Chapter 1027 Errand
Zhang Yang smiled on his face, but cursed in his heart. He was really cautious. It was difficult to set a trap for Zhou Shuren. "Just now I heard the emperor laughing in the palace. I haven't heard it for a long time. As a son, I always want to make the emperor happy. So I want to ask you for advice. Please don't hide anything."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips in his heart, bah, you are just here to get information, "Your Highness really wants to know?"
"yes."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "It's actually very simple. Take me as an example. I have the ability to help the emperor solve his problems. I am honest and loyal to him. I have no evil intentions. I also work hard for the country. As long as I can do what I do, the emperor will like me and be happy."
The smile on Zhang Yang's face froze completely. He felt that Zhou Shuren was hinting at something, and that he was overthinking it. He also felt that Zhou Shuren was shameless. This was the first time he had seen someone praise himself like this. "Haha."
Zhou Shuren, "Your Highness, I have told you everything I can."
Zhang Yang wanted to ask more questions but couldn't say anything. He laughed and said, "Your Excellency must be very busy. I will take my time. Please go first."
Zhou Shuren was reluctant to walk fast, "My legs are not very good, I like to walk slowly."
Zhang Yang sneered in his heart. Don't think he hasn't seen Zhou Shuren running away. Why didn't he say that his legs were not good at that time? Zhou Shuren was the most hypocritical and cunning.
The two of them walked out of the palace at a leisurely pace. After leaving the palace gate, Zhou Shuren suddenly approached Zhang Yang and said, "Your Highness, don't be discouraged. You will have a child sooner or later. I am optimistic about you."
Zhang Yang stepped on the steps to get on the carriage, but he missed the step. If it weren't for the guards behind him, he would have almost fallen to the ground. He glared at Zhou Shuren, but Zhou Shuren had already got on the carriage and left.
Zhang Yang angrily pushed away the guards. Children, children, and more children.
The palace listened in silence as Eunuch Liu repeated what Zhang Yang and Zhou Shuren had said, "They are getting thicker and thicker as they get older, and they are becoming more and more shameless."
The self-praise is not subtle at all!
Eunuch Liu wanted to laugh. He had met many ministers, but none of them was like Lord Zhou. "Lord Zhou is also a true person."
The emperor sneered, "He is a cunning and fickle old fox."
Eunuch Liu thought about putting the fox's face on Lord Zhou's face and felt that they were a good match. He was indeed an old fox, and an old fox with a poisonous mouth.
At night, at Zhou's house, Zhou Shuren left Changyi behind, "The emperor wants to sell the first batch of ships built. Ships are better than merchant ships. I guess you will be leading an envoy in the next few days. During these days, I will ask Deng Xiucai to check the price of merchant ships so that you can have an idea."
Chang Yi's heart soared, "Dad, if my son can complete the task and sell it for a high price, does this count as an achievement?"
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Of course it counts."
Chang Yi was worried again, "Dad, can my son get the job this time?"
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart. Chang Yi still lacked confidence. Even if he became an official, he had to slowly build up his confidence. "Have you forgotten Bahu? You forgot that you have been here for a year. These are the confidences that you must have."
Chang Yi grinned, full of confidence this time, "My son has dealt with many officials in this country. Currently, they are divided into two factions. Ba Hu's faction is slightly weaker. The old emperor is also about to abdicate, and the struggle is fierce now."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said, "There is so much room for maneuver."
Chang Yi also thought so. He inquired about these things at first just to make himself develop better. Now the information he had was very important, especially for some corrupt officials. Ha, no matter how much money they took from him, they would have to tell him this time. He had to figure out how to sell it for a high price. Merit, merit. Dad said that the highest rank he would reach in his lifetime would not exceed the fifth rank. He believed in his father's judgment, but he wanted to be promoted faster.
Zhou Shuren waited for Changyi to leave before chatting with his wife over tea. "Is everything going well?"
"It went very smoothly. It went very smoothly."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, don't mess with women. Zhulan used the concubine to plant the seeds of an affair. Once Zhang Yang's concubine gets pregnant, several princes will keep a close eye on her. Regardless of whether Zhang Yang's concubine is really pregnant or not, they will be more or less influenced and think in this direction.
In order to avoid embarrassing the Emperor's family, she would secretly make trouble for Zhang Yang. If it was arranged by Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang would just endure it, but if it was not arranged by Zhang Yang, then it would be a big deal. After listening to it for a long time, Zhang Yang would doubt himself and think that the child must have stayed. Who made Zhang Yang lack a child? He would be suspicious of the people around him.
Zhou Shuren asked, "Do you really think that Zhang Yang would resort to this trick if he has a difficult offspring?"
Zhu Lan, "I think it's not just the difficulty of having an offspring. If it really wasn't affected, there wouldn't have been anything like what happened at the end of last year. And Rong Chuan said that the Fifth Prince's mansion was constantly running out of soups and medicines. These were all found out by the Ning family. I think there's something wrong with the doctor around Zhang Yang."
Rongchuan's information revealed that Zhang Yang really needed a child and had lost his temper several times because of the child. The Fifth Prince's Mansion was also a laughing stock because of the concubine's vomiting due to stomach discomfort. Who knows if he will make a stupid move if he is pushed into a corner.
Zhu Lan continued, "Today, the Qiao family has planted suspicions about Zhang Yang's offspring. Leaving Zhang Yang is also a big blow to him."
By the way, the reading app I’ve been using recently, [Source Changer APP], has many sources, a complete range of books, and is updated quickly!
It's a pity that the girl has no future even if she enters Zhang Yang's backyard. Once the family is threatened, the girl will be abandoned.
Zhou Shuren came to his daughter-in-law's side and massaged her shoulders attentively, "Thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."
Zhulan pulled Zhou Shuren's beard, "Don't be nervous, you didn't provoke me."
Zhou Shuren hissed, it hurt, he didn't dare to provoke her even if he wanted to, "I'm not nervous."
"Then why are you so diligent?"
Zhou Shuren rubbed his chin, "It's something I should have done, but now I'm asking my wife to do it. It's also very tiring to use her brain."
He really couldn't do anything and was very depressed. In fact, he really wanted to do it himself.
Zhulan really didn't feel that tired. She just needed to set up an introduction and just watch the rest.
The next day, at the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren heard the news that Jianyan had found out and smiled, "I know."
Yao Wenqi was indeed sick, and he was not pretending.
Zhang Jinghong came in and looked at Master Zhou in confusion, "Master, is there any good news?"
Zhou Shuren, "Well, Liu Feng's illness has been cured, so this time the entrance exam will not be affected."
This is what I heard from my daughter-in-law yesterday. Zhao was worried about Liu Feng and sent someone to the Hu family to inquire yesterday afternoon.
Zhang Jinghong knew Gu Liufeng, and many people were paying attention to him. His results in the provincial examination were not ideal, and many people in the Ministry of Revenue had said behind Mr. Zhou's back that the future son-in-law for Mr. Zhou's eldest grandson was not good enough. "It turns out that Mr. Gu was ill."
Zhou Shuren knew about the talk behind the scenes, but he didn't care. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to Gu Liufeng. First of all, he believed in this child. Secondly, he really didn't have the energy to pay attention to him. His own children were enough for him to worry about.
Zhang Jinghong was not ready to tell anyone the news. He waited until the college entrance examination was over to see how some people would react.
He knew that many people were jealous of Hu Xia, and those who criticized Gu Liufeng were just venting their jealousy. They wished that Gu Liufeng would disappoint Lord Zhou and that this marriage would fall through.
Yao Zheyu stood outside the house of Yao Hou Mansion, and the housekeeper stopped him. "The Marquis is seriously ill and I am afraid that he will infect the prince. Please go back."
Yao Zheyu's eyes were filled with sarcasm. He was not afraid of infecting him, but was simply afraid of him. He was afraid that he would take action. "In that case, I will go back first."
Yao Zheyu walked away and heard the sound of a door closing. He looked back. His wife was in charge of the entire mansion, but she had no say in the main courtyard. The housekeeper was in charge of everything his father ate and used. This was to guard against him. Thinking of the person who had followed him a few days ago, Yao Zheyu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the palace. He didn't want to live in darkness all his life. When he dug it out, it would be his bargaining chip.
