Chapter 1519 Blushing

The emperor glanced at all the ministers in the study, watching everyone's actions, and then looked at Zhou Shuren. This method was given by Zhou Shuren. He and his father had discussed it. It would benefit the people and would also bring popularity to the royal family. The imperial power would gain unprecedented support from the people. How could he and his father not like Zhou Shuren, who could bring benefits to the royal family?

The emperor looked at Lord Qi with a subtle gaze, twirling the beads in his hand, "Speak, I am listening."

Lord Qi organized the speech, "Your Majesty cares about the people, and it is my honor to be your subject."

After a pause, he continued, "I am willing to share the emperor's worries. I will definitely live up to your expectations and run the pharmacy well. Please give me a chance."

The Wen family has produced an empress, so the Qi family can only follow behind the Wen family in recent years, and he also has to make plans for the Qi family.

Zhou Shuren was surprised. Lord Qi was very direct. He thought he would pull him down before arguing.

Old Master Wen stared at the hanging painting without blinking, but he was thinking about the pharmacy in his heart. He felt aggrieved that this lucrative and powerful position would not fall into the hands of the Wen family. His son was supported by only the eldest son, and the eldest son's current position could not be moved. Neither could his grandson Wen Rong. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take a bite of the fat meat.

Old Master Wen knew clearly what his in-laws were thinking. It would be strange if they had no selfish motives. However, he was unwilling to let the Qi family get all the jobs. His son and third son were abandoned, and the Wen family had to go to the Qi family.

The other adults came back to their senses, mentally cursed Old Man Qi for not playing by the rules, and said one after another that they would definitely get the job done.

Zhou Shuren lowered his head, as if the discussion was not his suggestion.

The emperor couldn't say that he fully understood Zhou Shuren, but he was happy to give him a push, "Okay, since Qi Aiqing asked for the order first, then Qi Aiqing will be in charge. Qi Aiqing, go back and write a letter and hand it in."

Lord Qi's heart, which had been fluctuating, finally settled down, and his voice became much higher. "I obey your order."

In Qizhou, Dong was writing scriptures in plain clothes. Her father had made thousands of plans for the family and had never let her daughter down. The good times in the past were still vivid in her mind, and Dong's eyes were blurred with tears.

Chang Lian came in and saw this scene. He picked up the handkerchief beside his wife and gently wiped her tears. "You should go back."

Dong, "It's too far. I won't be able to see you for the last time even if I go back."

The letter did not exaggerate my father's condition. The more realistic the situation was, the more it proved that my father really didn't have many days left.

Chang Lian hugged his wife's shoulders and said, "Cry if you want to."

His wife cried every day these days, and he felt very uncomfortable. He felt sorry for his wife and couldn't go home with him. If she were in the capital, she might not be able to see her father-in-law for the last time.

Dong shed tears silently, "My father is very good to me."

Chang Lian: "Yeah."

He has his own opinion on this point. His father-in-law does love his wife in his heart, but in front of the family, his wife is always secondary. He has not made excessive demands on his wife over the years. That is also due to the attitude of the Zhou family, plus the losses caused by the Dong family's own actions several times.

Moreover, he also read the handwritten letter sent by his father-in-law. There was no mention in a word that he asked his wife to recruit the Dong family. He said that it was enough for the Zhou family to help educate Dong Zhan. Between the lines, there was a strong sense of reluctance of the father to let his daughter go. Without saying it, it revealed all the plans he had made.

Mrs. Dong stopped crying. "I'm fine. The food is ready in the kitchen. Let's eat."

Chang Lian: "Okay."

When the meal was served, there was not a single bit of meat or fish in it. When the capital began to practice austerity, all the states followed suit. Before my father-in-law sent me a letter, our family had two dishes and a soup. After his letter arrived, all the food in the house became vegetarian, without a single bit of meat or fish in it.

Mrs. Dong saw her husband eating noodles without changing his expression, and felt sorry for him. "I'll be a vegetarian in the future, and you can eat alone."

"Some time ago, someone went to the prefect and said that we always ate meat and fish without moderation, but now we are vegetarians, which is good."

Dong was so angry that she glared at him, "What kind of people are they? They cheated on their wives a lot, and they really think no one knows."

Her family just displays it openly.

Chang Lian, "Okay, stop being angry, let's eat."

He was not angry. It was because of his good family background that too many people were watching him.

In the capital, Zhu Lan faced two boxes and asked, "Are you sure you saw Jiang Ping?"

Steward Ding, "I can't tell whether it's Master Jiang An or Master Jiang Ping, but he said it's Jiang Ping."

The two young masters are too similar. He has been in the Zhou family for so many years and has rarely had the opportunity to get along with them. The two young masters also like to play role-playing games, so he is not sure.

Zhulan opened the two boxes. Things whose origins could not be confirmed were not allowed to be brought into the mansion, so Jiang Ping had to show up. Among the two boxes of herbs, the most eye-catching ones were two ginsengs.

"Qingxue, come here and take a look. How old are these two ginsengs?"

Qingxue walked forward and carefully observed the ginseng. The ginseng was well preserved. "Madam, these two ginsengs are at least a hundred years old."

Zhulan, "These two boxes of herbs are hard to buy even if you have money."

Steward Ding said, "You two young masters are very filial."

Zhulan guessed that he must have known that Mingteng was in trouble and was worried about her and Shuren, so he sent ginseng and other tonics back. It was also an indirect way to tell his family that they were all fine.

Zhulan said to Qingxue, "Go to Jiang's house and see if they have received anything?"

"yes."

Zhulan closed the box and handed it to another maid, asking Qingxue to come back and keep it. She and Shuren didn't need much supplements. At their age, food supplements were the best way to keep fit.

Qingxue came back quickly and reported, "Mrs. Jiang also received two boxes and wanted to bring two boxes with her. They have never received such valuable things and don't know what to do."

"What did you say?"

"I said this is the filial piety of the two young masters, and the old lady has also accepted it. Let's keep it first and wait for the eldest girl to come back and make arrangements."

Zhulan nodded, "You go and store the herbs."

"yes."

In the capital, sisters Yuyi and Yudie are in the painting building. They came here to appreciate paintings at the invitation of their fiancés. Of course, Yujiao also came with them. As the temperature rises, the capital becomes stuffy and Yuwen does not go out again.

Yuyi and Yudie bought the paintings they liked. They sisters would never buy expensive paintings, but cheap ones. It’s not that cheap is bad, and there are many less famous ones.

Art galleries buy a lot of paintings of this kind. Some buy them for collection in case they become famous painters in the future, the value of the paintings will go up.

Yudie sat for a while, "Where did these two go?"

Yuyi was also confused and asked them to wait for a moment, but the two of them disappeared.

This place is either an art gallery, a bookstore or an antique shop. Liu Yuanbo and Yu Yueyang went to the bookstore and they both liked a book.

Liu Yuanbo held the book tightly in his hand and said, "I really like this chess manual. Mr. Yu, would you mind giving it to me?"

Yu Yueyang didn't let go. His fiancée loved playing chess. His future brother-in-law told him that his fiancée liked to buy chess manuals. "I want to give it to someone else. Please give it to me, Mr. Liu."

Liu Yuanbo wanted to give it to his future father-in-law, "I'm giving it to someone else too."

As for my fiancée, forget it. She’s not the type of person who likes playing chess.

Well, both of them have their reasons for not giving in.

Yu Yueyang, "I want to give it to Miss Zhou Si."

It's time to give in this time.

Liu Yuanbo was speechless, "I want to give it to my future father-in-law."

Two people, "......"

Yuyi and Yudie came over and were speechless when they heard the last few sentences. Yujiao didn't care anymore and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two young masters simultaneously let go of the books in their hands and turned their heads stiffly.

Yuyi cleared her throat and said, "I bought this chess manual before."

Yu Yueyang took a step back upon hearing this, "Let it go to Master Liu. Yes..."

Liu Yuanbo smiled and said, "Thank you."

Yudie blushed, "!!"
