Chapter 1608 The Hou Mansion Is Magnanimous
Zhou Shuren smiled again before leaving, Wang Jue chased after him, "I really haven't paid attention to Zhuangzi's orphan, I'll go to see it some other day too?"
Zhou Shuren, "It must surprise you."
The current Zhuangzi is like an academy. Several Zhuangzi's children are separated according to the knowledge they have learned, and they attend classes on a regular basis every day. At present, there are 900 orphans.
Wang Jue became even more curious, "I'll go and have a look when I take a rest."
Zhou Shuren put his hands behind his back, "The children in the nearby villages also want to follow suit."
Wang Juo asked, "Have you accepted it?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No, madam has already told the queen mother, but the queen mother didn't reply, Zhuangzi dare not accept the children in the village."
Because the children in the village want to learn, he discussed it with his wife. They didn't expect that they would develop so well and continue to develop in a good direction. As long as the time comes, they will be able to independently set up a college for academic ability.
At present, we need to wait, waiting for the older orphans to become teachers, so that the emperor can see the results. If there are no results, the royal family still has a wait-and-see attitude.
The two chatted while walking, and when they reached the gate of the palace, Wang Zhuo said, "I want to send a group of Wang's children to the grassland states."
Zhou Shuren tilted his head, "What does the old man mean?"
Wang Jue stared, "My father has retired, I will be the head of the family in the future, and I will also be the patriarch of the Wang clan."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Time flies so fast, you are already the patriarch."
Wang Zuo said seriously, "The states in the grasslands need to develop. You are willing to go to the grasslands with Mingyun. I have been watching this year. There is no book for Wu Ming today. I plan to send my children there next year."
What he valued were merchants in the grasslands, and the benefits were considerable. A family's inheritance was inseparable from money, and now to seize some opportunities can avoid competition.
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart, this is the heir cultivated by the aristocratic family since he was a child, "Since we have decided to act, we must act faster."
Wang Zuo's eyes lit up, "With you, my heart will be more at ease."
In the afternoon, Zhulan received an order from the palace that the emperor would take the prince and several ministers to Zhuangzi tomorrow, so she didn't need to make any arrangements.
As the person in charge, Zhulan must accompany her, Zhulan was surprised,
The emperor sent a message that she seems to be the only woman?
When Shuren came back, Zhulan asked, "Something's wrong!"
Zhou Shuren touched his nose, his fault, "Today I mentioned you in the court."
He talked and learned the words in the court.
Zhulan's eyes widened, and then she became excited, "I finally won't be the woman behind you?"
Zhou Shuren cupped his hands to salute, "I hope my wife will support you a lot in the future."
Zhulan cast a sideways glance, "It's easy to say, easy to say."
Zhou Shuren stood up straight, "Don't be nervous tomorrow."
Zhulan was really not nervous, "Don't worry, I will give you a long face."
Zhou Shuren has confidence in his wife, "If anyone bullies you, come back and tell me, and I will help you vent your anger later."
Zhulan frowned, "Okay."
After the meal, Zhulan sorted out Zhuangzi's account books. There were a lot of account books, as well as the tailor-made monthly reports, and finally the data of each state. After confirming that there were no omissions, she went to sleep.
On the second day, Zhulan took the boss and Mingrui with her. Boss Zhou knew Zhuangzi very well. Mingrui often went to teach and taught medicine classes. Zhulan took them to win the emperor's favor.
Zhulan left the capital after breakfast, while the emperor and others had to wait for the morning court to end, this time the emperor did not bring Zhou Shuren with him.
Zhou Shuren watched the emperor leave with his people, Wang Zhuo asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Look at who the emperor brought with him, Mr. Liu, Mr. Wen and others are not easy to get along with. Zhou Shuren just offended someone yesterday.
Zhou Shuren didn't answer, but left humming a ditty, really treating her as a wife is easy to bully.
When Zhulan arrived at Zhuangzi, she didn't say that the emperor would bring the ministers over, as usual when she came to Zhuangzi, the children went to class as usual.
The emperor arrived only half an hour later than Zhulan, and Zhulan got the news and waited at the gate of Zhuangzi.
The emperor got out of the carriage first, and when people came down one after another, Zhulan brought her son and grandson to greet her, "My wife has seen the emperor and the prince."
After seeing the ceremony, the emperor stepped forward to give Zhulan a hand, showing his respect for Zhulan.
Zhulan felt more at ease, straightened up and said: "This is the biggest Zhuangzi, let's start with this Zhuangzi?"
The emperor smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Zhulan signaled her son and grandson to follow, and said as she walked, "Class is in session now, this way to class."
There are too many children, and they no longer take big classes, but divide them into small classes according to the children's learning progress. Children who progress quickly can already make models by themselves.
Zhulan said: "The wood is picked up by the children themselves, and it will not be wasted after being used. It can be used as firewood for burning. The children of Zhuangzi are basically self-sufficient."
The emperor had already seen the model of the ship, and was surprised, "I learned it very quickly."
"The talent in this class is the best."
The emperor nodded, and then went to other classes. The ministers behind him squinted their eyes and were shocked by what they saw with their own eyes.
Then I went to several nearby Zhuangzi. When I arrived at Zhuangzi who was studying medicine, the children were identifying medicinal materials.
At this time, the explanation has been replaced by Mingrui, Mingrui said: "The medicinal materials used were dug up the mountain by the doctor and the children, and the rest were exchanged for grain from the village."
The bead string in the emperor's hand was spinning fast, and only he knew what was going on in his heart.
Zhulan felt the emperor glanced at her, "It's getting late, does the emperor want to eat?"
Your majesty, "OK."
The food was served quickly, and there were fish and meat, as well as chicken and duck on the table.
Elder Wen didn't find a chance to speak, but when he saw the food on the table, he opened his mouth, "Madam just said to eat food produced by Zhuangzi, and the food on the table is all produced by Zhuangzi?"
Zhulan looked at Boss Zhou, and Boss Zhou took a step forward, "It is indeed produced by Zhuangzi himself, and it is raised by the children. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look."
Mrs. Wen still doesn't believe it. There are more than 900 children in Zhuangzi, and the daily consumption is huge. How can there be fish and meat?
The emperor signaled Eunuch Zhang to take a look, and Boss Zhou did nothing wrong and led him to check.
The emperor didn't move the chopsticks, nobody moved, Zhulan asked the steward to take the saved exam papers for the emperor to check.
The emperor became interested, and as he watched and witnessed the growth of the children, he was moved. He understood that Zhuangzi's healthy development today cannot be separated from Madam Zhou. "Madam, you have worked hard."
Zhulan smiled, "It's not hard."
Eunuch Zhang came back soon, "It is indeed raised by the children."
Boss Zhou explained, "With a year of breeding experience, I have raised some more this year, because the children can only eat six percent full, but they don't stop eating meat."
The emperor picked up chopsticks to eat now, Mr. Liu and others came here to find fault, how could they be reconciled.
After the meal, Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "More than nine hundred children cost a lot, old lady, how about showing me how Zhuangzi is self-sufficient?"
To put it bluntly, I just want to see the accounts.
Zhulan had expected it a long time ago, "Our Hou Mansion has always been open and open, and there is nothing to hide. Coincidentally, I brought them all today."
Boss Zhou looked at Boss Liu, who had a stiff smile in his eyes, his mother's ability to satirize people was no worse than his father's!
