Chapter 1836: Read more, do more errands

As the autumn harvest began, the newspapers were filled with news related to the harvest, reporting on the yields of high-quality crops grown in various places.

Autumn harvest means Changzhong is getting married, and the Zhouhou Mansion has already begun preparing for the wedding. As the wedding day draws closer, the mansion is filled with joy.

Changzhong moved from his yard to the study in the front yard, and could only move back in after the yard was renovated and he got married.

Zhulan personally arranged the marriage for her youngest son, with Li helping her.

That evening, Zhou Shuren came back and saw his wife holding a menu. He took a closer look and saw that it was the wedding banquet menu. "Have you decided on the menu?"

"I'm back."

Then he sat up and said, "Well, it's settled. Can you take a look and give me some advice?"

Zhou Shuren was in no hurry to change into his official uniform. He picked up the menu and looked at it. "These are all dishes with good meanings."

"Yes, I hope Changzhong will be happy all his life."

She didn’t know if she would be able to see Changzhong have children, so she could only wish her youngest son the best all the time. . .

Zhou Shuren put down the menu. "The menu is perfect. I have no comments."

As he said this, he stood up to change into his official uniform, and when Zhou Shuren came out, dinner had already been served.

Zhou Shuren sat down and asked, "Is there anything else that hasn't been decided about Changzhong's wedding?"

Zhulan passed the bowl of soup over and said, "We have some porcelain for the wedding banquet that we haven't decided on yet."

Zhou Shuren asked, "All new ones?"

Zhu Lan nodded, "Yes, it will be sealed up after the wedding banquet and will be used when Changzhong's child gets married."

"You think far enough."

Zhulan signaled all the maids in the room to go down, and when only the couple were left, Zhulan said, "I don't know how long I can live, I want to prepare more for the children while I'm still healthy. Changzhong means something different to us, so I can't help but think more about him."

Zhou Shuren was very worried about Zhulan. Zhulan's health was not as good as his. He held Zhulan's hand and said, "I support you no matter what you want to do."

Zhulan continued, "I want to use Changzhong's marriage to clean up the warehouse and give the corresponding shares to my sons, and then divide the family property among them in the future."

Zhou Shuren, "Will it be too hard?"

He knew how much stuff was stored in his own warehouse. There were too many things and it would take too much time to reorganize them.

Zhulan has her own idea, "I'd better sort it out now while I'm feeling well so it will be convenient in the future."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he changed the subject abruptly, "The Third Prince is getting engaged."

Zhulan followed Shuren's instructions and asked, "Did the emperor tell you?"

Zhou Shuren said: "Changzhong entered the palace today and saw the imperial decree granting marriage."

Zhulan: "And then I told you?"

"Don't worry, Chang Zhong knows what to say and what not to say. The Third Prince and Miss Jiao have known everything they need to know after meeting him."

Zhu Lan suddenly said, "The Second Prince should be happy, because the Third Prince's wife is from a lowly family."

Zhou Shuren, "I don't know whether he is happy or not. The Second Prince must be jealous of the Third Prince."

"Um?"

"Along with the imperial decree, there is also a palace awarded to the Third Prince."

Zhulan had long heard from Shuren about the Duke's Mansion's ownership, "The Third Prince is having a happy occasion."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The Emperor has already made the decision, but has not issued an order yet. Now the Third Prince is in charge of the garden construction and is doing a good job. It is a good omen for us to have a double happiness."

"It's also meant to warn the Second Prince. If he does his job well, he'll get a reward."

Zhou Shuren, "By the way, the Third Prince has a very good reputation in the Ministry of Works. The Minister of Works has mentioned to me many times that the Third Prince is down-to-earth."

In obvious contrast is the Second Prince, who is so troubled that even the Minister of Rites is about to die.

Zhu Lan said: "The Third Prince is not young anymore, and it won't be long before he gets engaged and married."

"Um."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before Changzhong's wedding. The family had a reunion dinner. The Zhou family had a new baby, so the reunion dinner was full of joy.

Chang Yi smiled and said, "Tomorrow you will be married. I'd like to offer you a drink. You can drink tea instead of wine to avoid drinking too much tonight and missing the auspicious time tomorrow."

Chang Zhong's ears turned red, "Second brother."

Chang Yi laughed and said, "Come on, brother toasts you."

Changzhong did not drink tea instead of wine. He could drink quite a lot. "Brother, please."

Boss Zhou didn't propose a toast, but signaled me to eat more, because I would be busy with a wedding banquet tomorrow and not have to think about having a good meal.

Chang Zhi said with a heartbroken look, "You are just my brother. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even get three days of the five-day wedding leave."

Changzhong ignored his fourth brother's words. The Hanlin Academy had compiled several books, which were now being promoted nationwide. He thought he could take a break, but his fourth brother wouldn't let him go!

Zhou Shuren glanced at Chang Zhi, and Chang Zhi shut his mouth.

The family finished their meal very late, and when only Zhulan and her husband were left in the main courtyard, they went to bed early in order to get up early the next day, but they were so excited about their son's wedding that they couldn't sleep.

Zhou Shuren said: "Fortunately it's my son."

Zhulan agreed, "Yes."

Changzhong has different meanings. Fortunately, he is a son. If he were a daughter-in-law, they would not be willing to marry her off!

The couple chatted for a long time before they fell asleep in a daze. Zhulan slept uneasily. She had a dream in a daze. The dream was bizarre, like a time tunnel. She wanted to see her surroundings clearly, but the scene around her was distorted.

Zhulan wanted to grab something, but then she heard Shuren's panicked voice. She opened her eyes and saw candles lit in the room. "I seem to have a nightmare."

Zhou Shuren's back was soaked. No matter how he called out, Zhulan couldn't wake up. "You scared me to death."

Zhulan was a little thirsty, "I want to drink some water."

Zhou Shuren then let go of his hand and went down to pour water. He handed a cup to Zhulan and drank several cups himself. The cool water suppressed the irritability in his heart. After confirming that Zhulan didn't want to drink anymore, he asked, "What did you dream about?"

Zhulan felt a headache. "I dreamt of many scenes, but I couldn't remember them when I thought about them carefully."

Zhou Shuren reached out his hand to rub Zhulan's forehead, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhulan's brows relaxed. "Much better. I must have been too nervous about my son's marriage."

Zhou Shuren nodded, and after a while he saw that his wife fell asleep again, so he didn't dare to sleep anymore.

It was not until dawn that Zhou Shuren closed his eyes for a while. When he heard the voice, he opened his eyes. Seeing that Zhulan looked healthy, he felt relieved. "I'll get up too."

Zhulan didn't have any dreams in the second half of the night, "You should sleep a little longer."

Zhou Shuren really needed to rest, "Call me when breakfast is ready."

"good."

Half an hour later, Zhulan and Shuren had breakfast and changed into festive clothes.

Today is Changzhong's wedding day. Changzhong first comes to the main courtyard to pay a visit to his parents, and then goes to welcome the bride when the time comes.

Marquis Zhou's youngest son is getting married. Today many people are waiting in the streets to watch the excitement. The guests at Marquis Zhou's mansion are all distinguished persons.

Except for the Fourth Prince who came for Changzhong, the Second Prince and the Third Prince also arrived today.

Boss Zhou entertained the second prince and the third prince. The second prince was very dismissive of the third prince, while the third prince was indifferent.

Boss Zhou, "."

The second prince said in a sinister tone, "Can you also teach my brother how to please our father?"

The Third Prince, "Read more, do more errands, jump around less, and be less annoying!"

Boss Zhou, "!!"

Is the third prince so upright?
