Chapter 1733 Each Other

Yu Wen angrily drove Zhuo Ya away. Gu Sheng's eyes sparkled, "The county lord has good taste."

Yu Wen chuckled, "Yeah, I also think I have good taste."

Gu Sheng wanted to get engaged, and he regretted refusing the proposal without any hesitation. Now he needs to wait to get engaged. As for getting married, he is not in a hurry. The county lord is still young, and he just wants to bring her home as an engagement.

Yu Wen stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Gu Sheng's eyes. "What are you thinking about? You haven't said anything for so long. The tea in front of you has gone cold."

Gu Sheng smiled, picked up the teacup and said, "I want to save more money."

There are still too few fields, and we must have a farm at least.

Yu Wen raised her eyebrows. "You really don't care about your reputation? It's almost been three years since you were in the Imperial Academy."

“I prefer real value.”

As for the full three years, he was really not worried. He did not want to rely on Zhou Hou Mansion. He also had his own plans. Thinking of this, Yu Guang looked at the bright county lord, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Yuwen was passing by the garden on her way home when she was stopped by Minghui. "Let me take a look. Is this still my lazy girl? You've been going out a lot lately!"

Yuwen, "Why have you been staying at home lately and not leaving the city?"

Minghui choked, "Your mouth is designed to pierce people's hearts."

"Same here, so you're not staring at Miss Shao anymore?"

Minghui wanted to roll his eyes. Everyone in his family was smart, and there were really no secrets. "Goodbye."

Yuwen really left like this, so she didn't bother to care about Minghui, although she was surprised by Minghui's choice.

Minghui said to the boy, "Look, she doesn't look like my sister at all."

The servant lowered his head and said nothing, thinking in his heart that only Miss Yujiao was like a younger sister, the other ladies were too opinionated.

In the main courtyard, Li was mumbling, "I am also a peasant girl, and I don't look down on Miss Shao's status. I said I wanted to meet her, but Minghui held me back."

Zhulan, "The child has grown up and has his own plans."

Oh, she knew Shao Ting was hiding from Minghui, the girl was clear-headed! Well, she was indeed the girl she liked.

Li: "My husband told me to stop caring about it, but I am still thinking about you."

"Don't worry about it. You won't be able to hide when it's your turn."

Li snorted, "I'll wait for Minghui to beg me."

Zhulan was happy, "There will definitely be such a day."

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren checked the accounts with the Crown Prince and handed the calculated figures to the Crown Prince, "There is no problem now."

Prince, "Excuse me, Lord."

"No trouble."

The prince asked someone to bring the account book and said, "It's time to collect taxes again."

Zhou Shuren was alert, "Taxes are limited."

Everything has been arranged before it is recorded in the accounts. The bulk of next year's expenses will be on the autumn taxes. He will be thankful if the taxes don't decrease every year.

The prince touched his nose. Recently, his father had been thinking about getting money from Marquis Zhou, and Marquis Zhou was particularly vigilant.

The prince said: "Zhangzhou's tax revenue has increased significantly."

Zhou Shuren smiled more, "Well, my tax bills used to be embarrassing, but now they look great."

The prince said calmly, "The marquis's grandson-in-law is still the county magistrate. It's a pity for him to continue to be the county magistrate."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "As long as it can benefit the people, it doesn't matter where I work."

The prince smiled, "Your Highness is right."

After Zhou Shuren and the other princes left, he had a lot of thoughts. This time, the purge brought about by Lord Lu had left a lot of official positions vacant in the capital, and some officials in various states also needed to be filled. The prince promoted Liu Feng, and the emperor no longer pressured him to take an official position.

After careful calculation, the only one who could be transferred because of his meritorious service was Liu Feng. It was he who placed Ming Yun next to Wu Ming. The emperor would not transfer her and would inform him if he had any idea.

Chang Lian had just been transferred not long ago, so his position on the map would not be easily moved.

Zhou Shuren thought silently that the Zhou family was far inferior to the aristocratic families. There was no one in his family who could be transferred, but how many people in the aristocratic families were waiting for the opportunity to be transferred!

After leaving the government office, at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi came out and saw his father's carriage. He trotted to the carriage and asked, "Dad, why are you here to pick up your son?"

"Come up and talk."

"Why."

Many officials in the Ministry of Rites were jealous. Look at that person’s father!

When they got on the carriage, Zhou Shuren told Chang Yi about Liu Feng's transfer and promotion. Chang Yi was excited, "Is it true?"

"Are you telling the truth?"

Chang Yi was so happy that his face was beaming with joy, "What Dad said must be true."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "I wanted to stay in Liufeng for another year or two. Now is his chance."

This plan really cannot keep up with the changes. Who could have imagined that Mr. Lu's case would involve so many people and so many officials would be caught.

Chang Yi was happy for his son-in-law. The better the son-in-law and the better the daughter-in-law, the better. "Do you want to write a letter to tell Liu Feng?"

"Just let me know so I don't get caught off guard."

Chang Yi asked, "Is it so urgent?"

Zhou Shuren lowered his voice and said, "If the emperor doesn't hold back, the vacant positions will soon be divided up."

"My son will write an urgent letter when he returns."

"Well, I don't know where to be transferred to."

There is no chance of returning to Beijing. The prince's intention is very clear, he wants to go somewhere else to benefit the people.

Chang Yi was a little worried, "Isn't this another poor and remote place?"

My son-in-law has made great contributions in growing medicinal herbs. I am really afraid of sending him to a poor state again.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "We'll know when the time comes."

Liu Feng is a very stable child. There is no need to worry about where he is transferred to. This child has a promising future. Don’t be afraid of difficulties because he is still here!

In the evening, after dinner, Zhulan sighed, "It's hard for Changlian to return to the capital, and the same is true for Liufeng and Yushuang."

It’s still better in modern times. If you have a vacation, you can just take a plane and come back. In ancient times, you couldn’t even think about it.

Zhou Shuren said, "Then write a letter and ask Yushuang to bring the two children back to stay for a while?"

"Forget it, the child is still young, don't bother yourself with it, wait until the child is older."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I'll accompany you."

Zhulan also smiled, "You are the only one who can always stay with me."

The next day, in the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng touched his face and frowned. Zhuo Guyu looked at him with something wrong!

Zhuo Guyu felt like he was on fire. When Zhuo Ya came back yesterday, he realized that Ji Deming was right. His doubts had dissipated with time, but now he felt like he had been slapped in the face.

The Zhouhou Mansion would rather recognize Gu Sheng, who came from a poor family, but avoids the Yongan Mansion. If the two families had been married, how could the Yongan Mansion be in the predicament it is in today.

Zhuo Guyu was unwilling to accept this. Now that he had entered the palace, Gu Sheng had surpassed him. No one in the Hanlin Academy looked down on Gu Sheng anymore. All this was due to the Zhou Hou Mansion!

Gu Sheng has already realized that Miss Zhuo must have said something. He doesn't think Zhuo Guyu will make it public, so he doesn't care.

At noon, Zhuo Guyu stopped Gu Sheng and said, "Oh, I thought you were no more capable than this."

Gu Sheng smiled, took a step forward and said in a low voice: "We are the same, but it's a pity that you can't rely on me even if you want to."

If you don't rely on Zhou Houfu, the county lord will ignore you!
