Chapter 1685: It’s a pity for Mrs. Luo

Yuyi did not go over to ask. It was obvious that the girl did not want to call attention to herself. She endured the pain in her knees without saying a word. The red mark on her forehead had not gone away yet, and she had no idea what the girl's purpose was.

Yuyi didn't want to get involved in possible trouble, so she took a look and turned her head away.

After a while, the girl left with her maid and glanced at Yuyi before leaving.

It was getting late, Yuyi went to look for her grandmother and saw the girl again. She didn't feel that there was fate. The temple looked very big but there were only a few crowded places. When it came to fate in the temple, Yuyi was the least convinced about the fate she encountered in the temple.

Seeing grandma coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandma, Grandma Tao."

Tao likes Yuyi very much, "You must have waited for a long time."

Yuyi went forward to support her grandmother and replied, "No."

Zhulan patted her granddaughter's cold hand. The spring weather was still very cold. "Let's go down the mountain now."

"Um."

The scholars who had been listening to the lecture came out one after another, "Madam Zhou Hou."

Zhulan turned around and recognized the person, smiling, "I didn't see you just now."

The old lady of the Luo family stepped forward quickly and said, "I was in the corner just now. It's a rare opportunity to see you worshipping Buddha."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Yes, I don't like to worship Buddha like you do."

The old lady of the Luo family was a nice person. She was very generous after meeting her several times. Unfortunately, the Luo family's style was too conservative. Old Mr. Luo was simply the representative of stubbornness in the court. She always felt sorry for the old lady Luo. Not only did she manage the rear house for her husband all her life, but she also had to help her husband ease relationships.

The old lady of the Luo family held the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "I like to worship Buddha and calm my mind."

Zhulan thought that she really needed to calm down, otherwise she would be so angry to death with such a husband. Lord Luo had many concubines in the backyard, and it was obvious that the Luo family did not have much wealth.

Thinking of this, Zhulan thought that if a woman married the wrong man her life would be ruined, and the Luo family now relied on the profits from Mrs. Luo's dowry.

Tao said, "Come together if there's a chance. Nine times out of ten I invite Zhulan, she won't come."

Zhulan replied, "You come here too often."

The old lady of the Luo family agreed with a smile. She had been very upset in recent years and wanted to give up and not care about anything. However, she couldn't do that because her son was just like her husband. Only by praying to Buddha could she find peace of mind.

Tao noticed the girl behind the old lady of the Luo family, "Who is this?"

The girl is pretty, but the red mark on her forehead is a bit unsightly. What happened to the girl's forehead?

The old lady of the Luo family noticed the forehead of her great granddaughter, frowned slightly, and then smiled and said, "This is my third daughter's daughter Ji Rong, who just returned to the capital."

Mrs. Tao smiled. She didn't know the Luo family, and nodded to the girl.

Zhulan introduced Yuyi, "This is my fourth granddaughter, Yuyi."

Yuyi nodded to Jirong, and Jirong also smiled, and the two girls got to know each other.

Yuyi wasn't the type to get friendly and talk to someone just after meeting them, so she still supported her grandmother, and the group walked down the mountain quickly while talking.

The carriages of several families are very different. The carriage designed by a craftsman hired by Zhulan's wealthy family is the best at first glance. The Wang family's carriage is not bad either, but the rules of a large family make it look more majestic. The worst is the Luo family's carriage, which is a bit old even though it is well maintained.

Zhulan got on the carriage and lowered the carriage curtain. "What a pity."

Yuyi asked, "Grandma, what's the pity?"

"It's a pity that the old lady of the Luo family is such a perceptive person."

Then I thought that if the old lady hadn’t been clear-headed, she might have died of depression long ago.

Yuyi, "My granddaughter doesn't like the Luo family."

She had met Miss Luo several times, and she didn't look very lively. She also heard that married daughters of the Luo family would be part of their husband's family even after death, and divorce was absolutely not allowed.

There were divorces for daughters of officials in the capital, and many of them truly loved their daughters. Divorces were allowed for daughters in the Jian Dynasty, and it was not just for show.

Zhulan is only interested in the old lady of the Luo family. She has never paid attention to other people. Shuren dislikes old man Luo very much.

When she got home, before Zhulan could send someone to ask Yu Lu, Yu Lu had returned with the children and had not yet left. When they heard that she had returned, they brought the two children to the main courtyard.

Zhulan saw her granddaughter holding onto Zhuoqing and refused to let go, "I heard about it."

Yu Lu let go of her youngest son and motioned for the two children to go out and play. After the children left the house, she said, "Grandma, I can't bear to leave my children."

Even though she had two children, she was not overly partial to either one; they were all her sons.

Zhulan said, "I heard from your grandmother that the old man wouldn't let me."

Yu Lu didn't dare to ask her grandfather. She went home to ask her grandmother for advice. When she heard this, her eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Well, I see your grandmother is reluctant to part with it."

Yu Lu, "No matter how reluctant I am, I will side with my son. If my mother-in-law comes back and talks too much about my father-in-law's hard work, she might turn against me."

Zhulan said: "If the child doesn't want to leave her, no one can do anything about it."

Every one of the Wang family's children is a treasure, and no one can stop Zhuoqing from leaving if he doesn't want to.

Yu Lu thought about it and said, "My granddaughter knows."

Zhulan asked again: "Your mother-in-law is coming back, do you know what's going on?"

Yu Lu frowned slightly. She had never gotten along with her mother-in-law before. She had wanted to get along with her mother-in-law through her son. But now she was afraid that if her son and mother-in-law got along for too long, her mother-in-law would really take Zhuo Qing away. "My granddaughter has two sons."

This is her confidence. Her mother-in-law will not make things difficult for her. Even after the five-year agreement, her mother-in-law will not come back to cause trouble.

A few days later, Zhulan's article was published in the newspaper. In addition to subscribing to the newspaper, Zhulan also sent her servants to queue up to buy newspapers, and she bought a total of twenty copies.

Changzhong, "Mom, you bought too much."

Zhu Lan touched the newspaper and said, "This is the evidence that I am Mr. Feng Qing. I even kept the unpainted manuscript. I will seal the newspaper and put it in a safe place to be worth money later!"

Imagine that someone would find out from studying newspapers in the future that her fat face had a rosy glow and that she had left her mark in history. In order to make her mark more prominent, she had to write more articles.

Changzhong chuckled. His mother liked to hoard things. He knew that she had stored quite a lot of things. The variety was very rich, ranging from large ornaments to small exquisite jewelry. His mother always said that this was a rich fortune left for her descendants.

Zhulan happily flipped through the newspaper, "See? Today your mother's article is ranked first on the second page."

Changzhong, "Yes, yes, mother is the best."

Zhulan touched her chin and said, "It would be nice if I could get paid for the articles published in the newspaper."

Unfortunately, those who write for newspapers are all seeking fame. Newspapers have no shortage of articles to publish, but interesting stories are scarce, so they pay money!

Changzhong laughed, "Mom can also write some interesting stories."

Zhu Lan shook her head, "No, no, I have to hold this vest up."

Until this vest is firmly established, she cannot lower her standards, or it will affect her plans!

Zhulan invited a craftsman to her house to seal the newspapers. She sealed two copies for each of her son and daughter. When the craftsman arrived, she happily made the arrangements.

Changzhong accompanied his mother quietly. Although he was not married, the seven portions that his mother had sealed up included his. He liked to see his mother busying herself for him and hoped that she would always be so energetic.

Zhulan was very happy at home. She didn’t know how people outside reacted to today’s newspaper. Many people knew that Zhulan was Mr. Fengqing, and the reaction was huge!
