Chapter 1778 Impatience
Shu Ren was not afraid of investigation. He had never made any effort to confiscate property, nor had he ever taken a penny from the Ministry of Revenue.
When the emperor heard the footsteps, he looked at Zhou Shuren and then at the shelf. He became even more worried. Who could be as attentive as Zhou Shuren?
Zhou Shuren saw the emperor frowning and then smiling. He looked a little puzzled, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor was in a good mood. He thought that Marquis Zhou could still help him manage the Ministry of Revenue, but when his son succeeded to the throne, he would have to find someone himself.
With this comparison, the emperor was in a particularly good mood and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Shuren was even more confused. What was there to laugh at?
At the imperial manor, Zhou Shuren got off the carriage with a wooden face. The emperor was in a particularly good mood during this journey. He felt that he understood the emperor. He didn't get the point this time and smiled at him from time to time, which made him feel uneasy.
Ming Teng received the letter and waited outside the manor, "I have seen the emperor."
The emperor gestured, "Today you will introduce the manor."
Ming Teng, "Yes."
He knew that this was a test, and the emperor wanted to test how much he knew about the imperial estate.
Zhou Shuren was not worried about Mingteng. The child was becoming more and more steady and reliable, so the emperor's test was no big deal.
The imperial estate was divided into many test plots. Ming Teng said, "Your Majesty, I will start with the fertilizer test plot."
The emperor looked at the lush green fields and thought of his achievements. All his worries disappeared instantly. "Okay, let me see what you have learned."
Ming Teng learned a lot. He also helped with the farming in the spring and even fertilized the seedlings himself.
Zhou Shuren said nothing. He walked with Eunuch Zhang in a very quiet group. In the end, only Mingteng's voice could be heard. Mingteng participated personally and had a good idea about the situation. He could talk about the data compared with last year without hesitation.
The more Zhou Shuren listened, the more his lips curled up. Then he heard the emperor say, "Okay, the Rong family can rest assured with you."
Zhou Shuren, "."
Oh, the grandson has been adopted!
The next day, Zhulan found out why the emperor took Shuren to the imperial manor. She also didn't know how Concubine Liu in the palace had offended the emperor. Not only was she confined to her house for half a year, but she was also punished to copy scriptures for the empress.
This news came from the palace, and no one would believe it without the emperor's permission.
Zhulan, "The emperor intends to punish me."
She was a little surprised that Concubine Liu was the first to come forward. Did Concubine Liu forget the rumors about the wedding?
Zhao said conspiratorially, "This rumor didn't spread for long. Concubine Liu wouldn't be so stupid. She must have been tricked."
Zhulan thought so too. After the Queen passed away, there were rumors that the Second Prince got married to celebrate the occasion, but the Queen passed away before he got married. People also said that the Second Prince had bad luck.
Later, the emperor took action and the rumor died down.
Li, "If I was plotted against, I don't know who did it."
Su Xuan said: "This is the disadvantage of not having a queen."
Zhu Lan said: "The Wen family has been very low-key recently."
After the Queen passed away, Old Master Wen fell ill and has been recuperating ever since.
Su Xuan, "The Wen family keeps a low profile so that we can see who dances the most happily, and it is indeed a wise move for the Wen family to keep a low profile."
Zhulan nodded in agreement. It would be foolish for the Wen family to cling to the prince. The lower the profile they kept now, the better it would be for the Wen family.
Li suddenly asked, "Mother, Minghui is organizing his knowledge points. How long will it take him to finish organizing them?"
Minghui has been staying in the study for the past few days, staying there all day long. Once she went to the study, she felt dizzy just looking at the books on the table.
When Zhulan heard this, Li felt sorry for her son and said, "Finish it until his grandfather is satisfied."
Li immediately responded, "Mom, I will keep a close eye on Minghui and not let him slack off."
Bamboo orchid, "."
Zhao and Su Xuan looked at each other and burst out laughing. For so many years, the elder sister-in-law was most afraid of her father-in-law.
In the study, Minghui didn't know about the main courtyard yet. He felt dizzy while reading the book. He wished time could go back. He couldn't help but slap himself in the face, which made him agree to his grandfather's proposal without hesitation!
The servant sympathized with the young master and asked, "How about taking a break?"
Minghui gritted his teeth and said, "No need."
He couldn't leave the house until he had finished sorting things out, and he also wanted to prove himself.
In a teahouse in the capital, Yuwen accepted Miss He's invitation. He Sishi wanted to ask Yuwen for help in choosing a gift for her grandmother.
The two came to the largest jewelry store in Beijing. Yuwen could get in some stores in Beijing by using her face, as the shop assistants in Beijing were very good at remembering people.
As soon as they entered the jewelry store, the waiter saw clearly that there was no more distinguished guest than the county lord today, so he invited the county lord in and asked another waiter to invite the shopkeeper over.
He Sishi whispered, "I'm grateful to you today."
She doesn't have the face to do this if she comes by herself, and can only enjoy this treatment if she follows the elders in her family.
Yu Wen said: "I hope you can get more of it."
He Sishi blushed. The two families had basically communicated with each other and were just waiting to get engaged after the autumn examination.
The shopkeeper came in quickly and said, "Your Highness, you came at a good time. We have recently received some new jewelry. Please come upstairs."
There has been no big sales recently, all due to the death of the Empress. The county lord is not short of money, and the shopkeeper's eyes are shining.
Yu Wen was used to such looks. Her mother's family was wealthy; the entire Su family was brought into the Marquis's mansion, and her mother was one of the top customers in all the major shops in the capital.
He Sishi has always heard that the mayor of Anhe County is a golden child, and today she has a more intuitive experience.
The two went upstairs, and the shopkeeper asked, "County Master, what kind of jewelry do you need?"
Yu Wen said, "I came here today to accompany Miss He."
The shopkeeper understood and asked, "Ms. He, what kind of jewelry do you want to choose?"
He Sishi said, "I want to give my grandmother a birthday gift, and the shopkeeper introduced it to me."
The shopkeeper heard this and realized that this person was not short of money. "This way, please."
He Sishi blinked at Yuwen. She also had a generous mother who brought a large dowry when she got married.
Yuwen naturally knew, oh my, she really liked this future sister-in-law.
The two listened to the shopkeeper's introduction. Well, each model is not cheap.
Yu Wen didn't notice that two more girls came up, Miss An and Miss Jiao. Miss An didn't look happy. The An family had no shortage of money, and she was annoyed by her colleagues' attitude.
Miss Jiao looked impatient. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Miss An's family. She lowered her eyes and didn't look at Miss An's expression. She thought that this was the capital city, the largest jewelry building in the capital. She didn't know who was behind it, but she could afford to open it without anyone bothering her. It was obvious that she had a strong background.
When Miss An saw County Lord An He and heard the shopkeeper personally introduce her, she became even more uneasy, and she realized more deeply the importance of status in the capital.
Yu Wen noticed that her gaze had paused for too long. She turned around and ignored Miss An, then nodded to Miss Jiao.
Yuwen likes Miss Jiao's words, and because of Concubine Chen, Yuwen has a good impression of Miss Jiao.
Miss An, who was ignored, widened her eyes and said sourly, "Sister is so lucky."
Miss Jiao frowned. If she wasn't afraid of rumors that she was greedy and rich and despised her friend, she would have ignored Miss An long ago!
