Chapter 1749 Test

Zhou Shuren had very sharp ears and couldn't help but roll his eyes, what a jerk!

After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren went straight back to the Ministry of Revenue, without any intention of going to the Hanlin Academy to see Changzhi. As a result, Changzhi went to the palace and said to the emperor, "Your father told you."

Chang Zhi looked bewildered, "I didn't see my father yesterday."

So what did the emperor say to his father?

emperor,"!!"

Changzhi learned the reason from the prince's explanation, and then felt particularly cheated that his father did not tell him such an important thing. He was once again sure that his father did not ask him to go to the main courtyard yesterday!

The emperor was speechless, "Go back and prepare."

Changzhi couldn't suppress his thoughts, "My Lord, can I ask any questions you want?"

The emperor was silent, "Don't go beyond the limit."

Chang Zhizheng has been in the palace for many years and has a good understanding of the emperor's bottom line. With the bonus of having a father, "I would like to ask a question that is closer to reality?"

The emperor looked at Zhou Changzhi deeply. He felt a little regretful for letting him go. He felt that it would be better for him to be locked up in the Hanlin Academy. But then he thought, he could only let him out once. If he really dared to do something big, he would be kept in the Hanlin Academy and would not be able to get out.

The prince saw Zhou Changzhi walking out happily and said, "The emperor hasn't given his order yet. We can actually consider changing someone."

The emperor smiled and said, "No need, just him."

The prince also laughed, "Marquis Zhou's sons are all quite interesting."

The emperor sighed, "So Zhou Shuren knows how to educate children."

Who can still remember what Zhou Shizi looked like before? Zhou Shuren's sons all have his shadow. The father is the son's role model, and the son will unconsciously imitate the father.

Zhou Changzhi returned to the Hanlin Academy, which attracted the attention of everyone in the academy. This was the first time he left the palace so quickly!

Gu Sheng was a little worried, so he found an opportunity to go over and ask, "Sir, are you okay?"

Changzhi said cheerfully, "What can I do?"

Gu Sheng confirmed that the master was in a happy mood and felt relieved. He said that with Marquis Zhou around, Master Zhou would not anger the emperor.

Chang Zhi paused as he was packing his things. This time his transfer would not be made public. He would go there secretly to interview the students on the list. The official transfer would be made in the summer. It would be winter when he returned, and almost a year would have passed.

This meant that he couldn't stare at Gu Sheng anymore, and the smile on Chang Zhi's face faded a little.

Gu Sheng noticed and asked, "Sir?"

Chang Zhi said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, you said at the beginning that you would not get engaged within three years."

Gu Sheng's ears turned red. "Yes."

Chang Zhi smiled even more, "Three years are almost over, and there are many people watching you."

Gu Sheng's back was sweating. After the New Year, some people came to inquire about it. If the head of the Wang family had not passed away, there would be even more people asking. "I rejected them all."

Chang Zhi hummed, "You need to be more careful this year. There are generous people, but there are more stingy people. If you make someone lose face, someone will ruin you."

If Dayou can't become my son-in-law, then it's ruined.

Gu Sheng also knew why Zhuo Guyu and Ji Deming did not make it public. They clearly knew it, all because of these dark thoughts. If they did not make it public, who would know about his relationship with Zhou Houfu?

Gu Sheng reacted, that's not right, Lord Zhou is in the Hanlin Academy, he really is not afraid of being plotted against, "Sir?"

Changzhi patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you. This is my final test for you."

He wanted to see if Gu Sheng could protect himself without him.

Gu Sheng felt that the matter was not simple, but he did not dare to ask. He knew clearly what he should ask and what he should not ask.

At Zhou Hou Mansion, Zhu Lan was looking at the painting sent by her daughter-in-law, "Jiang Shengnian will only be painting in the future."

Xuemei smiled and said, "He agreed to paint for my father and brother-in-law, and has been staying in the study to paint since the beginning of the year."

Zhulan, "Your father said there's no rush."

Xuemei curled her lips, "Dad is not in a hurry, but Jiang Sheng is in a hurry to honor his father-in-law."

Zhulan carefully put the painting away and said, "I heard that many people brought expensive gifts to become my disciples after the New Year."

Xuemei helped her mother sit down, "Well, they all wanted to become my husband's disciples, but I didn't accept any of them."

"Why?"

Xuemei said, "My husband said that they are not sincere, and many of them came for the Marquis' Mansion, and my husband does not plan to accept too many apprentices."

"Jiang Sheng lives a transparent life."

Xuemei smiled and curled her eyes. "He's very good."

Zhu Lan asked: "Jiang Lei is also good at drawing."

Xuemei said, "Of the several children, the twins are not around, and only Lei'er has inherited my husband's talent, but this child is still a mixed-up child, lacking a lot."

"This kid is pretty good. He can keep his composure despite all the attention."

How many people want to meet Jiang Sheng through Jiang Lei? It is very rare for a child to keep his original intention amidst the popularity.

Xuemei narrowed her eyes and said, "All the children are good."

Except for some hardship when she first got married, her life was smooth.

Zhu Lan asked, "Miao'er is pregnant again, are you going to take care of her?"

Xuemei shook her head. "Jiang Sheng and I can't go. Mu'er's parents-in-law have already left."

"That's fine. Your parents-in-law are not young anymore."

Xuemei was not worried at all that her daughter would be wronged. Her parents' family was her daughter's support, and the Jiang family would not dare to let their daughter get upset. She hoped that this baby would be a boy, and she would be more relieved if she had both a son and a daughter.

Time passed quickly, and the funeral of Mr. Wang was over. Ding You, the direct descendant of the Wang family, was at home. The Wang family was not afraid of losing their position after Ding You's death, not only because of the talk in the court, but also because the Wang family had made enough achievements and were honest. The emperor thought of them, so Wang Ju was able to stay at home with her children and grandchildren to mourn.

Yu Lu brought back two children. Zhu Lan picked up her beloved grandson with a distressed look on her face. "He's lost weight. Look at the fat on his face."

Yu Lu herself has lost a lot of weight. Her mother-in-law is ill, and she has been helping her grandmother to take care of things. Now she has some free time.

Li was also distressed. "You can only be a vegetarian when you are in mourning. Bring back more fruits. Your second uncle's steward brought back a lot of southern fruits."

Seeing that her sons wanted to eat, Yu Lu said, "Thank you, grandma, thank you, mom."

Zhulan said, "What are you thanking me for? I would have sent it to you even if you didn't come."

The Wang family has just finished the funeral and needs to slow down a bit. Normal shopping during the mourning period will not be affected, but the supply of some expensive fruits will be reduced.

Zhuoping wiped the corners of his brother's mouth with a handkerchief and whispered, "Eat slowly."

Zhuoqing held up the fruit and said, "Brother, eat too."

Zhulan looked at the two little kids and asked Yulu, "Is your mother-in-law feeling better?"

Yu Lu nodded, "It's much better now."

Li lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't take care of it?"

Yu Lu said: "My mother-in-law knew how hard I worked and felt sorry for me so she didn't let me go and told me to take good care of myself."

Li's smile deepened, "I'll go see your mother-in-law tomorrow."

Yu Lu nodded, "Okay."

Li had already figured out what to bring. Zhulan looked at Li with a smile on her face and felt that self-confidence is accumulated bit by bit. Li used to be afraid of Yulu's mother-in-law, but now she is not afraid of her anymore.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and said, "Tomorrow we will hear the case of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion."

Zhu Lan, "Hey, Changzhong is not at home, and I can't get any news about Master Wu. I don't know how the young masters of the noble families are doing to save themselves."
