Chapter 769: The Honorable Grandpas

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and said, "I am the head of the family, the head of the Zhou family."

I didn’t understand what a father was before, but now I understand. He is the father of my children and the grandfather of my grandchildren. He is the current pillar of this family.

During the night break, Zhou Shuren couldn't sleep and whispered, "The court wants to go abroad to buy food, but unfortunately I can't go. I thought, when I retire and we are still healthy, we can go out for a walk. What do you think?"

Zhulan, ".......It's good, it's good, but it's not easy for you to retire."

Zhou Shuren had betrayed her, and she had a better understanding of the Emperor. She would not let Zhou Shuren go easily.

Zhou Shuren thought about the times he had screwed himself over and said, "I'll figure it out when the time comes."

Zhulan's eyes lit up when she thought of going out for a walk. "We have bought fields and mountains near the capital, so it's time to build a manor. I plan to build it after the autumn harvest, on the mountain, so that we can go to the manor to escape the heat next summer. What do you think?"

Zhou Shuren thought it was a good idea. "It's just that it's hard to build a pond on the mountain, so raising fish is also good."

Zhulan already had a picture of the village in her mind. "This is a bit difficult. There are no springs on the mountain. This is a small mountain, so it's still not easy to get water."

Zhou Shuren, "If the location is not suitable, choose another place."

Zhulan was a little disappointed, "I don't have any money right now, I'll wait for the money to come back."

After some calculation, I realized that even if I got the money back, there would still be too many places where I would need to spend it.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was seven days, and finally it was Zhou Shuren's day of rest. After arriving in Beijing, Zhou Shuren was not idle during his rest time. He made an appointment early and went out to drink tea as soon as he got up in the morning.

Changzhong was unhappy, "Mom, is Dad really taking a day off?"

Zhulan, "It is true that I am taking a day off, but your father promised to go for tea, and people should keep their promises."

Changzhong thought carefully, his father didn't tell him that he would accompany him, and he felt very disappointed, "Mom."

Zhulan hugged her son. She could understand that he really wanted Zhou Shuren to accompany him. She would accompany him whenever she had a day off. Unfortunately, she didn't have time after coming to Beijing. "Mom will accompany you. Can I take you shopping today?"

Changzhong blinked, "Okay, Mom, I want to take my nephew Minghui with me."

"Okay, okay, I'll take whoever you say to take."

Changzhong happily ran to find Minghui, while Zhulan took the letter from Mrs. Song. It was a new letter from Wu Ming.

Wu Ming's letter said that the Zhou family could sell some of the shops they bought on the border, and someone had already made inquiries and contacted Wu Ming.

Zhulan understood that these were some of the forces that had withdrawn and she had no intention of monopolizing them. When she bought it, she just wanted to make money by reselling it. She thought she would wait until next year. Since the price was right, it would be a good idea to sell it sooner or later. It just so happened that the Zhou family was short of money.

Zhulan signaled to Mrs. Song to ask Li to come over. When Li came, Zhulan had already taken out the deed to the shop. She planned to sell two-thirds of it, and the remaining one-third would be divided among her sons in the future.

Li thought her mother-in-law asked her to sell the shop, so she followed her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, we will sell two-thirds of the first house as well."

It just so happened that she sold the shop and got enough money to pay back her fourth brother's wife. With the debt on her shoulders, she didn't have the confidence to face her fourth brother's wife.

Zhulan, "Okay, go get the deed, I'll arrange for Butler Ding to leave in a moment."

Li responded and trotted back.

Zhulan smiled, "You are still impetuous."

In this life, Li can't change.

Mrs. Song thinks that the first wife is doing well and is living a comfortable life.

After arranging things for Butler Ding, Zhulan took her son and grandson to go shopping. At this time of the year, the hottest time of the year has passed, and it is only almost autumn, so the sun is a bit hot.

Changzhong and Minghui were interested in everything. After getting off the carriage, the two guys didn't want to sit in it anymore. They looked at the roadside stalls one by one, and they were even more excited when they saw the jugglers.

Zhulan stood behind them and stared at the two little guys. When the circus was over, the two children opened their purses. They were short and tiptoed to put the money in.

Zhulan was in a particularly good mood looking at the two little guys.

Changzhong held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, the tricks just now were amazing. Are they also practicing martial arts?"

He had seen his nephew Mingteng playing with a stick and used to think that his nephew was very good. But now, compared with breaking a stone with his chest, his nephew Mingteng was not that good.

Zhulan smiled and said, "Yeah, I think I've practiced it before."

Changzhong clapped his hands and said, "My son wants to learn it, too."

Zhulan was stunned, then burst out laughing, "Do you want to learn how to break rocks with your chest?"

Changzhong shook his head and said, "My son thinks it's amazing."

Zhulan already had a picture in her mind. The little guy had a big stone on his chest. She wanted to laugh just thinking about it. "Let's not learn this Kung Fu. When you are older, let Zhenyan Shenxing teach you. Both of them have good Kung Fu."

Changzhong has seen people who are cautious in their words and deeds go up the wall, but he still thinks that the big stone is broken in the chest is powerful, "Will they break the big stone in the chest?"

Zhulan's eyes were full of smiles. "When you go home, just ask them and you'll know."

Changzhong took note of it, then touched his belly and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Zhulan thought of the restaurant. It was really good when she ate there last time, but it was a pity that her son didn't go. Thinking that she would have money coming in in the future, she said, "Come on, Mom will take you and Minghui to eat delicious food."

Changzhong had already forgotten about his father, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren had just come out of the teahouse when a carriage stopped in front of him. Zhou Shuren looked at the carriage with its curtains closed. He stood there without moving, while Jianyan had already stepped forward to block it.

The curtain of the carriage opened a crack, and Zhou Shuren saw the jade pendant and was speechless. He signaled Jianyan to step down and get on the carriage.

Jianyan looked at the carriage, returned to the Zhou family's carriage, and signaled the driver to follow.

Inside the carriage, Zhou Shuren greeted them, "I have seen the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

What were these two most noble men doing out here? And, if he remembered correctly, the prince was under house arrest!
