Chapter 1681 I Want to Write an Article

Zhou Shuren carefully flipped through the book and said, "The book is good. Mingrui only brought the book back. Did he tell him how much tuition the academy would require to enroll students?"

Zhulan shook her head, "He didn't say, so it's hard to decide on the amount of the gift."

Orphans do not need any money to study, and they can pay it back slowly with the money they earn after graduation. However, when recruiting students from ordinary people's families, they have to pay tuition fees, and some rules have to be established from the beginning to avoid endless troubles in the future.

Zhou Shuren put down the book in his hand and said, "It's hard to judge the right balance."

Zhu Lan curled her lips and said, "This is something that Lord Rong En is concerned about."

"Yes, this is the challenge that the Emperor gave to Lord Rong En."

Zhulan said, "The date for the Second Prince's wedding has been set. I heard from Changyi that the Second Prince is in the Ministry of Rites every day. Does this mean he is not paying attention to his own marriage?"

The Second Prince was idle in the Ministry of Rites and was unwilling to visit his future wife's home. Compared to the Crown Prince's concern for the Crown Princess, the Second Prince's wife felt embarrassed.

Zhou Shuren, "Mr. Li hasn't looked very well these days."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "It is Miss Li who is suffering in this marriage."

Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart and changed the subject: "At the court this morning, Elder Liu mentioned discussing the date of Yudie's wedding."

Zhulan was speechless, "What did Changyi do again?"

Zhou Shuren laughed, "Yuanbo gave me another gift."

After Yudie came of age, Old Master Liu mentioned it, and he said he was not in a hurry, but Old Master Liu seemed to be hesitant to speak, which showed that he was angry and helpless about Yuanbo's behavior.

Zhulan laughed out loud, "The old man is also distressed."

Zhou Shuren, "I think Changyi was wronged this time. Changyi was reluctant to see Yudie get married early, so he would not take the initiative to cause trouble. This time, I guess Yuanbo wanted to give her a gift for her to get married early."

"Changyi felt at ease accepting his future son-in-law's filial piety, but this time he has shot himself in the foot."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "Yudie has already become the culprit for marrying Changyi."

Now he has received too many gifts, some of which cannot be returned, but he would feel angry if he accepted them. Zhou Shuren has no sympathy for his second son.

Zhulan was also angry, "What should I do?"

Zhou Shuren spread his hands, "I can't do anything. Even if Changyi is thick-skinned enough, I can't bear it even if Mr. Liu mentions it to me a few more times."

The Zhouhou Mansion cannot always refuse the marriage between the two families, but they can agree to set a wedding date. This date can be worked, and it is still possible for him to let his granddaughter marry off later if he wants.

Make Changyi anxious and let him stop.

Time passed quickly, and soon everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Princess was pregnant. The Crown Prince's offspring was related to the country, and the people were happy. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor loved the people, and were both good emperors in the hearts of the people. The Crown Prince was the next emperor, and the people were happy for the royal family that the Crown Prince had an offspring.

There are happy people and unhappy people. The emperor is the eldest legitimate son, and the prince is the eldest legitimate son. The royal family has a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Some people wanted to plot the prince's offspring, but the princess became pregnant before the child was even sent to the prince's backyard. I don't know how many people hoped that the princess would give birth to a girl.

The Zhou family also had a happy event. Zhou Shuren finally agreed to discuss the date of Yudie's wedding, and Changyi couldn't do anything even if he was angry.

At the Zhou Marquis's residence, Guo arrived in a beaming mood, "Madam, which day would you like to discuss the wedding?"

Zhulan looked through the auspicious dates sent by Guo. The Liu family was really anxious. They were all the nearest auspicious dates. "How about five days later?"

Now that you've given in, there's no need to drag it out. It's better to be decisive.

Guo: "I also think five days is good. Is it a deal?"

As she spoke, Guo looked at Zhao, and she felt even happier when she saw Zhao smiling. She liked Yudie, and she didn't care when Marquis Zhou didn't agree to marry her. But now that he agreed but was reluctant, she felt uncomfortable. Now that Zhao was also happy, she felt at ease.

Zhao looked at her mother-in-law and saw her nod, then continued, "It's settled."

Guo said yes repeatedly, thinking that Yuanbo was right to try to please her these times and that her son was smart.

Guo talked for a while and then left, and Zhao personally saw her out the door.

Guo got on the carriage and was speechless. "When did you come?"

Liu Yuanbo, "It wasn't long since my mother entered the Zhou Marquis's mansion."

"We'll discuss the wedding date in five days. You can put your mind at ease."

Liu Yuanbo was embarrassed, "Mom, I'm not the kind of person who forgets his mother after getting married."

Guo squinted and said, "I am not the kind of person who would make things difficult for my daughter-in-law."

Her son Jian Shijian was generous to his mother. Although she had no daughter, Yuan Bo was very considerate and caring. She was not jealous of her future daughter-in-law.

Yuan Bo touched his nose and said, "My uncle doesn't want to see me recently."

Guo burst out laughing, "You keep sending gifts, how could Lord Zhou not see through your little tricks?"

Liu Yuanbo, "Hey, I don't dare to visit you recently."

"I thought you had an iron head!"

Liu Yuanbo thought to himself that he was afraid of his future father-in-law and it would be useless even if he had an iron head.

In Yudie's yard, Yudie was chasing Yujiao and pretending to hit her, "Let you tease me."

Yu Jiaoren trotted quickly, "I'm telling the truth, Third Sister, I've really prepared something to make you look better."

After saying this, seeing that the third sister's face was even redder, Yu Jiao continued, "Third sister, I really envy you for getting the coming-of-age gift first and then getting the makeup gift."

Yudie couldn't stop Yujiao, so she stood and looked at Yuyi, "You don't want to do anything about it?"

Yuyi, "Is there something wrong with what Yujiao said?"

Yudie pointed at the two sisters Yuyi and said, "Okay, you two are here just to tease me!"

Yuyi smiled and said, "Third sister, come and sit here. You can't stand Yujiao."

Yudie was tired from running and sat down angrily, "You should take care of Yujiao and see if she looks like a lady."

"Her manners are pretty good. She's like the third sister."

The surface work is done very well!

Yudie choked, "I can't say anything better than you."

Yuyi winked at her sister, and Yujiao ran over, "Third sister, I have a gift for you."

Yudie, "Humph, you two sisters are bullying me."

Yujiao laughed out loud, "We are caring about our third sister."

When leaving the government office, at the gate of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Gu, who rarely came to pick someone up after the New Year, saw his younger brother getting in the car without saying a word and asked, "Are you worried about something?"

Gu Sheng asked back, "Brother, do you think the land is good?"

Gu Yan, "Watch it carefully."

His younger brother gave him a house and some land. He also had some silver from his injured leg. He had also touched the corpses of enemies during the war, and he was lucky enough to get some things in exchange for some silver. So he had some silver in his hands, and after much deliberation, he decided to buy some more land.

Gu Sheng, "Just watch it."

"You haven't told me what's on your mind yet? Even if I can't help you, I can still give you some advice."

Gu Sheng said quietly, "Today I heard from Lord Zhou that the third young lady of the Zhou Marquis's Mansion has agreed on a date for her wedding."

Gu Yan asked tentatively, "Do you want to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage?"

Gu Sheng: "It's not time yet."

Oh, I should have left some leeway when I rejected someone. After all, if he had left some leeway, his life would not be peaceful.

After Zhulan and her husband finished dinner, Zhou Shuren felt uneasy when his wife looked at him. "Why are you staring at me?"

Zhu Lan approached Shu Ren and said, "I am Mr. Feng Qing, right?"

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhu Lan took today's newspaper and said, "I have a vest approved by the emperor. Can I write articles under the name Mr. Feng Qing?"
