Chapter 927

Zhou Shuren appeared in the morning court today, many officials in the court observed Zhou Shuren calmly, some were not sure if Zhou Shuren was in a hurry.

The emperor saw Zhou Shuren as soon as he sat down. He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Shuren to end his rest early. It seemed that yesterday's excerpt had worked, and Zhou Shuren was afraid that he would not be able to accept it.

The emperor's eyes fell on Zhou Shuren, and all the officials in the court felt that those who had made small moves in the past few days stood quietly, waiting to confirm the truth of the rumors.

When Zhou Shuren heard the emperor calling him, he took a step forward, "My minister sees the emperor."

The emperor asked concerned, "How is Zhou Aiqing?"

Zhou Shuren, "I just got some cold, and I'm already fine."

"That's good. I've been thinking about Aiqing a lot these days, so I'm to blame."

The emperor knew that the game of temptation was over when Zhou Shuren came to court, so he didn't have to hide what happened that day.

Zhou Shuren's eyes almost turned to the sky. The emperor not only teased the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but also planned to stab him in the heart. After today, all the people in the Manchu Dynasty, no, everyone in the capital knew how bad his chess skills are!

The ministers all stretched their necks. They were very curious about what happened that day, and none of them were stupid. One look at the tone of the emperor knew that it was not a reprimand from the rumors.

The emperor was very satisfied with the curiosity of the ministers, "Aiqing lost all morning chess, and left after sweating all over. I should let you stay for a while to sweat before leaving."

Zhou Shuren knew this would happen, he obviously wore too much, he didn't lose chess at all, the emperor didn't show off enough to his son, and he had to let the whole court know, what the emperor said, even if he proved that he was good at chess, the history books I can't even write on it!

Zhou Shuren was dumbfounded, what could he do, he could only admit it, "I will definitely practice chess more."

The emperor was very satisfied to see the faces of the ministers changed, and Zhou Shuren also found some comfort from the expressions of the ministers!

Many ministers in the court want to scold their mothers. This pair of monarchs and ministers has nothing good to do. They have been playing with them these days!

After the morning court, Zhou Shuren followed Lord Xiao, and Xiao Qing couldn't explain it all. He was really surprised that Zhou Shuren left the palace in a daze because he lost badly at chess, "I'm good at chess, I'll teach you a few moves in another day."

Zhou Shuren said with a blank face, "My lord, if you want to say that Xiaguan's chess skills are not bad, do you believe me?"

Xiao Qing didn't really believe it, how could he lose all morning if the chess pieces were good!

Afterwards, anyone who passed by Zhou Shuren would ask about his chess skills.

Zhou Shuren, "..."

In Zhou's house, Zhulan is checking Wu Ming's betrothal gifts. Wu Ming has handed over the betrothal gifts to Zhulan a long time ago. She has already visited Song's house yesterday, and she has chosen a day to bring an official matchmaker. This time, she does not need a matchmaker. Just be a matchmaker and bring the official media.

Wu Ming's betrothal gift list was still a bit thin, Zhulan took Mrs. Song to the storeroom, and selected a few pairs of decorations with good meanings, and the betrothal gift list looked a lot better.

Xuemei sat beside her mother, she still felt that the five hundred taels of silver was hot, "Mother, is it okay to take the five hundred taels of silver?"

Zhulan signaled Mrs. Song to put away the newly written dowry gift form, and then said to the eldest daughter: "Put it away, there will be no more rumors about your father after today."

Xuemei, "Mother, the parents-in-law gave the money to my daughter."

Zhulan smiled, "Your in-laws didn't stay?"

"No, I took it back and gave it to my daughter that day, and I haven't asked about money in the past two days."

Zhulan asked, "What do you mean?"

Xuemei shook her head and said, "My daughter can't take it. Since it's fine to collect the money, my daughter wants to return it to her parents-in-law."

She doesn't want to take it,

This is a lot of money but it is not easy to take. Now she gets along well with her in-laws, but she doesn't want to have conflicts because of the money.

"You have a good idea. Let your parents-in-law arrange the money themselves, so don't interfere."

In order not to take five hundred taels now, and return it twice in the future.

Xuemei leaned against her mother, "It's better to stay close to my parents."

If there is anything, she can discuss it with her mother instead of taking care of it herself. It is much easier than before.

In the household department, Zhou Shuren felt Qiu Yan's enthusiasm, and asked him if he would drink tea, and asked him if the room was too hot and needed to remove the charcoal fire.

Zhou Shuren twitched his lips, "Master Qiu, I'm neither thirsty nor hot, you sit down first."

Qiu Yan, "I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. I've suffered a lot when you're not around."

Zhou Shuren laughed, "I thought you would like it."

Qiu Yan waved his hand, "Don't trick me, I don't like it."

He avoided the Fifth Prince for the past two days, fearing that Mr. Xiao would have thoughts about him!

It was already afternoon when Zhou Shuren saw Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang avoided him, but Zhou Shuren stopped Zhang Yang, "I heard that His Highness has been thinking about you all the time during the days when I was recuperating."

Zhang Yang turned around, and he wanted to strangle Zhou Shuren to death, "Ah, yes, I'm still thinking about visiting your lord."

Zhou Shuren, "Your Highness is worried about my minister, and I am very moved. I will definitely remember His Highness's kindness."

Zhang Yang's complexion changed, what he heard in his ears was that Zhou Shuren was holding grudges, and he wrote down his little actions. Hell, he still has a brain. He didn't directly trouble Zhou Shuren, but just ran around Mr. Qiu. What made him depressed was that, Qiu Yan didn't listen to him, but avoided him!

Zhang Yang looked at Zhou Shuren who turned and left, and thought of being tricked by Zhou Shuren several times, he felt that he could no longer stay in the household department!

Xiao Qing knew the movements of the household department like the palm of his hand, the conversation between Zhou Shuren and Zhang Yang, after he knew about it, he waited for Zhou Shuren to come over, "Today is not like your personality."

Zhou Shuren knew the fifth prince that Lord Shangshu was talking about, and lowered his head, "The fifth prince has been in the household department for some time."

This time Zhang Yang dared to extend his hand to Qiu Yan. He felt that Zhang Yang should not stay in the household department. Some lower-level officials of the household department had already been influenced by Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang's trouble is better to leave as soon as possible.

Xiao Qing also had a headache, the fifth prince is no longer the prince he was when he first came to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and now there are a lot of petty tricks.

Zhou Shuren had cheated Zhang Yang a few times, but this time he didn't come secretly, and told Zhang Yang explicitly that he also wanted Zhang Yang to leave by himself. He thought the emperor was also thinking about it, but there was no suitable reason.

In the Ministry of Rites, Wu Ming sent Master Tao away. He thought it was time to have a good talk with his godfather when he went back tonight.

Gu Zhuomin already knew what happened in the early court today, so he was very speechless to Mr. Zhou, then looked at Wu Ming, "You already knew?"

Wu Ming, "I really don't know."

He was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't lie, he really didn't know that his godfather lost chess!

Gu Zhuomin no longer has any trust in Wu Ming. In his eyes, Wu Ming has deep thoughts at a young age.

Wu Ming spread his hands, "I'm telling the truth, you don't believe me?"

Gu Zhuomin smiled, "I believe it."

Wu Ming, "..."

The expression clearly expressed that he didn't believe him!

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren left the household department, and Wang Jue chased after him, "Don't run away."

Zhou Shuren got into the carriage nimbly for the first time, urging the coachman to leave quickly, Wang Jue jumped angrily when he saw the carriage running away, Zhou Shuren didn't approve his vacation application!
