Chapter 1612
Chang Lian is also a little scalp numb, too many people want to give him women, when he goes out to teahouses, there are women falling at his feet, and he even boldly confesses that he does not seek fame, and it is good to be a girl without a name or a title!
Now there is no need for him to never go out. The advantage of his family being in the back house of the government office is that he can go home directly after leaving the government office, avoiding all kinds of accidents on the way home.
Mrs. Dong took the tea from Xianggong carefully, and most of her anger subsided after drinking the tea, "In the final analysis, it was caused by your status, and my status is too low."
This is the disadvantage. There is a huge gap between the Zhou family and the Dong family. The husband is the son of the Hou family. As a regular wife, those who think that their status is not bad don't take her seriously.
Chang Lian hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "You and I have supported us all the way, I have no wrong thoughts."
It's not just the rules set by the father, he really thinks the wife is very good.
Dong said quietly: "Our family can't take concubines, but we can remarry with Li!"
Some people have this idea, they can't take a concubine, and remarrying with Li is also a solution, as long as the husband is thinking about it, everything will be fine.
Chang Lian was stunned when he heard that, "Is it still possible?"
Dong's eyes were deep, "Hit me harder, it's okay to remarry after losing your wife, this will better preserve your reputation."
Of course, it must be clean and tidy, so that no evidence can be found.
Changlian, "..."
He felt that he was still innocent, and all he wanted in his mind was not to take concubines!
Seeing her husband's silly appearance, Mrs. Dong burst out laughing, "I'm back to my senses."
Chang Lian held his wife's hand, "I swear that you are the only wife I have. If you have an accident, I will not marry again. Bah, bah, anyway, I only have sex with you."
The last trace of gloom in Dong's heart disappeared, "Okay, I won't be angry anymore."
Chang Lian wanted to vent his anger on his wife, didn't he not pay attention to her, he wanted everyone to know how much he cared about his wife, so he still had to learn from his father!
Time passed quickly, and it was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer. Zhenyue had already returned to the palace. With Zhenyue's return to the palace, Ran's family calmed down, and Zhouhou's mansion was also quiet.
the twelfth lunar month of winter,
This year's twelfth lunar month is colder than last year, and the morning court has stopped.
Zhou Shuren didn't have to get up early, and lay in the warm quilt, "I want to thank Mrs. Wen and others, and send some supplements back."
Zhulan, "After receiving your supplements, Mr. Wen's illness has worsened."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "They are still in poor health, look at me and I'm fine."
"If you can't sleep, get up."
Zhou Shuren flinched, "I'm sorry, anyway, I don't have to go to the household department on time, I want to lie down."
Zhulan glanced at the clock, "Okay, Hubu is the biggest anyway, you lie down, I'll get up and wash up."
She had already seen the figure outside the house, Qingxue came several times, and the hot water was changed several times, she couldn't be lazy anymore.
Zhou Shuren gave way, and when his daughter-in-law got up, he occupied the entire kang, and the warm quilt was comfortable.
Zhulan changed her clothes and washed her hair. After Qingxue combed her hair, she turned around and Shuren fell asleep again.
Changyi and Changzhi still go to the Yamen on time, they don't have the credit of their father, no one said that father is lazy when the household department is free, and even the censor is blind, so they can't do it.
After another half an hour, Zhou Shuren got up, ate a simple breakfast, and was not ready to leave.
Zhulan, "Still leaving?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "There is really nothing important in the household department."
The only major issue now is the salary. There is a statute on the salary, so there is no need to worry about it, so the household department was really free a few years ago.
Zhulan said again: "The sons have been in the yamen for half an hour."
"Can they compare with me? Humph, hum."
Zhulan laughed, "Okay, okay, you are the best."
Zhou Shuren glanced at the clock, stood up lazily, "I really should go."
Zhulan also stood up, took the stove, and helped to fasten the cloak, "Don't get too cold."
"Understood, I'll be back soon."
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
Zhou Shuren was the one who left late and left early.
When Zhou Shuren arrived at the household department, the porter of the household department had been waiting for a long time, "Master Shangshu, the crown prince has come down for a quarter of an hour and is waiting for you!"
Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky, the prince actually went out of the palace in such a cold day, his pace quickened a little, and the prince was drinking tea when he entered the room.
Zhou Shuren untied his cloak, "Why is the prince looking for this humble minister?"
Prince, "Today I have to come here to ask for a cup of tea."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He was a little disgusted with begging for a cup of tea, and it was not good for anyone who came to beg for tea.
The prince has already made tea, "Master Hou, please."
Zhou Shuren blinked his small eyes, the prince obviously had something on his mind, "Speaking of which, this tea is still a tribute tea for my ministers."
The crown prince nodded, took a sip and said, "Second brother will enter the court next year, guess which one of the six will the Lord Hou go?"
Zhou Shuren also took a sip of tea, "Ministry of Rites."
Look at the actions of the second prince, it is actually not difficult to guess.
The prince raised his teacup, "Master Hou guessed it right."
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart, and the prince lamented that his younger brothers had grown up. He didn't plan to talk too much, and if he said too much, he would lose it. He just wanted to drink tea with him honestly.
The prince laughed lightly and didn't care, drinking tea alone, listening to the sound of the charcoal fire, thought it was good, never thought that he would find peace here in Zhouhou.
The prince's thoughts are a little far away, the capital is huge, there is no place he can't go, it's hard to find peace.
Zhou Shuren was leaning on the chair, the room was too quiet, he wanted to sleep in such a quiet place, when he heard the sound of the chair moving, he saw that the prince had got up and was putting on his cloak.
Zhou Shuren hurriedly got up, "I send the prince off."
The prince waved his hand, "No need, Lord Hou stay."
Speaking of the prince leaving swiftly, Zhou Shuren stood by the window, the prince walked firmly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, the emperor had indeed educated the prince.
In the palace, the emperor knew the prince's whereabouts very well. It was no surprise that the prince would go to find Zhou Shuren. His son trusted Zhou Shuren as much as he did. He was surprised that Zhou Shuren didn't say anything, and he almost fell asleep.
The Supreme Emperor smiled, "So Zhou Shuren is really smart."
The emperor sighed, "It's a pity that he is not young, I wonder if he can wait until the crown prince succeeds."
The Supreme Emperor raised his head from the chessboard, while his son was still young and lowered his head, "I think the life of abdicating is pretty good, and it is also a blessing to take a good look at the rivers and mountains I govern while I can still move."
The emperor held the hand of the chess piece and placed it, "It's still early."
The Taishang Emperor's beard is raised, this is the answer his son gave him, it is indeed still early, at least his son does not object to abdicating.
In the teahouse, Ming Rui looked at Zhuo Guyu downstairs, "Little Uncle, you pay too much attention to him."
Changzhong, "He came out in such a cold day, his will is firm enough."
"Little uncle is also determined."
Changzhong smiled, "Anyway, I don't have any big business, just watch the fun."
Mingrui got up, "I won't accompany you anymore, I'm going to fetch the screen."
Changzhong waved, Mingrui was so kind to his wife, even in cold weather, he had to take the screen himself.
Chang Zhong sat for a while, feeling bored, and was about to go back home, when he went downstairs and saw Gu Sheng, "What a coincidence."
Gu Sheng also thought it was a coincidence, "My eldest brother just arrived in the capital, so I brought him to dinner."
Chang Zhong looked at Gu Sheng's elder brother. The two brothers looked alike. Gu Sheng's elder brother was less bookish, and he looked pretty good.
