Chapter 884: Wrong Timing

Zhang Jinghong felt that he came to the Ministry of Revenue at a wrong time. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the cold voice of Lord Zhou. He really didn't dare to go in.

Zhang Jinghong looked at the guide and gestured, "Knock on the door."

The official leading the way laughed, turned around and left without giving Zhang Jinghong any chance to react. He knocked on the door, but what the hell.

Zhang Jinghong, "......."

Ah, he is not the fifth prince anymore, so there is really no need for people to be afraid of him. Besides, it is natural for him to escape if he can at this time. He also wants to escape.

Zhang Jinghong was released from confinement today, and he is still alive and well. The emperor asked him to report to the Ministry of Revenue immediately, so he naturally came happily.

Now, Zhang Jinghong wanted to cry. He really shouldn't have come today.

The door opened quickly, and Zhao Lang walked out with lingering fear and saw Zhang Jinghong. He patted Zhang Jinghong on the shoulder and said, "I sympathize with you."

Zhang Jinghong felt the pain in his shoulder. He could imagine how many people would pat him on the shoulder in the future.

Zhang Jinghong knocked on the door and waited for a response before going in. "Master Zhou."

Zhou Shuren raised his head and said, "Here I come."

Zhang Jinghong looked at Lord Zhou who was not smiling, and he knew that this was Zhou Shuren's true face. "I just went to see Lord Shangshu, and Lord Shangshu told me to follow you in the future."

Zhou Shuren knew in his heart that this was the person the emperor really wanted him to teach. Zhang Jinghong's status meant that he could only rely on the royal family. "Well, go out and ask someone to move the table over. You can stay in the same room with me for the next few days."

Zhang Jinghong ignored Mr. Zhou's face. He was really surprised. He was surprised to be able to follow Zhou Shuren. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhou really wanted to teach him. His previous wish came true. "Yes, I will go now."

Zhou Shuren found it quite interesting and speechless when he saw Zhang Jinghong running away excitedly. The emperor not only forced him to work, but also asked him to train people who were loyal to the royal family, not letting go of his value at all.

Zhang Jinghong ran out happily, and then he met Zhang Yang, oh, the current fifth prince, "Meet Your Highness."

When Zhang Yang saw Zhang Jinghong, he could recall how he had tried to please him in the past. Now that he knew that Zhang Jinghong was fine and the imperial decree had been issued, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Jinghong's smile did not fade, and Zhang Yang could not stop him from being happy. God knows how much he wanted to learn the way of survival from Zhou Shuren. "In the future, I will work in Lord Zhou's room. Lord Zhou asked me to move the tables and chairs over."

Zhang Yang clenched his palms, telling himself over and over again not to be angry, he couldn't be angry, he had to learn to endure, "Well, congratulations on being safe."

Zhang Jinghong, "Thank you, Your Highness."

But in his heart, he thought that compared to the current Zhang Yang, he actually liked the Zhang Yang in the past very much.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan continued to embroider. Several daughters-in-law had already expressed their intention to go back, and the only one who did not leave was the daughter-in-law.

Xue Han looked at her mother who was embroidering calmly and admired her very much. Even at this time, her mother could still calm down and embroider. "Mom, what should I do with my eldest sister's family?"

Zhu Lan didn't even raise her head, "I will discuss this with your father. You can go back and sew your wedding dress."

Xue Han shook her head, "I can't calm down."

Zhulan understood that the girl was still young, so she said, "Then stay with your mother for a while."

Xue Han took off her shoes and sat on the small kang, taking the small quilt to cover her legs, "Mom, Jiang Du is not a child anymore, what do you and dad think?"

Zhulan, "Not many people pay attention to Jiang Du. He is different from your brothers. Your brother-in-law is just a scholar."

In ancient times, people cared more about grandsons rather than grandsons-in-law. There was a huge gap between them. Even though the Zhou family treated Jiang Du very well and treated him equally, the Jiang family was still looked down upon. This was the capital city.

Xue Han understood, "So Jiang Du's marriage is not urgent?"

Zhu Lan nodded, "Well, it's not too late to get engaged when Jiang Du Ke's marriage comes."

Only if Jiang Du shows his ability in the imperial examinations can he be noticed by others and find a good marriage partner. Otherwise, those who can be engaged to him now are those with ulterior motives.

Xue Han helped her mother thread the needle, "I heard Jiang Du mention the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Muchen, several times."

Zhulan has paid little attention to the Jiang family. All she knows is that the eldest daughter mentioned them in a letter. The third daughter-in-law Chuchu also rarely talks about the Jiang family. "I heard that he is a good child who is calm and attentive."

Jiang Muchen did not decline because of the Jiang family, but instead worked hard to improve himself. She thinks highly of him. This is a rare character.

Xue Han also communicated with her elder sister. They had a really good relationship. "My elder sister mentioned Jiang Mulan several times."

Zhulan was surprised, "Your sister never mentioned this to me once."

Xue Han chuckled and said, "Because I haven't thought it through yet, I don't dare to mention it to you."

Zhu Lan laughed, "The girl from the Jiang family is older than Jiang Du. It's nothing for a girl to be two or three years older."

Xue Han, "Mom, don't tell me I told you that."

"knew."

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei wanted to tie the twins to her side these days, and even did not let the eldest daughter go out. The twins also knew how to be afraid. After being beaten and taught a lesson by their father, they were smart children and still knew how to distinguish between good and bad.

The twins thought about being caught and sold, so they got scared and didn't dare to go anywhere.

Xuemei watched her two sons writing big characters, and said to her daughter: "The letter should have arrived in the capital by now."

Jiang Miao sat aside and looked at his younger brother. These days, whenever any of them left her sight, she would look for them. "Well, mother, don't worry."

These days, my mother has lost weight.

Xuemei was really scared. The two children had caused trouble on their own and she was just angry. But someone had schemed against her. She had nightmares all the time. Her son was sold and beaten every day. It broke her heart.

Jiang Miao looked at her silent mother. It was useless for her to say anything. She could only wait for a reply from her grandparents. In fact, she had some guesses in her heart. Although her mother never mentioned it, she could guess that her mother wanted to go to Beijing because her grandparents could better protect them.

Xuemei touched the girl's hair. She was really scared.

In the capital, inside the imperial palace, the emperor finally had time to listen to the report after finishing his work. After hearing the news, the prince interrupted and said, "The other party wants to get rid of Zhou Shuren."

If it were him, he would also take action if his money-making path was indirectly destroyed, but Zhou Shuren was too slippery.

Your Majesty, "Keep investigating. Since there is movement, we should be able to find something."

The prince was delighted, "My son thinks that Lord Zhou is good at defeating opponents."

The emperor liked this sentence and laughed. As for Zhou Shuren's eldest daughter, that was Zhou Shuren's own business.

The prince thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Shuren really loves his daughter. You haven't seen how Master Zhou's face changes when he sees his daughter. He speaks too gently."

The emperor was filled with regret, "If I had a princess, I would definitely be the father who loves her the most."

Back then, he hoped that Rongchuan would be a lady-in-waiting, a little princess.

The prince's mind was thinking about something else. Since Cong Rongchuan was born, his father had never had any children, not even one. He didn't believe it was his father's problem. In fact, he was very curious why, but no one dared to ask, so he could only guess in his heart.
