Chapter 1022: Miscarriage
The next day, in the second room of the Zhou residence, Changyi got up early and carefully touched the official uniform until his wife woke up.
Zhao opened her eyes and was startled to see a figure. The light in the room was dim. She looked carefully and saw that it was her husband. "When did you get up?"
Chang Yi didn't sleep for long last night, but he was still in good spirits. "I've been up for a while. Why are you up so early?"
Zhao sat up and said, "I want to iron your official uniform, so I got up."
Her husband brought it back last night but she hadn't worn it yet. Today was her first day wearing the official uniform and she had been thinking about it the whole time.
Chang Yi smiled, "Just let the girl do it."
Zhao had already put on her shoes and shook her head, saying, "This is the first time you iron clothes, I'll do it. I'll leave it to the maids in the future."
Today the meaning is different, He is coming in person.
Chang Yi sat aside, "Okay."
Half an hour later, Chang Yi washed up and put on his official uniform. His daughter-in-law and son were already waiting in the hall. Chang Yi shook his sleeves and said, "Dad, how about I wear the official uniform?"
Yu Shuang was calm, but also excited. Her father had become an official, and the second house had been changed. Although her father was a bit burly and didn't look good in the official uniform, in her eyes, "this suit suits her very well."
Mingrui smiled, "Dad, you look the most handsome today."
Chang Yi knocked his son on the head and said, "Are you praising your father or slandering him?"
He has nothing to do with Jun.
Yudie pointed at her brother and sister and said, "You are both right."
Zhao burst out laughing and kissed the young lady, "You are the best."
Chang Yi was in a particularly good mood, still excited from yesterday. "Let's go, let's go eat. I have to go to the Ministry of Rites later and can't be late."
By the way, [Source Changer APP] is really good and worth installing. It is even supported by Android and Apple phones!
Mingrui watched his father's brisk steps, and looked up at the light rising in the distance. That was great. The second house would be even better in the future.
After the morning court session ended, Zhou Shuren walked out slowly. Li Zhao came over and said, "Congratulations, Lord Zhou."
Zhou Shuren has heard too many congratulations today. "Thank you."
Li Zhao whispered, "You are the most impressive person in the capital. How many cups of tea do you have, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Shuren looked at Lord Li and chuckled. Without giving Lord Li a chance to grab his official uniform, he walked forward quickly, trotting, and soon ran to the front.
Zhou Shuren cursed in his heart, it was all a trick, they would definitely talk about money later, crying poverty would be of no use now.
Li Zhao's mouth twitched. He really just wanted to invite Zhou Shuren for tea!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Chang Yi had established himself in the Ministry of Rites with his outstanding performance in translation. Thanks to Zhou Shuren's guidance, Chang Yi studied foreign languages very hard and made good progress.
The envoy left the capital without getting a satisfactory response and had to wait for the next round of negotiations. This round trip would take nearly a year, and everything had to be postponed to next year. This was the emperor's way of procrastinating, to buy time for the navy and future officials on diplomatic missions to prepare.
Zhou Shuren knew that the emperor secretly sent experts to draw foreign ships. When Zhou Shuren was chatting with Lord Fang, Lord Fang lamented that the drawings were delayed a lot. He also saw the drawings in the government hall. The emperor would only leave traces if he often looked at the corners. The emperor was very concerned about the gap.
Zhou Shuren didn't dare to say anything, nor did he say anything more. The emperor was now very aware of the crisis, and he didn't need to say more and reveal more of himself.
At Zhou's house, Zhao came back from Huxia. Zhulan asked with concern, "Did you see Liu Feng?"
Zhao nodded, "I saw that Liu Feng is in good condition and assured me that he has confidence in tomorrow's exam."
Zhulan, "With Lord Hu and Lord Gu here, there is really nothing to worry about."
Zhao knew that she was worried about her future son-in-law taking the exam. This was a big deal, and it affected her daughter's future. "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of something that might happen."
The competition in the capital was too fierce. She knew that many children of officials participated. She was afraid that something might happen to Liu Feng. Ever since Liu Feng stopped going to the academy and stayed at home to study, she had told Mrs. Hu that she should stay at home if possible.
Zhulan didn't really pay much attention to Liu Feng's child exam. It was Zhao who kept saying that she was the one who paid attention to it. She could recite all of Zhao's words by heart. She didn't want to talk anymore and just listened quietly.
Zhulan watched Zhao's expression. Since Changyi became an official, even though he was an eighth-rank official, Zhao had changed a lot. He became more energetic and more and more confident.
Zhao felt embarrassed when her mother-in-law looked at her, "Mom, why do you look at your daughter-in-law like that?"
"Nothing, I just think you look prettier."
I used to only have good looks, but now I have more confidence and am beautiful from the inside out.
Zhao touched her face and couldn't help but smile sweetly. Her husband had said so, but she had been looking at her face and hadn't noticed. Now her mother-in-law also said so. Women love beauty, and she is no exception. "Mom, have I really become more beautiful?"
"Yeah, it's getting prettier, and it's getting prettier the more I look at it."
Mrs. Zhao was a little shy. She thought that if everything went well this year, she should be able to have a baby. Thinking of having another child in the second wife's house, Mrs. Zhao had already forgotten about her son-in-law.
At this time, the housekeeper came in quickly, looking a little panicked, "Madam, the young lady is pregnant, and someone from the Ninghou Mansion is here to ask you to come over."
Zhulan stood up suddenly, her eyes a little dark from the excessive force. She paused for a while without changing her clothes, "Let's go to Ninghou Mansion."
Zhao followed quickly, "Mom, I'll go with you too."
Zhulan waved her hands, "I can go by myself."
Zhao listened to her mother-in-law and could only wait for news at home with worry.
Zhulan left the mansion and got on the carriage of the Marquis's mansion. At this moment, she didn't have time to care about how luxurious the carriage was. She asked the maid, "Why did you get pregnant when you were fine?"
The old woman dared not say a word. As it involved the Prince's Mansion, she could only remain silent.
Zhulan stared at the old woman who remained silent, and her heart skipped a beat. This must have involved an important person, otherwise she would not have remained silent.
The carriage from the Marquis's Mansion was very fast. When it arrived, Zhulan went straight to the lady's yard. When she entered the yard, she could still smell the scent of boiled medicine. When she entered the house, she saw the imperial physician talking to the Ning Marquis.
Zhulan hurriedly greeted him, and then without waiting for the master to say anything, she stood up and quickly went into the inner room. When she saw the lady lying on the bed drinking medicine, she ignored her pale face and was in good spirits. She carefully sat over to her and asked, "Why did you suddenly get pregnant?"
Xue Han held her mother's hands, which were icy cold. "I was frightened today, so I had a miscarriage."
There were a lot of people inside, and the old women and maids were all standing.
Xue Han felt better after taking the medicine and said, "You all go down first."
The old woman wanted to say less talk and rest more, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only leave obediently.
Now that no one was in the room, Zhulan looked at the girl and asked, "Now I can tell you, how come you were so fine that you got scared and had a miscarriage?"
