Chapter 663: Need Silver

Chang Lian was speechless, "You are really very realistic."

Rong Chuan spread his hands, "There is no way. The memories of my childhood are too deep. Even though I have eaten well and dressed well these years and have never lacked money, in my heart, only money makes me feel at ease."

Although he has come to terms with the experience, it still haunts him. He will never forget the feeling of hunger.

Chang Lian patted Rong Chuan on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that this antique can't be sold. After all, it was given to me by Lord Ning."

Rongchuan felt very regretful, "That's why it's such a pity."

After hearing what Rongchuan said, Zhulan realized what she had overlooked. Zhang Datie's family, this will definitely be investigated. What Zhang Datie's family did cannot be erased. If a child from an ordinary family was treated like this, it would destroy Zhang Datie's family, let alone the top royal family.

Zhulan thinks that Zhang Datie's family is doomed. She doesn't think that Rongchuan's biological parents will let Zhang Datie's family go just because he says so. Maybe it's not obvious on the surface, but it's hard to say what they will do behind the scenes. However, the faint hope that Zhang Datie's family can survive still lies with Rongchuan.

Zhulan sat and listened to Rongchuan and Changlian chatting. At first, Changlian really disliked Rongchuan, but now they get along the best.

Zhulan glanced at the maid standing at the door. Yes, the entire mansion is full of the emperor's people. They didn't touch them before because there was nothing worth moving in the Zhou Mansion. Now there is Rongchuan.

Recalling what Rongchuan said just now, Zhulan lit candles for Zhang Datie's family. Rongchuan might have just said it out of recollection, but the listeners would not think so in their hearts. Anyway, if her own son had treated her like this since childhood, I'm sorry, she would also be cruel.

Mrs. Dong held two gift lists and said, "Mom, I have already recorded everything."

Zhulan looked at Dong, she was happy from the inside out. It was true that Changlian passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, a person of orthodox imperial examination background, and had a father who was an official. After passing this difficult first step, everything would be smooth in the future, and Dong would also be the wife of an official.

Among the four daughters-in-law, Dong was the first to become an official's wife, which had different meanings.

Zhulan took the gift list and took out the one for Rongchuan, "Rongchuan, keep this one for yourself."

Rongchuan took it and said, "Okay."

He has seen all these gifts, and they can all be included in the betrothal gift.

Zhulan continued, "Don't look at the gifts, seal them up first. The food in the kitchen should be ready, let's eat first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Song brought people in to seal the gift.

The meal was very sumptuous, with a total of twenty dishes, all of which were arranged by Mrs. Dong. Mrs. Dong said, "Twenty dishes, two portions of perfection, I hope that my husband and Rongchuan will have smooth sailing in the future."

Zhulan thought to herself that Chang Lian was indeed lucky. He had made a fortune by riding on Rongchuan's influence, and he would surely benefit from his career in the government as well.

Changzhong also held up a small wine glass and toasted in a serious manner, "Although my brother's wine glass is filled with water, this is also my brother's heartfelt gift. Congratulations to my third brother and his wife."

Zhulan was surprised. Changzhong asked for a small wine glass, and Zhulan agreed because she thought it was interesting. This was not what she taught him, but what the child thought of himself. She felt that the environment really educates people. Changzhong was exposed to this since he was a child, which destined him to mature precociously.

Chang Lian felt itchy inside when he heard this. "Thank you, little brother."

He also hopes to have a son. If his son is as smart as his younger brother, he feels that he will die without regrets.

Rong Chuan became the third place in the imperial examination, and he was full of confidence. This was his capital. Even though his background was unknown, he smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows. Rongchuan was very smart and he must have guessed that her life experience was not simple, but he still recognized Xuehan in his heart. Zhulan was glad that she was not wrong about Rongchuan. This kid was not the kind of person who would be distracted by wealth and fame.

Mrs. Dong held her daughter in her arms and said, "Yuyi would also like to congratulate father and uncle-in-law."

Chang Lian saw the lovely smiling face of the young lady, and his heart softened, "Yuyi, grow up quickly."

Mrs. Dong is now extremely satisfied and grateful to her father for choosing a good marriage for her. With this in mind, she will definitely be nicer to her nephew.

Everyone in the Zhou Mansion was harmonious and peaceful, eating and chatting.

Inside the palace, the Queen's bedroom was not so beautiful. Originally, the Emperor and the Queen had dinner together, and they wanted to celebrate and make Rongchuan proud.

The Emperor wanted to give the Empress a surprise, so he had someone imitate Rong Chuan's return to Zhou's mansion.

At first, the emperor and empress were very happy, but after hearing Rongchuan's words, their mood became bad and their mood was particularly low.

The emperor motioned the learner to leave, "This child has suffered too much."

Since the Queen knew about Rongchuan, she called the third brother and got to know Rongchuan better. The more she knew, the more evidence she had from all sides showed that the child was her son, and now all that was left was to meet him.

The queen was happy but also felt particularly distressed. After hearing what Rong Chuan said, her eyes were red. "Third brother, too. Why give me antiques? It would be much better to give me silver."

The emperor was angry, but after hearing what the queen said, he was amused. "Who gives silver as a gift? Lord Ning gave silver. Is this a slap in the face?"

The queen was unhappy. She stood up and sat down again soon. "I gave all my savings, money and everything else to Jingchen. Now, most of what I have is your gift. I don't have much money left. The supplies in the palace cannot be sold."

After doing the math, the queen realized that she actually had no money left. If she had known this, she would have accepted the money as a tribute.

The emperor listened to the queen talking about her wealth, "I have."

The queen's eyes lit up, "Yes, the emperor has it."

The emperor's private treasury is full of treasures, and none of them have been distributed to any of his sons yet!

The emperor laughed quietly. In all these years, he had never seen the empress be so straightforward, nor had he seen the empress be so lively. "I'll keep it for the child first. When we can recognize each other in the future, I'll give it to him."

The queen was delighted. "How about you give me some first? You see, it's not easy for you to reward me, but I can. Just give me more and I'll find a way. Just give me silver."

The emperor has not been suffering in recent years, but he was really suffering in the past few years. The court has always been short of silver. The emperor has treasures, but they cannot be sold, and there is no silver in the warehouse.

Things have been good in the past two years, and the emperor has money in his hands.

The emperor was surprised. "After all these years, this is the first time you've asked me for money."

In the past, the Empress had never asked him for money in order to save money in the harem.

The queen smiled and said, "This is for my son."

The emperor was grateful in his heart, grateful that Rongchuan came back, otherwise, the rift in this life would never heal.

The queen was delighted and asked, "How should we deal with this Zhang family?"

It is unforgivable that my most anticipated son is treated like this.

Your Majesty, "Leave it alone for now. This is something that Rongchuan should handle himself."

The Queen's eyes lit up a little, "Rongchuan will stay in the capital, right?"
