Chapter 623: Open and aboveboard

The next morning, Zhou Shuren went to the government office, and Lord Wang came over and asked, "I heard that Shi Qing is back?"

Zhou Shuren glanced at Wang Ju, "You seem to be very concerned about my family."

Wang Ju smiled dryly, "I am concerned about you, sir."

Zhou Shuren, "I have my own wife to take care of me, so please stay two meters away from me, Master Wang."

Wang Ju was dumbfounded, "......."

No, he really didn't mean anything else!

Lord Wang came in and looked at the stunned Wang Ju, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?"

Zhou Shuren sat down and said, "Who knows what happened to him? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lord Wang nodded. "We have already counted the collapsed houses in East City. Here are the statistics."

Zhou Shuren took it and put it down without looking at it. He then said to Lord Wang, "How is He Shu these days?"

Lord Wang's mind turned around and he replied, "Everything is fine. He wrote to me last time and said that he had already decorated the wedding room."

Zhou Shuren exclaimed, "He is quite capable."

Lord Wang smiled and said, "How could it not be smooth? Starting a family is a big deal. "If you have nothing else, I will go back first."

"Um."

Lord Wang left the house with his mind still in confusion. Lord Zhou would not mention He Shu for no reason. He took two steps and stopped. If he remembered correctly, He Shu's fiancée's brother was a county magistrate in the border area. Lord Zhou was targeting him!

Zhou Shuren really didn't mean to do that. He just felt a lot after chatting with Shi Qing yesterday, so he thought of He Shu. He just felt that nothing happened to He Shu, and He Shu was also a competitor.

At Zhou's house, Shi Qing said goodbye and left. Zhulan hadn't been to the street for a long time. Now most of the shops on the street were open. Zhulan wanted to buy some wedding supplies for Wu Ning. Most of them had been purchased, but there were still some miscellaneous items that needed to be purchased.

Xue Han was not married yet, so it was not appropriate for her to follow. Zhu Lan found Mrs. Dong. On the way to the store, Zhu Lan asked, "Is Yu Yi asleep?"

Mrs. Dong's heart softened when she thought of the chubby lady. "This girl loves to eat and sleep. She sleeps when she's full. I don't know who she took after."

Zhu Lan laughed, "He must have inherited Chang Lian's style. Chang Lian was the most reluctant to move when he was a child."

Zhulan fell into memories. The Zhou family’s children were all very interesting when they were young.

Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "Is that so? My husband also said that Yuyi looks like me."

Zhu Lan asked, "Chang Lian went out early in the morning. What did he do?"

Mrs. Dong knew, "The book that my husband wanted has arrived in the library. My husband went to wait for it early in the morning. I heard that many people wanted it!"

Zhulan understood that Changlian was under more pressure because of Shi Qing's return, otherwise he would not have rushed to the library in such a hurry. "Please take care of him recently. He is under a lot of pressure."

Dong smiled, "Mom, I know."

Last night, her husband was mumbling in his dreams and woke up in the middle of the night. He didn't sleep for a long time. She knew in her heart that her eldest and second brothers were bachelors, and her husband took the responsibility of the Zhou family on himself. As for Rongchuan, after all, he is her son-in-law and his surname is not Zhou.

Mrs. Dong felt a headache again when she thought of the son her mother kept talking about back home. The third room really needed a son, but having a son was not something that could be done just by wanting one, and she was under a lot of pressure.

When they arrived at the store, Zhulan had a shopping list in her hand and quickly selected what she needed to buy. When she left the store, she stopped.

Dong asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Zhulan looked at the teahouse across the street. She saw a man with a big beard and a foreign physique followed a scholar into the teahouse. She looked again and saw the big beard came out and got on the carriage. Zhulan also got on the carriage. "It's okay, let's go."

She thought the man looked quite fierce and thought something was going to happen!

In front, Ning Xi was sitting in the carriage. He was curious about Lord Zhou that the prince was talking about, so he took advantage of the fact that the emperor was going to restore his status and he was free to move around and went out for a walk. Not long after entering the city, he saw a young man who looked like the emperor, so he followed him to the teahouse.

He originally wanted to go in and sit for a while, but when everyone in the teahouse was looking at him, he realized that he had no choice but to come out.

In the capital, Zhang Jinghong's study room looked at the visitor gloomily, "Are you saying you didn't find anyone?"

"Yes, when we sent someone to check, the person had already checked out and left."

Zhang Jinghong was so upset that he regretted it so much. When he first found out, he was just daydreaming. When he regained consciousness, he realized that the person was gone. "Did you find out anything?"

"I only found out that the person who will be taking part in the exam next year is Shen Yang, and I didn't find any other information."

Zhang Jinghong narrowed his eyes. Taking part in the imperial examination meant that he would come back. This man could not be kept. No matter who replaced him, as long as the real one was not found, he could continue to pretend as a fake one. But once the real one was found, only death would be waiting for him. His hands could not help but tremble. He still remembered the torture of Ling Chi.

Now that I think about it carefully, my father was probably telling him, "Send someone to check it for me, check it carefully for me."

Then he hurriedly said, "No, we can't check it. Please go down."

He can't move now, because too many people are watching him. If he makes any move, it will definitely attract attention. He can't be investigated, he can't be investigated. He can just wait.

In Jinzhou, at the door of the bookstore, Chang Lian and Meng Jie came out holding books. A carriage stopped in front of them. Chang Lian looked up at the open window and recognized the person at a glance. It was really hard to forget the person even with a full beard. "It turned out to be you."

Ning Xu was also happy, "We are really destined to meet. I didn't introduce myself last time. My name is Ning San."

Chang Lian was speechless. Ning San knew it was fake right away. But there was no need for him to hide it. He could find him by asking around in Jinzhou. "Zhou Chang Lian, this is Meng Jie."

Ning Xu's eyes flickered. Zhou Changlian, I've heard the prince mention this name before. The prince said that Zhou Shuren's son will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination next year. It turns out it's him. "Thank you for your help last time, Mr. Zhou. Since we met by chance, I would like to thank you as well. It's almost noon, how about having a quick meal together?"

Chang Lian kept looking at the carriage and the attendants. What he saw today was different from the last time. Last time, they seemed to be foreign merchants. This time, the specifications of the carriage were not suitable for ordinary people, at least not for merchants. Looking at the attendants again, he had a lot of contact with Prince Yao, and they were obviously soldiers. "Okay."

Ning Xu smiled. Although the young man in front of him was mature, he was too young compared to him. He was trying to find out what he was talking about. He squinted his eyes, and he didn't know who was asking who. "Get on the carriage!"

Chang Lian felt Meng Jie pulling his sleeve. Chang Lian moved his hand imperceptibly to indicate that it was okay, and then got on the carriage swiftly without any hesitation.

Ning Xu saw it all and said, "You are quite courageous."

Chang Lian sat down generously, and waited until Meng Jie got on the carriage before saying, "It's not that I'm brave, but you don't have any bad intentions."

And if they really have malicious intentions, he and Meng Jie can't escape. The gap in strength is too big, so it's better to be open and honest.

There is another chapter in an hour.
