Chapter 1707 Visit

Zhulan found Li standing at the door, "Come in!"

Li came back to her senses in a daze. She knew that her mother-in-law had collected a lot of good things. What she saw far exceeded her expectations. Her eyes fell on the items she had picked out. "Mom, why did you think of organizing the storeroom?"

Zhulan waved the betrothal gift list in her hand and said, "Changzhong is getting engaged, I'll pick out the betrothal gifts."

Li's eyes widened. "My brother is getting engaged? Miss Wei?"

How come she doesn't know anything about it?

Zhulan then remembered that she had not told Li yesterday. She had originally wanted to do it slowly and quietly, but now she came straight to the point and told her why she wanted to get engaged. Finally, she said, "Ms. Wei is not bad."

Li's mind was full of the thought that she would soon have a younger brother or sister-in-law than her daughter-in-law. Oh, this feeling was really new. She said enthusiastically, "Mom, I'll help you."

Zhulan looked at Li in confusion. Li was actually happier than her. She shook her head with laughter, but also felt relieved. With so many good things in front of her, Li could still remain calm and did not disappoint her.

By the time the betrothal items were chosen, everyone in the Zhou family knew that Changzhong was going to get engaged.

Several daughters-in-law gathered in the main courtyard, and all they talked about was Miss Wei, their future brother-in-law, whom they also wanted to meet.

At the Wei family, Mrs. Feng was surprised to see the Princess of Qin and hurried out to greet her, "Meet the Princess."

Xue Han smiled and said, "I hope my sudden visit does not disturb you."

Feng was so happy that she couldn't wait to say, "It is a great honor for you to come to my humble home. Please come in, Princess."

It was Xue Han’s first time to visit the Wei family. The house was quite nice, with an elegant courtyard and many flowers and plants planted in the main courtyard.

Seeing the princess looking at the flowers and plants, Feng said, "I like flowers and plants, so I planted more."

“It looks good.”

Feng was very happy to receive the compliment. These flowers and plants were all cultivated by her. "Princess, please."

After entering the room, Xue Han looked around calmly, sat down and asked, "Why don't I see Miss Wei?"

Feng's heart moved, "She is copying scriptures. The princess wants to see her? I will ask her to come over now."

Xue Han was not in a hurry to see Miss Wei. She smiled and said, "No need to ask Miss Wei to come over. By the way, I brought a gift for Miss Wei."

The female official stepped forward and placed the box on the table, motioning for Feng to open it and take a look.

Feng looked at the small box, guessing in her heart but her hands were moving quickly. She saw a jade pendant in the box, "What is this?"

Xue Han explained: "This piece of jade is made from the same material as my younger brother's jade pendant."

At that time, my father went to buy jade pendants, and Rongchuan went with him. He also bought the remaining pieces, one for each of my daughter and son. This piece was placed in the warehouse. Today, he just wanted to use the jade to convey his feelings.

Feng couldn't help but hold the jade pendant tightly. The curve of her mouth became bigger and bigger. She couldn't suppress it no matter how hard she tried. She calmed down her excitement and said happily: "I will give it to Xinyi and let her keep it well."

Xue Han smiled and said, "There will be a time to take it out."

Feng was impressed by the decisiveness of Zhou Houfu. She had been thinking about waiting. She had never worried about Ji Rong. Zhou Houfu's wife was such a powerful person, Ji Rong could not do anything about it. In the end, the Marquis's family arranged the marriage directly.

Feng put the jade pendant into the box and said, "I was wondering why there was a magpie on the tree today. It must be a great happy event."

Xue Han liked Feng's intelligence. Children taught by an intelligent mother would be good. "Then I won't stay here for long. I'm waiting for news at home."

After hearing this, Feng Shi couldn't keep him any longer, "I'll take you out."

At noon, Zhulan took the eldest daughter and the younger daughter to choose a date together. As for who to invite to act as a matchmaker, the current Zhou Marquis Mansion is no longer like it was when it first came to Beijing, and there are many people willing to help with matchmaking.

Xuemei looked at the date and asked, "Is it too urgent?"

Zhu Lan, "Don't worry, I have prepared everything for your little brother's wedding."

So there is no need to rush at all, all you need to do is ask a matchmaker to pick a date.

Xuemei: "Mom, when did you prepare it?"

Zhulan thought that she and Shuren had started preparing for their son's birth, but she couldn't say, "We prepared a long time ago."

Xuemei didn't think much about it and said, "My younger brother is about to get engaged."

Zhulan also expressed her feelings a lot, but now she was only excited. How should I put it? The feeling was much stronger than when she married off her previous sons.

The next day was the morning court session. Coincidentally, Lord Wei was also in the morning court session today. Zhou Shuren felt his gazes on him and nodded kindly to Lord Wei.

Lord Wei felt relieved. The Marquis Zhou's Mansion was really going to marry into his family, and the daughter was going to marry into a wealthy family. It would be good for both him and his son. With the marriage into the Marquis Zhou's Mansion, he no longer had to worry about obstacles in the Ministry of Justice. Today, he could finally have a good sleep when he returned home.

The Minister of Justice was puzzled, "When did you get to know Lord Zhou?"

Lord Wei was in a dilemma. This was the imperial court, and he couldn't hide it from Lord Shangshu. He was afraid that if he told Lord Shangshu about the engagement, he would have an opinion of him.

Fortunately, the emperor arrived, the Minister of Justice turned his head, and Lord Wei breathed a sigh of relief, he was lucky.

After the court session, Wang Ju came over and asked, "Wei family?"

"Good eyesight."

Wang Ju, "The Minister of Justice looked at you several times, and you nodded to Lord Wei after the court session. It was hard for me not to notice it."

"It just means you care about me enough."

Wang Ju asked, "Is it really decided?"

"Can an engagement be fake?"

"I really didn't expect it to be the Wei family."

Zhou Shuren glanced at him and said, "There are many things you haven't thought of. I'm leaving first."

When Wang Ju saw Zhou Shuren and the eunuch leaving, she shook her head. She didn't know how many people were staring at Changzhong, but it was the Wei family who got the first crack at it. The Wei family was really lucky.

Time passed quickly, and the academy decided on the orphans who would go to the grassland. Zhulan had an accident, and the girl who stayed in school with her exchanged places with the girl on the list, all because her lover went to the grassland.

The two got married with the witness of the female official. Originally, they didn't have much money, but because they went to the grassland to teach, not only was half of their debt forgiven, but they also received a month's salary in advance. The monthly salary for teaching in the grassland was very high, and the monthly salary paid in advance did not have to be used to repay the debt. The two used part of the money for the wedding, and used the remaining money to buy a lot of daily necessities and dried vegetables.

Not only the married ones knew how to live, but the other orphans who went to the grassland also bought a lot of dried vegetables.

They planned to wait until winter to exchange supplies with the herdsmen. They were all smart kids.

After Zhulan finishes her work here, she will go to the Wei family to propose marriage tomorrow. As for Ji Rong's situation, Zhulan is also keeping an eye on her for fear of accidents. Even if Ji Rong is under house arrest, she is still afraid of any accidents.

Zhulan was excited when Steward Ding came to the main courtyard and said, "Madam, the old lady of the Luo family wants to see you."

Zhulan didn't think the old lady of the Luo family was confused. She knew that the old lady was ill and it was not a good time for her to go out. She could only apologize to Ji Rong. She sighed in her heart, "Please come in."

Butler Ding: "Yes."

The old lady of the Luo family walked slowly. The illness had drained away a lot of her energy and vitality. She had lost a lot of weight and looked even older.

Zhulan said, "Please take a seat."

The old lady of the Luo family thanked him, sat down and said, "I am sorry to bother you by visiting."

Zhulan motioned to the girl to serve some juice, "I heard you were sick, but I don't think you're completely well?"
