Chapter 1287 Reasons for Not Working Hard

Among the several Shujishi, the youngest one had particularly bright eyes. Changzhi told them everything he knew and left with a smile.

When he was halfway there, Chang Zhi saw Ming Shan, but Ming Shan quickly dodged him. Chang Zhi paused for a few seconds, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes.

He could guess why Zhou Mingshan was hiding. Zhou Mingshan was a member of the clan, and he was afraid that because of his second brother, his father would let him go with them.

Zhou Mingshan hid behind a rockery. He was not sure whether Uncle Chang Zhi saw him or not. Regardless of whether he saw him or not, he did not want to go abroad.

In the Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi was stopped by Gu Zhuomin, "I want to talk to you."

Chang Yi gestured to go to the pavilion. When they arrived at the pavilion, Chang Yi looked into Gu Zhuo Min's dark eyes and knew what was going on. "Are you attracted to him?"

Gu Zhuomin was indeed tempted. Because he was related to the Zhou family, he was protected in the capital. He was honest and no one bullied him. He could not make a difference on his own. Now there was an opportunity in front of him, but he was not young anymore. "I was indeed tempted."

Chang Yi lowered his head. Because of his future son-in-law, Gu Zhuomin was his network. He did not have the advantage of his third and fourth brothers who had passed the imperial examinations, so he accumulated his network very slowly. Chang Yi thought to himself that Gu Zhuomin would only be good for him.

Chang Yi raised his head, "Take the initiative, the higher-ups will know about it. Don't let others push you out, or you will be passive and won't make a good impression on them."

Gu Zhuomin's eyes widened. Yes, what if he was pushed out? Although the probability of him being pushed out was not high, he did not dare to take the risk. Looking at Zhou Changyi, he hardened his heart. He knew that they were all acquaintances when he went out. If he followed Zhou Changyi, Lord Zhou would not treat him badly for his son's sake when he came back. "I'll go find Lord Shangshu."

Zhou Changyi watched Gu Zhuomin leave with a smile. Well, he estimated that the person he wanted to scare Gu Zhuomin would be the official who joined the Ministry of Rites this year, not Gu Zhuomin.

At Zhou Mansion, Yang Wen returned from Pinggang. Zhu Lan was pleasantly surprised. This boy has been very busy since he was promoted. "It's been very hard lately. You are still young, so you must take good care of yourself and don't work too hard."

She felt sad every time she thought about her young children who had already experienced the battlefield.

Yang Wen was very tanned, which made her teeth look particularly white. "I've been busy lately, auntie. I'm going to be transferred."

Zhulan was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was, "You want to go on the mission?"

The officers and soldiers accompanying this mission are all navy officers. They have been away for several years and the child has not yet married.

Yang Wen smiled and shook his head, "I won't go with you. I have to go to a southern port to expand the navy. I received an order to be transferred."

Although his official position did not rise, his power became greater.

Zhulan was happy for her nephew, the child worked so hard, "Okay, okay, you must take good care of yourself when you go to the south."

Yang Wen nodded, "Aunt, I brought back some fresh seafood. I'll give it to you to taste tonight."

Zhulan, "Okay, then I'll eat more."

Afterwards, Zhulan let Yang Wen go to rest, and then called Qingxue. Zhulan wanted to prepare things for Yang Wen to go to the south, and she was the only one in the capital who could help with the arrangements.

Not long after Yang Wen rested, Zhulan heard the maid report that Yang Wen took Minghui and a few others to practice martial arts, and also asked the servant to teach Yang Wen calligraphy.

Obviously, the boys admired Yang Wen, who had been on the battlefield.

Now that the house is bigger, a special area has been set aside for the children to exercise. There are quite a few people gathered in the martial arts training ground now, and even the servants and maids who are not on duty have come to join in the fun.

Yu Shuang and Yu Lu are grown-up girls now, so they didn't come. Yu Die brought Yu Yi and Yu Wen here instead.

Yudie was the most excited, shouting loudly, "Cousin, beat him up, cousin is the best."

Yuyi wanted to reach out and cover Sister Yudie's mouth, desperately grabbing Sister Yudie who was about to rush out, "Etiquette, Third Sister, etiquette."

Yudie didn't care about her sister's anxiety, "There's nothing wrong at home."

Yuyi could imagine that her second aunt would pinch sister Yudie's ears, and she really tried her best to prevent her sister from being punished.

Yuyi felt her shoulders sag, and when she looked to the side, she saw her sister Yuwen yawning. "...How can you feel sleepy in such a noisy place?"

Yuwen yawned and cried, "My mother is very strict with me. I haven't slept during the day recently."

Wuwu, mother punished her ruthlessly and she couldn’t resist!

Yuyi was speechless, "You are indeed too lazy."

She used to worry that her sister was not feeling well and was therefore sleepy. Later, she asked her grandmother about it. Her grandmother said that she had consulted the imperial physician and doctors for a thorough examination and concluded that sister Yuwen was in very good health and that she was just lazy because she loved to sleep.

Yu Wen's eyes were particularly beautiful. She blinked and stood up straight, stretching out her fat hands. "First, my family is powerful. Second, there are no concubines in my family. Third, my mother's dowry is rich. Fourth, I have an older brother. Fifth, my father also works hard."

Yuyi was a little confused, "Why are you counting this?"

Yu Wen put down her fat hands, "I'm counting the reasons why I don't need to work hard. Look, sister, we have so much, I don't have the desire to work hard."

Yuyi was somewhat misled. She thought about herself and felt that she was similar to her sister. She shook her head desperately, "Your ideas are all wrong. We can work hard in many areas, such as learning, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Yuwen was silent for a few seconds, "Actually, I learn things pretty quickly."

Yuyi also fell silent. Although her sister Yuwen seems lazy, she is the fastest learner and has a particularly good memory. Woohoo, she looked left at Yudie who was shouting excitedly, and then at the lazy Yuwen. Why are her sisters so different in personality?

The maids behind him had wooden faces, and the woodenest one was the maid from the fourth room. Only then did she realize so many reasons why her young lady didn't need to work hard!

Zhulan was chatting with Suxuan and a few others. After a while, she heard Yuwen's words and fell strangely silent.

Su Xuan was stunned, holding a handkerchief to her chest. Yes, this was her young lady. Sometimes she said things that were so irritating and full of twisted logic.

Zhao and Li looked at each other and burst out laughing, especially Li, who said while laughing, "Yuwen is such an interesting girl."

Zhulan was also in a good mood, but Suxuan's cheeks turned red because she was angry.

When Zhou Shuren came back, Zhulan also told him the story. Zhou Shuren was silent, then laughed out loud, "Yuwen is the most interesting of the girls."

Zhulan nodded, "Yes, this girl looks lazy. Sometimes I wonder if she has a photographic memory. She hasn't read many books, but she remembers better than anyone else."

Zhou Shuren and Yuwen didn't have much contact. It wasn't that the grandfather didn't like his granddaughter, but she would rather play chess with Zhou Gong than move her feet. Zhou Shuren became interested and said, "I'll try it when I have my day off."
