The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-law

As soon as the time of the Xia Yamen arrived, Zhou Shuren walked out of the door of the household department on time. Today, the carriage of the grassland tribe stopped in front of the door of the household office.

King Tana got off the carriage, "This king has never had the opportunity to invite the lord to have a drink. I am very sorry. Today, I don't know if Master Zhou can give this king a face?"

Zhou Shuren wanted to refuse very much, but unfortunately he couldn't. The emperor was planning to plan the grassland tribe, and he wanted to cooperate more, "Your Highness, please."

King Tana laughed, "This king likes Lord Zhou's temperament, please Lord Zhou."

Zhou Shuren didn't get on King Tana's carriage, and pointed to his own carriage, "This official's carriage will follow."

King Tana didn't think much about it. The people had already been invited, so Zhou Shangshu wouldn't go back on his word and turned around and got into the carriage.

Zhou Shuren also got into his own carriage, followed closely, and said in a low voice, "Why does the prince of the grassland tribe invite adults?"

The adults should have offended all these tribes last time.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Princesses from various tribes came to Beijing for this reason."

Where there is a permanent enemy, as long as the interests are sufficient, the enemy will become a brother.

The grassland tribes are also fighting for territory every day. If you count down the generations, they are dead enemies, but the benefits are enough. It is not about intermarriage, but the alliance.

Jin Yan's heart moved, "King Tana will give a gift to the adults."

Zhou Shuren, "Well, these grassland tribes should have more than just found their officials."

As long as you can speak in front of the emperor, there should be someone to bribe it. Don't be sorry for the benefits of free door-to-door delivery. Thinking of the skins and medicinal materials you saw yesterday, the grassland tribes have indeed gained weight in recent years.

Zhou Shuren couldn't help laughing again. These people's hearts are really at odds.

In the evening, when Zhou Shuren came back, it was already dark. As soon as people entered the house, Zhu Lan smelled the wine and frowned, "How much did you drink?"

Zhou Shuren, "I didn't drink much. King Tana can drink too much, but I smelled of alcohol on my body."

Zhulan put down the pen in her hand, took the handkerchief handed over by the girl, and wiped her hands. After observing that Zhou Shuren didn't drink too much, she was relieved, "You are quite old, and drinking can hurt your health."

"I never heard what you said, I remember it in my heart."

Zhulan motioned Zhou Shuren to change clothes, Zhou Shuren took out a box from his arms, and when Zhulan opened it, her eyes lit up.

"The Lord of the Prairie gave it to you?"

"Well, let me say more good things for his daughter, and say that it's a great thank you."

Zhulan, "It's really generous."

Zhou Shuren's tone was filled with regret, "Unfortunately, it won't happen, so I can only receive benefits once."

"It's not bad, you just accept it, will the emperor think too much?"

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes, "No, it's fine to go to the palace tomorrow and have a chat with the emperor, and I'm not the only one to receive the gift."

There are too many old foxes in the capital, and no one will push the benefits of white gain.

Zhu Lan thought about it too, "Are you full at night? Let the kitchen prepare some if you're not full."

"No, I want to eat noodles, just let the kitchen make a bowl of fried noodles."

"good."

The next day, after the end of the morning court, Zhou Shuren and others hadn't acted yet. The emperor left and left Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhou, the emperor said you can keep it."

Zhou Shuren touched the bag in his arms and nodded, this is what the general guarding the gate reported to the emperor.

Eunuch Zhang continued to spread the word, Zhou Shuren counted it, and there were quite a few people who shared his thoughts with him today. Rong Enqing, who was not in the early morning, also came, and it seemed that he also received something.

Rong Enqing walked over quickly, "You got a gift too?"

That's right, it's a gift, and he doesn't say bribes.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Well, this officer is uneasy!"

Rong Enqing, "..."

You have never been uneasy about receiving 300,000 taels, what is this!

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "What kind of eyes do you have?"

Rong Enqing, "I see that your face is not good. You must have slept uneasy last night."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep last night after tossing and turning."

Rong Enqing didn't want to answer, "Everyone is almost gone, should we go too?"

When Zhou Shuren saw that there were not many people, he turned around and walked out. He met the Prince within a few steps, "I have seen His Royal Highness."

The prince looked at Lord Zhou's arms, how come no one gave him a gift, he is really poor, even if there is help from his mother, he is very poor, "I will go back to the household together with the adults."

Rong Enqing is also busy with the ceremony. He has too few opportunities to see the prince, so he naturally needs to do more to gain good impressions.

Zhou Shuren felt the prince's gaze, he could stabilize, and he didn't want to spit out what was in his pocket.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, the prince did not prepare the carriage. This was to rub Zhou Shuren. Seeing that he was about to get on the carriage, Rong Enqing took out his pocket, "These are some gadgets that I just got for the prince to play with, the prince, don't dislike it. ."

The prince knew what these people had received, and was happy in his heart, with a very reserved face, "This is not good."

Rong Enqing has already stuffed the bag into the little father-in-law's arms, "There's nothing wrong with it, the minister is also free."

The prince frowned, "I can't have it."

Rong Enqing had already run away to see the ceremony again, thinking that he had brushed the prince's favor today~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The footsteps were very brisk.

The prince winked at the little eunuch, and then got on the carriage. Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes wildly, Rong Enqing pitted him, but Rong Enqing gave the prince generously.

Zhou Shuren lowered his head and took out the bag, opened the bag and flipped through the gems inside, confirming that it was the smallest one before taking it out, "It's not as simple as that of Lord Rong Hou if you want to raise a family, it's not easy for your granddaughter to save more dowry. A gem, please don't dislike it, Your Highness."

The prince stretched out his hand to take it, and he didn't need to pretend it before Zhou Shang wrote it, but he didn't take it, "Sir?"

Zhou Shuren let go of his hand reluctantly, "Hey, it's really not easy for a minister to support his family."

Prince Dang didn't hear it, and getting something from the stingy Lord Zhou was happier than Lord Ronghou gave him a bag, "Guhui kept it."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

The crown prince thought in his heart that the gems could be sold to the royal father, which was the safest. Although the price must be lower than the market price, at least it would not be discovered by the lord of the grasslands. It was a shame and less money. He chose the latter. Well, he still wanted to face.

In the Zhou family, Zhulan was looking at the letters from the eldest brother and the second brother. She wrote to Wu Chun, but it was the eldest and the second brother who replied, which explained a lot of problems.

The letter replied that everything was fine at home, nothing else was mentioned.

Zhulan touched the letter, and it seemed that the border had moved. She took a deep breath and put the letter down.

Zhao Shi hurried in, "Mother, Wan'er is about to give birth."

Zhulan stood up in no hurry, Ran Wan was already having her second child, "A dozen days earlier than the expected date of delivery."

Zhao Shi, "Yes, my sister-in-law and I were talking to Ran Wan when Wan'er had a stomachache, and the child was anxious to come out."

Zhulan smiled, "Let's go, let's take a look."
