Chapter 1599 Impressive

Zhou Shuren believed that he was a fool, but the Ministry of Justice was not idle. "You came at the right time. I just brought some good tea from home."

"It seems I have good luck."

Zhou Shuren had been boiling water in his room and soon made tea. He did not ask the Minister of Justice why he came, and the two of them just chatted idly.

The Minister of Justice drank his tea and cursed in his heart. If he didn't speak up, this person wouldn't speak up. "I heard that there are five or six vacancies in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, "Do you have any children at home?"

The Minister of Justice knew that he had not explained it clearly, so he did not respond. "I have three daughters in my family. My youngest daughter's husband is a Hanlin Academy scholar. As the three-year assessment is approaching, I have thought about it and came to you to ask for tea."

Zhou Shuren suddenly remembered, "Last time you chose a poor man for your daughter."

The Minister of Justice stroked his beard and said, "Yes, I know that the Ministry of Revenue under your jurisdiction is strict. Don't worry, my son-in-law is also a man of real talent and learning."

Zhou Shuren took a sip of tea and asked, "You want him to stay in the capital? Not be sent out?"

The Minister of Justice shook his head, "I don't know how many years it will take for him to come back after being sent out, it's good to keep him in the capital under my watch."

Zhou Shuren thought that if he wanted to return to Beijing after being sent out of the capital, he would first have to rely on his own strong abilities and secondly on his operations. The Minister of Justice obviously did not want to waste too many resources on his son-in-law, and there were too many unexpected events when he was sent out of the capital, so he could not afford the risk.

The Minister of Justice spoke again, "Your third son has been away for many years. He is now the prefect of Ningzhou. If you count carefully, he has not returned to the capital for many years."

Zhou Shuren sighed, "Yes, being an official abroad means you have no choice. If he were closer, he could come back to visit. But he is too far away."

The emperor needs him to take root in the south, and the third son wants to return to Beijing to report on his work.

The Minister of Justice was still envious. The third son of Marquis Zhou was only in his thirties. "My Lord, what is my suggestion?"

Zhou Shuren touched the teacup and said, "You know that many people are eyeing several positions. I have blocked them all. If you come in person, I will let my four sons take a closer look and then wait for the assessment results."

The Minister of Justice knew what was going on. "I know what to say when we get out."

Zhou Shuren clinked his teacup with him, and the Minister of Justice talked about the next year's spring examination. "The capital has been very lively recently. Several examiners who are taking the exam are very famous. We will have to look at the list for next year."

Zhou Shuren smiled. The Minister of Justice was so relaxed because there was no one at home to consult.

In the Mansion of the Duke of Yong'an, Yuwen had a title, and those who were lower than her had to pay her respects. She walked around the elders and then went to the room where the young ladies were.

Linxi is the princess who did not come. She is the only one among the ladies with a title, so everyone has to pay homage to her this time.

Yu Wen sat down at random and said to everyone, "Everyone, please feel free to sit down."

Wen Ling and Miss Qi looked very unhappy, but it didn't matter if they looked unhappy, since it was not until later that Yu Wen was given the title.

Yu Wen liked the fact that Wen Ling was jealous of her and had a helpless look. She glanced at Wen Ling's dress. Unlike her flamboyant style, this one made her feel pity. She thought of Wen Ling's exclamation in the teahouse and thought, this must be someone she loves.

Yu Lu brought the young lady from the clan over and said, "Today I know that you look so good in red."

This girl used to be very lazy and seldom dressed herself up, especially not in such a ostentatious way.

Miss Wang became even more confused and called out tentatively, "County Lord Anhe?"

Yuwen smiled and said, "Sit down."

Miss Wang was somewhat stunned by the mayor's attire, as long as it was not difficult to get along with him, "Thank you, mayor."

The rules are particularly good.

The daughter of the Yong'an Duke's mansion, Zhuo Ya, came back to her senses. Because she was the master, she had dressed up specially, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she met the Anhe County Lord. "Anhe County Lord, I am Zhuo Ya."

Yuwen, "Hello."

The Duke's daughter is fourteen years old this year. She is the same mother as Zhuo Guyu. She seldom went out before, but from today on she will not be confined to the mansion.

Zhuo Ya had just been flattered, and her smile was slightly stiff when she heard such a light tone. Thinking of her mother's instructions, she said enthusiastically: "The Duke's Mansion renovated the garden a few years ago, and it snowed last night. Does the county lord want to go and enjoy the snow scenery?"

Yuwen, "......"

No, she just wanted to sit still until the party was over.

Yu Lu fiddled with her handkerchief and didn't want to speak, and Miss Wang didn't dare to say a word.

Zoya, "County Lord?"

Yuwen coughed, "Isn't it good to listen to music and drink tea indoors?"

Zoya was stunned for a moment, "Okay."

"Well, I like being indoors. If you want to go out to enjoy the snow, remember to bring a heater. It's cold outside."

Zoya, "......"

It wasn't that she wanted to go to see the snow, she wanted to take the county lord to see the snow and see the people!

Wen Ling came over at this time, "I just want to go to see the snow, please Miss Zhuo."

Yu Wen was happy, "Go ahead, Miss Zhuo, you don't have to treat me specially, I'll just listen to the music here and won't go anywhere else."

In the end, more and more people wanted to go to enjoy the snow, and Zoya had no choice but to go out with the other ladies.

Yu Lu lowered her voice, "Is it you who are the only one who is invited to enjoy the snow?"

"It's not about appreciating the snow, it's more like appreciating the people."

Gyokuro, "......I thought so too."

At this time, the maid from the Wang family came over, and Yu Lu took Miss Wang to the elders' room. Yu Wen lamented how difficult it was for her second sister, a clan wife, to worry about everything!

Meanwhile, Qin finally took her female relatives to enjoy the snow, thinking they would see a perfect couple, but...

Su Xuan was delighted when she saw this. There were so many young ladies admiring the snow. She only saw Zhuo Guyu's quick walking back.

At the Jiang family, Zhulan arrived at the delivery room and asked her eldest daughter, "Why did she fall and give birth prematurely?"

Xuemei, "Mom, don't be anxious."

How could Zhulan not be anxious? The messenger said it was very dangerous, otherwise she would not come here in person. "What's going on?"

Xuemei helped her mother sit down. "One of the maids in the house had some ideas. I had already punished her and was preparing to sell her off. Who knew she would hold a grudge and attack Mu Lan?"

Zhulan, "......"

She thought she would never encounter this!

Then Zhulan became angry, looking at the servants in the yard. She seldom interfered in the affairs of the lady's family. The lady and her son-in-law were not at home. It turned out that Jiang Miao was in charge of the family. The old lady of the Jiang family could control the servants.

Is it because the master has been away from home for too long and thinks of himself as half-master?

Zhulan's face darkened, "You are too lenient to others."

Xuemei lowered her head. It was indeed her fault. "Mom, I have already found someone to sell it."

Zhulan frowned, "I think there's more than one person selling it. Please clear out all the servants in the yard for me."

It is rare for a lady to have a kind master. If a slave bullies his master, he dares to retaliate. That's good.

Xuemei's heart shuddered. Her mother was really angry. "Mom, I will take care of it."

"Don't let me get involved."

Xuemei: "Yes."

Mu Lan had a dangerous pregnancy this time, but luckily she was lucky and gave birth to the baby soon after. However, because the baby was premature and weak, he had to be nursed slowly. Mu Lan was also injured and needed to recuperate for two years.

This time the baby was a son, and Mrs. Jiang was so happy that she kept chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Zhulan confirmed that the children and adults were fine. She didn't want to watch the lady deal with the servants, so she got up and went home.

Su Xuan and her daughter also left the Duke's Mansion. Yu Wen was drowsy at first, but she became alert when she saw a person standing at the door. She was deeply impressed by this person!
