Chapter 1357: Become a Disciple

Two days later, the snow in the capital had stopped, the sky was clear, and the sunlight shining on the snow was so bright that it hurt people's eyes.

The snow in the capital had stopped, but it was still snowing in Zhangzhou. The roads that had finally been cleared due to the incessant heavy snow were blocked again, and the team delivering food from Jinzhou was stuck halfway.

The prince, wrapped in his cloak, opened the window and stood on the second floor of the inn, gazing at the street. The streets were full of people sweeping the snow, each one in front of their own door. However, the carriages could not move unless the snow was cleared away.

Zhou Shuren curled up on the chair with his legs crossed, wrapping himself completely in his cloak. "It's not windy outside, would you like to go out for a walk, Prince?"

The prince has been asking about the situation in the state capital these past two days and has not left the inn. "Sir, can you go with me?"

Since Zhou Shuren had mentioned it, and he had promised the Emperor to teach the Crown Prince, it was natural that they should do it together. "Yes."

The prince said to Lord Yan who was sitting on the other side, "Your Excellency can stay in the inn and rest."

Lord Yan, "......Yes."

As expected, the prince's patience with him was almost reaching its limit. He took a deep breath and fortunately woke up before it was too late.

Zhou Shuren stood up and stretched his legs, put on his gloves, took out his purse and put two meat floss cakes in it, and finally held the hand warmer and said, "Let's go."

There was a smile in the prince's eyes. When he and Lord Zhou came out, he found that Lord Zhou was a man who liked to show off his wife, and Lord Zhou also lived an exquisite life when he went out.

In the past two days, I have had the meat floss and fish floss from the Zhou Mansion. They are really delicious when put into the white porridge. Yes, there are also the pickled vegetables brought by Lord Zhou. He is familiar with the taste of pickled vegetables. He would eat them in the morning when he stayed overnight in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. The emperor and grandmother both like this taste very much.

There are quite a few people staying in the inn, all of whom are people who are staying in Zhangzhou and cannot leave. The most conspicuous ones these days are Zhou Shuren and his group.

After leaving the inn, Zhou Shuren tightened the scarf around his neck. It was really cold outside.

The prince was worried, "It's so cold, the shed outside is useless."

Zhou Shuren said: "I have already dug a snow cave."

The prince frowned, "It's OK for strong adults, but it's hard for the elderly, women and children to bear it."

Zhou Shuren walked with great effort. He had been in Zhangzhou for a few days. Not only was the prince dissatisfied with the prefect of Zhangzhou, he was also dissatisfied. The court had publicized the snow disaster relief, and it was a perfect method, but Zhangzhou's action was too slow. He heard that many people were frozen to death in the past few days.

The prince poured snow into his mouth, closed his mouth, and kept walking with his head down.

Not long after the group walked, they were covered in snow. They looked up and saw the guy in front of them shoveling the snow.

The prince stared at the snow piled up everywhere on the road, and pursed his lips even tighter. "The snow in the capital will be cleared immediately. If I remember correctly, the snow has not been cleared since we entered the city."

Zhou Shuren said dimly, "Maybe they are all busy with disaster relief."

The prince had been listening to the news for the past few days. He took a deep breath and said, "Then I want to see how the disaster relief is done. Shall we go to the city gate?"

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, if it wasn't for the prince, he really wouldn't go out in this weather, and he would walk to the city gate, "Yeah."

In the capital, Zhulan rarely saw a lady with an unpleasant look on her face. "What's wrong? You look so unhappy as soon as you enter the room."

Xuemei took a deep breath and said, "Mu Lan's step-sister is here with her child. How dare she come to the capital? She did a lot to plot against Mu Lan."

Zhulan was surprised, "It's snowing heavily."

Xuemei, "The heavy snow blocked the road so we had to stay for a while. We entered Beijing yesterday after the road was cleared. Now you act like a good sister, and I get angry just looking at you."

"She's at your house?"

Xuemei's face looked better. "I was resting in the inn yesterday. I came to visit today but Mu Fan took me away after a short while. Otherwise, I would not be able to get out."

Zhulan said that the daughter of a noble family was not a person who would be rude. "If you don't want to see it, then don't see it. I, your mother, will support you. Don't get angry over something that is not worth it."

Xuemei smiled and said, "Mom, how old am I now?"

"No matter how old you are, you are still my daughter, right?"

Xuemei's anger disappeared completely. "Whose family doesn't have some annoying relatives? Mu Lan's step-sister is nothing, but she has some malicious intentions. You also know that Jiang Sheng has become famous in the past two years. Many people want to ask Jiang Sheng to be their master. In the final analysis, it is the benefits that Jiang Sheng brings that make people want him."

Zhulan knew about this. Someone had privately brought generous gifts to Jiang Sheng to become his disciple, but Jiang Sheng himself hadn't learned much, so it was impossible for him to accept a disciple.

If it weren't for the support of the Zhou family, his in-laws, Jiang Sheng didn't know how many people he had offended by refusing to accept the offer. Now it seems that Mu Lan's stepsister has also had this idea.

As Jiang Sheng's reputation grew, becoming his disciple could be a shortcut.

Zhu Lan, "Mu Lan and Mu Fan both have their own ideas. Jiang Ming's eldest daughter was ruthless, and they no longer have any feelings for each other. However, the step-sister is not an elder, and there is no pressure of filial piety, so it has no impact on Mu Lan and Mu Fan."

Xuemei: "I know."

Zhu Lan said with a smile: "Since you are here, take a look at the things I prepared for Miu Miu. This child likes books, so I specially asked Yu Die to memorize some books."

Of course, there are also books she compiled, which contain some practical knowledge points.

Among the girls of Sun Zi's generation, Yu Wen was the most gifted in studying, and Jiang Miao was the most gifted and diligent.

In recent years, Zhulan seldom attends banquets. Sometimes when she goes out, she will bring Jiang Miao with her. This child is too low-key. Many people only know that the Zhou family has a granddaughter, but not many people have actually seen her. Well, she is also a stay-at-home girl.

Zhulan took Jiang Miao out so that people could recognize her and avoid anyone bullying her granddaughter.

In Zhangzhou, Zhou Shuren was so tired when he reached the city gate that he couldn't even straighten his back. Walking in the snow was tiring to begin with, and it was windy, so even if the wind wasn't strong enough, walking against it was still tiring. The sore feeling was simply unbearable.

Zhou Shuren was an office nerd. His biggest daily exercise was walking into the palace to attend court. The rest of the time he sat. He had a carriage to go home. He had just walked all the way and his chest ached and his legs were in pain.

Finally, he couldn't help but sit on the snow pile, waving his hands and breathing heavily, "I can't do it anymore, I need to rest for a while."

It's amazing that he has been able to hold on until now with gritted teeth. If he wasn't afraid of taking a break and not wanting to move, he really wouldn't have been able to hold on.

The prince was also tired, but he felt much better after taking a break. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had a strong physique. Plus, he was young and recovered quickly. The prince's breathing had become regular.

The prince hurried to the outside of the city to check the situation, "Uncle, please take a rest first. I will go and take a look first."

Zhou Shuren looked at the guards who followed him and said, "Jinyan and Shenxing stay with me, and the others follow you."

If something really happened to the prince, no one could bear the consequences. If the emperor had not cleared up the hidden dangers and the emperor had not secretly cleaned up the problems several times in the past few years, the emperor would not have dared to let the prince leave the capital.
