Chapter 1385 The Revengeful Old Man

Zhulan asked again, "What about Liu Feng? What do you think of Liu Feng's whereabouts?"

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Changyi is already capable of arranging a son-in-law for him, so I don't have to worry about it anymore."

He can finally relax now that his sons no longer need him to lead them around.

Zhulan also smiled. The results of their years of training were showing. In the future, they only needed to control the general direction and they would not have to worry too much about other things.

Zhou Shuren felt much better on his shoulders, so he signaled his wife not to press anymore. He pulled her to sit down and said, "The Emperor wants to take action against the Wen family."

Zhulan, "Are you talking about Wen Rong's top scholar?"

"Well, the Wen family is already powerful enough. If it continues like this, the balance will be lost. The emperor did not force Wen Rong to win the top prize, which means that one of the sons of the Wen family will be eliminated."

Zhu Lan said, "This exchange is the loss of the Wen family. The sons of Lord Wen have worked hard for many years to get to where they are today. Wen Rong, the number one scholar, is indeed good, but he needs many years to slowly climb up. The emperor is using the number one scholar to weaken the power of the Wen family."

"No matter who suffers, the emperor will not suffer. Just wait, in a few days, Master Wen will be worried."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "The eldest branch of the Wen family has benefited. No matter which branch is weakened, there will be trouble within the Wen family."

Zhou Shuren did not sympathize with the Wen family. "That was their own fault. The Wen family has never restrained themselves. How could the emperor tolerate this?"

He also heard the prince jokingly say that more and more people were trying to curry favor with the Wen family, and that the Wen family was almost half the dynasty. Tsk tsk, who did the prince hear that from? It could only be the emperor!

The morning court session after the parade of the top scholar.

Zhou Shuren stopped Master Wen and said, "I'm here to congratulate you. Congratulations on having a great fortune."

The smile on Grandpa Wen's face deepened, "It's just my own child trying to make himself proud."

Zhou Shuren continued with the same smile, "The number one scholar Wen won the first prize, and Lord Wen celebrated lavishly. Now the fourth son of the Wen family won the first prize and the third prize, why did Lord Wen not do anything but keep a low profile? I'm still waiting to attend the wedding!"

The smile on Mr. Wen's face froze for a moment, but he quickly covered it up, "No need to drink at the wedding banquet. Our Wen family has already donated the money for the banquet, so that more people can enjoy the joy."

Zhou Shuren clasped his fists and said, "Lord Wen is so kind!"

Old Master Wen only felt a strong sense of irony, especially from Zhou Shuren's meaningful smile. Old Master Wen's luck told him not to be angry, but he was still furious!

Zhou Shuren vented his anger and hurried away, pulling Wang Ju, who was still watching the show. He had been remembering the trouble that Old Man Wen had caused him, and had been waiting to sarcastically return the favor today!

Zhou Shuren walked away, "Cool."

Wang Ju rolled her eyes in her heart, this old man holds a grudge very well, no matter how well Old Man Wen hides it, his face is still very stiff, Old Man Zhou is the best at being vindictive.

Wang Ju whispered, "I don't know how much money the Wen family donated. I'll go back and find out."

"It won't be less than ten thousand taels. What a pity! I did something earlier. It's too late to do anything now."

Wang Ju and Dad analyzed the Wen family's top scholar this time. Dad said that the Queen was pregnant again, and the Wen family won the top three prizes again. It was too glorious. "Lord Wen was so happy that he ignored too much. It's too late to wake up now."

"It's normal to ignore problems when you're happy. Anyone would go crazy with joy at that time."

The Queen is pregnant again. If it's a son and three legitimate sons, the throne will be secure. Who wouldn't be crazy to have such a happy event?

Wang Ju added, "My grandfather has arranged for Wang Wei."

Zhou Shuren said, "Which one?"

The Wang family would not let Wang Wei leave Beijing. He had already calculated this, so he didn't need to worry about this grandson-in-law.

In the eyes of the emperor, there is a big difference between the two grandsons-in-law. Liu Feng can be considered a member of the Zhou family, but Wang Wei cannot. Wang Wei is the legitimate grandson of Wang Ju, and the interests of the Wang family are always above everything else. But Liu Feng is different. Liu Feng is not close to the Gu family. The Gu family is considered to be dependent on the Zhou family. This son-in-law is half a son of the second house!

The Wang family did not hide it from Zhou Shuren, "Ministry of Industry, my father wanted Wang Wei to go to the Ministry of Industry."

"Nice place to go."

The Ministry of Industry in recent years is no longer the Ministry of Industry that was once at the bottom. The profits created by the Ministry of Industry and the official positions in the Ministry of Industry are also very popular.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan counted the makeup for her granddaughter. After confirming several times that nothing was missing, Zhulan personally took the makeup to the eldest daughter's house.

At the Jiang family's house, the yard was filled with boxes. It was Xuemei's first time marrying off a daughter and she lacked experience. Even with the help of her two sisters-in-law, she was still in a mess.

Xuemei looked at the dowry list and asked, "I clearly remembered to put the vase in the outermost box, how come I can't find it?"

Li, "Don't worry, take your time to look for it. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to find it."

Xuemei tried to recall it carefully but couldn't remember it. "I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just keep looking for it."

Zhulan came in and saw this scene, "We are at a loss as to what to do next."

Jiang Wangshi came with her in-laws, "Xuemei and Jiang Sheng went around adding dowry to Miaomiao. They added so much that it was difficult for me to organize it."

Zhulan looked at the boxes that were all opened in the yard and felt a headache. "I let her do whatever she wants and never tidied up every time she came back. Now she's worried. She deserves it."

Mrs. Jiang Wang would never say anything flattering to her daughter-in-law. Now that her son can earn money, she has never thought of putting on airs like a mother-in-law. She can't afford to do that. Her son still depends on his wife's family. Of course, she is not going to do that. Life is so good now.

Zhulan took the dowry list from the lady's hand. There were quite a lot of things. "Don't rush to sort it out. Put away the makeup I brought."

Xuemei was troubled by the dowry that filled the yard. "Mom."

"Don't think you can save your energy. Be good and put everything in order. You also have to rewrite your trousseau list."

Xuemei went to make the arrangements, and then Jiang Wangshi spoke, "My dear, you just take a rest and don't need to help. It will be ready in a moment."

Zhulan, "Okay, let's drink tea and watch Xuemei get ready."

She was not prepared to help at first. After Jiang Miao got married, Xuemei was allowed to handle the household affairs on her own. Xuemei had been living a carefree life for several years, but it was Jiang Miao who helped with the household affairs. It was time for Xuemei, as the queen, to experience the hard work of being a housekeeper.

Jiang Wangshi could not read and had not learned much in these years, but just by looking at the thick dowry list she could tell that it was a lot.

Jiang Wangshi thought that it was fortunate that her youngest son had only one concubine. If he had a few more concubines, all the family wealth he had accumulated would have been given away.

It took half a day to prepare Jiang Miao's dowry. Zhulan also had an idea of ​​her granddaughter's dowry. It was more than she expected. It seemed that most of the money Jiang Sheng earned from selling paintings was exchanged for dowry.

Because the Jiang family wanted to keep her for dinner, Zhulan sent someone to tell Zhou Shuren, and Zhou Shuren came directly after leaving the government office.

Jiang Sheng's parents became even more reserved. This was due to the difference in status. Although the two families were relatives, Jiang Sheng's parents could only visit the Zhou residence once during the Chinese New Year. Unless it was something important, they would never visit the Zhou family's residence.

Zhou Shuren tried his best to calm down, "My dear relatives, please stop standing. Everyone, please sit down."

Jiang Sheng's father was still nervous. During the New Year's visit to Zhou's house, his father-in-law wore casual clothes, but now he was wearing official uniform. "Okay, okay."
