Chapter 1094: Things Under the Tombstone

Xue Han adjusted her sitting position and said after her waist felt more comfortable: "Grandma is annoyed by Yu's troubles. Ever since Du died and my sister-in-law came back to control the entire Duke's Mansion, Yu has been a little suspicious. She goes to the main courtyard at dawn every day. If she doesn't see me, she will wait. After a long time, Grandma also got angry."

Xue Han took the fruit handed over by Mrs. Song and continued, "Grandpa and grandma discussed and decided to separate the family completely. The Yu couple will move out of the Duke's Mansion. The courtyard was prepared a while ago. My father-in-law prepared it."

Zhulan asked, "What about the child?"

Xue Han munched on the fruit comfortably. This was the fruit that her second brother brought back and put in the ice cellar. "Ah, the child will be raised in the Duke's Mansion, but this time it's my father-in-law who will raise the child. My father-in-law has raised all my nephews."

Speaking of this, Xue Han's tone was a little low. The weather was hot, and grandma was paralyzed in bed and felt uncomfortable. She had to take medicine every day and was in a particularly bad mood. Grandpa was willing but unable to raise the children.

Zhulan sensed her daughter's emotions and said, "Don't worry, you're still pregnant."

Xue Han touched her belly and said, "Mom, I know what's going on."

The Ning family already has a lot of things going on, she won't add to the trouble.

Zhulan saw that the lady liked to eat fruit, "Bring some back from the Duke's Mansion in a few days."

Xue Han shook her head, "This is what my second brother brought back for my parents. I can just buy it outside."

Zhulan, "There are plenty at home, enough for your father and I to eat."

Fruits are extremely expensive now, especially foreign fruits. Alas, there have been disasters everywhere this year. Grain production has decreased, not to mention fruit. The price of the tea I bought a few days ago has increased by 20%.

Xue Han ate the fruit and the heat in her stomach dissipated a little. "Mom, sometimes I think, if we were still in Zhoujia Village, we would have eaten enough in this disaster year, let alone fruit."

Zhulan also thought about it, so it was right to struggle in ancient times. Even if a disaster came, it would have no effect on the Zhou family. The family was wealthy, and it would be okay even if they didn't make any money for a year. Look at it now, the weather is hot and there is ice, but they can still eat fine grains and various fruits.

Xue Han looked at the sky and said, "The days are getting longer now. It's still so hot at this hour."

"Yes, your sister-in-law grows vegetables in the yard, and she covers them with straw curtains every day to keep out the sun."

Xue Han narrowed her eyes and said, "My sister-in-law grows vegetables, so I must pick some when I leave. It's rare to get fresh vegetables."

Zhulan nodded, "Okay."

The family has two wells and is willing to use water to grow vegetables. They also built a greenhouse, and the vegetables grown are juicy and fresh. It is difficult to find large and juicy vegetables in the market now. The big family now eats vegetables grown on the farm, but the daily demand is so large that the farm cannot meet the supply.

The vegetables grown in your own yard are not eaten every day.

Inside the palace, the emperor looked at the memorial sent by the Ministry of Rites, or more precisely, the memorial written by Zhou Changyi, with an indescribable expression, "If the Ministry of Rites had not reviewed it, I would not have read it."

The prince was so curious, "Father, what did the letter from the Ministry of Rites say?"

The emperor handed it to the prince, "Take a look at it."

The prince took it and his eyes widened. This was the ugliest handwriting he had seen in so many years. Of course not all officials had good handwriting, but they were all selected through imperial examinations, so their handwriting was still neat. If the handwriting was really bad, in order to make a good impression on the emperor, the emperor would ask his staff to write it with a large brush.

Therefore, any words on the folded paper you submit are acceptable.

The prince read on patiently, seeing that it was all plain language, "I think your idea is very good and far-sighted."

The emperor nodded, "Well, Zhou Shuren's second son has some strategies, and his ideas are consistent with yours."

The prince smiled. Zhou Changyi was defending, while he was defending and practicing at the same time. "Well, it's already very good."

The emperor smiled and said, "This Zhou Changyi is quite interesting."

The prince nodded, "Yes."

The next day, Zhou Shuren went to the morning court and found that Prince Liang was not there. As for what happened in the palace yesterday, it had not spread in the capital, so Zhou Shuren stretched his neck.

When I heard a cough, I immediately lowered my head.

Xiao Qing was so worried that she turned around and saw Zhou Shuren's curious look. This guy still liked to watch the excitement.

The prince presided over the morning court. After the court ended, Zhou Shuren stayed behind, along with other officials including the Minister of Rites, and Wang Ju was also present.

The prince mentioned the memorial from the Ministry of Rites, "This is a memorial written by Zhou Changyi. The emperor and I have reviewed it and approved it. The Ministry of Rites will select officials to be sent to various countries, and they will set off in half a month."

The Minister of Rites was delighted. The Ministry of Rites was not as busy as it is now. This mission brought great honor to the Ministry of Rites. Now he has another task. "I accept your order."

Wang Ju's eyes were filled with joy. This was his responsibility and it was a credit.

The emperor came out and changed into casual clothes. Zhou Shuren and others did not dare to look up. Zhou Shuren glanced at the jade pendant the emperor was wearing, but the emperor walked very fast, so he could only see the white color and could not make out the pattern clearly.

The prince gave some instructions and Zhou Shuren and others left.

Wang Ju and Zhou Shuren walked together, saying sourly, "Having many sons is good."

If one fails, there will be another one. If you don't think about him, you will only have two sons in total.

Zhou Shuren, "Having many sons also brings its own worries. Alas, having many sons means having many grandchildren. The betrothal gifts for grandsons and dowries for granddaughters are really sweet worries."

Wang Ju, ".How come I heard the meaning of showing off."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Is it obvious?"

The Minister of Rites was eavesdropping on the conversation, and now, "!!!"

Wang Ju smiled with a fake smile, "Sometimes, I really want to beat you up."

Zhou Shuren shook his official sleeves and said in a very mean tone, "You dare not."

Minister of Rites, "."

The tone is so vulgar, if he were Wang Ju, he would definitely take action!

Wang Ju snorted, "You are just relying on the friendship between our two families."

"No, you wouldn't dare to hit me even though our two families have no relationship. Believe it or not, if you dare to touch me, Master Wang will definitely give you a beating."

Wang Ju, "."

He regretted talking to Zhou Shuren, as this man had always been a thorn in his heart.

The Minister of Rites quickened his pace. Lord Zhou really had many faces. It was no surprise that he would cry at the palace gate and speak in such a mean tone.

In Zhoujia Village, the sky has cleared up. The mountain did not collapse again last night. Changzhi, his housekeeper and servant have already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The previous road up the mountain collapsed, and now we have to find a new way up the mountain.

The servant in front was cutting grass with a sickle to clear a path, while Changzhi and Steward Ding slowly followed up the mountain.

This section of road was not easy to walk on. It had just rained and the muddy road was very slippery. Chang Zhi almost slipped several times.

Steward Ding was also very shabby, his clothes were covered with mud, and he was still holding on to the Fourth Master, "We're almost there."

Chang Zhi groaned. His shoes were soaked and he felt very uncomfortable. He insisted on reaching the destination. Chang Zhi took a deep breath. The heavy rain gathered water from the empty mountains and washed out a ditch here. A lot of the newly added soil was washed away.

Changzhi walked quickly to the grave of his grandpa and grandma, his eyes fixed on the bottom of his grandpa's tombstone.

Butler Ding also saw it and was very surprised, "Fourth Master, there must be something buried under the tombstone."
