Chapter 731: The prince is a little depressed

Zhou Shuren raised his glass and toasted Wang Ju again, "Congratulations."

Wang Ju was in high spirits. Today was also a happy day for him. He was no longer Zhou Shuren's successor. He had become the prefect of Jinzhou. "I have been with you for the past few years. You have taught me a lot. I would like to offer you a toast today."

Zhou Shuren drank the wine in his glass and said, "I'm going to Beijing now. I hope Mr. Wang can continue to study hard."

Wang Ju smiled and said, "I will."

Zhou Shuren was satisfied. He just needed to work hard. "Yeah."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back a little late. Zhulan and the others were a little sleepy. Hearing the noise, Zhou Shuren pushed the door open and came in, his steps a little unsteady.

Zhulan helped him down, "Did you drink a lot today?"

Zhou Shuren exclaimed, "I'm so happy today."

Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren sit down. Well, Zhou Shuren was indeed happy that his efforts were rewarded. "I guessed that you would drink too much. Drink the sobering soup on the table first."

Zhou Shuren was a little drunk, but he had good drinking habits. He drank the sobering soup obediently, then stood up and changed his clothes.

Zhulan looked at him and thought, forget it, he looks so confused, he can’t take a bath today. She helped Zhou Shuren change his clothes and wiped his face with a towel.

Zhou Shuren suddenly reached out and hugged Zhulan's waist, "Is the imperial dress gorgeous today?"

"Huali, I'll wear it for you to see tomorrow morning."

This was what Zhou Shuren fought for her. The imperial robe was the most beautiful and gorgeous of all her clothes.

Zhou Shuren let go of his hand, "Now let's see."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren who was full of expectation and said, "Okay, I'll put it on right away."

"Um."

Unfortunately, by the time Zhulan had dressed herself and had Mrs. Song comb her hair, and by the time she put on the crown and entered the house, Zhou Shuren had already fallen asleep on her stomach.

Zhulan chuckled, carefully closed the door and went out, took off her headdress and clothes, and wiped Zhou Shuren's face. It was already very late.

Zhou Shuren mumbled in a daze, "A new starting point."

Zhulan leaned in closer to listen carefully, and said with a smile, "Well, a new starting point."

The next day, Zhou Shuren opened his eyes and recalled the request he had made last night. He actually fell asleep. He sat up with regret. Zhulan was not beside him. When he heard the door open, Zhou Shuren looked up and was stunned. He felt that the gorgeous imperial robe and crown really suited Zhulan.

Zhulan turned around and asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Shuren, "It looks good."

At this moment he felt that his efforts were particularly worthwhile, and Zhulan shared the glory with him!

Zhu Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "When you are promoted to the third rank, you have the confidence."

Zhou Shuren also laughed, "Yes, there is no shortage of fourth- and fifth-rank officials in the capital, but there are not many above the third rank."

Zhulan felt uncomfortable with the pressure on her head. She was not used to wearing such a heavy crown. Her scalp was a little painful. "I'm going to change my clothes. You should get up and wash up too!"

Zhou Shuren didn't see enough, but he could see the weight of the headdress. Zhulan's neck was getting lower and lower. "Okay."

Mrs. Song took off the headdress, and Zhulan exhaled, "This weight is not something that ordinary people can bear."

Mrs. Song smiled and said, "You'll be fine once you get used to it."

Zhulan was silent. Fortunately, she rarely wore the imperial robes.

During breakfast, Zhulan mentioned Wu Yong's engagement. "The Wang family has replied. The girl agrees. I am thinking of going to propose marriage."

There is no need to ask Tao this time. She is the best matchmaker for the Wu family.

Zhou Shuren put the fried dumplings into his son's bowl and said, "The emperor gave me fifteen days to take office. The handover here is not troublesome and can be completed today. I plan to stay in Jinzhou for eight days. For the rest of the time, I need to visit Ran Zheng's friends and meet Mr. Wang. It's better to go to the capital as soon as possible."

Zhu Lan counted the days and said, "Then Wu Yong's marriage must be arranged as soon as possible. I will go and propose tomorrow."

"Um."

After dinner, Zhou Shuren went to the government office. Zhulan was watching the servants moving the sealed boxes when Mrs. Song came over and said, "Mr. Sun and his friends are here."

Zhulan glanced at the gate of the courtyard and saw several gentlemen standing there in a reserved manner. "Please come in."

When the tea came, Zhulan said, "You gentlemen have been in the Zhou family for more than two years. This time the Zhou family is going to Beijing, I would like to ask if you will go to the capital together. You will still live in the mansion, but you will have four days off every month, and the monthly salary will not change."

Zhulan didn't want to hire a new teacher. She was satisfied with several teachers in the past two years.

Mr. Sun and the others looked at each other. They had two more days of rest every month. Although they had left Jinzhou, the capital was not far away. The Zhou family's career was flourishing, so they didn't want to leave the Zhou family.

They were originally nervous, but now they are at ease. Zhou Mansion is a good place, without any dirty tricks. They like it very much. Mr. Sun took the lead and said, "We are willing to go to the capital together."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Okay, gentlemen, pack your bags and see you in the capital in half a month."

Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Then we will go back first."

Zhulan nodded, "Okay."

Mrs. Song sent someone out, and when she came back, she said, "Second Master's reply has arrived."

Zhulan, "I think I forgot something. I forgot to tell Changyi about such a happy event."

Mrs. Song put down the passage and said, "Second Master, pack light and hurry on your way. The letter has been delivered and Second Master has also moved to another place."

Zhulan had already opened the letter. Changyi remembered Zhou Shuren's words and wrote a letter every time he arrived at a place. He wrote several letters in a row, but there was no drought. Zhulan said, "Changyi will be the last person in the family to know."

Mrs. Song smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about that, unless we ask the servant to chase after the Second Master on horseback. However, the Second Master has been gone for some time, and if we really catch up with him, he will probably be close to Lizhou."

Zhulan hummed.

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei received the reply letter from her mother. The more she read, the deeper her smile became. Jiang Sheng was taking a break. "What did my mother-in-law say?"

Xuemei narrowed her eyes, "Dad and Mom meant that in autumn, Jiang Du and the Li family will go to Jinzhou together. In the future, my son and Mingyun will study together, and Dad will teach them personally."

Jiang Sheng also had selfish motives, but he was calm enough to suppress them. Now that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had spoken, Jiang Sheng grinned and said, "So, by that calculation, there are only a few months left."

Xuemei put down the letter and said, "Yes, I need to think about what to bring for my son."

Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "It's a bit early for you to think about it now."

Xuemei also laughed. This was related to her son's future, so of course she was anxious. "But, mother must have prepared everything for her son. Actually, there is nothing for him to bring."

Jiang Sheng felt emotional in his heart. It is said that a married girl is like spilled water. Among all the people he has met, no one has done as much as his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He was really surprised when he received the dowry last time. His father-in-law and mother-in-law valued their daughter as much as their son.

Jiang Sheng looked at his parents who were filled with joy when they heard the news and chuckled. His parents really chose a good in-law family for him!

In the capital, Rongchuan was summoned to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, the crown prince just came back from outside. Rongchuan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Meet the crown prince."

The prince felt a little depressed. "No need to be polite."

Rongchuan, "Thank you, Prince."

The prince stepped forward, "Let's go together?"

"yes."

The prince took two steps and said, "I heard you were going to see the house tonight?"

Rong Chuan was somewhat surprised, "How did the prince know?"

My right eye is a little uncomfortable, and there was a thunderstorm, heavy rain and strong wind at home. I will write one chapter today... I will make up for it slowly...
