Chapter 771 Suspicion
Chapter 771 Suspicion
Zhou Shuren is really happy to mention his youngest son more, this is to give his son a sense of presence, whether it is the emperor or the prince, being able to remember his son's name is always good for his son's future.
The emperor had a good impression of the child he named, and loyalty represented the loyalty of the Zhou family, otherwise he would not have given the jade pendant. He smiled and said, "Your son is not like your body, I look very strong."
Zhou Shuren's tone was a little smug: "That's because the son of the minister raised him well. This child was born, and the minister raised him very carefully."
He is really knowledgeable. Being a father for the first time, he has done everything by himself and has experience in raising children.
The emperor was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Shuren would like children so much. Zhou Shuren was concerned about political affairs, and he didn't pay much attention to other personal matters. The only thing that impressed him deeply was that Zhou Shuren and his wife had a very good relationship.
Ning Xu didn't want to ask anymore, and the more he listened to Zhou Shuren, the more he showed off his son, "Your Majesty, the dishes are ready and ready to be served."
The emperor is also a little hungry, "Okay."
The prince is used to touching the jade pendant, just as he was about to raise his hand to take the jade pendant, his father gave it away. Zhou Shuren didn't need to mention his son this time, he also remembered it.
Zhoujia Village, the patriarch’s house, the patriarch Zhou is sitting on a rocking chair in the yard listening to his eldest son. He knows why Zhou Changli and Changzhi came back, but he thinks of Zhou Changzhi in his heart. , this kid hasn't come back.
While talking, Changli and Changzhi entered the yard, Changli smiled and said, "How is the patriarch?"
Patriarch Zhou hurriedly sat up, "Okay, I'm fine, come and sit down."
Changzhi saluted, "Hello, patriarch."
Patriarch Zhou looked at Changzhi. He had a vague impression of Changzhi. In Zhoujia Village, he only knew that this kid was good at studying and that he didn’t play with the dolls in the village. Looking at it, this kid looks good. He has been an official son for many years, and he has developed an aura. "Okay, okay, I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't dare to recognize him."
Changzhi said: "I've already married and had a son, and I've matured a lot. You haven't changed at all all these years."
Patriarch Zhou smiled, "I'm old, and I used to work hard to study ethnology, but now I don't want to move around."
At this time, the tea was served, and Patriarch Zhou signaled to drink it, "This is newly bought tea, it's not as good as your family's, and you can also drink it.
"
Changli, "Look at what the patriarch said, we don't pay attention to these things. In my eyes, all we can drink is good tea."
Changzhi looked sideways at his elder brother, the former elder brother could not speak in such a tactful way, he was really hardened outside, thinking about going back, and going out with his elder brother and second brother more often.
Patriarch Zhou said cheerfully, "Speaking of which, my old man hasn't seen your father for many years. Is everything okay when he comes to Beijing?"
Changzhi replied, "When we left, my father hadn't taken office yet. After all, the Zhou family's foundation in the capital is weak, and they will slowly accumulate in the future."
Chang Li continued: "My father is in good health, everything in the house is fine, you don't have to worry about my father, my father knows it well."
Patriarch Zhou is really not worried about Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren's ability to reach his current position proves that Zhou Shuren is a man of great ability. He just wants to know more. Zhou Shuren is good, so is the Zhou family. The Zhou family still needs Zhou Shuren support.
Then Patriarch Zhou said: "Let's go to the ethnology to have a look. The current ethnology has changed a lot. In recent years, some talented children in the clan are studying in the ethnology. You should also take a look."
The two brothers looked at each other, knowing clearly that the patriarch hoped that they would recognize the person, and they said together: "Okay."
In the capital city, Zhulan took her son back home, took her son back to the house, and untied the jade pendant around his waist, "I will keep this piece of jade pendant for you, and I will give it to you when you grow up."
Changzhong put his fat hand on the jade pendant, "No, no, Dad also said to keep it for me, and Dad won't give it to me if I want it."
Zhulan paused, "What did your father keep for you?"
Chang Zhong pouted, "Daddy will keep the money in the purse for me."
Zhulan squinted her eyes, she really didn't know about this, when she came back to her senses, the little guy ran away quickly, Zhulan was stunned, "This kid is very good at diverting attention."
Mrs. Song's eyes are full of smiles, the young master is really smart, "The young master is very precious to the jade pendant, so he will not break it."
She knew the young master well, and the more she liked things, she would only keep them away and not show them off everywhere.
Zhulan was really afraid that the jade pendant would break, "Go and see, it's fine if he puts it away, and if he doesn't take it back, let me know."
"yes."
The deputy butler, butler Wang came in, "Mistress, this is a post just sent."
"Okay, put it here."
Butler Wang is the steward of the capital's mansion. After the Zhou family entered Beijing, Butler Wang became the deputy butler, in charge of the front yard.
Zhulan picked up the post, the post from the Yaohou Mansion, this time it was from Mrs. Hou's Mansion, the parents and sons of the Bai family are so stupid, why are they still in the mood to hold a banquet?
Zhulan fell into deep thought, heard footsteps, saw Mrs. Song coming back, Mrs. Song replied, "Young master put away the jade pendant."
"That's good, this is a post from the Yaohou Mansion."
Mrs. Song, "Are you going?"
Zhulan thought for a while, "Go."
Mrs. Song knew in her heart that the mistress would only go by herself, so she didn't need to mention it.
In the afternoon, during her lunch break, Zhulan felt the heat source around her. When she opened her eyes, Zhou Shuren was lying beside her. She really didn't feel this man coming back.
Zhulan stood up cautiously, and Zhou Shuren opened his eyes, "You haven't slept yet."
Zhou Shuren, "I just came back not long ago, I closed my eyes and rested my mind."
Zhulan took the pillow and sat leaning back, "Didn't you go to drink tea, why did you meet the emperor?"
Zhou Shuren couldn't say a word, "I did go to drink tea. I wanted to come back earlier and met the emperor. The emperor has an appointment with Lord Ning, so I just happened by."
Zhulan said: "The emperor really trusts you, the prince is next to the emperor, I remember the prince is grounded."
"Yes, you really trust me. Rong Chuan added points, and my speed of advance and retreat also added points."
Zhulan chuckled, "This time is also a test, to test whether you will talk too much."
Zhou Shuren said quietly: "So the emperor and the prince left, and I went back to the mansion without going anywhere."
Zhulan whispered: "The emperor's heart is always suspicious."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "Aren't you going to lie down for a while?"
"No, I slept for a while, I got a headache from too much sleep, yes, the Yaohou Mansion sent a post, I'm going to take a look."
Zhou Shuren, "It's good to go and have a look."
Zhulan stretched out her hand, "I heard from my son today that you kept things for him?"
Zhou Shuren twitched the corner of his mouth, "This kid sold me?"
"Yes, the sale is very clean."
Zhulan told about the jade pendant,
Zhou Shuren, "..."
This kid is still angry with him, and his son is really smart, knowing that if he sells him, the silver will be gone, but he is not old but knows that jade pendants are more expensive than silver.
In the palace, the emperor returned to the palace, and Eunuch Liu was already guarding, "Your Majesty, the news just came that the Fifth Prince didn't see anyone, and got another letter."
The emperor looked at the letter on the table, which was transcribed, picked up the letter and glanced at it quickly, "This is a temptation, don't worry, let people keep an eye on it."
