Chapter 1654 Fame and Fortune

Mrs. Li replied, "Second brother and sister packed it up by themselves, and brought everything they could carry, a full four-wheel load of luggage, not to mention food, and even a lot of charcoal."

Zhulan knew that Mingrui had suffered for this errand, if it wasn't for the errand she couldn't wait, she would also want her grandson to leave in the next spring, but the children couldn't wait for the winter.

During this inspection, they also brought the banknotes and food provided by the Queen Mother, which were given to the orphans in various states by the Queen Mother on behalf of the emperor. The days after winter were sad, and the children were waiting for the money and food.

Zhulan thought of wool and asked, "Can the children in the village know how to weave?"

After a few seconds of reaction, Mrs. Li said: "I have already taught the children, but we just weave it and wear it on the body to stab people. The children are trying to figure out a way."

Zhulan asked, "Wu Ming didn't think of a way?"

Mrs. Li, "Livestock has only been bred this year, and Wu Ming has just started farming."

Zhulan hummed, she has been in the ancient times for so many years, and she does not underestimate the ancients at all.

After talking for a while, Zhulan was a little tired, and fell asleep drowsily leaning on the pillow.

Mrs. Li signaled Qingxue and the others to keep their voices down, and then cautiously left the house. On the way back to the main courtyard, she met her second sibling, "Mother is asleep."

Mrs. Zhao turned around, "Then I'll wait until my mother wakes up."

Mrs. Li asked, "Why are you looking for your mother?"

Mrs. Zhao said: "It's nothing serious. I want Mingrui to visit the orphans in various states, so I sorted out some old cotton clothes of Zhuangzi's servants. I want to ask mother whether Mingrui should take them there or send someone to send them over."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li said, "Mingrui has two days left to leave, so I'll prepare some."

Cotton has been scarce in recent years. The servants who rely on their own family to survive can still get cotton to make new winter clothes. The old winter clothes are kept by the family. She is thinking about exchanging some cotton cloth for old clothes.

Zhulan found out in the afternoon that in fact, the servants with the most clothes are not the servants, but the masters of the Zhou family. It's a pity that none of the clothes can be donated, "I'll send someone to ask Marquis Rong."

Qingxue went there in person, brought back news, and followed along.

The old cotton-padded clothes of Zhou Jiaguang's subordinates were loaded into the car. Of course, the old cotton-padded clothes of the servants were not taken for nothing. If you need cloth, you can exchange it for cloth, and if you don't need it, you can exchange it for money.

The servants don't want it at first,

It was Zhulan who insisted on accepting it.

On the day of Mingrui's departure, Zhou Shuren went to court early, and Li Zhao came over, "You will make plans for your grandson."

Zhou Shuren knew that ever since the emperor took Master Wen and others to see the orphans, many people in the capital stared at the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. change.

It was no secret that Rong Enqing took Mingrui to inspect the place. If it hadn't been for the prince's wedding, it would have spread long ago.

Zhou Shuren didn't say a word, Li Zhao continued: "Don't pretend to be ignorant."

"Don't talk about plotting, my grandson will go to Zhuangzi to teach orphans if he has nothing to do. If not, who will I take with my grandson?"

Li Zhao lowered his voice, "You and I have had a good friendship these past few years, right?"

Zhou Shuren touched his conscience and nodded, "So?"

Li Zhao smiled, "My fourth grandson is also a scholar. You see, your grandson went out to Beijing with the Marquis Rong for inspections. How about a few lessons for my grandson?"

Zhou Shuren, "..."

This man is thicker than him.

Li Zhao is in a hurry, the prince is already married, and his Li family doesn't want to seek the prince's back house. You will regret it if you speak.

Zhou Shuren still didn't say a word, thinking in his heart, he knew that Li Zhao spoke first because of his friendship, and then more people came looking for him, "Zhuangzi has always been in charge of my wife."

Li Zhao's eyes lit up, "Thank you."

Zhou Shuren looked at Li Zhao who was rushing away, and continued walking slowly.

Lord Lin stepped forward, "Uncle."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Are you Mingrui?"

Master Lin smiled and nodded, "Well, today is the day for Mingrui to travel."

Zhou Shuren has always had a good impression of Ming Rui and Yue Fei. After the Zhou family and the Lin family got engaged, the censor had someone else. In recent years, the Lin family has helped him a lot. "I sent Shen Xing to follow Ming Rui."

After thinking for a while, he said: "There are people around Rong Hou, and their safety is fine."

Master Lin felt at ease, he also wanted to go to the Hou's mansion in person, but he felt that there was a lot of fanfare. He was happy that his son-in-law had an errand, and he sighed in his heart that Zhou Hou worried about his grandson.

Zhou Shuren said, "I remember that the second son of your third brother is Juren, and he is currently at home?"

Master Lin, "Yes, this child is not suitable for officialdom."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I heard Ming Rui said that he likes to count."

He remembered it clearly, because the child took the books compiled by his wife from Mingrui.

Master Lin was surprised, "Mingrui still told you these things?"

Zhou Shuren said: "You can ask him to visit Zhuangzi."

Master Lin understood, and he was overjoyed, "I will send someone back when I leave the palace."

"Um."

In Zhouhou's mansion, Zhulan unexpectedly came to visit the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The two families have a good friendship, but they haven't had a close relationship, so Zhulan and this lady have a face-to-face friendship.

It was too sudden to come to the door in person today. After hearing the intention, Zhulan smiled, "Zhuangzi has many children, and he really needs a sir. Mr. Li's family wants to go and I will let the boy lead the way."

Mrs. Li didn't expect it to go so smoothly, "You don't take the exam?"

Zhulan smiled instead, "No need, someone will arrange it when we get to Zhuangzi, but the ugly words come first, if I'm not suitable to be a gentleman, I can't help it."

Mrs. Li said: "I understand."

Zhulan sent off Mrs. Li's family, and said quietly: "Everyone wants to participate."

Some are for fame, some are for profit. Now that she has developed, she is happy that the emperor attaches great importance to education, but also depressed that Zhuangzi has really become an academy. As a manager, she does not know whether she can sit still.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren entered the palace and jokingly told the emperor about his conversation with Li Zhao, "This Zhuangzi has always been managed by my wife, and I respect my wife, so I asked Li Zhao to ask her."

The emperor has been in a good mood recently. Hearing this, "the nose is very good."

Zhou Shuren, "Have you decided?"

The emperor twirled the string of beads, "It's not in a hurry."

He said that he was not in a hurry, but in fact he already had plans. He would listen to Zhuangzi's reports on a regular basis. The better the children were taught, the more touched he was.

Zhou Shuren said again what he had said to the Lin family, "That kid is good at counting, Zhuangzi needs a good counting man."

The emperor didn't care about these things, he thought of the Royal Orphanage, thought twice in his mind, and then said after returning to his senses: "I heard something from the prince."

Zhou Shuren was stunned for a moment, then realized, "The prince won't talk too much."

The emperor coughed, and the crown prince would not say anything, but he knew who the crown prince had investigated, "It really surprised me."

Zhou Shuren was speechless, "Is the emperor busy recently?"

Your Majesty is busy. There are endless things to deal with every day. He gets up early in the morning and goes to bed late at night. "I also need to relax."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

So his family became the emperor's joy?
