Chapter 1302 Typhoon

As soon as Zhou Shuren said this, the room became quiet. He felt that everyone's eyes were on him. He was used to it, so his first reaction was money.

The officials of the Shipbuilding Department were as quiet as a chicken. It was indeed as the Minister of Revenue said, the cost of the call was not small, and this was just the improved drawings. They looked at the emperor.

The emperor took the drawing and said, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren was silent. The emperor only replied with a "hmm". What does that mean?

Afterwards, the emperor was not prepared to ask Zhou Shuren anything, for fear that Zhou Shuren would start talking about money.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to say anything more, but his eyes couldn't help looking around. Silver, silver, all the materials used were silver.

The officials of the Shipbuilding Department had sweat on their foreheads. They had gradually distanced themselves from the Minister of Revenue. It was too stressful for them to be together.

On the way back, the emperor asked, "Shu Ren, what do you think of your inspection with me this time?"

Zhou Shuren, "I am the most unpopular person."

What these people fear most is that he looks around everywhere. If he looks a few more times, the people around him will be frightened and sweat. Even if they have no guilty conscience, they are still afraid that he will go back and steal their money.

The emperor was strangely silent, because Zhou Shuren was right. "Did Shuren gain anything from this trip?"

Zhou Shuren didn't gain much, but the emperor must have gained a lot. Before this trip, the emperor was already prepared to take action. Today, General Hou took him for a stroll, and he was scared when he thought of someone.

Zhou Shuren took a deep breath and said, "After spending so much money over the years, I finally see the fruits of my labor. It's worth the money I spent every year."

The emperor did not make things difficult for Zhou Shuren. He looked at the scenery outside and said nothing more.

Zhou Shuren also looked out the window. He was really a versatile tool. He was a handy tool in the emperor's hands. This trip was clearly arranged by the emperor.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye the emperor had returned to the capital.

However, the diplomatic mission did not have a smooth journey at sea as they encountered a typhoon and the ship had been docked on a remote island for many days.

Many shelters have been built on the island to provide shelter from the wind and rain. Fortunately, the island is far away from the typhoon, so the impact is not significant.

Changyi went to see Gu Zhuomin. Compared to Changyi who had been abroad to sea several times, Gu Zhuomin was in a miserable condition. He was still not able to adapt to the weather. He encountered bad weather and finally fell ill.

Chang Yi saw Gu Zhuomin drink the medicine. After waiting for a while, Gu Zhuomin lay down again. Chang Yi asked with concern, "How do you feel today?"

Gu Zhuomin lost a lot of weight due to the illness, and his eye sockets became sunken. "I feel much better now. I have the strength to walk around."

Chang Yi was relieved. "It has been raining for the past few days. The humid environment is not suitable for recuperation. Fortunately, you are fine."

Gu Zhuomin noticed the blue color in Changyi's eyes and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Chang Yi had a hard life indeed. When he left the capital, he was promoted directly to the sixth rank and led a diplomatic mission. This also meant that he was responsible for the officials on the mission. Not only Gu Zhuomin was sick, but many people were actually sick.

Fortunately, we brought all the doctors and medicines with us, and no one died. They have already slowly recovered, but Gu Zhuomin is seriously ill.

Seeing that Gu Zhuomin was tired, Chang Yi signaled Gu Zhuomin to rest, and he led his men to patrol around the camp.

When I came back, I saw the fishing team coming back, and those who went to the island to pick fruits also came back. The island is not small, and there are many wild vegetables and fruits, which reduces the consumption of supplies.

Chang Yi returned to his residence and saw Qing Shan, "What's the matter?"

Qingshan's face turned pale. He had been sick in the capital before, and he was sick again this time. "I am already well."

Changyi smiled, which was to tell him what kind of task he could teach. He could see clearly that Mingshan was anxious because he valued another scholar.

In the capital, Zhulan listened to the matchmaker's words and glanced at Su Xuan. Su Xuan's face looked particularly ugly. She obviously didn't expect that the Liu family would directly invite a matchmaker to come to their house.

The matchmaker the Liu family invited was the future mother-in-law of the top scholar, the Countess. The Liu family was very sincere.

But Su Xuan had already clearly refused and even asked a matchmaker to come to her house. It would be strange if Su Xuan was not angry.

Zhulan knew the Liu family's thoughts clearly. What if Su Xuan refused? She was the head of the family, so she just asked the matchmaker to come.

Zhulan waited until the matchmaker finished speaking before she said, "Everyone in the capital knows that I'm a good mother-in-law."

The countess's face twisted slightly. She was not nice to her daughter-in-law. In fact, she didn't like Yang. Thinking of the purpose of today, she smiled and said, "Whoever becomes the madam's daughter-in-law is blessed by cultivation."

Zhulan curled her lips. She liked the way she ignored me and tolerated me. "So, I always respect my daughter-in-law's opinion. When my children get engaged, I always consult my daughter-in-law."

The Countess understood that the county lord refused, and Yang supported the county lord, so it was useless to start with Yang. "That's really a pity. It's a rare good relationship."

Zhulan, "I believe in the horoscopes more."

So don't talk about good fate right away. This is a dangerous time. If today's remarks get out, it will be bad for Yu Wen's future reputation.

The Countess's smile froze. Yang was really flawless. "Madam is right."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Madam, you have made a wasted trip. I will not keep you any longer."

The Countess was unwilling to stay any longer, so she said, "I'll take my leave."

Su Xuan and the others left, and said angrily, "How can this be possible?"

Zhu Lan was not angry, "Concubine Liu is worried about the Second Prince."

The prince contacted Zhou Shuren one after another, and they were all clear-eyed and clear-minded people. Even though Zhou Shuren did not have the title of master, he made the Liu family anxious.

If there is a marriage with the Zhou family, it would indeed be a good move, but it's a pity that the Zhou family can't please everyone and their position has always been very determined.

Su Xuan was a person with a good vision. She also understood what her mother-in-law said from time to time, so she sighed, "Yu Wen is right. It is a blessing for her to be born in our family."

It is the norm for women to marry out of wedlock, but my parents-in-law hope that all their daughters can be happy. They are strict with boys and really favor girls.

The Queen was well-informed in the palace and knew about the Liu family's actions. The Queen looked at the red carp they raised and realized that the Liu family was really restless for the sake of their son.

At this time, the female official came over and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Zhaoyi is pregnant."

The queen was stunned for a moment. This was the first child born after the emperor ascended the throne. Even though she had adjusted her attitude, she was still upset. "Well, send someone to tell the emperor the good news, and you can select some rewards to send over."

Then the queen indicated that she was tired and went back to her bedroom to rest.
