Chapter 1640 Normal Heart

Zhulan quickly browsed through the letter, which was written by the third son, "Minghui is very popular in Ningzhou."

Boss Zhou, "Huh?"

"See for yourself."

Boss Zhou took the letter and flipped through it, feeling worried, "Mother, Minghui won't come back with a marriage contract."

Zhulan drank tea, "No, Minghui is smart!"

She has faith in the children she teaches, as if her story was for nothing.

Boss Zhou put down the letter, "From the letter, it is not easy for the third child to be the prefect of Ningzhou."

I'm really afraid of the third child, so I won't keep plotting against his son.

Zhulan put down the teacup, "Emperor Tiangao is one of them, and the second is that the power center of the Zhouhou Mansion is in the capital. For the aristocratic families in Ningzhou, the Zhouhou Mansion represents the interests."

But not too afraid of the Zhouhou Mansion, because Zhou Shuren's good reputation has something to do with it, and as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, the Zhouhou Mansion can't do too much.

Boss Zhou was not happy, "Then let Minghui be tricked?"

Zhulan wasn't worried, "With your third brother around, Minghui won't suffer."

Boss Zhou relaxed, "Hey, the son is still useless, and the son can't help the third child."

Zhu Lan, "It all means that Teng Li wins, and you are the winner in life."

With the support of her father, she has several good sons, and she has also won the title of Marquis, tsk tsk, even a mother like her is envious!

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back a little late, Zhulan asked concerned, "Is the house raid over?"

Zhou Shuren looked exhausted. He counted the account books for a day today, and his face became darker when he thought of the account books. "I haven't finished copying, so I continued to search the house overnight."

Zhulan, "...how much is this embezzlement?"

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and patted the table, "A fifth-rank naval general, guess how much money he embezzled?"

Zhulan knew her husband, the amount must be huge, "Two hundred thousand taels?"

Zhou Shuren snorted, "Today's house ransacked and the ledgers were found. This fifth-rank general embezzled 180,000 taels and countless antique calligraphy and paintings.

The ledger was not found, and the hidden money was not found. "

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

It's no wonder that corrupt officials can't be eradicated, and money is touching, and she is tempted to hear it.

Zhou Shuren was furious when he read the account book, "I worked so hard to save money for the national treasury, heh, these corrupt officials are good, it's so easy to get money."

Zhulan said faintly: "It doesn't all belong to you now."

Zhou Shuren's complexion improved, "I can do a lot of things."

Zhulan, "The emperor is furious."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Corruption happens all the time. The emperor will not be angry about corruption. What the emperor is angry about is that the navy has been corrupted. You also know that the emperor and the emperor have invested in the navy. This time it will be cleaned up."

Zhulan, "It's time to clean it up. The love for many years is gone. It's time to chop a few times."

When Zhou Shuren came back and talked to his wife, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot, "Don't mention them, let's eat."

When the food was served, Zhu Lan said: "Fourth Uncle's body is broken, and he won't be able to live for long."

Zhou Shuren paused with his chopsticks, "Why did you lose your bones all of a sudden?"

Zhulan repeated what the imperial physician said, "Fourth Uncle depends on his age."

Zhou Shuren felt uncomfortable, "I'll go see fourth uncle later."

"It should be, the old man must be happy to see you. Yes"

Zhou Shuren didn't have much appetite and didn't eat much, so he went to see his fourth uncle after his wife finished eating.

Rong Yuxuan happened to be eating, and he was really happy to see Zhulan and his wife, "Why are you here at this hour?"

Zhou Shuren sat down, "Why don't you hide your physical discomfort?"

Rong Yuyan, "Although I am not reconciled, but I have to go through life, old age, sickness and death, so don't be sad."

Zhou Shuren respected this elder, and he felt uncomfortable, "You must take good care of your body, and I will take you around after I finish my work."

Rong Yuxuan laughed, "You can't leave the capital even if you walk around. Forget it, I have been to all the places I changed to when I was young. If you are not busy, you can often talk to me."

Zhou Shuren, "OK."

Rong Yuyan, "You should also pay more attention to your body."

Zhou Shuren touched his face, "Obviously?"

"Obviously, with a tired face."

Zhou Shuren was indeed tired. Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, he said a few more words and went back to rest.

The next day, Zhou Shuren went back to the household department with the crown prince, saw Zhuo Guyu waiting at the gate of the mansion, and looked sideways at the crown prince.

The prince raised his eyebrows, "Master Zhuo is waiting for Gu?"

Zhuo Guyu had been helping the prince with errands yesterday, when he returned to the household department, the prince would have returned to the palace long ago, which made him depressed, so he waited at the gate of the yamen specially today, "Yes."

It is better to answer simply than to say more mistakes.

The prince said: "Last night, the search of the house has not stopped, Mr. Zhuo, please go and have a look again?"

Zhuo Guyu knew that the prince did it on purpose, but he didn't know whether it was a test or for the sake of Marquis Zhou, so he didn't show it, "Yes, I will pass now."

The crown prince entered the Yamen with a wave of his hand, Zhou Shuren said thoughtfully, the crown prince did it on purpose, "The crown prince doesn't like him?"

Prince, "I like it."

Who doesn't like to be obedient, it's just that he wants to sharpen Zhuo Guyu.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "If there is anything the prince doesn't understand, Mr. Zhang can't answer it, so you can ask the old minister together."

The prince smiled, "Master Zhang is very powerful."

Zhou Shuren said, Zhang Jinghong is also a person who has been a prince.

On the street, Gu Sheng woke up a bit late today. He was hustling for a painting last night and was thinking about painting when the carriage stopped, "What's wrong?"

The coachman said: "My lord, someone stopped the carriage."

Gu Sheng's carriage is not big, it's a simple one-person carriage. Looking out of the carriage, he saw Mr. Du and Ji Deming together. Gu Sheng was a little jealous of Mr. Du. Mr. Du is the third prince's cousin. Prince.

Ji Deming, "Morning, I heard that Zhuo Guyu is with the prince."

Gu Sheng looked at Mr. Du, "I'm in a hurry."

Ji Deming, "Zhuo Guyu got an errand, so he is still with the prince. Do you have more news?"

Gu Sheng didn't answer, but someone answered for him, "Master Ji wants to know so much, why don't you ask the person involved?"

Ji Deming scratched his head and saw Zhuo Guyu's carriage stopped, he was embarrassed, "Master Zhuo."

Zhuo Guyu glanced at Gu Sheng, "I still have to go one step ahead."

Seeing that it was not the direction to the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Du squinted his eyes and signaled Ji Deming to go.

Ji Deming went to see Gu Sheng again, Gu Sheng's carriage still left, Ji Deming couldn't help but said: "The news was revealed to Zhuo Guyu, why is there no news at all?"

Young Master Du sneered, "I said it wasn't a test, the Marquis of Zhou would not choose a poor son-in-law for the Anhe county magistrate."

Ji Deming's smile stiffened slightly, but he still felt that Gu Sheng and Zhou Hou were too familiar.

In the Imperial Academy, Gu Sheng came in and saw Mr. Zhou, "Why don't you go in?"

Changzhi lowered his voice, "I think normality is very important, what do you think?"

Gu Sheng's mind moved slightly, and before he could figure it out, Master Zhou had already entered the Imperial Academy.

Chang Zhi said over and over in his heart that he was doing it for his daughter, for his daughter.
