Chapter 1708 Engagement

After asking, Zhulan continued to look at the old lady of the Luo family. Her face still looked a little sick, and she had been forcing herself to be alert. When she sat down, her posture was not as straight as before.

The old lady of the Luo family took a sip of juice and swallowed it down her throat. When her throat felt better, she replied, "Mrs. Luo, I'm worried about you. I'm fine now."

Her heart skipped a beat. Lady Zhou's question showed that the Zhou family had been keeping an eye on the Luo family. Thinking of this, her head hurt even more.

Zhulan, "People are afraid of getting sick when they get older, so you have to take good care of yourself."

Mrs. Luo felt cared for and breathed a sigh of relief. "I will take good care of myself when I return home today. When I am well, I will stay at the manor for a while."

Zhulan looked at the old lady of the Luo family and said, "It's good to cultivate your body and improve your character."

The old lady finally smiled, "The environment of the manor is good, it is indeed suitable for self-cultivation and character development."

She was about to die, and she had worried about the Luo family all her life. How could she not see Ji Rong's violence? She felt guilty towards the child. If she had insisted on not giving in, Ji Rong's mother would not have died.

So she didn't teach Ji Rong cruelly until Ji Rong was punished. When she knew that Ji Rong actually wanted to marry Mr. Zhou, she regretted it and thought she should teach Ji Rong well.

This incident also made her completely tired. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She was really tired. She wanted to teach Ji Rong well in the remaining years and did not want this child to go astray.

Zhulan and the old lady had nothing to talk about. They were not friends and could not chat about family matters. The old lady left after a short while because she was not well.

Zhulan said to Qingxue, "I've finally come to terms with it."

Qingxue, "The Luo family is able to live smoothly because of the care of the old lady. Now that the old lady has let go, they should know that life will be difficult."

The old lady of the Luo family is a good person with high emotional intelligence and good manners. She has helped the Luo family avoid many problems. The master of the Luo family is used to this and cherishes it very much. The Luo family will have a lot of fun in the future.

Zhu Lan added: "Ji Rong is lucky. There are still people who care about her and are willing to spend the rest of their lives to educate her."

Qingxue nodded, "It is indeed lucky."

If someone is willing to lend a hand, the future will be different.

The next day at the Wei family, Zhou Houfu invited Tao to be the matchmaker. The two families discussed and the marriage went smoothly. Zhulan got Wei Xinyi's birth date and sent them to match the horoscopes.

I got the matched horoscopes very quickly, which indicated a good marriage.

Marquis Zhou went to the Wei family to propose marriage for his old son, and the news spread quickly. Many people were surprised, thinking that the Marquis Zhou family would take their time in the consideration, but they didn't expect it to be so quick!

When the Luo family got the news, Lord Luo's eldest daughter-in-law sneered and went to Ji Rong's yard. Seeing Ji Rong copying scriptures, she sneered, "Don't worry about it. Zhou Houfu went to Lord Wei's house to propose marriage."

Ji Rong lowered her head and continued copying the scriptures. "I already know."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family was puzzled. Ji Rong mentioned that Mr. Zhou’s expression could not deceive people, but now he doesn’t care?

Ji Rong continued to copy the scriptures until there was no one around her. She raised her head and her eyes were red. She was unwilling to accept it. It was obviously she who met Mr. Zhou first. But what could she do if she was unwilling? She was going to the manor.

Old Madam Luo listened to the maid's report of Ji Rong's reaction and nodded with satisfaction. The girl had listened to what she said yesterday. The future was still long, and she believed that there would be someone suitable for Ji Rong.

If possible, she would also like Ji Rong to have a good home, but unfortunately there is no possibility at all. Marquis Zhou and his wife are not simple people. There are many young ladies in the capital who are interested in Mr. Zhou, and Ji Rong is not the only one. Time is the best medicine, and it will be better if she leaves the capital.

Old Madam Luo signaled the maid to pack up the rest of the dowry. These were what she had hidden away in the bottom of her box and she had to take them away. If she didn't, she couldn't give them to Ji Rong.

On the following day, at Zhou Hou Mansion, the horoscopes were matched and sent to the Wei family, and the two families went through the subsequent procedures. The day when Zhou Shuren was on leave was a good day, so the two families chose this day to get engaged.

It was the Ministry of Revenue's holiday, so Zhou Shuren got up early and changed into new clothes, which he and Zhulan wore as a couple.

Chang Zhong came to the main courtyard and said, "Dad and Mom, your clothes today make you look particularly energetic."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Your father and I are very happy because of the good news."

Chang Zhong's ears turned red, and he said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Mom and Dad."

Zhou Shuren, "Once you are engaged, you are an adult. You need to be more stable in the future."

Chang Zhong suppressed his smile and said seriously, "My son will not let you down."

The Wei family is very lively today. Zhou Shuren and his wife came to visit, and Lord Wei and his wife greeted them at the door. Zhou Shuren and Lord Wei greeted each other with a smile, while Zhulan and Feng went to the backyard.

This time, Miss Wei saw Zhulan's cheeks were red, which meant she was shy.

Zhu Lan took Wei Xinyi's hand and said, "Good boy, let me take a good look at you."

Wei Xinyi raised her head and said, "Hello, Madam."

Zhulan was already satisfied with Wei Xinyi, and she was even more satisfied when she saw the girl being so open and honest. "You have to call me aunt in the future. You have to come home more often to chat with me."

Wei Xinyi blushed and nodded, "Xinyi will definitely go there often."

Feng had been observing, and seeing that the wife of Marquis Zhou really liked the young lady, the smile on her face became more brilliant, "When there are many people coming, please don't be disgusted by her."

Zhulan said cheerfully, "My daughters-in-law are all treasures. I can't spoil them enough."

Although Feng didn't have a mother-in-law, she knew the hardship of serving one. Her mother and grandmother were always at odds with each other, and her grandmother had often tormented her mother, so she hoped that her daughter would have a good mother-in-law. Everyone in the capital knew that Lady Zhou was a good mother-in-law, so her daughter was lucky.

In the study room in the front yard, Lord Wei asked Changzhong, and knowing that Changzhong did not go to the academy, he looked at Lord Zhou in confusion.

Zhou Shuren said: "He has been taught by Wu Ming and I since he was young. A few years ago, Wu Ming took him with him for a year. He is currently studying at home."

If I didn't understand something, I would ask him and Changzhi. Most of the time, I stayed at home and rarely went to the academy.

Lord Wei was jealous. Marquis Zhou was really good at teaching his children to read. There were several second place winners in the imperial examinations in the Marquis Zhou's mansion. Wu Ming was also extraordinary. He had solid political achievements in the grasslands and was also the top scorer in the imperial examination. With such resources, he really got an extraordinary son-in-law.

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "You can test him."

He knows his son's level best, otherwise he would not let his son arrange his own time.

Lord Wei's eyes lit up. The Marquis spoke as a test for him. "Okay."

Changzhong is not afraid, because there are too many top students in his family. His fourth brother has been studying in the Hanlin Academy for many years and has become more and more knowledgeable. He is confident.

In the end, it was proved that Changzhong was outstanding in both knowledge and vision. Lord Wei smiled with the corners of his mouth raised high and said three good words in a row.

The engagement went smoothly, tokens of love were exchanged, and Changzhong got a fiancée.

The elders' words gave Changzhong and Wei Xinyi a chance to be alone. Changzhong looked around and confirmed that no one was following them before he took out a bracelet from his purse. "I heard that you like jade, so this jade bracelet is for you."

Wei Xinyi was surprised, "You also prepared a gift for me?"

Changzhong blinked his eyes, "Do you like it?"

Wei Xinyi was filled with love. Who doesn't want to be remembered by the person they love? At this moment, she felt the happiness of the Zhou family's daughter-in-law. "I love him, but I didn't prepare a gift."

Chang Zhong smiled and said, "Our engagement is the best gift."

Wei Xinyi opened her mouth slightly, "!!"

Ah, who can bear this!
