Chapter 821: Generosity

Zhou Shuren got up and washed his face, then took a piece of paper and wrote a reply to Zhao Bo. Zhulan stood by and watched, "Zhao Bo's matter has been settled. Let's go to the manor tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren stopped writing. He had already felt out the emperor's attitude. It would be better to leave Beijing as soon as possible. "I'll do as you say."

Zhulan had already packed her luggage, but had not yet notified each room, so she called a maid to do it.

Zhou Shuren quickly wrote a reply and gave it to housekeeper Wang to send away. He signaled the maids to leave and turned around and said, "I have been visiting several departments these days and asked about two young men of similar age to Yu Shuang. After asking around, I think they are good. When you come back from recuperation, you can ask about the situation in the back house."

"That's great. I've always wondered which family's son he is from."

Zhou Shuren said, "The youngest son of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the second legitimate son of Lord Fang of the Ministry of Works, and the Tao family also have suitable candidates, but we have already married into the Wang family, and the head of the Tao family wants to take sides, so I excluded the Tao family."

Zhulan said, "I've made a note of it. When I return to Beijing, I'll make inquiries carefully."

This is her granddaughter's marriage, which will last a lifetime, so she needs to find out everything carefully.

Zhou Shuren sighed, "The second branch is still weaker."

Zhulan understood that although Yushuang was the eldest granddaughter, because the second branch was weak, Zhou Shuren chose a grandson-in-law who was not the eldest son. "You, as the grandfather, have to worry about it."

Zhou Shuren had a lot to consider. When he died, the family would have to be divided. The second branch was not strong, and Yu Shuang's marriage was too high, which would ultimately be a disaster.

In the first house, Mrs. Li received the news and packed her luggage, humming a song happily.

Yulu likes her mother's energetic look, "Mom, are you so happy?"

Li: "I'm happy, of course I'm happy. I can live in the manor for a while. It's so comfortable."

She had learned the rules and regulations for so many years and had adapted to the life in the rear house, but deep down she still longed for freedom and often dreamed of the days in Zhoujia Village at midnight.

The farm is big and there are not so many restrictions. She has been looking forward to it ever since her family got the farm.

Li continued, "When our eldest wife has enough money in the future, I will buy a manor, and you can live here whenever you want."

Yu Lu felt that if her mother's wish was to come true, she would have to wait until she got married.

Mrs. Dong from the third room couldn't go and was feeling a little depressed. She wanted to go to the manor with her husband, but her husband had to go to the Hanlin Academy and she was worried about leaving him alone at home.

Among the second wife, Mrs. Zhao was the happiest because she could go to the manor to see her husband.

By the time Changzhi and his wife and Xuehan returned home, the luggage in each room had been almost packed.

Su Xuan got the news and pulled her husband back to the courtyard, "I also have a dowry manor, I almost forgot, let's stay with our parents for a few days, and then go to my dowry manor to live for a few days, okay?"

She wanted to live in a world of two.

Chang Zhi was moved, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to mom."

As soon as Su Xuan heard it, she knew it was a success. Her mother-in-law was very easy to talk to. She called the maid and asked her to send someone to clean up the dowry farm first. After the maid left, she said, "My dowry farm is not bad either. I liked fruits back then, so I planted a lot of fruit trees."

Changzhi chuckled, "I must have been blessed in my previous life to be able to marry you."

He really didn't care about his wife's dowry before, but now he cares more about it and noticed how much wealth his wife brought.

Su Xuan snorted, "It's good to know, you have to be nice to me."

"I'm not nice to my wife?"

Although he is not as good as his father, he is not bad either. In the fourth room, he basically listens to his wife in everything.

Su Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "Practice calligraphy. My calligraphy is not good enough. Please don't let me practice calligraphy anymore."

Chang Zhi shook his head, "That won't do."

He still needs to temper his wife's temper. This is a matter of principle and he cannot compromise.

Su Xuan, "......."

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhulan said to Dong: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Mrs. Dong, "Mother, this is what a daughter-in-law should do. Don't worry, your daughter-in-law will take good care of your nephews."

Yes, except for the third wife who did not go to the farm, there were several other children who were studying.

Ming Teng's eyes were filled with tears. He also wanted to go, "Grandma."

Li slapped him and said, "Why didn't you ask for help when your grandfather was here?"

Ming Teng took a deep breath, feeling the pain. His mother had hit him so hard. "Mom, I really want to go."

Li snorted, "If your grandfather allows it, then mother will agree."

Ming Teng was speechless. If he dared to go and ask his grandfather for help, what was the point of wasting time here?

Zhulan tapped Mingteng's forehead and said, "You are being clever."

Mingrui said faintly: "Your friend Ran Xun is waiting to see you today!"

Ming Teng thought for a moment, "If Grandpa lets me go to the manor, my friends can stay behind."

Mingrui rolled his eyes in his heart. He wondered how Mingteng and Ran Xun's unreliable friendship could last until now!

More than half an hour later, the Zhou family's carriage left the capital and headed straight for the farm in the south of the capital. The team of carriages was so long that it was hard not to attract attention.

As soon as the Zhou family left, the news spread.

Inside the palace, the emperor received the news and said to the prince who entered the palace, "It's a clean departure."

The prince smiled, "This also shows that Lord Zhou is very decisive."

The emperor was satisfied, "Has the Ministry of Justice investigated it clearly?"

The prince took out the list and said, "I have checked it out. I followed Zhou Shuren's line of thought and found several more people who were hiding deeper. They are all on this list."

The emperor took it and looked at it. "After so many years of management, this time we must uproot it completely."

The emperor was shocked. The more he dug, the angrier he became. There was no telling how many hidden agents there were in the various departments in the capital. Although the official position was not high, it was an important one. Once there was chaos in the capital, they could play a big role.

The prince's eyes were dark, he was determined to catch them all at once, "My second brother helped my son a lot yesterday."

The emperor patted the prince on the shoulder, "You did a good job."

The second son was used as a knife by the eldest son, and he was satisfied with it. Knowing how to use people and understanding how to use people was what a prince should do.

In the academy, Mingyun was reading an article he had written, which contained the problems pointed out by his grandfather. He felt a shadow over his head and raised his head. "It's you. Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Gu Liufeng was a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean to look at it, I came to borrow your calligraphy copybook."

Mingyun is not a stingy person: "If you want to see it, take it and have a look."

Gu Liufeng wanted to read it. He had never seen the title of this article before. What caught his attention was the place marked by Mingyun. There were comments on it, pointing out the problems incisively. "Can I read it?"

Mingyun laughed, "Of course."

Gu Liufeng took it and said thankfully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're classmates."

Gu Liufeng was touched. Not everyone is as magnanimous as Zhou Mingyun. The more he interacted with Zhou Mingyun, the more he could feel Zhou Mingyun's tolerance. Sometimes he would reflect on himself.

Mingyun looked at Liu Feng standing beside him and touched his chin. He thought that he could invite Liu Feng home next time he had a day off. Coincidentally, he mentioned Liu Feng several times and Grandpa was quite interested.

In Class B, Ning Zhao looked at Ming Teng and Ran Xun, who were good friends, and asked Ming Rui, "Have they always been like this?"
