Chapter 172: True Love

Zhou Shuren nodded, "I only found out today."

It really surprised him, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses!

Zhu Lan was very puzzled, "As a five-rank Tongzhi, he must be quite old. The Lin family is forty-eight, and the eldest daughter is thirty. You know the officials in Pingzhou, how old is Tongzhi?"

She was very curious, the Dong family was born in farming and studying, and they have been nesting in their hometown all the time, how did they have a son-in-law who knew him well?

Zhou Shuren was in Pingzhou, and the number of officials who counted knew it by heart, and they had heard about some things about Mr. Jiang’s family. It is a side branch, who was born in the first batch of imperial examinations after the establishment of the dynasty. I heard Zhao Bo said that it was because his family could not accommodate the side branch, and suppressed Jiang Ming. Ming had a hard time before the imperial examination, his wife passed away under the pressure of the family, leaving only one daughter, and after many years in Pingzhou, he met his step-wife before remarrying."

Zhulan lowered her head and counted her age, "No, Lin's daughter is 30 years old, the new dynasty has only been twelve years old, the first imperial examination was held in the second year, Jiang Ming was dispatched for many years before remarrying, Lin's daughter Don't they only get married in their twenties? Didn't all get married early in ancient times?"

Zhou Shuren didn't betray Guan Zi and said, "Because Jiang Ming married a widow. When Jiang Ming married again, he was from the fifth grade. He left the waiting woman instead of marrying a widow. Pingzhou was quite a sensation at that time. We After hearing about it, I inquired more about it, but I really didn't expect it to be the daughter of the Dong family."

He is really too weak, he doesn't even have anyone to inquire about the news, and his talents are too low, at least he has to raise people to support him.

Zhulan ate a big melon, "This is definitely true love!"

In ancient times, widows remarried at a low level. Since the daughter of the county magistrate at that time married a fifth-rank official, she couldn't think of any reason other than true love!

Zhou Shuren laughed because it was true love, "I had a very good impression of Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming has been assigned to Pingzhou these years, and has been working hard from the bottom to do practical things. Although he has not been promoted and has been suppressed, his reputation has always been good. Later, he was promoted quickly because it was difficult for the Beijing family to become an official, so they gave the remaining resources to Jiang Ming, and that's how they got up."

According to Zhou Shuren's popular science calculations, Zhulan was born at the seventh rank, and now at the fifth rank, without any great achievements, the speed of promotion is indeed good. This is the benefit of the network. Greedy ink credit.

Zhulan felt more and more distressed about Zhou Shuren, who was always at every step. She couldn't help holding Zhou Shuren's hand, and she came back to her senses after a while, "How do you know Jiang Ming so well?"

"Zhao Bo talked a little bit, and I inquired a little bit more. The rest of the guesses are basically the truth."

Zhulan analyzed it, "Jiang Ming is far away from the political circle in the capital, and we don't have to worry too much when we associate with the Dong family."

She was really afraid of getting involved in the battle for the throne and getting involved in the affairs of the whole clan. Thinking about the age of the emperor is not too young, and several sons are also grown up, even if the crown prince is established, he still can't suppress the other princes' desire for the throne , the power alternation is the most chaotic time, and it is also the time when the cannon fodder is the most, she and Zhou Shuren should be extra careful.

Zhou Shuren was also depressed, the timing of the imperial examination was not good, and he was afraid that he would climb up, and the old and new powers would change, which would be more difficult, "The emperor is fifty-two years old, he is not young, and the crown prince is twenty-two years old. "

From the bottom of her heart, Zhulan felt that the emperor was a ruthless man. The empty-headed prince who pretended to be stupid before the age of 30 was still pushed away from the position of the prince, and was even sent back to the residence from the capital. Who would have thought that A fool took control of Wang's residence with a different surname, and rebelled directly when the time came?

Moreover, they only got married after the rebellion, and married the daughter of an ally, and then married a few more, a hero, the founding emperor, a ruthless man, killed many people in the first year, and the only one who paid special attention to the distinction between the concubine and the concubine, all because The emperor was trampled on as a legitimate son, so the current prince is a legitimate son.

Although it seems that the first son is stable at present, who knows that in a few years, there will be five princes in this dynasty, except for the fifth prince, the other four will all be weak crowns.

Zhulan thought of this, "I heard you said that after the establishment of the new dynasty, no children were born in the palace? Nothing will happen here, right?"

Zhou Shuren also felt that there was a problem, but it was a pity that the bottom-level people only knew the news from the public, "Anyway, the emperor has five sons, and it doesn't matter if they are born or not."

On the contrary, he thinks it's better not to give birth, at least don't let a few dragons seize the heir, the capital is more dangerous.

Zhulan suddenly laughed, "You said we've gone far enough to worry about it. We haven't had the provincial exam yet, so we're thinking about the future."

Zhou Shuren put his arms around Zhulan, "Think about it earlier, and know who to hand over to, lest when I enter the power circle, it will be too late if I don't pay attention."

Zhulan couldn't help but think that it would be great if she could travel through time after the change of power, but unfortunately, if it were to be so, the Zhou family would have been bullied by Wang Ru long ago, and there was no such thing as their time travel, "Forget it, luck and misfortune depend on each other, we Just take care of yourself and let nature take its course, don't put shackles on yourself now, it's too tiring."

Zhou Shuren thought about it too, "The son-in-law didn't go to the yamen today, and let Xuemei and his wife come to eat at home tonight. I have something to tell Jiang Sheng."

Zhulan tilted her head, "Good thing?"

"Good thing."

Seeing that Zhou Shuren kept his mouth shut, Zhulan knew that he was about to betray him, so she snorted, "Don't talk about falling down, anyway, I will know sooner or later."
