Chapter 1506: All the Children and Grandchildren Are Well

Zhou Shuren pushed away the people who were surrounding him and squatted in front of Old Master Wen. He sighed in his heart and pressed his philtrum with his muddy hand. Old Master Wen's eldest son was stunned for a few seconds and watched his father's mouth covered with mud.

After pressing twice vigorously, Zhou Shuren quickly let go of his hand, "The old man is really dizzy, go get the doctor."

Everyone, "......"

Who would dare to pretend to be dizzy at this time? He was actually dizzy, and Duke Zhou just wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.

The prince came over and was still concerned, after all, he was his hired help, so he quickly signaled the imperial physician to come and take a look. The imperial physician was the real expert, and after a few injections, the old man woke up.

The doctor stood up and said, "The old man is too tired and needs to rest."

The prince knew the purpose of his father's visit. He wanted the ministers to treasure their food so that they could save money. He didn't really want anyone to get sick from working themselves to death. "Send Lord Wen back to rest."

Old Master Wen stared at Zhou Shuren and held his breath. He was exhausted because of trying to scare Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Old man, you don't need to look at me. I didn't save you, so you don't need to thank me."

Prince, "......"

Everyone, "......"

It was almost dark when the farming was finished. The military officers had enough strength to persevere, but the civil officials were as tired as grandsons even with gritted teeth. When the emperor said they could go back, many people lay on the ground to rest without any hesitation.

Zhou Shuren had a severe backache and his eyes were fixed on the emperor. The emperor was in great physical strength and took the prince away as if nothing had happened.

Chang Yi ran over and squatted down, "Dad, you must be tired, your son will carry you back."

Zhou Shuren felt sorry for his son, "You've been working all afternoon, just help me walk back."

Chang Yi smiled and said, "Dad, we both have a foundation in martial arts. I'm not tired. Dad, I'll carry you back."

Zhou Shuren rubbed his waist and walked two steps. His legs were also uncomfortable. Seeing that his son was really fine, he climbed onto his son's back amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

Chang Yi weighed his father. This was the first time in so many years that he was so close to his father. He felt distressed as a son. "Dad, go home and have two eggs to replenish your body. Also, eat more dried meat. I will make you a dish of your favorite stir-fried meat in the evening. Your son will cook it for you personally."

Zhou Shuren did so much work, he was indeed hungry, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Wang Ju was supported by Chang Zhi. She envied Chang Yi and Chang Zhi. These two kids were so strong. "Chang Yi can cook?"

Chang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Wang, my barbecue is the best in the house. Would you like to try it when you have a chance?"

"I'll definitely go try it the next time you have a day off."

Zhou Shuren attracted another wave of hatred for himself, especially since most of the adults brought snacks. They also wanted to eat meat, and the piece of meat they were given was too little.

Back in the courtyard, Zhou Shuren enjoyed his sons' filial piety. One of them cooked, and the other boiled water for Wang Ju to soak his feet. While soaking his feet, he said to Wang Ju, "You are benefiting from my sons."

Wang Ju, "......"

Look how proud this old man is!

The next day, many people did not get up. They were all pampered and could not bear the hardship of farming. They were afraid of the imperial power, so some of them were carried to the fields by servants.

It was rare for Zhou Shuren to walk into the fields by himself, and he waved to everyone in a good mood.

In the capital, Tao and Yulu came back together. Li held her grandson tightly in her arms. Tao was worried, "I didn't sleep well last night. How can my father make a living?"

"I'm thinking of you all."

Tao said in a low voice: "My father-in-law said that the emperor wanted the noble families to save food, so he started farming."

"Mr. Wang is very far-sighted. Shuren also said so."

Tao frowned, "How come life is getting worse and worse? I don't know how much we have to save."

Zhulan, "Well, we'll know when the time comes. I'm just afraid that some people want to show off."

There is always a lack of people who want to show off. They don't really have much ability, but they are good at sneaking around.

Tao thought of the families who married grassland girls, "They are too purposeful and too annoying."

Zhulan guessed what Tao was thinking, "I heard that these families have turned their fortunes around. Not only have they bought maids and women, they've also bought land."

"It's all the dowry money of a few tribal girls. How dare they do that? They are so shameless."

"Your face is worth a few dollars, just get the real deal."

When Mrs. Tao saw Yu Lu and Mrs. Li carrying the children out, she said, "Someone asked me about the two children of your fourth wife."

Zhulan, "......Oh, what a headache."

Tao, "I have always envied you for having so many children and grandchildren. Now that I see you worrying about your marriage, I feel relieved."

"There's no rush for the two kids."

Tao smiled and said, "Your Yuwen is not well-known, and more attention is paid to Mingjia."

The eldest wife, Li, stared in surprise, "Is this true?"

Yu Lu was embarrassed. "My period was a few days late this month. I thought it was because my husband was away from Beijing on business and I was emotionally unstable. I secretly calculated the date and it should be due. But I have to wait and see the doctor again."

Li's surprised grandson was no longer interested. She stood up and circled around her daughter, "If this baby is still a son, then I can rest assured."

Yu Lu, "Mom, my daughter is also very good."

"Who made your in-laws lack a son? It's better to have a son, sir. My daughter is really good."

Yu Lu's face flushed, "Mom, keep your voice down."

Ran Wan smiled and said, "Mother is happy, because Minghui's mother hasn't been so happy for a long time."

The mother-in-law knew that Minghui's action was right, but the mother still felt uncomfortable. She understood her mother-in-law.

Liu Jia had a faint smile on her face. Her sister-in-law was pregnant again. It would be great if she was pregnant. She wouldn't be lonely anymore. Every time she saw her eldest brother's two children, she was really envious.

Zhulan sent Tao away, and Li told her about the happy event. "Yulu didn't tell the Wang family because she wanted to wait and not let them have a wasted celebration."

Zhulan really believed in the physique that makes it easy to get pregnant. Yulu took after Li, who was a fertile woman. If it weren't for the medication to control her pregnancy, the first wife would still have had a child.

At noon the next day, the ministers rested for a morning before returning to Beijing by carriage.

Zhou Shuren was carried on his son's back, while the other ministers were carried by servants. When Zhou Shuren passed by Elder Wen, he said, "Oh, my son is still the best, so considerate and caring."

Old Master Wen glanced at his eldest son. His eldest son was not young anymore. He and his father had been exhausted in the past two days. Not only could his son not take care of him, but he also made his father worry. He was envious in his heart, but he said stubbornly, "Humph, the servants take care of him carefully."

Zhou Shuren, "I know that adults envy me, but there is nothing I can do. Who made my son so outstanding?"

Old Master Wen glared, "My grandson is the top scholar."

Zhou Shuren, "Oh, only one grandson is outstanding. Look at my grandson. Although the eldest grandson is not the top scholar, he is the second. The second grandson is a future marquis and can already handle affairs on his own. My third grandson is not only good-looking, but also well-educated. Yes, he is also very lucky. Look, those who wanted to harm him ended up hurting themselves. As for the fourth grandson, need I say anything? The children in the family are too united and have too much sense of family responsibility."

Master Wen, "......"

The ministers who were eavesdropping, "......"

They were all jealous! They were jealous of this spirit of sacrifice for their brothers!
