Chapter 1239: Killing the Rich
After the banquet, the diplomatic envoys from various countries also became busy with various negotiations and consultations. Rongchuan was pulled over by the prince to help, not only because his biological brother was so simple, but also because Rongchuan's vision was in sync with the prince's. Even though the two brothers have only worked together for a short time, the tacit understanding engraved in their bones and blood cannot be compared with that of the King of Qi and others.
Zhou Shuren thought that Prince Joey would not bother him as the diplomatic corps were so busy, but he did not expect that the prince was so persistent.
Zhou Shuren met Prince Joy as soon as he came out of the government office. The envoys from various countries could only bring a small number of soldiers with them when they entered the capital, so Prince Joy was currently only accompanied by two soldiers.
Zhou Shuren's beard twitched, "Prince Joey."
Joey was very humble. He was not the first heir, but he was ambitious. As a prince who was not valued, this was the only thing he had fought for on this mission. "I know Lord Zhou is very busy. It's great that I can wait for Lord Zhou now."
Zhou Shuren knew that the prince had arrived in the morning and had been waiting outside the door until now. This Prince Joey was only seventeen years old.
In Zhou Shuren's eyes, the boy smiled shyly, looking at him with admiration, an ambitious man who was very good at pretending. "If the prince wants to discuss mathematics, I am very busy and have not studied it for a long time."
He paused and continued, "My son should have surpassed me. He is in the Ministry of Rites. You have been with him for a long time. You can ask him casually."
Joey is not in a hurry. He has been learning about Eastern culture in the ancient Eastern country. He likes the saying, "Sincerity can move mountains and open up new horizons."
Joey smiled even more shyly, "I have also heard of Lord Zhou in my country. I just admire him. If I make you feel troubled, I will control my temper."
Zhou Shuren didn't know much about foreign history, and now he didn't want to study foreign developments. He didn't have the time. To the ambitious person who couldn't act well, Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I believe in the prince's sense of propriety."
Zhou Shuren got on his own carriage. After the carriage had moved for a while, Jianyan, who was sitting by the window, said, "That foreign prince is still watching us."
Zhou Shuren, "Don't worry about him."
The next day was the day of Qiao Qian's Banquet at the Prince of Qin's Mansion. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went there very early because because of Qiao Qian's Banquet, the prince rarely let Rongchuan go.
When Zhulan and Zhou Shuren arrived, Rongchuan and Xuehan greeted them personally at the door. These people saw how much respect the King of Qin had for his father-in-law Zhou Shuren.
Zhulan and the concubine entered the palace together. Since the sacrifice, Zhulan had seen the concubine once, but today was the first time she saw Rongchuan.
Zhulan whispered to her daughter, "I almost couldn't recognize Rongchuan after not seeing him for just a few days."
Xue Han smiled and asked, "Do you think your daughter has changed?"
Zhulan, "It has changed. With the blessing of your status, your bearing has become more and more noble."
The aura of a superior, the power at the top of the pyramid, no wonder the emperor and the empress want to recognize Rongchuan no matter what, these are indeed what Rongchuan deserves.
Because they arrived early, Zhulan signaled Xuehan to go and do her work, and she just let the female official show her around.
Li and Su Xuan also arrived at Qiao Qian's banquet today. Zhao's belly was too big, so she didn't come. The two of them were following Zhu Lan around the palace.
Zhulan didn't tour the whole palace, but she had a deep understanding of it. He was worthy of being the emperor's most beloved youngest son. The decoration and area of this palace should be second only to the prince's mansion.
The Earl's Mansion that Zhulan is going to move to tomorrow is already big enough, but it is now nothing compared to the Prince Qin's Mansion. Look at the tall buildings, all of them are made of money.
When Zhulan returned to the banquet, most people had already arrived.
Zhulan sat down, and Tao came over. "I haven't had the chance to visit you these days. You are very famous in the capital now."
Zhulan hesitated and asked, "Wasn't I famous before?"
Not to mention Zhou Shuren's actions, her own reputation as the best mother-in-law was also well-known in the upper circles of Beijing.
Dow, "......."
It seems that this is indeed the case.
Tao lowered his voice and said, "Tell me the truth, you really have learned the knowledge of the foreigners."
Zhulan replied confidently, "Yes."
She had a good foundation, so even if she had forgotten a lot, it was not as difficult as she had imagined to recall it. Plus, her current level was not very profound, so she felt that she was quite good.
Tao's expression was indescribable. She knew that Yang liked reading, but she didn't expect that Yang actually learned foreign knowledge. She didn't think that Yang would lie to her. This was the face of the Zhou family, and Yang would not lie about this.
Zhulan looked at her good friends over the years and said, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you. It's actually quite interesting."
Not only did she teach her son and grandson at home, she also taught her granddaughter some simple things. She felt that the profession of teacher was very suitable for her!
Tao looked as if to ask, "Why are you trying to hurt me?" and said in a cryptic way, "I didn't like studying and writing when I was in school."
Zhulan thought of Su Xuan and the relationship between Su Xuan and Tao family, and understood: a poor student.
Zhu Lan said quietly, "Learn until old age, live until old age."
Tao had a cold expression on her face, as if she would end the relationship if Zhulan continued talking. Zhulan could only spread her hands and indicate that she would not mention it anymore.
Tao then said, "I heard some bad things about you."
Zhu Lan didn't care at all. Ever since she dropped a pot at the banquet, she knew that there would be bad things said about her. "You don't have to worry about me. With my current status, few people dare to tell me. Anyway, I can't hear it. It's up to others to say whatever they want."
Tao felt sad because what Yang said was true.
The Crown Prince also arrived at the banquet today. It was rare for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to come together. He also brought his legitimate son with him. Several royal palaces also brought their children.
When Rongchuan returned to the royal family, he had already given gifts to his nephews.
But the King of Qi was jealous when he saw the display, "Fifth brother, this is the first time your nephews are visiting you, you can't be stingy."
The King of Chu was also jealous, he had been jealous since he entered the palace, and now he was like an old man with old jealousy, "Fifth brother's family background is very rich, let your nephews open their eyes."
Prince Liang's injuries had just mostly healed, but he was still very weak. Since the palace coup, he had only shown up when Rong Chuan returned. Prince Liang wished he could keep a low profile and kept silent even when he was sad.
The prince's heart was bleeding. His brother was no longer important at this time. There were many decorations in the Qin Palace that he had contributed. He said quietly, "Little brother, your nephew's first visit has a different meaning."
Rongchuan, "......."
He was still wondering why they all came with their children in such an orderly manner. It turned out that they were here to kill him, the rich man.
Rongchuan looked up and saw the jade carvings, then turned around to see the red coral ornaments. There was a reason why they were so rich. His third uncle had moved most of his assets here, and then his father, who had sent all that was left for him to the Prince of Qin's Palace.
