Chapter 1665 Deed

In the afternoon, Zhulan wanted to lie down for a while, so Changzhong left the main courtyard to find his niece Yuwen, and the girl signaled her to be in the study. Changzhong was surprised, "You're actually painting?"

Yuwen put away the pen, "Why can't I draw?"

"I haven't seen you come to the study a few times."

Yuwen washed her hands and signaled the girl to wash her pen, "Is there something wrong with my little uncle coming to see my niece?"

Chang Zhong put down the post in his hand, "Look at it."

Yuwen picked it up suspiciously, then put it down and said, "Zhuo Guyu not only calculated Gu Sheng's reputation, but also wanted to destroy Gu Sheng's marriage."

Not everyone can accept that Gu Sheng sells paintings. If Gu Sheng really appreciates Gu Sheng's paintings, Gu Sheng will be completely famous in the capital.

Changzhong, "I think it's pretty good."

Yuwen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Gu Sheng doesn't care if I think about it."

Chang Zhong thought that if Gu Sheng cared about it, he would not sell paintings. Gu Sheng is very practical, "I heard that Gu Sheng bought a shop again?"

Yuwen, "Where did little uncle hear about it?"

The little uncle hasn't seen Gu Sheng for a long time, maybe she hasn't been stared at for a long time.

Chang Zhong smiled, "His shop was bought through the future son-in-law."

Wu Shiheng's temperament is very popular in the capital, and he is the future son-in-law, so he has a bit of face everywhere. The shops in the capital are not easy to buy, and Gu Sheng has no such contacts. The future son-in-law is helping.

Yuwen, "How long has it been? Mr. Gu is very good at saving money."

"Yeah, he's a man who lives."

When going down to the yamen, at the gate of the Imperial Academy, Gu Sheng hated Zhuo Guyu the most, every time he found him to talk to, he would go down to the yamen, because there were the most people.

Zhuo Guyu couldn't help but smile, "I'm waiting for Mr. Gu."

Gu Sheng had a faint smile on his face, "I will definitely be there on time."

Hearing someone laughing, Changzhi turned his head and saw the two concubines were snickering. When he noticed that his eyes were no longer smiling, he looked at Zhuo Guyu, "The official will be there on time."

Gu Sheng raised it in his heart,

He knew Master Zhou didn't care about his selling paintings, and he wasn't sure whether Master Zhou cared about his paintings being appreciated. Seeing Master Zhou nodding to him, Gu Sheng let go of his tightly clenched palms, which were already sweating.

Zhuo Guyu smiled at Gu Sheng, turned away and left without a smile on his face, he didn't understand, how did Gu Sheng fall into the emperor's eyes?

The end of the new year is approaching, and there is no major event in the court. The emperor asked Gu Sheng to study in the palace many times, but he didn't get it once. He cannot be suppressed by Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng waited for his elder brother to pick him up, recently it was the elder brother who picked him up.

Seeing his younger brother's expressionless face, Gu Yan asked, "But what happened?"

Gu Sheng told about Zhuo Guyu's invitation, and Gu Yan turned his head to look at his younger brother, "You have accumulated a lot of wealth in the past six months, so don't sell paintings when you ask for paintings in the future."

Gu Sheng, "Someone asked me to paint, the emperor knows about it."

Gu Yan was stunned, "Huh?"

The emperor actually knew about this?

Gu Sheng recalled that day, when he knelt down to plead guilty, the emperor was not angry, smiled and asked him to get up, and said that he would live his life, he went out of the palace in a trance, and when the cold wind blew again and again, he felt at ease, at least he would not be afraid in the future Was brought up to speak out.

He really didn't care about Zhuo Guyu appreciating his paintings, he was not happy to be tricked.

At the door of the household department, Zhou Shuren twitched his beard when he saw the fat face on the window of the Wang family's carriage, and stepped forward, "Why did you come to the household department instead after leaving the Yamen?"

Wang Zuo, "Come up, I'll take you home."

Zhou Shuren, "...my son or grandson has always picked me up."

Wang Zhuo, "..."

Zhou Shuren laughed, and got into the carriage anyway, Wang Jue glared at Zhou Shuren, "How old are you, you still take advantage of me."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "You can take advantage of you no matter how old you are."

Wang Zuo snorted, "I'm here to find you on business."

"I knew I wouldn't be sent home for no reason."

Wang Jue took out a book from the carriage cabinet, "This Mr. Fengqing is my sister-in-law, right?"

Zhou Shuren drank tea to warm up, "You guessed it and asked me?"

Wang Jue pinched the book, "There is more than one volume, what about the others?"

Zhou Shuren drank his tea slowly, "Just wait."

When Wang Jue put the book back, he had a lot of calculations in his mind, so he wouldn't wait, since his granddaughter-in-law was there anyway, "Many people must have guessed who Mr. Fengqing is?"

Zhou Shuren sneered, "There are many smart people in Beijing."

The princes have learned these books since they were young. A person’s secret is a secret. It is not a secret if there are many people who know it. They just know that they will not spread it out, and they will not ask him for answers. To put it bluntly, they don’t want to be compared by women. So I don't want to talk about it.

The more the emperor promotes, the more they will keep silent.

Wang Jue touched the booklet, "It's a pity for sister-in-law."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, "Does the Wang family study use this book?"

Wang Zuo, "Of course I have to learn. I have already heard that it will be sold in bookstores in seven days."

Zhou Shuren touched the contract in his arms and felt better.

Wang Zuo asked, "Will the imperial examination be changed in the future?"

Zhou Shuren asked back, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a change?"

Wang Zuo was silent, and then said quietly: "You said that innovation comes only when there is change, so change is right."

It's just that he was a little uncomfortable with the inheritance for a long time.

Zhou Shuren smiled in his eyes, "Only with changes can we have a better future."

Being stuck in a rut is not bad, and progress requires change.

At the gate of Zhouhou Mansion, Wang Zuo looked at Zhou Shuren who got off the carriage, "I already drove you to the gate of the house, why don't you treat me to dinner?"

Zhou Shuren waved his hands without looking back, "No please, I will leave without seeing you off."

Wang Jue watched Zhou Shuren enter the house speechlessly, and then looked at the book at hand. Yang was really surprising, and then he sighed, how can he be a simple person who knows the inside story of being able to manage several Zhuangzi so well , Many people can't sleep.

In the main courtyard, after reading the deed, Zhulan raised her head when she heard footsteps. Shuren had already changed her clothes and came out, "Give me two hundred taels a year? Did I read it correctly every year?"

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, every year."

Zhulan pointed to the deed and said, "As long as the heirs of the Zhou family are around, there will be two hundred taels a year."

If the Zhou family encounters a catastrophe in the future, with this deed, as long as the dynasty remains unchanged, the royal family will recognize that two hundred taels a year will be enough to support scholars and live a surplus life.

And this is not a guarantee in disguise. If the Zhou family does not rebel or destroy the clan, the descendants will have a way out. This is a guarantee for the descendants.

Zhou Shuren felt lighthearted because of the contract, "This is what I bargained with the emperor, and the emperor wants to give you a sum of money."

He was a fool to make a one-shot deal. These books were sorted out by his wife with painstaking efforts. People's memory is limited and they don't have a photographic memory. Many topics in the books were compiled by his wife. There are many books on the bookshelf, all painstakingly.

Zhulan put away the deed carefully, "I'll ask the kitchen to cook some more dishes you like. Today you are the hero, let's eat later."

Zhou Shuren watched his daughter-in-law dig out the box with a smile, and saw her thinking deeply, "What's wrong?"
