Chapter 1436: Chicken Feather Basket

The next day, the army set out. Although they did not pass through the city gate, standing on a high place, one could still see the endless army.

Zhulan was very sorry that she could not see the army's march in person. It was not the special effects in the TV series, nor the extras. The army left before dawn. Today, the city gate to the northeast is locked and only officials can pass.

Zhou Shuren didn't see it either, he was very busy.

Minghui, a boy from the Zhou family, wanted to go and see it. He became interested when he knew Mingteng could leave the city.

Unfortunately, although Ming Teng is very nice to his younger brothers, he is also ruthless when it comes to assignments. Ming Hui's mind is suppressed and he can only go to the academy honestly.

In the academy, Minghui was scolded by the teacher for not paying attention in class, and after class he lay on the table without moving.

Mingjia, "Fourth brother, do you still want to be scolded by the teacher?"

Ming Hui raised his head and said, "I wanted to watch the army go to war, but now I can't. I don't have the energy at all."

Mingjia rested her chin on her hand and said, "I think so."

"What do you think?"

"I think Fourth Brother deserves a beating since he was a child."

His mother also has a hot temper. She would rather hit him than say anything. He has been beaten a lot since he was a child. If you ask him who he envied the most in the family, he would definitely say it was his fourth brother.

Fourth brother grew up so fast. As his face grew bigger, he looked more and more like grandma. Because of his appearance, fourth brother was rarely beaten since he was a child.

Minghui sat up straight, "You're too much, Zhou Xiaowu, I've been very nice to you."

They are of similar age. He has always dragged Xiaowu to follow his uncle since they were young. He has always protected Xiaowu, but Xiaowu actually hopes that he will be beaten.

Mingjia curled her lips, "You are the most willful one in our family. Isn't it because you can't see the expedition? Look at you, you don't listen carefully in class, and you don't take the teacher's scolding seriously. It makes me angry just looking at you."

This is what my aunt and uncle are used to.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren looked at the retired emperor in silence. The retired emperor sat there motionless and just said one sentence when he came, telling him not to pay any attention to him.

The emperor was a living being, how could he ignore it? Especially since the emperor sighed from time to time, which made him annoyed, and he kept exerting force on the hand holding the brush.

Zhou Shuren put down his brush and pressed his forehead, "What is the matter with the emperor?"

The Emperor raised his eyes, "Are you done?"

"no."

The emperor drank his tea and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll stay here for a while."

Prince Liang is also his son. He values ​​and cares about his legitimate son. The other sons are also his biological sons. He is really old, and his heart is getting softer and softer. Yesterday, Prince Liang's mansion was filled with tears. He could not remember what his concubine looked like. Because of Prince Liang's health, it seemed as if Prince Liang's mother and wife had left and would never come back.

The reason why Prince Liang is in this situation today is that he was too cruel in his early years. Prince Qi and Prince Chu did not take action against the Crown Prince's backyard. Only Prince Liang took action against the Crown Princess and also took action against Rong Chuan.

The emperor kept all of these in mind, and some traces could not be erased.

Seeing that the emperor had remained silent, Zhou Shuren did not sigh this time and he just didn't care. He could guess why the emperor was like this. He had no sympathy for King Liang. Today's consequences were the result of the past. Rongchuan and Changlian were the work of King Liang!

Zhou Shuren touched the brush. The emperor would not allow any mistakes. If it affected the war, it would lead to losses for the Zhou family. It was good to do so. He just watched Prince Liang struggle.

Prince Liang returned safely this time. Even with his military achievements as protection, the Prince Liang's Mansion still had to live cautiously.

When Zhang Jinghong came in and saw the emperor emeritus, he was stunned for a moment. He had been a prince and his feelings towards the emperor emeritus were too complicated.

In recent years, he had even fewer opportunities to see the retired emperor. When he saw him today, he found that the retired emperor had aged a lot.

Zhang Jinghong hurriedly greeted him, "I have seen the Emperor."

The emperor looked at Zhang Jinghong. He was a smart man. Only smart people could live long. "Well, you guys are busy."

Zhang Jinghong held the account book and said, "Sir, this was just checked."

Zhou Shuren looked through the account book and checked the money. As soon as the army set out, the money flowed out like water. "Well, put it here."

Zhang Jinghong didn't want to stay in the room any longer and left quickly.

The emperor and others left and said, "I heard that he did a good job."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "He was raised as a prince since he was young. His knowledge and vision are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He has helped me a lot in the past few years."

The emperor stroked his beard. His son had the same attitude as him. They didn't care about the orphans of the previous dynasty. There were only benefits to keeping Zhang Jinghong. "Well, he is indeed a sensible and obedient person."

Zhou Shuren moved his ears, so the emperor kept staring at Zhang Jinghong.

After school in the afternoon, Zhulan was surprised to hear Qingxue's words, "You said that Minghui and Mingjia were having a quarrel, and neither of them paid any attention to the other?"

Qingxue nodded, "Yes."

"Go and ask why."

Changzhong was not at home. The two brothers had the best relationship, so it was surprising that they had a quarrel.

Soon, Zhulan found out the reason. It was not Mingjia's fault. Minghui was a smart kid and knew how to use his looks. The eldest wife had always followed Minghui's wishes since he was a child. Today, he was not listening carefully because he was not satisfied. This was not acceptable.

Zhulan stood up and picked up the feather duster. She touched the feathers on it and turned to hand it to Qingxue, "Give the feather duster to Li."

Qingxue thought that the Fourth Young Master was in trouble.

Minghui was indeed in a miserable state. Li couldn't beat or scold Minghui. She had been holding back a lot of anger over the years. This time, when she got the chicken feather whisk, Li treated it as if he had the Imperial Sword. After sending Qingxue away, she started beating him with the chicken feather whisk.

Minghui turned around and tried to run, but his father was standing at the door and closed it.

Chang Li stood at the door, rolled up his sleeves and said to his wife, "When you get tired, let me take over."

This brat has relied on his intelligence and looks to betray his father many times over the years. He must be taught a lesson today.

Minghui regretted it. He shouldn't have been angry at Mingjia for what she said about him. He wanted to give Mingjia the cold shoulder and let him know how important he, the fourth brother, was. But his grandmother threw a feather duster at him instead!

Ming Hui was very angry, "Mom, Dad, I was wrong, I admit it, I shouldn't get angry just because I don't want to, I shouldn't get angry at Ming Jia who did it for my own good, I was wrong, ouch, stop hitting me, Mom, it hurts."

He has a delicate and tender body, which is the result of not being beaten since childhood. He is not as tough as his second brother.

As for my eldest brother, my parents will only listen to him and will never fight with him.

After hearing this, Li became even angrier. "So you know everything, but you're still angry and ignoring Mingjia. Very well, I'll teach you a lesson today."

In the fourth room, Su Xuan felt that her son was right and that he was doing it for his brother's good, and that Ming Hui did deserve a lesson.

The maid came in and told Su Xuan what was going on in the first room. Su Xuan was amused. "Look, your grandmother also supports punishing Xiao Si."
