In a blink of an eye, it was seven days, the Zhou family finally received the New Year's gift from the Yang family and Qian Kezhi, this year's New Year's gift from the Yang family was heavier than in previous years, and the New Year's gift was sent together with the silver of the orchard, this year's harvest was not good, the rain was a little more, the taste of the fruit was also poor, and the price was much lower than in previous years, but it was also a good income.

Zhulan distributed the skins sent by the Yang family to each room, and she didn't keep a single one, mainly because in this winter, each room was filial to the skin, and there was a few pieces of money to be sent, and the main courtyard was enough.

Some other New Year's gifts, Zhulan have been sorted out, waiting for gifts in a few days.

After entering Beijing this year, the cost of this year's ceremony has increased again, and the main part is the Ningguo Mansion.

Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren enter the house, "You came back earlier than usual today." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Calculate something, the emperor means, don't be so anxious in winter, I don't have to work overtime, and besides, I chatted with the prince in the palace today." ”

"What did you talk about?"

Zhou Shuren drank hot tea to warm up his body, "It's a good thing, the prince mentioned Wu Ming, and also mentioned the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhulan raised her head from the list of New Year's gifts she was planning, "What do you mean, Wu Ming will enter Beijing and go to the Ministry of Rites after the year?" ”

Zhou Shuren held the teacup, his hands were a lot warmer, "You also know that this Ministry of Rites has always been in Feng Huai's hands, and the prince found a problem, but he just had a seizure in the Ministry of Punishment, and it will not be easy to move the Ministry of Rites for a while, so I don't worry about Wu Ming." ”

Zhulan heard the sound of walking, and Mrs. Song came back with the girl, and whispered quickly: "So you are not only happy that Wu Ming entered Beijing, but also happy that the prince used Wu Ming." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "My daughter-in-law is smart." ”

Zhulan thought in her heart, at present, it seems that the crown prince is nine out of ten stable, as long as it is completely cleaned up, the prince should be on the throne, at this time the prince uses Wu Ming, Wu Ming moves closer to the prince, and the imperial power is alternate, as long as Wu Ming seizes the opportunity, the road in the future will be smooth.

Mrs. Song came in at this time, "Dinner has been prepared, and the hot pot has been served." ”

Zhou Shuren heard it, "You should eat hot pot this winter, what kind of pot is it today?" ”

Zhulan said: "The mutton pot is replenished, and you should go and change your clothes." ”

"Okay."

When Zhulan and Zhou Shuren arrived, all the rooms were already seated, and Rong Chuan also came today, well, and Gu Liufeng, Zhulan told Mingyun to invite in the morning.

Zhou Shuren saw Gu Liufeng's face flushed, and his forehead was covered with sweat, "What's the matter, the room is hot?" ”

Gu Liufeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lord Zhou, "It's not hot." ”

Zhou Shuren looked at his youngest son's fat hand covering his mouth and snickering, come on, this kid bullied Liu Feng again, and looked away, "Take chopsticks, eat, the mutton pot in winter is the most replenished, eat quickly." ”

As he spoke, he got off his chopsticks first.

There are a lot of people in the Zhou family, and there are many young men, and I don't know how many catties of meat I ate for this meal.

Guogong Mansion, Ning Guogong saw his youngest son come over for dinner, "Rong Chuan went to Zhou Mansion again?" ”

Ning Xu was pitiful, "Yes, that's why my son came to eat." ”

In the past, he didn't feel anything when he ate alone, but he enjoyed the quiet, but since Rong Chuan accompanied him to eat, he didn't like to eat alone, but unfortunately, this son was like a daughter, thinking about running to Zhou's house all day long.

Ning Guogong asked, "Isn't Zhang Jinghong's life history clear, and the emperor still has to wait?" ”

Ning Xu nodded, "Well, it's not lively enough now, the attention these days is focused on expanding the navy, and no one has mentioned Zhang Jinghong's life experience, so there's no hurry." ”

Ning Guogong snorted, and waited for the dishes to be served, "Eat." ”

Zhou's mansion, Xue Han wore a cloak and sent Rong Chuan out of the house, the two walked very closely, it was also dark this day, and they were both wearing cloaks, and the girl behind them was a few steps away.

Rong Chuan borrowed the strength of the wine, his courage was a little bigger, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Xue Han's hand, his palm was like a fire, Xue Han's hand was a little cold, and he couldn't help but clench it a little, feeling Xue Han's struggle, his hand seemed to dominate his brain, and he clenched it tighter.

Xue Han didn't drink, but his face was red and red, he couldn't pull it off, and he didn't dare to make a big move, so he glared at Rong Chuan angrily, this person was getting more and more bold, but listening to the sound of stepping on the snow, he slowly quieted down, wishing that this road would not be able to go to the end.

Rong Chuan slowed down his pace and grinned, sometimes, it's good that the hand is disobedient, well, it's the hand that has its own thoughts.

It's a pity that when he arrived at the gate of the mansion soon, Xue Han stopped, coughed, and waited for Rong Chuan to let go of his hand, quickly hid his hand, and lowered his head, "There is snow on the road, and the carriage will be slower when you go back." ”

Rong Chuanjiao also had his own thoughts and didn't want to leave, but when he heard the cough, he rolled his eyes in his heart, "I heard it, don't cough." ”

Xia Mo couldn't see it when it was dark, he rolled his eyes happily, every time Childe and Miss were separated, he was reluctant to do so, he remembered Master Hou's words and asked Childe to go home early.

Xue Han wanted to get into the snow, so he quickly turned around and ran, "You don't use it these days." ”

When Rong Chuan heard this, he looked at Xia Mo resentfully, "Let you talk more, now there is no one, cough hard." ”

Xia Mo, "......"

He's not human inside or out, it's just, hell.

Gu Jia, Gu Liufeng entered the house, and saw his mother waiting for him while embroidering a handkerchief, "Mother, my son is back." ”

Hu Shi, "I came back so early, I thought you would come back later." ”

Gu Liufeng explained, "I drank two glasses of wine today, and because there was snow on the road, I didn't stay long. ”

Hu Shi was surprised, "Drinking?" ”

Gu Liufeng nodded, "Lord Zhou said that his son is not young, and he can practice properly, so as not to suffer in the future, so his son tried it, but he didn't expect that his son's alcohol consumption was okay." ”

Seeing that his son was indeed sober, Hu Shi said with a smile: "My mother doesn't know much, you just listen to what Lord Zhou says, and Lord Zhou won't harm you." ”

Gu Liufeng nodded, "Hmm." ”

Then his cheeks were a little red, and today Lord Zhou's youngest son asked him to call him Uncle Xiao again, and Yushuang helped him, and smiled a little stupidly.

The Hu family came over, and laughed, it seems that the son is really interested in the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, which is reassuring.

The next day, the county lord Shen came to the door again, and for the second time in the past few days, Zhulan said politely: "I will send someone to call Su Xuan over." ”

Shen Yile shook his head, "Su Xuan has to take care of the two children, I'll just go over and find her." ”

Zhulan, "Okay, I'll send someone to lead the way." ”

She and Shen Yile have nothing to talk about, and since she is looking for Su Xuan, she won't stay long.

Zhulan waited for Shen Yile to go out, and said to Mrs. Song: "I heard that the queen doesn't see the county lord Shen now?" ”

Mrs. Song, "Yes." ”

Zhulan said faintly: "This Shenhou Mansion is going to be silent. ”

Mrs. Song is used to the housewife from time to time, and she really deserves to be the person who cares about Lord Zhou, don't look at the housewife's dealings with the women in the back house, but her vision is not limited to the back house, and she looks at the situation very accurately.
