Chapter 871 Complaint

At Zhou's house in the evening, Rongchuan didn't think about going home to complain to his father, as his father had no control over the Ministry of Revenue. After thinking it over, he decided to tell his uncle about this.

After Rongchuan had his meal, he chatted with Xuehan in the snow for a while, and then went home feeling satisfied.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Zhang Yang has really become very capable."

Zhulan was unhappy. As a mother, who would want her daughter to share her husband with others? "She has too many evil thoughts."

Zhou Shuren held the hand warmer in his hand, "So he should be allowed to calm down. It just so happens that he finds accounting boring, so I'll give him a new job."

Zhulan was curious, "What kind of work?"

"The warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Penalties is not enough, so I applied for another place. It's not cleaned up yet. I think we can let Zhang Yang take care of it. What do you think?"

Zhu Lan chuckled. Zhou Shuren would not let Zhang Yang enjoy it in such a cold weather. "I think it's good. It can make people calm down."

Zhou Shuren also thought it was a good idea. The courtyard was ventilated on all sides, so it would take several days to repair it. "I will take a day off the day after tomorrow. I have already made an appointment with Lei, have you found a matchmaker?"

Zhulan said, "I've found one, Gao."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Just make your choice."

The next day, Zhang Yang stood in the yard, looking at the dilapidated yard. The paper on the windows was gone. The whole yard was empty, and there was not even a place to keep warm.

Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, thinking Zhou Shuren must have done this on purpose. The wind was particularly cold today. Shivering, he called the servant, "Go prepare some charcoal and some thicker clothes."

After the servant left, Zhang Yang walked back and forth. He was tricked by Zhou Shuren again. Why didn't he learn his lesson and jumped into the trap himself!

It's easy to find out what Zhang Yang did yesterday.

Second Prince, Zhang Jingyang curled his lips, "You haven't even grown your wings yet, and you're already trying to pluck the fur of an old fox, especially a petty old fox."

However, this incident also made Zhang Jingyang realize that even the dumbest people will grow up and gradually become scheming. It has only been a short time, but they have already dared to sow discord between the Ning family and the Zhou family.

Zhang Jingyang had thought about it before, but later he thought that Rongchuan was too deeply involved with the Zhou family and he was not completely sure, so he did not dare to act.

The next day, which was Zhou Shuren's day off, he went out early to the agreed teahouse. When he arrived, Master Lei had already arrived.

Zhou Shuren, "You came too early. I thought I left early enough."

Lei smiled and said, "I am used to it. Lord Zhou, please take a seat."

Zhou Shuren sat down, "Have you ordered tea?"

"not yet."

Zhou Shuren called the waiter and ordered two pots of the best tea. "Recently, you guys in the Ministry of Justice, well, let's not talk about official business today, let's talk about personal matters."

Lei heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of talking about official business. "I and Liu Jing mentioned you. Liu Jing admires you very much. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet you before. Today, when I knew that I had tea with you, Liu Jing specifically asked me to say hello."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I admire Mr. Liu as well. We will have many opportunities to drink tea together in the future. Tell him not to be anxious."

Lei was relieved. The Zhou family was ready to settle the matter. "That's great. I can also be shameless and take the opportunity to drink tea."

"As long as you come, I will definitely bring out good tea to entertain you."

Lei's mouth was grinning, and the curve of his mouth was getting bigger and bigger. He had caught the eye of Lord Zhou. Many people in the capital wanted to make friends with Lord Zhou, but Lord Zhou had never made close friends with many people. This was an opportunity. "Thank you, Lord Zhou."

Not long after they drank the tea, the door of the private room rang. When someone came in, Zhou Shuren stood up and said, "Lord Shen."

Lei Zhushi also stood up and said, "Lord Shen."

Lord Shen walked in, "I always sit in this box every time I come here. Someone reserved it today, and I just learned from the shopkeeper that it was Lord Zhou who was drinking tea. I thought about it and came up."

Zhou Shuren didn't think it was a coincidence, "Master Hou, please take a seat."

Lei felt sorry that he couldn't drink tea today, but fortunately he would have a chance to drink tea in the future. He said, "I have something else to do, sir, Lord Shen, I will take my leave now."

Zhou Shuren really admired Lei, a talented person. After he felt that Wang Ju could not stay in the Ministry of Revenue for much longer, he thought about finding a capable subordinate, and Lei was on his list. "We may have a chance to have tea together in the future."

Lei said, "I will ask you to stay next time, sir."

After the door of the private room was closed, Lord Shen finally spoke, "Am I interrupting you?"

Zhou Shuren said frankly, "We are talking about a private matter. My second grandson Mingteng has reached the age of engagement. I am not the one who has chosen me and I am asking someone to pass on the message."

Lord Shen's heart skipped a beat, "Is this settled?"

Zhou Shuren, "Ah, it's settled, the matchmaker has been found."

Lord Shen secretly thought it was a pity. He pondered for several days before making up his mind to form an alliance with the Zhou family. In the past, when his daughter-in-law had set her eyes on the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family, he was not optimistic about it. He thought far ahead. The Zhou family had not split up yet, but it might split up in the future. Therefore, he had always been eyeing the eldest branch of the Zhou family.

He liked the eldest grandson of Zhou family more. He became famous at a young age. He really liked him. It was a pity that he was already engaged to the Ran family.

I just thought about it for a few days and found out that I have already fallen in love with her.

Zhou Shuren looked at Lord Shen. The last time they had tea together, Lord Shen was not so reserved. It has only been more than a year, and the Shen family's situation is not as good as before.

Zhou Shuren touched the teacup. The Yao family was strong, and then the Shen family was even stronger. Now that the Yao family is weak, the Shen family can only keep a low profile. He was secretly glad in his heart that they had already agreed on each other, otherwise it would be difficult to refuse Lord Shen who came to see him in person.

Lord Shen's mentality changed quickly. "It seems like a long time since we last met. I can't remember clearly. I really didn't expect that Lord Zhou would come to Beijing so soon."

He did not regret it. The more he got to know Zhou Shuren, the more he realized that this man had his own considerations in his mind. Shen Houfu was never on Zhou Shuren's list of people to date.

Zhou Shuren was also quite emotional, "I was also quite surprised, this is all due to the emperor's great grace."

Lord Shen laughed softly, "Yes, the emperor's grace is great."

In front of the entire country, all of them are insignificant, and the emperor only cares about the world.

Zhou Shuren held the teacup and said, "Have some tea, Lord Hou."

Lord Shen took a sip of tea, wanted to say something else, smiled, and lowered his head to drink his tea.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. It was the day that Zhulan invited Gao to go to Liu's house. Gao went to Liu's house and came back quickly.

Zhulan knew what was going on. "Thank you for your hard work today."

Gao said, "It's not hard. I'll just go through the motions. You can just choose a good day and invite the official media to come to our house."

Zhulan smiled and said, "When it's done, I'll give you a big matchmaking gift."

Gao laughed, "It's settled then. I'm telling you, I've had my eye on the plum blossom painting you bought for a long time."

Zhulan felt a little pain. This painting was bought in an art gallery. It was not a question of whether it was expensive or not, but the artistic conception of this painting was particularly good. But she thought of Mingteng, "Okay, as long as it is finished, I will give it to you."

Mrs. Gao said cheerfully, "If your family needs a matchmaker for your next engagement, please contact me."

Zhulan doesn't dare to do that, because Gao has a sharp eye and she doesn't have many good things!

At this time, the housekeeper came in with a post in his hand.
