Chapter 1741 No Surprise
The latest website: The prince has more energy to go to the early court with his eldest son, and the emperor smiles every day. The royal family and the Shangguan family are happy, but the family that wants to make a plan is terrible.
Can't show it yet, congratulate the prince with a fake smile.
Zhou Shuren watched the smirk for several days in a row, and his back broke out in cold sweat. The boss Shangguan couldn't bear it and asked for leave.
Of course, everyone still speculated about Xisan's riddle, but unfortunately they couldn't find it out. Zhouhou didn't get closer to the prince, the more he couldn't find out, the easier it was to think about it, as if there was a big secret.
Zhou Shuren resented the temptation, and said to Mr. Wei: "Isn't this looking for abuse?"
Master Wei's heart trembled. He listened to Zhou Hou for two consecutive days. He opened his eyes and laughed dryly, "I won't give up if I can't figure it out."
Zhou Shuren moved his gloved hands, "Do you want to know?"
Master Wei shook his head, "No, I don't want to."
Zhou Shuren laughed out loud, his youngest son's father-in-law was a little timid, "It's the end of the new year again, and this year is the last time to pay the salary."
Lord Wei exhaled slightly, talking about the salary with joy in his tone, "I don't know if there will be a reward at the end of this year."
After copying so many officials' homes, this year should be a good one!
Zhou Shuren thought, "There should be."
Master Wei smiled, regardless of his family background, more rewards are also good, "Master Wang hasn't come to court for two days."
Zhou Shuren hummed, the old man was about to lose his strength, and he still wanted to survive the New Year with his exhaustion.
In the afternoon, Zhouhou Mansion, Minghui came back from outside the city, his cloak was covered in snow, Zhulan frowned, "You don't even shake the snow before you come in."
Minghui gave the cloak to the servant, "Grandson has good news, I forgot to shake the snow for a moment."
Zhulan snorted, Minghui will not be going to the academy soon, this winter is only three times this time, she heard that Shao Ting has returned to normal with Minghui, "What happy event?"
Minghui rubbed his hands and warmed himself by the fire, "Miss Jiang is getting engaged."
Zhulan, "Oh."
Minghui was not surprised to see grandma,
"You know?"
Zhulan put down the book in her hand, "There is nothing in the whole college that I don't know about. Miss Jiang and Miss Shao Ting are very close, so Shao Xun and Miss Jiang are not surprised."
Minghui, "The grandson is so excited to tell you!"
Zhulan also knew that Shao Ting was leading the line. The two girls brainwashed the golden partner and persuaded many people to send the girls to college. Girl, she thinks Minghui has a good eye for people.
Minghui said: "Grandson thinks about Miss Jiang coming back in a few days to talk to you."
Zhulan thought the same way, after all, she was the caretaker of the Hou Mansion, and she also helped to be a matchmaker on a regular basis.
Minghui didn't know Miss Jiang's family background, "I guess we'll get engaged first, and we'll talk about getting married after passing the exam next year."
"Not enough for you to worry about."
Minghui asked, "Grandma, will you add makeup to Miss Jiang?"
"The emperor handed her over to our Marquis Mansion and I will prepare to add makeup."
Minghui peeled the oranges, "The Shao family has no family background."
Zhulan waved her hand, "Okay, don't disturb me, you go back and rest too."
Minghui swallowed the orange, "Grandma, then I'm leaving."
Just after Zhulan left, Mrs. Li came, holding the list of annual gifts in his hand, "Mother, there are more in-laws this year, so I don't know how to draw up the list of annual gifts."
The youngest son of her parents-in-law has the same lifeblood. She looked through a lot of gift lists, grabbed her hair several times, but still couldn't write, so she could only ask her mother-in-law.
Zhulan pondered for a while, "It's 20% more than the Ran family and other in-laws."
Changzhong is Mingyun's younger uncle, 20% more is enough.
Mrs. Li has the bottom line: "My son will go back and draw up the list."
Zhulan looked at the thick annual gift list, which was just an important gift list, "I've been working hard lately."
Mrs. Li smiled, "Liu Jia helps my daughter-in-law."
She would also point out her daughter-in-law from the sidelines, and the Marquis of Rong An also received a lot of annual gifts, so the daughter-in-law was in a hurry.
Zhulan said: "Take Liu Jia with you when you go out, and talk more about the taboos of female relatives when you have nothing to do."
Women who hold grudges really hold grudges. If you accidentally offend them, they will trip you up next time. It’s better to avoid it if you can.
Especially the women in the ancient harem, many of them suffered from mental illness as a result of the house fighting, either they had a strong desire to control, or they were one-sided and so on!
Mrs. Li, "There have been too many banquets recently."
"The crown prince gave birth to the eldest son, and the royal family can relax when they are in a good mood."
Since the death of the Supreme Emperor, the court has been tidied up by the emperor again, and the number of banquets has decreased a lot. Even if there are banquets, they dare not laugh out loud. Now that the rain is over, the royal family wants to relax.
Mrs. Li thought about what she had heard, "I heard that the crown prince wants to accept a side concubine."
Zhulan, "I can't believe it."
Mrs. Li smiled, "So my daughter-in-law just listened and didn't lose her mind."
The Crown Princess has an eldest son, and the Crown Prince is not crazy. These rumors can only mean that some people are too eager.
In a blink of an eye, the Wei family returned to the New Year's ceremony, and the Zhouhou Mansion's New Year's gift was given early, so there was no way to come and go too much.
Zhulan took the Wei family's gift in return, um, it was the same as the Zhou family's gift, with a different emphasis.
Zhulan asked, "Is Changzhong at home?"
Qingxue replied, "Young master went out early in the morning."
Zhulan put down the gift list and said, "Select Changzhong if he can use them and send them to his yard."
Qingxue, "Yes."
Mrs. Li asked, "Mother, my younger brother is dating Miss Wei, right?"
Zhulan, "It should be."
Next year Changzhong will leave Beijing to go back to his hometown to take the examination for a scholar, and it will be a long time since he goes there, the young man is very reluctant to part with it.
In a foreign shop, Changzhong accompanied his fiancée to choose things, stood and looked at them for a while, "Why did you choose all the things for men?"
Wei Xinyi asked, "Do you like it?"
Chang Zhong really doesn’t lack these things. He has received many foreign things, which are more delicate than those in the shop. However, “I like whatever you choose.”
Wei Xinyi said sweetly, "Take them with you when you leave."
Chang Zhong calculated the price silently, and estimated that his fiancée's purse would be flat, "Okay."
Wei Xinyi's heart ached when she was paying the bill, she paid the money with such a face that she saved up with great difficulty.
Changzhong already knew his fiancée very well, look at the hand holding the purse, it hurts!
Wei Xinyi took a deep breath, she could continue to save, "Move it to your car."
"Enough atmosphere."
Wei Xinyi grinned, "Come on, let's go choose a pen."
Chang Zhong looked sideways, "Still buying it?"
"Um."
Chang Zhong wanted to say that he had too many famous pens, and his father had more warehouses, so he never bought pens himself. Looking into his fiancée's bright eyes, he smiled, "Listen to you."
After the two went to buy a pen, they went to the bookstore. This time, Chang Zhong paid Wei Xinyi to buy travel notes.
Zhou Shuren invited two hours to see Mr. Wang. He was in a bad mood when he came out of Wang's mansion. He wanted to stroll around the street to see the fireworks. In the end, he met his youngest son and future daughter-in-law. Both of them stopped riding in the carriage. , Talking and laughing all the way sprinkle dog food.
Zhou Shuren was patted on the shoulder. There are not many people who can pat him on the shoulder in the capital. He turned to look at Li Zhao, "You."
Li Zhao was wearing casual clothes, "Why are you covering your stomach, where is it uncomfortable?"
Zhou Shuren, "I'm panicking."
Li Zhao, "Huh?"
