It's three days in a blink of an eye, and the hometown of the Gu clan is not too far from the capital, and it is enough for two days to go back and forth quickly, and the news that came first was from Gu Liufeng's grandfather.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren read the news together, and Zhulan was surprised, "Liufeng's grandfather died a long time ago." ”

Zhou Shuren clicked on the news on the paper, "The Gu family's family background is not small. ”

Zhulan glanced at it, "This person has passed away, and I haven't mentioned it to the Hu family, the Gu family really doesn't want Liufeng." ”

Zhou Shuren, "I don't think so, it's a grandson in the end, because of love there is hate, the longer you hate, the more you worry, I just said, the Gu family has a lot of backgrounds, and no one wants Liufeng to go back." ”

Zhulan squinted, "You're just your guess." ”

Zhou Shuren spread out his hands, indeed, this knew his guess, "There is too little news coming back, and we will know when we find out." ”

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't expect that on the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Liufeng's uncle and family would enter Beijing.

Zhou Shuren has been resting at home, he just repaired Mingteng yesterday, and he was in a good mood, Hu Xia came with news.

Zhou Shuren looked at Hu Xia, "This just went to your house after entering Beijing?" ”

Hu Xia nodded, he was also very surprised, "The Gu family has an old mansion in the capital, the house is not big, but a ready-made residence, I arrived in the capital last night, and I sent a post to the lower officials today, hoping to come to visit after the year." ”

Zhou Shuren, "I remember that Liufeng's cousin joined the Ministry of Engineering?" ”

Hu Xia nodded, "The head of the Ministry of Works." ”

Zhou Shuren snorted, he has not relaxed his business contacts for most of the year, his friends in the Ministry of Industry, Lord Fang, Lord Shangshu are not there, Lord Fang is the second-in-command, and it can be regarded as under his nose.

Zhou Shuren asked, "What else do you know about the Gu family?" ”

Hu Xia shook his head, "Xia Guan doesn't know much. ”

Back then, he didn't have much contact with his brother-in-law, and back then, he was self-motivated and didn't pay much attention to the Gu family.

Zhou Shuren was watching the chess game and playing chess by himself, pulling Hu Xia and saying, "Accompany me to the next game." ”

Hu Xia was entangled in his heart, he only knew a little about playing chess, so he could only deal with it.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Shuren waved his hand, it was not as good as Mingteng's, he couldn't forget it, "Do you plan to stay up like this all the time?" ”

Hu Xia didn't think that he would rise all the way up in the household department, the household department was full of talents, he was a practical type of competition, and now his mind moved, "Please also ask for your advice." ”

Zhou Shuren is quite satisfied and clever, "You have to be more attentive next year, and strive to have a good evaluation in the assessment of the officials next year." ”

Hu Xia was excited, this was already a clear point, "Xia Guan must work hard." ”

Zhou Shuren continued: "As for the Gu family, you should watch more. ”

Hu Xia remembered it in his heart, if the adults didn't say it, he would watch more, this is about his nephew's future, and it is also about his future, so he has to be cautious.

Zhulan waited for Hu Xia to leave, and walked out from behind the screen, "The Gu family still has brains, so they didn't send a post to our family." ”

Zhou Shuren, "It's better to have brains than no brains, by the way, what New Year's gift did you give Zhang Jinghong?" ”

Zhulan, "Zhang Jinghong is generous, the New Year's gifts are all sent by picking good tonics, I returned some good fur, don't you say that Zhang Jinghong can't get cold, our family has a lot of good fur, and it is also my intention to send more." ”

Zhou Shuren snorted, "Even if Zhang Jinghong is released, his life is still not very good, even if he buys, he has to go out of Beijing to buy it, otherwise what he buys is not good." ”

"It's not just a matter of life experience, but also Zhang Yang's relationship, no one wants to offend Zhang Yang for Zhang Jinghong, the tonic sent by Zhang Jinghong, Mrs. Song heard that it was bought at a high price in Pinggang."

Zhou Shuren said: "Even if their lives are not publicized, they will not be much better, everyone is afraid that the emperor will suddenly change his face, and they are afraid of being implicated." ”

Zhang Jinghong is in the household department, and the only person who can speak will say that he is the only one who has an official business, and no one will take the initiative to talk to Zhang Jinghong.

Zhulan smiled: "You appreciate him more and more." ”

"What I appreciate is the heart and tenacity, even if it is difficult, I am still not afraid, which is rare."

Zhulan said faintly: "The changes before and after are too great, even that Yao Xin is too, Yao Xin has come to the house twice, but she has not come much." ”

Zhou Shuren snorted, and suddenly became happy, "I haven't brought much of this serious apprentice, and now I'm still browsing the great rivers and mountains, this is not an apprentice, but I have taught a lot." ”

Zhulan also sighed, and just wanted to speak, the youngest son Changzhong came in, "Dad, you promised your son to make ice lanterns, the ice is ready, Dad will send you soon." ”

Zhou Shuren happily took his youngest son's hand, "Has the carver invited by your eldest brother arrived?" ”

Chang Zhong nodded, "It's here, it's here." ”

Zhou Shuren turned his head, "You're not going?" ”

Zhulan didn't want to go, the weather was cold enough, and she had to face a pile of ice, "I won't go, you take care of your son more, don't stay outside for too long." ”

"Got it."

At night, the Zhou Mansion lit the ice lantern, the ice lantern still has a color, yes, the children in the family eat and stay outside, the ice lantern is made a lot, even if the candles lit inside, the whole yard is very bright.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren stood at the door of the house, and Zhulan said: "Tomorrow is thirty, and it is a new year, do you have any wishes for the new year, Lord Zhou?" ”

Zhou Shuren looked at his son and grandchildren, the laughter of the children, Zhou Shuren's face softened, "I want to better protect this home, the home that you and I built together." ”

Protect the children's laughter and better shelter this home.

Zhulan looked at the children who had already had a snowball fight, and even Changli and a few others joined in, even if the calculations outside continued, going home, this is the best safe harbor, "This is the best wish." ”

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand, and he and Zhulan shared a home built with both hands.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Zhou family was jubilant, and Zhulan got up early in the morning to see Yudie and Yuyi who came hand in hand, and the two little girls came the earliest.

Zhulan smiled, "You two came so early. ”

Yudie wore a round one, "Grandma, I got up the earliest, and then went to find Yuyi." ”

Yuyi still yawned, "Sister got up too early." ”

Zhou Shuren picked up the two little girls, these two granddaughters are very rare, "Let's go, grandpa will take you to wake up your uncle." ”

Yudie put her arms around her grandfather's neck, "Grandpa, let's hurry up." ”

Zhulan watched her husband go out with her two granddaughters in her arms, her husband was serious to his grandchildren, and he was the best grandfather to his granddaughters, no matter how naïve the questions asked by the little granddaughters, Zhou Shuren would also explain patiently.

Soon, there was the sound of Yudie and Yuyi's giggles in the courtyard, as well as the voice of his son being a little annoyed.

Chang Zhong wrapped the quilt tightly and sat down, glaring at his father, "Dad, my son is an uncle." ”

He's an uncle, woo, and his little niece will laugh at him in the future.

Zhou Shuren is happy, even if he doesn't go to court, he doesn't have the time to communicate with the children every day, this rest, naturally have fun early, looking at his son's puffing appearance, his heart is very happy, the black history of his son when he grows up!

Jade Butterfly covered her eyes, "Little uncle is ashamed." ”

Yuyi looked at the little uncle and nodded heavily, "Shame." ”

Zhou Shuren saw that his youngest son's face was flushed, and he laughed out loud.
