After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 892 The Younger Sister Gets Married [4]

Grandma Qin glanced back at him and said disapprovingly, "How old are you? Why are you still fussing over the little mistakes of the two younger generation? Alright, go back to sleep early. We all have to get up in the middle of the night tonight."

After saying that, he went back to his room and closed the door, preparing to explain the details of his wedding night to his daughter.

Uncle Qin: "..."

Ugh, I'm so angry I could jump up and down!
Aunt Qin reached out and pulled him into the house, glaring at him and saying, "Shut up, turn off the lights and go to sleep."

If you don't sleep, how can your mother-in-law have the nerve to talk to your sister-in-law about that kind of thing?

……

At the Guan family home, Old Madam Guan also handed Guan the clerk several picture albums, saying, "These were collected by your grandmother. The paintings are so lifelike and vivid. With your brain, you'll definitely be able to learn them at a glance... If you really can't, go find Old Steward Guan and have him explain them to you in detail."

Old Guan, the steward, and a group of servants were transferred to Taifeng Town to help.

Even the usually composed clerk blushed slightly upon hearing this, and said with a helpless smile, "Grandmother, I am over thirty, no longer a teenager."

Old Madam Guan gave him a disdainful look: "You actually know you're getting old?"

She added, "Back then, your relationship with Kong was as innocent as boiled vegetables. Grandmother was just afraid that you wouldn't understand and would embarrass yourself in front of the new bride."

"Grandmother, I will take good care of them, please don't worry about these things." Clerk Guan quickly admitted defeat, took the books and went back to his room.

Madam Guan asked, "Is that enough? If not, Grandmother has more here."

"..." Clerk Guan turned back: "Where are the rest? Give them to me, Grandmother."

Madam Guan's eyes changed; they gleamed, "I knew you were a heartless and unsavory fellow."

Madam Guan pointed to a small box: "It's all inside, take it with you."

Clerk Guan: "..."

The old lady is really something, she bought so much.

After stuffing all the booklets he was carrying into the box, Guan, the clerk, left with the box, saying, "Grandmother, please don't buy these kinds of picture books again."

"Pedantic," Old Madam Guan said, still finding fault with him.

The clerk sighed, told her to rest early, and then went back to her room.

Before going to bed, Guan, the scribe, flipped through the book... The painting skills were indeed excellent.

He quickly put it down, otherwise he would have turned into a teenage boy if he continued watching.

……

On the 25th, both the Qin and Guan families went to bed early to prepare for the auspicious day the next day.

But the students were in a terrible situation. They started learning how to do the work early on the 25th and were busy until night.

The people at the restaurant and Lü's Inn also told them, "We'll be working all night tonight, making fried food and other dishes for the banquet... Don't worry, there will be another meal at midnight."

The students were stunned, then they exploded: "Is this about getting food? This is about not sleeping for a whole day and night!"

"We want to sleep."

"Yes, if we don't sleep, where will we get the energy to greet guests, serve food, and clean tomorrow?!"

The manager of Tianbao Restaurant said, "Preparing a banquet requires two days and one night of non-sleep work. Did nobody tell you that?"

This?
Si Pei choked and called out to Zhou Rong, "Brother Zhou, you are now in charge of the student team, are you aware of this matter?"

Zhou Rong shook his head: "I haven't heard of that... but in the past, when my family held a big banquet, the servants would work all night long."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Si Pei tapped her finger on the table. "But we are scholars with official titles, not slaves!"

Oh, you're mistaken, child.

Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and serve the emperor.

You are nothing but servants of the royal family. When you become officials in the future, not only will you be busy working through the night, but when disaster strikes, you will also have to go out for disaster relief for days and nights without sleep.

“Brother Pei, don’t worry. Fellow students, don’t worry either. I’ll go and ask our teacher and grandmaster for their guidance.” Zhou Rong added, “I promise that I will make sure that all of you have a chance to rest.”

"Brother Zhou, hurry up!" Si Pei urged, and the other students also urged him on.

Zhou Rong went to the guest courtyard to find Elder Qiong and Elder Xun.

The two elders had already gone to sleep, but they got up again, wanting to hear what he had to say.

After explaining the situation, Zhou Rong concluded, "I think we should take turns resting, otherwise we might not have the energy to help with the work tomorrow."

Old Qiong's brows furrowed so deeply they almost formed a "川" shape.

Old Xun also had a look on his face that said, "You're not very bright."

Zhou Rong's heart skipped a beat... What's going on? Did I work hard for nothing again?!
"Master, Grandmaster, is there something wrong with my method?" Zhou Rong humbly asked for advice, but was scolded by Qiong Lao.

"You even have to ask others whether your methods are appropriate. How can you be a local official in the future? When you encounter problems, do you only ask others for advice? By the time you come back after asking others, how far will things have developed? If it involves lives, I'm afraid all the people under your jurisdiction will die!"

After Qiong Lao finished scolding, Xun Lao said with a grin, "Zhou Rongwa, do you know that around dusk, Ying Zilin started having his students go to sleep in shifts?"

This?
"I understand now. I was too slow to make arrangements in time. Please forgive me, Master and Grandmaster," Zhou Rong admitted his mistake.

Qiong Lao looked at him, feeling a little annoyed... If Zhou Rong could be more decisive in his actions than in admitting his mistakes, he wouldn't keep going around in circles.

"You are their leader, so you can handle these small matters yourself. There's no need to ask us." Old Qiong was worried that Zhou Rong might cause some big problems by not asking any questions, so he instructed him with some concern: "When something happens, first assess the risks in your mind. If the risks are small and controllable, then do it directly. If they are uncontrollable and dangerous, then ask us."

"Yes, student understands. Thank you for your guidance, sir and grandmaster." Zhou Rong took his leave.

Before leaving, he looked at the two elders with a look of filial piety, which made Elder Qiong even more agitated.

Zhou Rong returned to the kitchen courtyard, relayed Qiong Lao and Xun Lao's intentions, and finally said, "Divide into three groups. The first group should go to sleep now; the second group should go to sleep after midnight; and the third group should go to sleep before dawn and get up at 9 am. This way, everyone can rest and it won't delay tomorrow's work."

Although the students didn't want to continue working, this arrangement was much better than working all night.

"That's wonderful, thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou." The students bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Zhou Rong returned the greeting humbly, but inwardly he was a little smug... Ha, did he really think he didn't know about Ying Zilin's arrangements?
He has an inside man there, so he knows everything.

He knew, however, that students like Si Pei, whose families were better than his, would not listen to his arrangements from the beginning and would definitely cause trouble.

He delayed making any arrangements, letting Si Pei and the others cause trouble before reporting to Elder Qiong... He ostensibly reported, but in reality, he was complaining that Si Pei and the others were not following his instructions, which would also allow him to become more familiar to Elder Qiong and leave a deeper impression on him.

In the future, whenever there is a job, he will naturally be the first person I think of.

When the students saw that he seemed to have been scolded and returned, they must have felt guilty, and because of this guilt, they would be even more inclined to side with him.

One arrow can kill countless birds; Zhou Rong is indeed a master strategist.

No, don't get too cocky. Do you think this is a palace intrigue?

If you want to pursue a career in politics, then produce some tangible results, and stop doing these crazy things.

……

On August 26th, at dawn, melodious music drifted from the Guan and Qin families.

The Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families all prospered.

In the Qin family's backyard, Grandpa Qin and Second Uncle Qin were relocated to the front shop, and this area of ​​the back house became the territory of the women.

"Hot water is ready, please invite the bride to take a bath," Aunt Xu announced as she came over.

Outside the front shop, Zhou Laocun's wife, escorted by her family, arrived at Qin Jiazhai Shop.

"A blessed person is delivering good fortune to your door!"
