Chapter 914: Huizhi Lanxin
In the front yard, the emperor stayed for dinner. The seasonal greens are still difficult to eat. The emperor looked at the plates of green leafy vegetables on the table.
Zhou Shuren also noticed the green vegetables, the eldest granddaughter and the second granddaughter filially respected him and Zhulan's green vegetables were all gone, "Eat more if the emperor likes it."
The emperor naturally likes it, although the south will bring green vegetables, but there are very few green leafy vegetables, and those delivered to the palace can be stored, "Where do the green vegetables in Aiqing's mansion come from?"
Zhou Shuren was a little proud, "The eldest granddaughter and second granddaughter of the minister like to grow flowers. There are few green vegetables this winter, so the two girls planted some green vegetables in wooden boxes. If there are not many, let us old couple try something new."
The emperor originally wanted to say so much, but he took them away for a while. After hearing this, Zhou Shuren lost his meaning, and felt a pity, "Your two granddaughters are Hui Zhilan Xin."
Zhou Shuren felt that this meal of greens was worth it, the emperor's praise, and when the two granddaughters get married in the future, they will have the reputation of being beautiful and beautiful, and the husband's family will not dare to bully them, so he was happy, "I thank the emperor for the praise on behalf of the granddaughters."
The emperor has no daughters, and the granddaughters are too young to enjoy the filial piety of female dolls. The two granddaughters of the Zhou family are already well-clothed ladies, but they can still grow vegetables by hand, just for the grandparents to eat something fresh and more appetizing. The emperor is envious, this is filial piety and true love, which is stronger than giving any precious material.
The crown prince has been paying attention to his father, and seeing his touch, his heart is moved. His father is old, and people are inevitably sensitive when they are old. The prince looked at the vegetables on the table, moved his chopsticks, and his smile deepened.
Zhulan brought her elder grandson and younger son to dinner, and only Zhou Shuren was with her in the front yard.
Zhulan cared about the eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson couldn't say anything. The prince chatted with the eldest grandson for a while, asked about the academy, took a test of knowledge, and finally let the eldest grandson leave.
Chang Zhong had nothing to fear, he forgot about it when he turned his head, and when Zhou Shuren came back, Chang Zhong had already eaten and drank enough to take a bath.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back and signaled the maids to go down, and handed the handkerchief in person, "The emperor stayed for almost two hours."
Two hours is four hours!
Zhou Shuren wiped his face, "In recent days, you should not go to the invitation post."
Zhulan took the handkerchief, "If you don't tell me, I don't plan to go either. Tomorrow our house will be on the cusp of the storm."
She felt that the emperor was a bit dishonest, and the emperor obviously came to Zhou's house on purpose.
Zhou Shuren didn't change his official uniform. He went back to the house to change his official uniform, and took off his thick cotton padded jacket. He felt relaxed, "This is also a kind of trust from the emperor. If I change to other officials, I will be at ease. It's my indifference." , the emperor is relieved."
Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart, pitted Zhou Shuren at ease, and used Zhou Shuren without any burden.
Zhou Shuren said that the emperor praised Yushuang and Yulu, and Zhulan was happy. The reputation of an ancient woman is too important. With the emperor's praise, whoever dares to refute it will hit the emperor in the face.
In the Prince's Mansion, when the Prince came back, he asked people to find the people who grow vegetables. He wanted to grow vegetables himself. Who would let the emperor do this? Now it's not right for him to do more or less. It's better to devote all his attention to filial piety.
The princess didn't come back to her senses for a long time, "His Royal Highness wants to grow vegetables?"
The prince took the princess's hand, "Yes, not only grow vegetables alone, but you grow together with the orphan."
The princess is not afraid of being laughed at by her siblings, the prince must have a reason for doing so, "Okay."
The next day, during the early court, Zhou Shuren felt too many probing eyes. The emperor stayed in the Zhou residence for two hours, and no one would believe that the emperor didn't say anything, especially when he was with the prince.
But in fact, the emperor really didn't say anything, and the most talked about was children's education.
Zhou Shuren shut his mouth tightly,
He didn't know how to explain, he was very experienced in cooperating with the emperor, Zhou Shuren pretended not to hear when he went to inquire about the news, or just laughed and said nothing.
Li Zhao's stomach hurt from watching, and he walked around Zhou Shuren's neck. Li Zhao's movements blocked some officials very well. After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren looked at Li Zhao who was sitting in the household carriage.
Zhou Shuren took a deep breath, "If I remember correctly, my lord is very busy."
Now the Ministry of War is busy with the affairs of the navy, the Minister of the Ministry of War should not be so idle.
Li Zhao leaned against the carriage window, "It is indeed busy, but there is no rush."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, so why not just ask, "What do you want to ask, my lord?"
Li Zhao lowered his voice and leaned forward, "The emperor has no intention of establishing the king of Jin."
Affirmative sentence, without any hesitation.
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Why didn't the lower officials understand what your lord said."
Li Zhao was cheerful, "Your reaction tells me that you think so too, Zhou Shuren, have you noticed that when you agree with something, you will refute it cleanly."
The more agile you are, the more you agree with it.
Li Zhao studied Zhou Shuren for the simple reason that he would deal with Zhou Shuren in the future.
Zhou Shuren didn't like Li Zhao, not because he didn't appreciate it, but because he didn't like anyone who studied him and tried to see through him. Li Zhao was a difficult person, and Mr. Xiao hated Li Zhao very much.
Li Zhao doesn't know what the emperor said to Zhou Shuren, but he knows that Zhou Shuren must know something. He has already verified what he wants to know. The absence of King Jin means that the prince's position is stable. If the emperor did not bring the prince to the Zhou residence , he would not look for Zhou Shuren either.
God knows how unwilling he is to have the title King Jin. King Jin is a signal that the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince. The prince was not stupid enough to win him over directly.
But this also made him irritated. Having King Jin meant that he couldn't deal with the people who were interested in him. Without King Jin, he could let go of cleaning up and hum happily.
Zhou Shuren closed his eyes and reflected on himself. He was still immature in the face of these top bosses, and he still had a lot to learn, and his disguise skills were still not full.
When they arrived at the household department, Zhou Shuren curled his mouth and grabbed Li Zhao who was about to leave, "Since your lord has arrived at the household department, why don't you come in and have a sit down?"
Li Zhao became vigilant, he didn't want to go in and sit down, he wanted to get off halfway, but Zhou Shuren stopped him, so he had to sit all the way, and now he has to go to the household department, he only has one thought in his mind now Zhou Shuren is sinister, " The Ministry of War has something important to do."
Zhou Shuren, "Your Excellency just said that you are not in a hurry. By the way, your Excellency must not know that Xiao Shangshu has already handed over the form of applying for money to the subordinate officials."
The corners of Li Zhao's mouth are stiff. The man who is in charge of money is the uncle. Zhou Shuren, who is getting more and more powerful, cannot be offended. The Ministry of War is the department that swallows money. He knows that Zhou Shuren uses him to share his attention, but for the sake of money, he still said, "I am suddenly not in a hurry. Since Mr. Zhou, please, then I will go in and sit down."
Zhou Shuren stretched out his hand, "My lord, please come inside."
