Chapter 3192 Summoned

Zhou Man sat on the edge of the couch and beckoned to her, "Mingda and I brought you something back, but it will take a few days to get to the capital. Then you can go to my house to get it."

Chang Yu walked over and sat beside her, sighing and nodding, "Okay."

Zhou Man stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "Don't be too sad, do you want to preside over the Wei residence?"

Chang Yu nodded, "Mother-in-law and concubine are both sad, and now I am in charge."

She sighed and said, "Actually, everyone in the family is already mentally prepared, and I'm not going to lie to you. You said earlier that father-in-law was not in good health, and it was already at the end of the fight. At that time, the family started to prepare, but after three years, we I think it might be longer, but he fell ill a year ago, and it has been more than half a year now. His health is good and bad, he can handle official business when it is good, and he can't even get out of bed when it is bad, so what should be done at home All preparations are made."

"But I'm prepared, but I still can't accept it in my heart." Chang Yu felt that he was fine. Although he was a little sad, he could already accept it, but Wei Yu and Mrs. Wei obviously couldn't.

Chang Yu held Zhou Man's hand tightly, stared at her and asked, "Man Bao, is his illness really cured?"

Zhou Man analyzed the effect of the medicinal liquid on Wei Zhi's pulse, and then shook his head, "Our doctor has diseases that can be cured, but there are also diseases that cannot be cured. Lord Wei is the one that cannot be cured now, let alone us. , is an immortal, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it."

She said: "Three years ago, if Lord Wei would listen to me, put aside his business affairs, and could relax and take care of his body, he might have been delayed for five, six, seven or eight years, but he has been busy with state affairs for the past three years and exhausted his energy. , the loss is huge, even if I have the art of returning to the sky, I can't save it."

Chang Yu was silent for a while, "I will have to work with you in the next few days. You have just returned to Beijing, and you must be tired. You should rest now. By the way, do you want to send someone back to your house to fetch some things? I'm afraid you won't need it. If you are used to the things here, or if you are lacking, tell me, and I will let someone open a warehouse for you to add."

Zhou Man was amazed, "Oh my God, Chang Yu, you are so thoughtful."

Chang Yu: "...I've become a mother."

"Then you can help me get the cake, she knows what to bring."

Chang Yu responded and sent someone to call Xibing in Zhou's house.

Mr. Wei can't be separated from anyone here, and Zhou Man has to take time to enter the palace to answer, so he can't go home basically, so although Zhou Man has gone home, the Zhou family has not seen Zhou Man.

On the fourth day of Wei Zhixingzhen, the other two sons of the Wei family arrived with their wives and children. At the same time, Zhou Lizhong also went to Beijing.

As soon as he entered Beijing, he was taken to the palace, and he never returned home.

He stood nervously in front of the Taiji Hall, stroked his sleeves, trying to smooth out the wrinkles. It's just that he has been on the road for the past few days, and he has been wearing this clothes for three days.

Zhou Lizhong felt a little regretful in his heart. After entering Beijing, he should have asked to go home to wash up and change his clothes. He remembered that when his aunt came back from a business trip, as long as it was not an urgent errand, she would wash up before entering the palace...

Zhou Lizhong was bowing his head in remorse when he suddenly heard a chamberlain remind him in a low voice, "Master Zhou is here."

Zhou Lizhong immediately turned his head and looked down, and saw in the distance, the little aunt was walking up the steps with her official robe, and the sun shone on her, making her whole body glow, and even the sun was broken into pieces.

Zhou Man walked up the steps, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhou Lizhong who was waiting at the door. He smiled and asked, "When did you enter Beijing?"

Zhou Li was very secure in his heart, exhaled and said, "An hour ago? I was brought into the palace as soon as I entered Beijing."

Zhou Lizhong had never entered the palace, so he was so nervous from start to finish that he couldn't notice the passage of time.

Zhou Man nodded and said to the servant, "Please also report to Your Majesty that we are here."

After the waiter came in, he hurried in to report. After a while, Gu Zhong came out in person, bowed and smiled and said, "Master Zhou, Your Majesty invites the two of you in."

Zhou Man followed Zhou Lizhong and asked Gu Zhong in a low voice, "Are there many people in the room?"

Gu Zhong also lowered his voice, "Everyone is here."

Zhou Man knew what he had in mind, and he turned back and said to Zhou Li: "I will answer whatever Your Majesty asks in a while, listen more and talk less."

Zhou Lizhong: "Yes."

The emperor is holding a small court meeting, so the important ministers in the court are all there, and the discussion has just come to an end.

Zhou Man led Zhou Lizhong to meet the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Be flat."

"You are Zhou Lizhong? Raise your head and let me take a look."

He looked at Zhou Lizhong carefully. Although he was a little dark, he was very energetic. His face was angular and handsome.

He looked at Zhou Lizhong, then turned his head to look aside and couldn't help but raised his head to look at Zhou Man, who looked at him curiously, and couldn't help laughing, "There are still similarities between your aunts and nephews, I heard people say, Did your ancestors have very good-looking people?"

Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "My great-grandmother and grandmother?"

The emperor waved his hand and didn't care much about it, but he still liked good-looking people, so he urged Zhou Lizhong, "With your appearance, you can study and study, as long as you can pass the Mingjing test, you will have a bright future in the future."

Seeing the emperor's upright and upright face control, Lord Tang couldn't help coughing heavily.

Zhou Man saw Zhou Lizhong's embarrassment on his face, his face flushed red and he didn't know what to say, so he said on his behalf: "Your Majesty, he has no intention of taking the imperial examination, so don't embarrass him."

"Although reading is good, other professions are not bad. Three hundred and sixty lines of work, you can become a champion, and if you cultivate the land well, can you also contribute to the country and the people?"

The emperor lowered his eyes and thought, "Three hundred and sixty lines to make the champion? These words are quite new."

Didn't you say that?

Which book did she read that?

Zhou Man swallowed his saliva and hurriedly changed the subject: "Your Majesty summoned us for the new rice seed?"

"Yes," the emperor returned to his senses, nodded and said, "This matter is very important. I heard Zhuang Shaofu say that the Zhou family has recorded test data?"

Zhou Li nodded again and again, took out two booklets from his sleeves, two more from his waist, and two more from his boots...

Zhou Man: …

Emperor and ministers: …

Zhou Lizhong held the six books he took out above his head and offered them.

Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to take it and presented it to the emperor.

Zhou Man couldn't hold back, and whispered to Zhou Lizhong, "Why are you stuffed in your boots?"

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Zhou Lizhong whispered: "They said that you can't bring foreign objects into the palace, so I had to carry it on my body."

Everyone: Is it not a foreign object to carry on the body?

The emperor twitched his forehead and began to open the booklet. After a while, he asked, "Which one is the latest?"

Zhou Lizhong hurriedly replied, "The one marked with the number eight."

The emperor pulled it out and asked, "There are only six copies here, why is the number eight marked?"
