Chapter 1245 Sympathy for Mingteng

Changzhong said quietly, "Dad, you didn't ask Mom for money. Is the money you brought enough to buy a horse?"

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

Changzhong understood that his father did not have enough money in his pocket.

The carriage had just started moving when Zhou Shuren shouted, "Stop, stop."

Then Zhou Shuren looked at Jinyan, and after a moment of silence, he said to his son, "I'll wait for you in the carriage. Go back and get the silver."

Changzhong, ".Me?"

Zhou Shuren coughed lightly and said, "If I go, I don't think I'll get much money back."

Changzhong understood, so dad made mom angry again. She said why mom didn't take the initiative to give money, this was to squeeze dad's wallet!

Zhou Shuren covered his purse and said, "Your father doesn't have much money, don't expect me to pay you."

Horses are really expensive, especially good ones. Even foals are extremely expensive.

Changzhong gave his father a look that said, "What's the point of inviting you?", then he opened the carriage and was carried down by Jianyan, and then he ran home.

When Changzhong arrived at the main courtyard, he did not see his mother, but only saw the purse in Qingxue's hand. He realized that his mother wanted to torture his father, and he regretted running back.

Changzhong opened his purse, which contained a hundred and fifty taels of silver. He took out a hundred taels with a smile, and then left only a fifty-tael note in his purse in front of Qingxue.

Clear the snow, "."

She remembered that the mistress told him that there was money in here for the old man to treat guests to tea the day after tomorrow, and she also told the young master!

Changzhong snorted, grabbed his purse and ran away.

When we got back to the carriage, "Mother only gave me fifty taels, saying that there was money in there for Dad to treat us to tea the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren, ".Just this?"

Even if the daughter-in-law is angry, she will not disregard his face and harass him to no avail.

Changzhong said with a righteous look on his face, "Dad, how did you offend Mom? Don't you know what happened?"

Zhou Shuren felt a little guilty and looked away from his son's eyes. By the time Changzhong had a smug smile in his eyes, his purse had already been taken into his father's hand.

Changzhong, "."

Zhou Shuren had already opened his purse and poured out the silver and banknotes inside, "!!"

He is jealous of the rich because his pockets are not as rich as his son's.

Changzhong's mouth was stiff, "That's all my son's money."

Zhou Shuren chuckled, "You never carry more than 100 taels of silver when you go out. You're so good, but now you dare to deduct your father's money."

Changzhong pursed his lips and asked, "How did you know?"

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, because your mother and I had once raided your house, you hid all the large bills. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his nose and tapped his son's forehead, "Your father is still your father. Let's see if you dare to play tricks on me again, little bastard."

Chang Zhong looked at the hundred-liang silver note with regret, put all his own money into it, and snorted.

Although Zhou Shuren was not in the carriage yesterday, he still made his presence felt at the racecourse.

So choosing a foal for my youngest son went particularly smoothly.

Changzhong took his father's hand and said, "Dad, let's go to the racecourse!"

Zhou Shuren was actually very tired, but he felt guilty towards his little son. He had not spent much time with his son. In the past two years, he had not spent as much time with his son as Wu Ming. Looking at his son's eager eyes, and then at his son's chubby hand holding his, he smiled and said, "Okay."

Changzhong is a child after all. Even though he is precocious, he still longs for his parents' company, especially his father. The fat boy jumped happily, "Dad is the best."

Changzhong felt that the days when his father was recuperating in the manor were not his happiest time, because his father was only with the emperor, and his happiest moment was when he returned to Beijing.

It takes a while to get to the racecourse by horse-drawn carriage. The racecourse in the capital has become increasingly popular in recent years.

With the economic development, all walks of life were prosperous. Due to the love of the powerful and the foreigners, the most popular places in the capital at night were the various boats and brothels, while the most popular places during the day were the racecourses and casinos.

Zhou Shuren got off the carriage. To be honest, this was his first time here and he felt sorry for himself. All he had to deal with every day was official duties. Listening to the shouting inside, he felt so angry!

At this time, Jianyan had already processed the sign and entered. Zhou Shuren held the wooden sign in his hand, which was quite exquisitely made. Different signs meant different seating positions and different treatments.

Zhou Shuren handed the sign to Jianyan and asked his fat son, "How do you know so much about this place?"

On the way here, the fat son talked incessantly.

Chang Zhong said: "My nephew Ming Teng has come several times. He told my son that he wanted to bring my son here, but my son sternly refused!"

Although he was tempted, he knew his limits and would only come with his father's consent. Of course, he also had his own little thoughts and would rather his father bring him along instead of him following his nephew.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I've been really busy lately."

I was so busy that I didn’t even realize how wonderful my life is!

Changzhong looked up at his father, thought about Mingteng's boastful look, and said with a smile: "Dad, you have worked hard. Alas, nephew Mingteng is also very busy. He is a young marquis. Since that day, Mingteng has been very busy. I heard from housekeeper Ding that the posts have to be packed in baskets."

Zhou Shuren, "I have been at home for the past few days. Ming Teng is a famous teacher. I must test him tomorrow."

Changzhong smiled and narrowed his eyes. The fat boy held his father's hand and shook it, "Dad, nephew Mingteng must have made great progress. You can't look at him with the same eyes as before. His teacher is a great scholar!"

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "I just wanted to compete with the university scholar in knowledge."

Be careful in what you say and do, "."

Sympathize with Master Mingteng!

The carriage seats were divided into sections. Zhou Shuren was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for himself. Besides, his family had plenty of money and he had his young son with him, so naturally he chose the best section.

Of course, this area cannot be obtained just by having money. Zhou Shuren, who accompanied the emperor in acquiring the land and will become the future Minister of Revenue, can still get it.

Zhou Shuren stepped onto the stairs and paused. "What a coincidence."

The King of Qi and the King of Chu were talking to each other with red faces and thick necks. When they heard the voice, they looked over and saw the King of Qi fanning himself with a fan, "Lord Zhou is here too."

There is still one chapter left. It's very late. I'll read it tomorrow morning.
