Chapter 916: Guess

With the arrival of Xuemei's family, Zhou's residence became more lively. The twins haven't chosen a college yet. It's not that Zhulan and her husband don't want to help, but Jiang Sheng thinks the twins are too erratic and wants them to stay at home for another year.

This made the twins very happy. Since they didn't have to go to the academy, they naturally went to their grandfather's house every day. Shenxing went to pick up Xuemei's family. The twins were no strangers to Shenxing. Whenever they came, they would pester Shenxing to teach them martial arts.

In the past, Xuemei didn't send Jiang Miao to Beijing, even if Zhulan suggested it, Xuemei didn't agree. This time, Jiang Miao was going to Beijing to study with his two cousins ​​Yushuang and Yulu.

In less than seven days, the Jiang family was settled and the deeds to the land were in hand. Xuemei would come over to accompany Zhulan when she had nothing to do.

Xuemei and Jiang Miao came together today. Xuemei helped her mother cut the cloth and sighed, "You really can't plan your life. I planned Miao'er's future, but she ended up going to Beijing in a different way. My daughter found that some things can't be stopped."

Zhulan put the cut material away and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. Don't think too much about it. Just let it go."

Xuemei smiled and nodded. She had already arrived in the capital, so she naturally would not continue to worry about it. "Mother, what are you cutting these fabrics for?"

Zhulan explained, "The spring wind is biting, and your father has been standing all the time during the morning court session, so I want to make some more knee pads. Your father is not young anymore, and protecting him now will prevent him from suffering in the future."

Xuemei thought of her father's image. Well, he didn't have much of an image. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at her third brother's official uniform. But when it came to her father, he was obviously a skinny old man, but he looked fat. "Mom, I have nothing to do at home, so let me make the knee pads."

Zhulan, "Your father will be happy."

Xuemei thought of her husband's joy when he came back from the academy every day, and she felt sad. She had made her parents worry. "Mom, is it safe to go out to sea?"

Zhulan knew that the twins were talking about going out to sea with Changyi, "The twins are still young, it's too early for you to think about it."

Xuemei folded the cloth and said, "My husband and I have thought about it carefully. We think it would be great if the two children could go out to sea in the future. They are brave and it would be better for them to go out and explore rather than stay in the capital."

Zhulan had not discussed this with Zhou Shuren, mainly because the children were too young. Now, after hearing what Xuemei said, it would be great for the twins to go out to sea when they grow up. "It's too early to say anything now. What if the two children don't like it when they grow up?"

Xuemei thought about it and it made sense. She was just too worried about the future of the twins. It would be great if the two children didn't look so alike.

Zhulan had never asked Jiang Wangshi before, so after thinking for a while she asked, "How is your mother-in-law doing recently? Is she adapting well in the capital?"

Xuemei replied, "My mother-in-law has adapted well to life in the capital. She and my father-in-law go to the market every day. When they heard me talk about Yushuang and Yulu growing vegetables, they were interested. They have many rooms at home, so they plan to grow some vegetables and sell them for some money. They also asked me if it would bring shame to our family. I said no, and told them to grow vegetables without worry."

Zhu Lan said, "This is good. They have something to do and won't think too much."

Xuemei thought so too. She was not afraid of embarrassment, but she also really hoped that her parents-in-law could have their own things to do.

Academy, Ran Xun took a lot of leave and just returned to the academy today, "Brother, I heard that your little cousin went to Beijing?"

Ming Teng was alert, "How did you know?"

Ran Xun spread his hands, "Have you forgotten that Ran Wan just met your cousin two days ago?"

Jiang Du put down the book. He naturally wanted to hear more about his sister's affairs. "Mr. Ran, have you forgotten me?"

Ran Xun was embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten that Ming Teng’s little cousin was Jiang Du’s biological sister.

Ming Teng clenched his fists and said, "I see your skin is getting tight after not seeing you for a while."

Ran Xun felt wronged. He was sensible. He didn't even mention the name. "Aren't you all targeting me too much?"

Ming Teng said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, your ambition is to have a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines in your arms!"

Jiang Du's eyes were like knives, and he pointed at his neck, as if he would attack Ran Xun if he said one more word.

Ran Xun's mouth twitched, he really didn't mean anything else, it was just that he had so many cousins ​​that one hand couldn't count them, and Ming Teng only had one cousin who was especially liked by Lord Zhou, so of course he asked, but in the end, these two people treated him like a wolf!

At the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Ju saw that Lord Qiu was not there, so she pulled over a chair and sat down. "Our Fifth Prince is not interested in the Ministry of Revenue. He will report in and leave in a few days. Don't you want to ask?"

Zhou Shuren raised his head, "Are you free?"

"I've been so busy all day!"

Zhou Shuren snorted, "I see you are quite free, and you can even observe the Fifth Prince."

Wang Ju cursed Zhou Shuren in his heart. Ever since Zhou Shuren came to the Ministry of Revenue, this man has been treating him like a donkey. He cursed in his heart, but couldn't show it on his face. "It's not like I don't have ears in the Ministry of Revenue. My father said that the Fifth Prince has been relying on many people recently."

This is the main point. I really thought he wanted to mention the fifth prince. This was what his father wanted him to pass on to Zhou Shuren.

Since he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, his father had more frequent contacts with Zhou Shuren, and he could get some accurate information from Zhou Shuren. This was the benefit of a good in-law.

For example, the last time the emperor brought the prince to Zhou Mansion, everyone was making wild guesses, but he was able to get accurate information and then pass it on to his father, who would then make arrangements with the clan members.

The Wang family is indeed neutral, but there are too many people in one family, especially a noble family like theirs. There are all kinds of people in the world, and it is not easy to be the patriarch of any family, especially the patriarch of a big family.

Zhou Shuren didn't know that Wang Ju had so many twists and turns in her mind at this moment. He didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yang, but he knew too much. Now that some people have been silent for so long, they finally couldn't help but find Zhang Yang, and they were quite good at seizing the opportunity, as this was the time when several princes were stirring up trouble.

It's really not noticeable to find Zhang Yang at this time, but doesn't the emperor know?

The emperor knows everything, and he has been dragging his feet on deciding on a title, so He Chu has no intention of continuing fishing.

Zhou Shuren estimated that Qiu Yan would come back, and lowered his voice and said, "Whether it's a title or not, everything depends on the emperor."

Wang Ju was satisfied. He knew Zhou Shuren's attitude was fine. "I will go back first."

In the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Wenqi has a list of names in his hand. This time, he is relying on Zhang Yang's people. These people are not his people. He didn't have them this time, so he can use these people to test the emperor.

Yao Wenqi still doesn't trust Shi Qing. If everyone on the list is invalid this time, Shi Qing will be in big trouble.

In the imperial palace, the scholar from the Hanlin Academy who entered the palace today was Shi Qing. Every time Shi Qing entered the palace it was only to report.

The emperor asked, "You have been to Yaohou Mansion many times in recent days. Have you found any suspicious people?"

Shi Qing lowered his head and said, "I am incompetent. I have not found anything in the past few days."

The emperor was not disappointed. Yao Wenqi, whose hands and feet had been cut off, was naturally more cautious. However, Yao Wenqi was cautious because he still had a chess piece in the Marquis' Mansion. "It's calculated that Yao Zheyu's leave has ended, but the Ministry of War has not recalled him yet?"

Shi Qing shook his head, "No, Master Yao is still at home."

The emperor nodded and said, "Remember the people on the list. Don't touch any of them."

He was very optimistic about Shi Qing, as he was an important chess piece. He was not in a hurry to deal with the others. The most important thing now was that Shi Qing gained Yao Wenqi's trust. Who Yao Wenqi's partner was had always been too mysterious, so mysterious that he had already made some guesses.

This guess has kept him awake at night these days.

Shi Qing's heart was trembling. The emperor's tone frightened him. "I obey your order."
