Chapter 1591 Method

Zhou Shuren returned home with his granddaughter, changed clothes and went to the front yard to meet Jiang Du and Mu Fan. The two were reading in the study with Mingrui and others. I dare not relax and hurry up to study.

It was rare for him to come back so early and give some pointers.

Chang Zhong hugged his father's arm, "Father, why did you come back so early today?"

Zhou Shuren groaned, "Brat, you don't know how heavy you are, so don't press me."

Changzhong chuckled, but still didn't let go of his hand.

Zhou Shuren said in a loving tone: "I accompanied the emperor to the teahouse today, and met Yudie and the others in the teahouse, and came back together."

Chang Zhong realized, "Because of several wonderful debates?"

"Well, the quality of this year's candidates is very high."

I didn't meet any exciting ones today, but there have been several exciting debates in just a few days, which has proved how fierce the competition on the list this year is.

Jiang Du was nervous when he heard this, "Grandpa, me."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said, "The teahouses in the capital will not stop a few years ago. You can go to the teahouses to have a look. You know yourself and the enemy. You know what you are doing, so you can study in a planned way."

Jiang Du and Mu Fan, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Don't be nervous, you two. Our family has participated in many imperial examinations and has a lot of experience. It's a pity that Mingyun is in the grassland. However, your fourth uncle is at home and let him teach you at night."

Jiang Du and Mu Fan were excited, the fourth uncle was the best at reading, and he was in the Hanlin Academy all the year round, so they were more confident with the fourth uncle in their presence.

Zhou Shuren pointed to the bookshelf again, "There are exam questions from different sessions on it, you can try it too, if you don't understand, just ask, there are so many people in the family!"

Jiang Du and Mu Fan got up, "Let Grandpa worry about it."

Zhou Shuren, like the elders in the world, hopes that the younger generation will have a bright future, so he took the books they read, "If you don't understand anything, just ask while I have time today."

This opportunity is too rare, mainly because he is very busy.

The next day, Zhulan was waiting for Mrs. Qi at home. Mrs. Qi came over to say hello first, then went to see Ran Wan and the two children, and came back half an hour later.

The bamboo orchid has pasted a small painting with petals,

Qi looked like it, "Do you still have this skill?"

"I have nothing to do when I'm idle, find something for myself and sit down."

Sitting down, Mrs. Qi said in an envious tone, "You still live comfortably."

Yang's daughter-in-law is filial, and there are no bad things at home, unlike her, who has been worrying too much in recent years, getting old quickly, thinking about family matters every day, and has no leisure and elegance at all.

Zhulan, "You can live comfortably, but I didn't say that you shouldn't get back the right to housekeeper."

Qi's family was also troubled, "Since the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law had an argument, the backyard is in a mess, and I want to let go."

Zhulan pushed Qi's a cup of tea for extinguishing the fire, "For extinguishing the fire, lower the fire."

Qi, "..."

She was indeed very angry, and her temper was getting worse and worse, and it was useless to chant Buddha and meditate.

Mrs. Qi drank the tea and gave Zhulan a wink, Zhulan signaled the girls to go down, "What's the matter?"

The Qi family said quietly: "Haven't you heard the rumors in the capital?"

Zhulan's heart skipped a beat, "The choice for the crown prince's side concubine?"

"You know."

"I'm not deaf, how can I not know, look at you, the Qi family has an idea?"

The more Zhulan thought about it, the more likely it was that the Qi family had been on hold for so many years, and with Concubine Ran around, King Chu took care of her in private, so the past few years have been good.

Mrs. Qi shook her head, "The Qi family is terrified. No one dares to be thoughtful. It's enough to get into the dust once, and you won't have good luck next time."

If it weren't for King Chu being good, the Qi family might not even be able to get together.

Zhulan, "Then what do you want to say?"

"Your fifth girl, the most I've heard recently is that the fifth girl has been selected."

The tea in Zhulan's mouth sprayed, "Huh?"

Qi's mouth twitched, "As for the reaction so big?"

"I was frightened, it couldn't be the last time the queen saw me alone and spread the word."

Qi Shi nodded, "Yeah."

Zhulan spread her hands, "I'm wronged, last time the empress said that my Yuwen had chosen a husband and son-in-law, and the empress wanted to marry her!"

The Qi family believed in the Yang family's words. If the girls of the Zhou family wanted to marry into the royal family, the position of the crown princess could be contested. There was no contest at the beginning, and now they don't care about the position of the side concubine. The side concubine is also a concubine.

Zhulan was speechless, "Why are there so many blind people?"

Qi, "..."

If so, too many people are blind.

Zhulan twirled the cup, "This is someone pushing the flames and testing our Hou Mansion. If it is fake, it will disgust our Hou Mansion!"

Ran's family and Zhou's family were originally in-laws, and Ran Wan was competitive, with one daughter and one son, so the Qi family could speak freely, "Who let the girl from the Hou Mansion get in the way."

Zhulan sighed, "Isn't our Marquis's behavior obvious enough? My son-in-law doesn't even have a concubine."

The Qi family said quietly: "Your girl is jealous of Miss Jingcheng."

Zhulan could not refute that her granddaughter was indeed hated.

Zhulan waited for the Qi family to leave, and called Su Xuan, "Did you hear that?"

Su Xuan, "I haven't been out recently, I really haven't heard of it."

"It's impossible for the royal family to explain it in person. After discussing it for a long time, it will not be good for Yuwen's reputation."

If the royal family explained that they looked down on Yuwen and slapped the Hou Fu in the face, this kind of calculation is really disgusting.

Su Xuan was also angry, she obviously didn't have such thoughts, it's really bad.

Zhulan looked at Su Xuan, her heart moved, and she planned to wait for Shuren to come back and talk about it.

After resting at night, Zhulan said the rumor, "It's not good for Yuwen's reputation."

Zhou Shuren knows a lot about his daughter-in-law, as soon as he heard it, he knew that her daughter-in-law has a solution, "What's your solution?"

Zhulan, "The empress has already stated her position. It is not good for the royal family to explain in person, and it is not good for Yuwen to get engaged suddenly. Not only does the granddaughter feel wronged, but it seems that the Hou family looks down on the prince."

Zhou Shuren, "Tell me about your method."

Zhulan moved closer to Shuren's ear, Zhou Shuren's eyes brightened as she talked, "You can talk to Su Xuan."

Zhulan curled the corner of her mouth, "Yes."

The next day, Zhulan shared her thoughts, and Su Xuan's eyes widened after hearing this, thinking about it carefully, the more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, "Mother, I'll prepare first."

"Um."

The days passed day by day, and there were several snowfalls, each of which made people frown, fearing that a snow disaster would occur, and every time the snow stopped, they had to chant a few words of Buddha.

In this atmosphere, the emperor frowned, looked at the sky from time to time, and sighed: "Lack of cotton, lack of food."

Zhou Shuren calmed down, because he knew that this kind of years would last forever until the end of Little Binghe. His only depression was that it was difficult for him to leave the Household Department. The emperor trusted him too much, well, he trusted his ability.

The emperor said again: "The border soldiers have suffered."

Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart, he really had no choice but to, "Make more chilblain ointment."

Seeing that the emperor frowned, Zhou Shuren said, "It would be great if there was a lot of cotton."

The emperor looked at Zhou Shuren suspiciously, "What is your purpose?"

Zhou Shuren, "..."

What about the mystery between the monarch and his ministers?
