Chapter 593: Zhou Xinrou arranges a marriage for the girl in her family!
"yes!"
Huang Yu was eager to make a contribution and didn't want to listen to Zhou Xinrou's self-righteous arrangements, so he didn't tell her when he left.
Even so, not long after she left the city, a group of people quietly followed her.
Idiot, she brought people from the imperial court with her this time, what if she arouses suspicion?
It's really more of a failure than a success.
"You go first, I'll catch up with you in a bit!"
Huang Yu found an excuse to stay, and after finding the people who followed him, he immediately scolded them.
"Didn't she say that she didn't have many people around her?"
The leading secret guard replied carefully: "We are just following the instructions. As for how many troops are left, we don't know."
Huang Yu felt a little angry. These people's attitude towards her was the same as Zhou Xinrou's attitude towards her.
Zhou Xinrou really didn't take her young master seriously.
"Stay away, don't let the people around me find out. They are all from the imperial court, and among them there may be people sent by Shen Lanxi to monitor me."
The secret guards immediately obeyed the order.
When he set out again, Huang Yu could no longer see those people.
The other side
Zhou Xinrou is fulfilling her duties as the mistress of the house and is choosing a husband for the girl in her family.
She called Madam Shen, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Miao over.
At first, the three of them were a little uncomfortable, but after staying for a while, they saw that Zhou Xinrou was really concerned about the marriage of her daughter, so they became less restrained.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it a bad idea to marry Yuantang to someone else?" Miao wanted to speak for Shen Yuantang. After all, her grandson was still being taken care of by Shen Yuantang.
Zhou Xinrou: "The Nanliang Zhou family is a royal family. Although the bloodline is a bit distant, His Majesty has not taken back the fiefdom. Moreover, the Nanliang Zhou family has accumulated wealth for several generations. Although not as rich as a country, it is more prosperous than the average royal family."
"If Yuan Tang marries him, she will not only enjoy endless wealth and splendor, but will also be able to help Your Majesty appease the clans of Nanliang."
This statement was impeccable, but the princess was Yuan Tang's biological mother after all. Nanliang was so far away that it would take several months to travel back and forth. If Yuan Tang married there, she might not be able to see her for several years.
Is the princess really willing to do so?
She only has two daughters, Lanxi and Yuantang.
"No matter what the boss says, will he be willing?" Old Madam Shen asked.
Zhou Xinrou: "As long as his daughter can help the family, he will naturally be willing to do so."
The elders naturally won’t say anything, but the younger ones may not.
Ever since the elders got together, each family has been keeping a close eye on them.
What they talked about would naturally reach the ears of each room quickly.
"I didn't expect she would be this kind of person."
"What kind of mother is she if she uses her own daughter's marriage to pave the way for another daughter?"
"Not only her daughter, but also our marriage."
"When we first got married, we didn't help our family, but this time it may not be the case."
"She only helps her eldest daughter and doesn't think about us."
The younger generation was already complaining, but Zhou Xinrou had arranged everything just right.
"In order to prevent you from accusing me of being biased, I will marry my own children to a remote place, and arrange for the others to live in the capital."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhou Xinrou's words.
Is she serious?
It's impossible?
How could anyone be so cruel to his own daughter?
When a daughter marries far away, her family won’t know if she is bullied. Many daughters who marry far away will die in their husband’s home without their family knowing about it, and they think their daughter is living well in her husband’s home.
"You all have daughters returning home, so you can pick one of the families listed on the name tags."
"Those who choose well will be the helpers in your respective rooms from now on!"
That is true.
"We older people think more carefully than children. They only care about the present and don't think about the daily necessities of life. Although they are young, we, as elders, should help them more."
"What the sister-in-law said makes sense."
"Sister-in-law is right."
"Sister-in-law, Yuan Hao's wife has been gone for a while. Can you talk to His Majesty and ask him not to mourn for such a long time? How can a man survive without a woman to take care of him?"
Zhou Xinrou nodded: "I will write a letter and have someone deliver it to the palace later."
Miao had no objection.
But Old Madam Shen has something to say.
"Princess, logically, there are some things that I shouldn't bother you with. But now I'm old, and my body isn't as strong as it used to be."
Zhou Xinrou said politely: "Mother, if you have something to say, you can say it!"
Seeing that she had no objection, Old Madam Shen said tactfully: "You can't just arrange the marriages of the younger generation in the family. They have people who understand their own needs. The rooms of the elders can't be left empty either."
Zhou Xinrou thought about it and immediately understood who she was talking about.
"Why haven't I seen Fourth Brother recently? Is he busy with something?"
Old Madam Shen was stunned. Her sons came to her room to pay their respects every day.
"Isn't the fourth one at home?"
Liu said bluntly, "It's not like he's not at home now, he's often not at home."
Old Madam Shen has lived with Liu for many years and has already understood her thoroughly.
If she speaks in such a sarcastic tone, there must be something going on.
"Liu, do you know something? Tell me quickly!"
…
Another secret report came from Tianjin, still about the seventh brother.
The situation there is chaotic now, and we can't let Brother Seven take the risk of delivering messages for her.
She picked up the pen and wrote a few words, then sent it out via courier as quickly as possible.

Under Yuan Lang's lobbying, many nobles defected to Zhou Ruyuan.
Zhou Ruyuan granted them official positions and land.
The Great Zhou map was circled with a pen and cut into several pieces. The newly made map looked a bit tattered and messy.
"Master, this piece of land is too small and not fertile enough. I want the Jiangdong piece." A new noble who came to seek refuge circled a large area with charcoal.
Yuan Lang's face looked a little ugly. This man brought few soldiers and horses, but his appetite was big.
He immediately asked for the most fertile land in Jiangdong.
"No, this piece of land is the most vast in the entire Jiangdong area. I can only give you one third of the troops you brought with you at most."
The Liu family was not happy about this.
"I have 10,000 men at my disposal, all well-equipped with armor, weapons, and fine horses. One third of my disciples is too few."
Yuan Lang's eyes turned and he said, "If you really want that piece, it's not impossible, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Put those 10,000 soldiers and their equipment into our Great Zhou Army."
The Liu clan immediately denied it.
"No, those soldiers are raised by my family with great difficulty to protect our family members. They cannot be incorporated into the Great Zhou Army."
Yuan Lang sneered. These noble families only wanted to come and divide the benefits but didn't want to contribute any effort. Did he want to fatten them up and let them turn around and eat their master?
