Chapter 1664 Fear
Zhou Shuren pulled his wife to sit down, "Of course it's true. The printed books have been sent to the private school in Beijing. The emperor wants to promote them in Beijing before the New Year and then send them to various states after the New Year."
Zhulan, "I thought we would wait until the farm was changed before promoting it."
"Happy?"
"I'm happy."
Zhou Shuren was also happy. The emperor told him in the afternoon that he felt the dark sky was no longer depressing.
After dinner, the couple talked about education and said a lot. Zhulan also took notes. As she got older, her memory wasn’t very good, so she wrote down whatever she thought of.
Before going to bed at night, Zhulan held Shuren's hand and said, "You are still too thin and your hands are dry."
Zhou Shuren pinched his wife's fat hand, leaving a dent, and fell silent.
Zhu Lan opened her eyes and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
"What?"
Zhulan: "Forget it, you won't get fat if you eat too much."
Zhou Shuren touched the wrinkles on his face. Being too thin is not good. He looks much older than his wife. "Go to sleep."
Zhulan was so happy today that she couldn't sleep. "Let's talk more?"
Zhou Shuren didn't want to talk about weight or obesity. "What do you want to talk about?"
Zhulan whispered: "As I grow older, I wonder from time to time if we can go back after we die."
Zhou Shuren hadn't thought about this question for a long time, "Do you want to go back?"
"Yes, I'm not married yet."
Zhou Shuren chuckled, "You're already a grandmother."
Zhulan said cheerfully, "Modern times are modern times."
Zhou Shuren held his wife's hand tightly and said, "Then I will marry you again."
Zhulan narrowed her eyes and said, "That's not easy."
Zhou Shuren raised the corners of his lips slightly. He said, "You must get married." That night, the couple had a rare opportunity to recall their modern life and talked for a long time.
The next day, Zhulan's good mood disappeared after reading the letter from home. Li's father passed away, and her mother followed him. She muttered, "She was in good health, how come she died of an illness?"
Mrs. Li was also stunned when she received the news. Her hands holding the letter were shaking. Boss Zhou hurriedly supported his wife.
Zhulan calculated their ages. Li's parents were in their sixties and almost seventy, which was considered a long life in ancient times. Li's parents made a living in the fields and were very poor. They were able to live to over sixty because they enjoyed their old age.
Li had already started crying, but she didn't say she wanted to go back to her parents' home. Her parents had already been buried, and it was too late for her to go back.
Zhulan felt sad when she heard Li crying. She had clearly asked her eldest son and daughter-in-law to come and chat with her, and they were so happy just now. "The letter said that my father-in-law and mother-in-law left with a smile."
Li felt even more upset after hearing this, tears streaming down her face, "She clearly said she was in good health."
Zhulan asked, "Do you want to go back and worship?"
Li shed tears silently, and after a while she said, "My daughter-in-law wants to go to the temple to donate money for my parents."
Zhu Lan responded, "Okay."
In ancient times, it was very difficult to marry a girl far away. Now it is winter, and it is even more difficult to go back.
Li cried for a while, then she lost all her energy and stood up to go back to her own yard.
Zhulan sat by the window in silence. People tend to associate things with other things, and she naturally thought of herself. She didn't know how long she sat there until her legs became numb and she came back to her senses.
The Marquis's Mansion was already wearing simple clothes due to Rong Yuyun's death, so the first wife didn't need to change her clothes.
The next day, except for Wenyue and a few other children in the eldest house who were not allowed to go out, everyone went to the temple and did not return until dark in the afternoon. Not long after they returned, Li fell ill.
Recently, Li had been haggard and had lost her parents. She became very ill, with recurring high fever, which scared everyone in the first house.
Zhulan did not rest well at night and was in a daze. She asked Qingxue to keep an eye on her. When she woke up in the morning, she received the news that Li's temperature had dropped.
After dinner, Zhulan went to see Li, who was lying on the bed. Her eldest son was feeding her porridge himself and coaxing her, "Eat a little even if you don't want to."
Zhulan could see clearly that her eldest son was frightened, his eyes were bloodshot, and he must have cried secretly.
Li felt uncomfortable all over. When she heard her mother-in-law's voice, she said nervously, "Mother, please don't come near me, or you will get sick."
Her parents died of illness, and she was really scared.
Boss Zhou put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, "Mom, my son is here, don't worry."
Seeing that Li had covered her head with the quilt, Zhulan felt warm at heart. She nodded to her son and turned to leave the bedroom. Not long after she sat down, Zhou Lao Da came out with a bowl. Zhulan felt relieved to see that he had eaten most of the bowl of porridge.
Zhou Laodao said: "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Zhulan, "You should also rest more."
Boss Zhou smiled slightly, "Yeah."
The mother and son talked for a few more words, and then Ran Wan and Liu Jia came over and were taken care of by their two daughters-in-law. Boss Zhou took the opportunity to take a rest.
Zhulan left the main room and saw Zhao and Su Xuan coming over together. "Your sister-in-law just took medicine and rested."
Zhao said, "Then we'll come back in the afternoon."
Su Xuan walked forward and supported her mother-in-law, "Mom, your daughter-in-law will take you home."
"good."
In the evening, Zhou Shuren rushed back. Seeing that his wife was fine, he finally calmed down and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable today?"
Zhulan: "No, I'm fine."
The eldest brother was afraid that she was sick, so he asked the doctor to check her pulse, and found that she was in good health.
Zhou Shuren, "This year is not a good year."
Not so for Zhouhou Mansion.
Zhulan: "Yes, this year is indeed not good."
Because Li was ill, the Zhouhou Mansion became even quieter and all the invitations sent to the Mansion were rejected.
Changzhong also stopped going out and stayed with his mother all day. Zhulan understood her son's fear. Facing death one after another, her son was afraid that his parents would leave him too.
Zhulan put down the book in her hand and said, "You don't have to stay with me."
Changzhong couldn't suppress the worry in his heart. He never felt that his parents were old. In his subconscious, his parents would see him get married, have children, and live a long life. Looking at the white hair on his mother's head, he said, "Mom, your son wants to be with you."
Now he faces up to his parents' age. He is afraid and has been having nightmares these days.
Zhu Lan laughed, "Your father and I are in good health, we will definitely see you as our own child."
Changzhong stood up and rested his head on his mother's lap, "I hope you and dad will always be with me."
Zhulan touched her son's head, thinking that there was no forever. She asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of girl you want to marry?"
Next year, Yudie will be 15 years old, and her son will be not a child anymore.
Chang Zhong said in a muffled voice: "As long as my parents like me, then they like me."
Zhulan was surprised, "Don't you want to find someone you like?"
Changzhong shook his head. His parents were the most important to him now. "You and Dad have good vision."
Zhulan laughed. Her son was still young. She also thought that for the sake of her son, she and Shuren had to work hard to live.
Qingxue came in, "Master Zhuo sent a letter to the young master."
Chang Zhong raised his head and asked, "Why would he give me the post?"
Then he took the post and said, "A post about appreciating paintings?"
Zhu Lan took it and said, "I heard from your fourth brother that Zhuo Guyu bought Gu Sheng's painting."
Chang Zhongzhen had never paid attention to it. After Gu Sheng entered the Hanlin Academy, he had less contact with Gu Sheng. Anyway, his fourth brother was there. "Zhuo Guyu would not appreciate Gu Sheng's paintings, right?"
Zhu Lan, "I heard from your father that Gu Sheng has been visiting the palace quite often recently."
Changzhong pondered, "My son will participate."
Then he called his personal servant and asked him to find out whether the future prince consort had been invited.
