Chapter 818: Finding an Opportunity

Changyi doesn't think it's a big deal. He and his elder brother had a harder time when they were young. They also grew up in the fields. "They are helping their parents."

This saves you from having to go back to pick up the missed rice ears, which can save a lot of effort.

He did not calculate the money by the hour, but by the acre. The amount of money earned from harvesting one acre was how much money. Those who were capable could earn more, and it could also prevent people from wasting time.

Changzhong saw a child fall down, and he quickly got up and continued working, blinking and hugging his second brother's neck. It was the first time in his life that he faced the different destinies of others so directly.

In the evening, Zhulan received a letter from Zhuangzi. It was written by Changyi and mainly talked about Changzhong. He mentioned that Changzhong became very obedient after seeing the farmers' children working.

Zhu Lan put down the letter and said to Zhou Shuren, "This child has been used to servants since he was a child and has no feelings for them. Today, he has grown up a lot."

Zhou Shuren picked up the letter and said, "Well, it seems that going to Zhuangzi does have its advantages."

Zhulan asked, "Do you really want to take a day off tomorrow to recuperate?"

"I thought about sleeping with the window open at night to make it look more real."

Zhulan felt distressed, "That's not necessary."

Zhou Shuren whispered, "I don't dare to bet on the emperor's mind, so it's better to be more sincere."

Zhulan leaned on her husband's shoulder and said, "I'm afraid you'll suffer, and I'm also worried about your health. If it would be better if I were sick, I'd rather be sick myself."

Zhou Shuren held his daughter-in-law's shoulders tightly, "Pah, pah, I'm afraid you'll get sick. You've worked so hard to get well, don't scare me."

Zhulan felt depressed, as the era of imperial power was too depressing.

It rained heavily at night. Zhou Shuren really opened the window. Zhulan tossed and turned all night, staying with her husband.

Zhou Shuren fell asleep in the second half of the night and had a good dream.

When Zhulan woke up in the morning, she was covered with a thick quilt but didn't feel cold. However, Zhou Shuren had a stuffy nose, which meant he caught a cold.

Fortunately, it was not serious and I was able to take leave to recuperate.

In the morning, Zhou Shuren was very happy. He wrote a letter and sent it to the palace. He also sent someone to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and waited for the doctor to come at home.

After the morning court session ended, the emperor saw the memorial about recuperation. The number of days required for recuperation was quite a lot, as many as ten days.

The emperor looked at it and threw away the letter, "What a cunning guy."

Did Zhou Shuren really think he didn't know what happened in the Zhou residence last night? He really knew how to find an opportunity.

The emperor snorted, "Ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to go to Zhou's house to have a look. Also, go pick out some good ginseng and send it to Zhou's house. Tell him to let Zhou Shuren take good care of himself."

I’m letting you go for ten days today, but you’ll have to pay me back in the future.

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and said, "As you wish."

The prince got the news and said to Lord Sun who had just returned from the morning court: "Lord Sun, you still have a lot to learn. It's not enough to just pretend to sleep."

Look at Zhou Shuren, he is very good at finding opportunities.

Lord Sun twitched the corner of his mouth, which eventually turned into a sigh. If he had Zhou Shuren's royal favor and luck, he wouldn't be bad either. It's useless to say anything now. He just hopes to leave the Ministry of Justice smoothly.

Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shuren's illness is a big deal, Chang Lian is on leave, "Dad, let's call the imperial physician."

Zhou Shuren just felt a little cold, there was really no need to call a doctor, as if he had some serious illness. He waved his hands, "I heard you say yesterday that you were going to a party, so don't wait for me, go quickly."

Chang Lian didn't want to go. The party was not as important as his father's illness. "Dad, your son will stay with you."

Zhou Shuren was happy that his son was worried about him, but he was also speechless. He just caught a cold and it was not a serious illness!

Zhulan came in with the boiled medicine, "Don't watch over your father anymore, let him have a good rest."

Chang Lian sat on the chair, still not wanting to move, "Mom, I'm worried about you."

Zhou Shuren was getting impatient, "Alright, I, your father, left the window open on purpose to keep cool last night. You don't need to ask me anything else. It's not something you should know."

Chang Lian was dumbfounded. He never thought that his father would deliberately get sick. "Dad."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Go, go, hurry up, I'm finally getting some rest, don't hang around in front of me, it makes me upset."

Chang Lian walked out of the door in a daze, and just in time saw the housekeeper bringing Eunuch Liu into the yard, and hurriedly said, "Eunuch Liu."

Eunuch Liu said politely, "The Emperor is worried about Mr. Zhou, so he sent the imperial physician to take a look."

Okay, Chang Lian didn’t leave and followed his father into the house. He was afraid that his father would reveal his secrets.

As a result, Chang Lian realized how unnecessary his worries were. The imperial physician came and prescribed a lot of nourishing prescriptions. In addition to the emperor's words, Chang Lian waited for Eunuch Liu to leave and whispered, "Dad, does the emperor know that you deliberately got sick?"

Zhou Shuren looked at the prescription and the ginseng with a puzzled look, "Well, the emperor doesn't want your father to continue mixing it, so now is the right time to recuperate. When the recuperation is over, your father and I should go back to the Ministry of Revenue."

Although it's a pity that I can't go to the Ministry of War, but when I think of Lord Li Zhao, it's okay. It's better not to go.

Chang Lian shuddered. He was indeed too young. He thought he had learned a lot, but now he realized that he had only learned the basics. "Dad, my son is out."

Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."

Zhulan waited for Changlian to leave and said, "It seems that my son was frightened."

Zhou Shuren looked away from the ginseng. "You have to come into contact with it sooner or later. If you come into contact with it sooner, you will be more alert."

Zhulan picked up the prescription and said, "The Emperor wants you to take good care of yourself so that you can continue to work hard for the royal family!"

Zhou Shuren pointed at the ginseng and other tonics and said, "These ginsengs are good, but I can't use so much, so let's put them away."

Zhulan has collected a lot of ginseng over the past few years. Adding the ginseng Wu Ming gave her every year, the Zhou family has a lot of ginseng, but it is not as good as the one given by the emperor. "I will save some for my daughters to take away when they get married."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll recuperate for two days, then we'll go to the manor. I calculated that I can stay in the manor for six days."

Zhulan was very happy. "We have been feeling nervous since we came to Beijing. We should relax a bit."

Having said that, Zhulan couldn't sit still anymore. She wanted to go and pack her luggage. Yes, except for Chang Lian who had just taken office, she wanted to go with all the other rooms.

Zhulan was stunned afterwards. She used to only want to have a private life with Zhou Shuren, but now she has lost this thought. It's true that after being the mistress of the house for so long, she has to think about the whole family in everything.

In the Ningguo Mansion, Rongchuan Xiumu was in the study room listening to his grandfather and father talking.

Duke Ning, "Zhou Shuren's illness happened by chance, is it going to cause any trouble?"

Ning Xi shook his head, "The Emperor hasn't summoned me to the palace for a long time, so I don't know much, but it should be related to the Ministry of Justice."

Duke Ning drank tea and said, "The Crown Prince is in the Ministry of Justice now. The Second Prince has also returned to the capital. I heard that the Second Prince was also in the Ministry of Justice yesterday."

Ning Xu, "Yes, Zhou Shuren probably didn't want to get involved in the fight between the princes, so he claimed to be sick."

Duke Ning thought it would not be that simple, and said to Rong Chuan: "You don't need to teach Ning Zhao and Ning Ming today, you can go back to Zhou's house!"

Rong Chuan had been thinking about it in his heart, but his father brought him to the Duke's Mansion, so he could only follow him first, "Yes."
