   Chapter 1485 The twist

Zhulan got off the carriage. The person she saw just now was gone. She was unwilling to search everywhere and found nothing.

Qingxue was puzzled when she saw the disappointed look of the old lady, "Old lady, who did you see just now?"

Zhulan waved, "I seem to have seen Jiang An just now, maybe I'm wrong."

Qingxue, "Young Master Jiang An?"

"Well, let's go."

After saying that, he went back to the carriage again, his spirits were down, this time he didn't look out the window, he closed his cloak and closed his eyes.

The carriage drove away, and Jiang An, who was hiding in the alley, came out. Jiang An's clothes were foreign clothes. Just now, the horse carriage of Hou's house passed by.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help touching his face. He had grown a beard, and grandma could still recognize him. Sure enough, grandma loved him the most, and then left calmly.

Ministry of households, Zhou Shuren heard his daughter-in-law coming to him, hurried out, got on his own carriage, and saw his daughter-in-law sighed, "It didn't work?"

Zhulan told the story of the palace, "It should be possible, but the person in charge may not be me."

Zhou Shuren also felt suspended after hearing this, "It's okay, this time is gone, there will be another time."

Zhulan, "That's the only way, it's getting late, let's go to lunch?"

"good."

After ordering food at the restaurant, Zhulan mentioned that she seemed to have seen her grandson Jiang An, Zhou Shuren raised her eyebrows, "I haven't received any news."

"Maybe I read it wrong."

Zhou Shuren didn't think his daughter-in-law would read it wrong, "Did you see a big change in Jiang An?"

Zhulan recalled carefully, "I only paid attention to my face and nothing else. I have a beard on my face. I don't think about it anymore. I guess I recognized the wrong person. You also know that I am old and my eyes are not as good as they used to be."

Zhou Shuren kept it in his heart. If it was Jiang An, there would be no news when he came back, so it shouldn't be easy.

After the couple had lunch, Zhulan went home.

Zhou Shuren returned to the Ministry of Housing and saw the King of Chu, "When did the King of Chu come?"

The King of Chu looked at Zhou Shuren, "This king has just arrived, is there something going on at Lord Hou's house?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "Nothing, is there anything the lord has come to the household department?"

King of Chu, "This king has just received the emperor's decree to get this king ready to pick up the child, so I specially invited Hou Ye to the Royal Orphanage to see it, but I missed something."

Zhou Shuren kept thinking about it, got up and said, "Okay."

The royal orphanage occupies a large area. In order to accommodate the children, it occupied the houses of the common people. The court did not occupy the houses for the common people in vain, and even gave them money as compensation.

The houses have been converted into Datong shops, with a large Kang built in the house, and a house can accommodate more than 20 children.

The quilts and clothes are ready. The clothes are half-old. Since the old clothes can be used, I did not buy new clothes in order to save money.

Zhou Shuren looked at it carefully, and finally went to the granary where the grain was stored. There was not much fine grain, but it was all old grain, and the rest was coarse grain.

King of Chu said: "This batch of food was donated by this king."

Zhou Shuren replied, "Your Highness is great."

He didn't care that the grain was stale grain. Now that there is a shortage of grain, it is already good to have something to eat. Not to mention nutrition, meat has become a scarce commodity on the market.

The next day, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court. The last few days, Master Yu did not go to the morning court. I saw you today, "Master Yu."

Yu is not very popular, "Marquis of Zhou."

Zhou Shuren knew that Lord Yu had a headache these few days, "Is the headache better?"

Lord Yu nodded, "It's ready, Xie Guan Xie Hou Ye cares."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and motioned to the lord to slow down, "Could the lord consider betrothing your second son?"

Lord Yu looked at the smile in Zhou Houhou's eyes, and there was something he didn't understand. He and his eldest son were eager to marry Zhou Hou.

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the Liu family is still good, "Then we should have a good look at each other."

Lord Yu's face turned a lot ruddy, and his excitement turned bloody. He really didn't expect that his second son would fall into the eyes of Zhou Hou.

Wang Chi was waiting in front, Zhou Shuren nodded to the adults and took the first step.

Mr. Yu was excited, he clenched his fists to suppress the excitement in his heart, thinking about who to invite to the Zhou Mansion to propose marriage, turned around, the blood on his face went down, hey, the Yu family has no reliable friends in the capital.

Wang Chi glanced back at Master Yu, and whispered, "What did you tell him? Is he so excited?"

Zhou Shuren, "I think his second son is not bad."

Wang Chi was surprised, "I thought you would appoint the eldest son for the fourth girl."

The four girls of the Zhou family have a good reputation in the capital. In addition to Zhou Laosan’s bright career, the fourth girls promise to give the sons of the aristocratic family and become a patriarch.

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "Too tired."

Wang Chi was stunned and then fell silent. He was really tired. Many things could not help himself, and the responsibility was too heavy. "I have never seen anyone who loves my granddaughter more than you."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "I am the best grandpa."

Zhoufu, Zhulan and other female officials left, but she didn't regain her senses. After waiting for a while, Zhulan frowned and said, "Leave it to me, really leave it to me."

not only handed it over to her, but also made a decree. Although it was not the original plan to take it slowly, she was not afraid.

Qingxue followed with a smile and said, "Yes, the queen mother will be in charge of you."

Zhulan walked back and forth in the house excitedly. After calming down, she picked up the list given to the Queen Mother, which was donated by the Queen Mother.

There are 100 stone of grain, cotton cloth, etc. on the list, which is very complete.

Zhulan sighed in her heart that the people who suffer will always be the common people, and it has no effect on the powerful. She motioned Qingxue to prepare a pen and paper. Since she is in charge, the Zhouhou Mansion will also donate it.

The Queen Mother took the lead. Even if the family didn’t want to, they would donate materials. These things are the starting materials.

The Queen Mother's will soon spread throughout the capital, and the list of donations was also made public. The Queen Mother wanted to set up a private orphanage. The person in charge was Mrs. Zhouhou, and the ladies in the capital were stunned.

The Zhou family's in-laws, Tao Shi came the fastest, showing his control over the news in the capital. Tao asked in disbelief, "Is it true? The Queen Mother runs a folk orphanage and makes you responsible?"

Zhulan smiled, "Yes, the Queen Mother's will I am in charge of the construction of the folk orphanage."

Tao Shi's pupils clenched, even if it was a private orphanage, it shouldn't be handed over to Zhulan, and calmed down for a while, "You, how did you do it?"

The royal orphanage takes in the orphans of soldiers and soldiers, and the king of Chu is in charge. The private orphanage should also be in charge of a man, and it is the first time that it is handed over to a woman.

Zhulan knew that this incident would shock many people, she was not afraid, she also had the confidence, the Queen Mother ordered someone to assist her, "I didn't do anything, the Queen Mother valued my ability."

When this is done, it will not only save the child, but also improve the status of the woman. Thinking about it, she will be happy.

Tao Shi was still dizzy. She knew that Yang Shi was very powerful, but she didn’t expect that she would be so powerful that she could run errands. The private orphanage was not run by the capital itself.

Zhulan smiled, "Don't be in a daze, look at the materials donated by the Queen Mother, and the materials donated by our Zhouhou Mansion."

Tao looked at the two lists, yes, the Queen Mother took the lead in donating, and the Wang family also donated, this time the whole family will donate, "Let me see."
