Chapter 759: Stupid

The next day, Mrs. Zhong's wife, Mrs. Gao, visited the Zhou Mansion. Zhulan was quite surprised. She attended the banquet at the Zhong Mansion, but there were too many people present. Even though Mrs. Gao took care of her, they didn't chat much. However, Mrs. Gao introduced many officials and family members.

I really didn't expect that Mrs. Gao would come to the door.

Zhulan went out to greet her, Gao's age was about the same as Zhulan, Zhulan said: "I thought I heard it wrong, I checked it carefully before I believed it was you, hurry up, please come inside."

While walking, Gao said: "I can't wait for you, so I can only come here in person. I walked all the way just now. This house is worthy of a reward, it is magnificent."

Zhulan felt that Gao's tone was much warmer than last time. This was the effect brought by Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren gained a firm foothold in the household department, and he added a separate reward yesterday. The scenery is also one of the best in the capital, the last time I went there, I kept thinking about renovating the garden in the mansion!"

Mrs. Gao sighed in her heart. After two contacts, this Mrs. Yang really doesn’t look like she came from a farm. Then she thought, Mr. Zhou can make the master want to make friends. Preferably in the spring."

"At that time, I will come to ask for advice and experience. I have visited a lot, so please don't dislike me."

Gao smiled, "I wish you would come more often, as long as you ask, I will not hide my secrets."

Zhulan, "That's a deal."

"That's a deal."

At this time, Butler Ding came in with a lot of posts in his hand, butler Ding said: "Mother, this is the post I just received."

Zhulan signaled Mrs. Song to go on, glanced at it, there were really many.

Gao thought to herself, the Zhou family had completely gained a firm foothold in the capital. The household department was short of money, and the master was transferred from the household department. The master knew best. The household department's actions these days, the master admired Zhou Shuren very much. Husband and wife are one, the master wants to make friends with Mr. Zhou, so she naturally wants to make friends with Mrs. Yang.

Speaking of which, when she invited Yang Shi back then, she only expressed her gratitude for Yang Shi's care. Because of Zhou Shuren, the master left the household department and entered the official department.

It's a good thing that Mrs. Yang was invited back then, otherwise it would be abrupt to visit today.

In Ningguo Mansion, Ning Zhixiang frowned, "Don't turn around in front of my eyes."

He was very upset when he turned around, his chest was a little stuffy at first, but now it is even more uncomfortable.

Mrs. Yu twisted her eyebrows, "I'm anxious, Mother doesn't know what's wrong recently, she hasn't asked me to accompany her for a long time, and my sister-in-law is here to accompany her these days, what I mentioned to Mother, Mother is clearly tempted, no Knowing what went wrong, he even scolded me."

Ning Zhixiang lowered his eyes, "Don't mention the matter of adoption again."

Mrs. Yu is not reconciled, "Third Uncle's family background is no worse than the Duke's, and Third Uncle also has a Marquis."

"Enough is enough, don't mention it in the future."

Why did mother say Yu's? It must be what father meant. Only when father spoke, mother would change so much. What father meant was what grandpa meant.

He could see clearly that compared with his third uncle, his father was the one who listened to his grandfather the most.

Yu twisted the veil, the wealth and honor in front of her eyes could only be seen but not touched, she was still not reconciled.

Ning Zhixiang closed his eyes and didn't look at his wife. The lady was not reconciled, and he was even more unwilling, but he thought more about it. The third uncle's actions a while ago did not shy away from others, and he really valued the third son of the Zhou family and Zhang Rongchuan .

He cared more about Zhang Rongchuan, but he couldn't figure it out all the time, and he didn't dare to let people stare at the third uncle. The third uncle is not a good person to get along with, so he can't think about it anymore, the more he thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes.

In the Household Department, Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan stood outside the door of Master Shangshu. They didn't want to go in. The door was not closed. The six ministers were all here, and even the minister from the Ministry of Industry came.

The bosses in the room are fighting each other,

The firepower was very fierce. He was cheated to donate money, but the household department got a reward yesterday, and the anger became even stronger.

The corners of Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched. He was very old, and quarreled like children. Every time the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites strayed from the topic of the quarrel, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials would pull him back. It's wonderful.

Qiu Yan got used to it, and whispered: "Let's go back, this won't end every half hour."

Zhou Shuren listened to Mr. Xiao's angry voice, one against five, without losing the wind at all, "Okay."

However, when Zhou Shuren thought that quarreling would be his daily routine in the future, his blood pressure rose a bit!

An hour later, Lord Xiao called Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan over.

Sitting on the edge of the ice basin, Master Xiao was sweating from the quarrel, and was extremely hot, "You two are here, except for the Ministry of War, tell me which department you should give money to."

He will give it all.

Qiu Yan was familiar with the reasons for asking for money, "The lower officials feel that it should be given to the Ministry of Rites. Sacrifice is a major event, and the equipment of the Ministry of Rites should indeed be replaced."

Zhou Shuren thought for a while and said, "I think it's the Ministry of Industry. I checked the money that the Ministry of Industry applied for in the past two years is the least. The Ministry of Industry really needs the money."

In fact, if you want to develop rapidly, the Ministry of Industry is really important, but it is a pity that the Ministry of Industry was at the bottom of the six ancient departments, and it was really not taken seriously.

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, "I thought you could also talk about the Ministry of Rites!"

When the army returned to the imperial court, the day for offering sacrifices had already been selected, so the Ministry of Rites was very tough in asking for money, and the person who had the most quarrel with him today was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Xiao Qing, "The lower officials have also looked at the money that the Ministry of Rites has disbursed in the past two years. The Ministry of Rites should still have money."

Xiao Qing thought for a while, and took out the Ministry of Industry's booklet. The amount of money in the Ministry of Industry's booklet was not large. Frowning, he agreed, "I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

After dinner at night, Zhulan said: "Let me tell you, the second son of Yaohou's mansion woke up, but he was stupid."

Zhou Shuren was stunned for a moment, "Who did you listen to?"

Zhulan, "I heard what Mrs. Dong said. Mrs. Dong went to the banquet and told me when she came back. Do you think you are really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
