Chapter 1503 Calculation

After hearing Zhulan's words, Li and Zhao looked at each other, but still couldn't figure it out. How could they have misunderstood her? Wasn't it just that mother was not going?

Zhulan didn't explain, so Suxuan asked, "Mom, are you still going?"

Zhulan hesitated for a moment and said, "Go ahead."

The Qi family has shown their attitude, and even if they are about to fall out, they still have to pretend.

Su Xuan took out the account book, "Mom, this is the orphanage's account book for the past seven days, please take a look."

Zhulan took it and looked through it. There were more and more children, including orphans from Jinzhou.

Pinggang is a port, and what it lacks the least is labor, and there are also many children trying to make a living there.

Housekeeper Wang found out that several children aged thirteen or fourteen came from the port of Pinggang. They had done hard labor at the port and attended a few classes at the orphanage. Then they sent news to Pinggang. Then, more children in their teens came one after another. It can be seen that these children are far-sighted and know the importance of literacy.

Because some of the kids were ambitious and smart, they were chosen to be team leaders, each in charge of ten kids.

Zhulan collected her thoughts and put down the account book, "Alas, there are too many children, and the food is consumed too quickly."

Li went to the orphanage diligently, "Mom, the greenhouse has been planted with vegetables, and the children have leveled the farmland, and are just waiting to be sown."

"Let Changli keep an eye on it. He will have to work hard during the spring ploughing."

Every year during the spring ploughing season, the eldest son is the busiest. Now he has to take care of the orphanage as well. The eldest son works the hardest during the spring ploughing season.

Li smiled and said, "It's not hard for my husband. He is always happy every time he goes to the orphanage. Mother, some of these children are really good. Do you want me to select a few of them to help you in the future?"

Zhu Lan's expression became serious. "No matter how outstanding the child is, our Zhou family cannot choose him."

Su Xuan reacted quickly and pointed to the sky, "Mom, what are you saying?"

Zhulan nodded, and the Queen Mother sent a message that the shipyard's masters had been selected, and once the children had some basic skills, they would come to screen those who were suitable for learning shipbuilding.

Li didn't dare to say more. She had heard her husband talk so much that she took it to heart.

In the teahouse near the Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi hadn't seen the Prince of Oger for a long time. He shook the teacup in his hand and asked, "Didn't the prince say he had something important to tell me?"

Prince of Oger, "I have been busy buying a manor recently. I finally bought a suitable manor, but then I found out that something happened to your mansion. Here are some medicinal herbs for your health. Please accept them."

Chang Yi's hand paused, looking at the herbs in the box, thinking that the Oge tribe really had a lot of good things, "You and I are not familiar with each other, so I can't accept such expensive herbs. I appreciate the prince's kindness."

The prince was not annoyed. He was used to being rejected. He personally poured tea for Lord Zhou and asked, "Does Lord Zhou's revenge make you feel better?"

Chang Yi curled his lips and said, "I don't understand what the prince is talking about."

Prince, "The young master of your house is injured. I am willing to help."

Chang Yi, "!!"

This person still hasn't given up on becoming his disciple? Pah, how stupid he is to personally hand over the handle to this ambitious prince.

The prince judged others by himself. If it were him, he would kill them all. Although the Zhou Marquis Mansion had slapped the Wen family in the face, the grandson of the Wen family was still fine and unharmed.

Chang Yi stood up and said, "I will pretend that I didn't hear what the prince said today. Please stop talking nonsense."

The prince looked at Zhou Changyi with disdain as he pushed the door open and left, pursing his lips and saying, "Come out."

Wen Li's face was very ugly, "Is this the method you mentioned? Zhou Changyi obviously didn't fall for it."

The prince lowered his eyes. If the Zhou Marquisate had not ignored him, he would not have chosen the Wen family. "The descendants of the Zhou Marquisate are too cautious."

Wen Li wanted to say something when the door was pushed open. Wen Li's pupils constricted and he couldn't believe what he saw.

Changyi had gone downstairs, but the servant beside him had good hearing and heard what the prince said. He knew there were still people inside, so he turned back. The servants beside their brothers were all masters. Under the puzzled gaze of the gatekeeper, the servants covered the other's mouth. Wow, what an unexpected gain.

Prince Oger looked at the guard who was being held down, his face turning blue and purple.

Chang Yi walked in, and under the gaze of the two, he reached out and picked up the box of herbs on the table. There was a hundred-year-old ginseng in it, and held it in his arms and said, "I suspect that you are colluding with each other to use the herbs to harm my nephew. I will send it to my father for inspection. If any problems are found, I will definitely ask my father to come to the palace to ask for an explanation."

The prince took a deep breath and said, "There is no problem with the medicinal materials."

Chang Yi naturally knew that this prince had ambitions but not the courage to do so. He glanced at the two of them coldly, then left with the box in his arms.

It was nearly half an hour later that Zhou Shuren saw the medicinal herbs. Coincidentally, the prince was also there.

Chang Yi told the prince what happened in the teahouse under his gaze, "I asked a doctor I know to look at the herbs. There is no problem. What do you think we should do with these herbs?"

The prince's mouth twitched. What medicinal material was problematic? It was obvious that he wanted to swallow the medicinal materials in revenge.

Zhou Shuren had already picked up the 100-year-old ginseng to examine it. "It's a good thing. These tribes are so wealthy that it makes people jealous. Since these herbs are used to nourish the body, you can take them back to the mansion."

Chang Yi's lips curled up slightly, seeing how calm his father was, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren added, "Don't send all of them to your eldest brother. Divide them among your rooms."

Chang Yi originally wanted to give the 100-year-old ginseng to his father, but seeing that his father had made up his mind, he could only say, "Okay."

The prince waited until Zhou Changyi left. He was not embarrassed. He did not have much affection for his grandfather and had been estranged from him over the years. The only person he had a good impression of was Wen Rong. This time, his plot was caught red-handed and he didn't know what to say.

It would be fine if he didn't know. Even if he knew, he would still say something. He pondered for a few seconds, "Wen Lie has an impatient temper. I think he needs to temper his temper. What do you think, Lord Zhou?"

"Very good."

It would be even better if the prince took action.

The prince acted quickly. As soon as he left the Ministry of Revenue, he sent someone to the Wen family to pass on a message. Old Master Wen quickly sent Wen Li to a manor outside the capital, saying that he was trying to temper his temper and could return to the capital when his temper improved. The prince had the deadline.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren talked about this matter, "It's a pity that Changyi was the only one there at the time. It would have been better if someone could have been brought in to testify."

In the absence of evidence, Chang Yi made a big fuss. The two insisted that there was no conspiracy and the argument could not reach a conclusion. If their brains reacted faster, they would say that Chang Yi was the first to retaliate against the Wen family, which only caused trouble for them.

Fortunately, the two were so frightened at the time that they didn't react, allowing Changyi to take the herbs away to vent his anger.

Zhulan, "Wen Lie is from the second house. Do you think Master Wen knows about this?"

"I don't think he knows. He won't cause trouble for us at this time. He's afraid that I will do something to Wen He."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "The second branch of the Wen family hates Ming Rui to the core."

"Um."
