Chapter 1550 Wonderful

The next day, at the morning court, Zhou Shuren knew yesterday that the two countries on the northeastern border were unstable, so he did not get a good rest last night. He was not worried about food and fodder, he just did not want any war or unrest.

Many people from both countries have gathered at the border. As long as they have not crossed the border, the border soldiers will not take any action. However, the cannons have been aimed at the border, ready to fire at any time if there is any unusual movement.

Zhou Shuren didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t look very good. He couldn’t help but bend his back. He wanted to yawn twice, but he felt something was wrong. He raised his head and saw that everyone seemed to be looking at him.

Zhou Shuren became alert and looked around, he didn't do anything!

Now the movements of the two countries are still kept secret. Only important ministers know about it and it is not discussed in the court. The topic discussed in the morning court today was still the snow disaster.

After the morning court session, Zhou Shuren walked a little slowly. The steps of the snow platform were a bit slippery when he first got off. He is old now and if he really fell, he would be half dead.

Li Zhao coughed and said, "You don't look well. You should take care of yourself and don't get sick."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said, "You are worried that I will be sick and I won't be able to get you food and grass."

Li Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I care about you, too."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to Li Zhao, and left quickly with a snort.

When Zhou Shuren returned to the Ministry of Revenue, he saw that the doctor's face turned black, "This Marquis is not sick."

The imperial physician was also in a dilemma and smiled dryly, "I know, I'm at the Ministry of Revenue recently. Anyone who feels unwell can come to me."

Zhou Shuren's face looked better now. He was indeed busy recently. "Yeah."

The imperial physician stayed in the Ministry of Revenue. It was very cold that day and some people were really feeling sick, so the imperial physician was not idle.

The news that the Ministry of Revenue had a royal doctor in charge spread very quickly, especially to the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six ministries. The Minister of Personnel was also uncomfortable, and when he faced the question, he retorted, "Don't talk about it here. If you have the ability, go and invite the doctor yourself."

Zhou Shuren didn't care about the other departments. The Ministry of Revenue was the busiest right now.

In Zhangzhou, Yu Shuang sent away the wife of the county official, rubbed her face which was somewhat stiff from smiling, and turned to go see her little son.

When Mrs. Hu heard the footsteps, she made a "hush" gesture, indicating that she should go out and talk.

When Yu Shuang saw that her youngest son had fallen asleep, she did not dare to say anything. The eldest son was very well behaved, but the youngest son had never been well behaved since he was born. He cried when he was unhappy or uncomfortable, and especially at night he did not like to sleep. The old woman and the maid who took care of the youngest son had black eyes. She was also afraid of the youngest son.

Mrs. Hu exhaled, "This child is so rare when he is asleep, but so noisy when he wakes up."

No matter how much she loves her grandson, she can't go against her conscience and say that he is easy to raise.

Yu Shuang personally poured tea for her mother-in-law, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "It's not hard. I have a maid and a servant. The child will be born in an official family and enjoy happiness."

Yu Shuang also thought so, but she also felt that it was out of habit. She would get nervous whenever her son cried or made a fuss. She wanted to discipline her son, but she couldn't bear to do so.

Hu asked, "What do they want to see you about?"

Yu Shuang sighed, "It's all about food. Some of these petty officials have more than enough money, while others are struggling. They are much better off than ordinary people, but we are a poor county. They don't lack food. Although they can't have fine grains every day, they can still eat their fill. The only thing is that they don't have meat."

Mrs. Hu understood and asked, "I borrowed it from you?"

Yu Shuang, "That won't happen. After all, Liu Feng is the county lord, the biggest in the county. They want to buy it, and they all know that my father has a farm with many livestock. Since I gave birth, my parents have been sending me meat. They know that my family is rich, so they want to buy the poultry from the farm."

Mrs. Hu frowned, "I don't know much about officialdom, but I think this is a wrong move. I'll give it to you this time, but what about next time?"

Yu Shuang, "I didn't agree. That's what my father feeds his children."

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "That's right, you didn't agree. They took advantage of your thin skin and said it together, thinking you would be embarrassed to agree."

"Yes, their plan is good, but I don't care what they say behind my back. I know they are jealous of me, and I enjoy seeing them jealous of me and trying to please me."

Mrs. Hu smiled even more. "Yes, you don't have to worry about them. They only dare to talk about it behind your back at home. They don't care about what they say outside."

Who made my daughter-in-law's family a marquis's mansion? No matter how high her father's official rank is, he is an official in the capital, not to mention a powerful grandfather.

Zhulan didn't know that her eldest granddaughter was being plotted against, so she divided all the poultry brought back by her eldest daughter among her in-laws and close friends, so what was originally a lot was gone in a flash.

Zhulan, "No matter how much there is, it's not enough."

Boss Zhou, "This year Rongchuan is no longer on the grassland and there is no beef to eat."

He was tempted to buy the cattle on the farm, but the cattle on his own farm were healthy, so he thought about it and decided not to do it.

Zhulan also wanted beef. "Hey, don't think about beef."

The inspection was particularly strict this year. Cattle are an important source of farm labor, and beef is hard to come by in private, so the wealthy families in the capital have become more restrained.

Zhou Lao Da thought for a moment and said, "Mom, it's so cold this year, and it won't be warm after the New Year. Is Mingrui really going to take the exam next year?"

"I'm worried about that, too. I'm afraid she'll get sick from the cold. But, as you know, the Lin family's dowry is almost ready, and it's time to discuss the date for Mingrui's wedding."

Boss Zhou smiled and said, "The Lin family is getting anxious."

Zhulan, "I originally thought there was no rush for the two children, but your second brother said it would be good for them to get married early."

She knew that Changyi also wanted to be a grandfather. The eldest had grandchildren, and Changyi was jealous of them. Whenever he saw the two children, Changyi would play with them for a while. Changyi was also the most popular one among the children in the family.

When Boss Zhou heard that it was his second brother's idea, he smiled and said, "It's better to get married soon."

The mother and son chatted for a while. Boss Zhou wanted to take people to the river but not catch fish, but Zhulan didn't allow it because they couldn't finish all the sea fish.

Two days later, Jiang Ping was able to get out of bed and refused to stay at home. He ran to the Marquis' Mansion. It was Chang Yi's day off. Chang Yi felt guilty when he saw his nephew. If he hadn't had such thoughts, the twins would not have taken this path.

Jiang Ping, "Uncle, I like my life now. It's wonderful."

Zhulan threw the orange in her hand over, "You guys are wonderful, we are scared. Your mother hasn't slept well since you left."

Jiang Ping felt guilty, "Grandma, what we do is meaningful."

This is the news he brought back this time. Knowing the news in advance could have reduced many casualties.

Zhulan knew that her grandson was right, but she felt bad for him. The two children were only a few years old. "How is Jiang An?"

Seeing that his second uncle and grandmother were staring at him, Jiang Ping could only reply, "It's fine. One of us is in the open and the other is in the dark. I didn't doubt Jiang An when I came back to deliver the message."

There are very few twins who look so alike. In addition, they have liked to imitate each other since they were young, even their small habits are the same. They are like one person, and it is difficult to find that they are not the same person.

At this time, Steward Ding came in and said, "Madam, the palace lady has sent a message asking you to enter the palace tomorrow."
