Chapter 928: Eye Drops
In the evening, Wu Ming came to Zhou's house and was warmly welcomed by Changzhong. Zhou Shuren looked as if he had eaten a lemon from a tree. Not only did he smell sour, but he also had a stinky face.
Wu Ming was already used to his godfather's jealous look and was no longer frightened by it. Instead, he found it very interesting and deliberately tried to get close to Changzhong in front of his godfather.
His son kept clinging to Wu Ming and refused to leave. Zhou Shuren continued to feel jealous. If he had known earlier, he would not have kept talking about the top scholar in front of his son. His son would not be so fond of Wu Ming now.
Wu Ming teased Chang Zhong, "How about coming back with me tonight?"
Changzhong responded happily, "Okay, okay, I still want to sleep with my brother."
Zhou Shuren interrupted, "Did you forget that you painted a landscape painting at night?"
Changzhong was so angry that his nephews and nieces stopped talking about it. "Dad, I don't wet the bed anymore."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "How would I remember?"
Before he could finish, he was hit. Zhou Shuren covered his head and looked at his wife, as if to say, "Even you bully me."
Zhulan glared at Zhou Shuren and asked, "Is there any father like you?"
Zhou Shuren looked at his son who was about to cry and coughed, "I remembered wrongly, Changzhong really doesn't paint mountains and rivers anymore."
Changzhong was still unhappy, "Dad, you are really getting more and more confused as you get older."
Zhou Shuren, "......."
The knife from my own son always stabs very accurately!
Wu Ming wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, his facial expression was a little distorted. He really didn't expect that his godfather had no dignity at all in front of Changzhong. He was used to seeing Brother Zhou and others being afraid of his godfather, so he was really a little uncomfortable.
Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren smiling dryly and snorted in her heart, thinking, he deserves to be a kind father.
Now that they had finished dinner, it was getting late. Wu Ming obviously had something to say, so Zhu Lan signaled the maid to take Chang Zhong downstairs to take a bath and go to sleep.
Changzhong, "Mom, I still want to go with my brother!"
Zhu Lan said calmly, "Not today, your brother Wu Ming is not ready yet."
Changzhong was afraid of his mother from the bottom of his heart, so he got off the ground obediently and said, "Dad, Mom, your son is going home."
Zhulan nodded. Zhou Shuren was jealous of his wife at this time. Just one look from her made his son dare not say a word!
Wu Ming waited until Changzhong left and did not avoid his godmother, "From what I have observed over the past few days, the Tao family has already boarded the Fourth Prince's ship."
Zhou Shuren, "The Feng family is very powerful in the Ministry of Rites, and with the Fourth Prince being very popular these past few months, it's no surprise that the Tao family is on the side."
Wu Ming said: "Once you are on the boat, it is difficult to get off."
Zhou Shuren nodded. When the Tao family tried to attack, it was difficult for them to get back down. It seemed that not only did Mr. Wang not want to intervene, he should have known which side the Tao family stood on, and he did not want the Wang family to be implicated.
Zhulan sighed after hearing this. Mrs. Tao had always been worried about the Tao family. Even though her words were as sharp as a knife, she still hoped for the best for her parents' family in her heart.
Wu Ming continued, "The Fourth Prince really likes the Wang family, the Tao family is just a bonus."
This was the reason why Wu Ming was in a hurry to tell his godfather. The Zhou family and the Wang family were in-laws, and the relationship between his godfather and Wang Ju was true friends. He had to remind him.
Zhou Shuren was not worried and said with a smile: "With Master Wang here, nothing will happen."
The old man looks gentle and acts like a good guy to everyone, but his methods are powerful. The Wang family has been under his control and has never made any big mistakes. The old man is no pushover.
Wu Ming felt relieved after hearing this. "Gu Zhuomin is indeed good, but he is quite jealous of me."
Zhou Shuren, "It's not easy for him either. He just came to Beijing and has no foundation at all. He has had a hard time these days."
As for being jealous of Wu Ming, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. Gu Zhuomin is jealous of Wu Ming because Wu Ming makes him feel dangerous. This is a kind of compliment. Wu Ming's strength does not lie in his age. A big boss is a big boss.
After Wu Ming left, Zhou Shuren still sneezed from time to time. Zhu Lan, "It seems like I don't know how many people cursed you behind your back."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "These old foxes won't scold me, they just think that the opportunity to dig the root of the problem is gone. As for who scolded me, it must be Wang Ju. I didn't approve his leave today. You said he was not sick, and his family is in the capital. Why should he ask for leave when his parents are by his side!"
Zhulan, "...You really should look in the mirror and see what you look like now. I understand why Wang Ju scolded you."
Zhou Shuren would not look in the mirror. He would not have a vacation anyway. He finally got a capable assistant, but he was stupid enough to give him a vacation. In order to live a good life, he would never give him a vacation.
The next day, Zhou Shuren did not see Zhang Yang in the Ministry of Revenue. He was prepared to continue to scare Zhang Yang, but he didn't come. He felt a little sorry. As for Wang Ju's resentful eyes, he simply ignored her. Wang Ju dared to yell at him after leaving the Ministry of Revenue. Inside the gate, Wang Ju had to hold back her dissatisfaction.
In order not to irritate Wang Ju, Zhou Shuren kindly assigned some of the tasks to others.
Zhang Jinghong envied Lord Wang. He was not afraid of having too many assignments, as it showed his trust in him. It was a pity that his official position was low.
In the Zheng Palace, the Emperor let Zhang Yang in only after he had finished his work. Zhang Yang already had some experience in entering the palace. He would never drink tea or eat snacks while waiting. The last time he held back, he felt very bad.
Zhang Yang tried his best to be a good son these days. He had learned so much. His father had not shown any extra displeasure to his second brothers these days. He felt very balanced in his heart. Shi Qing was right. His father was old and his sons were threats to him. He did not need to worry about whether his father liked him or not. In front of the imperial power, biological sons had to take a back seat, let alone him who came back later.
The emperor looked at Zhang Yang who was paying him a visit. The imperial power was too tempting. Look, the stupid Zhang Yang was gone.
He ignored the people around Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang had gradually accumulated power. "What's the matter with entering the palace today?"
Zhang Yang was already used to his father's cold voice. His father liked Rong Chuan. He felt that it was not only Rong Chuan's face that mattered, but also that he would not threaten the throne. "Father, I have been in the Ministry of Revenue for some time. I know that I am insignificant, so I want to have more experience. I hope to help my eldest brother, the crown prince, as soon as possible."
The prince raised his head. What did his last words mean?
Your Majesty, "I have seen your growth."
Look, I have learned how to apply eye drops and pick them.
Zhang Yang lowered his head. His father was old, but the prince was in his prime. "I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."
Now he understood why his sons couldn't fight for the throne. There was only one throne!
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren still hadn't seen Zhang Yang, but he saw people around Zhang Yang coming to the Ministry to pack up their things. He stroked his beard, wondering if Zhang Yang was so jealous of him?
As for where Zhang Yang went, he didn't care, as long as he could leave the account department.
Qiu Yan stood beside Zhou Shuren and said, "Finally he left."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "Ah, let's go."
At Zhou's house, Zhulan saw Wu Ning's pale face and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to call a doctor, "You took a carriage all the way here, but you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"
Wu Ning was a little exhausted. "This child has been tormenting me these past few days. He vomits everything he eats."
Zhu Lan glared at him, "Nonsense, you are not feeling well and you still want to sit in the carriage for so long."
