Zhulan smiled, "It's considered that she has returned to Beijing. This kid is finally willing to return to Beijing."

Mrs. Song laughed, "You should say that Meng Juren is willing to return to Beijing."

Zhulan changed her words, "Yes, it is true that Meng Juren should be said to have no return to Beijing. Meng Jie would not dare to return to Beijing."

This time Meng Jie returned to Beijing and probably wouldn't go out. This time I spent a long time studying, so Meng Jie also needs to settle down and prepare for the provincial examination next year.

Ming Teng is so annoying at the academy. He has enjoyed too much pleasing this year. In the past, he hopes to rest more in the academy, but now he only hopes to keep attending classes.

Mingteng was a little frustrated. The eldest brother said that this was training and warned him not to get angry. His face was so smiled that it was about to froze.

Ran Xun felt the warmth and coldness. When the gentleman came, he said to Mingteng: "Brother, I will depend on you in the future. You have to protect me."

Since my grandfather entered Beijing and was promoted to the level and did not get an official position, some people's faces have become too ugly. He has mocked him a lot. Grandpa made contributions but did not get power. If my aunt had not been the concubine of the prince, the Ran family would have been hurt by many people, and the Feng family would have been waiting for the opportunity!

Grandpa warned him to follow Mingteng in the academy and go home directly after school, so that he would be more cautious. To put it bluntly, he would just shrank and not cause trouble. He, Xiaoye Ran, could not be regarded as a young master.

Unless grandfather gets the official position he deserves, or the prince ascends the throne, he will have a concubine in his family!

Mingteng patted Ran Xun's shoulder, "It's easy to say, okay, who will talk to each other? Then again, you have always said that you will get engaged this year, how about you? Are you optimistic?"

Ran Xun curled his lips, "I was a hot commodity before grandpa entered Beijing, and my mother almost didn't look at it. After grandpa entered Beijing, no one stepped on the threshold of my family."

Mingteng felt it was not easy for brothers, "I will protect you in the future so that you will not be beaten up."

Ran Xun's mouth is very owed and very arrogant. Now many people want to hit him secretly!

Mingteng grinned, "Do you still dare to break up with me now?"

Ran Xun, "...I dare not, I dare not, I will call you brother in the future."

Mingteng looked at the depressed Ran Xun and his irritability disappeared. There was something worse than him, and he felt particularly balanced.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren called Hu Xia over, Qiu Yan was not there, and there was only Zhou Shuren in the room, signaling Hu Xia to sit down, "Don't be nervous, I'll just talk to you."

Hu Xia was still very nervous, "Sir, what do you want to talk about?"

Zhou Shuren asked, "You did a good job with the Ministry of Revenue this year. What do you think after the end of the year assessment?"

Hu Xia is not nervous this time. He has many jobs this year and has accumulated a lot of credit. He knows that he has arranged it by Lord Zhou, and he has a lot of ideas. It is unrealistic to continue to be with the Ministry of Revenue. Although he hopes to be under Lord Zhou, it is a pity that it won’t work.

He also thought about it himself, "The officials think the Ministry of Works is pretty good."

His temperament is destined to be unable to compete for anything, so he would not be ashamed to handle the matter honestly and steadily. Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Works is the most quiet, and he also has his own little thoughts. The Ministry of Works is the most difficult to ask for money. Everyone knows his relationship with Lord Zhou. He will not be embarrassed at all in the Ministry of Works. As long as he does well, he will still have the chance to be promoted.

Zhou Shuren looked at Hu Xia, thinking to himself that honest people in the officialdom should not underestimate it. The Ministry of Works is indeed the best place for Hu Xia. "You have this idea."

Hu Xia relaxed, "It all depends on the protection of the adults."

If it weren't for Lord Zhou, he would not dare to leave the Ministry of Revenue and would not dare to want to be promoted. Therefore, he was lucky and would definitely give a gift when his nephew got married.

Zhou Shuren knew it in his mind. Although it was still half a year before the end of the year, it was best to prepare some things in advance to avoid making mistakes. The officials in the capital were all the same as carrots and pits. Hu Xia wanted to go to the Ministry of Works and someone must leave.

Moreover, Hu Xia has been the chief officer for so many years, so he should be promoted. He considered Hu Xia so much not only because Gu Liufeng, but more because the Zhou family is weak and Hu Xia has no great ability. The key is self-knowledge and obedience.

Two days later, the Ministry of Revenue was resting, and Wang Ju and Tao brought their grandson to Zhou's house. Zhou Shuren had already prepared a fishing rod by the lake and took Wang Ju directly to the garden.

Zhulan smiled at Tao, "The relationship between them is really good."

The smile on the corner of Dow's mouth froze, then nodded, "My master mentions Lord Zhou every day."

But they are not good things. My husband has become much more capable of cursing people, and they are all scolding Lord Zhou.

Zhulan almost laughed out loud. She could even figure out what Wang Ju was saying. In order not to embarrass Tao, she changed her words, "You haven't come some days."

Tao was tired, "I also wanted to come and have a walk, but it's not possible. Since I returned to Beijing, I have had more things to do. Not only did I have to worry about the Wang family, but I also had to meet the female family in the Wang family. I was so busy."

Nowadays, my mother-in-law doesn’t care about anything. She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and it’s all over her. Wang is a big family in the capital and has a lot of social engagements. She is as busy as a top and has to hold on when she gets sick.

Zhulan looked at Tao's complexion and was indeed very tired. "There are no outsiders here. Come and lean on it for a while. Don't pose and sit. I'm tired even if I look."

The Dow's shoulders loosened, "My every move represents the Wang family. I am used to sitting postures, so I won't be polite to you."

As he said that, Tao got up and sat on the small kang, took the pillow and leaned against it.

Zhulan sighed, "It is difficult to be a clan wife of aristocratic families."

Tao and Zhulan are friends, and with the relationship between the two families, they don’t have much scruples when speaking. “After something happened to my parents’ family, I dare not make any mistakes. I am very afraid that the Wang family will lose face. If it affects the reputation of the Wang family’s daughter, I am a sinner.”

Zhulan frowned, "You are just too strong and put too much pressure on yourself."

Tao smiled, "You said just now that it is difficult to be a clan wife. This is what you should bear and it is also my responsibility. The Wang clan is the whole, and I am the future patriarch's wife. These are my responsibilities."

Zhulan is silent, everything is for the family inheritance, and it is not easy to inherit, especially the person at the helm.

Dow continued: "I am the happiest thing to come with the master today, which can make me feel relaxed for a day."

Zhulan laughed, "Then you should rest for a while. By the way, why didn't you bring Wang Lei here with you?"

Tao pressed his eyebrows, "I think, it's a pity that it won't work. You know she's going to get married at the end of next year, and my mother-in-law is teaching her."

Zhulan felt the grudge of Tao, who was deeply knotted by his mother-in-law!

Today, the Zhou family’s garden is very lively. Because Wang Wei will come, Mingyun and others have asked for leave. They are all at home today, and even Meng Jie is there.

Meng Jie had a rich experience in studying abroad, and the boys were listening in the pavilion, and laughter came from time to time.

Wang Ju looked at Meng Jie, "If this kid doesn't come back, I will forget that you have a disciple."
