Beijing, it has been a few days since the township test was released, Zhulan has been waiting for the results of the fourth child, Zhou Shuren comes back every day, she will ask, the list of the township test will be sent to the capital, and the official road is faster than the urgent letter of the fourth child.

Hubu, this month Zhou Shuren did not go to the early court, just arrived at the Hubu, Zhang Jinghong waited at the door of the house, and saw Zhou Shuren come forward to congratulate, "Congratulations to Lord Zhou, the second place in the Gongzi Township Test on Thursday." ”

Zhou Shuren felt that his son could be the first, so he had been very stable, but he never expected that he slapped his face, but fortunately he reacted quickly, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Jinghong smiled, "The list that arrived in the capital early this morning, and the household department that Lord Qiu said when he came back has already spread. ”

Zhang Jinghong really admires Master Zhou, not only does he study well, but his son is also very good.

Zhou Shuren was congratulated all the way, and when he returned to the office room, Qiu Yan was already waiting, "Congratulations Brother Zhou, today the prince specially read the top three in each state in the court, and His Royal Highness the prince also specially said that adults teach their children well." ”

Now the entire court believes that the crown prince will succeed to the throne smoothly, and these days he has worked hard to brush his presence in front of the prince, so that His Royal Highness the prince can remember that Qiu Yan really admires it, even if the imperial power is alternate, Zhou Shuren is still reused by the prince.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan also said, "Your Excellency has to be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that your Excellency will help you more in the future." ”

Zhou Shuren complained in his heart, he really didn't want to be remembered by the prince, the last excerpt was obviously handed over to King Liang, and the prince kept him several times, and he couldn't wait to fill in the frame he handed over, bah, this is ancient times, he can give a rough framework, but the filling is not good, there are too many interests involved, don't think that Shang Jia can really be weak and bullied, he is really in a hurry, there are many bold people, so he doesn't do it and doesn't come up with ideas.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, he can give the frame, once he meddles in everything, sooner or later it will be spread out, it is not good to pull hatred, and he does not dare to really interfere, it was originally when the imperial power was alternated, he gave the idea honestly.

Zhou family, Xue Han was also worried about the fourth brother's results, and her father-in-law got the news to tell her, so she went back to her parents' house, "Mother, the second brother is second in the township test." ”

Zhulan, "Isn't it the first?" ”

Sure enough, it's a couple, and I'm worried about it, but I still have confidence in Changzhi.

Xue Han choked for a while, you must know that the father-in-law was very happy when he got the news, and he also praised the father for teaching his son, and said weakly: "Is the second very bad?" ”

Zhulan coughed, "It's not bad, it's good, you also know that your fourth brother has been a showman for many years, and he has never slacked off, but your fourth brother is running for the first, so he didn't get the first exam, so I was surprised." ”

Xue Han thought of the fourth brother's motivation to study, and inexplicably felt that the second pair of the fourth brother was a blow, "Mother, the fourth brother won't be under pressure, I remember saying that the fourth brother is going to take the top exam and come back." ”

Zhulan naturally remembered, "This year's imperial examination is very intense, your fourth brother is full of confidence to go back to Pingzhou for the exam, and the result is second, in the coming year, all the states will gather in the capital, and they will all go to the champion." ”

Xue Han didn't know that his fourth brother wanted to take the junior college entrance examination, and now the first level is gone.

Zhulan asked, "Lin Xi is still in the palace?" ”

Xue Han nodded, depressed, "I've been living in the palace for some days, I want to pick it up, Rong Chuan asked me to wait a few more days, mother, you said that the queen mother won't support my daughter, how can I beat the drum in my heart!" ”

She was angry with Rong Chuan yesterday, her own daughter still has to be raised by herself, she is depressed, she is not rare enough when her daughter is born, either her grandmother guards her or the queen's mother, but her mother is standing aside.

Zhulan heard that her daughter's tone was a little resentful, and patted her daughter's hand, "Rong Chuan said that it will definitely be done." ”

Xue Han Xinniang, "Hmm." ”

At noon, Zhou Shuren was very generous to treat, his fourth child had a good grade, and he should have a treat, so he chartered a restaurant near the household department and invited officials from the household department.

Zhou Shuren asked Lord Xiao and Qiu Yan to take the first step, and as soon as the people arrived at the restaurant and were ready to serve, King Qi and King Chu arrived.

King Qi smiled, "Congratulations to Lord Zhou, this king heard the news, so he didn't come to rub his joy." ”

The king of Chu answered: "I just happened to meet the king of Qi, and this king came over together. ”

Zhou Shuren's table immediately went down to the two household officials, the King of Qi and the King of Chu took their seats, Zhou Shuren smiled, "It is an honor for the King of Qi and His Royal Highness the King of Chu to come." ”

King Qi really wants to make friends with Zhou Shuren, last time King Liang returned to Beijing with the four sons of the Zhou family, and then he never went out, although he found the Rong family's errand The prince took it, but there was a problem, they could see it, and picked up the wine glass, "This king respects Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Shuren tasted it, and he had to run an errand, but in fact, the wine glass was full of tea.

King Chu smiled and picked up the wine glass and toasted it, and waited for Zhou Shuren to drop the wine glass, as if talking casually, "Since King Liang returned to Beijing, the fourth child has been very polite to Lord Zhou, the last time I saw it on the street, the fourth child actually made way for Lord Zhou, and this king thought it was wrong!" ”

This melon is a bit big, and the household officials who were already very quiet have pricked up their ears, and even Lord Xiao and Qiu Yan have turned their eyes sideways.

What can Zhou Shuren say, can he say that King Liang didn't see the letter, because the cousin that the emperor said, King Liang regarded him as an elder?

Zhou Shuren, "King Liang's character is noble, but the lower officials have important matters, so they gave way, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Chu to see it." ”

King Chu didn't believe it, what virtue did his younger brother who grew up with him, he knew very well, the fourth brother had a dead hand on the Zhou family, how could he suddenly change his character, but Zhou Shuren was very cunning, "Yes, it turns out that in the eyes of Lord Zhou, the fourth child has such a good character." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "In the eyes of the lower officials, the character of several princes is good, and the lower officials have always seen it in their eyes." ”

King Qi looked at Zhou Shuren, whose face was not red or panting, and smiled, "Since Lord Zhou admires this king so much, this king also wants to communicate more with adults, and he will visit him another day." ”

Zhou Shuren didn't panic, he used all the rest of the next month, so he was generous, "Okay." ”

Halfway through the meal, the guards of King Qi and King Chu hurriedly walked in and whispered in the ears of the two princes.

Zhou Shuren's ears are very smart, his eyes are not bright, yo, it's okay to be public, the child who has just been born for a long time has fallen by mistake today!

King Qi was stunned, reacted and stood up, Zhang Yang was a pawn of his father to find the Zhang family, his face was ugly, and he scolded Zhang Yang in his heart for being a fool, there was more than enough success and failure, "Lord Zhou, this king has something to do, so he will take the first step." ”

The King of Chu also wanted to go and see, since he was honest, he had been following in the footsteps of King Qi, and the more he paid attention, the more he knew, and King Qi knew secrets that he didn't know.

Zhou Shuren also wanted to take a look, but it was a pity in his eyes, and he hoped that the child was fine, this child was an important chess piece of the emperor.

Xiao Qing coughed, "Everyone is gone, don't look at it." ”

Shuren Zhou, "...... I didn't mean to watch the show. ”

Xiao Qing, "Hehe." ”

If I believe you, it's weird.
