Chapter 1646 Reason

At the Zhou Marquis's residence, Zhulan was watching her son solve a problem when Steward Ding came in and said, "Sir, Lu Jiaqing is here."

Zhu Lan motioned for someone to come in, and Lu Jiaqing came in, "The boy has met the Madam."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have grown a lot taller."

Lu Jiaqing was in the Prince of Qin's Mansion and was familiar with Changzhong. This child came to the Marquis' Mansion many times, and Zhulan also became familiar with him. This child was ambitious and had a good talent for martial arts training. Rongchuan praised him many times.

Lu Jiaqing replied, "I've been a little greedy lately."

Changzhong had already stood up and was writing, "You're growing up too fast. You're almost as tall as me."

Lu Jiaqing smiled and said, "I practice martial arts all year round, and the food in the Qin Palace is good, so I grew fast."

Changzhong sat back in his seat, "Brother-in-law said you are a good candidate for martial arts training. I heard that you can perform fifty moves under the leadership of the guard leader?"

Lu Jiaqing curled his lips, still a little proud, "Yeah."

Zhu Lan motioned for Lu Jiaqing to sit down, "Have some snacks."

Changzhong asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Lu Jiaqing said, "I will stay in the military camp for two years and will leave the day after tomorrow."

Changzhong was surprised, "How old are you?"

Lu Jiaqing smiled and said, "That's why I go to exercise."

Changzhong exclaimed, "Brother-in-law really thinks highly of you. This must have been arranged by brother-in-law!"

Lu Jiaqing admitted, "Yes, that's what the King of Qin meant."

Changzhong regretted that he couldn't see Lu Jiaqing often. "Leave me your address and I'll bring you something when the time comes."

Lu Jiaqing curled his lips and said, "Okay."

Zhulan signaled Qingxue to arrange the meal, as she wanted to keep Lu Jiaqing for dinner.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and Zhulan already knew what happened on the grassland. "The boss is worried and wants to go see Mingyun in person."

Zhou Shuren, "It would be nice if you could go and take a look, Boss."

"Do you have anything to say to Mingyun? Write a letter and have the boss deliver it."

Zhou Shuren did have a lot to tell his eldest grandson. "I will write a letter after dinner."

Zhulan waited for Shuren to change his clothes, "Ran Wan hasn't seen Mingyun for a long time. I thought Li should go with us and take Ran Wan with us. What do you think?"

Zhou Shuren was not worried about the danger. No one dared to move when the emperor was furious. He thought for a moment and said, "Bring more guards."

Zhulan, "Yeah."

Zhou Shuren said, "I heard that the ranch has a good harvest this year, so the boss would rather leave the ranch empty when he comes back, so he bought some cattle and sheep and brought them back to the farm."

"good."

When the food was served, Zhulan talked about Lu Jiaqing, "Rongchuan arranged for Lu Jiaqing to go to the barracks. Is this a clear way to get away with it in front of the emperor?"

Otherwise, Rongchuan would not be so careful, especially in a place like a barracks.

Zhou Shuren really didn't know, but he believed in the child he taught, "It should be clear. The emperor often went to the Qin Palace and should have met Lu Jiaqing. Even if he didn't meet him, Rongchuan would have mentioned this child. Rongchuan praised him many times, which shows that this child is a talented general."

Zhulan, "Just make sure you get through this. This child is lucky."

Zhou Shuren smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

Zhulan waited until dinner time before going to bed and asked, "Who touched Wu Ming?"

Zhou Shuren, "It's nothing more than that the prince's mother's family has a greater motivation, and of course it is not ruled out that they want to step on Wu Ming to ascend to the throne."

Zhulan understood, so it was still the prince's mother's family who did it, "too eager."

"Well, it has nothing to do with our mansion anyway, so let them worry about it."

The emperor had suffered from the excessive power of the prince's maternal family, and he hated those with claws in his heart, but he didn't see that the Wen family had become obedient after being punished.

The next day, Zhulan said a few words to the eldest brother, and then he rushed back to pack his luggage. Li and Ran Wan went with them, and the two children were still young, so they stayed behind. Finally, the children were brought to the main courtyard.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were worried about their son, so they arranged the convoy and guards and were ready to set off early the next morning.

Boss Zhou tried to get back before the prince's wedding. Fortunately, the road to the grassland had been repaired, making the journey much faster.

Inside the palace, the emperor and the emperor emeritus were chatting. The emperor emeritus said, "Speaking of which, the Zhou family is very blessed."

The emperor sighed, "Yes, Zhou Shuren was able to catch smuggling during his vacation, investigate the navy, and fill the treasury. Wu Ming would have no chance of survival without Zhou Mingyun when he was assassinated."

The thought of it makes him scared. Among the one hundred assassins, Wu Ming was the one he favored as a future Pythagorean minister, whom he cultivated for the crown prince. Zhou Shuren was old after all. Even if he hoped that Zhou Shuren would live a hundred years, it was just a hope. Who could really live a hundred years?

The Emperor, "Recently, forget it, I don't care anymore."

Let the son worry about what happens to the grandson.

The emperor knew what his father wanted to say, but he had no intention of complaining. His son was still young, and his second son had been in a lot of trouble recently. If he were to go to the grassland, he would show no mercy.

Your Majesty, "How many years will Wu Ming stay in the grassland?"

The Emperor, "Yes."

He understood that Zhou Shuren would not get a high position in Wu Ming. After all, they were related by god. Stroking his beard, he thought that Wu Ming was not too old and it was good for him to guard the grassland outside.

The emperor said with a smile, "The prince is getting married, and in two years my son will be a grandfather."

The emperor smiled and said, "I am in good health and can live to see the next generation."

It is a blessing for him to be the emperor at his age.

In Zhou Hou Mansion, Yu Wen was lying lazily when she heard footsteps. "Mom."

"You have good hearing."

Yu Wen opened her eyes and said, "There are only a few masters who can enter my courtyard. It's a problem if I can't remember them all."

Su Xuan handed the painting in her hand to her daughter, "Take a look."

Yuwen was puzzled, "Is it for my daughter?"

Su Xuan sat down and looked at the lady. She saw that the lady looked at the painting and then put it aside. "Are you not happy? Mother specially asked someone to buy it for you."

Yu Wen was speechless, "You spent a lot of money to buy Gu Sheng's paintings from someone else, and I am happy?"

If she wanted to do this, she would have done it long ago. She would not waste money. The price of the plum blossom painting is expensive, but it has collection value. She cannot make much money if she sells it now, but she can still make a hundred taels. The antiques handled by the Ministry of Revenue are still lower than the market price.

Su Xuan, "...You are too rational."

"Is rationality not good enough? Do you really have to follow the love brain that grandma says is good?"

After she finished speaking, she shuddered. Thinking about the story her grandmother told her, she found it terrifying.

Su Xuan was speechless. "I am being nosy."

Yuwen held her mother's arm and said, "I know that you did this for me because you love me. Mother, I know what's going on. Don't worry, your son-in-law won't run away."

Su Xuan tapped the girl's forehead helplessly, "You two are too opinionated."

Yu Wen narrowed her eyes, "Mom, you can help my brother more. According to my brother's personality, I will make you worry."

Su Xuan took a deep breath and said, "You two both make me worry enough."

In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Yudie accepted the invitation of her fiancé's mother and went out of Beijing to visit a temple. She left early in the morning, but came back soon after.

Zhulan was stunned when she heard the news in the main courtyard. After waiting for a while but seeing no sign of Yudie, she could not wait any longer and stood up to check on the second room.
