Chapter 1636 Awakening

The ship left the harbor and sailed for an hour. Zhou Shuren was already sitting on a recliner with a telescope in his hand. "I knew the emperor would be worried."

Zhulan took the binoculars and saw the navy patrolling the coast, following the ship from a distance.

Zhou Shuren rocked on the recliner, "The greatest blessing in life is not getting seasick."

Zhulan nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Feeling the sea breeze and looking at the sea and sky merging into one, this is the ideal retirement life.

When the emperor came out after taking a rest, he saw Zhou Shuren's retirement state. He felt nervous, fearing that Zhou Shuren would not want to work anymore after enjoying himself. He mentally scolded the emperor for being pretentious and giving him half a month's leave.

Seeing the emperor, Zhulan had no choice but to get up. She couldn't continue lying there. She looked at the recliner reluctantly, and after greeting the emperor, she returned to her room.

Zhou Shuren was unhappy. He was out to play with his wife. Who would want to accompany an old man?

The emperor also lay on the recliner, "This man's life is too short."

Zhou Shuren, "???"

The Emperor continued, "So, you must do something meaningful and not just enjoy yourself."

Zhou Shuren, "!!"

Bah, you're afraid that he'll go back and quit his job!

Zhou Shuren closed his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the emperor. Well, the sea breeze is nice today.

The retired emperor also rolled his eyes and cursed the old fox in his heart. Looking at the sea and sky merging into one in the distance, the retired emperor's depression dissipated a lot. This time he left the capital not only because he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity because of his age, but also because he wanted to relax. He did not want to think about the past in the palace. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

On the other side, Zhulan felt bored staying in the room, so she went out to check the kitchen on the ship. The chef was brought by the emperor, and he had already started preparing meals.

Zhulan checked everything over before leaving with peace of mind, mainly because the kitchen smelled too strong.

The Queen Mother was still resting in the room, and Lin Xi did not come out either.

The boat had stopped, and Zhulan went to see her son and grandson, "Did you catch any fish?"

Mingjing, "I caught it, look, grandma."

Zhulan looked at the bucket and saw that she had actually caught two fish. "Not bad. I'll send them to the kitchen to cook later."

Changzhong asked, "Mom, where is Dad?"

Zhulan, "I'm chatting with the Emperor on the other side!"

What is this? We are clearly traveling as a family!

In Ningzhou, at the backyard of the government office, Chang Lian's face was as black as ink as he stared at the doctor massaging his nephew's foot and neck. Ming Hui felt pain and muttered while breathing in and out, "I am so unlucky. Fortunately, I just sprained my ankle and didn't break a bone."

Yuyi sat aside, "Brother, you really dare to jump, that's the second floor."

Minghui bared his teeth, "Do you think I thought that if I didn't jump, you would have another sister-in-law?"

Yu Yueyang thought to himself that he had just arrived in the afternoon and had seen a big drama. He looked at his future uncle with sympathy and could see how difficult it had been these days.

Chang Lian slammed the table, and the teacup vibrated, showing how strong his strength was. "How can this be possible?"

Mrs. Dong felt pained when she heard this, and said softly, "Being angry is harmful to your health, don't get angry."

Chang Lian's face was gloomy. "How can I not be angry? If I don't get angry, the Marquis' Mansion will plot against me."

Dong didn't want to persuade him any more. She had been bullied by many malicious people since she came to Ningzhou. Some people were so stupid and vicious, and their courage was also incredibly big.

Children's mistakes are the responsibility of their parents. Children learn from their parents. The girl who plotted against Minghui today said that she was wrongly plotted against, but she didn't believe it. Minghui saw through the plot at a glance. That was because of her mother-in-law's good teaching!

The doctor left quickly, not wanting to hear too much.

Minghui's feet felt better. "Uncle San, it's not easy for you to govern Ningzhou well."

There are too many local tyrants. Even though the imperial court has cleaned them up, Ningzhou is still complicated. If you are brave, you will have some confidence. As long as you don't make big mistakes, what can you do?

Chang Lian glanced at his future son-in-law, and Yu Yueyang quickly spoke up, "The interests are too intertwined, it's difficult to untie them."

Yu Yueyang has seen this life since he was a child, and he knows all the twists and turns in this matter very well. It has to be said that the emperor is far away and the sky is high, so many people are brave enough.

Chang Lian once again deeply realized that Ningzhou is not Qizhou, and Ningzhou is more difficult to manage than Qizhou. He pointed at the table and asked his nephew, "I have come to apologize, what do you think?"

Minghui, "I've accepted the apology gift, but Third Uncle, don't hold on to it. I don't want to involve the woman's reputation. If the situation gets out of hand, I'll be the one being scammed."

Chang Lian stroked his beard and said, "Have a good rest."

If you can't come openly, then teach in secret.

After the elders left, Yu Yueyang asked, "Now that you have injured your foot, do you need to rest for a few days?"

Minghui chuckled, "I think you want to stay a few more days."

Yu Yueyang's ears turned red as his thoughts hit the nail on the head. It was not easy for him to come here often, so when he came, he naturally wanted to stay for a few more days.

Yuyi, "Brother, you take a rest first."

Minghui really wanted to take a break. He nodded in his heart, thinking that it was not easy for his third uncle to be an official away from home.

In the capital, Changzhi returned home with a letter in his hand. When he saw the lady handing it over, he said, "Let's take a look."

Yuwen took it in confusion, it turned out to be a wedding invitation, "An invitation to my uncle?"

"Well, Gu Sheng's eldest brother is getting married, and Gu Sheng doesn't know many people, so he asked me to give it to your uncle."

Yuwen looked at the date above and said, "Uncle won't be back."

Changzhi knew it, but he didn't tell Gu Sheng. He clicked on the invitation and asked, "Did your mother help you beat up Gu Yan's future wife?"

Yu Wen did not hide it and admitted generously, "I found out that the girl's surname is Li. She is also a poor girl. She had a fiancé who was engaged to her since childhood, but because her family needed money, she had to sign a contract to be a maid. When she reached the age of marriage, her fiancé broke off the engagement and married someone else. In order to have a good reputation, he splashed dirty water on Miss Li, causing Miss Li to not get married at the age of twenty."

Chang Chi, "So many stories."

Yuwen, "Life is more important than fiction."

Chang Zhi let out a long sigh. Since he was the daughter of his family, he could only obey her.

Seeing her father go to change into his official uniform, Yuwen opened the invitation again. Gu Sheng bought a house and land for her elder brother, and they would not live together in the future. Gu Sheng also bought land for herself. The corners of her mouth rose. Gu Sheng was sober. She thought the two brothers would live together and depend on each other.

Yuwen was in a good mood. Now that she knew the wedding date, she prepared gifts for her uncle!

The next day at sea, Zhou Shuren did not sleep well. The wind was a bit strong in the second half of the night, which made him unable to sleep. When he woke up, his eyes were full of blue.

Zhulan wasn't in a very good mood either, but after coming out and seeing the beautiful morning scenery, she could still bear it.

The emperor also got up. He had been on a boat before, so he was used to it. He said to Zhou Shuren with a smile, "It's only the first day. If you can't stand it, we'll go back."

Zhou Shuren is now particularly annoyed with the emperor, "I just recognize the bed!"

The emperor ignored Zhou Shuren's stubborn words and turned to look at the rare scenery. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "It's your credit that the coastal area is so peaceful."

Zhou Shuren's lips curled up, "I dare not take credit for it."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Bring me a telescope."

Zhou Shuren looked in the direction and motioned for Jinyan to get the telescope as well.
