Chapter 1819 Little Apprentice
Chang Zhi raised his eyebrows, "You are wrong, it should be said that our family can educate children."
My children are indeed talented, and it is said that if jade is not carved, it will not be a tool, and if children are talented, it is useless if they are not cultivated well.
Master Qi is even more sour. Who doesn't want to be a teacher of the Zhou family, but in the end, except for Zhou Hou who took in a student when he first made his fortune, there is nothing to do. It is said that Zhou Hou's students have done well in foreign affairs, which is one of the reasons for the Suanhou Mansion. Well, the Hou Mansion has abundant resources so they can be taught by their own family members, they can only be jealous and say more acid words.
Changzhi asked, "Did you bet on the question?"
Master Qi stroked his beard, "Well, do you want to hear it?"
Changzhi took a step back, "Forget it, you pretend I didn't ask."
He didn't want to think too much after hearing it, it's better not to listen.
Lord Qi, "!!"
Chang Zhi left quickly, fearing that he would be held back. Mr. Qi wanted to hit someone. Is there someone who would tease him like this?
In the afternoon, Zhulan took a rest to talk about her eldest brother and sister-in-law, "I told them to stay a little longer, they don't want to stay and don't know if they'll be home or not."
Zhou Shuren spoke for his brother-in-law, "My brother-in-law is worried about my family. If Wu Chun doesn't come to Beijing, this is not my home."
Zhulan was sad, "It's the last time."
Zhou Shuren said: "How about inviting Second Brother to the capital?"
"Second brother is not as healthy as elder brother."
That's why Changzhi didn't invite him.
Zhou Shuren didn't like his daughter-in-law being sad, so he said in a low voice, "I secretly asked someone to bet on our son for the number one prize."
Zhulan was strangely silent, Jian Shuren cleared his throat in doubt, "I heard the odds are quite high, so I also asked someone to bet on it."
Zhou Shuren was overjoyed, and the husband and wife still had a heart-to-heart connection, "How much did you bet?"
Zhulan squinted her eyes and asked back, "Tell me how much you bet first."
But he was counting the money in Shuren's hand in his heart, wondering if he had stolen it or not.
Zhou Shuren knew his wife better, "I took three hundred taels from the boss, two hundred taels from Changyi, two hundred taels from Changzhi, and I pooled three hundred taels to bet a thousand taels."
Ahem, this is years ago when he hinted that his sons would respect his money, and it was not in vain for him to ask his son for money.
Zhulan was speechless, "Okay, they can help you hide it."
Can Zhou Shuren say that he threatened his sons? Of course not, "I owe a lesson!"
Zhulan said: "I also bet one thousand taels."
Zhou Shuren smiled even more happily, "Now the odds are one to twelve."
Zhulan also smiled, "I've made up my mind, I've got the money, and I'll share the rest of Changzhong's money with Minghui."
Zhou Shuren could count it as soon as he heard it, "You want to help Minghui?"
Zhulan sighed, "I want to be fair. I heard Mrs. Li explain that Hui sold the gems given to him by his second uncle. Unfortunately, I can't subsidize Minghui alone."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "Is it really sold? Changyi loves Minghui and secretly gave Minghui a lot of good things. Does Changyi know?"
Zhulan nodded, "I know, this kid told Chang Yi about selling gems, and he wouldn't sell them without Chang Yi's permission."
Zhou Shuren twitched the corner of his mouth, "I told you why Nian Changyi is so generous."
Zhulan laughed, "So it means that Huichang is like me, and he gets the second most good things after being beaten."
Among the grandchildren, Mingyun is the eldest grandson, and Changyi will not surpass Mingyun. Except for Mingrui and Mingfeng, the other nephews get a lot of good things.
Zhou Shuren asked, "How much money did Minghui give Mrs. Li?"
"First I gave nine hundred taels, and after selling the gems, I gave another one thousand one hundred taels."
This is the high price that Xuehan specially gave when she knew about it!
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "There are two thousand taels more, plus the prepared dowry is a lot."
Zhulan asked again, "When will Wu Ming return to the capital?"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "We have to wait a little longer."
When Wu Ming trained all the people sent by the emperor, the emperor was afraid that Wu Ming would leave and become chaotic.
The couple talked about Wu Ming's younger siblings, who each have their own homes. Wu Ming married and followed her husband and would not come back. Except for letters to explain the situation, they hadn't seen anyone for a long time.
The next day, Zhou Shuren stayed after the morning court,
The emperor held his grandson in his arms, and said in a sour tone, "Recently, you miss your little son, and I didn't hold the child to show you. This child is called Master."
The emperor was happy that his grandson spoke up early. I don't know if he taught too much, or because he saw Zhou Shuren too much. The grandson called many parents, not his grandpa, but called master inarticulately. He confirmed it. He was so sour several times that he had no appetite for a whole day.
Zhou Shuren hugged the little apprentice with a smile, how can I put it, the feeling is different after seeing him a lot, especially when he opened his mouth and shouted first. Smart, don't just remember it.
The emperor snorted, but luckily the grandson was the second one to call out to grandpa.
The crown prince is aggrieved, his son is often taken by his father, it's fine if his father doesn't teach his son to call him father, but he came in third!
Seeing his grandson pulling Zhou Shuren's beard again, the emperor felt relieved and said jokingly, "I bet Changzhong with you, and if I lose, you will give me money."
Zhou Shuren couldn't say a word, "How much did the emperor suppress?"
"Not much, ten thousand taels."
The prince interjected, "Gu also bet ten thousand taels."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
Although he knew that the emperor would not favor Changzhong for the sake of 10,000 taels, do you father and son trust Changzhong too much?
The emperor bets purely for pleasure, while the prince bets for money.
The emperor said: "How about selling the questions you gave Changzhong to me?"
Zhou Shuren thought of his son's table full of test questions, ahem, his son has really done a lot of questions this year, "Is the emperor interested?"
The emperor signaled the prince to come over with two sets of questions, "This is for Changzhong's wishes, and the fourth brother brought it into the palace. The questions you gave are really comprehensive."
Zhou Shuren said quietly: "Who makes me want to have a number one scholar in my family!"
He knows the value of these questions. Wu Ming is a true theologist, Chang Zhi is an all-round scholar, and he is not bad. With Rong Chuan, if these questions are leaked out, they will definitely cause trouble.
The emperor paid more attention to the examination papers, not only stereotyped essays, but also many other miscellaneous studies. These papers have alluded to the reform of the imperial examination. "All the papers made by Changzhong are sold to me."
Zhou Shuren is rare in money, but he can't ask for money, "I love money but know what money should be received. These papers need to be presented by the emperor with both hands."
He hoped that the imperial court would get all-round talents with real talents!
The emperor smiled, "I knew you would say that, but I didn't even have a penny prepared."
Zhou Shuren hugged the emperor's grandson and said, "Little apprentice."
The eldest grandson of the emperor called out a very crisp, "Master."
emperor,"......"
Prince, "..."
Zhou Shuren felt relieved, and talked to the emperor's eldest grandson with a smile!
Time flies, and the spring is finally over. Changzhong packed his luggage and waited quietly listening to the shouts. He looked at Yang Xiu from the corner of his eye. After all, Yang Xiu was young and had no reliable elders. He had already discovered that Yang Xiu was stubborn Hold the exam.
