Chapter 1203 Want to Escape

Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and replied, "Soon."

Now Yao Wenqi is not only trapped by the emperor, but the Zhang family has not let him go either. Yao Wenqi still has a lot of things in his hands, and the emperor has been dragging his feet and has not caught them. The Zhang family knew that Yao Wenqi had killed his clansmen, but they still endured it just to keep him as a pawn under Yao Wenqi's control.

Yao Wenqi knew that the emperor would not let him go, and the Zhang family would also kill him, so what Yao Wenqi wanted most was to escape.

Zhou Shuren knew all this because the emperor revealed it to him, because his mother was from the Rong family and the emperor really trusted him.

Yuyun has waited for so many years, so he wants to know the progress now. "Okay, I'll go back then."

Zhou Shuren hummed, "Fourth uncle should also go to bed early."

Yuyun stood up and paused, "By the way, I plan to take care of Changli for a while. He will receive a title in the future. You take care of it and I will teach him."

Zhou Shuren, "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Uncle."

"It's not hard."

He also found something to do for himself. During the day, he had his teacher to teach him, so he had nothing to do.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. The Ministry of Rites has been incredibly efficient these days and has already started preparing to attract investment. This cake is so delicious that everyone wants to have a piece of it.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was surprised that Chang Yi would come to see him, and Qiu Yan walked out with interest.

Zhou Shuren asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

His son would not come to the Ministry of Revenue to find him if he had nothing to do. He frowned. The Ministry of Rites needed money again?

Chang Yi came here with a nervous heart, "Dad, the Ministry of Rites is going to start recruiting investors."

"Ah, I know, what's wrong?"

Chang Yi said, "We have been fighting over who will be in charge these days, and the candidate has just been decided today. I, your son, was chosen and will become Mr. Sun's assistant."

This was like pie in the sky. He was really confused. He didn't participate in it at all and didn't think about it at all. He just stayed in the embassy honestly.

Zhou Shuren, "Did the Minister of Rites decide this?"

Chang Yi nodded, "Yes."

"Oh, if that's the case, go ahead."

Chang Yi, "Are you really okay?"

Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "This idea came from your father. At that time, the Ministry of Rites asked for 300,000 taels, but I didn't give it, so I came up with the idea."

Chang Yi, "."

So that's how he got the job.

Zhou Shuren continued, "Just do your job, don't worry about anything else, don't say anything. This is your performance. With this performance, you should be able to get promoted next year."

Chang Yi was excited by the last words, about promotion, "Dad, I will do my job carefully and well."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly. Master Sun must be very busy at this time."

Chang Yi stood up quickly. He was very nervous when he came here, but now he was full of confidence and his voice was much louder. "Yes, son, I will go back now. Dad, you go ahead and do your work."

Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi came back, Gu Zhuomin was waiting, looking at Chang Yi's expression, "Congratulations."

Chang Yi smiled and said, "I am lucky too."

Gu Zhuomin didn't believe it. He was sure that Zhou Changyi was able to get this enviable job because of Lord Zhou. The difference between Zhou Changyi's expressions when he left and when he came back was too great.

Gu Zhuomin sighed. He did not care about the benefits gained from being in charge, but the political performance. The first time of attracting investment had a different meaning.

Wang Ju came over and said, "Changyi, come here. I want to talk to you."

He did not participate this time because he knew he was about to leave the Ministry of Rites, so he still wanted to give Chang Yi more instructions. This mission was very complicated!

In the capital, Zhulan went to a foreign shop with her little girl. She wanted to buy some things that would be useful for her studies, which could only be bought in a foreign shop.

Xue Han was not very interested in foreign things, so she accompanied her mother after seeing them. When she saw her mother choosing things, she also asked the shopkeeper if he had any long glass tubes, etc.

Xue Han had a wooden face. Ever since her mother got the foreign books, she had been more obsessed with reading them than her second brother. She was always muttering to herself and holding the books in her hands every day. These days, she didn't chat with her mother and her sisters-in-law and studied on her own every day.

Xue Han was a little confused facing her mother who was obsessed with studying, but her mother continued to write and the shopkeeper was dumbfounded.

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said, "We don't have the items you want. Would you like to take a look at the new perfumes? They are very popular."

Zhulan was disappointed, but then she thought that it made sense, the store only sold popular items, "No thanks."

She was not interested in perfume. The current living environment in Europe was so bad that she didn't want to eat just thinking about it. Perfume was used to cover up the smell. Thinking of this, Zhulan couldn't help but take a step back and stay away from the perfume.

The shopkeeper, "?"

Xue Han also put down the perfume in her hand. Her mother didn't like it, and she didn't like it either.

Zhulan settled the bill and complained, "It's so expensive."

Xue Han, "Yes."

Zhulan wanted to ask Zhou Shuren to get the equipment. She had never been so dedicated in her previous life. She never expected that she would need to study hard and struggle in ancient times.

Zhu Lan had a wooden face. When she first arrived, it was Zhou Shuren who studied very hard, and now it was her turn. It was really fair!

The mother and daughter took a carriage back home. On the way back, they met a caravan. The caravan's trucks were quite long. Such caravans were not uncommon in the capital.

The capital is the center of power. Even though the south is more prosperous, its consumption is no worse than that of the south. Places where powerful and wealthy families gather are all big consumers.

At the Mansion of Marquis Yao, Yao Wenqi turned a deaf ear to the visitor's advice and closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Gu San was not in a hurry. He took out the letter written by his master and put it down. "This is the letter from the master."

Yao Wenqi heard the door close before he picked up the letter on the table and read it. He sneered, "Promised him a kingship, but they really thought he was a good liar. These idiots."

Yao Wenqi tightly grasped the letter. He was supposed to be the one in charge, but things didn't go well one after another. Also, the Zhang family acted on their own, and he was trapped in a desperate situation. Thinking of the place where the Zhang family was hiding, Yao Wenqi's face turned grim. He sent people there, only to find out that the place was fake.

Yao Wenqi secretly hated himself. If the emperor had not cut off his connections, his remaining power would have been swallowed up by the Zhang family. Suddenly he laughed again. The emperor raised the Zhang family, and he was waiting for their fate.

However, when Yao Wenqi loosened his hand and the emperor cut off his contact with the outside world, he knew that his every move was in the emperor's eyes. He had lost, but not completely. He had to squint his eyes, and the more chaotic the situation, the more chances he would have to escape.

On the street, Zhulan was sitting by the carriage window and saw at a glance a box that had fallen from the truck in front of her. The box hit the newly paved road and cracked for a moment.

Then, Zhulan saw some fish falling out of the box. She also saw something wrapped in oil paper and said to the driver, "Stop."

Zhulan was about to get off the carriage when the driver of the cart in front hurriedly stopped the carriage and stuffed all the things back into the box.
