Chapter 1006: Ruthless
Zhou Shuren didn't want to see Wang Ju very much. The reason was simple: this person had to get out. Not only did she hang around in front of him every day, but she also kept complaining about the Ministry of Revenue, saying that they needed money to build a new port next year and that they hoped next year would be a year of good weather and good harvest!
Zhou Shuren wanted to ask Wang Ju to leave, but after thinking for a while he said, "Do you know who the new Minister of Rites is?"
Wang Ju shook her head, "I really don't know. My father has thought of several possibilities, but the emperor hasn't revealed any information, so it's hard to guess."
Zhou Shuren was also guessing, but he was sure that they must be the emperor's people. After the six ministries were cleaned up, things became much cleaner, and the imperial power became more pure. He couldn't get any information from them, so he said, "You can leave now."
Wang Ju, "...are you so unwilling to see me?"
"Um."
Wang Ju knew that Zhou Shuren would throw it away after using it. Pah, "I really sympathize with Lei."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "After a year, he will be a doctor. He will be very happy and will definitely work harder than someone else."
Wang Ju glared. He used to try his best to stay up late at night. "I learned it from you."
It’s definitely time to leave now!
Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said, "Our rest and holiday system is pretty good. If it were in the Han Dynasty, high-ranking ministers would have to live in the government office."
Zhou Shuren is good at history. He also has a good opinion on the vacation system for ancient officials in the Tang Dynasty, but his favorite is the Song Dynasty, where the vacation system was extremely exaggerated.
Wang Ju rolled her eyes, "By the way, Hu Xia is also going to the Ministry of Rites?"
"Um."
Wang Ju thought about the Ministry of Rites. There were quite a few people related to Zhou Shuren, including Wu Ming, Hu Xia, and Gu Zhuomin. Yes, he should be included. However, he knew that Wu Ming would not stay in the Ministry of Rites for long. Hu Xia would probably retire. It would be difficult for Gu Zhuomin to move up unless someone pulled him up. But judging from Zhou Shuren's attitude, he would at most give him some care but would not help.
After leaving the government office, Zhou Shuren went home, and the family sat together to eat. Zhulan thought that the family was finally reunited. When Changyi came home, Zhulan sent a letter to the two girls, and then they all came.
This time it was a real reunion for the Zhou family, but Zhao's eyes were swollen from crying for who knows how long.
Xue Han came after she had arranged the Marquis' Mansion, so she came late and her second brother had already rested. She saw her second brother only after dinner and felt distressed, "Second brother, you should eat more."
Chang Yi took out a box from his arms, "I could have been there to marry you, but I encountered a storm and had to stay on the shore for a few days. This is a wedding gift for you. I know you are in need of something good, and this is also my second brother's intention."
Today everyone is sitting at a big table, which is only used during the Chinese New Year. It is a specially made table, and all the people sitting there are adults, ahem, the only child is Changzhong.
Xue Han took it and opened it. The box was not big, but it contained two large gems. "Second brother, this is too precious."
Chang Yi, "It's not expensive, take it."
Xue Han looked at her mother and took it only after she saw her nod. "Thank you, second brother."
Zhulan was curious, as these things were not common. These were only the ones given to Xuehan, and there were also some brought back for her. There were quite a few gems, some gold ornaments, and a lot of medicinal herbs. What Changyi brought back were all light and expensive.
Zhou Shuren said, "Changyi has worked hard this year. Daddy wants to give you a toast."
Chang Yi stood up quickly, "Dad, I don't like it. I like it very much."
Zhou Shuren smiled and drank the wine in his glass.
The meal was lively. Changyi talked a lot about foreign customs and experiences. After the meal, Zhou Shuren took Changyi to the study.
Each of the families returned. The eldest wife, Zhou Lao, looked at her beaming daughter-in-law and asked in confusion, "Are there gems and gold everywhere in foreign countries?"
Li played with the gem in his hand, the quality was really good, "Are you stupid? If you really go abroad to pick up all the gems and gold, I think Changyi will be in trouble."
Boss Zhou has always trusted his wife's intuition, "It looks like something is really wrong."
In the third room, Dong and Chang Lian were also chatting. Chang Lian sighed, "This man still needs to go out and try it himself. However, not everyone can go and try it. Second brother is a capable and courageous man."
Mrs. Dong, "Isn't the gift from my second brother too expensive?"
Chang Lian smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Second brother knows what's going on."
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Dong put them away and said in a light tone, "Save these for our daughter."
I have two daughters now, so the pressure of dowry is quite great.
In the fourth room, Su Xuan said, "You said that the second brother was just buying land. Where did he get so many gems? Did he find them on the mountain?"
Chang Zhi, "......You really dare to think so. Why don't you tell us that you have found a gold mine? Do you think that if you really found it, your second brother will be able to come back alive?"
Su Xuan was just curious. When she heard her son calling her sister louder and louder, Su Xuan was helpless. "Why doesn't our Yuwen want to move?"
If she hadn't consulted several imperial doctors and they said there was nothing wrong, she would have thought she was sick.
Changzhi didn't think it was a bad thing. "It's good to have one active and one quiet. If both of them were like your son, you would cry."
Su Xuan was silent. Her son was really naughty, even naughtier than Ming Teng. "Who does this child look like?"
Chang Zhi answered with his eyes. Anyway, she was not like him. The lady's personality was like his, who liked quietness.
Su Xuan, "......."
Xuemei went home holding the box, and put it down quickly when she got home, "The things my second brother gave me are really hot."
Jiang Shengcai is very talented. "I will definitely pass the entrance exam to become a university student next year."
Xuemei was panicked. There was no stupid person in the Zhou family. Everything about her second brother seemed wrong.
Xue Han calmly put it away, took a shower and waited for Rongchuan. Rongchuan came back and said, "I think my second brother must have killed someone."
The teacup in Xue Han's hand fell to the ground. "What did you say?"
"Everyone in the Ning family has been to the battlefield. Don't be fooled by how kind our father is to you. He never speaks loudly to you. When we get up early in the spring to practice martial arts, you will understand that our father has been through the rain of swords and can already conceal his murderous aura, but my second brother can't do that."
He had also killed assassins, but he didn't have the same feeling as his second brother. His second brother must have killed a lot of people.
Xue Han felt that she needed to slow down for a moment, "Did my second brother steal the things he gave me?"
Rongchuan, "I don't think so. Our father has taught us well. He probably won't take the initiative to snatch the second brother."
In the main courtyard, Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back, "What happened in Changyi this year?"
Zhou Shuren sat down and said, "This kid has experienced life and death several times a year. He is also a brave and daring man. The first time he was robbed, he fought hard and killed many people in several clashes. The last time he joined forces with others to kill the robbers. The gems brought back were distributed after the victory. He didn't take much, just a small part."
Zhulan was stunned for a while. Zhou Shuren's few words were simple, but every word was murderous. He clashed with the locals and fought for his own way. No wonder Zhao cried so hard. She must have known that "Changyi is a ruthless person."
Zhou Shuren pointed to his waist and said, "I saw the injuries on his body. There are scars on his waist and back."
This second son is indeed a ruthless person. He originally wanted to run the business slowly so that the Zhou family would have more escape routes and places to take refuge in case of trouble. However, Chang Yi completed the task beyond his imagination. Although he still had to run the business slowly, he had put together the framework.
