Chapter 1566 Clan Rules

In a teahouse in the capital, Mingyun went to meet Liu Song. Liu Song said, "You are so mean. You didn't tell anyone that you were going to the grassland."

"Don't act like we have a deep friendship. I guessed where you were going, but you can't guess where I was going. You can only blame yourself."

Liu Song choked, "Okay, okay, I didn't guess that, but why did you want to go to the grassland?"

He knew very well how complicated the grassland was. He was really surprised that Mingyun would go to the grassland. As the eldest grandson of Marquis Zhou, there was no need to work so hard. God knows, his transfer would have shocked the entire Hanlin Academy.

Mingyun was also surprised that his grandfather changed his plans. He was not afraid of hardship and felt that his grandfather was right. His grandfather was trapped in the capital and Uncle Wu Ming could teach him more. He also wanted to follow Wu Ming to lay a solid foundation for himself. There was so much he needed to learn from Uncle Wu Ming.

Mingyun thought about what his grandfather had said. His grandfather said that everything was going well for him and that it was time for him to practice well.

Liu Song saw Zhou Mingyun just smiled faintly and knew he couldn't ask anything, "When are you leaving?"

Mingyun, "New Year's Day."

Liu Song rolled his eyes and didn't tell him the exact date, as he was on guard against him. "I will leave on the 18th of the first lunar month."

Mingyun, "Oh."

Liu Song, "......"

Mingyun smiled and picked up the teacup. "I'm using tea instead of wine here. I wish you a bright future."

Liu Song lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you."

Mingyun didn't stay in the teahouse for long. He and Liu Song were not close enough to have a long conversation, so he left after sitting for a while.

Mingyun was sitting in the carriage and saw his uncle and the fourth prince at a glance. The two were walking on the street and bought a lot of things. Mingyun's eyes fell on Lu Jiaqing until his uncle and his party could no longer be seen. Then Mingyun lowered the curtain of the carriage.

Mingyun's second destination was a jewelry shop, where he picked up the New Year gifts that had been customized for his wife and daughter, and bought some toys for his son before returning home.

Mingyun went back to the mansion to see his grandfather, "Is Master Wang gone?"

"Let's go. What did Liu Song want to ask you for?"

Mingyun sat opposite his grandfather and asked his grandson why he went to the grassland.

Zhou Shuren motioned for his eldest grandson to have some snacks, "It's fresh out of the oven."

Mingyun was indeed a little hungry, so he picked up the snack and started eating.

Zhou Shuren finally spoke, "Liu Song is indeed good, but the Liu family is destined to be restless. You also know the fate of the maternal families of King Liang and King Chu. Now the emperor is only suppressing them and has not taken any real action. Once he takes any real action, the Liu family will be doomed."

Mingyun swallowed the snack in his mouth and drank a few sips of tea. "The emperor showed no mercy to the Wen family. They should have seen clearly that they had to bear the consequences of playing blind. It's a pity for Liu Song."

Zhou Shuren rocked the rocking chair, "Your grandpa, I have few people I admire, but I admire Prince Qi's grandfather. Prince Qi is so carefree today, and the Chen family is still standing, all thanks to Grandpa Chen's credit."

Mingyun, "Grandpa, I will remember your teachings and will definitely protect our Zhou family and pass it on."

Zhou Shuren said yes, and then said, "You must be humble when you arrive at the grassland. If you only learn half of Wu Ming's skills, it will be enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life."

Mingyun, "My grandson will want Uncle Wu to study hard."

"Well, the grasslands are full of crises and opportunities. You must bring people with you wherever you go. You must pay attention to safety. Only with safety can there be an unlimited future. I don't want to hear about your brother's affairs again. Once is enough. Your grandfather can't bear it."

Mingyun said seriously, "Grandpa, my grandson will protect himself and will never make the same mistake tomorrow."

"Um."

The next day, Zhou Shuren saw no one and went to the farm with his wife in a carriage.

Hu Xialai missed the target. Chang Yi smiled and said, "You came at an unfortunate time."

Hu Xia, "I wanted to come yesterday, but something happened at home and I was delayed."

Chang Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Xia was embarrassed. His daughter-in-law took after his wife and was strong-willed even after getting married. Also, because Liu Feng did not take a concubine, the daughter-in-law saw it all. Her mother-in-law took a concubine for her son-in-law and made a fuss yesterday.

Chang Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Come to think of it, you have been visiting me after the New Year in recent years. Is your visit before the New Year related to what happened yesterday?"

Hu Xia was depressed. "You also know that I am from a wealthy family and I didn't agree to marry my daughter off. But I couldn't resist and I finally got married. It's not that easy to be with a wealthy family. Oh, it's my fault. If I had been tougher, this wouldn't have happened."

Chang Yi curled his lips and said, "You are completely controlled by your wife."

Hu Xia touched his nose. He was also afraid of his daughter. Alas, his children were all debts.

Chang Yi understood Hu Xia's intention, "There was a commotion yesterday, and you came to visit today. Tsk tsk, you are relying on our mansion for support."

"Ahem, I don't want to continue making trouble. I hope my in-laws can take a step back and have a good New Year."

Chang Yi rolled his eyes to the sky, "You have to finish the path you have chosen even if you have to kneel down. There will be many troubles in the future."

Hu Xia sighed. He knew that it was too late to regret.

Chang Yi did not mention it again. Hu Xia had not caused any trouble to the Marquis' Mansion over the years, and Hu Xia's in-laws were also good. The only disharmonious relationship was between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Zhulan arrived at her own manor and said, "I finally understand how much the royal family values ​​you."

Zhou Shuren coughed. He had no place to hide after leaving Beijing, so he had to show up and follow him. He followed him all the way to the manor and did not leave.

Zhou Shuren, "The inquiries of the envoys from various countries about me have alerted the royal family."

"Well, let's go, let's not talk about it anymore, let's go pick some vegetables."

She suddenly wanted to pick them herself, and Zhou Shuren also had a rare chance to rest, so the two of them discussed it and came here.

Arriving at the greenhouse, Zhulan said, "Big brother has worked hard these years. He takes care of all the chores at home."

"Well, we will feel relieved if we hand over the mansion to him in the future."

Because it was the New Year, a batch of vegetables in the greenhouse had already been harvested and there were not many left. The Zhou family's greenhouse had a good yield thanks to Boss Zhou's hard work and willingness to spend money.

Zhu Lan said, "There will be many people from the Zhou family taking the exam next year. Jiang Du wrote to say that this batch of children has the best talent."

Zhou Shuren put the peppers in his hand into the basket, "This year, the list of hometowns will probably be dominated by the Zhou family."

"This is what a family is. The Zhou family's investment every year is not comparable to that of an individual. The Zhou family has gradually become a large family, and it's time to standardize the family rules."

Zhou Shuren, "Ming Qing's letter also means the same thing. He wants to standardize the clan rules. Although a lot has been added over the years, there are still loopholes. For the sake of longer-term inheritance, I will personally draft the clan rules. You can help me then."

"Um."

Afterwards, the two of them concentrated on picking the fruits, and did not set out for Beijing until late in the afternoon. There were many carriages on the way back to Beijing, most of which were caravans traveling back and forth.

It was a coincidence that the carriage in front broke down, and it turned out to be the carriage that Zhao Bo was carrying to Beijing.

Zhao Bo integrated the caravan to discuss borrowing a horse-drawn carriage, which blocked the road.

After hearing the rumor, Zhou Shuren had no intention of getting off the carriage. What he encountered today was indeed unexpected.

Zhao Bo was still carrying luggage to the caravan's carriages. Finally, the carriage of the Marquisate went first. Someone in the caravan recognized the carriage of the Marquisate and said, "The carriage of the Marquisate."

After hearing this, Zhao Bo stared blankly at the carriage leaving, lost in thought for a long time.
