Chapter 729: People should have ideas when they live

Lord Wang hadn't arrived yet, but his voice had come in first. "I heard Lord Wang's happy voice from a distance, but what good news has happened?"

Wang Ju was delighted. "Mr. Zhou has been promoted to the third rank and is temporarily serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The official who will deliver the imperial edict should be here soon."

Lord Wang calmed down for a while. It was a bit disappointing that he was not the Minister of Personnel. Lord Zhou was in the Ministry of Personnel, which was a great help to him. But the Ministry of Revenue was also a good place. "Congratulations, sir."

Zhou Shuren complained about the Ministry of Revenue in his heart, but he was still very happy. This was a big leap. "I'm happy, I'm happy."

Lord Wang listened to Wang Ju telling what happened in the court with dim eyes. This was the advantage of having someone higher up. Wang Ju had a good family background and was well-informed. No matter whether it was a happy event or a bad one, there would be someone to inform Wang Ju. Unlike him, he was completely in the dark.

Lord Wang asked, "Now that you have come to the capital, who will take up the post of prefect of Jinzhou?"

Wang Ju felt that it was most likely him. Zhou Shuren had arranged something for him, otherwise his father would not have been so active in helping. These days, the officials in the government office not only flattered Lord Zhou, but also flattered him. However, he was not sure without receiving the imperial decree. "It all depends on the emperor's will."

Lord Wang smiled. He really asked a unnecessary question. It was certain that it would not be him.

At noon, Zhulan sent away the official who announced the imperial edict. This time, there was no chaos at all. Zhou Shuren sent it back as soon as he got the news. Zhulan was very confident that the emperor would give it to her together with the imperial edict. The reason was very simple. Who asked her to raise Rongchuan!

Zhulan saw that the servants were all happy, "This month's salary will be tripled, everyone should also share in the joy."

Steward Ding said excitedly, "Thank you, Madam."

When the master gets promoted, the servants will be treated as superior when they go out.

Steward Ding felt that he was lucky. Although he experienced some setbacks in his middle age, he was blessed in the second half of his life. In the blink of an eye, he became the steward of a third-rank official.

Zhulan's imperial robes were also changed. As a lady of the third rank, the gems on her headdress were changed and became more gorgeous.

Xue Han whispered, "Mom, Dad might be able to get you a royal consort!"

Her father is so amazing. Rongchuan wonders how many years it will take for her to achieve the same success as her father!

Zhulan touched the imperial robe and she also firmly believed this, "Yes."

Li wanted to reach out and touch it, but she didn't dare. Even though her hands were no longer rough, she still didn't dare to reach out. She could only stare at it curiously, "Mother, this imperial robe is so gorgeous."

Zhulan smiled, "You will wear it too."

Li grinned and said, "Ah, I can only count on my son now."

Boss Zhou was jealous. Mrs. Li could still count on her son to ask for an imperial decree, but what about him? Now his wife disliked him again. Don't think he didn't see the look of disdain in her eyes!

Zhao said, "Mother, now that the imperial edict has arrived, should we hurry up and pack our bags?"

Although they packed up some things privately, they didn't dare to make any big moves. What they packed up were all trivial things that would not be used. After being in Jinzhou for several years, they had accumulated a lot of things!

Zhu Lan said, "You should all hurry up and pack your luggage. Send the packed luggage to the capital first. You don't have to wait to leave together."

This convoy must be very long. People who don't know would think how much money the Zhou family has. It's better to separate them.

Li was a little anxious because there were a lot of things in the first room, but today was her mother-in-law's wedding day, so one day wouldn't make a difference.

The group returned to the main courtyard, and Zhulan sat down and said, "You don't have to surround me, just go do what you need to do."

Xue Han continued, "I'll just stay here with mom. Brothers and sisters-in-law should hurry up and pack their bags, so we won't be in a rush when the time comes."

Seeing that the eldest and second sisters-in-law were silent, Su Xuan smiled and said, "Mother, then our fourth room will go back first."

Zhulan nodded, "Go ahead."

Li blinked her eyes. This fourth sister-in-law was very confident. "Mom, I will go back too."

"Let's all go back. We can just have some fun together in the evening."

Soon everyone went back home. Zhulan took the paper and said, "Girl, come and write a letter to your sister."

Xue Han took the paper and asked, "Mom, do you want to write a letter to the clan leader's family?"

"The letter from the clan leader was written by your father himself when he returned."

Xue Han, "Mom, I have to tell my uncle too."

"Yes, write a few more."

Zhulan arranged for her daughter to write a letter, and she took Mrs. Song to the warehouse. The warehouse had been tidied up, with both valuable and inexpensive items marked. Zhulan said, "I'll ask Butler Ding to come over and transport it to the capital tomorrow."

Mrs. Song, "This trip to the capital is too eye-catching."

"Deliver it in three trips. Divide the collected wood into three batches, and carry some wood with each trip."

Mrs. Song: "Yes."

Zhulan left the warehouse and said, "After entering Beijing this time, we won't have to move again in the future."

Packing is a very strenuous job. Zhulan and Mrs. Song packed some of the expensive items themselves. Now, Mrs. Song is the only one who knows the family's financial situation.

In the eldest room, although Mrs. Li was chubby, she was very clever. There were things everywhere on the floor and tables in the room, but Mrs. Li walked back and forth without knocking anything over.

Boss Zhou initially told him to be careful, but now, he was sitting on a chair watching his wife running around the room.

Boss Zhou felt a little pain on his forehead as he listened to Li's mumbling. "After all these years, you still haven't learned how to put things in order. You put things in such a mess that you can't even find them yourself."

Li glared, "I've been worrying about the children and you all day. I've been focusing on you guys. How can I have the time to think about things?"

Boss Zhou, ".......you are right no matter what."

Li straightened his back and said, "Because everything I said is right."

Boss Zhou, "......."

In the second room, Mrs. Zhao was also busy and sweating. "There are so many things. Why didn't I notice them before?"

Yu Shuang wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was tired of putting away all these valuable things herself. "Mom, I'm sure all the furniture in Beijing is available. Let's get rid of the big pieces that are not in use."

Zhao took two sips of water to quench his thirst and said, "You are right. Some of the things that are no longer useful should be disposed of."

Yu Shuang took a break and continued packing. She had to go back to the room to pack her things. She had a lot of things!

In the fourth room, Changzhi cleaned up his study by himself. Su Xuan felt tired just watching him. "You really don't need a maid to help you?"

Chang Zhi shook his head, "I'll pack my things myself. I'll be able to find them wherever I put them when I get to the capital. If my wife packs them up, it'll be hard to put them back when I get to the capital."

Su Xuan sat on the chair, "Husband, you should also work harder. When will you ask for an imperial decree higher than the county lord?"

Chang Zhi almost dropped the book in his hand when he heard this. "County Lord, second rank, my lady, you have really high expectations of me!"

Su Xuan smiled and said, "You have to have ideas when you are alive. Only when you have ideas can you work hard!"

Changzhi didn't plan to pay any attention to his wife. He really didn't dare to think about becoming a first-rank lady. His father had a chance to ask for a title for his mother, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Su Xuan was just teasing her husband and making him feel a little pressured. She knew in her heart that her father-in-law had had the best of both worlds, and it would be difficult for him to have another one.
