Chapter 1660 Feng Qing
Minghui was also annoyed. This place was far from the county town, and it was not easy to go out to buy things. He sighed and said, "If the land route was not so slow, I would really like to take you there."
Yu Yueyang handed the hand warmer to his fiancée and said, "The water route is still faster. You can see that no one has left and they are all waiting for the boat to sail."
Minghui wanted to go to the next river bank to wait for the boat, but unfortunately he needed to book the boat ticket in advance, and sometimes there might not be any tickets, so he gave up the idea.
Fortunately, no one saw that they were young and provoked them, and the guards' skills shocked those who were traveling with them.
Yuyi listened to the wind and said, "The temperature has dropped dramatically in the past few days."
Yu Jiao leaned in her sister's arms, "Fortunately, my sister bought more charcoal and food."
Yuyi was also glad that the return trip was really wonderful. "According to the date, it should snow in the capital."
Yujiao missed her own yard and was trapped here, feeling depressed just thinking about it.
In Beijing, Shuren and his wife had dinner. They were reading a book when Changyi walked in and said, "Dad, Mom."
Zhou Shuren put down the book and said, "I'm much better now."
Chang Yi, "My son knows, so I came to see."
Zhou Shuren sat up and asked, "What are you looking at your mother doing?"
Chang Yi said, "Today, the Second Prince asked whether Dad was well again."
Zhou Shuren, "He also said something else."
Chang Yi nodded, "The Second Prince mentioned the orphan of the manor, and said he wanted to go and see him."
Zhulan thought the Second Prince had calmed down, "The manager of the manor can't stop the prince."
So there is no need to say anything to Changyi.
Chang Yi smiled, "The Second Prince has been studying very hard recently and has become more friendly to others."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that this was a sign of learning to be smart. He wanted to restore his image, "Just do your own thing well."
Chang Yi knew what was going on. "My son knows."
Zhou Shuren was not worried about his sons. After many years of official career, they were able to survive independently. He was worried about his grandson. "Mingrui has been away from home for some time."
Chang Yi was also thinking about his son, and was more relieved, "He can learn a lot from Rong Enqing on this trip."
My father taught Rong Enqing in the past. Rong Enqing has kept a low profile in recent years, but that doesn’t mean he is incompetent. He is happy that his son is learning from Rong Enqing.
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I'm glad you think so."
Chang Yi was very proud of his eldest son. He remembered that his father had not recovered yet, so he stood up and said, "Dad, you and mom should go to bed early. I am going home now."
"Um."
Zhulan waited for her son to leave, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "Don't read anymore. Go to bed early."
Zhou Shuren didn't plan to read it, "Okay."
In the following days, Zhou Shuren did not rush to attend court after he recovered, and the emperor did not urge him, so Zhou Shuren stayed at home.
It hasn’t snowed since the first snow. Today is the second snow since the beginning of winter. The snow is not heavy, but the temperature is very low, comparable to the coldest month of winter.
Zhou Shuren roasted by the fire, "It's more comfortable to be at home in this weather."
Zhulan pointed at the book on the table and said, "Come and take a look at the printed book."
Zhou Shuren, "The printing is good, but it's a pity."
Zhu Lan's joy faded a little, "It's a pity that I can't use my real name. I use Mr. Feng Qing."
Zhou Shuren also regrets this, because he wants to promote it so that more people can learn it. To put it bluntly, the ancients were too strict with women, and the names of daughters-in-law could not be used. Prejudices are difficult to eliminate. "Future generations will prove your name."
Zhulan touched the book and said, "This is good enough."
Now these are just the foundation books, and the remaining books will be promoted in the future. I just hope that the future will be better.
Chang Zhong walked into the yard in the snow. Zhou Shuren snorted when he saw him, "You're not staying at home on a snowy day."
Zhulan put away the book, Changzhong came in, and the girl in the cloak took it away.
Chang Zhong saw his father glaring at him and touched his nose, "My son is not a fool."
Zhou Shuren, "This can only convince you."
Chang Zhong sat down on the small kang near the window after he felt warmer. He took off his shoes and said to his father, "My son was called out by the Fourth Prince and his future consort."
Zhou Shuren only knew that his son went out after breakfast, but he had no idea why. "It's snowing and so cold, what were you doing?"
Chang Zhong frowned, "Enjoy the snow."
And they were outside enjoying the snow, which froze him to death.
Zhulan had asked the maid to change the tea to ginger tea and motioned for her son to drink it. "You don't have to worry about getting sick anymore."
Chang Zhong, "The fourth prince and the future prince consort are together, and both of them are just waiting to be sick and lazy."
One doesn't want to do homework, and the other doesn't want to work.
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "They are all rich and leisurely people."
One has a brother who is the crown prince, so as long as the crown prince can rely on her for the rest of her life, the other is a princess who will not get involved in the dispute.
Changzhong looked at the snow outside the window and said, "I don't know when this heavy snow will end, and I don't know where Minghui is."
Zhulan counted the days, "Yesterday she wrote that she was delayed for a few days and would be back later."
As for where she was, she couldn't figure it out.
Chang Zhong was worried, "They must be suffering in such a cold weather."
Zhou Shuren said: "I will go back to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow."
Changzhong, "Dad, don't you take a few more days off?"
Zhou Shuren pointed at the snow outside the window, which had turned into a heavy snowfall. "I'm afraid there will be a disaster."
Changzhong became even more worried. He was concerned about his nephews and nieces.
The next day, there was no morning court session due to heavy snow. The snow on the streets was very thick. Fortunately, the heavy snow stopped last night. Zhou Shuren thought about it and decided to enter the palace.
The snow in the palace had been cleared, and when Zhou Shuren arrived, the emperor was talking with the prince.
The emperor gestured for ginger tea, "I thought you would rest for a few more days."
Zhou Shuren said, "I am a worrier. It snowed heavily yesterday and I didn't get a good night's rest."
The emperor was relieved, "I was also worried about a snowstorm, but luckily the snow has stopped."
Zhou Shuren said: "I just heard it. Did the grassland suffer a disaster?"
The emperor motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down, "It snowed heavily on the grassland a few days ago, and the urgent letter was sent back to the capital."
Zhou Shuren was worried, "Are the cattle and sheep okay?"
It was not easy to breed them.
The emperor found the memorial and handed it to Zhou Shuren, "Read it for yourself."
Zhou Shuren quickly looked through the memorials. Although some of them were frozen to death, fortunately they were dealt with and not much damage was caused.
The emperor continued, "I want to send a batch of food over. If you don't come to the palace today, I will send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to tell you."
Zhou Shuren calculated in his mind that there was food, and it had just been put into storage not long ago, "I can allocate a batch of food."
The emperor asked again, "Is Mingteng feeling better?"
Zhou Shuren replied, "He has recovered. He has been in mourning and writing scriptures at home recently."
Your Majesty, "He is a good boy."
Zhou Shuren felt sorry for his grandson. When his grandson recovered from his illness and came to see him, he saw that his grandson had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. The child had to observe mourning and be a vegetarian, so he had no way to help his grandson recuperate.
The emperor added: "Let the child have a good rest and don't let him get tired."
Zhou Shuren thought about chatting with Ming Teng in the evening, "Yes."
At the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, Liu Jia stood up and welcomed her mother into the house. Ma said, "Is Mingteng feeling better?"
Liu Jia helped her mother sit down, "It's ready, my husband is in the study, I'll go and inform him."
Ma waved her hands, "Don't bother my son-in-law. I just came to check on you because I was worried. I hope you are all well. I will go back after sitting for a while."
