Chapter 1810: Peaceful

When Lord Qi saw this, he thought that there was something going on. Thinking of his arrogant son-in-law, he curled his lips and said to Gu Sheng, "Come to our house some other day."

Gu Sheng said hurriedly: "I will definitely come to visit you some other day."

After chatting for a while, I heard some noise outside and gestured to open the door of the private room. As expected, the examiners who were taking the exam were talking loudly again. They were talking about people's livelihood, from pharmaceutical factories to grain seeds, and finally they even mentioned the fertile land obtained from reclaiming wasteland.

Lord Qi said: "It's really good to be young. It's full of energy and vitality."

Changzhi nodded, "Indeed."

After sitting for a while, Chang Zhi left. He stopped walking downstairs, and Liu Mingsheng stood up suddenly. "It's you."

Chang Zhi coughed and asked, "Are you going to Beijing to take the exam?"

He said he seemed to have forgotten something, but remembered it when he saw Liu Mingsheng. Liu Mingsheng still owed him the Four Books that he had to copy from memory, but he had completely forgotten about going to get them when he returned to Beijing.

Liu Mingsheng calmed down after being excited. In his impression, Mr. Zhou was always dressed in cloth. Even if he didn't understand what he was wearing now, he knew that not everyone could afford it.

Lord Qi raised an eyebrow, "Do you know him?"

Chang Zhi coughed and said, "I left Beijing for a visit before becoming the chief examiner of Chengchuan Prefecture. I met this person during the visit."

Changzhi said to Liu Mingsheng, "I am very happy to see you in the capital. You must have come to the capital for the Spring Examination. Can you tell me the ranking of the Autumn Examination?"

Liu Mingsheng was dazed. He kept repeating the words "Chief Examiner of Sichuan Province" in his mind. So how could he be a scholar who was traveling to study? His heart was beating wildly and he was so scared that he said, "Sir, I have lived up to your expectations and won the third place."

Chang Zhi raised his eyebrows. This was somewhat beyond his expectations. "Not bad, a lot of accumulation will lead to a lot of success."

Liu Mingsheng couldn't help but ask, "Are you really Mr. Zhou, the chief examiner of Chuanzhou?"

Lord Qi laughed, "Yes, he is Lord Zhou who is also known as King Yan."

Chang Zhi cleared his throat and said to Liu Mingsheng when he saw many people looking at him, "I broke my promise. I'll give the set of four books to your child."

Before Liu Mingsheng could speak, Changzhi and his group had already left.

After leaving the teahouse, Lord Qi asked, "Why don't you ask him a few more questions so that we can get in touch in the future?"

Chang Zhi shook his head, "I didn't intend to recruit students. It was my chance to meet him when I visited him. This is good enough."

His excessive attention may not be a good thing for Liu Mingsheng.

Lord Qi stroked his beard and said, "I'm leaving first."

Changzhi got on the carriage and motioned for Gu Sheng to get on. He said to Gu Sheng, "In the future, Master Qi will guide you. You should learn more from him."

Gu Sheng understood that even though he was on good terms with his future prince consort, there were some circles he wanted to enter that he still couldn't. Today, Lord Zhou gave him the opportunity.

Changzhi came back, but he didn't go back to the courtyard, but went to the main courtyard. On the way back, he bought some snacks. "Mom, I bought your favorite snacks." Zhulan was looking at the books that Mingrui and Minghui were sorting, rubbing her eyes tiredly, "Did you take a detour to buy them?"

Changzhi smiled and said, "There's a carriage not far away."

Zhulan washed her hands and picked up the snack with a fork, "I was just about to eat it and you bought it back."

"If you like it, I'll buy you more tomorrow."

"It's okay to eat it every few days, but if you eat too much you'll feel sick."

Changzhi signaled the maids to go downstairs and personally poured juice for his mother, "Drink some juice to relieve your greasy feeling."

Zhulan didn't eat much. She drank the juice and stopped eating. "It's good that you're back. Help Mingrui and the others look at this book. Their conclusions are not right no matter how they summarize it."

She had a headache reading so many records and felt dizzy.

Changzhi took the book. This book was about astronomy. As a nerd who liked to read all kinds of books, Changzhi smiled after reading it and said, "I'll explain it to them later."

"That would be great."

Changzhi sat with her for a while before taking the book and leaving. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, her grandson thought she could do anything!

The next day, Zhou Shuren brought a thick book into the palace. When Eunuch Zhang saw it, he quickly reached out and said, "My Lord, I will help you get it."

Zhou Shuren dodged and said, "I'll just take these things. You must be tired standing all day."

Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "This old slave will also take a rest."

While Zhou Shuren was talking, he walked into the main hall and saw the Minister of Personnel was also there. He then looked at the booklet in the emperor's hand and saw that the assessment had begun for this year and the Minister of Personnel had submitted the list to the emperor in advance.

Zhou Shuren was surprised that the Minister of Personnel brought officials he was not familiar with today.

When the emperor saw Zhou Shuren, he gestured to sit down and wait for a while.

Zhou Shuren put down the book in his hand, the prince sat over and picked up the book he brought in.

This booklet records the furniture and antiques that were not disposed of during the confiscation of property, as well as the fields, shops, houses, etc. that were seized during the confiscation of property. These are the easiest to deal with, as no matter how many are seized, there will always be people who will buy them. The emperor even bought several houses and farms!

Jewelry is easy to process and refurbish and sell to foreign merchants. There are too many antique paintings and calligraphy, so it takes time to process each batch. Furniture and accessories are difficult to process. If they are too expensive, no one will want them, so people are reluctant to sell them at a low price!

After waiting for a while, the Minister of Personnel led his people away. The emperor looked at the prince, and the prince said with heartache: "Father, please take a look."

The emperor took one look and asked, "Why are there so many pieces of furniture piled up?"

Zhou Shuren: "Yeah."

In the eyes of the emperor, this is all money. "Refurbish it and then sell it?"

Zhou Shuren: "It's not easy to sell either."

Many of them are dowry furniture, all of which are custom-made.

The emperor read it through with a painful look in his heart and said, "If it doesn't work, just sell it at a low price."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yeah."

The emperor took the list sent by the Ministry of Personnel. Zhou Shuren had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that the emperor had marked Jiao Han. The emperor noticed and asked, "Do you know him?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "I don't know him."

The Emperor said, "I have heard Prince Qi mention it several times. His daughter has caught the eye of Concubine Chen. Look at the names on this list. They are all capable."

Zhou Shuren knew who it was, "I have also heard from you about the girl from the Jiao family."

The emperor pointed to the storybook newspaper and said, "I have read the storybook written by this girl and it is indeed good."

Zhou Shuren didn't think that the emperor would pay attention to a little girl for no reason, "My wife likes to watch it too."

The emperor put down the list and said, "I trust Concubine Chen's judgment of people."

Zhou Shuren had a guess in his mind. The emperor did it for the third prince. He glanced at the crown prince and saw that the third prince had a job. The emperor was pleased and wanted to use the marriage to tell the third prince to do his job obediently.

He thought that the Third Prince's wife would not be of high birth, but the result was still beyond his expectations. He also thought that his wife said that Miss Jiao was good, and the Emperor must have considered her character, etc., and with the extra points given by Concubine Chen, it was not surprising that he really decided on Miss Jiao.

The prince never interferes in the marriage of his half-brother, but he must inquire about the marriage of his biological brother. It is not to suppress his biological brother, but because he hopes that his brother can have someone to accompany him. His uncle lives a simple and happy life, and he hopes that his brother can live the same life.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren went home and told Zhulan about his guess. Zhulan was also quite surprised, "Rongchuan said that the third prince has a good personality."

Zhou Shuren, "The Third Prince can't fool Rongchuan."

This also proves that the Third Prince is a smart person. He is content with his wife's humble background. He believes that she can live a good life in the future if she waits quietly for the title of King.
