Chapter 553: Borrowing
Zhou Shuren motioned for Jiang Ming to sit, "I'll come back temporarily, no one at home comes, and there is no good tea, this is still a little tea I just bought, don't dislike it." ”
He is used to drinking tea, in modern times he rarely drinks tea, he prefers to drink sweet juice, because there is a sweet taste, some slightly bitter tea taste, he has tasted enough in the years when he was growing up alone.
But in ancient times, he was not a person in ancient times, he had a wife, or a soul mate, he was no longer lonely and began to enjoy the taste of tea, and now he also has a son, a completed home, and slowly learned to taste tea, and taste a new life from tea.
Jiang Ming's hand holding the teacup paused, didn't anyone come to remind him that he shouldn't come? pulled the corners of his mouth, he is older than Zhou Shuren, but in just a few years, he is still standing still, Zhou Shuren has gone from an old show to the position of the prefect of Jinzhou.
The prefect of Jinzhou, the dark rule in the court, the prefect of Jinzhou must enter Beijing, this position is a springboard, just like the second son of the former prefect of Jinzhou Anping Houfu, and now he is from the third official position.
And Zhou Shuren is still the emperor's confidant, the confidant, even if it is the prince of the fourth grade, he is polite, when he knows that Zhou Shuren had dinner with several princes yesterday, yes, he has to add a Yao Hou Ye who has no one in his eyes, his heart is hot, and today he knows that he has seen An Pinghou, he can't help but go down.
Jiang Ming took a sip of tea, it was indeed not a good tea, but it had a taste, and said meaningfully: "The price of tea is not the price, where can I drink it, I think in the hearts of most people, this tea is good tea." ”
He is envious, he thinks that his ability is no worse than Zhou Shuren, but he has never been appreciated since he came to the capital, and he lives a step-by-step life, which is not what he wants, he is fed up with being ignored and ignored, and he regrets returning to the capital for many days.
Zhou Shuren looked at Jiang Ming lightly, so the capital is really a place that can change people, there are more beauties in Jiang Ming's backyard, how can it not seek the feeling of being worshipped, which will make Jiang Ming feel that he is the sky, not an existence that is ignored outside.
Zhou Shuren pressed his eyebrows, and to put it bluntly, he still didn't keep his heart, "I don't think I'm a good tea here." ”
In order to protect his wife and son, he worked step by step, and he really didn't think the tea in Zhoufu was good.
Jiang Ming is a lot more relaxed, he didn't come here to talk about anything, he knows in his heart that Zhou Shuren has a bottom line, so as long as he doesn't step on the bottom line, it's enough to stay a little longer, there are many people in the capital who want to make friends with Zhou Shuren, he doesn't need too much, just borrow strength, hasn't Zhou Shuren also done it?
Jiang Ming poured himself another cup of tea, didn't Zhou Shuren also borrow his strength at the beginning?
Zhou Shuren looked at Jiang Ming playfully, he didn't say anything, he thought faintly, the Jiang family has long since declined, the entire Jiang family only has Jiang Ming as an official, and the clansmen have become a drag on Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming has grown ambitions, but he didn't notice that there is no one in the court, and there is no powerful family, Jiang Ming can be in the seat well, why hasn't he been borrowing his strength.
Otherwise, officials who don't have a strong family and network, especially Jiang Ming's age, should have been let down a long time ago.
Zhou Shuren regretted in his heart, he really liked Jiang Muchen, this kid is good, on the list of candidates for his grandson-in-law, he can only be removed from the list now, unless, Zhou Shuren glanced at Jiang Ming, don't step on his bottom line, once it passes, he really won't show mercy to these relatives.
Jinzhou Mansion, Zhulan received a message from Tao and had found Mr., Zhulan asked people to talk to Dong Yiyi, and informed Dong Yiyi to go to Wangfu together tomorrow.
In the third room, Dong Yiyi heard the news, the corners of her mouth were happy, and she said to her sister: "I really want to thank your mother-in-law." ”
Dong wanted to speak and stopped, and finally turned into a sigh, "Sister." ”
Dong Yiyi held her sister's hand, "I know what you have to say, my dowry has indeed filled a lot of holes in the past few years, but my dowry back then was a lot, you can rest assured, I have money to support Mr. Qi." ”
Dong doesn't believe it, it's not cheap to invite a gentleman, Zhou Fu invited a few gentlemen, that is, Zhou Mansion has a foundation, she has a mother-in-law who can catch money, she doesn't know how much silver flows in the house, but the family will count, Zhuangzi, shops, fields, houses, these are all silver.
What's more, there is a father-in-law who is trusted by the emperor at home, and the rewards received by the family, the gifts given by officials, and the gifts given by businessmen are all wealth.
As for the eldest sister, she did take away most of the family back then, and her sister did accumulate business, but the expenses in the capital are large, and she knows very well that there is also the drag of the Jiang family.
Dong Yiyi was a little embarrassed by her sister, she didn't say that it was a lot of money for the public to socialize, "Don't you believe me?" ”
Dong smiled, "Letter." ”
Dong Yiyi stood up and didn't want to stay with her sister anymore, she felt uncomfortable and jealous, "I'll go back and rest first, don't be tired." ”
Dong, "Hmm. ”
Dong Yiyi went out and stood in the yard, it was snowing again, looking back at the house, I was so envious, my sister didn't have to be in charge, there was a good mother-in-law on it, as long as she lived her own small home, she also saw the account book sent by the Yang family, her sister's dowry income, her brother-in-law's own industrial income, and her sister's plan, she will continue to sell next year, the more she stays, the more jealous she becomes.
In the capital, Zhou Shuren counted the hour, it's been half an hour, an hour, he can't bear to sit, he finally doesn't have to work hard, he can lie down and never sit, he has been sitting all morning this morning, "I'm so old that my legs and feet are not good, I can't sit still." ”
Jiang Ming calculated that it was almost over, got up and said, "You rest first, I will go back first, by the way, the Dong family is disturbing your mansion." ”
Zhou Shuren thought in his heart that the Da Dong family couldn't stay in the Zhou Mansion anymore, and said with a smile: "Then I won't send it." ”
In the past, he was weak, talented and knowledgeable, and there was no seniority, but now he is not only an elder, but his official position is also higher than Jiang Ming, and it is impossible to send it.
Jiang Ming looked at Zhou Shuren silently, he knew in his heart that after this time, Zhou Shuren and him had distanced themselves, but if the line was not complete, the Zhou Mansion could not let Chang Lian divorce his wife, and he had taken care of Chang Lian and Meng Juren.
Zhou Shuren didn't send Jiang Ming to be active in the yard, looking up at the sky, there is a lot of snow in winter this year, the snow is not big, and the light snow is flying, which is quite meaningful.
On Yao's mansion, Yao Zheyu was called back with a cold face, he was very happy that Lord Zhou put his father together last year, and he really didn't want to come back.
It's a pity that I didn't see my father when I entered the main hall, but my father's concubine, who gave birth to a son and a daughter, and is now managing the Hou Mansion.
