Chapter 1672 Unwilling

Mrs. Guo was unhappy, "Why can't I give it to my son?"

Lord Liu was thinking about his own material, "That's what I'm saving for myself to carve seals!"

Mrs. Guo, "My son wanted to choose a piece of material, but there was nothing suitable in the big warehouse, so I asked him to go to your small warehouse to have a look. I was too busy during the New Year and forgot to tell you. Can't I give you a gift as compensation?"

Master Liu was so angry that he couldn't vent it on his wife. He felt so depressed. "That was the material I got with so much difficulty."

He had been keeping them and hadn't been willing to use them. He felt very upset just thinking about it. All the things he was reluctant to use were taken away by that bad boy.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Miss Zhou San is coming of age, and your son wants to give her a coming-of-age gift. Don't you also want to marry your son off as soon as possible?"

Lord Liu stood up and said, "No, I need to put my valuables back in place."

When Mrs. Guo saw her husband leaving in a hurry, she thought to herself, You deserve it for what you did!

During the New Year of the tenth year of prosperity, there were no lively events in the Zhou Mansion and the New Year was celebrated in a dull manner. After the New Year, Zhou Shuren and his wife preferred to stay in the main courtyard and relax.

The task of entertaining the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings was entirely handed over to Zhou Lao Da and his wife. Ming Yun was not at home, Ming Teng was in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, and Ming Hui was captured and Zhuang Ding was asked to help.

Liu Yuanbo and Yu Yueyang, who were already engaged, chose the same day to pay New Year's greetings. Coincidentally, they both arrived at the Marquis' Mansion at the same time in the morning.

Liu Yuanbo looked a little unnatural, "Why are you staring at my knees?"

"I feel like Brother Liu's walk is a little unnatural."

Liu Yuanbo didn't see the smile in Yu Yueyang's eyes, and cleared his throat, "I kowtowed during the New Year and hit my knees."

"oh."

The tone is a bit long.

Liu Yuanbo's ears turned red. It was his father's punishment that made him kneel for a long time. If it wasn't the New Year, he would have knelt even longer!

Yu Yueyang entered the mansion first, and Liu Yuanbo touched his nose and followed. The two of them entered the mansion and went to the main courtyard first.

After Zhulan and the other two boys finished greeting each other, she took out the red envelopes she had prepared and said, "In the new year, I hope everything goes well for you."

Seeing that the two boys were afraid of him, Zhou Shuren waved his hand and told them to go out.

After everyone left, Zhou Shuren asked, "Am I scary?"

"The capital is full of legends about you, what do you think?"

Zhou Shuren was happy, "Then I will make more legends."

Zhu Lan stood up and asked, "And then it became a legend that scared children to tears?"

Zhou Shuren thought it was great. When he saw his wife walking away, he chased after her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhulan said, "I want to paint."

"I'll go with you."

"Just don't make trouble."

Qingxue signaled all the maids in the room to go out, and they left with smiles on their faces. The master and the mistress had such a good relationship.

On the other side, Liu Yuanbo and Yu Yueyang paid New Year's greetings to other elders of the Zhou family and received a lot of red envelopes before they met their fiancées.

Yudie is about to reach marriage age, but she is not as open as before when facing her fiancé. She shyly turns her head away when he looks at her.

Liu Yuanbo touched his knees with his fingertips. He could bear the punishment if he could get married sooner. "I made the lantern myself. Do you like it when I draw it?"

The tips of Yudie's ears turned red. "Okay."

Yu Yueyang felt that he had lost. It seemed that he rarely made gifts for his fiancée himself. He always bought the gifts himself!

Minghui coughed and said, "All these people are here, is it okay for you to flirt with me like this?"

Yu Wen was in a rare state of concentration watching the show. She held up a fan to cover her face to hide the smile on her lips.

Yudie blushed, "Let's play games."

Yujiao started to tease, "Third sister is shy?"

Yudie gritted her teeth, "I'll deal with you later."

Yu Jiao was not afraid and muttered, "Shy paper tiger."

Ming Jing replied, "It's obviously a well-cooked crab!"

The whole room burst into laughter, Yudie's face turned even redder, and Liu Yuanbo felt sad. He thought his brother-in-law and sister-in-law would be too good at talking!

After the New Year, the topic of discussion in the capital was that Earl Ye was marrying his daughter to the Yong'an Duke's Mansion. The betrothal proposal attracted a lot of attention, and the weather was still cold after the New Year, but it did not stop people from coming to see the wedding.

Marrying off Earl Ye's daughter was a grand affair. Whenever he carried the dowry out, there was a lot of lively discussion.

Zhulan was pulled out by Li to watch the excitement, "The Earl's Mansion gave away a lot of land as a dowry."

Mrs. Li stood by the window and said, "This dowry is too heavy."

Zhulan, "Years ago, Changzhong saw Zhuo Guyu and Ye Jing together, and the two families united together. The dowry is a sign of sincerity."

Li said, "Fortunately, I only have one daughter."

Zhulan smiled and said, "My son wants to pay a betrothal gift."

Li's face was relaxed, "The only two left in the first house are Minghui and Mingjing. Minghui's preparations are already complete."

Qingxue walked in, "Madam, Concubine Chen is also in the teahouse. She invites you to have tea."

Zhulan stood up and said, "Let's go over there."

The Princess of Qi was also in Concubine Dowager Chen's box. The two of them were arguing about something, but they stopped when they saw Zhulan.

Concubine Chen said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Zhu Lan saw the booklet in the concubine's hand and said with a smile, "Let's discuss the plot of the story?"

Toffee Chen smiled and said, "Yes."

Zhulan sat down, "Is the Concubine preparing to write a new story?"

Concubine Chen was very grateful to Yang because she found fun in her. "Well, too many people want to read the new storybook."

When Zhulan first learned that Concubine Chen was writing a storybook to sell, she was a little dazed and even asked the retired emperor Shuren if he cared. It turned out that the retired emperor really didn't care. After all, he used a pseudonym, and with Prince Qi around, few people knew who Mr. Yan was, and those who knew didn't dare to spread it. Concubine Chen's career in her later years developed.

There were several concubines. Concubine Chen was obsessed with writing storybooks. The other two, one became a nun after the death of Prince Liang, and the other was obsessed with raising grandsons!

Concubine Chen suddenly said, "You have a lot of ideas. When you are no longer in charge of orphans, how about writing a story with me?"

Princess Qi coughed, and Concubine Chen realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

Zhu Lan didn't show it on her face, "What does the concubine know?"

Shu Ren didn’t know anything and didn’t tell her a single word!

Concubine Chen's eyes drifted a little. She thought that Yang would know it sooner or later. "Prince Qi has been entering the palace every day recently."

Zhulan did not ask any more questions. The emperor consulted with Prince Qi and lamented that the talents of Prince Qi and Prince Chu were worthy of being emperors. What a pity!

Concubine Chen admired Yang very much. Her son often praised Yang's talents. Yes, Yang was still Mr. Feng Qing. "It's a pity for you."

Zhulan: "Hmm?"

Princess Qi supported her forehead, and she was happy that her mother-in-law didn't care about anything. But her mother-in-law lived a comfortable life and was not as cautious as before. However, it was easy for people to trust the Zhou Marquis and his wife because they lived so clearly.

Concubine Chen smiled and said, "We have many good sons in the Chen family. Would you like to consider choosing a grandson-in-law from the Chen family?"

Zhulan laughed, the topic changed too quickly. The Chen family was indeed good, but it was a pity that Prince Qi was still alive and well. No matter how good the Chen family was, the Zhou family would not marry into their family at the moment!

Princess Qi coughed and Concubine Chen sighed. She knew that Yang was a talented person and dared to say that the Zhou family would be a good marriage. Her father had been bedridden for several years and had insisted on taking medicine just for the Chen family. If the Chen family could marry into the Zhou family, her father would be happy, but unfortunately the Zhou family was unwilling.
