Chapter 1721： Jiang girl

After dinner, Zhulan and his wife were enjoying the shade outside. Today's night was beautiful. Lying on the rocking chair looking at the starry sky and smelling the faint scent of mosquito repellent, it was very pleasant.

Zhou Shuren admired it for a while and said, "The days go by so fast."

"Yes."

Zhou Shuren asked, "It seems that I haven't received a letter from the Yang family for a long time."

Zhulan counted the days, "I guess it will be soon."

"Last time I wrote that my eldest brother was ill, and I don't know if it's better or not."

Zhulan thought that the people she knew had passed away one after another in recent years, she was silent, and sent away the people she knew, and she felt bad in her heart.

Zhou Shuren said again: "Big brother is in good shape, he will be fine."

Zhulan snorted, raised her head and continued to look at the stars all over the sky, it was so beautiful, the stars were brilliant, and her mood was much better.

Zhou Shuren held his daughter-in-law's hand, the corners of his mouth turned up, it was nice to have his daughter-in-law by his side.

At the end of the early morning the next day, Zhou Shuren was stopped by the emperor, and as the emperor left, Zhou Shuren walked with the prince.

The prince looked a little tired, and he didn't rest well at first glance, and the emperor also had a calm face.

The corner of Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to stay. The emperor told him to stay just now. He clearly felt that the ministers were relieved.

Back in the political hall, the emperor handed over a booklet, "Look at it."

Zhou Shuren turned page by page, his face darkened, "Damn it."

The emperor has already sat down to drink tea. In the past few days, all the tea in the government hall has been made of fire-fighting tea. In this way, the emperor's mouth is still bubbling, "I know that corrupt officials will never be allowed, as long as I don't turn a blind eye too much, But this shocking list, I am still too kind."

The last time Zhou Shuren came into contact with the thick list was the salt tax, "The minister was also shocked."

The roster is a progressive network of relationships, layer by layer. However, the bribes that Mr. Lu receives are still small, and the money invested in road construction is huge every year. This is only the money received by the imperial court. What about the donations of merchants from various states?

The emperor rubbed his forehead, "I am the most angry and cut corners on the dams. Shouldn't I be lucky that no major floods have occurred in the past two years?"

Zhou Shuren took a deep breath. He felt sorry for Yinzi, and was angry that he put the safety of the people at risk for the sake of it. "I should be glad."

The emperor, "It's time to let them know that there is a knife on their head."

Zhou Shuren put down the roster, "Only the lessons of blood can be remembered."

The emperor touched the roster, "The person who wrote the roster is dead, and the girl who brought the roster into Beijing."

After a pause, the emperor continued: "Give it to your wife."

Zhou Shuren, "Girl?"

The emperor nodded, "It's just a girl, you will know when you see her."

Zhou Shuren admired this girl very much, and would find an opportunity to report it.

The girl was in the palace, and people didn't arrive for a while, but Zhou Shuren was stunned when he saw them. The girl was blind in one eye and had a scar on her face.

The emperor said: "Miss Jiang wants to go to the women's college."

Zhou Shuren didn't stare at the girl, why is a good girl blind? He had already guessed, "I will take her back to the Hou residence first."

The emperor, "Yeah."

Eunuch Zhang was still holding a box in his hand, and Miss Jiang took it.

On the way out of the palace, Zhou Shuren had a hard time chatting with a teenage girl, and kept walking in silence.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Steward Ding was stunned when he saw the girl, and then looked away, fearing that the girl would be uncomfortable.

In the main courtyard, after Zhulan heard Shuren's words, Miss Jiang introduced herself again, feeling sorry for the girl in front of her, "Okay, I'll take you to the academy tomorrow."

Miss Jiang smiled, "Thank you Madam."

Zhulan said to Qingxue, "Take Miss Jiang to rest."

When Miss Jiang left, Zhu Lan said, "I really admire this girl."

Not everyone can stay sane in despair.

Zhou Shuren, "The emperor didn't tell me what Miss Jiang experienced, so don't ask."

Zhulan nodded, "I know it."

Zhou Shuren continued: "Recently restrained the children at home."

"Okay, are you still going back to the household?"

Zhou Shuren didn't want to go back, but unfortunately he couldn't, "Well."

After Zhou Shuren left, Zhulan sent someone to the academy to send a letter to the female official. The academy had to pack up a bedroom for Miss Jiang to live in. When Qingxue came back, Zhulan called the embroidered lady at home. Miss Jiang only brought a box and clothes. All need to be prepared.

There were more girls in the family, and Yudie knew about it, and they all came to the main courtyard when they wanted to go to see if they were stopped.

Zhulan told the origin of Miss Jiang, "She went to the college to teach."

Miss Jiang introduced herself as a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and hoped to teach her students. Zhulan admired the girl's heart, and the ordeal did not break her.

Yuwen listened quietly. She knew that there was a girl Shao, and now there was a girl Jiang. Her intuition told her that the academy would be very exciting. Would she like to go there a few more times?

In the afternoon of the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng came back from his palace, feeling a little dazed. He didn't recover his mind until he saw Zhuo Guyu.

Zhuo Guyu frowned, "Master Gu?"

Gu Sheng took his eyes back, thought for a while, but didn't speak. Today in the palace, he saw the Duke Yong'an. Thinking of this, he clicked, tsk, tsk, and the Duke's mansion really has money.

Zhuo Guyu's heart skipped a beat, Gu Sheng entered the palace today, he was relieved, and a little gloating, hoping that Gu Sheng would also be angered, but he didn't expect Gu Sheng to come back fine, and he looked at him strangely!

Zhuo Guyu was confused, stood up and said, "Can Master Gu take a step to speak?"

Gu Sheng, "Okay."

After leaving the house, Zhuo Guyu checked that there was no one around, and asked, "I owe you a favor, please tell me if there is anything wrong with the Duke's Mansion?"

Gu Sheng was silent for a while, and Zhuo Guyu, who had been impatient for a long time, just returned, "Today, the Duke of Guo entered the palace and donated half of his family property."

Anyway, Zhuo Guyu will know when he goes back.

Zhuo Guyu's mind went white, how could it be so sudden? He didn't know any news, and didn't grandpa lie down with a broken leg?

Zhuo Guyu wanted to ask again, but looked up and saw that Gu Sheng had already gone back.

The Ministry of Household, Zhou Shuren also received the order, "Half of the family property?"

Zhang Gonggong personally came to the Ministry of Household Yes, Yongan Guogong volunteered to donate to the national treasury. "

Zhou Shuren blinked. Today, the emperor has angered the government again?

Zhou Shuren's eyes were too obvious, and Eunuch Zhang lowered his head and said, "The grandfather took the initiative to drag his injured leg into the palace."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "I will clear the warehouse here."

Eunuch Zhang left, and Zhou Shuren said to Qiu Yan, "Clear out a few more warehouses."

Qiu Yan's heart skipped a beat, "Is it not enough for your lord to clear out the east warehouse in the morning?"

How much silver is in the entire eastern warehouse!

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that it might not be enough. He thought about the list on the roster, "You can arrange it."

Qiu Yan left worriedly, how many people's homes the emperor wanted to seize!

Before it was time for the Xia Yamen, the carriage of the Yongan Guogong's mansion arrived. With boxes of silver, Zhou Shuren's eyelids were jumping. How much silver was scraped in that year?
