Chapter 738: Testing

In the Hanlin Academy, Rongchuan has not been busy these two days. He is compiling history books bit by bit. This is a detailed job, but Rongchuan is a tenacious person who can stay calm and not feel bored at all.

"Rongchuan, Shen Shujishi is looking for you."

Rongchuan put down his pen and looked outside the door. Shen Yang was standing outside the door. He stood up and thanked Ren Bianxiu, who was also an editor.

Rong Chuan frowned slightly and left the room, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Yang wanted to turn back, but he thought of his empty wallet, "I heard you wanted to buy a house. I happen to be selling a house. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Rongchuan no longer wants to buy a house. "No, thank you."

Having said that, Rong Chuan turned around and went back to the house. He really didn't like Shen Yang. He had been disgusted with Shen Yang since the first time he saw him. They had been in the Hanlin Academy for such a long time, but the situation had not improved at all. Instead, he disliked him even more.

Shen Yang pinched his purse. He didn't want to look for Zhang Rongchuan, but among the people he knew who were capable, those who had ignored him. Most of them were people who couldn't afford to buy the house. He knew that when Zhang Rongchuan bought the house, he was very jealous that a child foster husband had more money than him. He regretted even more that he had missed the opportunity to become the Duke of Jiuning.

Shen Yang frowned. His house was obviously nice, but no one wanted to buy it. No one had come to see the house for a long time. He had only a few dollars in his pocket, and his life was getting harder and harder.

In the palace, Shen Yang found Rong Chuan, and the emperor knew the news. He had no say in Shen Yang's house, and he was eager to see who bought the house.

This house has a good location and a nice size and layout, but it hasn't been sold for such a long time.

The emperor realized that his method of catching fish was useless, and the person behind him was using the sale of the house to test his attitude towards Shen Yang. His ambiguous attitude had already made the other party suspicious.

At the Zhou residence, Boss Zhou came to look for his father and saw his father lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed. He thought his father was asleep and was about to turn around and leave when he heard, "Boss, come in."

Zhou Laoda entered the house. His parents' room was really cool. His eyes fell on the ice basin. Well, the ice in the basin made him envious. "Dad."

Each room has a limited amount of ice. The eldest room has more children, and their physiques are more or less like him and his wife, so the breasts of the children are rounder. In summer, the eldest room is most afraid of heat, so they would like to put an ice basin all day long. The ice is the most wasteful in the eldest room, while the main courtyard is the most economical. My mother can't stand being too cold, and my younger brother can't be too cold either because he is young. My father goes to the yamen during the day, so the main courtyard uses the least ice.

This is something I have enjoyed in recent years. In the past, I didn't find summer unbearable in the countryside. Now that I have become a luxury, it is difficult to save money.

Zhou Shuren looked at the boss, "You didn't come here just to cool off, did you?"

Boss Zhou shook his head, "No."

Zhou Shuren, "Ah, tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhou Laoda said, "Dad, you've been promoted to Beijing. This is a great joy for our family. We were busy moving a few days ago. Now that our family is in Beijing, isn't it time for us to return home to worship our ancestors?"

Dad can't go back, but as the eldest brother, he seems to have always been the one to go to worship the ancestors and is very familiar with the process.

Zhou Shuren had thought of this a long time ago. "I was busy moving to Beijing a few days ago. Now that I'm here, I'll tell you after I've settled down for a few days. I still can't go back this time, and I need you, the eldest brother, to go back and worship the ancestors."

Zhou Lao Da felt that he was meddling too much. How could his father forget such a big thing as ancestor worship? "Dad, your son is too nosy."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Big brother, I don't think you are too talkative. You are doing well. You are the eldest son of the family. Give me some confidence. Today, only the two of us are here. I have seen your efforts and changes over the years. You have done well. In the future, just let go and do your work. I will support you from behind."

The boss still lacks confidence!

Zhou Lao Da was very afraid of his father. He had been afraid of him since his father changed. Over the years, his fear of his father had never diminished. But after hearing his father's words today, his fear was finally gone. This was his father, his real father. "Dad, your son will not let you down."

Zhou Shuren sat up and patted the boss's shoulder. "Well, this time you and Changzhi go back together."

Boss Zhou was stunned, "Dad, do you want to keep Changzhi in your hometown?"

"No, he wants to come back. The capital is the place that can best train people. He hasn't been back for a few years, and it's time for him to go back and see how the family has changed. He wants to work hard to make up for his shortcomings. Returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors is a chance for him to personally experience this honor."

Only when you feel it yourself can you protect this honor from the bottom of your heart!

Boss Zhou was deeply moved. This was his father. He worked hard for the Zhou family and worried about his brothers. "Dad, you have worked hard these years."

It’s not easy for my father to get to where he is today through farming and studying.

Zhou Shuren was helpless, "Look at you, you're almost going to be a grandfather, these tears are too cheap."

After saying a few words, his eyes turned red. Then Zhou Shuren fell silent. Ah, Mingyun is not young anymore, and her marriage is settled. In a few years, Zhou Lao Da will become the grandfather, and he will be promoted to the great grandfather?

Zhou Shuren was speechless at this thought. How old is he?

Boss Zhou felt embarrassed, "Dad, I just feel sorry for you. You have a lot more white hair in the past two years."

Zhou Shuren glanced at Boss Zhou coldly, pointed at the door, and then closed his eyes.

Boss Zhou no longer felt the heat in an instant. His father's eyes just now showed a strong disdain for him. The change was quite big. Did he say something wrong again?

During dinner in the evening, Zhou Shuren talked about ancestor worship and praised the eldest brother, which gave him more confidence.

Fourth room, Changzhi was very surprised, "Dad actually let me go back with him to worship the ancestors."

Su Xuan was not surprised. "You haven't seen Master for a long time. It's a good time to go back and see him."

Chang Zhi was speechless. "Master has been traveling around these past few years. I may not be able to see him even if I go back. I received a letter a few days ago and he was still appreciating the beautiful mountains and rivers!"

Su Xuan laughed, "Now that my master has passed on the academy, I no longer have to bear the burden. I can live a carefree life now."

Changzhi thought of some of the articles sent by Yuxin, "With the change in my mentality, the articles written by Master have been greatly improved."

Su Xuan, "I will pack your luggage now. You and your brother will leave the day after tomorrow."

Changzhi reached out and teased his son and daughter, "Come to think of it, I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time. I don't know how much it has changed."

Su Xuan touched her son and daughter, "If the two children were not too young, I would really like to go back with you. I want to see what kind of place Zhoujia Village is. It is a place with outstanding people and spiritual land. It can even produce such a powerful person as my father-in-law."

Changzhi smiled and said, "In two years, when the children are older, I will go back to take part in the provincial examination. It won't be too late for you to go back with me."

Su Xuan was really looking forward to Zhoujia Village. "Okay."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Zhou Lao Da and Chang Zhi left. This time, Shen Xing followed them.

Zhulan felt like without her two older sons, there seemed to be a lot of people missing from the family.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan sent their two sons to the carriage together. After the carriage went away, Zhou Shuren also got on the carriage to go to Wang's house. Today was Lord Wang's day off.

I feel like I’m going to die. The air conditioner is turned up too high and it makes my head uncomfortable. The code is very slow and a little bit incomplete. I’ve already owed two chapters for today’s chapter. . . . .
