Chapter 893 Regret

The Zhou family, Jianyan brought back some boxes. Since they were all mid- and low-end items, there were quite a lot of boxes.

Xue Han dropped the handkerchief in her hand and touched the box without any hesitation. After a while, she started to hug it. "Mom, it's so light inside. Shall we open it and have a look?"

Zhulan was also curious about what was inside, but she finally held back and said, "I'll wait for your father to come back."

Xue Han let go of her hand, feeling a little regretful. Su Xuan continued, "Look at my little sister. That weirdo is trying to snatch it away. Mother and daughter-in-law are trying to buy it."

Zhulan knew that Suxuan was telling the truth. Suxuan really wanted to try her luck, just like buying a lottery ticket. Even though she knew that there were only a few winners, she still couldn't help but buy it with hope. What if?

Li said, "This is too expensive. A cheap box costs five hundred taels."

Zhao remembered that her husband took two thousand taels and left. At this time, her husband had not come back. She didn't know whether he opened the money outside or would come home to open it later.

Mrs. Dong had never expected that her parents would be so generous. The room was filled with boxes, which was fascinating to look at.

Zhulan motioned for her daughters-in-law to go back and told Dong: "Walk slower and pay more attention."

Dong treasured her belly the most. "Don't worry, mother. I will be careful."

In the teahouse, Zhou Shuren really didn't notice his second son. It was only after leaving the teahouse that he noticed his carriage. Zhou Shuren saw his servant, and then Chang Li got off the carriage.

Zhou Shuren stopped and Lord Xiao took a look and then took the officials back to the Ministry of Revenue.

Chang Yi grinned, "Dad, Dad, I bought a mid-range one and a cheap one. I won, the mid-range one won."

He was not good at studying, but as his status changed, he was exposed to different things, heard more, and knew what was worth money. He tried his luck and he actually won.

Zhou Shuren patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky, but you should know when to quit."

Don't think you can just jump in after winning once. There are traps all over the place, and they are dug by him himself.

Chang Yi calmed down after hearing what his father said. His father never said meaningless words. His heart that wanted to buy suddenly cooled down. His father didn't like gamblers. "Son, I'll remember this."

"Well, let's go home quickly."

Chang Yi also knew that his father was busy, so he didn't dare to delay, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren returned to the Ministry of Revenue and was already counting the money collected today. In fact, it was not recorded in the accounts. There was a specific amount based on the number of boxes. It was just a prudent reconciliation.

Xiao Qing had seen many big scenes, but today her face was still flushed with excitement, in order to make a fortune in secret and to complete the task assigned by the emperor for a high salary.

Xiao Qing looked at Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren was a cruel person. He was calculating the average value based on the market price. It was not cheap at all!

The unboxing event was very successful. The emperor in the palace was very satisfied and even wanted to buy one to try out Yunzi. Fortunately, he suppressed this stupid idea.

The prince was also satisfied. He was not polite at all and bought a lot. His wallet was quite fatter today.

The mansion of the Duke of Ning. The Duke of Ning and his two sons did not come to the scene, but they also sent people to buy a few items and brought them back. The Duke of Ning bought them for fun and did not buy high-end items, but he actually won one.

Duke Ning looked at the antique bottle in his hand and said, "It's really interesting."

Ning Xi blinked his eyes. He was not short of money. He was so poor that he only had silver left. "My son will go to the scene to try it out tomorrow. I heard that the Second Prince had great luck today."

Ning Hui thought it was a rare opportunity to have such fun, "I'll go tomorrow too."

Duke Ning looked at his two steady sons and put down the antique bottle in his hand. "What's wrong with Zhou Shuren's brain?"

Look, now his son wants to go, what about others?

Ning Xu said admiringly, "That's why Zhou Shuren is so highly regarded by the Emperor. Your son really admires him."

Ning Hui said quietly, "You are capable and smart. My son really envies you."

Zhou Shuren didn’t know about the conversation between the Ning father and son, but even if he knew, he would still smile. His wife is just amazing!

Yao Wenqi did not go to join in the fun at Yao Hou's Mansion, but he also attached great importance to today's event. When the people who went came back, Yao Wenqi regretted it the more he listened. He thought that he had the opportunity to win over Zhou Shuren in the past, but Zhou Shuren was not in his eyes at that time.

The more Yao Wenqi thought about it, the more he hated Zhou Shuren. If he had subdued Zhou Shuren at that time, with Zhou Shuren here now, all the opportunities would have gone smoothly. Unfortunately, there is no if.

Yao Wenzhe secretly bought a box of high-end items. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and found that he lost money when he opened the box.

Yao Wenzhe pursed his lips. Why did he buy one? It was purely to try his luck. He didn't think about getting rich. But looking at the things in the box, his already low mood became even lower.

Shen Yile felt sad when she saw her husband's decadent look. She wanted to go up to him to persuade him, but she couldn't say anything. She had persuaded him as much as she could when he was at home. "Yao Xin's husband is Zhang Jinghong. I heard from my father that Zhang Jinghong has been following Lord Zhou. Do you want to go and talk to him?"

Yao Wenzhe shook his head, "No."

He also thought about Zhang Jinghong. This man was able to survive safely among the real and fake princes, and he did not lose his life when his background was exposed. He knew that Zhang Jinghong was not a simple person, and it was not advisable to use him directly. It was too late to build relationships with him now, and he was a little afraid that it would backfire.

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei's family has quite a few guests today, all of them are from the Jiang family, including brothers and sisters-in-law.

Xuemei's family was leaving. Xuemei hadn't kept it a secret since she sold the land. Jiang Sheng also stopped going to the clan school. Everyone knew about it, but the Jiang family was the last to find out.

Xuemei and her husband did not hide the matter from the Jiang family. Instead, they wanted to deal with the matter here and then tell their brothers in person. However, before they could say anything, several brothers from the Jiang family arrived.

The eldest brother of the Jiang family was very happy that his younger brother went to Beijing. Anyone with a brain would know how much benefit his younger brother would get from going to Beijing. They came today to ask, "Little brother, are your parents going to Beijing with you? Or should I take them back?"

The old couple of the Jiang family also looked at their son. They were the ones who were suffering the most these days. They had always wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to. They comforted themselves by not saying whether they would bring their child to Beijing with them. Now that the eldest son had said it, they were waiting for the youngest son and his wife to tell them the result.

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment. He had never thought of asking this question. He turned his head to look at his wife who was sitting next to him and saw the surprise in her eyes. Well, his wife had never thought about this question either.

Jiang Sheng saw that his brothers were all looking at him. In recent years, he and his brothers had gotten along well. They were a little far away from each other, and his brothers didn't come over all the time, let alone ask for money or embarrass him. The relationship, which was a bit stiff before, had improved a lot.

Seeing that her husband hadn't spoken, Xuemei thought it was the right time for her to speak. She glanced at her nervous parents-in-law and said, "Brother, we have neglected our parents' affairs."
