Chapter 1502: Misunderstanding
When Zhulan found out about this, she was not surprised by the emperor's attitude. The emperor would not allow Wen Rong to touch anyone, just like Mingyun and Mingteng. The emperor would not allow the Wen family to go too far because it would destroy the checks and balances that the emperor wanted.
Even if the eldest grandson of the Wen family is mediocre, he is still the eldest legitimate grandson and represents the face of the Wen family. The Zhou family just broke their leg in Minghui and does not have a seniority. In the eyes of the emperor, they are not outstanding. The emperor followed Shuren's wishes today. This is the emperor's attitude. It is too much and impossible to stand on the side of the Zhou family.
As for the Wen family, they had been slapped in the face by the Zhou family, and the emperor's attitude was also shaken. If they were slapped again, they would be in big trouble in the capital.
Zhulan didn't say much, because she knew that once the Wen family started it, they wouldn't stop. The Zhou family's counterattack was shock. They said to the Li family, "When the children come back, control them. Bring more people with you when you go out in the future."
Li was really scared. Once bitten by a snake, one will never be afraid again. "Mom, I will definitely warn them."
Zhao was also afraid that they had too little experience. "Mother, have you written a letter to my third brother?"
Zhulan thought to herself that Zhao was still very considerate. "I wrote it. I wrote the letter last night and sent it out of the capital."
Although Chang Lian and his wife have no children, she is afraid that someone might have intentions towards Chang Lian. No matter how low the possibility is, she still has to tell her third son to be more careful in the future so as not to be caught.
In the Hanlin Academy, Mingyun ignored the looks on his face and continued to calmly organize the documents, which he would bring with him to the palace tomorrow.
Liu Song came over and asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Mingyun shook his head, "I don't know."
He didn't lie. Grandpa had talked to his second uncle last night. He really didn't know that grandpa had done such a big thing. He felt sad that grandpa's words could not impress the royal family, which only meant that the chips given were not enough. It can be seen that the chips given by grandpa are sufficient, plus the value of the Zhou family itself, the emperor helped the Zhou family to slap the face of the Wen family.
Liu Song's father had analyzed Zhou Hou many times. He said Zhou Hou protected his people and he saw it today. He said jokingly, "If I plot against you someday, Zhou Hou will not let me go."
Mingyun sneered, "We still don't know who is scheming against whom."
Liu Song's heart ached, "You are really not subtle."
"You went crazy first."
If you want to plot against him, you better practice more.
Liu Song smiled. He felt sorry for her too. He wished Wen Rong could leave the Hanlin Academy.
At night, Zhou Shuren went home with a little smile on his face. Zhulan, "Who offended you?"
Zhou Shuren went into the house to change into his official uniform. "Today the Emperor left me alone and told me to stop."
Zhu Lan reacted quickly, "The emperor is afraid that you will attack the eldest grandson of the Wen family."
"Well, he's afraid that if anything happens to Wen He, the Wen family will fight us to the death."
Zhu Lanxin knew that Zhou Shuren had made up his mind. He didn't want to kill Wen He, but he wanted to take revenge on her. She was unwilling to accept this. "By the way, I just received an invitation from the Qi family. After what happened today, the Qi family won't welcome me, so I won't go."
She knew how favored Qi Li was in the Qi family. She was the youngest son of Lord Qi and was the apple of his eye. She could only wait to be besieged. The women of the Qi family were not easy to mess with.
Zhou Shuren didn't want his wife to be angry, so he said, "Well, don't go."
Zhulan, "Then I will send the post back."
"good."
Zhu Lan asked again, "When will Wen He and Qi Li leave?"
Zhou Shuren counted the days, "We should try to open up as much land as possible before the spring plowing. The two of them will leave for the cocktail party in a few days. I have given them a minimum standard for their trip. If they fail to meet it, there will be punishment."
Not only did he want to cheat people, he was also afraid that these people would slack off and not work hard, and then the people would suffer if they didn't get any food.
Zhulan curled her lips and said, "Your suggestion is very good."
"Yes, the Emperor agrees as well."
Anyway, the emperor looked at him deeply several times after listening to his additional suggestions. In fact, he had written very comprehensively in the folding paper, that the land reclamation should be managed in the form of a farm, and that farming and breeding should not be hindered, etc. Despite his suggestions, the two of them were still making trouble. Tsk tsk, they were courting death.
At the next morning court session, Zhou Shuren received the spotlight. The emperor depended on him for the throne, and he was the first to prove his integrity to the Wen family, and he succeeded. Some paid, while others felt that the matter was not over.
Lord Wen originally wanted to ask for leave, but was afraid that he would not come, as if he was afraid of the Zhou family, so he went to court with a gloomy face.
Zhou Shuren was not surprised and smiled at Old Master Wen. He did not intend to say anything else. When the old man was already furious, there was no need to add fuel to the fire, lest the old man lose his composure.
The emperor issued an edict regarding food and added two auxiliary officials who were familiar with agriculture.
After the morning court session, Lord Wen didn't even look at Zhou Shuren and walked away with a green face.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. Everyone avoided him today. Wang Ju came over and said, "My father said you shouldn't be so radical."
Zhou Shuren, "You Wang family are used to it and have conservative ideas, but it doesn't suit me. If I don't get shocked once, you will see the Marquis' Mansion in vain next time."
Wang Ju was silent. Yes, the Wang family rarely offends people. It is not easy to be neutral. "Hey, you are right."
Zhou Shuren walked slowly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Wang Ju smiled, "My father has chosen an auspicious day to retire."
Zhou Shuren didn't stop, "Very good."
Although it was earlier than he thought.
Wang Ju whispered, "Originally I wanted my father to attend the court today, but he said that since our two families are married, if he stood in the court today it would only irritate the Wen family, so he didn't come."
Zhou Shuren, "You still have a lot to learn."
“Yes, I do have many shortcomings.”
His father also said that the Zhou family is an ally of the Wang family, and if the Zhou family shows their teeth, the Wang family will have to keep a low profile as much as possible. The aristocratic families are afraid of their resources being taken away. Both families are strong, and if they challenge too many people, the Zhou family will face greater pressure, so his father retired early.
Zhou Shuren asked again, "After you split up, will the other two families still live with you?"
Wang Ju's tone lightened up. "No, according to the rules of our Wang family, after the family splits up, only the head of the family can live in the ancestral home, and the others must move out."
He finally didn't have to listen to his brother's resentment. Their eldest branch had a good marriage with the Zhou family, and he was tired of the sour tone of the second and third branches.
"Congratulations."
Wang Ju said happily, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Lord Yu originally wanted to say a few words to Marquis Zhou, but unfortunately Lord Wang got there first, so Lord Yu could only follow from a distance. He envied the casualness with which Lord Wang spoke to Marquis Zhou.
At the same time, after listening to his son's account of the accident, Mr. Yu also envied the cohesion and sense of responsibility of the Zhou family's descendants.
Zhou Family, Zhulan looked at the post that was brought back, "Did the Qi Family confiscate it?"
Steward Ding nodded. "They sent it over and returned it to you, saying that you must attend."
Zhulan raised her eyebrows while touching the post. Li asked, "Mother, why do they insist on inviting you?"
Zhulan: "Maybe they will misunderstand my action of deleting the post."
