Chapter 1246 Son

In the end, Zhou Shuren took the position of King of Qi and King of Chu, and the only child, Changzhong, also attracted special attention.

The King of Chu looked at the fat boy, then at Zhou Shuren, "Young Master, you are in great shape."

Changzhong subconsciously sucked in his stomach, thinking it was a small movement, but everyone present noticed it.

The King of Qi shielded his face with a fan, and the King of Chu also had a smile in his eyes.

Changzhong realized later that he had done something stupid. He glanced at his father, then kept smiling and continued to eat the fruit with his fat hands.

Prince Qi took off the fan and looked at Zhou Shuren again. He couldn't help but think deeply, if there was only the legal wife in the backyard and there weren't so many fights, would all the children be able to become successful?

Among Zhou Shuren's sons, except for the eldest one, all the others are pretty good, and there are also many outstanding grandchildren, representing the outstanding eldest grandson of the Zhou family. The second grandson is also looking more and more like a little marquis, and it seems that the children of each branch are pretty good.

The King of Chu also noticed Zhou Shuren's youngest son. They had never paid attention to this old man because he was too young. Now look, the fat boy was very calm in front of the two princes. Even if he made a fool of himself, he was still very composed.

The King of Chu thought of his son, took a deep breath, and became angry.

If Changzhong knew about this, he would definitely say, “My mother said, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who will be embarrassed.”

Since they were at the racecourse, how could they not bet on horses? The King of Qi and the King of Chu felt that Zhou Shuren had a pair of hands that could make money. Ever since Zhou Shuren came to the Ministry of Revenue, the national treasury had never run out of money even in the most difficult times, and they were able to keep various reserve silver. Now, the Ministry of Revenue doesn't even have the confidence to complain about poverty.

Zhou Shuren was persuaded and was somewhat moved, then he wrote down the number quickly. The King of Qi and the King of Chu arrived early, and their luck was mixed today.

Now of course I follow.

After Zhou Shuren finished writing the sign, he saw that his son also had a sign in his hand, "You choose number three?"

Changzhong: "Ah."

Zhou Shuren frowned. When the horses were just being shown, even though he didn't know much about horses, he could tell that No. 5 was stronger. "Why?"

Can Changzhong say that I just don't want to choose the same thing as you? Of course not, "It looks good, and it doesn't cost an extra ounce of silver anyway."

Zhou Shuren hummed. There is a limit on horse betting at the racecourse, but it is not so strict for officials. No one cares. They are all old foxes who come here for fun and entertainment. They will not spend too much money. No one is stupid. If too much money is bet, isn't it clearly saying that my family has money? Could there be a problem?

As for the bad children born into the family, it’s because they haven’t been educated well.

So Zhou Shuren could see many familiar faces. During his days off, he would come to watch the fun and eat fruits and snacks.

Zhou Shuren only gave him five taels of silver as a token of his appreciation, not much.

The two princes did not have so many concerns and each of them gave 100 taels.

The result was naturally that he lost, while Changzhong won by randomly choosing the one he chose.

In the following few games, the King of Qi and the King of Chu looked at Lord Zhou in annoyance. It was amazing that they lost every game.

Zhou Shuren, "."

No, his hands are pretty good at grabbing money!

In the palace, when the prince got the news, he also wanted to go to the racecourse!

They are all men and they like horses, but unfortunately there is no chance!

As for Zhou Shuren losing every time, the prince felt that Lord Zhou would not want to go to the racecourse again, which was good, it would be great if they could be busy together!

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye the autumn harvest was over. Many people gathered in the capital, including envoys from neighboring countries and nobles from various states.

Because the ceremony of the crown prince's succession to the throne would be held in two days, the whole capital was very lively.

At the Zhou family, Xue Han returned to her parents' home. According to the rules, Zhu Lan had to pay respects to the daughter of a noble family. How could Xue Han let her mother pay respects to her? She refused to allow it. Also, because of her status, it was inconvenient for her to return to her parents' home.

Xue Han doesn't go back to her parents' home as often now. She only comes back once a month, unlike before when she would go there every two or three days, not to mention that she would happily live there.

Xue Han returned to her parents' home today because the Crown Prince was going to succeed the throne. She learned a lot from her mother, so she came back to tell her mother.

After Xue Han had said everything she could, she whispered, "Mom, I saw the Queen's phoenix robe."

Zhulan, "Don't you see it often?"

Xue Han said, "I'm talking about the new ones."

Zhulan responded, "How did you see that?"

Xue Han said, "What a coincidence! I was in my mother's bedroom that day, and she took me to see it."

Xue Han felt that she knew too much. Not only did she see the phoenix robe, she also knew who was given the title of concubine, who was given the title of imperial concubine, and who was given the title of imperial concubine!

Zhulan looked at the lady who had a lot to say but couldn't, and laughed, "I always say that sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing."

Xue Han understood this deeply, "Mom is always right."

Then he changed the subject, "After my mother returned to the palace, she told Rongchuan that she would not grant Linxi the title of princess. I was really scared when I heard that. I don't want Linxi to become a princess."

Zhulan, "Ah, there is also this matter."

Xue Han, "Yes, you know that my father and mother are partial to our Qin Palace."

Zhu Lan said faintly, "Take some of the meaning out of your words."

It's more than just partiality, it's blatant bias!

Xue Han smiled and then said, "I heard from Rong Chuan that Ming Teng has a new master?"

"Ah, there is indeed a new master."

Recently, Ming Teng has not even gone out. After finishing his daily homework, he just wants to lie down.

Xue Han smiled slightly, "It's good. Ming Teng has indeed attracted some attention recently."

"Yeah, your father thinks so too."

Zhulan has been feeling a lot recently, especially when she meets the powerful on the street. With the change of imperial power, the old powerful become silent and the new powerful rise. As long as there is power struggle, it will not stop.

At this time, Qingxue came in with a letter. After greeting, she said, "A letter from Xuzhou."

Zhulan was surprised, "I just received a letter three days ago."

As she spoke, she took it. After opening the letter and reading it, Zhulan's face turned completely dark. Dong and Zhao got pregnant one after another. Zhao was more than two months pregnant at that time. Dong's baby was irregular because she was worried too much, so her baby was older than Zhao's, almost three months pregnant when she found out.

Zhulan calculated the days carefully and found out after Changzhi's palace examination that Dong was actually pregnant, and it was just over eight months.

At that time, there was smallpox in Xuzhou and Mrs. Dong was fine. Now that Mrs. Song was taking care of her in Xuzhou, she gave birth prematurely.

Xue Han asked with concern, "Mom, what happened?"

Zhulan handed the letter over, "Take a look."

Xue Han read it and sneered, "This letter was written by my third brother. He didn't mention my third sister-in-law's family. It seems that my third sister-in-law's premature birth is related to the Dong family."

Zhulan also thought of it, "Mrs. Song's letter will arrive soon."

Xue Han didn't want her mother to be unhappy, so she said something happy, "Mom, my third brother has a son now."

Zhulan thought of the letter saying that the birth was smooth and both mother and child were safe, and she felt better. Her son would not lie to her about this. "Yeah."

It is said that Chang Lian made two vows at that time, and then had two daughters, and the third child was a son. It was really a coincidence!

Xue Han smiled and said, "My aunt is going to prepare a generous gift!"

Zhulan had already asked Mrs. Song to take the gift for her newborn baby away, and her mind was somewhat wandering to Xuzhou.
