Chapter 571 You are really my father’s daughter

The fifth prince Zhang Jinghong was not crazy. He would never go to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Haha, he didn't think that the Crown Prince would choose a good wife for him. Thinking of the candidate for the main wife, Zhang Jinghong clenched his fists and finally looked back at Yao Hou Mansion.

The Third Prince looked at the Yao Marquis Mansion with interest. Did the Fifth Prince decide on the Yao Marquis Mansion? However, why did the Yao Marquis hide away? He was even reluctant to marry the worthless Second Miss Yao. Logically speaking, since the Second Miss Yao had been involved with the Fifth Prince before, wouldn't it be better for her to just marry him?

When the Third Prince saw the Fifth Prince snort and leave, he chuckled. It was getting more and more interesting. He walked forward with his hands behind his back. Although the Fifth Prince was not going to the Prince's Mansion, he really had to go there. It was rare for the Prince not to go to the Zheng Palace.

In the evening, Zhulan told Zhou Shuren about the data she had found. Zhou Shuren had also heard about it before, but he had only heard it from Lord Wang. Now he knew more details. "It looks like a perfect match. Tomorrow is a day off. Ask Changlian to invite He Shu to come over so I can meet him."

Zhu Lan paused for a moment, "Isn't that too direct? I just wrote to Wu Ming, and she hasn't replied yet."

Zhou Shuren said, "Wu Ming will definitely agree. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see this store again."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Well, I'll ask someone to come to your house tomorrow. By the way, is Meng Jie really not going to take the Tongsheng exam this year? Meng Jie is already seventeen years old this year."

She thought Meng Jie had returned to Beijing to take the exam, but unexpectedly he didn't go. To be honest, she didn't care much about Shu Ren, her disciple. If Xue Han hadn't said it, she really wouldn't have noticed it.

Zhou Shuren rinsed his mouth and said, "Meng Ju thinks Meng Jie is still young and needs to wait for two years."

Zhu Lan handed Zhou Shuren a handkerchief, "There must be more reasons than this."

Zhou Shuren wiped his face, "Haha, my wife's intuition is really accurate. It's mainly because of Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming wrote a letter to Meng Juren a few years ago. Meng Juren didn't want his son to be plotted against when he returned to Beijing, so he was not in a hurry to let Meng Jie take the exam."

Zhu Lan really didn't expect this to happen. "Meng Ju is also waiting for you to come to Beijing. He thinks two years is enough time for you to come to Beijing. As long as you come to Beijing, you don't have to worry about Meng Jie being plotted against by Jiang Ming."

Zhou Shuren lowered his head and kissed Zhulan on the cheek, "Madam is right."

Zhu Lan felt upset. "Is power really that tempting? Jiang Ming has become so powerful that even Meng Ju is wary of him."

Zhou Shuren kept Scholar Deng in the capital. Ever since Scholar Deng was labeled as a member of the Zhou family, the information network that Scholar Deng had previously run has revived, which has also been convenient for him. He is more informed about the news in the capital than before.

Zhou Shuren took Zhulan's hand and walked towards the bedroom. "The last time I went back to Beijing, Jiang Ming saw me. I was promoted to the fourth rank at the beginning of the year. I don't know who I am standing behind now."

Zhu Lan sighed, "Once a man's ambition fails, the whole family will suffer. Jiang Ming has been blinded by ambition. I don't think he will bet on the right horse. In the end, the ones who suffer are Dong's sister and two children."

She really likes Dong Yiyi's two children.

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand tightly. The higher he went, the more he saw and experienced, and the harder his heart became. He would not pay attention to Jiang Ming's wife and children. All he could do was to get out of this fight safely. "Don't think about it. Everyone has their own destiny."

Zhulan also sighed, "Maybe I'm really old now, I'm willing to nag now."

Zhou Shuren touched Zhulan's hair, then looked at his own loose hair, feeling very upset. "My hair has turned a lot whiter. I worry about it and waste my energy."

Zhulan thought of the white hair she had pulled out this morning, "I have white hair too."

In modern times, unless it is due to one's own problems, it is rare for people in their forties to have gray hair.

Zhulan was depressed. The average life expectancy in ancient times was short. She and Zhou Shuren didn't know how long they could live. If it were in modern times, people in their forties could still look young and beautiful if they took good care of themselves!

The next morning, Zhulan woke up first and looked at Zhou Shuren with her head tilted. Shuren was really tired. He used to sleep lightly, but now he was so tired that he slept very deeply. He heard dripping sound outside the window and listened carefully. It was raining.

Zhulan didn't move. Listening to the sound of rain had a hypnotic effect. She yawned and fell asleep again. She didn't know how long she slept. Zhou Shuren was having a day off today, so Mrs. Song and Liu Ya would not come in to wake her up.

When Zhulan got up, her son had already woken up and was sitting alone playing with his pillow. When Zhulan moved, Zhou Shuren also woke up.

Zhou Shuren estimated the time based on the brightness of the room. "It's a rare day off, but I got up so early."

Zhulan smiled and said, "It's cloudy and rainy outside, so the brightness inside is not high. It's not that you got up too early."

Zhou Shuren sat up and listened carefully. "It really is raining. This year's spring rain came earlier than in previous years."

Zhulan has already dressed her son. "Spring rain is as precious as oil. The first spring rain is a good sign. I hope this year will be a good year for both weather and rainfall."

Zhou Shuren took his son, who was dressed, and said, "I hope God will have mercy on the poor people."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren. This man always cared about the people. Everything Zhou Shuren did was beneficial to the people. She curled her lips. She could not deny the officials' evaluation of Zhou Shuren, that he was an old fox with deep scheming. However, she could not deny that Zhou Shuren was a rare good official.

After breakfast, Zhou Shuren asked Chang Lian to invite people, which was a sign of respect.

At the Wang Mansion, Lord Wang knew the purpose of the third son of the Zhou family's visit and said happily, "I will call He Shu out now."

Chang Lian greeted him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lord Wang looked at Zhou Changlian, the third young master, who was very famous in Jinzhou City. He had heard his son mention him several times and he spoke highly of him. Of the four sons in the Zhou family, the eldest and second sons were no longer important, so the future of the Zhou family depended on this one. As for the fourth young master, Lord Wang simply ignored him.

Chang Lianren looked around. He was his father's son and had met many officials, so he really didn't care. Yes, he had not only met officials, but also princes!

He Shu came out quickly and greeted him, "Mr. Zhou San."

Chang Lian smiled and returned the greeting, "Mr. He."

Lord Wang smiled and said, "It's getting late. Lord Zhou must be getting impatient. If you have anything to say, please tell me on the way back."

Lord Wang thought to himself that this marriage was a perfect match. If it went through, it would be a win-win situation for both sides.

It was raining in the capital today. Yao Yao was sitting by the window sewing a handkerchief. She heard footsteps but no one turned back. To tell the truth, when she was young, she would practice recognizing people by their footsteps. On a whim, she memorized the footsteps of most people in the mansion.

Yao Xin held a fan in her hand and said, "Second sister is really free and easy."

Yao Yao curled his lips, "It's indeed comfortable."

Yao Xin was furious. Her life had become difficult since her stepmother took over the household again at the end of the year. Her stepmother was a vengeful person, and when she was suppressed too harshly, her anger was directed at her aunt and her.

Yao Yao didn't even raise her head. In her eyes, she had never thought of her half-sister as a fool who was not worth paying much attention to. "Why did you come out if you weren't copying scriptures in the yard to temper your temper?"

Yao Xin hooked her fingers together and said, "I came to congratulate my sister. The Fifth Prince's wife who was robbed by my sister may come back."

Yao Yao raised her head, "Are you really my father's daughter?"

Yao Xin was, "What do you mean?"
