Chapter 1609 Leaving the Palace for a Short Stay

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, but then he was relieved. Yang's ability to manage Zhuangzi so well shows Yang's ability. Recalling the scene of the orphan attending class, thinking of this, he turned the bead string again.

Zhulan signaled Qingxue to bring the ledgers, and a box of ledgers was placed on the open space. With the sound of unpacking, there were thick volumes of ledgers.

Zhulan pointed to the ledger and said, "All the ledgers Master Liu wants to see are here, sir."

Mrs. Liu's eyes froze for a moment, which was too much.

The emperor said, "The account book that Ai Qing wants to see is in front of you, don't be in a daze."

Elder Liu took a deep breath and wanted to find someone to help him watch it together, but in the end, Elder Wen stared at the tea leaves in the teacup without looking up, and the other adults chatted and chatted, but they just didn't look at him anyway.

Mr. Liu stretched out his hand to pick up a book. The accounts in the account book were clear and clear, and he read them seriously in the spirit of finding faults. As he read more and more, Mr. Liu raised his head to look at Mrs. Yang from time to time, "Marquis Zhou pointed out the bookkeeping ?”

Zhulan replied simply, "No, Master Hou is fully focused on his errands and has no extra energy to help me."

This is the truth, Shuren faces the ledger every day, and just wants to relax when he returns home, and she doesn't need to help, Shuren has never intervened.

Mrs. Liu was frightened, and picked up a few more books to read. This time, she read faster and faster. She pinched her fingertips with a little force, and finally stopped reading, "The old lady has clear accounts, and the old man admires it."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, so they are all old foxes, they have face when they need it, and they don't have face when they don't need it. When they say it, they admire her openly, and Mrs. Liu found a way for him.

Zhulan was modest, "I just remember the accounts better."

The prince just flipped through a few books, raised his head and remained silent, the old lady is really humble.

The emperor said at this time, "Madam, there is no need to be modest. I am surprised by what I saw today, and it is all thanks to Madam. I feel a lot today. I personally donate ten thousand taels of silver to the children. I hope the children can learn something."

It means that the money donated is used for education, not for food.

Zhulan was worrying about buying money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Without the emperor's donation, she was going to sell livestock. "My wife thanked the emperor on behalf of the children."

Now Zhuangzi's biggest expense is not food, but pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and now he has money.

The prince's heart twitched,

He also had to bleed because of his father's impromptu idea, who made him the crown prince, "donate five thousand taels of silver alone."

The purse that had finally bulged a little was deflated again.

Master Liu and the others realized that the reason why the emperor only brought them here was here, and those who were in pain each donated a thousand taels.

After Zhulan counted 23,000 taels of silver, her tone was not to mention sincere, "Thank you, my lords."

She regretted that there were fewer officials who came today.

After seeing off the emperor and his party, Zhulan also returned to Beijing in a carriage.

When they got home, the money had already been delivered to the mansion, and Mrs. Li picked it up, "Mother, the total is 23,000 taels."

Zhulan took out one thousand taels and handed it to the boss, "Give it to Zhuangzi to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

The rest of the silver can't be used for orphans in the capital, and the states have to send some. Such a penny, twenty-three thousand taels is not much.

The emperor took the prince and others out of Beijing to see the orphan, and word spread in the capital. The next day, Zhulan heard a lot of news about her, all of which were praiseworthy.

Zhulan knew in her heart that what the emperor pushed behind her was actually not much to say about her, but more to learn from Zhuangzi's orphan.

There were too many rumors, which naturally aroused people's curiosity. As a result of their curiosity, they went out of Beijing in twos and threes to check on Zhuangzi, but unfortunately they couldn't enter Zhuangzi.

Zhulan has benefited, and her reputation has improved, so she will be talked about alone, instead of talking about Zhou Shuren and taking her by the way.

On this day, Zhulan was choosing materials and preparing new clothes for the New Year in the mansion. Qingxue heard the girl's report and stepped forward and said: "The prince sent the news back. Some people jointly want to come to Zhuangzi to see the children study. They don't believe the rumors and want to see it with their own eyes. For the truth."

Zhulan continued to flip through the materials, "Since the joint name must be led by someone, what can the prince say?"

Qingxue continued: "Young Master Du leads the way."

Zhulan paused her hand, then sneered, she thought that the Duke of Yong'an would take the lead, but she didn't have the guts at all, so she shook her head, being ignored for many years, and the Duke's mansion didn't realize that they had already lost the most important thing. courage.

Seeing the old lady shaking her head, Qingxue said, "Old lady, Shizi's servant is still waiting outside."

Zhulan replied, "There is nothing shameful about Zhuangzi. If they want to see it, let them watch it, but don't disturb the children's study. When you enter Zhuangzi, you must follow the rules. Anyone who breaks the rules, please go out."

Mrs. Li waited for Qingxue to retreat, "Mother, these people won't cause any trouble, right?"

After Zhulan had chosen the material, she motioned to her mother-in-law to take it down, "They are going to participate in next year's Spring Palace, so they don't dare to cause trouble. They are not just curious about going to Zhuangzi."

Li was puzzled, "Then why?"

Zhulan wiped her hands and said: "For the sake of the emperor, they want to see what the emperor cares about in Zhuangzi, and want to find out something useful from it, so as to prepare for next year's spring."

Mrs. Li, "I see."

Zhulan laughed, "It's enough to lift your brain."

Of course, there are also those who study hard, even if they win, they will not be reused.

The emperor prefers people who can do things, rather than those who are serious about studying. This time, the emperor will pay attention to whoever takes the lead in the joint name, not to mention that Mr. Du is the third prince's cousin.

Zhuangzi, Boss Zhou is drinking tea and waiting for mother's reply, it's quite cold outside, Boss Zhou invited everyone into the concierge, so as not to freeze anyone.

Boss Zhou is the son of the Hou family and the next Lord Hou, everyone dare not make mistakes, even Mr. Du is very honest.

Boss Zhou hugged the heater and didn't intend to speak. When he noticed someone sneaking at him, he looked over from the corner of his eye, and then closed his eyes.

Ji Deming's heart tightened. What he knew about the prince of the Marquis Mansion was that he was very blessed. He had several good sons, a good father, and he was able to inherit the position without much ability. But he really got in touch with him. Just one sentence stunned them. He glanced at him just now, but he didn't dare to look at each other. He felt a sense of oppression.

Boss Zhou didn't know that Ji Deming had so many mental activities. He was the future Marquis of Zhou, and he already had his own momentum.

The young servant came back on horseback and entered the house, "The old lady said that you can enter Zhuangzi, but you are not allowed to disturb the children's study, and follow the rules."

Boss Zhou stood up with a big smile, "Everyone please."

Mr. Du hurriedly returned the gift, "Your Majesty, please trouble me."

Boss Zhou stepped forward, "No trouble."

Zhou Hou Mansion, the Ran family sent a post, Zhulan read the post twice, confirmed that she read a word correctly, and then put down the post, "Eldest princess actually stayed in Ran's mansion for a while, and invited Yudie and others to drink tea."

Li Shi was surprised, "Why did you suddenly leave the palace for a short stay?"
