Chapter 832 What a pity

Mingyun wanted to hold Gu Liufeng, but she didn't extend her hand. Liufeng also wanted to leave a good impression on her grandfather.

At Zhou's residence, Zhu Lan saw the snack in Gu Liufeng's hand and took it herself with a smile, "Thank you for your money."

Gu Liufeng felt relieved when he saw that no one disliked the snacks he bought. "It must be Liufeng who disturbed them."

Zhou Shuren said, "It will take a while for dinner to be ready. Let's go to the front yard first."

Mingyun saw that Gu Liufeng hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, so he pulled Liufeng and said, "Let's go."

Gu Liufeng hurriedly greeted him and then quickly left with Mingyun. Lord Zhou wanted to test him, so he had to perform well.

In the front yard, Zhou Shuren sat down and motioned Mingyun and Gu Liufeng to sit down as well. As for Mingteng, they went back to the yard to change clothes.

Gu Liufeng was very nervous. Ever since he and his uncle met Lord Zhou, he had heard his uncle mention Lord Zhou many times. He could tell that his uncle admired Lord Zhou very much.

Zhou Shuren had a book ready in his hand. "I have heard Mingyun talk about you often, so I will test you today. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask me."

Gu Liufeng was excited. His master was knowledgeable, but his vision was nothing like that of Master Zhou. This opportunity was too rare. "Thank you, Master."

Zhou Shuren liked this child very much, and for the sake of his grandson, he was willing to spend time and effort. Friends were also needed in official circles, and the foundation laid from a young age was much more reliable than future friends in official circles.

Time passed quickly, Chang Lian returned home, and dinner was ready. Because Gu Liufeng was there, they had to eat separately today. Yu Lu at home was a little grown up, and it was not suitable for her to eat in the same room with a man from outside.

Zhulan's side is full of female relatives, and they chat about things going on in the mansion or some gossip they have heard.

At the men's dining table, Chang Lian and Chang Zhi looked at each other. They somewhat understood what their father meant, and they took turns talking to Gu Liufeng.

Gu Liufeng was very nervous, afraid that he had said something wrong, and fortunately all he asked were questions about studying.

After dinner, Mingyun invited Liufeng to the courtyard of the main house and introduced: "This is my room, please come in."

Gu Liufeng felt that the Zhou Mansion's house was very big, worthy of being a house awarded by the emperor. Compared with the Zhou family's, the second courtyard of his uncle's house was only slightly bigger than the courtyard where Zhou Mingyun lived.

My aunt has a nice yard, which was used as a dowry when my cousin got married.

Sir Zhou is truly valued by the Emperor. Even my uncle envies him. But then again, this is because Sir Zhou has the ability. If he didn't have the ability, the Emperor wouldn't value him.

Gu Liufeng saw the seal on Zhou Mingyun's desk at a glance. The material of the seal looked particularly familiar. He picked it up and remembered that this was the material he had chosen. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhou and I are really destined to meet. I wanted to buy this material at that time, and Brother Zhou also knew about the incident, so I didn't buy it. I didn't expect that it was Brother Zhou who bought it."

Mingyun looked at the seal and explained, "This was carved by my eldest sister as a birthday gift to me. I didn't buy the material."

Gu Liufeng had a good memory. He went to apologize in person at that time. What he remembered most was the young lady of the Zhou family who sprained her foot. She was very beautiful. Her ears turned a little red when he recalled it, and he quickly put down the seal in his hand.

Mingyun would not talk about his sister in front of other men, and quickly took out the calligraphy copybook, "This is the calligraphy copybook my fourth uncle gave me to practice calligraphy. I give it to you."

Liu Feng shook his head, "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Mingyun laughed out loud, "It's not expensive. My fourth uncle was reluctant to give me the real thing. The ones he gave me were his own copies."

Liu Feng blinked and took it, "Thank you."

Mingyun said, "My fourth uncle is the most gifted scholar in the family. He has copied a lot of books and calligraphy, and has already filled up a bookshelf. So it's really not expensive."

Liu Feng felt warm in his heart. Zhou Mingyun said this because he didn't want him to have any psychological burden. He felt that everyone in the Zhou Mansion, whether it was Lord Zhou or other members of the Zhou family, got along well with each other and the family was harmonious. He was particularly envious of them.

In the main courtyard, Zhu Lan knew that Gu Liufeng had returned, and she played with her fan, "I think this child is good. If he wasn't a widow and had a powerful aunt, this child would also be a good candidate."

Zhulan really felt it was a pity, so no matter how good Gu Liufeng was, she could only feel sorry for him.

Zhou Shuren is not as attentive to the backyard as his wife is. "In fact, Hu Xia is sensible when it comes to big things."

Zhulan raised her head, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Shuren sensed his wife's resistance and thought for a moment, "It's nothing. I will definitely find a good match for Yushuang."

Zhulan, "Yeah."

The next day, Zhou Shuren's rest was completely over. In the morning, he put on his official uniform, had breakfast, and went to the Ministry of Revenue.

As soon as this man entered the Ministry of Revenue, he was warmly welcomed by the officials of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhou Shuren laughed in his heart, okay, I'll come back and work like a slave.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the room, Doctor Li's eyes wandered, "Sir, these are given to you by the Shangshu."

Zhou Shuren silently looked at the pile of account books on the table, expressionless, "......I understand."

Doctor Li retreated quickly and patted his chest when he left the room. The Minister had been talking about Lord Zhou a lot these days and this was the result.

Zhou Shuren looked through the account book to see what was in it, then his face darkened. Some of the things in it were for Lord Xiao to review, so why did they appear on his desk?

In the court, Xiao Qing sneezed. Ah, it must be Zhou Shuren who was talking about him. Now that he is finally back, he can finally relax a little!
