In the evening, Zhulan talked about Yujiao with Zhou Shuren, "Do you think Concubine Liu has a trick? Do you really think our family and Shangguan family will get engaged directly when they meet the emperor?"

Zhou Shuren fanned the air with a fan, "Concubine Liu didn't dare to make any big moves. Concubine Liu has followed the emperor for many years and knows the emperor's temper. Everyone knows it. Concubine Liu is afraid that she will not be able to take over the scene and is completely disgusted by the emperor. It is better to choose two families with great importance."

Zhulan wanted to roll her eyes, and the Zhou family and Shangguan family became the best candidates, "Do you think Concubine Liu's plan will be as good as she wishes?"

Zhou Shuren flashed the fan's hand and paused, "If the emperor wants to use the second prince as the prince's whetstone, he will be as Liu Fei's wish, and if he doesn't want to choose the Xue family."

Zhulan, "I don't think the emperor will choose whetstones for the prince."

If you really choose, the second prince will be ruined. No matter what the future will be, it will not end up well.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I don't think so, so Concubine Liu won't get what she wants."

The next day, Mingrui did not sleep well in Lijia Village. He was very alert. It kept raining heavily in the first half of the night, and Shangguan Liu couldn't sleep and tossed and turned around in the second half of the night, so he didn't rest.

It was dawn, Mingrui sat up, looked at Shangguan Liu, who had just slept for a while, and pressed his eyebrows hard, got off the kang in a bit of energy, put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

The servant who was guarding outside heard the sound, "Young Master, why did you get up so early?"

Mingrui signaled the servant not to follow him, "I'll go out for a walk."

There were already sounds outside, such as the sound of the door opening, the soft conversation, and the screams of the big goose.

When Mingrui came out, he saw the little boy who was leading the way yesterday holding firewood to the kitchen. When the little boy saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Young master, you need hot water. My grandma is burning hot water. I need to wait for a while."

Mingrui shook his head, "No hurry."

Mingrui listened to the sound of water in the ditch and took a deep breath of fresh air. His sleepiness was completely gone. He was born in Zhoujia Village, but he had not lived in Zhoujia Village for long. His younger brothers and sisters behind him had never contacted the village.

He often heard his mother say that he was in Zhoujia Village. He turned to look at the busy Zhao family. Because the Zhao family fled back then, the old lady had three sons and one died. Now he has two sons around him. The family is an old lady in charge of the family, and the two sons each have several children, so the population is simple.

Mingrui has a good impression of this family, hardworking, united, kind and filial to his son, reminding him of his family.

When I walked out of the yard, I heard the sound of memorizing the Three Character Classic. I followed the sound and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy digging the ditch at the door to release water.

This boy is the eldest son of the second wife of the Zhao family, and the eldest brother of the little boy who led the way yesterday.

Zhao Bai was embarrassed to be seen and was a little helpless, "I, I heard from the young master teach my younger brother yesterday, so I followed him to carry it."

Mingrui asked, "Can you learn it?"

Zhao Bai, "I heard from Brother Xia from Lizheng's family that I remember some of them. Yesterday, the young master taught his younger brother, and I remember some more."

Mingrui continued to ask, "But you want to study?"

Zhao Bai nodded and shook his head, and smirked and scratched the back of his head, "I'm not very smart, and my family doesn't have money to support me in school. I just want to recognize more words. I don't want to recognize words and be deceived. I don't know if I sign a contract to sell my body."

Mingrui also said: "The official uniform has promotional albums, and there are simple words on it."

Zhao Bai pursed his lips, "Our village is far away from the county town, and it takes a day to go once. There is no need to rarely go to the county town. Generally, purchasing will be purchased in large nearby villages and towns."

Ming Rui understood that they could not see the promotional album in the county town, "You want to read so much, but someone in the village has been deceived?"

Zhao Bai nodded, "Well, our village is poor, Uncle Qian is sick, and he said that Uncle Qian's daughter is going to work, but the contract book is selling the contract."

"Didn't let Li Zheng take a look?"

Zhao Bai didn't say anything, but Ming Rui understood that Lijia Village is not a village composed of a family. The patriarch will be responsible for the affairs of the clan. Only when the village is beneficial will he help.

In the capital, after the morning court, Lord Shangguan walked to Zhou Shuren, "My granddaughter is thanks to my granddaughter's care."

"This is serious. Yujiao is younger than Ling's granddaughter, and Yujiao is being taken care of."

Lord Shangguan smiled, "Mr. Zhou will go together?"

"good."

The two of them walked together, shocking many ministers. What was going on? The two of them had never said a word before, and Mr. Wen also frowned.

Lord Xue was up and down, and there was no movement in the palace, so he didn't dare to send someone to inquire. It was logical that there should be news in the palace.

Mr. Shangguan did not become proud of his future crown princess at home. Instead, he did not want the crown princess at home. The more he hid, he fell on his own.

Since the imperial edict came out, he has been more careful in the court, for fear of saying a wrong sentence.

He had never been in contact with Zhou Shuren. He used to think it was unnecessary. The Shangguan family had its own way of survival, but now he had the desire to make friends and felt the gratitude today.

Zhou Shuren has a good impression of the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family is very similar to the Ning family. The Wen family is as high-profile as the Shangguan family is, and the future princess rarely goes out.

He had never heard of anyone who was arrogant in the Shangguan family. If the Shangguan family had not had the crown princess, he would be optimistic about the Shangguan family. Unfortunately, if the Zhou family wants to remain undefeated, they should try their best to avoid being involved with the royal family.

The two of them didn't say much, they talked about some political affairs, and they separated when they arrived at the palace gate.

Wang Ju followed along, and waited for Lord Shangguan to leave, and then took the carriage from the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhou Shuren, “Are you fatter again?”

Wang Ju, “...no.”

"I don't believe it, you tremble as soon as you get off the carriage."

Wang Ju shrank his stomach, "That's your illusion."

Zhou Shuren stopped teasing Wang Ju, "What are you doing when you keep up?"

Wang Ju, "I'm curious, why have you had a friendship with Lord Shangguan?"

Zhou Shuren smiled but said nothing. Yesterday, he invited Zhulan and Mrs. Shangguan to enter the palace. The news was blocked. It is not known that Yujiao and Shangguan Li have left the palace.

Wang Ju whispered: "The future princess of the Shangguan family has been released. You don't want to participate."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, "What do you think?"

Wang Ju was relieved, "I just said you are cunning."

"You can say it again."

Wang Ju waved his hand, "You pretend you didn't hear it."

"It's too late."

Wang Ju smiled dryly, and then revealed a big news, "My father is about to retire."

Zhou Shuren was shocked, "Why did the old man suddenly want to retire?"

"I have gained a foothold in Beijing. Our two families have already married. My father put down his burden and wanted to live his old age in a leisurely manner."

It is said that his father was able to put down his burden and retire, thanks to Zhou Shuren's life experience, Zhou Shuren's status in the court and in the royal family, the Wang family married the Zhou family, and the Wang family had reliable allies.
