Chapter 1137 I dare not

Yao Yao frowned, not believing that her father-in-law had made friends after just a few outings. She was a little impatient, "Dad, our family is no longer a merchant family. My husband has cut off all the ties that should have been cut off. Why are you in contact with them again?"

Mr. Shi waved his hands and said, "No, no, I haven't contacted him. I just made new friends."

Yao Yao, "Who is it?"

Mr. Shi said, "I met him the last time I went out. We went to the theater together. He was an envoy from a foreign country. He said he had resigned from his post, but he liked the capital so he stayed and even bought a house in the south city."

Yao Yao knew that her father-in-law had been to the theater to listen to operas, so as long as it wasn't a merchant he had dated before, it would be fine. "I will tell my husband."

Mr. Shi nodded. He came today just to confess because he wanted to invite someone to his house.

Many people came to the Zhou family to congratulate them. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Shuren was trusted by the emperor and the prince. With so many people coming, Yu Yin's presence would not be noticeable.

Yu Yin waved to Mr. Zhou and said, "I have something to tell your mother."

It was not easy for him to contact Shu Ren directly, so he could only talk to Yang.

Boss Zhou signaled the servant to take my great-uncle over, and then continued to entertain the guests.

Zhulan met Yuyun and asked, "Fourth Uncle, what can I do for you?"

Yuyun glanced at the maids and servants in the room. Zhulan signaled them to go out. When there were no outsiders in the room, Yuyun said, "I made a friend at the theater a few days ago."

Zhulan doesn't think making friends is worth talking about, "Is there something wrong with this person?"

Yu Yun got to know Yang better. Ever since he knew Zhou Shuren was Liu Niang's son, he had inquired about her. Zhou Shuren loved his wife, which was a hot topic in the capital. He noticed more that Yang was a virtuous wife, and a very smart one at that.

Yu Yun praised Yang's reaction and didn't beat around the bush, "Well, there are some problems. I met her once in a lantern shop a few years ago. I didn't expect to run into her in the theater, so I deliberately started a conversation. We both like watching theaters, so we became friends."

Zhulan thought to herself, she must have asked around, "Who is this person from the capital?"

Yu Yin said, "Master Shi is Shi Qing, who has some connection with your family. He is Shi Qing's father."

Zhulan sat up straight, "Fourth Uncle, who do you think Shi Qing's father looks like?"

This person has met members of the Rong family and the Zhang family. If he were alive, he would be a living tool for identifying people!

Yu Yin was a little unsure, "This man's face has changed a lot as he got older. I only remember the Emperor's uncle's appearance when he was young. What I remember most clearly is his eyes. The Emperor's uncle's eyes are like the old lady's."

Zhulan was shocked and said, "The child my mother saved had a birthmark."

Yu Yun knew that the Emperor had told him, "I am also a little unsure. I have inquired about it. The Shi family has been engaged in business for generations. It is a family of merchants and merchants. So I did not tell the Emperor. I just wanted to inquire about it myself first. Now I tell you this because I want to find out more about the Shi family. What else do you know?"

Zhu Lan was stunned for a moment, and after a while she said, "What Fourth Uncle asked is true. The Shi family has been engaged in business for generations. I remember Shi Qing said that Shi Qing looks like his mother. Shi Qing rarely mentioned other things, but I think that Shi Qing's father is still alive, and there should be someone from the older generation of the Shi family still alive. We will know if we check carefully."

Yu Yun was disappointed. He thought the Zhou family knew more. "Then you can ask the Zhou family to investigate. The Zhou family is in Pingzhou, and my people don't know much about Pingzhou."

Zhulan, "Okay, I'll write back."

We can also ask the Zhao family to check. As for Pingzhou, there is nothing that the Zhao family cannot find out.

Zhulan was still distracted after Yuyun left. She thought it was too much of a coincidence and it couldn't be possible. Just like her fourth uncle said, the Shi family was a merchant family. Didn't they entrust the child to an ordinary family back then?

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back and said, "Do you want to tell the emperor? The emperor will investigate faster."

Zhou Shuren was stunned, "Is there such a twist?"

Zhu Lan said unhappily, "Now is not the time to be surprised. Do you want to tell the Emperor?"

Zhou Shuren, "I think Fourth Uncle didn't mean to say it. He has his reasons. The Rong family is arrogant in nature. I don't know how much trouble Fourth Uncle has in his heart. Let him investigate however he wants. Anyway, he won't keep it a secret from the Emperor for long."

After all, because the Shi family was originally a merchant family, and because of Shi Qing's wife's identity, the old man could not stand it. Even if she was an ordinary citizen, the old man would accept her well. This investigation was also a process for the old man to change his mind.

Zhu Lan whispered: "If the guess is true, my God, the world will be turned upside down. Shi Qing's wife is the legitimate daughter of the Yao family!"

And the child has the blood of two families, which makes it even more exciting.

Zhou Shuren, "If I remember correctly, Shi Qing is having trouble having children because Zhang Yang was poisoned?"

Bamboo orchid, "."

She hoped that her fourth uncle was overthinking it, otherwise, haha, there would be trouble later.

Shi Family, Shi Qing also knew that his father had made a new friend, and his wife had already sent someone to inquire about this envoy, "He actually has contact with Lord Zhou's family?"

Yao Yao said, "Well, Mr. Zhou's eldest son sent a gift to celebrate Qiao Qian's marriage, and he also went to Zhou's house to congratulate him today."

Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it should be fine."

Yao Yao thought so too. Her husband had said that her father-in-law was not allowed to have any contact with his former business friends. Knowing that the envoy had contact with Lord Zhou's family, she felt relieved. "Yes, my father wanted to invite someone to our house."

Shi Qing shook his head, "Let them communicate more in the theater, don't rush to invite people."

"Um."

The next day, in the palace, the emperor signaled the prince to continue handling the matter, and then said to Zhou Shuren, who was about to leave the palace with a group of ministers, "Accompany me to walk in the garden."

Several university scholars looked at Zhou Shuren with envy, and University Scholar Ding's jealousy became real.

Zhou Shuren can handle it, and not being envied is a mediocre talent, "Yes."

The prince looked at his father and pursed his lips.

When they arrived at the garden, the emperor signaled that Eunuch Liu and the others did not need to follow him, and took Zhou Shuren to the pavilion. "The prince wants you to teach Xu Hao, do you understand?"

Zhou Shuren, "."

It's clear, but the emperor doesn't play by the rules and is too direct.

The emperor ignored Zhou Shuren's expression and continued, "And I know that you, a cunning old man, don't want to do it. You are afraid."

Zhou Shuren's expression, which had never collapsed, finally collapsed. "Your Majesty, I dare not."

My heart is pounding. I think the Emperor wants to scare him to death!

The emperor snorted in his heart, and he was still afraid. After the prince mentioned it several times, he knew that the old fox felt it, but he continued to play dumb. He didn't think much about it at first, but later he started to think about the old fox's behavior and knew what the old fox was afraid of.

The emperor was not angry. "I have to say, you think very far ahead."

Zhou Shuren trembled, "No, the emperor can't see through it."

His little thoughts were so hidden that the emperor made them all clear in just a few words.

The emperor was silent. It was because of this matter that he also thought about it according to Zhou Shuren's concerns. Once he thought about it, he couldn't help but think too much. He thought he didn't need to worry about the throne. His grandson was still young and he didn't need to worry about it. But when he thought about it according to Zhou Shuren's concerns, he scared himself.

The emperor was in a complicated mood, so he was not really angry with Zhou Shuren. "You also reminded me."

The prince is really young. What if he reigns for thirty or forty years? The prince values ​​his eldest grandson very much. He knows his sons well. When the prince is enthroned, he will definitely make his eldest grandson the prince. In the future, the prince will have more sons. I can't think about it anymore, but I can't help but think about it.

Zhou Shuren's knees hurt from kneeling, but he still had to kneel!
