When he was full and drunk, the stone went out of the house to look for the bearer, and carried a few adults back to the house. Zhou Jinnian left his eldest brother Xie Yao, and the two went back to the study to discuss matters.

Xie Ning went to cook the mung bean soup, took it to the study by himself, and listened to the eldest brother and husband discussing the matter as soon as he entered the door.

Xie Yao said: “Indeed, I returned to Beijing from your Jianzhou Mansion last year and learned that it was Huang Dunyi who arranged for me to Jianzhou Mansion because the people of Jianzhou had no food."

Zhou Jinian's face was solemn, and he sat at the desk thinking deeply.

Xie Yao glanced at the younger brother who entered the door, and then continued: "And... I heard that it was Yin Xiang's idea for you to be the prefect of Jianzhou."

"Yin Sheng?" Zhou Jinnian looked sideways at his elder brother, and Yin Sheng must have listened to Huang Dunyi's recommendation.

Zhou Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief, "Ning Lang, I will visit Shi Lang Huang in the next two days, you help me prepare some entrance salutes."

"Okay." Xie Ning promised, holding up the mung bean juice and handing it over, "After drinking the mung bean hydrolysis and hangover, the eldest brother will also drink a bowl. I will ask Luhe to arrange two girls to clean up the wing, eldest brother will stay tonight."

After talking about Xie Ning, he left the study.

After the two of them drank the mung bean water, Xie Yao continued to ask, "What are you going to do with Huang Dunyi?"

Zhou Jinnian looked at Wanyan. In the end, he was kind to him in his previous life. Even if he cut off his imperial examination road and went to Nanyu County, he also benefited the people and accomplished something beautiful.

In this life, if we can work together, it is also a good thing to go hand in hand.

"Thank him." Zhou Jinnian replied concisely but truthfully.

Xie Yao nodded, as if it really made sense. He recalled Guo Tao's words at the dinner, and he had to talk about Concubine Ying again, "Huang Dunyi is a minister, and it is inevitable to cherish the pillars. This Concubine Ying? Did you receive her olive branch?"

Zhou Jinnian immediately shook his head, "No."

Neither of them has a clue, and they don't understand what a concubine, who is being favored, is coming to the court to mess with.

The two spoke for a while, both of which were irrelevant speculations, so they went back to their rooms to rest early.

When Zhou Jinnian returned to the room, Xie Ning ordered someone to call hot water and personally helped her husband untie his clothes. After Zhou Jinnian was soaking in the hot water, he walked around behind him and helped Zhou Jinnian squeeze his shoulders.

"Come for the husband's arms." Zhou Jinnian was a little drunkard, opened his arms and asked Xie Ning to go down into the tub.

Xie Ning pressed his temples and refused: "I'm all done, don't worry about it."

"Huh..." Zhou Jinnian laughed twice, "I said you are so well-behaved today, and you know to press your shoulders for your husband..."

Xie Ning couldn't help but lifted Jinnian's chin, leaned over and kissed him, "Be quiet, you can talk more than our son."

Zhou Jinnian didn't explain that he was not drunk at all.

After he finished taking a shower, the two went back to bed, Zhou Jinnian pressed her husband, and hummed dumbly, "Ning Lang, give birth to a younger sister for my son."

Xie Ning didn't want to deal with drunks. The husband would be very tired for a long time, so he pushed Zhou Jinnian.

Zhou Jinnian rushed forward again, softly grinding hard.

During the time, Xie Ning was also emotional, so she had to take the initiative, without noticing it, Zhou Jinnian pretended to be drunk and deceived him.

A few days later, Zhou Jinnian brought a stone to pay a courtesy to visit Huang Shilang.

The golden plaque of the Red Gate of the Yellow Mansion is magnificent and solemn.

As soon as the gatekeeper heard that Zhou Jinnian was a third-grade official, he saluted and said: "The grown-up will come in later, the younger one will go in and pass the message."

Zhou Jinnian led the stone to stand at the gate of Zhou Mansion. After a short while, someone came, who was the steward of the Huang Mansion. "But Lord Minister Zhou?"

Stone replied: "It's my grown-up."

The butler saluted them respectfully, but he drove them away, "Master Zhou, Haihan, my master had already ordered that if Master Zhou came to visit, give you this letter, but the meeting is not yet time."

After eating closed doors, Zhou Jinnian took the letter and took a stone to drive home.

Stone walked and became angry, "Who is this to look down on? The door is not allowed to enter."

Zhou Jinnian was very happy.

The stone couldn't figure it out, and followed the master back.

Zhou Jinnian went back to the study to read the letter. As he expected, Huang Dunyi was a friend but not an enemy, and he had expected Zhou Jinnian to come to see him.

The letter reads: "Go to the mine field first before you can make the world safe."

Zhou Jinnian shook his head while burning the letter.

Why did he get into the eyes of these people when he was a young man who had become an official. I am grateful for Huang Dunyi's kindness of knowledge and encounters, and he will repay him in Zhou Ji years.

After completely settled down, Zhou Jinnian made money for the treasury, and Xie Ning made money for the family.

Xie Ning opened a fishery in Liangzhou Prefecture, which faces south of the capital, and the stewards hired are all Liangzhou natives. In the Qing Dynasty, the local people did not move. After the ancestors took root in one place for generations, the descendants basically did not move, so they were not afraid of deceiving business.

With financial support, a full-fish banquet was opened in Liangzhou Prefecture in one go, and at the same time, a full-fish banquet was opened at the feet of the emperor in Beijing.

This strange way of eating, the fragrant grilled fish, has been booming in the capital for a month, and the seats are full every day. Xie Ning couldn't help sighing, at the feet of the emperor, there are as many officials and nobles as crucian carp who crosses the river.

It is worth mentioning that the head chefs of the Imperial Kitchen are all appointed to learn cooking.

Business is booming, and his son's career is smooth. The old couple wakes up with a smile every day. Under such a mood, an old friend comes outside Zhoufumen.

After receiving the announcement from the new servant Qiurui, Lin Jin quickly walked towards the gate, and when he reached the gate, he was shocked.

Outside were two infantrymen and a leader, with Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Feng and a strange woman, standing outside the gate of Zhou's mansion!

The infantry leader saluted, "But at the House of Minister Zhou Shi Lang?"

When Lin Jin nodded, he continued: "I was waiting to **** Xie's family to Beijing, and I was blocked on the road. These three have to follow to find relatives. Master Xie said that he is in-laws, so we escorted them together, old man. The wife is not in good health, and it took half a month to delay. It is not that she has worked so hard, or she is afraid of making mistakes, and it is difficult to explain to the adults..."

Lin Jin followed his son to Beijing from the Seventh-Rank Zhima Officer. How could he not understand the meaning of these words, so he immediately took out the ingot and sent off the three infantrymen.

He was not shabby, and he didn't humiliate his son, but he was not fat. The infantry leader nodded and retreated contentedly.

Lin Jin was really disgusting in her heart, but it was her mother-in-law who could only welcome her in the door first and wait for her husband to return before resettling her.

Lin Jin's disgusting is not her mother-in-law, but Saturday Feng is disgusting! A big man! A man in charge! Regardless of the old mother's life, he just went along for two months to bring him to Beijing, holding the old mother as the trump card, and forcing his husband Wednesday Feng to take in their family!

Lin Jin placed the person in the main hall, and went back to the room with annoyance. As soon as he sat down, another servant came to report.

"Mrs. Jin, let the fire in the hall, saying that there is no oil and water all the way, let..."

"Oh... let the chef cook the noodles for three nights and serve it, more and more meat."

"Yes."

Lin Jin squeezed the handle of the chair, just eating and drinking, there is no shortage at home. He also heard that his son is now very dignified in front of Sheng Shang, where there are eyes everywhere, hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity, and when the wind blows, he has to take a copy of his son.

He just wronged himself to death, and he didn't dare to call the reputation of unfilial piety and unkindness on him!

Brother Yu was sitting in the study, and his grandfather and grandfather were reading to him, and he began to enlighten.

Brother Yu listened to the excitement in the front hall, and from time to time he used his big eyes to look at the closed windows. He was curious, is there someone at home?

"Ahem!" Master Sun gave a small warning.

Brother Yu hurriedly sat upright, put his two little hands on the small table obediently, obediently looking at the grandson.

Fortunately, Sun Fuzi was able to trap Yu brother, until Xie Ning came back, Sun Fuzi left.

Xie Ning went to the lobby with Brother Yu and Dad Weifeng, and asked Luhe to call his father. The family said it well.

Wei Feng was originally a filial son, and now his family is living well, how could he watch the old mother so sloppy?

When the old mother was about to be placed in the main room of the West Wing, the side room was divided into a room. I made it clear and let my sixth brother live there!

Zhou Feng said this: "The sixth brother came to Beijing to visit the third brother. The third brother is welcome to live there, but the reputation of the sixth brother should not be damaged. It is good to find a place to move in within ten days. Don't worry."

But it's really not that he looks down on poor relatives, he really can't get around, his sixth brother is too cruel, he won't stay close if he doesn't want to be close!

On Saturday, Feng sneered in his heart, not caring, turned his head and looked at Zhou Mansion, Jinsi Nanmu, tusk! What a style!

"San'er, my dear son, I can finally see my son again!" The old lady Zhou is also selfish, or would she be willing to suffer this sin and come all the way to the capital?

"Mom, I will follow my three sons. I was the most filial son when I was a child. Do you remember San'er? When you were a kid, you got lost in the fields. Lie on my mother's back..."

The more Mrs. Zhou talked, the more excited she became, and her whole body was a little bit dazed.

"The mountain collapsed in the back of Dajing Village. I don’t know where the water flooded the house. Don’t be afraid of fame. We are far away in the capital. No one in Dajing Village knows..."

"Mother..." Wednesday Feng shook his hands to help the old mother.

The old lady Zhou was half crazy and half crazy, showing her true form, "Where is my second grandson? Does he want to recognize my milk? No way! He is now the emperor's minister! He..."

"Mother!" Wednesday Feng shook the old lady Zhou severely.

The old lady Zhou was yelled and flinched again. The thin, thin old lady looked aggrieved, "Well, my second grandson is promising."

"Hey..." Wednesday Feng ordered people to clean up the room and personally helped the old mother to rest.

Xie Ning and Lin Jin looked at each other, very helpless, the two of them came out of the hall tacitly and found a room with no one to talk.

Brother Yu was led by Aunt Luhe and played outside the door.

Lin Jin shook her head, "Mother, how can she regret it? If she is unhappy, the threat is on her lips. Our family has just come to Beijing to take root. My son has just been promoted and has not yet made achievements to consolidate his position..."

Xie Ning didn't see the infantry who sent the old lady Zhou, so she asked strangely: "How did they find it?"

"I heard the officials say that it was the father-in-law who went to Beijing and was blocked by them."

"My father?" I don't know why, Xie Ning immediately thought of the limericks, "No right... I entered Beijing this year, busy with business, and disconnected from my fourth uncle."

Xie Ning analyzed it in detail: "So how did Uncle Six and Grandma learn that they went to Beijing to become an official in the same year?"

"Someone is tricking in the dark!" Xie Ning said in a sure tone, turning to face Lin Jin, "Father, think about it carefully. I just went to Beijing to become an official in this year, and my fourth uncle never got any news. My father came to the capital because of my elder brother, and My father has moved to the capital city of Yuezhou a long time ago, and has no connection with Dajing Village! This man in the dark has been staring at Shannian!"

Lin Jin's scalp numb, "Ninglang, don't you want to scare me...who is killing my son?"

"Father, you arrange for someone to stare at Uncle Six in secret, I'll check!"

Lin Jin nodded repeatedly, "Ninglang, you are Vanves most, you must protect my son from safety..."

Xie Ning turned his head to look at the portrait hanging in the study, and went with him.

"Don't worry, dad, big and small have experienced it, my husband is down-to-earth and works hard, no one can hurt him!"

Lin Jin looked at Jifulang, Xie Ning stood in the backlit of the study, her whole person was shrouded in strong light, and even the shadow was persevering.

Zhou Jinnian rode his horse back to the mansion, and after turning over and dismounting, he gave the rein in his hand to the stone, and the stone led the horse to the back.

Zhou Jinnian entered the gate and saw two live babies, one big and one small, squatting.

"Father..." Brother Yu whispered, like a little thief, shouting to his father with an agitated voice.

Zhou Jinnian bent his mouth, not knowing what tricks Fulang and his son were playing again, but he didn't delay him holding his son in his arms.

Xie Ning took Zhou Jinnian and walked the East Corridor, and went around to the study.

Mr. Zhou, the head of the household department, didn't dare to step forward, so why was Ning Lang's face so serious? He dignifiedly talked about the Minister of the Third Grade, he would not be implicated by his son again, and he was abused by the husband's family, right?

Zhou Jinnian was a little nervous, looking down at his son in his arms, Brother Yu also pressed his small mouth tightly, and his big eyes looked around vigilantly.

The key is to enter the study, his husband immediately closed the study door, is this the family law?

"Ning Lang?" Zhou Jinnian prepared himself psychologically.

Xie Ning turned around with an angry face, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Jinnian opened his eyes and his mind was stunned.

"When will you still want to hide from me?" Xie Ning died anxiously. "Has that person ever looked for you directly?"

"Who?" Zhou Jinnian hugged his son and turned to look for a chair, and he was relieved. As soon as the second question came out, he knew he was alive.

"Our enemy."

Zhou Jinnian paused and stopped looking for a chair. He hugged his son and walked back to Xie Ning. He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Xie Ning's forehead, "No fever."

Xie Ning rolled her eyes, "Sixth Uncle is already living in our house with the bride and grandma. I suspect it has something to do with the man from the limerick..."

Xie Ning told Zhou Jinnian about the afternoon's analysis.

The foreign businessman who is connected with Satsufon and spread the rumors? Zhou Jinnian guessed it right away, "Zhu Hou, the father of Zhu Dachang."

Xie Ning called Luhe to take Brother Yu away.

Zhou Jinnian thought quietly for a moment, "It seems that Zhu Hou can't figure it out."

Xie Ning doesn't care about these, but only cares about whether the surname Zhu will hurt Shannian. "Is he a very strong background?"

"Huh? You reminded me." Zhou Jinnian calmed down, "He used to be on duty at the Ministry of Households, and now I am also at the Ministry of Households, so I have to check his old accounts."

Zhou Jinnian made a plan and stood up and said: "I will meet Liu Shu, and I will give him food and drink in the future, but I will send him out of the house to find a house in the daytime, and wait for him to find Zhu Hou to give him an idea!"

"Okay." Xie Ning also stood up, went to sit down at the desk, and wrote to the fourth uncle who was far away in Qingshui Town.

On Saturday Feng stayed in Zhou's house for the time being, but as soon as the day came, his third brother took his servants and took him and his new wife out of the house, asking him to find a house, and the old mother stayed in the house.

Zhou Jinnian went home every night and listened to secret reports from his servants. His sixth uncle wandered outside the city every day, and no suspicious people appeared by his side.

After five or six days, the first snow fell in the capital.

On this day, Zhou Ji rested in New Year's Eve and embraced Brother Yu to watch the snow in the corridor of the inner courtyard. Xie Ning went out to the restaurant and agreed to come back to buy brother Yu to buy sweet-stir-fried chestnuts.

Brother Yu was wrapped tightly, with a small cloak added to his body, he tore off the cotton glove of his right hand, and stretched his little arm to the porch to catch the snowflakes.

The first snow was very thin, fell on the hands lightly, and melted immediately.

Brother Yu retracted his little hand, kicked his foot to the ground, "Go down..."

Zhou Jinnian bent over and put him on the ground. Brother Yu couldn't wait to raise his feet to go down to the inner courtyard.

Zhou Jinnian grabbed the hat of his son's little cloak, "Wait a moment."

Brother Yu stood still with a small mouth pouting, was put on a hat and cotton gloves, and was led by his father to step on the snow.

Brother Yu's nose and eyes are very father-like, just a small mouth like Xie Ning, moderately thick, and the others are small, so he always looks fleshy.

The snow covered the ground in a thin layer, and it almost melted when it hit the ground, so the ground was a little moist, but Yu brother was very happy to be able to step on it.

Zhou Jinnian looked down at his son, watching his little man rubbing on the ground with his white soap boots. Brother Yu stared at the feet intently, and slipped a bit inadvertently, but was quickly picked up by his father without falling.

"Hahaha..." The little man concealed his embarrassment with a silly smile.

Zhou Jinnian held him back down the corridor, "Come back tomorrow when the snow is thick."

"Will there be snowflakes tomorrow?" Brother Yu stood still, tucked his father's thighs in cotton gloves with two claws.

Zhou Jinnian patted the little drops of water on his son's body. He didn't answer yet. His son asked again, "Will there be snowflakes every day from now on?"

Zhou Jinnian stretched out his hand to lead Yu brother, wanting to go back indoors to have a fire.

Brother Yu shrank his hands and whispered, "Why does this house have snowflakes?"

Zhou Jinnian stretched out his hand again, this time holding his son's small wrist.

Brother Yu flicked and flicked his small arms, and then walked a few steps under the eaves of the corridor, "Why?"

"Hiss?" Zhou Jinnian wondered, why did Ning Lang inherit his son's actions by making his little temperamental?

Brother Yu focused on the bricks in the inner courtyard, and was picked up by his father and carried away.

"Ahhhhh..." Brother Yu yelled, "No!"

After returning to the room to cook, Yu brother twisted his body and was about to go out, asking grandpa to coax him back with roasted sweet potatoes.

Zhou Jinnian picked up his teacup and chuckled lightly.

"Master Nian, someone has come to deliver the letter, saying that you know who delivered it after reading it." Shitou took a letter and hurried over.

Zhou Jinnian took the letter to the study room, and after entering the door, he opened the letter.

Zhou Jinnian is too familiar with the content of this letter, Qu Yingying's father Qu Dong handed Zhou Jinnian an olive branch!

Zhou Jinnian burned the letter directly, intending not to see it.

This Qu Yingying is really interesting. The Qu family is also a merchant. Even if there is a concubine in the family, why do you think that Zhou Ji Nian will be in the bag?

Zhou Jinnian thought he would not respond, and Qu Yingying gave up, but that was not the case.

In the magnificent palace, Emperor Qingyuan on the dragon seat finished approving the zhezi, picked up the heater on the side and held it in his hand, and asked the **** beside him, "What time is it?"

"It's been three quarters since I returned to the emperor."

Emperor Qingyuan didn't speak any more, holding the stove and continuing to read the folds.

The chief **** waited respectfully, and said with concern: "The emperor should have a rest, the snow fell in front of you, you coughed, the minion courageously ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body."

Emperor Qingyuan was still ignorant, and the **** did not dare to say more.

Emperor Qingyuan took the pen and hooked it on the zipper. After closing it, he said, "Let’s rest."

"Eh!" The **** stepped forward to help the emperor, and took his own initiative to take Emperor Qingyuan to the palace of the Ying concubine.

Emperor Qingyuan glanced at the chief eunuch, stood in the yard watching the snow, and did not move.

The great **** was so scared that he bowed his waist. At this time, the sound of the piano came from the room. The tone was sincere and lingering, which evoked the love that Qingyuan had placed in the empress when he was young.

Emperor Qingyuan stepped into the Yingfei Palace.

Qu Yingying was wearing a white-haired cloak, her black soft hair was on her right shoulder, and she didn't use any powder or daisies. She was still called Harem Sanqian with no color.

Seeing Emperor Qingyuan, Qu Yingying opened her eyes wide, as if a little deer was frightened.

Emperor Qingyuan put one hand behind him, and the other nodded forward, letting Qu Yingying continue.

Think yoyo, hate yoyo. Only West Lake Mingyueqiu. Knowing people as promised.

When the sound of the piano fell, Qu Yingying stood up and saluted Emperor Qingyuan.

Emperor Qingyuan stretched out his hand, Qu Yingying stood up to hold the emperor, and the two went inside together.

Emperor Qingyuan sat down and asked, "Long Xiangsi, long Xiangshou. Who is Aifei playing for?"

Emperor Qingyuan didn't turn over the sign tonight, so Concubine Ying could not have played this song for him.

Qu Yingying smiled openly, opened her lips lightly, and said softly: "The day before Laba, my cousin Sister Lan went to the palace to see her concubine, and told her to find out about her children’s love. Every time she thought about it, she felt funny. And again. Because I haven't seen the emperor for two days, I can't sleep to play it to myself."

Emperor Qingyuan closed his eyes, although it was not obvious on the face, but he was in a much better mood. Concubine Ying is beautiful, but what's more valuable is her knowledge and understanding.

He is old, and with Concubine Ying, he can always feel that he is still young.

Emperor Qingyuan stretched out his hand to hold Qu Yingying, and was immediately held by Qu Yingying.

Emperor Qingyuan then looked at Qu Yingying and asked casually: "Tell me about sister Lan's children's love."

Qu Yingying held Emperor Qingyuan’s hand in her arms, relying on Emperor Qingyuan, "Sister Lan has promised your minister, but there is already a room in the house. It’s a pity that for so many years, only I gave birth to a little brother. Sister Lan really likes them, and she said that she would be willing to serve as a concubine..."

Qu Yingying said, shaking her shoulders and laughing.

Emperor Qingyuan hooked her hand before she stopped laughing and explained: "Sister Lan's thoughts made the concubine think of herself. The emperor is my hero. Even if it is a concubine, the concubine must always be with the emperor."

Qu Yingying is very smart. She first stood from the perspective of her cousin, and then mentioned the offspring that the royal family paid the most attention to.

Who is Emperor Qingyuan? The entire Daqing dynasty belonged to him. Sister Lan likes a person. Using the Qingyuan Emperor's idea, you can get it if you like it!

"Which minister is so fond of the boudoir daughter's family?" Qing Yuan asked lightly.

Qu Yingying's attitude is generous, "Hubei Zhou Shi Lang."

Emperor Qingyuan nodded, did not speak any more, Qu Yingying also accepted as soon as he was good, and waited for Emperor Qingyuan to go to bed with soft words.

On the second day, everything was the same as before, but when he was about to retreat, Emperor Qingyuan pointed to Zhou Jinian: "Zhou Shilang."

Zhou Jinnian calmly went out, "Weichen is here."

"How old is Shi Lang Zhou?"

The court was quiet, but I could feel that all the ministers were curious, why did the emperor ask this?

Zhou Jinnian bent over and answered truthfully: "Weichen has seven out of twenty this year."

"How many family members are?"

There was a noise from someone above the hall, or inhalation, or a sound made by body movements and the friction of the sleeves.

Zhou Jinnian had already guessed a little bit, but still answered truthfully, "Fu Lang alone."

"Yeah." Emperor Qingyuan stopped asking questions, and the **** shouted in a sharp voice: "If something happens, retreat if nothing happens! To~"

When Emperor Qingyuan left, the courtiers drew out of the hall sparsely, and all those who knew Zhou Jinnian leaned forward to ask questions.

Obviously, the question of Emperor Qingyuan meant marriage! Even if it is not a royal princess, it must be a relative of the emperor, Zhou Jinnian is too sacred!

Huang Dunyi followed Yin Xiang at the end, looking at Zhou Jinnian's back, and touching his beard, it was a sweet pastry in the end.

At that time, he was still a stone, and he couldn't pry him, but now it was gold, and he didn't believe that anyone could pry Zhou Jinnian.
