can see it, and the emperor and the Supreme Emperor can also see it. King Liang cut the heart of the Supreme Emperor with a soft knife!"

Zhulan said, "The King of Liang is also afraid of the Queen's short life, and the prince is the Queen's son. The King of Liang has no choice but to torment himself."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Many people can clearly see the situation of King Liang. There is an inextricable knot between King Liang and the prince. I think someone wants to take advantage of it. Unfortunately, King Liang wants to keep the Prince Liang's mansion."

"That's what King Liang understood."

The emperor has been suppressing the mother clan of the concubines in the harem, and kept everything under control. Obviously the emperor has suffered enough from the powerful family, can't the mother clan of the concubines in the harem understand? I can see clearly, but the imperial power is too attractive.

The next day, there was news in the capital that King Liang was seriously ill. The head of the Supreme Hospital stayed in King Liang's mansion. King Liang's illness dragged on for a month before he recovered, and then there were rumors that King Liang died soon.

The king of Liang was seriously ill in the capital, and there was another major event. The emperor was stingy with the concubine position in the harem, and he was promoted to a concubine. Handed over to Concubine Zhang for upbringing.

This was a big blow to the Wang family, and finally realized the emperor's determination, no longer pretending to be confused, and be honest.

At this time, Zhao's younger brother finally arrived in the capital. Zhulan looked at the young man in front of her. Zhao's mother is a beauty, and so is Zhao's son. Qian Keqi has grown into a gentle and gentle son. very nice.

Zhulan gestured, "I was only this tall when I left you, but now that I have grown up, I dare not admit it."

Qian Keqi has been living alone for many years, and he is very proficient in dealing with people. What he knows best is to observe people's words and feelings. He felt the kindness of the old lady. I can look forward to thanking the old lady for her care."

Zhulan smiled and motioned to sit down. She really didn't take care of her. What she really took care of was the second room, but she didn't stop her. In addition, the Yang family's care for the child was to take care of the child. through."

Qian Keqi said, "The kid has lived alone for many years, and he is able to be what he is today thanks to his transparency."

Zhulan asked about Qian Keqi's studies again, and then said to the second daughter-in-law: "Let's chat with your siblings, and show him what is missing in the yard, and you need to arrange anything."

Zhao smiled, "Okay."

Zhulan waited for Mrs. Zhao to leave with Qian Keqi, and said to Qingxue, "This kid is really good."

Qingxue nodded, but she thought she was a bit feminine.

Mrs. Zhao took her younger brother to the yard, "This yard is close to the front yard, so it's convenient for you to go out if you want. See what else you can buy."

Qian Keqi felt concerned, and the strangeness towards his sister was gone, "It's already very good."

Zhao said: "Your brother-in-law originally wanted to ask for leave. The Ministry of Rites has something to do and he can't leave. Let me talk to you and I will have a good chat with you when I come back."

Qian Keqi, "Okay, sister, I don't know if you like it or not even if I brought a gift."

Mrs. Zhao thought of the skin she gave her, "It's not easy for you to live on your own, you child must have spent a lot of money this time."

"My sister and brother-in-law bring back more expensive annual gifts every year. My family business has been doing well these years, so my sister doesn't have to worry about me."

Mrs. Zhao knew the younger brother's situation very well, and knew that he didn't have a swollen face to pretend to be fat. "You rest first, and we can talk later in the evening."

When leaving the yamen, Changyi came back first to meet his brother-in-law, and was stunned for a moment by his appearance, he was so good-looking, and the capital was too dirty, luckily it was his brother-in-law.

Qian Keqi looked a little unnatural, "Brother-in-law?"

Changyi sighed, "In the future, you and Mingrui will practice martial arts together."

Add some heroism.

Qian Keqi is not someone who doesn't know what to expect, "Okay."

Another half an hour later, Zhulan frowned, it was already dark outside, and Shuren still didn't come home.

Changyi didn't care too much about it, sometimes Dad would come back late.

After another half an hour, Zhou Shuren returned to the mansion. Seeing that Shuren's expression was not good, Zhulan hurriedly asked, "But what happened?"
