Chapter 1487 I am the most powerful wife

Zhulan felt like she was ten years younger because of the job. She was full of energy and in a good mood. She had a smile on her face the whole time. When she saw that she had scared her sons, she felt even better.

Chang Yi saw that his mother was waiting for his reply, so he spoke carefully, "Mom, are you really going to do something bad?"

Zhu Lan said in a gloomy tone, "Why, do you also think that I shouldn't do this job?"

Chang Yi was so scared when he heard the tone that he shook his head, "No, in my son's heart, my mother is the most powerful. The Queen Mother chose you to be in charge, which shows her wisdom!"

Mingrui turned his head to the side, his shoulders shaking a little, his father was full of desire to survive!

Zhulan looked at Changzhi. There were only two sons at home. Changzhi saw his mother's eyes scanning him and spoke quickly, "Mom, you have been buried in the secular world for too long. I am happy for you to hear the decree today."

Mingjia looked at his father in surprise, bah, Dad is also good at talking, he didn’t say anything before just because he was too lazy to think about it!

Zhulan felt relieved after hearing what her son said, "So you support me in doing this job?"

Chang Yi and Chang Zhi replied in unison, "Son supports us."

After the two brothers finished speaking, they looked at each other and saw the desire to survive in each other's eyes.

Mingyun has been observing his grandmother. The grandmother of today is the most vivid in his memory. His grandmother is very happy to do her job. She does not have any anxiety about challenging the world. Instead, she is full of confidence and looks like everything is under control.

Mingyun looked at his grandfather again. His eyes were always on his grandmother. There was pride in his eyes. Mingyun smiled. His grandmother was someone who could edit books. He was also proud of her. She was the first woman to serve in a government office since the founding of the dynasty.

Chang Yi said, "Mom, if you need any help from me, please tell me."

As a son, he was already able to stand on his own feet. He knew very well that his mother would face obstacles while working as a government official. Even people in the capital were ready to make fun of his mother so as to add insult to injury. To attack his mother would be to attack his father. There were too many people waiting to make trouble.

Chang Zhi said, "Mom, me too. If you need anything from me, just tell me."

Zhulan was very pleased and happy that her and Shuren's teaching was successful. The support of her family made her heart warm. She was not afraid even though there were swords and sabers outside the house.

It was getting late, and everyone went back to rest. Zhulan was still excited, "My granddaughters especially adore me now."

Shuren smiled and said, "Look, I'm going to make you happy."

"This is a huge change. How can I not be excited? On the other hand, I am really surprised that the emperor would choose me. I have to admire his broad mind. His decree breaks the rule that men can only serve as officials."

Zhou Shuren, "In the eyes of the Retired Emperor, we have always been pawns, pawns to weaken the aristocratic families. I don't deny the Retired Emperor's broad mind, but the decree is full of calculations. A woman serving as a servant, and the wife of Marquis Zhou, is using you to attract too much attention."

Zhulan, "The fact that I can be used means that my ability is recognized."

Shuren laughed, "Yes, not everyone can be a chess piece. You are now a clever chess piece in the hands of the royal family."

Zhulan was not unhappy, she smiled and said: "Several granddaughters support me, what surprised me is Yuwen, who doesn't care about anything, is actually ready to help me."

"Oh, this is not Buddhism?"

Zhulan, "Yuwen is the one who talked the most today. It's rare to meet someone who is interested in you."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Lan shook her head, "I'll go explore the way first. Now everyone is staring at me. Wait until I have my feet firmly on the ground and everything is in order."

"Okay."

At the next morning court session, the emperor read out the empress dowager's decree in the court, stating that private orphanages would not occupy court resources and that the orphanages would be able to operate on their own in the future. After the emperor's interpretation, Zhulan became more receptive to the women's service.

Of course, most people still find it unbearable. Women serving as officials challenges the nerves of patriarchy. Lord Li stood up and criticized Zhou Shuren for not managing his family strictly.

Can Zhou Shuren tolerate this? Of course not. Anyone who is dissatisfied with his wife must be torn apart.

Zhou Shuren didn't even ask the Lin family for help, he stood up and retorted, "Does this Marquis eat the rice of Lord Li's family? Or do I rely on Lord Li's money to support my family?"

Lord Li was stunned for a few seconds, frowning, "No."

Zhou Shuren's tone was full of disdain. "Since there is none, Lord Li, you'd better shut up. It is not your turn to speak about how I manage my household."

Lord Li was furious, "I have good intentions."

"Stop, Lord Li, please stop insulting my good intentions. Lord Li, if you want to say that I am not good at managing my family, you should look at your own family first. Those who favor concubines and kill their wives should shut up. Don't let me peel off your last face."

Everyone thought, you have already said that Lord Li favors his concubine and kills his wife, so why are you giving Lord Li any face?

Seeing Lord Li's face flushed and his hands trembling, Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes and added, "Lord Li, don't focus on women. I advise you to focus more on your own business and stop taking advances on your salary. I don't know how Lord Li is doing. I am worried about you."

The prince looked at Lord Li, who was about to fall, with sympathy. It was too tragic.

Zhou Shuren didn't bother to pay attention to Lord Li, who was just a chess piece for testing. He looked at everyone and said, "Speaking of managing the family, my wife deserves half of the credit for my current status. I know some people are jealous of me for having a wife who can make money and also jealous of my wife for educating her daughter. Tsk tsk, envy is useless. My wife is unique."

Then he said to the emperor: "The Queen Mother has a keen eye for talent. I am honored to have done so. Your Majesty's grace is so great that I will never refuse even if I die."

The emperor curled his lips and said, "I personally wrote the order of my mother. The imperial family admires Yang's ability."

Now we are all studying the books compiled by Yang. The more we learn, the more we admire him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the court was in an uproar. How could Madam Zhou be valued by the royal family? What abilities did Madam Zhou have that they didn't know about?

The emperor was also unhappy. He had read out his mother's order at the morning court, and someone else jumped out. Ha, that's good.

The Lin family looked at Zhou Shuren sullenly, because of the engagement, he naturally had to help Zhou Hou's Mansion. In the end, Zhou Hou fought back by himself and controlled the whole court. Lord Lin was very happy, and the marriage with Zhou Hou made people feel at ease!

Lord Yu quickly glanced at the emperor. Today the emperor came to support Zhou Houfu. This emperor's grace and trust made him shocked!

The emperor touched the beads in his hand and ignored the discussions below. Breaking the rules requires heavy hands. Yang was the one favored by his father and him. It was good that Yang attracted the attention of the noble families and thus ignored the nature of the orphanage.

After the morning court session, Zhou Shuren looked like he didn't want anyone to come in. Old Master Wen walked over with his people as if he hadn't seen him. "I admire Lord Zhou's magnanimity."

Zhou Shuren, "What the old man meant is that your heart is not as broad as mine. Can I understand that?"

Master Wen, "...Master Zhou, aren't you afraid of what people say? Aren't you afraid that it will harm your reputation?"

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes and asked, "Have you ever heard your wife brag, old man?"
