Chapter 780 Let’s Chat

At Zhou's house, it was a coincidence that Zhulan went to the kitchen. Changzhong wanted to eat meatballs, and she also wanted to walk around, so she went to the kitchen to see what was prepared for lunch. She smelled medicine in the kitchen, so Zhulan naturally asked why they were decocting medicine when no one in the family was sick.

After asking, she found out that it was Chuchu who prepared the medicine. She thought her third daughter-in-law was feeling unwell, so she went directly to the third hospital to see her.

Before I even entered the door, I heard the old woman beside Chuchu talking about a recipe for having a child. She also said that many people in her hometown had given birth to sons by drinking this recipe, and it was particularly effective.

Zhulan walked into the house with a frown on her face, her eyes fell on the maid who came with Dong's dowry. Her eyes were so sharp that the maid was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

Mrs. Dong saw her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, you came here in person, but do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhulan motioned for everyone to go downstairs, and when no one else was in the room, she said, "I went to the kitchen and saw the medicine being boiled. I knew it was what you wanted. I thought you were feeling unwell, but after listening to it for a few times, I realized it was a recipe for having a child."

Dong's cheeks were red, "Mom, I just want to try it."

Zhulan patted Dong's hand and said, "Mother knows you want to have a son, but children are a matter of fate. You gave birth to Yuyi, which means there is nothing wrong with your body. It's just that you are not destined to have children yet. You must not take medicine. Medicine is three-quarters poison. If you really harm your body, it will be too late to regret it."

Mrs. Dong was shocked. "How can a recipe for having a baby harm your health?"

Zhulan, "Don't disbelieve me. Take the prescription and ask the doctor. See what he says."

Mrs. Dong believed it. Her mother-in-law had given birth to so many children and had her own experience. She also trusted her mother-in-law all along, so she knew what she said must be right. "Mom, I don't want to eat anymore."

"That's right. Your body is your own. You should take good care of it. Okay, lunch should be ready soon. I'll go back to the main courtyard first."

"My daughter-in-law will be here soon."

Zhulan and Song Pozi left. Zhulan said, "You should keep an eye on the maids that came with Dong's dowry. I didn't think much of it before, but today I think this maid is not good."

Mrs. Song said, "Yes."

Ministry of Revenue, the Crown Prince arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was surprised, the Crown Prince went to six ministries, he thought the Crown Prince would go to the Ministry of Rites after the Ministry of Personnel, he didn't expect him to come to the Ministry of Revenue.

Then he thought again, the second prince and the third prince both had to deal with the Ministry of Revenue, and he didn't find it surprising. Your brother will always be your brother!

The prince said, "You two don't need to worry about me. I am fine being alone. Go and do your own things."

Qiu Yan didn't want to get involved with the princes. When the crown prince came to the Ministry of Revenue, he naturally didn't want to accompany him if he could avoid it. "I'll take my leave."

The prince said, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren had something to do, "I'll take my leave."

The Crown Prince said, "Master Zhou, please stay."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

Who just said you guys are busy? Just go and get busy!

Qiu Yan glanced at Zhou Shuren. He felt that Zhou Shuren was most likely the prince's man. It would be better for him not to have too close a relationship with Lord Zhou in the future.

Zhou Shuren understood the look in Mr. Qiu's eyes and was speechless. He really wasn't like that, really not.

The Crown Prince gestured, "Master Zhou, please sit down."

"yes."

The prince smiled and said, "I have always wanted to have a good chat with Lord Zhou. I didn't have the chance before, but now is the perfect opportunity. Lord Zhou, please don't hesitate."

Zhou Shuren is a man of great talent, and the emperor values ​​him highly. This time when he was sent to the six ministries, the emperor hoped that he would stay in the Ministry of Revenue for more time. Not only would he be able to understand the economic conditions of various states across the country through the Ministry of Revenue, but he also wanted him to communicate more with Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that he didn't want to have a serious talk with the prince. The prince's personality was just like the emperor's, and his abilities were inherited from the emperor. He was very careful every time he spoke, fearing that if he said too much, he would get himself into trouble.

In the afternoon, at the gate of Hanlin Academy, Ning Xu came early to wait for Rongchuan. The head of Hanlin Academy just came back and asked, "Lord Ning, is there anything you need to come to Hanlin Academy?"

Ning Xi said, "I am here to wait for Zhang Rongchuan."

The dean also heard some of the words and was puzzled. Lord Ning was really good to Zhang Rongchuan. "Lord, please wait in the courtyard."

Ning Xu waved his hand, "No, I can stay outside the door. If the dean has something to do, please go in first, don't worry about me."

The dean did have something to do, so after paying his respects he entered the Hanlin Academy.

Ning Xu felt that the coachman from the Hanlin Academy was looking at him. He turned around and saw the coachman covering his mouth with his hands. He had a lot of question marks over his head and didn't understand.

Soon, Rongchuan and Changlian walked out of the Hanlin Academy. Changlian saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion and asked Rongchuan, "Aren't you going home today?"

Rong Chuan smiled and said, "I came home today just to have dinner with Lord Hou."

"Okay, I'll go back first then."

Chang Lian reacted only after he got on the carriage, and Rongchuan hadn't called him dad yet!

Rongchuan got on the carriage. After the carriage drove for a while, Rongchuan said, "I have been thinking for a long time today. Does my mother still have relatives? Is there anyone in my grandparents' family?"

Ning Xu was very stable. "Your mother is an orphan. Dad has been looking for her all these years, but to no avail."

Rong Chuan felt it was a pity, but he quickly let it go, "Then when should I go to worship my mother?"

Ning Xu smiled and said, "After you return home."

Rong Chuan was still nervous when he thought about returning to the Ning family. "I'll do as you say."

Ning Xu still hadn't heard the word "Dad" once, but it didn't matter. He would keep trying to improve his favorability. He didn't believe that Rong Chuan wouldn't call him "Dad". When he thought of the emperor's jealous look, he felt particularly good.

In Zhoujia Village, it would take several days to choose a day for ancestor worship. Jiang Sheng asked at the dinner table, "Changzhi, how many days will you go to the clan school to teach students these days?"

Changzhi is no longer the stubborn person he used to be. "But what did the clan leader and brother-in-law say?"

Jiang Sheng was impressed. The higher his father-in-law's official position, the more Chang Zhi changed. "Well, the clan leader wants you to see how the clan school's teaching progress is and what the clan school lacks."

In the past, the eldest brother and Changyi always came back together. Both of them were not good at studying, so the clan leader had no idea what to do. This time, Changzhi came back with them. Changzhi has a famous teacher and the guidance of his father-in-law. If the clan leader does not let Changzhi go to the clan school for the waiting day, he will not be able to sleep.

Changzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to go to the clan school."

The clan school in Zhoujia Village was expanded last year. There are many students now. People from all over the country are willing to go to the Zhoujia clan school. During the morning reading every day, people living near the clan school can hear it. The children who study are the foundation of the Zhou family and the backbone of the future.

Jiang Du looked at his fourth uncle, "Uncle, which class are you going to teach?"

There are four classes, A, B, C, and D, and he is in class A.

Changzhi understood the clan leader's thoughts, "Uncle will stay one day in each class."

Jiang Du smiled and said, "I will go with my uncle tomorrow."

Jiang Sheng laughed, his son didn't want him anymore. However, his son admired his father-in-law and it was normal for him to admire Chang Zhi. Not to mention his father-in-law, Chang Zhi was a scholar at that time and was not very old. His son regarded Chang Zhi as his target.

In the capital city, in the Queen's bedroom, the Queen was very depressed after hearing what the Emperor said. A few days ago, she saw the Emperor getting jealous, and she even advised the Emperor to be more magnanimous. Now it was her turn, and she felt really bad.

The emperor felt better when he saw the empress's depressed look. "Do you need me to comfort you?"
