Chapter 1652 Sense of Presence

After resting for a while, Zhulan looked at the ledger again. This is only a problem on the ledger, and there are still many unknown problems, such as whether the clothes donated by people in various states have been resold, whether the donated grains have been exchanged for coarse grains, etc.

Zhulan didn't want to speculate with the utmost malice, but the facts were just as guessed, and the more she thought about it, the heavier her heart became.

The next day, Zhulan personally entered the palace and handed over the ledger to the Queen Mother. After looking through it, the Queen Mother asked, "What do you think?"

"I think it's time to send someone to take a closer look instead of listening to the report."

The queen mother nodded, "You say so, but there is someone to choose?"

Zhulan smiled, "Mr. Rong has been thinking about the orphan these past few years. He knows Zhuangzi outside the city best. It is most suitable for him to check. My grandson Mingrui can also help."

The Empress Dowager didn't respond immediately, she sighed and said, "The people who managed Zhuangzi back then were sent by me."

Now there is a problem of corruption of ink, the queen mother is angry.

Zhulan, "It's because they can't control their greed."

But he thought in his heart that he probably had accepted bribes when he was in the capital. Looking at the methods of making accounts, he was obviously a veteran.

The queen mother said: "This time I will choose the steward carefully."

Afterwards, the queen mother asked a lot about the orphan, and when Zhulan left, the queen mother didn't ask Rong Enqing to inspect it.

In the afternoon, Rong Enqing came to the Hou Mansion with a happy expression on his face, "Old Madam, there is a word in the palace that I will wait for the prince's wedding and leave to inspect the orphan Zhuangzi in various states."

Zhulan asked, "Is it the Queen Mother's message?"

Rong Enqing said: "Yes, the Supreme Emperor even sent people to me, yes, Mingrui also followed."

Zhulan's thoughts turned, the Queen Mother didn't agree immediately, she must have discussed it with the Supreme Emperor, Rong Enqing Cheng Fugui Hou Ye can be said to be the cause of the Supreme Emperor, said with a smile: "The royal family attaches great importance to the orphans in various states, you should pay more attention."

Rong Enqing could see that the royal family attached great importance to orphans. The orphans in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing are about to become talents, and the country needs them. "I will."

After Rong Enqing left, Zhulan called Mingrui, "When you think about it, go to the fields and learn more about the local economy."

Mingrui, "The grandson has written it down."

Zhulan said again: "As for the clothes prepared to keep out the cold,

This inspection took a long time, and it was a crime to rush on the road in winter. "

"Grandma, don't worry, grandson will take care of herself."

Zhulan signaled the girls to go down, "At present, the Queen Mother is in charge. The emperor is waiting to see the children in the suburbs of Beijing grow into talents. The emperor sees the result. The Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing will change. You need to be more present now. Cough, help with errands. Good for your future."

Ming Rui had a smile in his eyes, "The grandson has made grandma worry."

Zhulan smiled, "You are just too worry-free, grandma wishes she could worry more about you."

A quarter of an hour later, Mingrui remembered his grandmother's explanation and left the main courtyard. He walked briskly back to the courtyard. He was indeed not in a hurry, but he must seize the opportunity before him.

When Lin Qing saw the husband came back, she felt keenly: "What did grandma say that the husband is so happy?"

Mingrui waited for the cold air on his body to dissipate, then picked up his daughter, "Grandma found a job for me."

After hearing this, Lin Qing was happy for her husband, but she was also reluctant to part with her, "I might not be able to come back after Chinese New Year."

Mingrui, "The family will be left to you."

Lin Qing leaned on Xianggong's shoulder, "Take care of yourself when you go out, and write letters often."

"good."

Lin Qing raised her head, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my parents, and I will definitely make my daughter fat."

Mingrui coughed, "My daughter is already fat enough."

Lin Qing squeezed her daughter's fat hand, and laughed, "That's really true."

In a blink of an eye, it was seven days, Boss Zhou came back with many things, five or six boxes were placed in the hall.

Zhulan, "So much fur?"

Mrs. Li pointed to a box of decorations, "Mother, there are these decorations, what do you think?"

Zhulan looked carefully, "They're all pretty delicate."

Boss Zhou explained, "Caravans from Anding in the grassland come and go frequently. These decorations are bought from foreign merchants, and so are the leathers. My son saw that the leathers are in good condition and the price is reasonable. I bought a lot of them."

Zhulan said, "This trip must have cost a lot of money."

Mrs. Li smiled, "It didn't cost much."

The eldest house has no unmarried daughters anymore, so she doesn't need to save up dowry. She has saved a lot of money over the years, and this is the first time she has spent such a large amount of money.

Zhulan asked, "How is Mingyun?"

Boss Zhou said, "Okay, this kid hasn't been wronged, and he's grown up."

Mrs. Li answered, "He also took us to ride horses, mother, it feels really good to ride horses on the grassland."

Zhulan groaned, "Can you still ride a horse?"

Li raised her chin, "My daughter-in-law is also smart."

"I think you are brave."

Boss Zhou laughed, "She is indeed courageous. As soon as the whip was thrown down, the horse rushed out. She shouted in fright before she lost her fear, and even laughed at her son for being cowardly."

Mrs. Li blushed and gave her husband a hard look.

Zhulan looked at Ran Wan, and sat quietly when she came back. It was hard for Ran Wan to separate the husband and wife, "You guys have worked hard on your way back, go and rest."

Boss Zhou pointed to a box, "Mom, this box is for you and Dad."

Zhulan nodded in response, "Okay."

Boss Zhou brought back a lot of things, and there was not much left for a cent. Yuyi and the girls got good skins. Yuyi and Yujiao were not at home, so they also sent them to their yard.

Boss Zhou couldn't be free when he came back, so he went to Zhuangzi the next day. Now it's the autumn harvest, and he needs to keep an eye on many things.

The days went by day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days before the prince's wedding, and the whole capital was extremely lively.

On the street, in the carriage of Zhouhou Mansion, Linxi said: "I really envy my cousin."

Yuwen tilted her head, "Why do you envy me?"

Linxi squeezed her purse, "My money was confiscated by my mother."

Yuwen was speechless, "What did you do again?"

Linxi felt guilty, "I bought a horse, and I fell in love with it right away, but it's hard to tame."

"Oh, little aunt is also afraid that you will be in danger."

"That can't confiscate my money."

Yuwen became curious, "Did my little uncle secretly give you money?"

Linxi said in a low tone: "You may not believe it, the dignified King Qin has not as much silver in his pocket as I do."

Yuwen burst out laughing, "Then my uncle is too spoiled with you."

Linxi sighed, "That's why I envy my cousin, fourth aunt doesn't care about you."

Yuwen, "Who made my mother so poor that only money is left."

"!!"

"Haha, just kidding, my mother knows I'm too lazy to go out."

While talking, they arrived at the painting building. Yuwen and Linxi went directly to the second floor. She said that she wanted to buy paintings for grandma and kept people staring at the painting building, waiting for a good painting. Come up, "Master Anhe County."

Yuwen, "Where is the painting?"

The shopkeeper asked: "The county lord please."

Linxi seldom came to such a place as the painting building, and the shopkeeper didn't know her. When the sisters arrived in the inner room, the painting had already unfolded.
