Chapter 824: Chess Pieces

Zhuangzi and Zhou Shuren were eating in the garden, and Zhulan sent away the girl and servant, and now there are only the couple.

Zhulan said: "Who do you think wrote the rumors about the true and false princes?"

Zhou Shuren said without thinking, "Yao Wenqi."

Zhulan said: "I think so too."

Zhou Shuren picked a leaf and played with it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Shen Yang, the thunder exploded and ruined the emperor's plan. Although I don't know much, I have been listening to the prince. The progress in the Jianghuai area is good. "

Zhulan continued: "Moreover, Zhang Jinghong's knowledge has become an important chess piece in the emperor's hands. Now that the rumors come out, Zhang Jinghong's chess piece is equivalent to useless."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that Zhang Jinghong must have done something to make Yao Wenqi feel the crisis and automatically detonate Shen Yang's thunder."

Zhulan also laughed, "This shows that Yao Wenqi's partner has his own mind, internal disagreement, and will collapse sooner or later."

Zhou Shuren replied: "However, the emperor must be in a bad mood right now. It seems that he is about to feel the pulse, and there is a sudden disturbance. It is conceivable that the emperor is in a bad mood."

"I found out that your luck is really good, you just hid out while recuperating."

One must know that Zhou's family and Ningguo's mansion have relatives by marriage, so there must be someone to inquire about the news, and now that they have hid, they will avoid trouble.

Zhou Shuren threw away the leaves in his hand, "I have a little bit of luck, most of them are calculated by me, and I can control the timing well."

He thought that Yao Wenqi would make moves when the Ministry of Justice was cleared, but he ignored the Jianghuai area. He didn't expect Yao Wenqi to take Shen Yang's move and it would explode automatically, which was very different from the emperor's initiative. It's harder to walk.

In the Zhou family, Chang Lian got out of the carriage and asked Steward Wang, "Can Zhuang Zi deliver a letter?"

Steward Wang took out the letter in his arms, "Master's reply letter has been kept forever."

Chang Lian took the letter and read it as he walked, seeing that the last trace of uneasiness in his confidence was gone, his father told him to let him stay at the Imperial Academy at ease, not to worry about anything, just live a good life for himself.

A smile appeared on Chang Lian's face, and he asked Steward Wang beside him, "Did Ming Yun and the others come back on time?"

Butler Wang returned,

"The young masters came back after school and didn't go anywhere."

Chang Lian said: "These days, you pick them up from school in person, yes, especially Ming Teng, you must pay close attention."

The capital is not peaceful recently, and his father is not at home. He wants to take care of the grandchildren at home. When he thinks of Ming Teng, his head hurts, this kid is the most restless.

Steward Wang said: "The younger one will pick it up personally."

Chang Lian went back to the yard, saw his daughter playing in the yard, hugged her up, "Do you miss Daddy?"

Yuyi wrapped her arms around her father's neck, and said in a childish voice, "I think, Daddy will play with you."

Dong Shi heard the voice and came out, "Yu Yi, come down quickly, Daddy just came back and needs to change clothes."

Chang Lian kissed his daughter, put it down carefully, and asked his wife softly, "Did the child in your belly trouble you today?"

Ever since Dong knew she was pregnant, her appetite hadn't been great. "Today I've been very obedient, and I ate two bowls of porridge for lunch."

Changlian supported his wife's hand, "That's good, you need to rest more in the last few days, so don't go to the posts in the next few days."

Dong Chuchu asked, "But what happened?"

Chang Lian was afraid that his wife would be worried, so he wrote to his father to avoid his wife, and said: "Today there are rumors that Shen Yang is the real fifth prince, and my father wrote back and said, guard the house."

Dong Chuchu raised it up all of a sudden, "You have offended Shen Yang a lot, and even threatened Shen Yang. If he is really the fifth prince, what should we do?"

Chang Lian laughed out loud, "Even if he is real, what can he do with me? Don't forget, our father is still here, and our family has in-laws with the Ning Mansion, so we are not afraid of him. Besides, this is true or not. not sure."

Dong Chuchu felt relieved after hearing this, "Then I can rest assured."

Zhuangzi, Mrs. Li returned the borrowed money to the four siblings after calculating the interest, "Sister-in-law thank you, sister-in-law, without the money lent to sister-in-law by younger siblings, sister-in-law would not earn so much."

Su Xuan looked at the interest rate and thought to herself that there is a reason why her mother-in-law likes sister-in-law. The sister-in-law means what she says, and the interest is not bad. "Sister-in-law will not hesitate to use money in the future. I have no shortage of money here."

Li was envious in her heart, if she had the same background as her four younger siblings, she wouldn't have to pick up money to save her daughter's dowry, but she just thought about it, "The younger siblings rest first, and the sister-in-law returns first."

Su Xuan stood up, "Sister-in-law, I'll see you off."

"No, stay fast."

Mrs. Li came out of the four-bedroom courtyard, with no debts, and could walk straight on her back. She was thinking about the dowry her mother-in-law bought for herself. She wanted to sell the dowry and buy land near the capital, so it would be convenient for her to take care of her in the future. , so as not to trouble uncle.

Mrs. Li walked quickly, and now she has money in her hand, which is going to buy shops and fields.

In the main courtyard, Zhulan has already gone to soak in the hot springs. Zhuangzi used to belong to the prince. The hot spring pool is elegantly repaired. Hearing the sound of water, seeing Zhou Shuren sitting in, "I almost forgot the feeling of soaking in hot springs."

In modern times, she often went there. It was nearly ten years in ancient times, and she was able to do so today.

Zhou Shuren heaved a sigh of relief, he was indeed comfortable, this is the way to enjoy life, "We will come and stay for a while in winter."

Zhulan, "Don't talk too much."

Zhou Shuren choked, this time it was a good time to rest and recuperate, winter is indeed difficult, and the household department in winter is the busiest time, if he dares to recuperate, Master Xiao will fight him desperately.

Zhulan smiled, "However, you can't come, I can bring my son here, enjoy the beautiful scenery in winter, soak in hot springs, and enjoy the fairy days."

Zhou Shuren was envious when he heard it, and leaned over, "Are you willing to leave me alone in the capital?"

Zhulan blinked her eyes, "I heard Mrs. Gao say that in winter, household officials often visit the household department. It's not that I abandoned you, but that you are not at home often."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Zhulan rubbed Zhou Shuren's shoulders, "I just asked the steward that Zhuangzi's radishes and cabbages have been put away in the cellar, and we will take a cart back when we go back."

"The green vegetables in winter are really single."

Zhulan, "We have Zhuangzi in the south, and we can still eat green vegetables in winter, which is already very good."

Last year, vegetables were transported from the south every half a month. Although a lot of vegetables were rotten, one transport was enough to last for a while. Pass.

With seafood, etc., the Zhou family's winter meals are very rich.

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "It would be great if the Ministry of Industry could be more powerful, and if glass could be popularized. It would be great to build a glass house, grow flowers, and grow vegetables."

Zhulan, "...you really dare to think about returning the glass house."

Zhou Shuren, "What I'm talking about is that after the popularization of glass, forget about the current price. If it wasn't for the emperor's attention, our family would have to queue for a long time to buy a few pieces of glass."

Zhulan patted her husband on the shoulder, "So the money from the Ministry of Industry, you should support me a lot!"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Rubbing your shoulders feels comfortable just now, let me rub it for you."

Zhulan, "OK."
