Chapter 344: Easy Heart Disease

Zhou Shuren felt uncomfortable due to the heat. "Water."

Zhu Lan hurriedly poured water for Zhou Shuren, "Hey, don't be impatient, drink slowly."

Zhou Shuren drank it up in one gulp after grabbing it, "I want more."

Zhulan poured him two more cups, and Zhou Shuren felt much better, but his head was still dizzy. Zhou Shuren grabbed Zhulan's hand and said, "I want to tell you something."

"You say."

Zhulan's voice was a little soft. She thought of passing the imperial examination and then she started coughing, her face getting hot.

Zhou Shuren burped, "The emperor tricked me into taking my house in Pinggang. All three houses are gone."

Zhulan, "........"

She wants to hit someone!

Zhou Shuren chuckled, "However, the emperor also said that he would reward us with a house with three large courtyards. The location is particularly good. There is a small garden and a pond in the courtyard. The scenery is beautiful in all four seasons."

Zhulan's desire to do something disappeared, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"

Is her daydream coming true?

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Really? But I have to resolve the situation in Lizhou City before I can give it to you."

Zhulan, "........"

She still wants to hit someone!

Zhulan gritted her teeth as she watched Zhou Shuren fall asleep on the table. No, her heart ached. The emperor was really cunning. Her three houses? She was just calculating how much the house in Pinggang had increased in value!

Wait, how can Zhou Shuren, a runner-up, solve the Lizhou situation? Her guess came true!

Zhulan didn't know that fortunately Zhou Shuren was asleep. She didn't know about the imperial edict in the court, otherwise she would not be able to sleep all night.

Zhulan wiped Zhou Shuren's face and took off his clothes. Zhou Shuren was sleeping soundly. Zhulan pinched his face and suddenly laughed. This man who never suffers losses was tricked today. I wonder how aggrieved he must be!

Zhulan reached out to rub Zhou Shuren's knees. It looked like he had knelt a lot today, and his knees were a little blue. In ancient times, officials had to have a pair of good knees!

The next morning, Zhou Shuren woke up with a headache. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhulan's head resting on his arm. Zhou Shuren's breath smelled of alcohol. He quickly closed his mouth, thinking it was amazing that Zhulan didn't despise him. He hugged Zhulan tenderly, but the movement was a bit too big and Zhulan woke up.

Zhulan rubbed her eyes and said, "You woke up too."

"Well, thank you for your hard work last night."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "It's not hard, but it's very frustrating."

Zhou Shuren recalled carefully. He didn't have any videos when he came back. He soon remembered what he had said. It was indeed very annoying. It was a pity that Zhulan didn't punish him.

Zhulan cleared her mind for a while and asked, "What do you mean by Lizhou City? Were you sent out as I guessed?"

Zhou Shuren smiled and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Zhulan told Zhou Shuren about the parade she saw. "It was obvious that something big had happened. I guessed it."

Zhou Shuren kissed Zhulan on the forehead and said, "Smart, I was sent to Lizhou City as the governor, a fifth-rank official."

Zhulan, "........"

The higher the official position, the harder the job.

Zhou Shuren coughed, "Yesterday there were four imperial edicts in total..."

After hearing this, Zhulan covered her chest and said, "Don't say anything. Let me take it easy."

The imperial edict has been issued, and the house in Pinggang will increase in value many times over. The land has been sold long ago, but she is not bothered at all. What she is bothered about is the house. Although the emperor's words are true, Zhulan has no confidence in the emperor of this dynasty. She only looks at the reality in front of her, which is that she has lost her house and has not received a penny!

Zhou Shuren, "Think about it another way. The house the emperor gave as a reward cannot be bought with money."

Zhu Lan laughed, "Do you have confidence in the emperor's words? I don't have confidence anyway."

Zhou Shuren, "........"

The emperor really didn't know that Zhou Shuren and his wife thought of him so much. Even though he had done a lot of shameless things, he would keep his promises. It's just that there are prerequisites!

At breakfast in the morning, Chang Lian finally saw his father, but his father didn't look very well, so he didn't dare to go up to him.

Zhou Shuren's face was pale from drinking. Good wine is indeed delicious and makes one drunk. His head still hurts.

Wu Ming drank the least amount of wine, and almost no one came forward to toast him. He was the most coldly treated top scholar since the founding of the dynasty.

After dinner, Zhou Shuren called Wu Ming and went to the study. Chang Lian stood aside, dumbfounded. His own son had been standing there for a long time, but it seemed that his father had been ignoring him!

Boss Zhou patted his third brother on the shoulder and said, "Dad and Wu Ming must have something important to discuss."

Chang Lian looked at his eldest brother. He found that he hadn't seen his eldest brother for only a few months, but his eldest brother had changed a lot. The clothes he wore were secondary, the main thing was his aura. Now he could even understand his father's affairs. His heart skipped a beat. The more his eldest brother satisfied his father, the sooner or later their other sons would have to be separated!

This won’t do. Chang Lian walked towards the study.

The eldest brother Zhou opened his mouth and closed it again. He could see a little bit of the third brother's thoughts and felt a little emotional. Everything had changed. The brothers were thinking more and more about themselves, and he wanted to win his father's attention for his sons!

Boss Zhou laughed in his heart. Who could have thought that his father would be so powerful? Now that his father's identity has changed, his thoughts have also changed. He used to think that being the eldest brother was not a good thing as he was always betrayed by his younger brothers. But now it is good to be the eldest brother. The eldest son has to live with his parents. How good it is to live with his parents has been proved by his experience in the capital for a few months.

Er Yue came over and said, "Master, there are officials and eunuchs from the palace outside the door."
