Chapter 1300: Estimating Money
If you are trapped in constraints and lose yourself step by step, you will be just a wife in your husband's heart.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Three days later, Zhou Shuren accompanied the emperor to Pinggang. It was the first time that the emperor left the capital after ascending the throne, and his departure was very complicated.
Zhulan had breakfast, took a walk in the garden, and fed the fish in the lake. The team leaving the capital had not left yet.
More than an hour passed before the team set off. Zhulan did not go to the city gate to take a look, but Changzhong took Yangqing and a few others to gain some experience.
Zhulan went back to the main courtyard half an hour later, and Changzhong came back with Yang Qing and others.
Changzhong was sweating all over. He saw the icy cold watermelon and picked it up to eat. After eating two pieces, he felt alive again. "Mom, there are so many people at the city gate today. It's so crowded and hot. It's really uncomfortable."
As he spoke, Changzhong smelled his clothes, and his wrinkled face was full of the smell of sweat.
Yang Qing said, "Aunt, I saw Grandpa. His carriage was very close to the Emperor's dragon chariot."
Zhulan raised her head, "Did you see it clearly?"
Yang Qing nodded, "I see it clearly, I see my aunt."
Changzhong couldn't help laughing when he thought of his father. "Mom, when I saw Dad, he was eating watermelon. You asked the butler to put a freezer in the carriage. I guess Dad ate all the frozen watermelon."
Zhulan gnashed her teeth. She didn't remember putting the watermelon in there. A few days ago, Zhou Shuren had a stomachache and was upset because he ate too much iced watermelon, so she didn't allow him to eat. But this guy actually secretly put the watermelon in.
Outside the capital, the windows on both sides of Zhou Shuren's carriage were closed, and it was still a little cool inside the carriage because of the ice.
Zhou Shuren called Jinyan and motioned for Jinyan to eat the grapes, "Don't just watch me eat, eat some too, they're delicious when they're cold."
Jinyan: "Sir, you asked me to take the watermelon secretly."
Zhou Shuren nodded, savoring the iced watermelon. It was delicious. "Yeah."
Jianyan's face was wooden. "Jianyan wanted to tell you, sir, that when I was at the city gate, I saw the young master and several young masters of the Yang family."
Zhou Shuren swallowed the grape skins and asked, "So?"
"The young master saw the adults eating watermelon."
It's over, the mistress must have known about it. Even though it was the master who asked her to steal the watermelon, he was the one who did it!
Zhou Shuren felt that the grapes were no longer sweet, so he opened the carriage window for a while. How could it be such a coincidence? "Hey, I'll lie down for a while."
Jianyan saw that the adults told him to lie down and he really lay down.
Zhou Shuren lay down for a while, thinking that he would settle the bill when he got back. He didn't want to think about anything now and fell asleep.
Inside the dragon carriage, the emperor has been in a good mood ever since leaving the capital. The newly built road makes it very convenient for the carriage to travel, and it is not bumpy at all.
After a while, the emperor learned that Zhou Shuren had fallen asleep in the carriage. The reason why the emperor heard this was because Zhou Shuren was snoring in his sleep.
emperor,"......"
Inside the palace, the empress listened to the female official's report that Concubine Liu and several others were dancing so hard that they stayed in their own palace. The empress was very sarcastic, saying that they wanted to follow the emperor whenever he went out and danced so hard.
As a result, the emperor didn't take anyone with him, even the crown prince was sent to the Prince of Qin's Palace.
The Queen actually wanted to go with him, but she knew she couldn't because the Prince was young and in the capital, so she had to stay in the capital.
The Queen looked at the screen sent back by her Mother and felt really jealous of her Mother.
At Zhou Mansion, Zhao's relatives sent a letter, and Zhao came to the main courtyard, "Mother, my cousin's son is getting married and asked me to go over. I'm thinking of taking Mingrui to visit the manor."
Zhulan, "Okay."
Zhao continued, "We will go and return on the same day."
"Just keep it in mind."
Zhao returned for her son. She and her husband protected the Zhao family for their son. Since it was for her son, she was willing to give the Zhao family some face.
Zhulan waited for Zhao to leave, thinking to herself that Zhao really looked more and more like Changyi. The couple looked so much alike.
The next day, Zhao took Mingrui to the farm early in the morning, and Zhulan also prepared two pieces of cloth.
At noon, Zhou Shuren had already arrived in Pinggang and went directly to the naval base in Pinggang. The navy was ready after receiving the order.
Zhou Shuren got off the carriage and looked closely at the ancient military camp. He felt that it was not bad. They did not live in simple wooden houses or tents. Ordinary officers and soldiers lived in mud brick houses which were well insulated. This was already very good.
Zhou Shuren looked around at the facilities and estimated the amount of money in his mind. You know, the Ministry of Revenue allocates money every year to improve the living conditions of the soldiers.
Zhang Jinghong followed them out of Beijing today. Zhang Jinghong knew his master best. Not to mention his master, he felt heartbroken when he knew the annual naval expenses and he habitually started to estimate the silver.
General Hou was introducing the naval camp to the emperor when he felt a chill on his back and turned back, only to find nothing.
The emperor turned around and saw Zhou Shuren looking around, and noticed that Zhou Shuren's fingertips moved. Come on, this is an estimated account!
The emperor's smile deepened. Why did he bring Zhou Shuren here? It was not just to spend money, but also for inspection. Zhou Shuren could not hide the money from him.
They walked all the way to the residence prepared for the emperor to rest, and the emperor motioned for the ministers to sit down.
When they arrived at the military camp, the sea breeze blew from time to time, and it was not so hot. Zhou Shuren felt quite comfortable sitting in the well-ventilated hall.
