Chapter 1623: Smashing the Door

In a blink of an eye, Mingrui's eldest daughter's third-day bath was over. The little girl changed every day. She was well taken care of in the womb and became fairer and fairer after birth. Zhulan liked to come over and take a look when she had nothing to do.

Zhulan came out of the second room to stroll around the garden and saw her youngest son and the servant going out. "Where are you going?"

Changzhong took out the invitation and said, "Gu Sheng has moved to a new house and sent an invitation to his son. Let's go to have a drink today."

Zhulan, "Moved?"

"Well, Gu Sheng moved to a place where low-ranking officials gathered. It is said that he spent 500 taels to buy it."

"He's quite good at saving money."

Five hundred taels is not a small sum, and no one knows how many paintings Gu Sheng sold.

Chang Zhong knew more, "He became the third place in the imperial examination and people wanted to paint for him. He sold a lot of paintings in the days after he passed the imperial examination."

Zhulan thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead, but don't drink too much."

Changzhong, "Got it."

Zhulan didn't want to continue shopping, so she walked back and asked, "I wonder where Yuyi is?"

Qingxue replied, "Miss Yuyi and her group should go south along the Yunhe River."

In the canal, Yuyi and her group lived on the top floor of the passenger ship. The top floor was the best room. Fortunately, Yuyi and her group did not get seasick.

It was drizzling today. Yujiao stood on the deck holding an umbrella to enjoy the scenery. Yuyi waited for a while but her sister didn't come back, so she had to get up and go out herself.

Yuyi opened the door and was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her. The little girl shouted, "Miss."

Yuyi came back to her senses and walked towards Yujiao, "Brother, are you fishing?"

Minghui: "Well, I'm free anyway."

Yu Yueyang took the umbrella from the girl at some point and stood beside his fiancée, holding the umbrella. "Yuyi, do you want to go fishing?"

Yuyi didn't want to, she wanted to see the scenery more, so she raised her head and said, "Your shoulders are wet."

Yu Yueyang rarely had contact with his fiancée. Ever since leaving Beijing, his uncle had been on guard against him like a thief. "It's okay. Shall we go to the other side and take a look?"

Yuyi almost laughed out loud when she saw her fiancé whispering and glancing at her brother. But when she saw that her brother was serious about it, she nodded.

The two walked to the other side to enjoy the scenery, and Yuyi didn't get wet at all.

Yu Yueyang's clothes got wet and he was happy. He thought about the umbrella and tilted it a little more towards his fiancée.

Yuyi noted, "If you continue like this, I will go back."

Yu Yueyang said hurriedly, "Don't."

Yuyi curled her lips and asked, "How did you convince uncle to let you go with us?"

Yu Yueyang's ears turned red, "Tell me, tell me I'm worried about you."

Yuyi burst out laughing, "You are really brave."

Yu Yueyang also smiled with two dimples, "I am indeed brave."

Yujiao ran over, "Sister, someone brought hot tea to Minghui, come and see."

Yuyi looked over and saw that the maid had put down the teapot. She turned her head and saw the window of a room was open. A girl in plain clothes was standing there weakly. Feeling Yuyi's gaze, the girl even greeted her.

Yuyi frowned slightly and asked the maid beside her in a low voice, "Has this young lady been checked?"

When we boarded the ship, the maid had already checked the top floor. She said, "A young lady who is returning to her hometown to worship. I don't know anything else."

Yuyi looked over again and wondered why she was wearing plain clothes.

In the capital, Zhulan holds an invitation from the Yong'an Mansion. Although Zhuo Guyu did not win the top spot in the imperial examination, the emperor seems to want to use him. The Yong'an Mansion has been suppressed for too long, and the emperor is eager to let the powerful people in the capital know about it.

Zhu Lan put down the invitation, "This eldest grandson who won the second place in the imperial examination has just been treated to a banquet by the Duke's Mansion, and now there is another flower viewing banquet."

Lee, "A little too eager."

Zhulan, "Yes, Zhuo Guyu hasn't taken office yet!"

Su Xuan asked, "This flower viewing party is not just about viewing flowers, right? Zhuo Guyu's cousins ​​have reached the age of marriage and would like to take the opportunity to meet each other."

Zhulan picked up the teacup and said, "We are not going to the Marquis' Mansion."

Li took the note and said, "My daughter-in-law will reply now."

"Um."

Zhulan chatted with her two daughters-in-law for a while, and then Changzhong came back, "Mom, my son is back."

Zhulan saw the clearness in her son's eyes and smiled, "Why did you come back so early?"

Changzhong drank tea to quench his thirst, "There were too many people in Gusheng's yard, and my son didn't like the hustle and bustle, so he went back."

He blinked and said, "I don't know why Gu Sheng refused. It seems that none of Gu Sheng's officials sent anyone today."

Zhulan was glad that Gu Sheng had a way to refuse. "By the way, where is Gu Sheng's elder brother?"

Chang Zhong, "They will be leaving for their hometown to worship their ancestors in a few days. They should consider their personal problems after they return."

Zhulan didn't ask any more questions, "Go back and have a rest."

"Mom, I'm going home."

"Um."

Zhou Shuren came back in the evening and said, "Jiang Du and Mu Fan have been dismissed from their posts."

"It was pretty fast."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "They were both sent to be county magistrates. The counties they governed were both close to the sea. Although they were not in the same state, they were not too far away."

Zhulan knew that the emperor arranged this for Shuren's sake, "It's good, the two of them can be taken care of."

Zhou Shuren, "I will take up my post after returning from my hometown to pay respect to my ancestors. I think the seaside is a good place."

Zhulan felt a little regretful, "We have been in ancient times for so long, and we haven't gone to the beach together."

Zhou Shuren felt sad that his wife was trapped in the backyard. "We must go and see it together this year."

Zhulan, "Okay."

In the following days, news of the engagement came from the Yong'an Duke's Mansion. The person was not Zhuo Guyu, but Zhuo Guyu's cousin. The emperor's action was a signal. In the past, they wanted to receive the bride and watch, but this time the marriage went smoothly.

The Duke's Mansion arranged two marriages in succession, but did not choose Zhuo Guyu as the only one. The Duke's Mansion of Yong'an never concealed some of its actions. The louder the discussions, the more attention was paid to the Marquis Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Shuren could feel the inquiring gazes when he attended the morning court. He clenched his palms, then raised his head and looked at the emperor.

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he was looked at, and then he had a premonition that Zhou Shuren was going to cause trouble.

After the morning court session, Zhou Shuren turned around and strode away. Even Wang Ju couldn't catch up with him. Anyone could see that Zhou Shuren was angry.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren got on the Ministry of Revenue carriage and said to Jian Yan: "Go back to the mansion and call a few skilled people over. You know who to call."

To put it simply, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren said to the driver, "Go to the Yong'an Duke's Mansion."

The driver of the Ministry of Revenue was stunned, wondering if he had heard wrongly, "Sir, the Minister is not going back to the Ministry of Revenue?"

Zhou Shuren, "Duke Yong'an's Mansion."

After saying this, he closed his eyes. The driver was a little frightened. He rarely saw the Shangshu with a gloomy face. This must be a big deal!

In the palace, the emperor returned to the government hall and called eunuch Zhang to ask questions. After hearing that Zhou Shuren left the palace angrily, the emperor said, "....."

The prince asked, "But is it because of Anhe?"

The emperor then remembered Zhou Shuren's words. Zhou Shuren was going to fight. "Go to the Yong'an Duke's Mansion."

Prince, "???"

Zhou Shuren arrived at the Mansion of the Duke of Yong'an. The Duke of Yong'an had made great contributions to the founding of the country, and the emperor was very generous to the dukes. The Mansion covered a large area, and the vermilion gate was intimidating, at least the coachman was a little timid.

Zhou Shuren saw the driver's frightened look and said, "What are you afraid of? I have this man to support me and bang on the door."

The driver said, "......"

He was already feeling panic-stricken, and why did the Minister want to break down the door of the Duke's Mansion?
