In the afternoon of that day, Lin Xu, Yueyao, Huo Qingyun, Chen Qingyu and others said goodbye to everyone and headed to Suzhou.
After arriving at Linshan Commercial House, Lin Xu settled down for a while and then went to Zhou Mansion.
Although Zhou Changmin is stranded in the capital, his family is still in Suzhou, and Zhou Kui is still working as a housekeeper. He wants to talk to Zhou Kui to find out the latest trends!
Although Yan Ning also told him some things, the amount of information was too little!
He believed that Zhou Kui definitely knew a lot more than Yan Ning!
Zhou Kui also wanted to talk to Lin Xu about this matter, so as soon as he saw Lin Xu, he pulled Lin Xu into a teahouse, dismissed all the servants, and asked a servant to watch outside.
No one is allowed to come in without his permission!
Because he has won the trust of Zhou Changmin, although Zhou Kui is a housekeeper, he is not an ordinary housekeeper, especially before Zhou Changmin came to Beijing this time, he had made it clear in front of the whole family that during this period
Internally, all matters at home, big or small, must be discussed with Zhou Kui. Without Zhou Kui's consent, no one can do anything without permission!
In a sense, Zhou Kui has now become the temporary head of the Zhou family in Jiangsu!
"Brother Zhou, I heard that Mr. Zhou will be appointed as the Minister of Etiquette soon?"
Lin Xu and Zhou Kui were old acquaintances, so they didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point!
"Alas! This is not done yet!"
Zhou Kui sighed and said worriedly.
"What's going on?"
"If the matter of converting rice to mulberry hadn't happened, then my husband would be the new minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. Although I don't dare to say it's a certainty, it would be 100% sure! However, just because of the sudden change of rice to mulberry, my husband
He also disagreed with the implementation of this policy, so he was scolded by the emperor and used two very unpleasant words to evaluate my master!"
"Which two words?"
"Slippery!"
Lin Xu smiled faintly, thinking that the current emperor has a sharp vision and his evaluation is very accurate. Zhou Changmin's approach is indeed very cunning!
"If my master hadn't brought the chess and the new spinning wheel invented by you, sir, to the emperor, I'm afraid my master's black gauze hat would have been lost! Now, the emperor has retained my rank, but deprived him of his actual duties and made him wait.
Arrangements for the next step! So, my master will stay in the capital for the time being!"
Having said this, Zhou Kui bowed to Lin Xu and said, "My master also sent me a secret message asking me to thank you sir on his behalf!"
"Master Zhou, you're welcome!"
Lin Xu also returned the gift with his hand. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. Yan Ning said that it was very possible for Zhou Changmin to win the position of Minister of Rites, but judging from Zhou Kui's tone, it seemed that it was still very difficult!
So, who of the two is more reliable?
Due to limited information, Lin Xu was naturally unable to judge!
However, it does not matter to him whether Zhou Changmin can successfully win the position of Minister of Rites. He is more concerned about who will take charge of Jiangsu's government affairs after Zhou Changmin leaves office, and whether the policy of changing rice to mulberry will matter.
How to implement it!
So, he asked: "So, who will handle these government affairs in Jiangsu in the future?"
"The Emperor has decreed that the Chief Envoy Liang Zhengxin and Mr. Liang will be in charge of Jiangsu's government affairs for the time being."
Zhou Kui said.
"Um......"
Lin Xu nodded. Liang Zhengxin was the chief envoy of Jiangsu. He was originally the number two figure in Jiangsu Province under Zhou Changmin. After Zhou Changmin resigned, it was natural for Liang Zhengxin to take charge of the work!
However, he still has a question!
"Brother Zhou means that Mr. Liang will temporarily handle Jiangsu government affairs as the chief envoy?" This chapter has been completed!
