Chapter 1235 It's Hard to Keep a Low Profile
Zhulan is more concerned about the children's psychological growth. The two little girls were sent back by Changlian and his wife for the sake of their daughters' goodness, but Yuyi may not think so. Children's thoughts are sometimes easy to guess and sometimes difficult to guess.
Zhulan, "You two will live in the main courtyard in the house where your aunt lives. Grandma told you that she is also studying. Can we study together in the future?"
Yuyi nodded obediently, "Okay."
Zhulan has taken care of Yuyi, and the more well-behaved the girl is, the less secure she feels. She is still too young for Changlian and his wife. Changlian is busy with official duties, and Dong has to socialize and manage the household. People have limited energy, so it is inevitable that they neglect the child.
Zhao and Su Xuan looked at each other, then got up and went back.
The house had been tidied up. Zhulan did not send away Yuyi's original maid, but only gave two second-class maids in the main courtyard to Yuyi and Yujiao respectively.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren was happy to see his granddaughter when he came back. Zhulan was afraid that the two children would not sleep well after coming back, so she stayed with them until they fell asleep before coming back.
Zhou Shuren put down the book and asked, "Are you all asleep?"
Zhulan nodded, "Yeah, I'm asleep."
Zhou Shuren's heart is also a man's heart, not that delicate, "Yuyi has really grown up, she can answer all the questions I ask."
Zhulan didn't expect Zhou Shuren to find out. This was the difference between men and women. She told him what she had found out. "Yujiao is better because she is young. Yuyi is too well-behaved and has no sense of security."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "It would have been better not to let the child go with them."
"Yes, but we also think that since the child is still young, it would be better for the parents to take care of him, so as to avoid estrangement when we are separated for a long time in the future."
Zhou Shuren sighed, "Raising a child is so difficult."
Zhulan thought of her youngest son and smiled more. "It's not difficult. Our son is becoming more and more obedient now."
Zhou Shuren, "He's still pestering you to teach him math?"
"Well, this child is quite talented."
Zhou Shuren was delighted. "Then we can't bury it. We still need technology for future development."
Zhulan smiled and said, "I will pass on everything I know to Changyi and Changzhong. I hope they can make more changes and promote technological development in the future."
Zhou Shuren: "Yes."
A few days passed, and the strangeness between Yuyi and Yudie began to disappear because of their blood relationship. The children played together. It would have been better if they could have ignored Yuwen's lifeless face that day.
The most plump girl in the family must be Yuwen. This girl doesn't care at all when being called fat. She just doesn't want to move and doesn't understand Yudie, such an active girl.
In Yuwen's mind, on such a hot day, wouldn't it be good for a girl to fan herself and sleep? Why must she run back and forth in the sun?
Zhulan couldn't help laughing every time she saw Yuwen. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of them is different, and the granddaughters in the family are also different.
Today is the day when the diplomatic envoys arrive in Beijing, and these princes and the diplomatic envoys have finally arrived.
The people who greeted them at the city gate were the King of Chu and Rongchuan. The King of Chu had good eyesight and saw the foreign delegation from a distance. He approached Rongchuan and said, "There are quite a lot of people here."
Rongchuan, "Almost all the countries where foreigners are located have come."
Yes, that’s right, no matter how many countries they are from, in his eyes they are all foreigners.
King Chu, "Tell me, when they arrived at Pinggang, did they know what was happening in the capital?"
Rong Chuan said with certainty, "He must have known, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to Beijing without any rest."
The King of Chu clicked his tongue twice, "The Crown Prince is planning to bite off a few pieces of meat!"
Rongchuan, "Prince brother, your idea is very good."
The King of Chu touched the sword in his hand and clicked his tongue twice. They were indeed brothers. They had the same ideas on many issues. He was envious. If he had a brother, he would give up dreaming.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites Embassy seem less enthusiastic now than when the foreigners were not committing suicide. If it were not for the investment promotion, it would have ended long ago and they even want to replace everything in the embassy.
Changyi is the best at foreign languages, as a translator.
Wang Ju pulled Chang Yi and said, "We should be here soon."
Changyi, "Soon."
Wang Ju felt a little tired from standing. She touched her belly which had gained a lot of weight, and looked at the sky. It was really hot today.
After waiting for another half an hour, the delegation's carriages finally appeared at the gate of the embassy. There were carriages parked one after another, forming a very long convoy.
The King of Chu dismounted from his horse. He was the person in charge of receiving the foreigners this time.
The delegation that came to visit this time consisted of hundreds of people, and that was just the masters. Including maids and others, the total number of people was several thousand.
The King of Chu's expression was not very good, all because of no other reason, he brought a lot of soldiers, and they were all specially trained.
Rongchuan had already entered the palace to report. The King of Chu, with a fake smile, invited these princes and ministers who had come from afar to go into the embassy to rest.
The princes in the delegation were not as calm as they appeared. The powerful upper kingdom was not affected by the rebellion and remained as powerful as ever, so powerful that their plans failed.
In the next few days, the emperor did not meet with the delegation. The delegations from various countries were led by officials from the Ministry of Rites to tour around the capital, visit national temples, and see the royal estates, etc., and they took in a lot of scenery.
Zhou Shuren and the emperor, who was dressed in casual clothes, were in a particularly good position, able to see the envoys from various countries on the street.
The emperor asked, "Shu Ren, what did you see?"
Zhou Shuren saw some men wearing high heels and said something casually. After he finished speaking, he smiled dryly and said, "I was distracted. I have heard a lot about the environment in foreign countries."
The emperor was naturally aware of this, and immediately felt that the snack in his hand was no longer delicious. He stared at Zhou Shuren and asked, "What do you see now?"
Zhou Shuren, "I saw greed."
Clean streets and prosperous shops are what foreigners yearn for, so they are greedy and want to own them.
Your Majesty, "I saw it too, but they were really able to keep their composure and didn't mention the captured foreigners or the seized merchant ships at all."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "In order to get what they want from you, they can't admit it, it's not surprising that they abandon some people."
Anyone with a clear mind would not really go to war for a few people. The main reason was that they were too far away and had witnessed the power of the imperial court.
The emperor was quite regretful, "But it doesn't matter, I'll give it up. It's a good opportunity to establish my authority."
The emperor got bored and left first. Zhou Shuren, still in his official uniform, sat for a while before leaving. Coincidentally, he ran into the foreign delegation when he came down.
When several officials from the Ministry of Rites saw Zhou Shuren, they hurriedly said, "I have seen Mr. Zhou."
At this time, foreigners also had translators, and everything they said was translated.
Zhou Shuren felt that there was something wrong with the way the foreigner looked at him, so he looked over, then nodded coldly and got on the Ministry of Revenue's carriage and returned to the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhou Shuren got on the carriage and stroked his beard. It was difficult for him to keep a low profile as the conditions did not allow it. Tsk tsk!
