Chapter 699 701. Injustice

"Lord Zhou, please stop." Chen Zishu quickly followed up with Zhou Shicong.

Zhou Shicong stopped in his tracks and looked at him coldly. Just now in the hall, these people didn't say a word for him, so what's the point of calling him to stop now.

"Master Zhou, you don't just want to back down like this, do you?"

Even an idiot could hear the provocative words, Zhou Shicong sneered, "Master Chen, I just want to come here to add insult to injury."

"How can it be?" Chen Zishu stroked his beard and said, "It's a pity for Mr. Zhou. Although Mr. Zhou is in charge of the household department, he is like a puppet. He can't make decisions by himself. I just feel a little bit unfair." .”

"My lord Chen, what you said is wrong. This official is working for the emperor. This household department is naturally the household department of the Holy One. This official still understands the way of being a minister."

But he was thinking in his heart that this old boy Chen Zishu didn't come to complain, but to step on his feet.

"I don't believe Master Zhou can't see it. Your Majesty thinks that our old officials are a bit of an eyesore." At this moment, the two of them came under the palace wall, and seeing no one around, Chen Zishu dared to speak.

Zhou Zhoucong didn't think Chen Zishu would come to talk to him at this moment, to comfort himself, maybe this old boy still has something bad in his heart.

Chen Zishu didn't care that he didn't talk, "There are fewer and fewer things we can intervene in the court, as long as the Holy One makes a decision in his mind, we can beat him a few times.

If things continue like this, we probably won't have a place for some of us old guys in the court. "

Zhou Shicong, "Chen Shangshu's words are wrong. The nobleman Chen in the palace has the sixth prince with him. As the sixth prince's relative, is Mr. Xu saying this to show off to me?"

But Zhou Shicong thought darkly in his heart, the sixth prince is still in his infancy, and he also wants to see if the Chen family has this fate.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou misunderstood what I meant. There is no need to show off. There is no shortage of princes in the palace. I can only hope that the sixth prince can grow up safely and give my daughter a support. It is already a great blessing.

I called Master Zhou to stop today, just to confide in my heart, this place is really not a place to talk, the cold wind is blowing so hard that this old bone can't bear it, let's find a place to drink a cup of hot tea to warm up . "

Zhou Shicong did not refuse, although the Zhou family had a queen in the middle palace, but the queen only had hatred for their branch and could not be their reliance.

This Chen Zishu's fortune was not bad, his daughter gave birth to the sixth prince for the Holy Majesty in the palace, and his granddaughter Chen Ziyan was named a princess, and went to marry him.

This does not look at the face of the monk, but at the face of the Buddha. Even if the Holy Majesty wanted to use a knife, he would not take this old boy.

The other party is now handing over an olive branch, if he doesn't take it, he will be a little clueless.

The two people here left hand in hand, and Hua Shunming who was in the study had already got the news.

"These people are full of twists and turns. It would be great if they could be used for business." Hua Shunming said while reading the memorial.

"How are the preparations for Marquis Cheng Enhou's wedding going?" Hua Shunming asked suddenly.

Le San replied cautiously, "Return to the Lord, all the necessary etiquette has been completed, and the auspicious date is set in three days."

"So fast?" Hua Shunming stopped writing at this moment, "Remember to remind me to give a reward when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, I felt that something was wrong. Cheng Enhou is my eldest brother-in-law, and the Zhou family has been loyal for several generations. It is a bit slow to give rewards, "Go and tell the queen, three days later, I will go to Chengenhou with her government."

Empress Zhou had already asked for instructions to go back to the manor to attend the wedding after he made the decree to bestow the marriage, and now they are going to the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion together, which can be regarded as a good talk.

Le San quickly responded, but when he delivered the decree in the Queen's Palace, his attitude was more cautious.

When Zhou Shixiong married a wife, everything was done according to the regulations, and the queen sent several female officials to handle it personally. Even if there were no female relatives in the mansion, everything was in order.

The jokes that the various prefectures in central Beijing wanted to see were not seen, but instead they returned with a stomachache from this wedding banquet.

No one expected that for such a wedding banquet, the emperor and empress would bring the two first-born princes to the scene in person.

This can show favor more than a large reward, and it also shows the weight of the Zhou family in the emperor's heart.

Some people even secretly speculated that the emperor placed Zhou Shixiong in such an important position, whether he was already planning to make the eldest son the crown prince.

After all, the eldest prince, the eldest son, has taken over, even if everyone wants to refute, they can't find a reason.

When the others thought about it, they let it go, after all, it didn't have much to do with them.

It's just that the concubines who had princes in the palace broke so many teacups tonight.

&

At the end of the year, there are many auspicious occasions. Jin Qianqian not only married off several close-fitting girls at the same time, but also began to arrange Gu Yi's marriage.

It's just that this is different from the marriages of the girls. Najib didn't ask for anything. Even the dowry was done by Gu Yi as best as he could, taking out all the money he brought out of him.

Jin Qianqian wanted to add something, but Gu Yi refused.

"I know Seventh Sister-in-law loves us, but she doesn't worry about being few but about being uneven. There are so many brothers and relatives here, so we should follow the rules."

If his example starts at the beginning, it will be difficult to handle later.

He is not ignorant of numbers, so naturally he dare not make an inch.

Jin Qianqian is really good at this point now, but she appreciates the other party's kindness.

When it was time to send the betrothal gift, Jin Qianqian still added some, and she couldn't refuse, "This is a little thought from me and your seventh brother. Even if you marry a wife in your hometown, don't we have to follow the gift."

The things are really not very expensive, but they are rare because they were collected by Haimao from various places in the past few years.

Gu Yi was even more grateful in his heart. In the days to come, he would study harder and try to help Gu Wenheng share some of the burden as soon as possible.

And Gu Wenheng also received 20 taels of silver from Beijing a few years ago.

Seeing such a large amount of treasury silver entering the treasury, the people below were shocked.

They only have to pay the money to Shangjing, when can they get the money from above?

But this is the case in reality. Facing the gleaming silver, everyone once suspected that they were dazzled, and some even pinched themselves severely.

Two deputy envoys, Cen Gaosong and Li Mingyun, stood behind Gu Wenheng.

After all the silver was put into the warehouse and the warehouse was locked, I was relieved for a long time.

Cen Gaosong couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Master Gu, the imperial decree says that this batch of money is at your disposal, may I ask what it means?"

After being an official for so many years, the Ministry of Household Affairs would only give out so much silver taels during disaster relief or wars. This was the first time they had encountered such an inexplicable and vague edict without explaining the reason.
