Chapter 841: The Director of the Ministry of Revenue

The prince put down his folder and said, "The prince's mansion has cleared out a courtyard in the front yard for you to live in."

Shen Yang stuttered a little, "Thank you, thank you, Brother Crown Prince."

But in his heart he thought, no wonder the prince was so good to him, several rewards he received were given by the prince, because he was his elder brother.

At noon, during lunch at Zhou's house, Zhulan ate while listening to her grandson talk.

When Jiang Du gets excited, he gestures, "Grandma, Beijing is so prosperous. My fourth uncle took me to a bookstore. There are so many books in the bookstore, including many travel notes and many foreigners in Beijing."

When his grandmother gave birth to his uncle, he followed his parents to visit his grandmother and lived in the prefectural government's backyard. He had seen foreigners on the street, but not as many as in the capital.

This time I was very close to foreigners and it was interesting to listen to what they said.

Zhulan looked at her grandson who had relaxed a lot after going out for a walk, and said with a smile: "There are more than just bookstores in the capital, there are also teahouses, bookstores, art galleries, etc. You can go and have a look."

Jiang Du's eyes were opened today. Beijing is indeed the capital city that everyone yearns for. It has everything. Grandpa is so amazing that he can take root in the capital. "Grandma, Grandpa is so amazing. He is the most amazing person I have ever met."

Zhulan laughed and tapped her grandson's nose, "Then follow your grandfather's example and work hard."

Jiang Du nodded heavily, "Yes."

Changzhong was stunned and could not bear to look at his eldest nephew. The word his eldest nephew talked about the most was "Dad". Even his own son did not mention "Dad" all the time. When he thought of the heat in his eldest nephew's eyes when he talked about "Dad", Changzhong felt that his nephew Minghui was still the best!

Chang Zhi's smile never dropped. Someone came into the family who worshipped their father more than his third brother. His third brother had to abdicate.

After lunch, Zhulan flipped through the album sent by the Xu family. It was an album of overseas paintings with very good painting techniques. The album contained all landscape paintings that the Xu family bought in foreign stores.

Because Zhulan and the Xu family had mentioned buying new things, the Xu family really kept it in mind and gave Zhulan a glass cup yesterday and a picture album today.

Mrs. Song didn't think it was pretty. "It's not well drawn."

Zhulan smiled and said, "This painting is about the artistic conception."

Mrs. Song didn't understand. She only thought that the paintings of this dynasty were the best. She didn't understand why her mistress had been looking at it for the whole morning, and there were only a few pages in total. What was there to see?

Zhulan was thinking about something else. She took a piece of paper and wrote down what she wanted. She would give it to the Xu family and buy it back when she met it when they went out to sea again.

Not only that, she also wanted to visit the shops in the capital. After the opening of maritime trade, many shops selling imported goods appeared in the capital. She wanted to go there before but didn't have the money. Now that she has money, she wants to buy a lot.

In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jinghong borrowed the imperial edict and held it tightly. He survived, "It's great to be alive."

God knows, he had been having a long dream, which had become his nightmare, bloody flesh, bright red skeleton, and he was finally freed.

Yao Xin supported her husband and looked at the completely messed up Prince's Mansion. She suddenly felt dazed, but she was prepared because of her husband's dream. "It's cold outside. I'll help you go back."

Zhang Jinghong coughed, "Aren't you surprised?"

He thought Yao Xin would be shocked, helpless and resentful.

Yao Xin suddenly laughed. Now there was nothing to hide. "You must not know. You were dreaming."

Zhang Jinghong's pupils shrank. He really didn't know that Yao Xin knew it a long time ago, but she didn't reveal it. She grabbed Yao Xin's hand tightly, "You."

Yao Xin felt that it was good to no longer be the Fifth Prince's consort. She felt relaxed and blinked playfully. "I think now is not the time to discuss. I need to send you back to rest first. I still have a lot of things to do. By the way, the imperial edict says that you can take some things with you. Give me a list so that I can pack them up."

Zhang Jinghong touched the imperial edict. He almost died this time, but the reward was generous. He could take away the things he collected, and he could also take away his current name. Yes, he didn't have to change his name, and he would still be named Zhang. This meant a lot to him. It meant protection. Even if he lost his identity as the fifth prince, he was not afraid of anyone who could harm him.

Zhang Jinghong, "Let's go back to the house. I've already prepared the list. Some things have already been packed. You can pack the rest."

Yao Xin hummed, helped her husband lie down, and got the order. She felt more confident. Her husband had already planned on the success, so she had nothing to be afraid of. "Please give me more advice in the future."

Zhang Jinghong looked directly into Yao Xin's eyes, which made Yao Xin nervous. Then he smiled and said, "Please give me more advice."

Yao Xin knew the secret a long time ago but never told anyone. He kept her feelings for him in his heart.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren and Qiu Yan looked at each other, digesting the order that had just been conveyed.

Zhou Shuren really didn't expect that Zhang Jinghong, after losing his status as the fifth prince, actually entered the Ministry of Revenue and became the head, a sixth-rank official. This was not a low starting point.

Xiao Qing was a little annoyed. He felt that Zhang Jinghong was a problem, but the emperor had issued an order and he could not refute it. "You guys should go back and get busy too!"

After Zhou Shuren and the other two came out, Qiu Yan spoke up, "The real and fake prince turned out to be real. This Zhang Jinghong is really amazing. Not only did he survive, he also became an official."

He didn't have to go through the imperial examination step by step, and he was directly promoted to a sixth-rank official, and an official in the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. He had never thought that people had such great potential. Zhang Jinghong had changed a lot. "I heard that he was seriously injured. He needs to recover in order to join the company."

Qiu Yan had a lot to say, "He is really capable. Not only did he save his name, but he also saved his surname."

Zhou Shuren patted Qiu Yan on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it. There are a lot of things waiting for us!"

Qiu Yan wanted to say something serious about the Fifth Prince. He really didn't have much energy to work. He estimated that the whole capital was discussing this matter now.

In Marquis Yao's mansion, Yao Wenqi felt more and more depressed when he heard the news about Zhang Jinghong. From his understanding of the Emperor, he believed that Zhang Jinghong must have performed a great deed to be able to retire safely.

Zhang Jinghong could not live, and he had to keep a trick up his sleeve when he dealt with the orphans of the previous dynasty.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jingyang said quietly, "Zhang Jinghong is quite capable."

As they got to know each other better, he really admired Zhang Jinghong. Zhang Jinghong was becoming more and more insightful as time went on. He really wasn't annoyed by him, and on the contrary, they got along quite well.

As for Shen Yang, Zhang Jingyang was resistant to him in his heart. His father had five sons, four of whom were of similar level, and suddenly someone so unbearable appeared, lowering their levels!

The third prince Zhang Jingshi was in a state of panic. The fourth prince had taken action against Jiang Huai and implicated his maternal family. He had no time to care about the real or fake fifth prince.

In the evening, the prince took Shen Yang back to the palace. On the way back to the palace, Shen Yang hesitated to speak several times. The prince pretended not to notice at first, but when it happened more and more, he frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. It's not nice to be so hesitant."
