Chapter 1351 Candidates

Mingrui didn't look up, "Uncle, I'm almost fine."

Chang Zhong grabbed Ming Rui's book and rolled his eyes, "That's not in a hurry for a few days, come, let's talk about how we feel after getting engaged."

Mingrui blushed, but still didn't forget to grab the book, "How does it feel to be engaged?"

Changzhong is not as big as Mingrui, so naturally he can't grab Mingrui. Changzhong wanted to divert his nephew's attention, but it was useless, "Don't push yourself too much, you have worked too hard."

Mingrui tugged at the little quilt covering his lap, "I'm working hard now for a smoother future, little uncle, you don't know that my father also studies late at home every day. Compared with my father, I I'm not working hard."

After Changzhong heard this, he stopped disturbing Mingrui, and huddled himself under the quilt, and remained silent for a while. Mingrui thought that the little uncle had fallen asleep, so he saw the little uncle stretched out his hand to touch a book, and sat up again, holding the book and reading it carefully. with.

Mingrui opened his mouth until he swallowed the words, and the two of them read the book quietly.

Zhou Shuren stood outside the window, looked at his youngest son and Mingrui from the window, and stood for a while before leaving.

In the main courtyard, Zhulan was puzzled, "It's rare to come back early today to see the two children? Why did you come back so soon?"

Zhou Shuren sat and took off his shoes, "They were studying, so I didn't go in to disturb them."

Zhulan said suspiciously: "This is not like you!"

Zhou Shuren changed his shoes, "Ming Rui worked very hard, and even Chang Zhong worked hard together. These two children are very good together."

"I just think Mingrui is working too hard."

"Mingrui is the one who knows what he wants the most among all the children. He knows that if he wants to get it, he has to pay twice as much. It's good."

There are many grandchildren in his family, and he pays more attention to Mingyun for his grandchildren, while Mingrui pays less attention to this child. The most he knows is that this child works very hard.

Zhulan, "Mingrui is the eldest son of the second household. This child is very thoughtful. He loves his father very much."

Zhou Shuren hummed, "The prince will travel for the emperor next year."

Zhulan regained her spirits, "Travel?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, now that the main roads have been repaired, the crown prince will inspect for the emperor."

Zhulan was surprised, "Didn't the Supreme Emperor go on a tour?"

Zhou Shuren explained: "This time it's not just an inspection, the emperor also wants to take the opportunity to let the prince go to see the states in person, and learn how to be a prince for the people."

Zhulan sighed, "The emperor's education is really good."

The high-ranking prince who doesn't understand the people's livelihood is always far away from the people, and what he hears is never as good as what he sees with his own eyes.

Zhou Shuren nodded, "It's really good."

The emperor himself has the ambition to expand the frontier, and what the next generation of emperors need is the ability to govern. Now the emperor is training the prince how to better govern the country, starting with understanding the people of the country.

Zhulan asked, "You suddenly mentioned this to me, it shouldn't be just to share news."

Zhou Shuren hummed, "The emperor told me in advance that he hoped that when the prince asked me for advice, he hoped that I would talk more about people's livelihood. At the same time, the prince will bring some people with him on this trip."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "The emperor gave us a place?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, the emperor not only wants the crown prince to understand the common people, but also hopes that the future descendants of the major families will also understand, so many families in the capital have quotas."

Zhulan understood, "You originally thought about who to let go, but now you are hesitant."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Ming Yun has already entered the Imperial Academy, Ming Teng will not follow the prince, so I think about Chang Zhong, Ming Rui let me ignore it."

Zhulan understood, "This time the aristocratic family will definitely choose fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys. Changzhong is young, so let Mingrui go. Among the grandchildren, Mingrui has the least resources."

The first room has Ming Yun and Ming Teng, it is impossible to favor Ming Hui, the third room Ming Ling is still young, and the fourth room Ming Jia is not very old.

Ming Yun entered the Hanlin Academy, Ming Teng could not follow the prince, according to the order of seniority, it should be Mingrui.

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Zhulan and his wife talked, no one was left in the room.

This habit, as soon as the conversation starts, the servants in the house will go out, and no one knows what the couple are talking about.

It can be said that Zhou Shuren was the first to get the news from the emperor, and then others got the news one after another, and they started to prepare in private.

The temperature is getting colder and colder, but there is still no snow, the cold wind keeps blowing, and the people are worried about the next year.

Boss Zhou not only manages the land of the big house, but also the land of the entire mansion. He is worried about the future of the next year, and his mouth is full of anger. "Mother, next year will not be a drought year!"

Mrs. Li poohed a few times, "The good ones are the bad ones, if you can't speak, then don't speak."

Frighten me to death, return the drought year, is the drought year better?

Boss Zhou patted his mouth, "The good ones are bad, the bad ones are not."

Zhulan has never encountered such a winter scene in ancient times. "It may snow in a few days, who can say for sure."

Li said: "Mother said it will snow when it snows."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

She just said it for the better, if only she said what she said.

Boss Zhou was not happy, but worried that there would be no snow in winter, and whether it would cause a snow disaster if it snowed.

At this time, Zhulan misses the modern weather forecast very much. Hearing the strong wind outside, Zhulan couldn't cheer up, "You all go back too."

In the household department, Zhou Shuren is also afraid of extreme weather, so he has repeatedly confirmed that there is no problem with the prepared materials, so he feels at ease.

The newly appointed Liu Shilang is naturally strong in ability, and he is even more watertight than Mr. Wang in dealing with people.

Liu Shilang said: "Your Excellency is frowning, but are you still worried about the weather?"

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Liu Shilang said: "The imperial court has been well-prepared over the years, and has some experience in dealing with extreme weather. You can relax a bit, my lord."

Zhou Shuren asked back, "Is the errands going smoothly recently?"

"The household division of labor is clear, and the subordinate officials have adapted to handle it fairly smoothly."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "That's good. If you have any questions, you can ask Qiu Yan. There is nothing he can't handle in the household department."

Liu Shilang, "Yes."

In the Zhou family, Zhulan became refreshed when she saw her granddaughter Linxi, "Dafengtian, why did you bring Linxi back?"

Xuehan pointed to the basket that was brought in, "The fruit I bought has arrived. I'll send some to you and Dad. Linxi hasn't seen grandma for a long time. This girl is clamoring to come over, but I have no choice but to bring her here."

Linxi, "Grandma, you don't miss me!"

Zhulan smiled, "Yes, grandma misses Linxi."

Linxi was spoiled and grew up. This girl was the only one who dared to sit and eat in the arms of the Supreme Emperor. So many people spoiled her, and the child was not delicate, which shows how good-tempered the little girl is.

Xuehan watched her daughter chatting with her mother, and when she said she was going to find her cousins, Xuehan said to her, "Mother, I'm not going to go out of Beijing with Rong Chuan next year."

Zhulan nodded, "Well, you told me, what's wrong?"
