Chapter 1663: The Wedding Ceremony

In the evening, Minghui and Yuyi took a rest for the whole afternoon and looked better. Yujiao finally stopped being listless and sat next to Zhulan, saying coquettishly, "Grandma, I miss you so much. Look at my thin face, it's all because I miss you so much."

Zhulan touched her granddaughter's face and said, "Grandma knows. My good granddaughter has suffered a lot along the way."

Today's dinner was eaten by the whole family. The vegetarian dishes were delicious.

Minghui and his companions had already known the news of their uncle's death. They knew that even if they hadn't been delayed, they would not have been able to return in time.

Zhou Shuren saw that his children and grandchildren were all seated and picked up his chopsticks: "Eat."

The whole family hadn't had dinner together for a long time. At the dinner table, Zhou Shuren didn't ask about Minghui's water thieves, but was concerned about his grandson's health. The Zhou brothers and others would interject from time to time.

After the meal, Zhou Shuren did not keep his grandson to talk, and asked his grandson and granddaughter to go back and have a good rest. They had worked hard on the journey and needed to recuperate for a few days.

When only the old couple were left, Zhou Shuren sat next to his wife and said, "When we first arrived, there were only a few people at home, but now all three tables can't accommodate us."

Zhulan, "Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?"

"After my fourth uncle passed away, I felt that time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's Chinese New Year again. Another year has passed."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Yes, another year has passed, and Yu Die is about to reach the age of marriage."

Zhou Shuren snorted coldly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that recently, Old Master Liu wanted to set a date for the two children's wedding."

Zhulan didn't want to marry her granddaughter off so early, "Let's talk about it after she reaches the age of 15."

Zhou Shuren, "I responded the same way. Let the granddaughters stay for a few more years."

Granddaughters can live freely only if they are not married. Once they get married, they have no control over their own lives. Think about the eldest granddaughter who follows her husband to work, and the second granddaughter who is trapped in the back house of the Wang family. She is busy with endless things every day, and she also has to respect her elders and take care of her husband and son. The second granddaughter is the most tired.

At the Wang family, Wang Wei listened to his wife humming a song. "How many times has Minghui come back? Why are you so happy?"

"When they come back, Mom won't have to worry anymore. I've lost weight recently."

Wang Wei, "Bring some more nourishing foods for my father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow."

Yu Lu responded, "Okay."

Wang Wei said apologetically, "I have to go on business with the Minister tomorrow, so I can't go back with you."

Yu Lu was happy that her husband valued her. "I know you are busy. Just go and take care of yourself."

Wang Wei did not have the pressure of having children. He only had the calmness of being the eldest son. He looked at his wife sideways and said, "Wait two years, then we can have another daughter-in-law, okay?"

Yu Lu has been taking care of her two sons, especially the younger one, who is very naughty. She also wants a sweet-smelling girl, but "Can a daughter come whenever she wants? What if she is still a naughty boy?"

Wang Wei suddenly felt a headache when he thought of his younger son's toughness. The day before yesterday, his beloved vase was broken. Before he could say anything harsh, his grandmother took the child away!

Yu Lu burst out laughing when she saw her husband's depressed look.

Wang Wei also laughed. He really didn't expect that one day he would have so much headaches because of his son. He was worried about having an offspring before he got married, and he even secretly scared himself, fearing that he would have no offspring. Who would have thought that just a few years after getting married, he already had two sons.

The next day, Minghui went to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion next door, and he accompanied Mingteng to copy scriptures.

Yuyi and Yujiao came to the main courtyard. Zhulan looked at the expressions of her granddaughters and smiled, "It seems that they had a good rest last night."

Yuyi smiled, "I feel relieved to be home. We fell asleep soon after we got home and didn't wake up until it was dawn outside."

Yu Jiao, "Home is still the best."

Zhulan motioned Qingxue to bring some fruit and tea over, and said to the two granddaughters, "Grandma is curious about what you have seen and heard along the way. Would you like to talk to Grandma about it today?"

Yuyi really had a lot to say to her grandma, "Okay."

The fruit was quickly served, and Yu Jiao picked up an apple. "It's hard to eat fresh fruit outside, I want to eat a few more."

Yuyi said, "There were frozen pears and other frozen fruits outside, and I didn't dare let my sister eat too much."

"This girl should be taken care of."

Yu Jiao said hurriedly: "I am very obedient now."

In the subsequent conversation, Zhulan learned about the water thief's experience, and was speechless about Minghui's luck with women. However, she was happy to go out and her granddaughters learned a lot.

After a while, Yu Lu came back with her two children. Yu Die and Yu Wen came to the main courtyard after hearing the news, and the sisters chatted lively.

The sisters talked about coming of age, and Yudie asked for a gift. "You should prepare the gifts well."

Yu Lu chuckled, "I've always remembered it and have been prepared for it."

Yu Wen curled her lips and said, "Third sister, I'm ready too."

Yu Yi was happy, "What a coincidence, I've already prepared it in Ningzhou."

Yu Jiao stretched out her hand, "And me, the gift I gave to Third Sister cost me a lot of money!"

Yudie was curious when she heard this, "What gifts have you prepared?"

The sisters kept silent. Yudie saw that she couldn't get anything out of them, so she calculated, "After I reach the age of 15, I will be Yuyi, and then Yuwen."

Yu Wen's tone was very serious when she spoke this.

Yu Wen stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back and rest for a while."

After leaving the house, Yuwen held out her hand and said, "It's snowing again."

The eldest girl said, "Miss, let's go back quickly. Don't get cold."

Yuwen didn't want to go back to the yard, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

After leaving the government office and standing at the gate of the Hanlin Academy, Zhuo Guyu said to Gu Sheng, "Are you short of money?"

Gu Sheng doesn't like Zhuo Guyu, "This is my business."

Zhuo Guyu smiled and said, "I want a painting of a snow scene. I went to the art gallery several times but couldn't find one that satisfied me. How about you sell me one?"

Gu Sheng felt the gazes of his colleagues and sneered in his heart. If he was really pedantic and cared about fame, he would have rejected all those who asked for paintings when he entered the Hanlin Academy. "Okay, my paintings are not cheap."

Zhuo Guyu, "I can afford it."

Chang Zhi had paused deliberately just now, and now after listening to Gu Sheng, he nodded and walked towards his own carriage.

Gu Sheng's carriage also arrived. Seeing that it was his brother, he asked, "Brother, why are you picking me up today?"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "My father-in-law sent half a sheep over. It happened to snow today, so your sister-in-law cooked a mutton pot. I came to pick you up to eat together."

Gu Sheng, "I just happened to be eating a mutton hotpot."

"Eat more today to replenish your body."

Gu Sheng did not get into the carriage, but sat outside with his brother and left the Hanlin Academy. Because it was snowing, there were not many pedestrians on the street, only carriages passing by.

Gu Yan turned his head to look at his brother. He was very content with his current life and was most concerned about his brother. He held back and said, "Did I guess wrong last time?"

Gu Sheng responded for a while and smiled without saying anything. Zhou Changzhong had not come to Gu's house for a long time. He had not seen Miss Zhou Zhou since they last parted in the painting building, but he met Lord Zhou in the Hanlin Academy every day, and that was enough.

Gu Yan couldn't understand his younger brother more and more, then he smiled and thought that his younger brother had been the head of the family since he was young, so he didn't need to worry too much.

At Zhou Hou Mansion, Zhu Lan listened to Shu Ren's words, "Really?"
