Chapter 1386 Twins

Zhou Shuren regretted not eating well in the evening. When he got home, Zhou Shuren asked the kitchen to make wontons.

Zhulan said as she changed her clothes, "I told you not to go over there, but you came straight to me in your official uniform."

Zhou Shuren, "My in-laws have been in Beijing for many years, but they have become less courageous."

"Don't you see the aura you have? Our children often come into contact with you. Why don't you try with someone else's child? Besides, our family doesn't care about what the Jiang family did, but Jiang Sheng's parents will always remember it and will only feel more guilty and afraid when they see you."

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and said, "Since they still care, I thought they didn't care anymore."

"No, as long as our family is doing well, they will only care more and more."

Zhou Shuren spread his hands and said, "I won't come to your house in person in the future."

Then he asked, "When will Jiang Ming and his wife arrive in Beijing?"

"I heard from Xuemei today that it will arrive in three days."

Zhou Shuren said, "I thought Jiang Mufan would stay in the capital after the wedding. I'm surprised that he wants to go back to Zhou Village."

After seeing the Zhou family’s resources, he wants to go back. This kid is quite ambitious.

Zhu Lan, "This child is also the result of many considerations. Besides, there is Jiang Ming as a father, and Mu Fan also has his own resources."

Although he could not help in the officialdom, Jiang Ming's status as a Jinshi was real and was enough to teach his own son.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Ming and his wife arrived. Zhulan met the couple. They looked very happy and in high spirits. They looked a lot younger.

At the court, the third son of the Wen family was demoted and expelled from the capital. Some people who had guessed it were not surprised, but those who did not guess the emperor's thoughts were shocked.

The youngest son of the Wen family has already surpassed the eldest son of the Wen family and has considerable power in his hands. Now he has been demoted and expelled from the capital, which is a devastating blow to the proud youngest son of the Wen family.

At today's morning court, some eyes seemed to be fixed on Old Master Wen. The old master had aged a lot after taking a few days off.

Some of the ministers who had become impatient were all in a panic. The emperor was really ruthless. The queen was still pregnant, and the Wen family had just produced a top scholar in the imperial examination!

Zhou Shuren also looked at the emperor's fierce behavior. This clean and mature emperor would not allow anyone to challenge his majesty.

After the morning court session ended, there were still many people following Old Master Wen. Zhou Shuren left quickly with his hands behind his back. He didn't want to stay and attract the old master's fire.

Wang Ju did not attend court today. Zhou Shuren was accompanied by Qiu Yan. Qiu Yan kept his head down when he left the palace. Only after he left the palace and got on the carriage did he become energetic.

Qiu Yan whispered, "Your Excellency knows that my home is very close to the Wen family."

"Yeah, you told me."

Qiu Yan continued, "The Wen family has been making a lot of noise these days. It is said that Elder Wen's arrogant youngest son vomited blood."

"Is there more?"

Qiu Yan nodded, "It shouldn't be fake. We called a doctor that night. Old Master Wen's youngest son looks at people with his nose when he walks. Being demoted and expelled from the capital was a huge blow to him."

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "Everything that happened today is the result of the causes that were planted in the past. If he hadn't done anything shameful, if he hadn't been caught with a whip, it would be hard to make a fuss about him. If he wants to blame someone, he should blame himself, not others."

You jump the highest, who else would the emperor stare at if not you?

Qiu Yan, "This young master will not look for reasons within himself. This time, the Third Branch of the Wen Family hates the First Branch to death."

Zhou Shuren remained silent. The emperor's plan had worked. Lord Wen had three legitimate sons. He valued the eldest son and loved the youngest son. Otherwise, Lord Wen's youngest son would not have been promoted to the same high-ranking official position as his eldest son.

Lord Wen's youngest son was unwilling to give up, so he still left the capital after he recovered. He did not take his wife and children with him to take up his post, but left alone in a carriage.

It was a happy event for the Zhou family. Their granddaughter got married on an auspicious day. It was a pity that Zhulan, who loved bookishness, passed away, and they married off another girl.

Xuemei was the first to marry a daughter of a noble family. When the daughter of a noble family left home and she could no longer see him, Xuemei could not help but wipe away her tears.

Jiang Sheng's father also had tears in his eyes, and his tears fell without being held back.

Well, the couple cried to each other, causing Jiang Lei, the youngest in the family, to cry too.

Zhulan, "......"

What a familiar scene! The eldest couple also sent their daughter off to get married in the same way.

Now that her granddaughter has been sent away, Zhulan is pulling Zhou Shuren back home.

On the way back home, Zhulan suddenly smiled. Zhou Shuren asked in surprise, "Why are you so happy?"

"Recently, the rumors about our daughter have been spreading more and more, and people are believing them. Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Hu believe them to the extreme. Yu Lu is almost worshipped by Mrs. Tao."

Zhou Shuren's beard twitched, "Minghui, these rascals."

Zhulan laughed even louder, "Yeah, who would have thought that so many people would reply to the letters from a few boys."

She was stunned when the matchmaker came to her house a few days ago. They have climbed to such a position, but they will not come directly to the house to discuss marriage. They will meet each other privately and go through the formalities only, to avoid being embarrassed by coming suddenly. Everyone has to save face.

Later she found out about the rumor that she could bring good luck to her husband. She was speechless at the time. When Tao came to ask her about it, she explained it to him. But when Tao found out where the rumor came from, she became more confident in bringing good luck to her husband.

Zhou Shuren, "If Yu Lu gives birth to a son, you'll see more people coming to our house to ask for her hand in marriage."

"Yudie and the others are still young, so there's no need to rush."

Zhu Lan added, "I heard from the old lady of the Lin family that the Luo family that the Wen family had introduced to Wen Rong was unsuccessful."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Luo family, this is not good either."

Zhu Lan asked, "Have you seen Wen Rong? There have been rumors that Wen Rong was beaten by his uncle and his face was almost disfigured. I don't know if it's true."

"It should be true."

"What a huge hatred this is."

Zhou Shuren sneered, "Master Wen's legitimate son will never be able to return to the capital. He can only serve as an honest official in the local area. How big of a grudge do you think this is?"

Zhulan was speechless, "It was obviously my fault."

"Let's not talk about the Wen family anymore, let's talk about Jiang Ping and Jiang An."

Zhulan asked, "I would have liked to ask you if you didn't tell me. These two children disappeared after the New Year. Every time I asked you, you were vague. Now that you bring it up, are you going to tell me?"

Zhou Shuren hummed, "These two children look too much alike. Changyi wanted to train them. When the emperor found out, he asked them about it. They were brave enough to agree. By the time I found out, the two children had already been taken away by the emperor's people."

He sighed and continued, "The emperor told me vaguely, so I told you vaguely. I asked the emperor privately about Jiang Miao's marriage, and the emperor told me that the twins had already gone to sea."

Zhulan almost fell over after hearing this, which frightened Zhou Shuren, "Don't scare me."

Zhu Lan's eyes were blazing with anger. "Why didn't these two brats discuss this with their families? Working for the Emperor is easy, but you have to face life-threatening situations all the time!"
