On the second day after the wedding, when the whole family helped Wen Zhi collect her dowry, they were so shocked that they were speechless when they saw the yard filled with dowry.

Zhou's father and mother knew that Wen Zhi's dowry was large, but they didn't know it was so much. It was given by the Wen family, the Mu family, Yueyue, Tianmen Mountain, the Queen, and the Prince...

Zhou's father and mother wondered how many good deeds their son must have done in his previous life to be able to marry such a good wife.

Zhou's father and mother were not pretentious. They were used to working in the fishing village. With the help of Zhou Zhengyang and Zhou Mei, as well as Wen Zhi's maid, it took them a day to collect all the dowry items.

Lying on the bed at night, Zhou Zhengyang hugged Wen Zhi and said, "Madam, I will rely on you to support me from now on!"

Thinking about his pitifully meager salary, Zhou Zhengyang decided to cling to his wife.

"Husband, aren't you afraid that your colleagues will laugh at you?" Wen Zhi knew that Zhou Zhengyang was joking with her. Although the Zhou family was not rich, they had enough food and clothing.

"They are only jealous of their husband!" Zhou Zhengyang hugged Wen Zhi and felt that he owned the whole world.

"Why are you jealous of your husband?"

"Of course you are jealous that your husband can marry such a beautiful wife." Zhou Zhengyang kissed Wen Zhi's forehead, and his heart was filled with satisfaction for Wen Zhi.

"Then they can only be jealous of their husbands!" Wen Zhi was a child who was praised and spoiled since she was young, but she liked to hear Zhou Zhengyang praise her.

"Zhier, thank you for marrying me!" Zhou Zhengyang still felt it was a little unreal at this moment.

Although he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar through hard work, it was still not good enough for the Wen family.

As for being able to marry Wen Zhi, it was something he never dreamed of.

"Why thank me? Mother said that love is a matter of mutual affection. I am also very happy to marry my husband."

The first thing Wen Zhi liked about Zhou Zhengyang was his looks. She thought it was a kind of happiness to marry someone she loved. If Zhou Zhengyang had a childhood sweetheart or a fiancée, she would not be able to get what she wanted.

"Then Zhi'er must be happy in the future too!"

Zhou Zhengyang was full of gratitude to Wen Jing and Murong Shu for teaching Zhier so well.

Wen Zhi nestled in Zhou Zhengyang's arms and agreed sweetly. Zhou Zhengyang felt that he had no regrets in his life.

The young couple was still on their honeymoon, and Zhou Zhengyang happened to have a vacation, so he took Wen Zhi to travel around the capital.

Considering that Zhou's father and mother usually spend little time in the capital, Wen Zhi brought them along as well, and the family had a happy few days of fun.

Zhou Zhengyang hasn't attended court recently. Wen Jing has helped him share a lot of his affairs, and sometimes he comes back late.

Murong Shu mocked him for being a doting son-in-law, and Wen Jing smiled and said, "You just want to make Zhier happy."

Zhou's father and mother stayed in the capital for a while and then went back. They were reluctant to leave the fishing village in Haicheng, and they wanted to come back and live with their son in a few years.

When Zhou's father and mother went back, Wen Zhi was very reluctant to let her go. Zhou's father and mother doted on Wen Zhi very much and were afraid that their son would wrong his daughter-in-law.

Before leaving, Zhou's mother repeatedly told her son to take good care of Wen Zhi and put Wen Zhi first in everything. She also asked Zhou Mei to supervise Zhou Zhengyang in the capital, and to write to them if her son did not do well.

Zhou Mei had been reluctant to leave Wen Zhi, and was very happy to hear that she could stay in the capital. She knew that her parents would have to come to the capital sooner or later.

Before leaving, Wen Zhi pulled her mother-in-law aside and talked to her for a few words.

"Zhi'er, do you have anything to tell your mother?" Mother Zhou was a little nervous.

"Mom, don't be nervous. I just want to tell you that you and dad will come to the capital in the future. Let's arrange your sister's marriage in the capital so that you can take care of her in the future."

Mother Zhou was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law was worried about her daughter's marriage.

"Zhi'er, mom and dad will listen to you. If there is a suitable one, you and Zhengyang can help to look for it. As long as Mei'er is willing, we have no objection."

Zhou's mother knew that her daughter-in-law had a good relationship with her daughter, so she let her daughter decide on her own marriage. Moreover, with her son and daughter-in-law around, they would definitely not harm her daughter.

"Mom, Zhengyang and I are just worried that you and Dad will find a husband for Mei'er in Haicheng. My sister is so outstanding now, she deserves a better man."

"Mother knows everything, don't worry. I'll leave Mei'er's marriage to you and Zhengyang."

"With what mother said, Zhi'er now knows what's going on." Wen Zhi was very happy to see her mother-in-law being so open-minded.

"Zhi'er, we don't need to look for a family with a very good background. We don't want to go to a family with three wives and four concubines. Your father and I only want Mei'er to be happy. We are afraid that he will be bullied."

Zhou's mother's idea is very simple. She just wants her daughter to find someone she likes, just like her son.

"Mother, my sister is now the sister of the top scholar, how can she not be worthy of him? I will definitely find a good husband for her."

Wen Zhi's promise made her mother even happier.

After seeing Zhou's father and mother off, Wen Zhi would study medicine in the mansion when she had nothing to do. Zhou Mei was also very interested, so Wen Zhi started to teach Zhou Mei medicine.

Because she liked it, Zhou Mei studied very seriously, and with the guidance of Wen Zhi and Murong Shu, Zhou Mei learned very well.

Two years later, Wen Zhi became pregnant. The Zhou, Wen and Mu families were all overjoyed. Several aunts almost took turns visiting every day, and good things were brought into the Zhou mansion as if they were free.

Zhou Zhengyang and Zhou Mei took even more careful care of Wen Zhi, especially Zhou Zhengyang. Even if Wen Zhi sneezed, he would be nervous for a long time.

Wen Zhi was worried that Zhou Zhengyang wouldn't be able to do this, so she wrote a letter to Zhou's father and mother. After receiving the letter, the two elders went straight to Beijing and decided not to go back this time.

The first thing Zhou's mother did when she arrived in the capital was to scold her son, saying that he put too much pressure on Wen Zhi.

After Zhou's father and mother came to Beijing, Zhou Zhengyang's nervous mood was relieved. Now Zhou Mei is the head of the Zhou family, and Wen Zhi intends to train her.

Ten months later, Wen Zhi successfully gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Yi, and Zhou's father and mother were overjoyed.

Zhou Zhengyang secretly complained to Wen Zhi, "Madam, you don't see how much our parents like Yi'er. My sister and I were beaten when we were disobedient when we were young, but it seems that Yi'er won't be like that!"

Zhou Zhengyang's complaints were confirmed in the following days. Wen Zhi ranked first in the family and Zhou Yi ranked second.

One month after Zhou Yi's birth, Yan Rong came to propose marriage to her son Shu Chang and set her sights on Zhou Mei.

The whole family held an emergency meeting. Zhou Mei and Shu Chang knew each other. He was Aunt Yueyue's younger brother. Although the generations were a bit confusing, she liked Shu Chang.

After Zhou Mei nodded, Wen Zhi replied to Yan Rong that Yueyue had also returned to the capital because her brother was engaged.

Although some years have passed, time has not left any traces on Yueyue and Murong Shu's faces.

Yueyue was very supportive when she learned that her brother was engaged to Zhou Mei. Wen Zhi said to Yueyue a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Yue, it's just that the generations are a bit confusing. We have to discuss things separately in the future."

After hearing this, Yueyue asked Wenzhi, "Xiao Zhier, I only recognize Meier. I will beat my brother if he doesn't obey me."

When Shu Chang heard about this, he almost fainted from tears. His sister no longer loved him.

When Zhou Yi was one year old, Zhou Mei and Shu Chang got married, and they were very happy after marriage.

A few years later, Zhou Zhengyang was promoted to the fourth rank. At this time, the prince had become the emperor. He disliked Zhou Zhengyang when he was the prince, and he still disliked him after he became the emperor.

However, the relationship between Wen Zhi and Zhou Zhengyang is getting better and better. Everyone in the capital knows how much Lord Zhou dotes on his wife. Sometimes even Wen Jing feels inferior to him.

Murong Shu and Wen Jing are also getting old, but Murong Shu is very satisfied to have a group of close friends to accompany him.

Murong Shu often asked herself, if she had another chance to choose her life, would she still be willing?

The answer is: no looking back.

She likes everything here and everyone she meets, especially Wen Jing, who has a complementary fate to hers.

If she could go back in time, she would like to meet him, get to know him, fall in love with him, and grow old together.
