Chapter 1580 Banquet

Zhou Shuren took a deep breath, "Hey, I don't want them to go to business. If I remember correctly, there are many caravans every year. When the caravans enter the grassland, they will hire a lot of bodyguards to protect them. If they are not lucky like this, they will suffer heavy losses. .”

Li Zhao finally came to his senses, "You mean escorted by officers and soldiers?"

Zhou Shuren, "Well, anyway, there are fixed patrol missions, and by the way, escort them to earn some money."

Li Zhao opened a new door, yes, the patrol task is escorted by the way, there is no loss, and you can earn money. It would be better if you are also responsible for the food along the way. Now there is a shortage of food, and the calculation in my heart is very special. ring.

Li Zhao continued to diverge his thoughts, "You can also raise some cattle, sheep and livestock by yourself, and be self-sufficient in meat, which can reduce a lot of burden."

Zhou Shuren, "Well, not bad."

Li Zhao was excited, "I'll go back and think about it, and present the paper to the emperor tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren waited for Li Zhao to leave, and exhaled, the annual military supplies could really crush him, especially in the years when grain production was reduced.

Li Zhao is a neat person, the emperor saw Zhezi the next day, and the emperor was delighted to see Zhezi, "Good idea."

The crown prince also read the booklet, "This is not asking for money, Zhou Hou gave a way."

The emperor thought more after reading the scriptures. Not to mention Zhou Hou was tired of military supplies, he, the emperor, was also worried, and the navy was a huge expenditure. If it weren't for the income from the route, the burden on the court would be even heavier.

The emperor approved the paper, and felt a little light in his heart. It was rare for him to care about the prince's marriage. "Have you been to the Shangguan's mansion recently?"

The pen in the prince's hand paused, "No, my son is busy recently."

The emperor looked at his son's expression, the child he raised with his own hands, the emperor understood very well, "I know you have no feelings for Miss Shangguan, but I hope you will put more thought into it, your wife will live a lifetime."

Even if the queen has various problems, he cannot deny the advantages of the queen. He has never thought of changing the queen, nor has he thought that the queen will really go and take the next position. The promise to the queen at the beginning will not change. One wife for a lifetime is enough up.

He and the queen have feelings, so he also hopes that his son's future marriage will be smooth and together. It is very important for husband and wife to be of the same mind.

The prince's heart was touched, he understood what his father meant, but he tried, "Miss Shangguan is very good."

He is very suitable for the princess, but there is something wrong with getting along, he thinks it may be because he is not married,

They will be closer when they get married.

The emperor took a deep look at his son, sighed in his heart, and began to fall into his son's eyes, and it was difficult to get into his son's eyes in the future.

In the Zhou family, Mingrui brought his wife back from Zhuangzi, Mingrui said: "Grandma, Zhuangzi's gifted orphans are already able to work with the doctor."

Zhulan was delighted to hear that, "You're a fast learner."

Mingrui nodded, "Well, the doctor you invited also likes to accept him as an official disciple."

"How many children say?"

There was warmth in Mingrui's eyes, "A few children are willing, but they said they didn't learn it for themselves, and they will stay in Zhuangzi to study after they have learned well."

"A few children are good."

Knowing that learning will pay off, it is good not to teach white-eyed wolf.

Zhulan thinks of white-eyed wolves, not all orphans are good, there are good and bad, naturally there are children like white-eyed wolves.

Lin Qing looked at her husband. She was very happy after marriage. She accompanied her husband every day to do things. Her mother-in-law was good to her, and her sister-in-law was a friend. Fang's sisters were very envious.

Zhulan chatted with Mingrui for a while, and signaled the two children to go back to rest. Recently, Mingrui is in charge of the orphanage, and this child has worked very hard.

Going down to the yamen, Zhou Shuren came back and saw the letter on the table, picked it up and read it, "Mingyun's letter."

"Well, it was delivered in the afternoon, and some medicinal materials came back with the letter."

Zhou Shuren had already taken out the stationery to read the letter. It was just an ordinary letter from home. The letter said what he had learned. The point was that Wu Ming hadn't kept any secrets at all. "Ming Yun has been gone for more than half a year."

"yes."

Zhou Shuren put down the letter, "Wu Ming takes care of Ming Yun, and you also take care of Wu Ming's wife and children."

"I know, now Wu Ming has all his bastards."

The concubines who were pregnant at the beginning were all born, one son and one daughter. She also saw the two children. Song Lan didn't treat the children harshly, and she was okay with the two children. As for the concubines, she didn't see them.

After the meal, the servants were dismissed, and the two continued to chat. Zhulan talked about Yuwen, "There are still people who miss Yuwen, and there are a lot of posts for Sifang recently."

Zhou Shuren, "There are quite a few posts in the past. How many times have you seen your granddaughter participate?"

"Yuwen is going to invite tomorrow's banquet. It's rare for Shangguan to hold a flower banquet, and it's the natal family of the future princess. Everyone invited will go."

Zhou Shuren is not worried about his granddaughter, "Yuwen is very smart."

"It's just too smart."

Among several granddaughters, this granddaughter is the smartest.

The next day, Yu Die and Yu Yi also went to the Shangguan Mansion's banquet, and all the girls went, and Li Shi and Su Xuan brought them.

Miss Shangguan, the future princess, is holding a flower banquet for the first time, and many ladies come.

Yujiao was familiar with Shangguanli, and was taken away by Shangguanli when she entered the courtyard. The Yudie sisters went to meet Shangguanjia first. Shangguanjia is the future princess, and there are already many young ladies around her.

When Shangguan Jia saw Yudie and the others, she spoke enthusiastically, "You are here."

Yudie's elder sister stepped forward and said, "Sister Shangguan, we are not late."

Shangguan Jia smiled, "It's not too late, look, there are not many people there yet."

When Yudie heard it, it seemed that many ladies were invited today, and they said a few more words, and Yudie and the others took their seats with the girl.

Yujiao is also back, and Yujiao looks like I have heard gossip.

Yu Yi frowned, and slapped her sister on the back of the hand with a fan, signaling to restrain herself in the Shangguan Mansion, now the garden is full of ladies from all the mansions, so as not to offend people.

It was about the same time, and all the ladies from all the prefectures had arrived, and some of them were the most conspicuous.

The Yudie sisters looked at each other. They heard that the prince had set a date for his wedding. Many families in the capital were eyeing the position of the prince's side concubine. The prince's concubine was the future concubine. Different, the prince's concubine room also needs to be fought for.
