Chapter 1532: Country

After Zhou Shuren finished speaking, Wang Ju thought of herself, "To be honest, we, the children raised in aristocratic families, are less hardworking than those from poor families."

"That's because you know that things will be arranged in the future."

Wang Ju ate some grapes and said, "By the way, Wu Ming is rising very fast."

Although his opportunities are not as good as Zhou Shuren's, he has been promoted the fastest in recent years and has a lot of power in his hands. He will probably not leave the capital after returning from the grassland. Wow, I'm so jealous!

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, since Wu Ming was the real boss, to be honest, he was a little surprised that Wu Ming would go to the grassland. He had heard the emperor praising Wu Ming many times, and it was obvious that the emperor did not want Wu Ming to go to the grassland.

Wu Ming still recommends going to the grassland. Everyone can see the achievements of the grassland, but few people have the courage to go to the grassland. If the grassland problems can be really solved, Wu Ming will have solid achievements in his hands, and Wu Ming will rise to the top in the future.

When Zhou Shuren returned home in the evening, he mentioned Wu Ming. Zhulan asked, "Will Wu Ming bring his family with him?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No, the grassland is still too dangerous, my family will stay in the capital."

Zhu Lan, "I haven't seen Song Lan for many years."

"According to the date, Wu Ming's wife and children will be able to return to the capital in the fall."

"There isn't much time left."

The next day, Zhou Shuren took a rest and had breakfast. Then he and his wife went to the Royal Orphanage. Because they had informed them in advance, there were people waiting at the door.

The dean stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhou, Madam Hou, please come in."

Zhou Shuren looked up at the plaque, nodded, and walked into the orphanage. He clearly found the difference between the orphanage and the private ones. The private ones paid more attention to self-reliance and the management was not strict, while the Royal Orphanage was very strict. The children sat upright, without the ideas in their eyes that they had in the private orphanages. The children here only had to obey orders.

Zhulan separated from Zhou Shuren as soon as she came in. She went to see the girls. Boys and girls were separated.

The housekeeper said, "These fifty girls are all talented in embroidery. The one here is studying pharmacology and will become a female doctor in the future."

Zhulan thought that this was the difference between the royal family and the common people. The weavers were trained to serve the royal family, while the female doctors would enter the Ministry of Medicine and obey its arrangements. With the development of the Ministry of Medicine, it became more and more aware of the scarcity of female doctors.

Zhulan looked at the imperial physician teaching the female doctors. The girls were listening very seriously. She thought to herself that it was not easy to brainwash the children in the royal orphanage.

Zhou Shuren's case was much better. When he gave a lecture, he wrote two words: "country."

The emperor and the prince walked in at this time and quietly found a seat to sit down.

The dean was stunned. Why were the emperor and the prince here?

There were too many children in the room, so Zhou Shuren didn't look at the back. "You have been in class for a long time, and you know the word 'country' and understand its meaning, but today I still want to talk about the country, what is a country, and what is a family."

Zhou Shuren actually wanted to draw a map of the entire country on it, but he couldn't. In this era, maps could not be drawn casually.

Zhou Shuren paused and smiled, "Let's start at home."

In this class, Zhou Shuren talked about many things, from home to country, and from country to home. He also talked about the world, and how there are many countries in the world.

Zhou Shuren still felt regretful, regret that he couldn't express more. He had to consider many things carefully. His every move was under the eyes of the royal family, so he had to be cautious.

The emperor sat in the back, watching the children raise their hands one by one to ask questions. Some children asked why foreign countries had to pretend to be pirates, etc. This had never happened before. He had also attended classes, but these children never spoke a word. The sitting posture during class and at the end of class had never changed.

The prince's eyes sparkled. If it weren't for his status, he would have raised his hand to ask a question. However, he wrote down what he wanted to ask and said to his father in a low voice, "I will ask Marquis Zhou tomorrow."

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren saw the emperor and the prince when class was over, and thought to himself, as expected, he knew that every move he made was under the emperor's eyes.

Zhou Shuren, "I have met the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said, "Today I discovered that Lord Zhou is also capable of teaching and educating people. After listening to Lord Zhou's class, I have learned a lot."

Pattern, what he saw was the pattern. Zhou Shuren's pattern this time was the world. Zhou Shuren knew foreign countries very well and it was obvious that he had done a lot of research. He also felt a little regretful in his heart that there was only one Marquis Zhou in the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhou Shuren said, "Your Majesty, I am just expressing my feelings, I am not worthy of anything."

The emperor thought that if it was not inappropriate, he would like Zhou Shuren to give a few lessons to the princes so that they could broaden their horizons. Unfortunately, this was not possible. Once Marquis Zhou went to class, the princes would have more concerns.

Zhulan couldn't start her lecture from the national perspective, which was her biggest headache. She couldn't say much, and what she knew had to have a source. In the end, she could only give a serious lesson and add some meaningful little stories.

Zhulan followed the housekeeper and came over. When she saw the emperor and the prince, she hurriedly greeted them, "Your servant has seen the emperor and the prince before."

The emperor had never heard Yang's lectures, but he had heard his father say that although she was a woman, she had her own thoughts. The books she had sorted out were proof of this. "Old lady, please get up."

Zhou Shuren helped his wife up. Hearing that her voice was a little hoarse, he handed her the cup of tea in his hand and said, "Moisten your throat."

Zhulan felt embarrassed as there were so many people around, but she took the drink and drank it all without hesitation. Zhou Shuren quickly poured her more himself.

The emperor's eyes moved slightly. There was no such true love between husband and wife in the royal family.

The Emperor was very busy and left first with the Crown Prince. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked around before leaving. They had lunch in a restaurant outside.

Zhulan went home and sent the maids away, whispering, "My class is difficult to teach."

Zhou Shuren, "It's really hard to brainwash them. I can only let my children be more open-minded."

"You must be tired. Take a rest first."

"good."

The next day, Zhou Shuren knew that the prince would come. He asked and answered questions. If he could answer them, Zhou Shuren would answer them. If he could not answer them, Zhou Shuren would just smile and say nothing.

The Crown Prince only found out yesterday that the Emperor had once had Marquis Zhou's fortune told by a highly respected master, and it was indeed as the master had said, that Marquis Zhou had protected the country over the years.

Time flies, the summer heat has passed, the weather is getting cooler day by day, and the temperature this year is dropping as fast as last year.

Zhulan has already put on thick clothes. "It rained last night, and it's chilly today. It makes my legs uncomfortable."

Li said, "Yes, mother, we should buy more charcoal this year. Why does your daughter-in-law feel that this winter will also be very cold?"

Zhulan was worried. She was also afraid of this. "Yes, buy more cotton."

Speaking of cotton, due to food shortages, fewer people are planting cotton. This year, cotton prices are not only high but also difficult to buy.

Li, "My daughter-in-law has made a note of it."

As they were talking, Steward Ding brought in a note, "Madam, Lord Wu's family has arrived in the capital. This is the note."

Zhulan, "Arrived in the capital earlier than expected."
