Chapter 1751: Native Sichuan Province

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back with the box. He changed into his official uniform but did not rest. He motioned Qingxue to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhulan had been watching Shuren busy, and only then did she speak, "What are you going to write?"

Zhou Shuren touched the box and opened it carefully, taking out Mr. Wang's insights and experiences. "This is the wealth left by Mr. Wang."

The essence of a great family!

Zhulan's eyes widened a little, "How did you get it?"

Zhou Shuren laughed, "At first I thought Wang Ju was showing off, but then I thought it was wrong, it should be the old man who left a will. I have no master to guide me in this life, so the old man is half my master."

Zhulan sighed, "The old man is really good to you."

Zhou Shuren took out his notebook and touched it, "I will also record my feelings and experiences in the future."

"Um."

The couple had a simple dinner and Zhulan also helped with the writing. Not to mention Zhou Shuren, Zhulan also gained a lot of insights while writing and reciting silently. Every sentence in the notes is the essence and valuable advice. My baby!

The next day, Zhou Shuren didn't have time to write, so Zhulan took it over. The couple were not so shameless as to not return it, so they might as well write it down and return it to Wang Ju as soon as possible.

Moreover, he only wrote it down for his own reading and would destroy it in the future. It was a favor for the old man to show it to Shuren, and they should not push their luck further.

Days passed by, in the Qin Palace, Rong Chuan looked through the investigation information, "Chuanzhou?"

Ze'er nodded, "The An family's ancestral home is in Sichuan Province, but they are working in Pennsylvania."

Rongchuan knew a lot. Although he was in mourning, he would sometimes go to the palace to chat with his brother. The emperor had told him where his fourth brother had gone. He was also a person who had read the secret memorials. "Chuanzhou."

Ze'er was puzzled, "Dad, is there any problem in Chuanzhou?"

"This is a big problem. It looks like we need to investigate Mr. An from the Ministry of Industry."

"ah?"

Rongchuan smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me."

As for Lu Jiaqing's matter, there is only information about the An family. The An family has never lost a child, and there are no problems in the rear house.

Ze'er felt itchy inside, but he could only endure it. He was still too young. "What about Lu Jiaqing?"

"Continue to investigate around the An family."

There is currently no information found about Lu Jiaqing.

Ze'er said, "Dad, if we can't find out the truth, will you still recommend Lu Jiaqing to enter the palace as a guard?"

Rong Chuan rubbed his son's head, "You have to know that when a goose passes by, it leaves traces. There is nothing that cannot be found."

Ze'er, "Dad is right."

Rongchuan asked, "Has it been difficult studying in the palace these days?"

Ze'er shook his head, "It's not hard at all. I still like listening to grandpa's lectures."

It’s a pity that grandpa is too busy. He can only ask more questions when grandpa is on annual leave.

"Your grandpa worked very hard."

My father has contributed so much behind the scenes for the country’s current development.

Ze'er's eyes are full of admiration. There are too many people in Beijing who envy and admire his grandfather, but they cannot say anything disrespectful about his abilities!

At the mansion of Marquis Zhou, Countess Zheng came with her daughter to visit. Zhulan was puzzled because the two families had not had any contact with each other except for sending New Year gifts during the Spring Festival.

Countess Zheng said, "Mr. Zhou Si is in the Hanlin Academy. I want to ask about Mr. Gu in the Hanlin Academy."

Zhulan, “!!”

What a good vision!

The Countess waited for a reply with keen eyes. She had asked about Lord Gu, but the more she asked, the more she felt something was wrong. Today's inquiry was just a test.

Zhu Lan smiled, "Gu Sheng, this child has his own ideas and is very good at managing his family. My fourth child has always been very protective of him."

The Countess sighed, having finally chosen her son-in-law. "The Count heard that Mr. Gu's paintings were good, so he wanted to buy one, so I shamelessly came to inquire about him."

Zhulan thought that it was pleasant to hear a smart person speak, "Gu Sheng must be happy, he has been saving the family fortune."

The Countess smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou Si has good taste."

Zhulan wanted to say that her granddaughter had good taste, and then she said, "Time flies. It's the autumn exam again. When winter comes, the capital will be bustling again."

The Countess's mind moved slightly, "Madam is right."

Zhulan glanced at Miss Zheng who was drinking tea quietly. The little girl looked gentle and didn't look like a girl from a military family at all. Then again, the Zheng family members didn't look like they were from a military family.

After talking for a while, the countess left with her daughter.

Zhulan said to Qingxue: "The Zheng family is planning to choose a son-in-law from a poor family with no foundation."

Qingxue, "There aren't many options in the Earl's Mansion."

Zhulan knew that it was not easy, and the Zheng family was afraid that one wrong step would lead to disaster.

Changzhi and Changzhong had both left the house, and no one familiar with Gu Sheng was around. Zhulan signaled Qingxue and Yuwen to tell them to send the painting to the Marquis's mansion, and they would help sell it.

Yuwen indicated that she understood, and after Qingxue left, the eldest maid said, "Miss, it's not just the Zheng family that has set their sights on Master Gu."

Yuwen, "It shows that I have good taste."

"You're not afraid."

Yu Wen was not afraid. First, she believed in her own judgment. Second, Gu Sheng was not someone who could be easily manipulated. "You go and deliver the message."

The eldest girl was stunned, "Young lady, are you not going in person?"

"No, I promised Dad."

The eldest girl was speechless. The master left and asked the young lady to promise not to see Mr. Gu and to wait for the master to come back!

Yuwen continued to read the newspaper. She would not interfere with the test her father gave to Gu Sheng. As she read the facts in the newspaper, she was very pleased with the newspaper.

In the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng got on his own carriage. The servant told him the news from the Marquis' Mansion, "Sir, the Earl's Mansion wants to buy your paintings!"

There was pride in his tone. His master was amazing. The most amazing thing was that he was favored by Zhou Houfu!

Gu Sheng did not feel very happy. Instead, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the Earl's Mansion wanted to buy a painting, they could just go to him directly. Why would they go through so much trouble? It was obvious that he went to Marquis Zhou to verify the news. Would the Marquis' Mansion think that he was restless?

Then I relaxed. If the Marquis’ Mansion had any ideas, they wouldn’t help sell the paintings!

The servant asked, "Sir?"

Gu Sheng came back to his senses, "It's nothing, I'm a little tired today."

Whether Lord Zhou of the Hanlin Academy is there or not has a huge impact on him. As long as Lord Zhou is there, he just needs to do his job well. No one will add to his tasks. He can also have time to drink tea with Lord Zhou.

After Lord Zhou was no longer in the Hanlin Academy, he had more and more work to do. Recently, he has been unable to leave the office on time. Today, he came out half an hour late.

These are not the problem. He is not afraid of having too many tasks as he has the real skills to complete them. The biggest change is that he has been entering the palace less frequently. Recently, it is Zhuo Guyu who has been entering the palace.

He was not jealous of Zhuo Guyu, knowing clearly that no one would be valued without reason, and he deeply realized that his success came from the protection of the Marquis' Mansion.

Zhoujia Village is the nearest county town. Minghui asked, "We are almost home. Why don't we hurry on while the city gates are still open?"

Chang Zhong, "No, I want to stay in the county town to rest for two days."

We agreed to walk slowly, but the road was well built and we returned home earlier than expected.

Minghui said with some excitement, "It's a good opportunity to visit my hometown tomorrow."

Changzhong had already gotten off the carriage, "Yeah."
