Chapter 1100: Moving the Ancestral Tomb

Zhulan took a nap, and Zhao came back. She wiped her face with a handkerchief and looked more energetic. "Have you arranged everything for your two cousins?"

Zhao nodded, "They said that the Zhao family had offended someone, their food was stolen, and there was a natural disaster. These two families were very brave, and they came to Beijing together."

Zhu Lan asked, "What about the rest of the Zhao family?"

Zhao was silent, then said, "We fled in the early years and were very poor. First, my father passed away. A few years ago, they didn't suffer from the snowstorm, but a cold infected several of the elderly. They didn't survive the winter and died. Only their families were left. The two of them were brave enough to go to Beijing, and the rest fled to other places."

Zhulan put down the handkerchief in her hand, "The remaining families will not go to the vicinity of Zhoujia Village, right?"

If one wants to survive and not be bullied, the brave ones would go to Beijing to seek refuge with the Zhao family, while the timid ones who want stability would go to the vicinity of Zhoujia Village.

Zhao thought her mother-in-law was really smart. "I asked them, but they looked away. I guess they went to the vicinity of Zhoujia Village."

Zhulan was not unhappy. This was a human instinct to survive. "But, are they telling the truth?"

Zhao replied, "My daughter-in-law has just sent someone to investigate, and she will give us a reply in a few days."

Zhulan stared at Zhao, "You want to keep them?"

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Well, it's better to keep it under our eyes than not to see it. My husband said that our family should be careful at all times. I always remember it. Let's keep them in the mansion today, and send them out of the city to the farm bought by our second house tomorrow. The farm needs people to grow vegetables, and they are suitable."

Zhulan understood that this meant that they were not allowed to eat and drink for free, but also had to be kept under surveillance. Then she smiled. If they were still in Zhoujia Village, these people would be troublesome. Now the status difference is too big, these people dare not even cheat, and they have to be honest. Now these people are really not in the eyes of the Zhao family, "Yeah."

The small courtyard where the two families of the Zhao family were housed was very small and relatively remote. Behind it was where the martial arts servant lived.

Zhao Dalang and Erlang looked at each other with lingering fear. Zhao Dalang let out a long sigh, "If Qiu Niang hadn't admitted it, I really wouldn't have believed it was Qiu Niang. Her aura just now was really scary, and her eyes were sharper than those of the wives in the county."

Erlang, "That's right, look at the girls and servants along the way, my goodness, they are not the girls who were bullied in their early years."

Zhao Dalang quickly covered his brother's mouth, "Shut up, don't say that."

Several children have already looked around the yard. The oldest boy is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the little girl is about seven or eight years old. The little girl asked, "Dad, are we going to live here?"

Zhao Dalang shook his head, "No, we are going to work at your cousin's farm."

The little girl was very disappointed. "Why can't we live here? It's so big and there are so many people here."

Zhao Erlang looked at his niece and felt regretful. Who could have thought that the girl who was bullied back then would have such good fortune? If he had been nicer to Qiu Niang back then, they would have lived a good life this time. Unfortunately, regret was useless. He could only be obedient. At least he could survive and would not be bullied on Qiu Niang's farm. They were refugees and had been bullied by the locals for years. This time they wanted to rob the girl from their home. If they hadn't been told that Qiu Niang's family was an official, they really would not have been able to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhao Erlang looked at his eldest daughter. She was safe this time. He did not tell the truth. In fact, their two families could have gone to the vicinity of Zhoujia Village, but their two daughters were good-looking. If they did not want this to happen again, they would have the courage to come to Qiu Niang for help.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhulan met with Zhao's family. Both families changed their clothes. Zhulan nodded. Although she did not intervene, she was satisfied with what Zhao did. Zhao treated her family harshly, which was also embarrassing for the Zhou family. Zhou Shuren knew about what happened yesterday when he came back. It shows how quickly the news spread.

Zhulan looked at the girls from the Zhao family. They were pretty good-looking, especially the oldest one who looked a bit like Zhao. "Did you have a good rest yesterday?"

Zhao Dalang replied tremblingly, "Rest, I had a good rest."

In fact, they didn't sleep the whole night. They were very nervous all night, covering themselves with a new quilt and wearing new clothes.

Zhulan looked at the others, and she wanted to lower her head even more. "I heard from Qiu Niang that these are some materials. Take them."

The maid handed over two bundles containing some clothing materials, all of which were materials they could wear. They were bought from the cloth shop first.

Zhao Dalang took it and was about to kneel down in gratitude, but Qingxue quickly held him up.

Zhao came back to her senses from her niece's face. She suddenly guessed how she had offended someone. She was silent for a moment and said, "I'll send someone to take you to the manor. The manor's manager will arrange a place for you to stay."

Zhao Dalang moved his lips and said, "Thank you."

In the Zhou family's carriage, Zhao Dalang's family sat together. Zhao Dalang's wife had already opened the bundles. It turned out that Zhulan had given only cloth, while the two bundles given by Zhao had a few more silver ornaments.

Zhao Dalang's wife touched a few silver ornaments and then put them away. "The two girls I just saw are Qiu Niang's daughters. They are very pretty. Look at their demeanor. Even the daughters of the county lord's family can't compare to them."

Zhao Dalang did not dare to ask, but the maid guarding the yard told him. He knew that Qiu Niang had let them know on purpose to warn them to be honest. "How can they be compared? Qiu Niang's father-in-law is a third-rank official, and her brother-in-law is also an official and has traveled to various countries. They are different, different."

The carriage was quiet in an instant. It was indeed different. The girl who was hiding back then was now in a high position.

Zhao Dalang finally said, "No wonder Qiu Niang was always so polite. Fortunately, I married into the Zhou family. It's all fate."

With these words, there was complete silence in the carriage and no one spoke any more.

In Zhoujia Village, Chang Zhi went to the clan school immediately after hearing the news. When he entered the school, he saw King Liang sitting in the back seat listening to the class. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. Why didn't he look like King Liang?

He didn't cause any trouble and listened to the lecture seriously.

Changzhi did not go in, but waited patiently until the class was over before going in, "I have met His Royal Highness Prince Liang."

King Liang smiled and said, "Why are you afraid of me causing trouble?"

Chang Zhi thought, yes, this is the King of Liang, "It is my duty to take the King of Liang around, but I am late, please forgive me, King of Liang."

King Liang snorted and laughed, "Is your house a den of foxes? They are all very cunning."

You're really good at avoiding the subject.

Changzhi pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "Your Highness, is there anywhere else you want to go?"

King Liang did not plan to continue attending classes at the clan school. He had no intention of attending classes just now. He just watched the Zhou clan teacher teach well, so he patiently listened to a class. "No, take me around."

Chang Zhi sighed in his heart. The coming of King Liang really wasted his time. Fortunately, he had been reviewing continuously, otherwise he would have been in a dilemma.

Prince Liang came out of the clan school and asked, "I heard that your family wants to move the ancestral tomb?"

Changzhi, ".......Yes."
