Chapter 1726 Earl
Zhou Shuren smiled, "I wasn't at home yesterday, but I ate the specialty you brought last night, and it still tastes familiar."
Zheng Hong said: "As long as you like it."
Zhou Shuren signaled Zheng Hong to stand aside and chat, "I thought you would rest for a while longer."
"I'm a general. It's not hard to go all the way to Beijing. Just rest for a few days."
Zhou Shuren was envious, "It's good to practice martial arts."
Zheng Hong felt relieved, he was afraid that Master Hou would be alienated from him, even if he knew Master Hou would not blame him for not contacting him.
When morning time came, Zhou Shuren stood up, Qiu Yan had a lot to ask, not only Qiu Yan, but many people were watching.
The main content of the morning court today was to re-build the river dam, and added a reservoir, and finally chose someone to take charge of it. For some vacant official positions, the emperor still did not appoint them.
Finally, today's highlight, Zheng Hong stepped forward to receive the edict, and the eloquent imperial edict concluded that Zheng Hong won the title of Earl, and there was an additional Earl Zheng in the capital.
This imperial decree stunned many people, thinking that there was something to do when they went to Beijing, but they didn't expect that they were ordered to stay in Beijing.
Zheng Hong took the order to thank him, the Zheng family has experienced too much, and they deeply understand when it is time to let go, even if they are loyal, they cannot hold on to military power.
There will be no major events now, so it is better to plan for the future of the Zheng family. It doesn't matter if he is stupid, as long as the Zheng family is good.
At the end of the morning dynasty, the newly released Earl Zheng received many congratulations, but Zhou Shuren did not leave any congratulations. Even if the Zheng family entered Beijing and handed over part of the military power, it is not suitable for the Zhou family and the Zheng family to communicate too much. good.
At noon, Zhulan brought Yuwen back to Beijing from the academy, and went to line up at the gate of the city. Yuwen recognized the Luo family's carriage, "Grandma."
Zhulan opened her eyes, "What's wrong?"
Yuwen said: "Do you think it is the Luo family's carriage?"
Zhulan looked at it and said, "The old lady of the Luo family has returned to Beijing."
Yuwen, "The Luo family has a happy event, and the old lady has to come back to host it."
Otherwise, the Luo family will make some jokes if they don't speak well.
Zhu Lan waited for the carriage to enter and saw Ji Rong. She hadn't seen her for a few days. This girl was much calmer. She used to pretend, but now she is really peaceful.
Yuwen withdrew her gaze and said in a low voice, "The Luo family will not welcome Ji Rong back."
Bamboo orchid,
"Um."
The carriage went to Beijing, and the two carriages separated. When they arrived home, they met Chang Zhong by coincidence.
Zhulan asked, "Where have you been?"
Changzhong replied: "Xinyi's birthday is coming soon, my son has ordered a gift, and he has already sat down to take it back."
Zhulan became curious, "What did you decide?"
Changzhong smiled, "Go back to the main courtyard and show mother."
Yuwen was about to leave, so she withdrew the lesson and said with a smile, "I want to see it too."
Back in the main courtyard, in front of Zhulan was a set of zodiac signs made of crystal, "It must have cost a lot of money."
Changzhong rubbed his nose, and it was indeed a lot. Most of the money he saved last year went away, "Mother, do you want to support your son?"
"My daughter-in-law is myself."
Changzhong closed the box, "The son will go back first."
Zhulan said: "Don't rush away, where you ordered the crystal, is there another crystal of the same quality?"
Changzhong became serious, "Mother, this piece of son is unique."
Otherwise it wouldn't be that expensive.
"Are there any better ones?"
"Mom, do you want to order too?"
Zhulan nodded, "Well, mother doesn't order, mother wants to buy some crystals back."
When the time comes, she will find a master to polish it herself, and she will have other uses.
Chang Zhong said: "Yes, I recently went to the capital to make a batch of crystals, and my son will accompany you there tomorrow."
"good."
The next day, Chang Zhong accompanied his mother to the shop, and saw that what his mother chose was a whole piece of crystal, "Mother, what do you want to polish?"
Zhulan, "Secret."
Changzhong couldn't figure it out, so he turned around to look at some broken crystals, and saw that there were quite a few good ones, so he wanted to choose a box.
"Shopkeeper, bring these crystals to me."
Chang Zhong took a look, "Master Gu."
Gu Sheng was also surprised, "Young Master Zhou, you also come to buy crystals."
Chang Zhong was puzzled, "Well, Mr. Gu also likes crystals?"
Gu Sheng's ears turned red, "Yeah."
Changzhong thought with his feet, he wouldn't believe it without his niece's handwriting, hehe, "Crystal is not cheap."
Gu Sheng hooked his fingertips, "I recently sold a few paintings."
Because Mr. Zhou helped to tie the knot, his paintings sold at a good price, and he has a lot of money recently.
Changzhong, "..."
Should it be said that this is the one who was pinched to death by the fourth brother, father and daughter?
Chang Zhong watched Gu Sheng choose the crystals, Gu Sheng compared them one by one, the one he picked was careful, he was really willing to spend money, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he paid.
The bamboo orchid has been picked, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Sheng lost his composure and blushed slightly, "Ma'am."
Zhulan looked at her son, and saw her son pointing at the crystal, what else did she not understand, Yuwen also saw the crystal zodiac yesterday.
After getting into the carriage, Changzhong couldn't hold back anymore, "When will Yuwen get engaged?"
Now it's almost time to bring it to the light!
Zhulan, "I don't know, let's see what Yuwen thinks."
Changzhong twitched the corner of his mouth, "I heard from Wu Shangheng that many people have asked him about Gu Sheng recently."
"oh."
"Mom, are you not in a hurry?"
Zhulan wanted to roll her eyes, "The Imperial Academy has your fourth brother, and Yuwen is staring at him again, do you think Gu Sheng can still escape?"
Changzhong, "..."
Come on, his worries were useless.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Luo's family held a wedding. The Duke of Yong'an's mansion was supposed to have a red dowry of ten miles when marrying a daughter-in-law, but the real dowry was really rich, but it was not worth ten miles of red makeup.
Yudie went to see it in person, and when she came back, Yudie said, "It's not as much as the dowry of the elder sister."
Zhulan was surprised, "No way."
Yuwen, "I guess it was converted into silver and brought into the Luo family, so the dowry seems to be much less."
Yu Yi answered, "I agree, the Luo family is short of money."
Thinking about the woman's dowry, the Luo family is really shameless.
Zhulan, "Miss Zhuo is not easy to handle."
Yuwen nodded, "There will be trouble in the future."
Zoya hoped that the dowry would be richer with more shops and fields than cashing it into cash.
In the study room of the palace, Zhou Shuren listened to Lord Gong and others discussing that General Sun wanted to expand the army. It was true that he lost a lot in the first war, but it was also lost after the expansion.
The emperor looked at the map, and waited for the discussion to subside before looking away, "So you don't agree?"
Lord Gong, "This year, I don't think it is necessary to expand the army."
Several generals looked at each other and agreed with Lord Gong's words.
The emperor got up and pointed at a station in the grassland with his fingertips, "This is the only way for the caravan."
Master Gong and several generals shrank their pupils, General Sun's purpose of seeking military expansion was not pure.
The emperor smiled and said: "It is really difficult to be stationed all the year round."
Zhou Shuren raised his head, some places are indeed difficult, and the only way for this kind of caravan needs to be considered.
There was no smile on the emperor's face, "I heard."
Then it was gone, paused without saying a word, the ministers in the study were silent.
