Seeing Brother Xue nodding, Zhou Jinzhi stopped talking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, sending Brother Xue'er's cousin back to her biological mother was not thoughtful and ruthless.

It is impossible for him to allow Brother Xue to regard his sister-in-law as his responsibility, so it will undoubtedly be a thorn in Gu Jinlin's heart forever, not to mention that as Gu Qingwei said, Brother Xue does not have the ability to be responsible for others now.

And the cousin of the Chang family, in fact, is not so bad now.

That time, she bumped into Gu Jinlin, and wanted to beg Gu Jinlin to let her escape from the sea of suffering, but Gu Jinlin sternly refused.

Since then, the cousin of the Chang family thought that she could only live in the mud like this for the rest of her life, but she didn't want things to change later, so Chen Er, who sold her as a commodity casually, was beaten to death by someone after getting drunk because he didn't know what he had offended.

Because of his death, this incident later alarmed the yamen.

However, Chen Er had an incident at night, and there were no witnesses around, so it was not even clear who did it, and it was Chen Er who died, so those catchers didn't investigate it carefully at all, and the matter was over in the end.

Since Chen Er died, the cousin of the Chang family can be regarded as living again.

Although Chen Er died, the house he left behind was still there, so the cousin of the Chang family also lived in this house, and then closed the door and never let the previous people enter the house again, and relied on the little needlework she had learned before, it was okay to support herself.

Although her reputation has long been ruined in the neighborhood, she can still live like a person, can't she?

The cousin of the Chang family also wanted to find another one to marry, but she went to see the doctor when she was uncomfortable for a while, but the doctor asserted that she could not have any more children of her own in this life, so she gradually died.

Under such circumstances, sending the only daughter she will have in her life to her, the little girl's life will not be sad.

As for whether the cousin of the Chang family can really be a new person, it is not a matter for Zhou Jinzhi to consider.

can see that for the sake of choosing his brother, he gave the child a way out, which is already the limit of what he can do.

When the two returned to Zhou's mansion, it was already late.

However, Gu Jinlin and Brother Ke did not eat first as Zhou Jinzhi said, but waited for them to come back.

Gu Jinlin looked at Brother Xue'er.

He hadn't been gone long this time, but she always felt that Brother Ze'er was a little more cheerful and mature now than before he left the house.

Where did Zhou Jinzhi go with Brother Xue'er?

Gu Jinlin smiled, but didn't ask more.

Early the next morning, Zhou Jinzhi got up and went to court.

Don't look at these court officials are extremely glamorous in the eyes of the people, but in fact, it is extremely hard to be an official, not to mention anything else, just say that no matter how cold or hot it is, you have to get up every day before dawn to go to court, which is not something that ordinary people can persevere.

Because the situation between the DPRK and China has been completely settled and nothing major has happened, there are not many ministers who have something to do in the early court, and the time for the next early court is a little earlier than in the past.

Zhou Jinzhi walked out with the ministers who had retreated, and when he stepped out of the palace, he saw Yu Gongcheng in front of Emperor Longqing and looked at him with a smile, "Lord Zhou, the emperor invites you to go to the imperial study." ”

As soon as Father-in-law Yu finished speaking, many courtiers looked at Zhou Jinzhi.

Since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, this Lord Zhou has immediately become a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and I don't know where this Lord Zhou got the emperor's eyes.

There are many people who are secretly speculating like this in their hearts.

Zhou Jinzhi bowed slightly, then nodded goodbye to his familiar colleagues, and then followed Father-in-law Yu to the imperial study.

As he walked, he touched the thing that had been hidden in his sleeve without a trace, and the corners of his mouth bent back slightly.

If someone saw Zhou Jinzhi's expression at this time, they couldn't say that they would be taken aback, but they would definitely be surprised.

Although he looked smiling, there was clearly no smile in his eyes.

Following his father-in-law, it didn't take long for Zhou Jinzhi to arrive at the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Emperor Longqing was bowing his head to review the folds.

Emperor Longqing's appearance is actually somewhat similar to Emperor Yuanchang, and now he is wearing the same Ming Huang dragon robe, at first glance, it is easy for people to see him as the former Emperor Yuanchang.

Zhou Jinzhi remembered that before Emperor Yuanchang died, he explained the history of the fall of the Yong Dynasty for Emperor Yuanchang for the last time here.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinzhi's eyes flashed slightly.

Hearing Yu's report, Emperor Longqing raised his head, and when he saw Zhou Jinzhi, a smile appeared on his still young face, "Zhou Aiqing is here." ”

Many people in the court are secretly speculating whether Emperor Longqing deliberately wants to let Zhou Jinzhi enter the cabinet after the first assistant Huang Daren, Emperor Longqing originally did not have this idea, but these days he has really gradually had such a plan.

Although Zhou Jinzhi usually doesn't look obvious, Emperor Longqing also found that Zhou Jinzhi is indeed a very talented person after he was promoted to the ministry, not long after he first joined the ministry, he has now sorted out the affairs of the ministry, and also cleaned up those officials who were a little envious and jealous of his sudden promotion to a few levels.

Maybe......

Emperor Longqing looked at Zhou Jinzhi and couldn't help but think in his heart.

And Zhou Jinzhi, Emperor Longqing didn't speak, so he also stood quietly, not anxious at all.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then asked, "Zhou Aiqing has been able to adapt to the ministry these days?"

Zhou Jinzhi leaned forward slightly, "Back to the emperor, although the affairs of the officials are complicated, the ministers can still stand it." ”

Emperor Longqing then nodded with satisfaction.

He summoned Zhou Jinzhi not only to ask him whether he was suitable for the ministry, but that some officials had to discuss with Zhou Jinzhi when they had completed the examination, and it would be a long time after the discussion was over.

Emperor Longqing beckoned, and was about to ask Zhou Jinzhi to step back, but he saw that Zhou Jinzhi suddenly had some hesitation on his face, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not.

It was rare to see such an expression on Zhou Jinzhi's face, Emperor Longqing was slightly surprised, and asked, "Zhou Aiqing, what do you have to say to me?"

Zhou Jinzhi nodded hesitantly, "Your Majesty, there are a few things that the minister doesn't know whether to talk about or not. ”

What could make Zhou Jinzhi so embarrassed?

Emperor Longqing speculated and said, "Zhou Aiqing has something to say, just say it directly. ”

Hearing Emperor Longqing, the son of heaven, say this, Zhou Jinzhi no longer hesitated, but took out something from his sleeve, "Your Majesty, the minister has something here to ask the emperor to see." ”
