Chapter 1362: Counting with Fingers

At Zhou's house, Xuemei stayed to have dinner with her mother. "Mom, I'm not going back today. I'll stay with you."

Zhulan waved her hand, "No need."

She really didn't need a child to accompany her. Apart from worrying about whether Zhou Shuren was eating well, she was busy with many things and didn't feel lonely.

In fact, she didn't feel lonely, because her own children took turns to accompany her every day. When Zhou Shuren just left, if she didn't want Li to leave, Li would have stayed with her and chatted with her all night.

Xuemei saw that her mother was indeed in good spirits. It was already dark outside. "Then I will stay with you for a while and then go back."

Zhulan, "It's getting dark now, you should go back early so Jiang Sheng won't worry."

Xuemei blushed slightly. Her son was married, and her husband's attitude towards her hadn't changed. "Yeah."

Her husband's reputation was growing, and she was afraid. She was not afraid that her husband would treat her badly or have any bad intentions, because he didn't dare to do that. But she was afraid that her husband would dislike her for not being well educated. Her mother said that women should enrich themselves, and she also read and wrote, but not very attentively.

As her husband went around, she became more attentive out of fear, and now she can write well and write some articles.

Her husband noticed her uneasiness and treated her better and better. The fear in her heart disappeared, but she continued to enrich herself. This made her more confident, and she also wanted to keep up with her husband's footsteps.

The inn in Zhangzhou has achieved remarkable results after a few days of disaster relief. The most obvious thing is that the seriously ill people have recovered visibly.

But the prince's brows were already furrowed, "The supplies delivered are not enough."

The supplies given by the emperor were in addition to the prepared supplies in Zhangzhou. Now there are problems with Zhangzhou's disaster prevention supplies, and the supplies given by the emperor are only enough to last for a few days.

Zhou Shuren said nothing and continued drinking tea with Lord Yan.

The Tongzhi of Zhangzhou also frowned. Zhangzhou is poor, don't expect to have much money in the account. The Tongzhi of Zhangzhou looked at Shangshu Zhou.

Zhou Shuren, "......"

You guys are discussing what he is doing. He is in charge of the country's money. He doesn't carry money with him when he goes out. Now he is just an ordinary old man!

The prince also noticed the gaze of the co-magistrate and retracted his gaze. In fact, he wanted to ask Minister Zhou for advice several times, but finally held back. His father said that relying on someone will form a habit, so he wanted to handle it himself.

The Tongzhi twitched the corner of his mouth. The prince didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to say anything either. If he had the courage, he would have dared to talk to Shangshu Zhou directly. However, they were all familiar with the Shangshu's legendary life, and it seemed that there was nothing that the Shangshu could not resolve, especially the issue of silver.

The prince looked at the lamp. It was already late. "You have worked hard these days. Come back."

The job of Tongzhi was indeed hard, firstly for the disaster victims, and secondly for performance. Now that the prefect has been taken down, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to show himself, his ancestors will look for him in his dreams.

Zhou Shuren waited for the deputy magistrate to leave, then said, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, but the food has been heated up several times."

The prince was indeed hungry, "Then serve the meal."

Zhou Shuren and Lord Yan didn't eat either. They were both waiting for the prince. Even though the prince asked them to eat first, they didn't move.

When the food was served, Zhou Shuren had a good appetite. He drank two bowls of mutton soup and ate two cakes.

The prince ate a lot as well. Dinner was not that complicated, so he ate a lot and there wasn’t much left.

The next day, the prince left the city. As soon as he got off the carriage, he was stunned and looked at the girl in front of him with a frown.

Zhou Shuren came down and exclaimed in his heart, everyone in Zhangzhou City knew that the prince was coming, it would be strange if they were not interested, this was a move.

Zhou Shuren hissed, and Master Yan asked, "Are you cold, Master?"

Zhou Shuren pointed ahead and said, "It feels cold just by looking at it. Is it windy today?"

It was the coldest month of winter, and it was a windy and cold day after a heavy snowfall. The girl in front was wearing too little.

Lord Yan looked over and remained silent; he also felt cold.

The girl in front is wearing a thin cape and she doesn’t even wear gloves. It’s obvious that the clothes she’s wearing are not thick cotton-padded clothes. Although she doesn’t bring much jewelry, isn’t she cold?

Zhou Shuren sighed twice, then approached the prince and said, "I would die for my youth and beauty. No, I would not regret dying for my bright future."

The prince had a sullen face at first, but after hearing these words, he felt like laughing!

Zhou Shuren continued to sigh, "This girl is quite skilled. If her face hadn't turned a little blue, she would really look like a white lotus in winter. So holy!"

Prince, "......"

Lord Yan, "......"

The co-magistrate who came with him looked at the Shangshu in amazement, so you are this kind of Shangshu Zhou!

Anyone who is smart can see through this trick. Not many people can be fooled by beauty.

Zhou Shuren spoke again, "Don't embarrass the girl in front of you. If we don't go over, her hands will be shaking for more than just a matter of seconds."

He was about to pass out. It was really cold today. He blew a few breaths of cold wind every time he spoke a few words.

The prince's mouth twitched, but he suppressed the smile.

The prince finally left, but unfortunately they delayed too long and the girl in front of him fainted before the prince left.

Prince, "......"

He really didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't help coughing twice.

The Tongzhi wanted to cover his face. He didn't remember whose girl this was, but he remembered which family the carriage came from. Don't expect the prince to take a second look at her. You'd better take your lady back home quickly.

The prince wanted to walk over, but when he saw the baskets of cakes in the shed and saw the size of the cakes, he blinked and stopped, "Well, you are so kind, take the young lady down quickly so she won't freeze."

Zhou Shuren twitched his beard. He could imagine that there would be several more sheds tomorrow.

The prince said quietly, "The people of Zhangzhou are still in need of cotton clothes!"

Lord Yan, "!!"

The prince sighed and walked away. Zhou Shuren patted the co-magistrate who had a dull look in his eyes and said, "I calculated with my fingers that there will definitely be a booth for distributing cotton clothes tomorrow."

Even if they can't make them in time, some people will find some old cotton-padded clothes that can keep warm.

The same knowledge, "!!"

The prince rolled his eyes in his heart, is there any need to calculate?

In the capital, the twins looked at Mr. Liu and asked, "You asked us to go for a stroll?"

The new friend we met yesterday is the second son of Lord Liu. Lord Liu introduced them to each other, and then the second son of Liu invited them to come out today.

They have been walking on the street for fifteen minutes, but they are freezing to death. If the Second Young Master Liu was not the son of my second uncle's colleague, they would have walked away long ago.

Young Master Liu reached out and touched his purse. His father gave him some money to make friends. "Let's go to the teahouse."

Jiang An, "Your voice is too soft, what did you say?"

Young Master Liu looked at the teahouse and took a deep breath, "Have some tea."
