Chapter 1811 Good Fate

A few days later, Zhulan got more accurate information from Yuwen, "You said Concubine Chen gave Miss Jiao a complete set of ruby ​​head ornaments?"

Yu Wen ate an orange and nodded, "I gave it to her in front of everyone, and I also told Miss Jiao's mother that there is no rush to get engaged."

Zhulan saw that the oranges on the plate were almost eaten up by her granddaughter, "You're not afraid of getting a sore throat by eating so much."

Yuwen swallowed the last orange slice and said, "This year's oranges are sweet."

Zhulan smiled and said, "The results after grafting and improvement are good."

Yu Wen was afraid of getting angry and stopped eating. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and signaled the maid to bring a cup of warm water. "Everyone was guessing who Concubine Chen wanted to matchmake for, but no one thought of the Third Prince."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "If you hadn't gotten the news from me, you wouldn't have thought of the Third Prince."

Yu Wen thought, "It's really surprising."

Zhu Lan said, "Just be clear about this yourself. I estimate that the engagement will take place after the Queen's anniversary."

Yuwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I know what to say and what not to say."

"Well, your father has been taking Gu Sheng with him wherever he goes recently. I heard your father suggested choosing a good day after the Spring Examination. Have you seen Gu Sheng recently?"

Yuwen had never met Gu Sheng before. After her father came back, he was satisfied with Gu Sheng's performance. Realizing that they would get engaged after the new year, he began to find fault with Gu Sheng in every way. As a result, she could not see Gu Sheng, and her father completely separated her from Gu Sheng!

Zhulan saw the look on her granddaughter's face and understood that the father-in-law was becoming more and more dissatisfied with his son-in-law. "Your father is no longer hiding it. Almost everyone knows that he has chosen Gu Sheng."

Yu Wen smiled and said, "Someone has already asked my granddaughter for information."

In the palace, the prince asked, "Lord Zhou, have you decided to make Gu Sheng your grandson-in-law?"

Zhou Shuren knew Changzhi's high profile, "Did the prince also hear about it?"

"Yes, I heard it from Zhuo Guyu."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "After observing Gu Sheng for a few years, I think this kid is a good match for An He who has his own ideas."

The prince still felt it was a pity for An Heding and Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng was just a man without ambition. He thought so in his heart and said, "Then congratulations to Marquis Zhou in advance."

Zhou Shuren knew in his heart that some people scolded Changzhi while others praised him. At least this proved that Changzhi was capable, and he had the emperor's trust. The only two children became the focus of attention. After Changzhi came back, some people tried to test him. Fortunately, Yuwen had already taken a fancy to Gu Sheng, and Mingjia had also taken a fancy to Miss He.

After finishing his work, the Emperor saw the Crown Prince and Shu Ren chatting. He knew what they were talking about and smiled, "Time flies. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Zhou Shuren also sighed, "Yes."

The emperor thought that his grandson must grow up quickly, and he wished he could be four years old right away.

Zhou Shuren took the opportunity to tell Mingjia about the meeting between the He family and said, "We are just waiting to go to the He family to propose marriage."

The emperor's eyes lit up a little, "The He family is not bad."

Why didn't he think of the girl from the He family? She would be a good candidate for the fourth son's imperial concubine.

Zhou Shuren took one look and said hurriedly, "The woman I am looking for in your grandson is the legitimate daughter of the He clan leader."

The emperor nodded to show that he understood, but in his heart he wanted to ask if the He family had any other daughters. Alas, his mother and the empress were gone, and he had to worry about the children's marriages himself.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren went home and told the He family about his proposal. Zhulan said, "Su Xuan has already informed the He family."

"When will you propose marriage?"

Zhulan, "Pick a good day seven days from now."

"It's good to book it early."

Zhulan thought so too. Recently, many people have been asking for information, and a noble family from the south has come to visit, and they have set their sights on Yuwen.

Zhou Shuren has been busy recently and just wants to rest. He hasn't paid attention to his children for a long time. "How are Mingrui and Minghui's knowledge points summarized?"

Zhulan got a headache when she thought of this. "The knowledge scope of the books given by the emperor is too broad. It covers geography and astronomy. It's hard for the two children to summarize them."

Zhou Shuren, "Are they too stupid to ask their fourth uncle?"

I have to admit that there are many academic geniuses in the family, but the most comprehensive academic genius is only Chang Zhi. He, as a father, has not read as many books as his son, and he doesn’t know as much as his son either!

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "They both came to me for help, and I was stumped. I finally handed it over to Chang Zhi. Chang Zhi will give them a one-hour class in the government office soon."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "It's just right to let them know what insufficiency means."

"They are so humble now."

In his heart, Zhou Shuren was still proud of his grandchildren, but he did not show his happiness on his face. Zhulan could tell at a glance that her husband was in a good mood.

As the couple chatted, Zhulan suddenly asked, "The Ministry of Industry is drawing a blueprint for the Royal Garden. Did you know that?"

"Did you hear what Rongchuan said?"

"Yes, Rongchuan saw it when he went to the Ministry of Industry."

Zhou Shuren actually knew, "The Emperor postponed the renovation of the garden due to the Empress's death. He plans to start the construction after the Empress' anniversary. Now he has asked the Ministry of Works to draw up the blueprints first."

It is not easy to design a royal garden, but drawing it in advance can save a lot of time.

Zhulan asked, "I heard Rongchuan say that the garden covers a large area. Have you seen the drawings?"

"I haven't seen it. I hope it can be completed soon so we can have a chance to visit the garden."

Zhulan nodded in agreement. She also wanted to draw it down and save it for future reference and treasure.

Zhou Shuren said with a thankful tone: "Fortunately, the emperor took the money himself."

Zhulan was happy, but she was thinking in her heart that although she had first-hand information, it was a pity that she could not trade stones. The Zhou Marquis Mansion was already very patronizing, and she could not take advantage of it even if there was a chance to make money.

The next day, Changzhong had an appointment with his fiancée. He accompanied his fiancée to buy a birthday gift for his future father-in-law, and he happened to be choosing gifts as well.

Changzhong had breakfast and was about to get on the carriage to go to the Wei family. Butler Ding caught up with him and said, "Sir, this is the purse that the lady gave you."

Chang Zhong understood what was meant and took the purse, smiling, "Thank mother for me."

Steward Ding looked at the sky and said, "Young Master Xue is going out in this weather, so please be careful."

Changzhong, "I see. You should go back and rest earlier too."

"Why."

Afterwards, he instructed the servants and guards to take good care of the young master. Recently, the young masters of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion had been in trouble one after another, and he was a little worried.

Butler Ding waited until the door was closed before turning back to rest. Looking at the Marquis's Mansion, he really wanted to be a butler for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he was too old, and even if he was in good health, he could not compare with the young people.

Changzhong went to Wei's house first to pick someone up. Wei Xinyi happily welcomed her fiancé and blushed at her mother's smile.

The young couple left together, and Feng said to the maid beside her, "They look so well matched just from their backs."

The old woman smiled and said, "It's a match made in heaven."

Feng was very proud. Since she knew Yuan among her future sons-in-law, she would hear a lot of sour words every time she went out. The more she heard, the happier she was. It was useless for them to be jealous because such a good son-in-law belonged to the Wei family.

Changzhong and his fiancée were given two carriages. Even for an engaged couple it was not convenient to ride in one carriage. Even so, Miss Wei felt as sweet as honey in her heart.
