Chapter 772: Remembering

Eunuch Liu continued, "Just now the Empress's maid brought some snacks."

Your Majesty, "Go to the Queen's bedroom."

"yes."

In the Mansion of Marquis Yao, Yao Wenqi sent the visitor away, and smashed the teacup after the visitor left. He now wanted to eat someone's heart. His partners became anxious and acted selfishly behind his back several times. Yao Wenqi's eyes were cold, which meant that they distrusted him more and more. Yes, there was no trust in him from the beginning of the cooperation.

But he couldn't bear to see his plans ruined, so he narrowed his eyes and decided to get rid of those disobedient people.

Soon two days passed and Zhulan went to Yaohou Mansion. When the carriage arrived at the gate of Yaohou Mansion, Zhulan saw that it seemed that she was the only one who came, and the other female relatives all brought their daughters.

Zhulan immediately understood the main purpose of this banquet. The reason they invited her was because they hoped she would bring the Zhou family's daughter.

Mrs. Song lowered her voice, "Second Master Yao is not young anymore, he should have gotten married a long time ago, but I don't know why it has been delayed."

Zhulan knew in her heart that because the Second Young Master Yao and the current Fifth Prince's wife were born to the same mother, it could be seen from the Fifth Prince's wife's dowry that Marquis Yao had abandoned his daughter, and as a result, he might also dislike the Second Young Master Yao.

Of course there is another possibility, that the Marquis wants to find a good marriage for his son, so he has been dragging it on, but the possibility is not high.

Entering the Marquis' Mansion, the house of Yao Marquis was passed down from ancestors and was much larger than that of Shen Marquis' Mansion. The banquet was held in the garden. When Zhulan arrived, quite a few people had already arrived.

Bai sat in the main seat, Zhulan greeted her and said, "Meet the Madam."

Bai said cordially, "I have always wanted to meet you, and now I have met you. Let's chat more later. Come and take a seat."

Zhulan took a seat with a smile on her face. She did not miss the smile in Bai's eyes, especially when she saw that she was the only one there. She knew in her heart that Bai did not like the marriage of a bastard's son to be good.

Zhulan attended several banquets and got to know quite a few people. After a look around, she found that the husbands of the wives of officials invited today did not hold particularly high official positions. The highest official she saw was the third rank.

Zhulan looked at the young ladies sitting together. There were quite a few of them. She thought that the Yao Marquis Mansion was still a marquis mansion after all. Even though there were many gossips, it could not stop people from wanting to marry into the mansion, especially those from officials in the capital who had no background.

After waiting for a while, Zhulan saw Miss Yao II arrive, and Mrs. Bai put away her fake smile when she saw her own daughter.

Yao Yao had a headache. She actually hoped that her mother would stay with her brother, but her mother joined forces with her aunt, which led to today's blind date party.

Yao Yao was sitting next to his mother when he noticed Yang. He was very surprised that his mother actually invited the Zhou family. Then he thought that it must be his father's idea. He must tell his father about holding a banquet. Although Yao Zhegang was disliked by his father, he still had value.

Lord Zhou is deeply trusted by the Emperor, so my father must have had some ideas. However, the young lady of the Zhou family is engaged, and the older one in the Zhou family is Lord Zhou's eldest granddaughter.

Yao Yao lowered her head. It would take several more years for the little girl to get married. Dad really didn't care about Yao Zhegang. If her brother wasn't stupid, it must be her brother that her father wanted to use, as her brother's age was the most suitable.

Finally, County Lord Shen arrived and sat down directly without giving any face to the Bai family.

Mrs. Bai was not angry and continued chatting with the woman beside her.

Zhulan thought that the eldest son of the Bai family was stupid and lacked confidence, so she sipped her tea with interest. County Lord Shen did not take the Bai family seriously, so he was testing the truth. It seemed that he did not believe that the eldest son of the Bai family was stupid.

Zhulan didn't pay much attention to Bai's reaction, but was more concerned about Miss Yao II, who was the key.

Yao Yao felt that Yang was looking at her, and her heartstrings were tense. She felt a little regretful. She regretted that she had revealed too much in front of Yang, which made Yang pay special attention to her.

Zhulan withdrew her gaze and curled her lips. She already knew what she wanted to know.

Suddenly, Mrs. Bai spoke up, "Ladies of the Zhou family, it's a pity that you didn't come today. I only heard that the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family is a beauty, but it's a pity that I only heard her name but never saw her."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "My granddaughters are young. I think they are not suitable for a banquet like the one in the Marquis' Mansion."

The last time Xue Han brought Yu Shuang to a banquet, everyone knew that Yu Shuang was good-looking.

Mrs. Bai understood what Mrs. Yang meant. My granddaughter is young, so don't worry about her. Mrs. Bai curled her lips. She really didn't worry about her. The Zhou family was in its heyday, and she didn't want to give the bastard a chance. Look, the Zhou family is hiding from the Marquis's family!

County Lord Shen's eyes lit up. She only remembered that the young lady of the Zhou family was engaged, but forgot about Miss Sun. In the past, the young lady of the second branch of the Zhou family had a low status, but now it is different. Her father and husband both said that Lord Zhou was a man of great fortune, so the shortcomings of the second branch of the Zhou family can be ignored.

County Lord Shen was thinking about her nephew. The eldest son of her eldest brother was already engaged, but the second son was not. Well, she still needed to visit the Zhou Mansion and see the granddaughter of the Zhou family with her own eyes.

It was not only County Lord Shen who had this idea in mind, but all the female members attending the banquet today also had this idea in mind.

Zhulan felt the scrutiny and knew what was being thought. She had to watch carefully for Yushuang.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was accompanied by Zheng Zhushi. Deng Xiucai had mentioned this Zheng Zhushi before. He had observed him for some days before bringing him to his side. He found that he was not bad, although he was not as easy to use as Wang Ju, but he was still okay.

Zhou Shuren missed Lord Wang a little, especially when he was busy. Having a good assistant could save him a lot of trouble. He thought in his heart that it would be a good idea for Wang Ju to be a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue.

Seeing that the master was stunned, Lord Zheng felt a little nervous, "Sir, did I make a mistake in my calculation?"

Zhou Shuren came back to his senses, "No, the number is correct, you can go back first."

Lord Zheng was relieved. It was rare for him to be with Lord Zhou. There were too many people in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He cherished the opportunity. Many people wanted to be with Lord Zhou. Being chosen by Lord Zhou was like a piece of cake. As long as there was no mistake, it would be fine. "Yes."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, his efficiency was still low. He missed Wang Ju again, the helper he had trained with great difficulty!

In the Jinzhou government office, Wang Ju sneezed violently. Lord Wang frowned, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

But don't get sick, you're in a mess now!

Wang Ju touched his nose and said, "It's nothing. I just felt like sneezing suddenly. Someone must have been talking about me. It must be Lord Zhou."

His father said that Zhou Shuren had fought a great battle in Beijing and was now doing very well in the Ministry of Revenue. Lord Zhou should think more about him and help him more when he comes to Beijing in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Juxin's Qinggong is exceptionally good.

Lord Wang was sad and envious. He also wanted to be talked about by Lord Zhou. Unfortunately, he knew himself well and knew that he was far inferior to Wang Ju. After working with Lord Zhou for several years, he found that Lord Zhou liked capable people.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan went to see the Shangshu together, and the Shangshu was angry.

Xiao Qing was furious, "Look at this."

Zhou Shuren didn't move. Qiu Yan stepped forward to look at it first, then handed it to Zhou Shuren and said, "Didn't you just give money to the Ministry of Personnel a few days ago?"

This was still handled by him.
