Chapter 1004: Too Honest

Zhulan has always been thinking about Changyi. Changyi is abroad and has only sent a few letters throughout the year. The last letter he sent back said that he was back and would try to catch up with Xuehan to get married, but unfortunately he didn't make it. She took the letter, opened it, and smiled, "He has arrived in Pinggang and is resting there. He will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

Mrs. Song had often heard her mistress talking about the Second Master, so she smiled and said, "The Second Madam should be happy."

"Yes, let the girl go to the second room and tell them."

This is a big happy event in the family. She was afraid that Changyi would encounter pirates when he returned. Now that he is off the boat, she feels completely relieved.

Second House, Zhao was stunned after hearing what the maid said. After a while, she let the maid go back and picked up the little girl who was playing on the ground, "Your father is coming back."

Finally I'm home. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I can feel the feeling of missing you.

Yudie still remembers her father and wants to clap her hands. It would be better if her mother didn’t hold her so tightly. Listening to the wind outside the window, she wants to go out and play!

Ning Marquis' Mansion. After returning home yesterday, Yu felt uncomfortable and her complexion was not good the next day. She had never been to Ning Marquis' Mansion because there were no female members in the mansion. It was always her third uncle who went back to the Duke's Mansion.

After seeing them yesterday, she realized how wealthy the Ning Marquis' Mansion was. The Duke's Mansion was also wealthy. She used to be so close to the Marquis' Mansion, but now she can only watch.

Yu thought of Zhou Xuehan's dowry again and pursed her lips. When she first married into the Marquis's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion did not give all of the betrothal gifts to her as dowry. She remembered that Zhou Xuehan had parents who loved her very much.

Mrs. Du was also in a bad mood. She couldn't help wondering if her father-in-law had secretly given some fortune to her younger brother-in-law. She had been thinking about it over and over again last night but didn't dare to mention it to her husband. Yesterday, she saw the wealth of her younger brother-in-law's house, especially the courtyard where Rongchuan got married. She felt very embarrassed.

Ning Hui was in the study room. He heard the housekeeper say that his wife had a headache, and signaled the housekeeper to go down. The gap between him and his wife became deeper and deeper, and the knot in his heart became bigger and bigger. Thinking of his mother's dissatisfaction, he pursed his lips and coughed softly, and he also It's time to think things over.

On the day Xue Han came back home, Zhou Shuren had to attend the morning court pitifully. His request for leave was not approved. Zhou Shuren stood in the court, and he knew that this was the emperor's jealousy.

Ning Xi was brought up during the morning court session, and Zhou Shuren felt balanced.

Ning Xi is the one that is really hurt. Every winter, I don’t want to get up early. It’s so cold. Unless there is something important, I should sleep in instead of getting up early to attend the morning court!

The New Year is almost here, the Feng family has just been overthrown, and all forces have calmed down. There is really nothing big to do in the morning court, as long as the princes don't cause trouble. But the emperor won't leave during the morning court these two days!

The hall was empty. Even though there was a brazier, it was cold. It was a cold winter this year, so it was really painful to hold court in the morning.

Zhou Shuren despised the emperor's pettiness in his heart, but he was also proud. He was not cold. He was not a person who would not regret freezing to death just to look good. Anyway, he was not cold. Whoever was cold would know.

The ministers in the court didn't know this and thought that the emperor did it on purpose so that they would be more honest and calm in the future.

I finally made it through the morning, and it was snowing outside. The cold wind and heavy snow made me feel really bad.

Ning Xu pulled Zhou Shuren, "Your cape is so long that it's almost dragging on the ground. Let's change?"

Zhou Shuren looked down at his cloak. Bah, he would not change it. His cloak was thickened, and he felt that Ning Xi was attacking his height. "No."

Ning Xu pursed his lips. He was really cold. He didn't wear layers of clothes like Zhou Shuren. "My cape is very expensive. The fur is of the best quality. It's hard to buy outside."

Zhou Shuren turned his head and asked, "Are you showing off your wealth?"

Ning Xu, "...No, I just want to express my sincerity in changing my cape."

Zhou Shuren wasn't actually cold, because he had so much to wear under his official uniform. Looking closely at Ning Xi's cape, he saw that the man was indeed showing off his wealth. "We are relatives, so I think we should change."

Ning Xu laughed. He didn't hesitate at all when he refused just now. Why didn't he think about the fact that he was his in-law? Anyway, the fur was a gift from filial piety, so he didn't feel bad. Well, compared to the prodigal son, he really didn't feel bad. "Then I still thank my in-laws."

"Um."

Peace of mind, "......."

Where is Zhou Shuren’s face?

Mr. Wang originally wanted to talk to Zhou Shuren, as his son had already been scheduled to go to the Ministry of Rites. However, after hearing Zhou Shuren's shameless remarks all the way, the old man stroked his beard, thinking that his son was just too upright.

At Zhou's house, Xue Han didn't see her father, and didn't think much about it. She asked her mother to take a good look at her. "Mom, don't worry now. Your daughter is really fine."

After she gets married, she will be the head of the household. Her father-in-law said that the entire mansion is left to her without asking any questions.

Zhulan smiled and said, "Mom knows you will live well, but I still want to see more."

A girl's growth is accelerated when she gets married. Just after getting married, she already has such an aura. When she was at home, she was the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, with parents and brothers above her. After getting married, she will have to take care of the entire mansion.

Xue Han handed the gift list to her mother, "This is the return gift that Rong Chuan prepared long ago."

Zhulan flipped it open and took a look. "Your father will be very happy."

Xue Han smiled secretly, "Yes."

My father-in-law was too lazy to ask about the return gifts, but my husband told me how these return gifts came about.

Zhulan continued, "Your father-in-law also has several concubines. Have you seen them?"

It would be too fake for Lord Ning to live alone. Although he continued to marry, he still had concubines.

Xue Han, "Mother can't be considered a concubine. In fact, she is just a maid who takes care of her father-in-law. I heard Rongchuan's suggestion. After a few years, I will give her some money and land and let her leave the mansion."

Zhu Lan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "If you encounter any questions in the future when you are in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, you can ask the Duke's wife. The old lady will definitely be happy for you to ask for advice."

Xue Han understood that her mother was teaching her, "Well, I will visit Grandma at the Duke's Mansion more often."

Zhulan smiled, she knew that the lady understood everything immediately.

In the front yard, Chang Lian and his men were ready to welcome Rong Chuan. "Come and sit down. We are waiting for you."

Rong Chuan did not move and continued to sit far away drinking tea. "Third brother, I don't have any money, so don't even think about killing me."

Chang Lian didn't believe it. "How can you be without money? How come you took my sister home as your wife and you took her away?"

Rong Chuan shook his purse, "I have handed over all my money. If Third Brother really wants to rip me off, should I apply for money?"

Chang Lian, "......."

He knew that Rongchuan was willing to be bullied by his sister, but he didn't expect that he would have to hand over money just after getting married!

Changzhi couldn't help laughing, "Third brother, your wish to have more money won't come true."

Chang Lian curled his lips. It was indeed impossible to achieve this. It was not easy to cheat his own sister. He said with regret: "There will be no chance to make a fortune in the future."

Rongchuan, "Can you guys just say this to my face?"

Boss Zhou smiled and said, "Even if we don't tell you, you know it clearly in your heart."

Rongchuan, "......."

The next day, Zhulan did not rest at noon, but waited for her second son to come home. It had snowed heavily the day before, and she was worried about him.

After waiting for a while, Changyi finally arrived home, and he also brought guests back.
