Chapter 1706 Overturned

Zhou Shuren walked with a sullen face, causing the ministers who had not walked far to look at him sideways. They did not hear clearly what Lord Luo said just now, but they saw clearly that Lord Luo had an unhappy expression, and they wondered how Lord Luo had offended Marquis Zhou again.

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, if it weren't for Old Luo's arrogance and his desire to suppress him, and if the news got out, his son's good reputation would be ruined. What life-saving grace is the most speculative thing!

In ancient times, the reputation of women was important, and the reputation of men was also important. Ran Xun had a son out of wedlock before his marriage, and the reputation of the men in the Ran family was affected. They were very afraid that another person like Ran Xun would appear.

Wang Ju said, "Don't be angry, just listen to what he says."

Zhou Shuren's face has returned to normal. "Changzhong is not young anymore. I am going to arrange an engagement for him."

If you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. It is better to make a decision early to avoid trouble.

Wang Ju was stunned, then responded: "Are you satisfied?"

Zhou Shuren felt a little better, "She is indeed a good girl."

Wang Ju knew how picky Zhou Shuren was. If she could get a "good" from him, it meant that the girl was really good. She was curious, "Whose girl is she?"

"We'll know the fate even before we get engaged."

It would be bad for the girl's reputation if she told it now. She should be protected as her future daughter-in-law.

Wang Ju became even more curious. She thought carefully about the famous girl in the capital, but she still couldn't guess it right.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren asked Jianyan to send a message home, telling his wife about this and asking her to think about when to invite a matchmaker.

At Zhou Hou Mansion, Zhu Lan heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family came to the house and said that she came to express her gratitude. She turned cold and said, "No."

Steward Ding didn't like the look of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family, so he left immediately after hearing what was said.

At the door of the Marquis's residence, Steward Ding smiled and said, "The old lady said that you thanked the wrong place. You should go to the Prince of Qin's residence. Please go back."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family froze in laughter. "How could we come to the wrong place? My Ji Rong said."

Butler Ding interrupted, "Please go back."

After saying this, Butler Ding signaled the doorman to close the door.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family stared at the tightly closed door, her face changing again and again. She wondered why Ji Rong suddenly fell ill, and it turned out that everything she said was a lie. She didn't want Ji Rong to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, so she was happy that Ji Rong was ill, and she even brought her granddaughter with her, but in the end she didn't even get in.

In the main courtyard, Zhulan knew that the people had left and Jianyan had also returned. After hearing this, she said, "I know."

After Jianyan left the room, Zhulan said to Qingxue, "Ji Rong must have underestimated Lord Luo's intentions and the greed of the Luo family."

Qingxue, "Miss Ji will not have an easy time these days."

Everyone in the capital knows how much the Luo family values ​​their reputation. Even though they have lost all their reputation now, Mr. Luo will still get angry.

Zhulan said: "Send someone to the Qin Palace. It's better for Changzhong to get engaged as soon as possible."

She didn't dislike Ji Rong, and she admired her resistance, especially when facing a pedantic family like the Luo family. What a pity.

Qingxue: "Yes."

Xue Han came very quickly, and her face was not very good when she came. Zhu Lan asked: "Did the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family go to the Qin Palace?"

"Yes, my daughter didn't tell me that Miss Ji has already expressed her gratitude."

Zhulan thought that Ji Rong had an even worse time. Ji Rong came alone to express her gratitude, and she probably expressed her gratitude secretly. She didn't know if she would hate Zhou Houfu to an extreme degree.

Xue Han smiled again, "Mom, I told you I have good taste."

"You do have good taste."

"That is."

Before she got married, she was taught by her parents. After she got married, she was guided by her mother. She often went to the palace and met all kinds of officials' wives. Although she was young, she had a sharp eye.

Zhulan waited for the maid to put down the tea before she spoke: "Your father and I met Miss Wei yesterday and we were very satisfied. You can inform Mrs. Feng and I will choose the date."

Xue Han asked, "Did Dad also meet Miss Wei? Where did you meet her?"

Zhulan's eyes wandered a little, "This is not important."

Xue Han didn't think much about it, "Does Changzhong agree?"

She was optimistic about Miss Wei and also wanted to hear her brother's opinion.

Zhu Lan's eyes were full of smiles. "If he wasn't satisfied, he wouldn't have given the invitation to the Second Master Wei."

"A lot of things happened when I wasn't aware of it."

"The two of them are indeed destined to be together."

Xue Han's eyes lit up, "Mom, don't worry, your daughter will make it beautiful."

"Okay, you can also find out what the ladies like."

Xue Han said: "Okay."

Changzhong came over and faced his sister's teasing eyes, lowered his head and looked at himself, "Is there anything wrong with my brother?"

"I have to go do something for you. Please stay and talk to your mother."

Changzhong came specially because he heard his sister was coming, but his sister left immediately. "Mom, what can I do for you?"

Zhulan told him about the morning court and the purpose of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family. "I originally wanted to take it slow, but now I think it's better to get engaged early."

If Ji Rong was smart enough, she would give up the idea. Once engaged, Ji Rong would ruin herself if she did something out of line.

Changzhong felt a little embarrassed, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhu Lan exclaimed, "You are more satisfied with Miss Wei than I thought."

Changzhong touched his nose and said, "Eye rim, the eye rim you mentioned."

He had met many young ladies, many of whom were excellent, but none of them caught his eye, so he simply asked his parents to help him choose. Unexpectedly, he met one who was right for him.

Zhulan said: "Don't go out recently."

Chang Zhong said: "Okay."

He didn't ask what would happen to Ji Rong. He thought about the worst possible outcome as soon as he spoke. It was obvious that Miss Ji had miscalculated this time.

When Yuwen found out, “!!”

She hadn't figured out how to teach Miss Ji a lesson yet, but Miss Ji ended up messing herself up!

Yuwen was a little scared. "If the Luo family wasn't so greedy, once the rumor spread, it would affect my uncle's reputation. It would be bad if Miss Wei misunderstood."

Zhulan: "So we should thank the Luo family for their stupidity?"

"Thank you."

Zhulan thought again that the Luo family was so stupid that they saved Ji Rong, otherwise she would have helped them if she admired Ji Rong.

Yuwen asked, "Grandma, my uncle is getting engaged, and I am considered the matchmaker!"

"When are you going to get engaged?"

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Yuwen, "We have to wait another year at least."

"Forget it. I won't take care of your business. If you want to get engaged, let grandma know in advance."

Yuwen couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

The next day, Zhou Shuren did not see Lord Luo at the morning court. He sighed twice, saying that this man was too ashamed to see him!

The ministers were silent. The older Zhou Shuren got, the better he was at making people angry.

Zhou Shuren had no idea what his colleagues were thinking, he was in a very good mood.

At Marquis Zhou's Mansion, Zhulan sent people to keep an eye on the Luo family. After confirming that no news had come out from the Luo family, she was completely relieved. The Luo family has their advantages for being proud, and they would cover up any embarrassing things.

In a good mood, Zhulan took the gift list she wrote last night to the warehouse. There were several warehouses in the main courtyard, which showed how much she and Shuren had collected.

Zhulan and her husband wrote and revised the betrothal gift list again and again, and were not satisfied until they went to bed.

Zhulan stood at the door of the warehouse and nodded with satisfaction. Well, this was the empire she had built over the years!

When Li came, she was confused, "Mom, do you want to tidy up the warehouse?"

As she spoke, Li walked to the door of the warehouse. The boxes in the warehouse were open. She was a little shocked!
