Chapter 1541： to Beijing

Zhou Shuren didn't think that the Ministry of Rites was for money. The embassy would change the supplies and furnishings in it every year, and would receive a sum of money from the merchants every year.

The Minister of Rites signaled to invite him first, and said as he walked, "The youngest son of Zhou Hou hasn't gotten married yet."

Zhou Shuren paused, "Mm."

The Minister of Rites smiled, "My sister's youngest daughter, Yongzhi, was born in the 17th year and is one year younger than Zhou Hou Gongzi. How does Zhou Hou feel?"

Zhou Shuren didn't think so. How should I put it? He didn't like the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Rites was somewhat politically speculative. Of course, there was never a shortage of such people in the court, but his son's marriage would definitely not be related to the Minister of Rites. small."

People like the Minister of Rites are the best at listening to overtones. Even if they are rejected, they will not be angry. They still have a smile on their faces, "That's a pity."

Zhou Shuren was not afraid that the Minister of Rites would wear small shoes to Changyi. As long as he had power in his hands, as long as he was the Marquis of Zhou, the Minister of Rites would only take care of Changyi.

Afterwards, the Minister of Rites talked about some recent events until they got into the carriage and left.

Zhou Shuren sighed with emotion that the youngest son has also reached the age to say kissing. The youngest son has been away from Beijing for more than a year, and no one cares about him. Now that he has returned to Beijing, it is normal to be cared about.

In ancient times, it was easier for a man to marry a wife than for a woman to have a family. Zhou Shuren was really in no hurry.

Zhou Fu, Zhulan looked at the letter sent by her eldest brother, pursed her lips, and was not in a good mood. The eldest brother was not too young, and this fall broke his leg.

Zhulan sighed. The letter said it was fine, but she didn't believe it. With age, the metabolism has slowed down, and the eldest brother must have suffered a serious crime this time.

Zhao shi comforted, "Mother, with the doctor watching, uncle will be fine."

Zhulan was a little sad, "I'm still getting old, I'm getting old, I'm getting old."

Zhao Shi, "Mother, don't say that, you are still young in the eyes of your daughter-in-law."

There was a slight smile on Zhulan's face, "You can talk, your brother sent you a letter, but he wants to come to the capital?"

Zhao nodded, "He has become a scholar, and he is not in a hurry to participate in the imperial examination. He and I have not seen each other for many years. The letter said that he plans to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year with me, and will go on a study tour after the spring."

Zhulan counted, "It's true that you siblings haven't seen each other for many years."

It was her idea to let the child stay in Lizhou.

Zhao's grudges toward his younger brother followed, and with the passage of time, he was no longer uncomfortable. Instead, he hoped that his younger brother would come to the capital. The husband had helped his younger brother for many years, so it was time to help her.

Zhulan and the second daughter-in-law talked for a while, and then went to the warehouse to choose the tonic for the eldest brother and the second brother. It is still difficult to buy good medicinal materials in Lizhou.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren did not mention the marriage mentioned by the Minister of Rites, but instead said, "The king of Liang is ruthless to toss himself, after all, the emperor is his father, and he is old. the palace."

Zhulan, "Is King Liang miserable?"

"How should I put it, King Liang gave me the feeling of chronic suicide. I can see it, as well as the emperor and the emperor. King Liang's soft knife cut the heart of the emperor!"

Zhu Lan said, "King Liang is also afraid of the short life of the queen, and the prince is the son of the queen. King Liang can't be a demon, he can only toss himself."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Many people can see the situation of King Liang clearly. There is an inextricable knot between King Liang and the prince. I think some people want to take advantage of it, but it's a pity that King Liang wants to keep Prince Liang's mansion."

"That's what King Liang sees clearly."

The emperor has been suppressing the mother family of the concubines and concubines in the harem, and has always kept everything under control. Obviously, the emperor has suffered enough from the powerful family. Can the mother family of the concubines and concubines in the harem not understand? It is clear that the imperial power is too attractive.

The next day, news came out from the capital that King Liang was seriously ill. The head of the Taiyuan Hospital lived in Prince Liang’s mansion. King Liang’s illness dragged on for a month, and then there were rumors that King Liang was dying soon.

King Liang was seriously ill in the capital, and there was another major event. The emperor was stingy with the position of concubine and concubine in the harem. He was promoted to a concubine position, Concubine Zhang. Then, Concubine Hui was seriously ill and could not take care of the two princes, the little prince. To be raised by Concubine Zhang.

This was a big blow to the Wang family, and finally realized the determination of the emperor, no longer pretending to be confused, and honest.

At this time, Zhao's younger brother finally arrived in the capital. Zhulan looked at the young man in front of her. Zhao's mother was a beautiful woman, and so was Zhao's. Her son Suiniang and Qian Keqi had grown into a gentle and jade-like son. very nice.

Zhulan gestured, "I was so tall when I left you back then, but now that I've grown up, I don't even dare to recognize it."

Qian Keqi has been living alone for many years, and is very skilled in human relationships. The best thing is to observe words and expressions, feel the kindness of the old lady, and the anxiety when he came here is gone, and said with a smile: "Because Keqi has grown up, these years I can look forward to thanking the old lady for taking care of me."

Zhulan smiled and motioned to sit down, she really didn't give much care, the real care was for the second room, but she didn't stop her, plus the Yang family's care for this child, it was the care of this child, "You are a good child. through."

Qian Keqi said, "The boy has lived alone for many years, and he is today thanks to this transparency."

Zhulan asked Qian Keqi's study again, and then said to the second daughter-in-law: "You sister and brother, let's talk, show him what is missing in the yard, and what needs to be arranged by you."

Zhao Shi smiled, "Okay."

Zhulan waited for Zhao to leave with Qian Keqi, and said to Qingxue, "This child is really good."

Qingxue nodded, but she was thinking that she was a bit female.

Zhao took his younger brother to the yard, "This yard is close to the front yard, so it's convenient if you want to go out. Let's see what else you can buy."

Qian Keqi felt concerned, and the strangeness of his sister disappeared. "It's already very good."

Zhao Shi said: "Your brother-in-law originally wanted to take a leave of absence. The Ministry of Rites has something to do temporarily. He can't leave. Let me tell you that I will have a good chat with you when I come back."

Qian Keqi said, "Okay, sister, I brought a gift and I don't know if you like it or not."

Zhao Shi thought of the leather she gave her, "It's not easy for you to live on your own. Your child has spent a lot of money this time."

"The New Year gifts that my sister and brother-in-law send back every year are more valuable. My family business has been doing well these years, and I don't need to worry about me too much Mrs. Zhao knows the situation of this younger brother very well, and knows that he has not slapped his face. The fat man said, "You rest first and talk later in the evening. "

When he went to the yamen, Changyi came back first and went to see his brother-in-law. He was stunned for a moment at his appearance. He was so good, and the capital was too dirty. Fortunately, it was his wife and brother.

Qian Keqi looked a little unnatural, "Brother-in-law?"

Chang Yi sighed, "In the future, you and Ming Rui should practice martial arts together."

Add some heroics.

Qian Keqi is not someone who doesn't know what to do, "Okay."

Another half an hour later, Zhulan frowned, it was already dark outside, and Shuren still didn't come home.

Changyi didn't pay much attention to a few, and sometimes Dad would come back late.

After another half an hour, Zhou Shuren returned to the house. Seeing Shuren's face was not good, Zhu Lan asked quickly, "But what happened?"
