Chapter 695 The last person in the family to know
After leaving the Political Hall, the Dean's mind was in a mess. He didn't understand. Why did the Emperor bring Shen Yang here today but didn't say a word to Shen Yang? What was going on?
He had only taken a few steps when Eunuch Liu caught up with him.
The dean scholar asked, "What did the emperor tell you to do?"
Eunuch Liu picked up the snacks in his hand and said, "The Emperor said that the kitchen has made a lot of snacks today. You came at the right time. Each of you can take some back."
The dean, "......."
He felt that something was wrong today. Could it be that he was dreaming and hadn't woken up? But the weight in his hand told him that this was all real!
Rongchuan took the snack and blushed. He knew best what he had done. If the emperor saw it, it would be over, over. His image would be ruined. Fortunately, the emperor didn't care.
Shen Yang suddenly felt better. It was worth his trip to the palace as he got some snacks.
In the Zheng Palace, the prince didn't want to guess anymore, "Father, is Zhang Rongchuan related to Ning Mansion?"
He saw it very carefully. It was the most delicious snack that his father had specially given to Eunuch Liu to give to Zhang Rongchuan. His father was too kind to him today, too kindly, as if he was treating him the same way as when he was a child. This was definitely not easy.
Emperor, "I know what you are thinking, son, you have reached a dead end. I will give you a hint. This child will not only look like his parents."
The prince's eyes widened. Yes, the child will look like his uncle and grandfather. If that's the case, then the emperor's attitude is right. The emperor only treats his own children in this way. "Is he Xiaowu?"
Your Majesty, "You are not stupid. Blood ties cannot deceive people. I thought you should have guessed it long ago."
The prince was speechless. This really had nothing to do with stupidity. Xiao Wu looked too safe, not like his father and mother at all. And there was Shen Yang in front. His father would pull Shen Yang out from time to time to do something special. How could he guess?
The prince's mind was in a state of confusion. It seemed that his father had no intention of recognizing Xiaowu as his son. "Father, I really look like my second uncle."
Your Majesty, "You are wrong. He doesn't look much like your second uncle. Instead, he looks exactly like your eldest uncle."
The prince has no impression of his uncle who saved the prince's life, and his mother never draws him. The uncle has different meanings in the hearts of his father and mother. For his father, there would be no father today without his uncle's sacrifice. For his mother, his uncle saved her husband and future.
Now that the prince knew Rongchuan's background, many things became clear to him. "Father, don't you want to drag Rongchuan in?"
"Well, it's not easy for this child to be alive. He has experienced life and death several times since he was born. Your mother and I owe him a debt. You should take care of him in his current situation. Just keep this in mind and do it in secret."
This is also the reason why he explained it directly to his eldest son. He is very busy and cannot pay attention to him all the time. Having one more person to look after him will make him feel more at ease.
The prince said, "Father, I will take good care of you."
He was happy that Xiaowu was Rongchuan. On the one hand, it was blood relationship. On the other hand, his father's tone revealed that it would be great if Xiaowu could be rich all his life. It was not that he was cold-hearted. After all, they did not grow up together. Even if he had feelings for her, he would think of himself first.
The prince thought to himself that having grown up in the palace and taught by his father himself, his character had been engraved in his bones. Rongchuan had a good temper and he really liked him.
In Jinzhou, Zhou Shuren received a summons not long after he arrived at the yamen. This time he didn't need to rush there, as the emperor gave him time to enter the palace tomorrow.
Zhou Shuren handed over the work at hand to Wang Ju. He was also ready to go home to pack his luggage. This time he should stay in the capital for a few more days. "The government office is in your hands."
Wang Ju still didn't understand why Zhou Shuren sent the letter in advance. When he first investigated, he said he would wait. "Sir."
Zhou Shuren patted Wang Ju's shoulder and said, "You did all the research on this folder."
Wang Ju didn't want to recall the days of investigation, "So?"
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Nothing, I'll go back home first."
If he left, the planning of Jinzhou City would naturally have to be handed over to someone who understands planning, and Wang Ju was the most suitable person.
Wang Ju looked at Zhou Shuren walking away and chuckled. So it must be a good thing, or something great is waiting for him. He hummed a song and thought, "What a nice day today."
At the Zhou residence, Changzhi was holding his younger brother and teaching him to read when he saw his father, who had changed into his official uniform, walk in. "Dad, why are you back?"
It’s only been a short while since I arrived at the government office!
Zhou Shuren took the fat son from Chang Zhi's arms, "The emperor summoned me to the capital, so I came back to pack my luggage. It will take a few days to go to the capital. You are the only man in the family now. When I am not at home, you have to take good care of the family, especially Mingyun and the others. You should pay more attention to going to and from school every day."
Changzhi was a little nervous. He had an older brother before, and this was his first time to be the head of the family. There were quite a lot of people in the family. "Dad, I will try my best to take good care of the family, don't worry."
Zhou Shuren was confident in his education, but just in case, "If anything happens, you should ask the county magistrate. If you can't make up your mind, just listen to the county magistrate."
Changzhi, "......."
Therefore, in Dad's heart, Su Xuan is much more reliable than him, and this realization made him feel depressed.
Changzhong understood, "Dad, are we going to look for mom?"
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Well, the luggage has been almost packed, and Daddy is here to pick you up."
Changzhong was so happy that he clapped his hands and said, "I can see my mother again."
Zhou Shuren turned around and left without saying anything else. With the county lord around, there was nothing to worry about at home.
Changzhi looked at his father walking away and thought, "Great, Dad is leaving so easily!"
Zhou Shuren took his son back to the yard to change clothes. After packing the luggage, he took his son to the carriage. The boy was very happy. "This is the first time I go out with my dad."
Zhou Shuren pulled his son's clothes and said, "Stop jumping. You might get bumped."
Changzhong stopped moving. "Daddy holds me, and I won't move."
Zhou Shuren, "......."
If this is wrapped all the way, his arm will be broken!
In the capital, the Hanlin Academy, the president of the academy went to work, so Rongchuan and the others also dispersed. Rongchuan generously opened the snacks he brought back. Distributing the snacks brought out of the palace to the editors who would work together in the future could also help to build closer relationships.
Rongchuan talked to the editors for a while before taking the few snacks that were left to look for his third brother.
There were quite a lot of people in the room where the Shujishi was. Rongchuan saw his third brother at a glance. His third brother was looking through the materials from previous years very seriously.
Afterwards, Rongchuan saw Shen Yang again. Shen Yang's snacks were still wrapped.
Rongchuan came in and attracted a lot of attention, with some snacks in his hands.
Chang Lian raised his head when he heard the voice, "Why are you here?"
Rong Chuan walked in with a smile, "I just came back from the palace. The emperor gave me some snacks as a reward. I have already divided them up and left a few pieces for my third brother to taste."
Chang Lian felt warm in his heart, and his love for this brother-in-law was not in vain.
Thank you for your concern~~~
