Chapter 1742

The latest website: Zhou Shuren put his hand down, stopped staring at his son and turned his head to ask, "It's rare for you to take a rest, do you still have leisure time to go shopping?"

Li Zhao saw that Zhou Hou was fine, so he knew how to tease him, and pointed to the teahouse beside him, "Will you drink tea?"

"good."

The two went to the teahouse, and Zhou Shuren went to the Wang Mansion to change into casual clothes at the household department, but the casual clothes did not attract attention.

I ordered a pot of good tea and ordered some dried fruit to eat.

Zhou Shuren wasn't in the mood to talk much, and he didn't make a sound while eating dried fruit, looking out of the window through the glass window from time to time.

Li Zhao made a guess as soon as he turned his head, "Is Mr. Wang bad?"

Zhou Shuren put down the dried fruit in his hand, "Yes."

Li Zhao also sighed, he was suffering from old age, "There will be such a day."

Zhou Shuren didn't know if he could reach Mr. Wang's level, and he didn't want to talk about it and asked, "You haven't said why you went to the street?"

Li Zhao replied, "I have an appointment in the morning."

I didn't say who I made an appointment with.

Zhou Shuren didn't ask the bottom line, but pointed to the teapot, "I've poured a stomach full of tea, can I still drink it?"

Li Zhao rolled his eyes, "Sometimes I really don't like your talking."

Zhou Shuren felt a little better, "There will be a silver reward at the end of this year."

The emperor took the initiative to mention it, fearing that he would pick up the money and refuse to give it, so he persuaded him for a long time. Although he was also in pain, he knew in his heart what he should give this year.

Li Zhao asked, "How much?"

Zhou Shuren replied, "According to the salary of the official rank, it is converted into silver, and there is a salary of three months."

Li Zhao calculated, "Hey, you are so generous this time."

Zhou Shuren was also in great pain, "The crown prince has an eldest son, the emperor is happy."

Li Zhao stroked his beard, "Sure enough, he copied his family and made a fortune."

Without the money stolen from the house, the emperor would not be so generous.

Zhou Shuren said: "There is also the dedication of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion.

"

Li Zhao grinned, "Yes, yes, and half of the wealth of the Duke's mansion, tsk tsk, the old Duke was really greedy back then, he kept a line of life, he crossed the border like a locust."

The tone was full of sarcasm.

Zhou Shuren's heart is indeed like scratching the ground. Half of the wealth of the Duke's Mansion is even more in the emperor's heart. After taking so much money and getting the title, you actually threw away the emperor and forgot who gave you everything. "Now the world Everyone knows the wealth of the Duke's Mansion."

Li Zhao thought that the newspaper deliberately emptied a page to write about half of the net worth donated by the Duke's government, so he couldn't help but take a breath, "It's cruel enough."

Where did the money come from, Jiangnan, the emperor spread it out like a blunt knife cutting flesh, the newspaper sent a signal to the Jiangnan family, oh, the Duke's Mansion is not enough, the hatred that has been suppressed for many years can be reported.

Zhou Shuren doesn't sympathize with the Duke's family. The Duke donates half of the family property to ensure his life, but the emperor will not let you go. If you donate all of it, the emperor can't touch you if he wants to, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

Zhou Shuren and Li Zhao chatted for half an hour before they left. Zhou Shuren's mood improved a lot.

In Zhouhou's mansion, Zhulan was seeing Jiang Ling and Shao Xun. The two had been formally engaged in the college. Today, Miss Jiang personally brought Shao Xun as a gift for the new year.

Shao Xun was cautious, it was the first time he came to the Hou's mansion when he was in contact with the son of the Hou's mansion.

Zhulan motioned for the two to sit down, "You guys still come here in person, it's so cold."

Jiang Ling said: "There is a carriage to keep out the wind. You have been taking care of the little girl, and the little girl should be brought here in person."

Zhulan signaled Qingxue to bring over the prepared list, "It just so happens that you are here, so I don't have to send it."

Jiang Ling took the list, "Thank you madam for caring about the little girl."

Zhulan likes Miss Jiang, "Stay with me for dinner later."

Jiang Ling responded with a smile. She used to work hard to maintain the relationship with the Marquis Zhou Mansion for herself, but now she has to maintain it even more for her husband's sake. She knows that Madam likes her generosity, so she always acts with sincerity.

After eating, Jiang Ling and Shao Xun left the Marquis Mansion and returned to the carriage. Jiang Ling looked at the list, and found that there were some hard-to-buy food and some books, "Take a look."

Shao Xun felt embarrassed, "I won't watch it."

It was only after getting engaged that he knew that his fiancée had a big village and a shop, and he also knew why his fiancée hurt her eyes. He already admired her fiancée's perseverance, but after knowing the reason, he admired her even more.

Jiang Ling smiled, "Here is the book my wife gave you."

"For me?"

Jiang Ling pointed to the books on the gift list, "These books are for the imperial examination, and I don't take the imperial examination."

Shao Xun's eyes widened a lot, "I entrusted you with good luck."

Jiang Ling didn't think so. The Hou Mansion would not take care of Shao Xun when taking care of her. The attention to Shao Xun should come from Shao Ting, but it cannot be said.

Time flies, and the closer to the end of the year, the horse-drawn carriages on the street can no longer attract people's attention. If you see too many, no matter how long the caravan is, you will not be curious.

This day, when Linxi came to the Hou's mansion, and followed the young general behind her, Zhulan smiled when she saw it, "Jiaqing is back."

Linxi sat next to grandma, "Look, he has changed too much."

Zhulan looked at it carefully, "It's true that the changes are not small, the person is taller and stronger."

Lu Jiaqing saluted, "Hello, old lady."

Zhulan pointed to the chair, "Don't come and sit outside."

Lu Jiaqing sat down, "I went to Beijing yesterday, and the boy gave some leather to the old lady. It's not expensive leather, it's all the boy's wish."

Linxi continued, "His riding and shooting is very good. Yesterday he competed with the chief of the palace guards. My father said he was a natural general."

Zhulan smiled, "Well, now I have the air of a general."

Then he said to Lu Jiaqing: "I don't like the kindness you brought."

Lu Jiaqing bent his eyes, and was about to speak when Chang Zhong came in, "I can hardly recognize you, you have changed too much."

Lu Jiaqing smiled, "You have changed a lot."

Changzhong, "You are only allowed to grow taller."

He has grown very fast this year, and he is very satisfied with his current height.

Lu Jiaqing, "Will you make gestures later?"

Changzhong sat down and shook his head, "You are bullying people now."

He sent things to Lu Jiaqing from time to time, how could he not inquire about him, I don't know how many words of praise Lu Jiaqing he heard.

Linxi, "Little uncle, he is very powerful now, don't compare yourself to him."

Chang Zhong clicked his tongue twice, "The aggressive method is useless."

He knows how much he has, so he won't go up there to seek abuse.

Seeing the girl bringing the fruit, Zhu Lan greeted, "Don't just talk and eat the fruit."

Changzhong prefers frozen pears, the room is dry and hot, and it is comfortable to eat frozen pears, so he motioned for the girl to bring some up.

Zhulan listened, "You are greedy because of your young age."

Chang Zhong chuckled, "It's fine if the son is a man."

"Then don't eat too much cold."

After a while, Mrs. Li came over, "Linxi is here."

Linxi stood up, "Auntie."

Zhulan asked, "Is there something wrong with your expression?"

Mrs. Li nodded, "Yulu sent someone to send a message that Mr. Wang is not well."

Zhulan knew it well, "Yulu's parents-in-law have come to Beijing."

Li said: "It will take a day or two to reach the capital."
