In the blink of an eye, it was three days. The hometown of the Gu family was not too far from the capital. One horse was enough to go back and forth for two days. The news first came from Gu Liufeng's grandfather.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren read the news together, Zhulan was surprised, "Liu Feng's grandfather had actually passed away long ago."

Zhou Shuren pointed out the message on the paper, "The Gu family has a great family background."

Zhulan glanced at him and said, "This man has passed away and has never mentioned it to the Hu family. The Gu family really doesn't want Liu Feng."

Zhou Shuren, "I don't think it's definitely a grandson. Because love brings hatred. The longer you hate, the more you think about it. As I said just now, the Gu family has a lot of family background, and no one wants Liu Feng to go back."

Zhulan squinted her eyes, "This is just your guess."

Zhou Shuren spread his hands, indeed, this was just his guess, "There are too little news coming back, you will know when you find out."

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren did not expect that on the 29th day of the Chinese New Year, Gu Liufeng's uncle's family would come to Beijing.

Zhou Shuren has been at home and just repaired Mingteng yesterday. He is in a good mood. Hu Xia comes with news.

Zhou Shuren looked at Hu Xia, "Are you going to your mansion just after entering Beijing?"

Hu Xia nodded, and he was also particularly surprised, "The Gu family has an old house in the capital. The house is not big, but it is a ready-made residence. I came to the capital last night and sent a post to the officials today, hoping to visit them after the New Year."

Zhou Shuren, "I remember Liu Feng's uncle joined the Ministry of Works?"

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

Zhou Shuren nodded. He had not relaxed his connections for more than half a year. His friend from the Ministry of Works, Mr. Fang, and the Minister of Works, were not here. Mr. Fang was the second-in-command, and he was under his nose.

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

Hu Xia shook his head, "The officials don't know much."

He didn't have much contact with his brother-in-law back then. At that time, he was determined to be motivated and never cared about the Gu family.

Zhou Shuren was originally watching the chess record and played chess by himself, so he pulled Hu Xia and said, "Get a game with me."

Hu Xia was confused. He only understood chess a little and could only respond to it.

After less than a cup of tea, Zhou Shuren waved his hand. It was better than Ming Teng's plan. He couldn't forget it, "Do you plan to stay in the Ministry of Revenue like this?"

Hu Xia never thought that he would go all the way to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue is full of talents. He is a hard-working person who can't compete. Now he has a moving mind, "I'll ask for advice from you."

Zhou Shuren is quite satisfied and smart, "Next year you should be more attentive and strive to get a good evaluation for the Ministry of Personnel's assessment next year."

Hu Xia was excited. This was already an open guide, "You must work hard."

Zhou Shuren continued: "As for the Gu family, please watch more."

Hu Xia remembered it in his heart. If the adults don’t say it, he will also look at it more. It is related to his nephew’s future and 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 is pretty brainy and didn't send a post to our family."

Zhou Shuren, "It is better to have a brain than not. By the way, what New Year gift did you give Zhang Jinghong?"

Zhulan, "Zhang Jinghong is generous. He always picks good tonics for New Year gifts. I have some good furs. You didn't say that Zhang Jinghong can't catch a cold. Our family has saved more furs, so it's my intention to give more."

Zhou Shuren said, "Even if Zhang Jinghong was 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 is willing to offend Zhang Yang for the sake of Zhang Jinghong. The tonic given by Zhang Jinghong, Mrs. Song found out that she bought it at Pinggang at a high price."

Zhou Shuren said: "Even if they don't have the singularity, they won't be able to live a better life. Everyone is afraid that the emperor will suddenly change his face and are afraid that he will be implicated."

Zhang Jinghong is in the Ministry of Revenue, and the only person who can speak is to say that when others have something to do, no one will take the initiative to speak to Zhang Jinghong.

Zhulan smiled and said, "You are more and more admiring him."

"What I appreciate is the mind and tenacity. Even if it is difficult, it is still not afraid. This is rare."

Zhulan said quietly: "The changes have been too big, even Yao Xin is the same. Yao Xin comes to the mansion twice, but she doesn't have much sense."

Zhou Shuren nodded and suddenly laughed, "I haven't taken this serious apprentice much. I'm still browsing the great mountains and rivers. I'm not a disciple, but I've taught a lot."

Zhulan also sighed, and was about to speak, when her youngest son Changzhong came in, "Dad, you promised your son to make an ice lantern. The ice is ready. Dad will be missing you soon."

Zhou Shuren happily held his younger son's hand, "Have your elder brother hired a carving master here?"

Changzhong nodded, "Here, he's here."

Zhou Shuren turned his head and said, "You won't go?"

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

"knew."

In the evening, Zhou Mansion lit an ice lamp, which was still colored. So, the kids at home stayed outside after dinner. They made a lot of ice lamps, and even the candles lit inside, the whole yard was lit very brightly.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren stood at the door of the house. Zhulan said, "Tomorrow is thirty, and it is another new year. Do you have any wishes for the new year by Lord Zhou?"

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

Protect the laughter of the children and better shelter this home from the wind and rain.

Zhulan looked at the children who had already started snowball fights, and even Changli and others joined in. Even though there were constant calculations outside, they were going home, this was the best safe harbor. "This is the best wish."

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

On New Year's Eve, the Zhou family was very happy. Zhulan woke up early in the morning and saw Yudie and Yuyi holding hands. The two little girls came first.

Zhulan smiled, "You two came very early."

Yudie was wearing a round look, "Grandma, I got up the first time, and then I went to find Yuyi."

Yuyi was still yawning, "Sister got up too early."

Zhou Shuren picked up two little girls. These two granddaughters were very popular. "Let's go, grandpa will take you to get up with your uncle."

Yudie hugged grandpa's neck, "Grandpa, let's go quickly."

Zhulan watched her husband go out with her two granddaughters in her arms. Her husband was serious to her grandchildren and was the best grandfather to her granddaughters. No matter how naive the questions asked by her granddaughters, Zhou Shuren would patiently explain them.

Soon, Yudie and Yuyi giggled in the yard, and his son's voice was a little angry and angry.

Chang Zhong sat tightly wrapped his quilt and glared at his father, "Dad, my son is uncle."

He is an uncle, woo, and his niece will definitely laugh at him in the future.

Zhou Shuren was very happy. Even if he didn't go to court, he didn't have time to communicate with the children every day. He naturally had a good time to rest. Looking at his son's angry look, he felt particularly happy. His son's dark history when he grew up!

Yudie covered her eyes, "The little uncle is embarrassed."

Yu Yi looked at her uncle and nodded heavily, "Shame."
