Chapter 944: Hu Xia's Thoughts

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Finally he's back in Beijing. This kid is finally willing to go back to Beijing."

Mrs. Song laughed, "You should say that Meng Ju is willing to return to the capital."

Zhu Lan changed her words, "Yes, it is indeed Meng Juren who should be blamed. If Meng Juren does not return to the capital, Meng Jie will not dare to return to the capital either."

This time when Meng Jie returns to Beijing, he probably won't go out again. This study tour will take a long time, and Meng Jie also needs to calm down and prepare for next year's provincial examination.

Ming Teng is very annoyed with the college. He has enjoyed too much flattery this year. He used to hope to rest more in the college, but now he just wants to keep attending classes.

Ming Teng felt a little aggrieved. His elder brother said that this was a way to train his mind and warned him not to lose his temper. His face almost froze from smiling.

Ran Xun felt the cold and warmth. When the master was about to come, he said to Ming Teng: "I will rely on you in the future. You have to protect me."

Ever since Grandpa came to Beijing and was promoted to a higher rank but did not get an official position, some people have become very unfaithful and have ridiculed him, saying that Grandpa had made great contributions but did not get any power. If Aunt had not been the prince's concubine, the Ran family would have been attacked by countless people. The Feng family has been waiting for an opportunity!

Grandpa warned him to follow Ming Teng in the academy and go straight home after school, and told him to be careful and prudent. To put it bluntly, he should stay away from trouble, otherwise he could no longer be Master Ran.

Unless Grandpa gets the official position he deserves, or the Crown Prince ascends the throne and has a royal concubine in his family!

Ming Teng patted Ran Xun's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, we're going to be the ones to each other. By the way, you've always said that you want to get engaged this year, so what do you think? Are you ready to get to know each other?"

Ran Xun curled his lips, "Before Grandpa came to Beijing, I was very popular. My mother was almost overwhelmed by the choices. After Grandpa came to Beijing, no one even stepped through the door of my house."

Ming Teng felt that being a brother was not easy, "I will protect you in the future so that you won't get beaten up."

Ran Xun is very rude and arrogant, and now there are many people who want to beat him up secretly!

Ming Teng grinned, "Do you still dare to break up with me now?"

Ran Xun, ".......I dare not, I dare not, from now on I will call you brother."

Ming Teng looked at the depressed Ran Xun, and the irritability in his heart disappeared. There were people who were worse off than him, and he felt particularly balanced in his heart.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren called Hu Xia over. Qiu Yan was not there, and Zhou Shuren was the only one in the room. He motioned Hu Xia to sit down, "Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you for a few minutes."

Hu Xia was still very nervous, "Sir, what do you want to talk about?"

Zhou Shuren asked, "You have done well in the Accounts Department this year. What do you think after the year-end review?"

Hu Xia was not nervous this time. He had a lot of tasks this year and accumulated a lot of merits. He knew very well that everything was arranged by Lord Zhou. He also had a lot of ideas. It was unrealistic for him to continue working in the Ministry of Revenue. Although he hoped to continue working under Lord Zhou, it was a pity that it was not possible.

He himself also thought, "I think the Ministry of Industry is pretty good."

His personality is destined to not be able to fight for anything, so it is better for him to do his job honestly and steadily. Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Works is the quietest, and he also has his own little thoughts. It is the most difficult for the Ministry of Works to get money. Everyone knows his relationship with Lord Zhou, so he will not encounter any difficulties in the Ministry of Works. As long as he does a good job, he still has the opportunity to be promoted.

Zhou Shuren stared at Hu Xia, thinking that honest people in the officialdom should not be underestimated. The Ministry of Industry is indeed the best place for Hu Xia. "You have a good idea."

Hu Xia was relieved, "It all depends on your protection."

If it weren't for Lord Zhou, he wouldn't have dared to leave the Ministry of Revenue, nor would he have dared to dream of promotion. So he was lucky because he had to send a big gift to his nephew when he got married.

Zhou Shuren knew what was going on. Although there was still half a year until the end of the year, some things were better prepared in advance to avoid mistakes when on business trips. Officials in the capital were all in their own right. If Hu Xia was going to the Ministry of Industry, someone had to leave.

Moreover, Hu Xia has been the person in charge for so many years, and he should be promoted. The reason why he cares so much about Hu Xia is not only because of Gu Liufeng, but more because the Zhou family is weak, and Hu Xia has no great ability, but he is self-aware and obedient.

Two days later, the Ministry of Revenue was on holiday, and Wang Ju and Tao brought their grandson to Zhou's house. Zhou Shuren had already prepared a fishing rod by the lake and took Wang Ju directly to the garden.

Zhulan smiled at Tao and said, "They have a really good relationship."

The smile on Mrs. Tao's face froze for a moment before she nodded and said, "My master mentions Mr. Zhou every day."

But they were not nice words. My husband's ability to scold people has improved a lot, and they were all insults directed at Lord Zhou.

Zhulan almost laughed out loud. She could guess what Wang Ju was talking about. In order not to embarrass Tao, she changed the topic, "You haven't been here for a while."

Tao was tired. "I also want to come and go more often, but I can't. Since I returned to Beijing, I have more things to do. Not only do I have to worry about the Wang family, but I also have to meet the women in the Wang family. It's too busy."

The current mother-in-law doesn't care about anything. She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and all the pressure is on her. The Wang family is a big family in the capital, and they have a lot of social engagements. She is busy like a top and has to endure it even when she is sick.

Zhulan looked at Tao's complexion and saw that she was indeed very tired. "There is no one else here. Come over and lean on her for a while. Don't sit there in a slouching position. I feel tired just looking at her."

Tao's shoulders relaxed. "My every move represents the Wang family. Now that you are used to this sitting position, I won't be polite to you anymore."

Having said that, Tao stood up and sat on the small kang, taking the pillow to lean on.

Zhu Lan sighed, "It's not easy to be the head wife of an aristocratic family."

Tao and Zhulan were friends, and because of the relationship between the two families, they did not have many reservations when speaking. "After the incident in my mother's family, I dared not make any mistakes, for fear of bringing shame to the Wang family. If the reputation of the Wang family girls was affected, I would be a sinner."

Zhu Lan frowned, "You are just too strong-willed and put too much pressure on yourself."

Tao smiled and said, "You just said that being a clan wife is not easy. This is what I should bear. It is also my responsibility. The Wang clan is a whole. I am the future clan leader's wife. These are my responsibilities."

Zhulan was silent. Everything was for the sake of family inheritance. Inheritance was not easy, especially for the person at the helm.

Tao continued, "I am very happy to come here with my master today. It finally allows me to relax for a day."

Zhu Lan laughed, "Then you should rest for a while. By the way, why didn't you bring Wang Lei with you?"

Tao pressed her eyebrows and said, "I want to, but unfortunately I can't. You know she will be married at the end of next year, and my mother-in-law is teaching her."

Zhulan felt Tao's resentment, and Tao had a deep grudge against her mother-in-law!

The Zhou family garden is particularly lively today because Wang Wei will be coming. Mingyun and others have asked for leave and are at home today, even Meng Jie is there.

Meng Jie had a rich experience in studying abroad. The boys were all listening in the pavilion, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Wang Ju looked at Meng Jie and said, "If this kid doesn't come back, I would have almost forgotten that you have a disciple."

This is Zhou Shuren's acknowledged disciple. Although he is not particularly outstanding, he can be considered a young talent.
