Chapter 381
Zhulan, who was being talked about, really wrote a letter to Zhou Shuren, but in a snowy day, the letter could not be delivered, so she had to hold it in her hand.
Day by day passed, and on the twelfth day, Zhou Shuren received Zhulan's letter, several of which arrived together.
Zhulan's first letter was to write about what she had seen and heard along the way, and finally asked Zhou Shuren if he had eaten on time and if he took care of himself.
The second letter said that it was snowing heavily, and the road was not communicated and it was not delivered.
The next few letters wrote about the days of staying in Xizhou City, and also vaguely said that they missed Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren's gloomy face was finally happy, he ate alone for twelve days, and finally went to the main hall for dinner.
Chang Lian's trembling heart felt a little more at ease, these days he really wanted to die, his father was really scary, in his heart he was no longer a stepfather, he was even scarier than a stepfather.
The daughters-in-law also breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the mother-in-law was very good, but now they feel that no one can leave the mother-in-law without this family. The father-in-law really scares them to death these days.
Even Ming Yun, who was the best with his grandfather, didn't dare to join him. Ming Yun felt emotional in his heart. Grandpa only had grandma in his heart!
Zhulan went to the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone who followed the Zhou family knew that Zhulan was no longer at home. Zhou Shuren repaired the dental shop before, and thoughtful people thought that Zhou Shuren was afraid of the tigress at home. I was moved.
Some merchants had their backs to the imperial court. Zhou Shuren was not in the capital, but what he did spread throughout the capital. Zhou Shuren was capable and valued by the emperor, so he was naturally worth wooing.
The beauty trick has been known since ancient times, but it does work.
It's a pity that Zhou Shuren came home on time every day, and finally invited him personally, facing Zhou Shuren's gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak.
Zhou Shuren finally went to the yamen with a smiling face this day. Master Chen and Master He felt that the dark clouds over their heads had finally lifted. They really didn't expect that Master Zhou couldn't do without his wife so much. Others might not know why Master Zhou looked so ugly.
These colleagues know that they can hear Zhou Shuren from time to time asking if there is any letter delivered to the door, and if there is a letter, send it to the Yamen as soon as possible!
Master Chen smiled, "Your siblings have written letters?"
Zhou Shuren never concealed his concern for Zhulan. He wished everyone would know how much he cared about Zhulan. As for his weaknesses, he was really not afraid. He was happy to show his weaknesses. No, he doesn't want to be unloaded and killed.
Zhou Shuren said cheerfully, "I'm relieved if I reply to the letter, otherwise I'll always miss it."
Mr. Chen sighed in his heart, who would have thought that Mr. Zhou, who is outstanding in ability, is still a love interest. He thinks he is good to his wife, but he also has two concubines and a concubine!
After a while, someone sent a post to the door, Zhou Shuren took the post and looked through it. These people really didn't give up, and said with a smile: "I will definitely be there at night."
Mr. Chen and Mr. He looked at each other, there must be a good show tomorrow.
At dinner time, Zhou Shuren didn't come home. Chang Lian sent a boy to the Yamen to find out that Dad went to a restaurant, especially after knowing who invited him. He hadn't been there before, he couldn't tell if he didn't believe his father, but how could his father go?
Chang Lian's scalp was blown, and he knew in his heart that his father was not such a person. His father only had his mother in his eyes, but his legs were more honest than his brain. He didn't feel relieved if he didn't see his mother for himself, so he got on the carriage and said, "Go to the restaurant. .”
I had fantasized about all kinds of possibilities on Changlian Road, and when I got to the entrance of the restaurant, hey, don’t think about it anymore, my father was standing on the stairs on the second floor with a dark face and yelling, “You said to donate 20,000 taels of silver to dig an ice cellar for Lizhou City, I personally used my salary to treat guests to thank you,
Unexpectedly, you guys fooled me, these two women are the 20,000 taels you donated? Can they dig a dozen ice cellars? Can they prevent drought for Lizhou? "
In order to dig a hole, Zhou Shuren paid the bill as soon as he entered the restaurant!
The two merchants in the box were dumbfounded, they obviously didn't say a word, Mr. Zhou lifted the table as soon as he entered the door, then opened the door and scolded them, no, when did they say donate money? Return twenty thousand taels of silver?
Zhou Shu's benevolent face flushed, "I was born in farming and studying. My wife and I have experienced wars and famines. She bore children for me and supported my imperial examination. Without my wife, there would be no Zhou today. Zhou swore that he would only like his wife, Under the guise of donating money, you are actually planning to frame me for breaking my promise, breaking my oath, you guys, you are really deceiving people."
Originally, Zhou Shuren’s reputation among the common people was very high, and the people in the city gave him a thumbs up when they mentioned Zhou Shuren. There were quite a few people who ordered the restaurant to eat. In addition, Zhou Shuren mentioned digging an ice cellar to store ice to prevent drought, and the people who ate were even more excited. up.
The merchants in the box were startled when they heard the angry voice. They had thought that Mr. Zhou would reject women, but they didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would not even give them a chance to speak, and would cheat them when he came up.
They want to explain, but is there any point in explaining? Lizhou City believes that Mr. Chen is lying, but he will not believe that Mr. Zhou will lie!
Zhou Shuren was furious, turned his back to the people and whispered, "20,000 taels, see you at the Yamen tomorrow, otherwise the team rewarded by the emperor will arrive."
This afternoon, he met the official messenger who first reported the news.
The two merchants are stupid, this is clearly defrauding them!
Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, "Dare to send a woman next time."
The rest is up to you to understand.
The two merchants were silent. This one made them miserable before they even opened their mouths. They were really ruthless. They knew that it was not a matter of losing money.
Zhou Shuren is very measured, he is different now than he just came to Lizhou City, his ability has been proven, the emperor will protect him, not to mention the snobbery behind the two will not turn against him for two merchants.
The two people in the box looked at each other, they knew in their hearts that the money had to be donated, this time not only the money was donated, but the above-mentioned explanation had not yet been completed.
Seeing the two nodding, Zhou Shuren turned around and said, "Everyone be quiet, I misheard just now, the two women just now are their girls, it's my fault that I didn't hear clearly, everyone should leave, The donation will be sent to the Yamen tomorrow.”
Zhou Shuren bent his eyes, doing multiple things. In the future, no one will give away a woman, and he will tell the emperor his weakness, and he will get the money for nothing. This time Master Chen doesn’t have to worry about the money. Zhou Shuren thinks it’s worth the trip .
Zhou Shuren went downstairs and saw Chang Lian, squinting his eyes, scared Chang Lian almost to his knees, how well he knows his father, it seems that the old man directed and acted himself, once the old man made a move, all he could do was worship, "Dad , the food at home is ready."
It was rare for Zhou Shuren to smile at Changlian, Zhulan didn't love this kid in vain, and knew to come over to see him for Zhulan, "Yeah."
Chang Lian said to Fen Mo beside him, "Did the old man smile at me just now?"
Woohoo, I really want to cry!
