Chapter 1154 Resources
Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi sent off wave after wave of congratulations, but the smile on his face never faded, he was grinning and laughing foolishly, it was finally able to be made public, and the feeling was different.
Chang Yi felt it particularly clearly. When he first joined the Ministry of Revenue, these people were jealous and looked down on him. After he had made achievements and established himself, his colleagues still openly despised him. He accepted it, because he was not a member of the imperial examination system. But now, there is envy, but no contempt. They are more cautious towards him.
Chang Yi sat on a chair, drinking tea happily. He turned his head and saw Master Gu looking at him in a complicated manner. "Master Gu?"
To be honest, if Liu Feng was not his future son-in-law, he would not have looked for Lord Gu when he received this assignment. If he accepted this assignment, it would be in vain no matter who he chose to follow him.
Gu Zhuomin collected his thoughts and asked, "Your Excellency doesn't seem surprised to hear the news?"
This was not an illusion. He had been observing Zhou Changyi, and Zhou Changyi only looked happy and not surprised.
Chang Yi smiled. There was nothing to hide at this time. "Well, Dad told us a long time ago, so it's not surprising."
Gu Zhuomin envied Liu Feng. Liu Feng's marriage prospects were getting better and better. Thinking of the last incident at his wife's family, Gu Zhuomin pursed his lips. After that incident, Hu rarely came to the house to look for his wife. Even Zhou Changyi's wife rarely came.
Zhang Jinghong learned the news late. He was carrying his son on his back and almost sprained his waist. He put his son down and signaled him to go play by himself. When he turned around to talk to his wife, he saw that she was in a daze.
Zhang Jinghong waved his hand, "What are you thinking about?"
Yao Xin was terrified, "Oh no, oh no, what will happen to Yao Yao? No, what will happen to the Yao family? I will also have the surname Yao after I am adopted!"
Zhang Jinghong hugged the panicked Yao Xin and said, "Zhen Ding, you still have me. You broke off relations with Yao Houfu a long time ago."
Yao Xin didn't get much comfort. She stood up and turned around, "Where is my aunt? The Yao family is finished. What will happen to my aunt?"
She had given up on her father a long time ago, but her mother was still her mother!
When Zhang Jinghong saw his wife's expression, he knew that she would not listen to anything he said. He could only hold his forehead and wait for her to calm down.
Zhang Jinghong was happy. The better Zhou Shuren was, the better his abilities would be. He lived a smooth life because Lord Zhou protected him. He hoped that Lord Zhou would rise higher and higher.
Yao Xin quickly calmed down, "What is this?"
"Calm down?"
Yao Xin nodded, "Calm down, I can't control Yao Yao anymore, I need to think about how to get my aunt out, I don't want my aunt to die with me."
Zhang Jinghong pointed out, "You'd better talk to your aunt first and exchange information."
Yao Xin nodded. She felt sad when she thought of her aunt. After she succeeded the Marquis, she severed ties with the Marquis's Mansion, and her aunt's life became even more difficult. Most of the savings she had saved when she was favored were given to her. Now she turned the yard into a small Buddhist temple and chanted scriptures every day.
It was only because she sent some money from time to time that her aunt didn't suffer so much. She didn't want her aunt to die because of her ruthless father.
As for Yao Hou Mansion, it has nothing to do with her.
Zhou family, Xue Han and Rong Chuan came back from a farm outside the city. Xue Han also brought some vegetables grown on the farm and some wild vegetables picked.
Xue Han and Rong Chuan arrived, and several people from the Zhao family also came to the main courtyard.
Xue Han was happy for her mother's family, smiling, "My eldest brother will also be able to obtain a title in the future, and all the brothers will have their origins."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone was so happy and busy today that no one really thought about this.
It was normal for Xue Han to think about it. She was now the wife of the prince. This was her subconscious cognition. Seeing that no one was saying anything, Xue Han was stunned for a moment, "Did I say something wrong?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "You're right. I didn't think of it for a moment, so I was stunned."
Zhao hooked her fingertips, then quickly released them, subconsciously touched her belly, and then a relieved smile appeared on her face. They, the second branch, would be able to get what they wanted through their own efforts in the future, and would not envy their eldest brother.
Su Xuan was the first to come back to his senses. The heir was the eldest son. Over the years, the eldest brother had always acted like the eldest brother and worked hard to do better. The fourth branch of the family didn't worry about it.
Zhulan saw the performance of her son and daughter-in-law and smiled with satisfaction, thinking that the education she and Zhou Shuren had given them was worth it.
Xue Han hasn't spoken since she started talking. She has confidence in her brothers, but she doesn't want to continue to provoke her sister-in-law and brother, especially when her eldest brother and sister-in-law are not around.
Zhulan said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow to thank my master. Qiuniang and Suxuan will go with me. You two should get ready. Mrs. Song will tell you some taboos."
Zhao's face lit up with joy. "Yes."
Su Xuan calculated in her heart that she had not been to the palace for a long time. Well, not just a long time, but many years. "Yes."
Xue Han continued, "Mom, have you forgotten about me?"
When it comes to taboos, she knows the most, as she is the only one in the family who has entered the palace the most.
Zhulan really forgot about her daughter-in-law. "Then you should have a good talk with your sister-in-law."
This time I enter the palace representing the entire Zhou family, I cannot embarrass myself.
Xue Han knew clearly in her heart, "My daughter is awake."
Zhulan asked some more about Rongchuan's situation in the manor. Rongchuan was very comfortable in the manor. Every morning he walked around the manor with his wife, digging vegetables like ordinary people. He didn't want to go back to Beijing because of this happy life.
However, Rongchuan knew that he could not escape because his identity destined him to bear responsibilities.
Academy, Mingyun was speechless, he really didn't know what to say, the news of the academy spread so quickly.
Jiang Du looked at Mingyun being surrounded with lingering fear, and took up a book to cover his face. His grandfather had become an earl, and he felt dazed. He, the grandson, had borrowed too much from his grandfather.
Ming Teng's side was even more lively. Ran Xun said, "I used to worry about your eldest wife, but now I'm jealous."
Ming Teng glared, "There's nothing to worry about in our first house. We have my eldest brother!"
Ran Xun thought about it and realized that indeed, the Zhou family's eldest branch had nothing to worry about. Now they could get a title. "Let me put it another way. How come all the good things are taken by you, the eldest branch?"
Dong Zhan was the most dazed. He could imagine his grandfather and father's reactions when they found out the news. He was really afraid that his grandfather would be so surprised that he would not be able to cope with it, and then there would be no one to support his father and mother.
Ran Xun saw that his friend was still heartless, so he bumped into his shoulder and said, "Hey, aren't you jealous? Your elder brother is good at studying and will get a title in the future."
Even if the title is downgraded, it is still a title.
Ming Teng curled his lips, "Young Master, I am not jealous."
When Ran Xun saw it, he realized that his young friend was a generous person, and he became very jealous of him.
His grandfather attached great importance to his grandchildren, but there were many grandchildren and the resources in the family were limited, so naturally he would favor the eldest son and grandson. For him, there were not many resources that could be shared with him.
