Chapter 634
Zhulan hugged her son and was about to ride in the carriage for a while. Fortunately, the wobbly carriage was covered with a quilt, so it wasn't particularly bumpy. As soon as she left the city, Zhulan was thinking about Zhou Shuren.
At noon, Zhulan arrived in the capital, and when she entered the capital, Zhulan couldn't help but open the curtain of the car. After leaving the capital for a few years, the capital has changed quite a lot.
The current imperial government has relaxed its policy on merchants year by year, and some places that were more serious in the past no longer exist, and there are many more small merchants. Even in the cold winter, the streets are very lively.
Changzhong was awakened by the bustle outside the car, rubbing his eyes with his chubby little hands, "Mother, have you arrived in the capital?"
Zhulan took her son's hand, "Don't rub your eyes with your hands."
As he spoke, he wiped his son with a handkerchief.
Changzhong sat up and went to look at the car window, but Zhulan stopped him, and the child was sweating all over, "Don't rush to watch, mother will take you out to play in a few days."
Changzhong pouted his lips in displeasure, and soon became even more disappointed, "Mom, I miss my father a little bit."
Zhu Lan hugged her son, this kid also knew that he was going out, unlike being at home, Zhou Shuren was away during the day and would come back at night, "After a while, we will go home."
In the Jinzhou government office, Zhou Shuren didn't have much appetite for lunch, and he couldn't see his wife when he went home at night, and he couldn't see his fat son either.
Master Wang has a particularly good appetite, "My lord, eat, the dishes here are not bad."
Zhou Shuren put down his chopsticks, "I won't eat."
Mr. Wang heard some news, and he also knew about the letter from the capital yesterday, "Isn't Master Wang really sick on Wednesday?"
If not, Mr. Zhou is absent-minded this year, and he always thinks that being sick is an excuse.
Zhou Shuren's eyes didn't change. This is Changlian pretending to be ill in his heart. Fortunately, Zhulan went to the capital. "My lady has gone to the capital to see Changlian in the morning, and I should be in the capital now."
Master Wang was stunned, "I'm really sick, the exam is about to start now."
This is because the emperor changed the exam time and postponed the exam. Because of the snow disaster last year, the weather this year is extremely cold. Otherwise, according to the practice of previous years, it is time to take the exam now. However, even if it is changed, it will only be postponed. That's all in the last ten days.
Zhou Shuren sighed, "Even if he recovers from his illness, he still needs to take care of himself. I don't know if this kid can do it in this weather. There are three big exams. I think many people got sick when I took part in it!"
Mr. Wang's memory of Mr. Zhou's session is still fresh, who made the emperor do too many operations, "If you miss this year, you will miss the opportunity in three years."
Zhou Shuren drank his tea silently, his mind had already gone far away, and he didn't know if his son thought about him, he was so heartless, he said to accompany him last night, but he went to the Yamen, and his son ignored him!
Mr. Wang didn't say a word. Zhou Changlian missed it this time, and it would have an impact on the Zhou family. He understands Mr. Zhou's upset!
In the capital, Zhulan arrived at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, and Rong Chuan was already waiting at the gate, so he picked up Changzhong, "Third brother is resting in the yard, I'm here for auntie."
Zhulan's face is a bit haggard, her body has recovered a little bit, even if it is not bumpy, she is still a little tired, plus holding her son, and freezing her face again, she really looks anxious, "You waited a long time, this is the key Time, you can't be sick."
Rong Chuan has confidence in his body, "Auntie, I am in good health."
"Then be careful."
Rong Chuan felt warm in his heart. In fact, he and his third brother knew that their aunt was coming when they received the letter from Kuai Ma.
Chang Zhong wore a furry scarf, only his eyes leaked out, "Little future brother-in-law, the house in Beijing is so big.
"
Rong Chuan was almost choked by the wind and coughed several times, "Why are you called Brother Chuan?"
Chang Zhong chuckled, "No, my sister's husband is the second brother-in-law, so you are considered the younger brother-in-law, and you are the younger brother-in-law if you are not married."
Rong Chuan forgot to be shy and burst out laughing, "You have your own set of principles at your age."
Zhulan felt helpless towards her son, and she didn't know if she and Zhou Shuren had taught the child too well. Regardless of how small he was, he was very quick-spoken and very good at putting on the airs of the elders. The elder nephew and the younger niece shouted, Not at all embarrassed.
Changzhong shook his furry hat, "Father said I was the smartest, and he liked me the most."
Rong Chuan was silent. Uncle really liked Chang Zhong the most. He once thought that uncle was a strict father. After Chang Zhong could run and jump, hehe, no one will be more doting on uncle. Fortunately, he did not relax in education, otherwise , he was afraid that Zhou's mansion would turn out to be a dude.
After a few steps, Chang Lian and Mrs. Dong were waiting in front.
Changlian, "Mother, my son caused you to come to the capital, and my son is not filial."
Zhulan knew that Changlian's illness was a fake, and she was really worried, as long as Changlian was fine, "It happened for a reason, you can't stop it all on yourself."
Mrs. Dong stepped forward, "Mother, you've worked hard all the way."
"It's not hard, let's go, let's go back to the house and talk."
"Why."
The room in the main courtyard was very warm. Zhulan took off her heavy coat, but her body was still clumsy. "It's too much to move around."
Chang Lian felt even worse, the mother's body was not healthy, and she was very afraid of the cold, "Mother, it's all my son's bad idea."
"I think your idea is quite good, and you have avoided a lot of trouble. Well, don't think too much, show me what posts are there."
Chang Lian had already prepared, "It's all here."
Zhulan looked at them one by one, some were invitations from officials, these were for exams this year, and some were visits from students from other places. She kept Zhou Shuren's words in mind, "Rewrite the names of the people on these posts. , when I see Deng Xiucai next year, let him check it out."
If they don't cause trouble, Shen Yang's family will definitely not investigate, as long as they know about the rest, it's fine, at least they have a bottom line in their hearts.
Fortunately, there is no rich and powerful family in the post sent.
Changlian was busy, Zhulan asked, "Where's Yuyi?"
Dong smiled, "It's time for a nap."
Zhulan, "Yes, yes, look at my memory."
Mrs. Dong took the clothes Mrs. Song found out, "Mother, let me change your clothes for you."
Zhulan really didn't enjoy Mrs. Dong personally serving her to dress, and felt infinitely emotional, the ancient in-laws were the absolute heads of the family, "You don't have to be busy, I can do it myself."
Dong didn't insist either, she knew that her mother-in-law didn't like her daughter-in-law to serve her like other mother-in-laws, "Mother, then I'll let the girls prepare the meal."
Zhulan is really hungry, "Okay."
After Zhulan changed her clothes, she didn't see Chang Zhong coming back, she said with a dark face, "This boy must be crazy about novelty, this child, Mrs. Song, I will invite a doctor later."
She thought her son must have caught a cold!
