Chapter 1283: Division

In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the Zhou family to move. The night before Zhulan left, she carefully toured the house where she had lived for several years. There were too many memories here.

When they arrived at the new house, Zhulan sat by the window, watching the maids and old women busying around inside and outside. She occasionally moved the flowers in the vase with her fingertips. She felt a little uncomfortable with the new place.

There are still people staying in the old house, watching over the little girls outside. These are newly bought servants. The new house is too big, so they bought a batch of them after the new year.

Zhulan felt that her mentality had really aged. She now particularly liked looking at young girls. She would never buy girls aged eight or nine before, but this time she bought a lot of them.

In the first house, Li was the kind of person who would never feel at ease unless she looked after the house. She was busy watching the servants putting things away, and her voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the courtyard.

Yu Lu had her own little yard. When she came to help after finishing her yard, she saw her mother commanding, "Mom, sit down and have a rest."

Li, "I just can't sit still. I won't feel at ease if I don't keep busy."

Yu Lu looked at the new little girls, who were trembling with fear, and helped their mother sit down. "Then you don't have to follow us. Just sit by the window and watch."

Li was still able to listen to the lady's words. After all, she was tired and could rest for a while. "Have you cleaned up the yard?"

Yu Lu nodded, "It's already been packed."

She doesn't have the same personality as her mother, she likes to tidy up things, so it's easy for her to organize them.

Li drank tea and sat by the window looking at the flowers and plants in the yard. She was very happy and said, "This yard is so beautiful."

Yu Lu also likes the new house. "My eldest brother will be back in a few days."

When Li mentioned her eldest son, her tone was full of pride. She counted on her fingers, "When your eldest brother comes back, we will set a date with the Ran family."

Li has already begun to fantasize about the birth of her eldest grandson, and the thought of it is quite exciting.

Yu Lu knew her mother too well. She could tell what her mother was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help but smile.

In the second house, Zhao was not as busy as Li. She was playing with her youngest son and chatting with her daughter. "Mother has bought you a batch of cloth. It will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Yu Shuang's cheeks turned slightly red. This was the dowry her mother had bought for her. "Mother, this is enough."

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "Silly girl, how can you think the dowry is too much? I will buy more for you now so that your life after marriage will be smoother."

Over the years, she has come to realize the importance of dowry. Look at how comfortable her fourth brother's wife lives. Dowry is their confidence.

Yu Shuang knew that this was the love from her parents, and her eyes turned red.

In the fourth room, Su Xuan has a lot of stuff. Even if she moved in early, there are still a lot of things, so it’s a little busy.

Su Xuan took a moment to notice that the young lady had fallen asleep while rocking in the rocking chair. She couldn't help but pinch the young lady's face. She didn't let go until the little girl opened her eyes.

Yu Wen covered her cheek with her fat hands, "It hurts."

"Get up and move for me."

Yu Wen rubbed her cheeks and got off the rocking chair with a sigh. She felt that she could not achieve her small goal.

In Xuzhou, on Chang Lian's day off, Chang Lian played with his little son, making the little baby giggle. Chang Lian said, "I really want to have two daughters."

Mrs. Dong wiped her son's saliva and said, "Mother said that they should stay in the capital to teach for a few years, and then send them back when Yuyi and the other two have settled down."

Chang Lian no longer mentioned his daughters. It would only be good for them to be with their mother. He hoped that his daughters could learn more of their mother's skills.

At this time, the old woman came in with a letter in her hand. Dong took it and saw that it was a letter from her mother's home.

Mrs. Dong opened it and took a look. "My father finally agreed to divide the family. Take a look."

Chang Lian took it and looked at it carefully, then smiled and said, "It's good to share it."

Mrs. Dong was ashamed because her second brothers didn't get any advantage when Dong Zhan went back. Dong Zhan followed her back to the capital, and her second brothers made a scene. Dad was afraid that the scene would turn into hatred, so he finally divided the family.

Although the letter did not mention the details of the division, she could guess that it must have been very embarrassing and frustrating.

Chang Lian really didn't care about the Yue family. He looked at his youngest son and said, "Son, smile for your father."

Anyway, he trained Dong Zhan, and Dong Zhan attracted the attention of all the people in the Dong family. In the future, the Dong family would not dare to make trouble in front of him. That's all.

After the Zhou family's Qiao Qian Banquet, Zhulan rested for two days before she recovered.

I got familiar with the new place in the past two days and slept well. I thought I would miss something and not be able to sleep, but that never happened.

Zhulan looked at Wang, who came here on her own, "I haven't seen you for a while."

Wang's life was good, why didn't she come to Zhou's house? Because she deliberately didn't come, in order to let her husband beg her. Wang was sincerely grateful and said, "Thank you, old lady, for waking me up."

Zhulan, "It seems like you are living a good life."

"yes."

Now that she is the housekeeper, her mother-in-law no longer cares about anything. As for the concubine, Wang used to hold a grudge against her, but after seeing how her husband treated the concubine, she no longer hated him. She also saw through her husband.

Wang thought of Mingshan and felt very sarcastic. It was too late to regret after losing something.

In the subsequent conversation, Wang talked a lot about Mingshan. Zhulan waited for Wang to leave. Mingshan was no longer in Wang's heart. Now she told her the news about Mingshan to tell her that Wang would keep an eye on Mingshan, and would inform the Zhou family if there was any move that might harm the Zhou family.

Just after Wang left, Su Xuan came back with a lot of things. "Mom, I'm back."

Zhulan smiled and asked, "How is the Countess?"

Su Xuan was in a good mood. "She is quite good at dealing with my temper. She has only been in Beijing for a short time, but she can already communicate with me in simple Chinese."

Zhulan pointed at something on the table, "Did she give it to you?"

Su Xuan nodded, "Yes, some expensive spices."

Zhulan didn't ask what Suxuan and the Countess talked about. She was just curious about the Countess. "What does she look like?"

Su Xuan said, "She looks just like the rumors say, not very pretty. Well, she looks pretty ordinary on the outside."

Zhulan nodded, "You are tired too, go back and rest."

Su Xuan nodded, left some spices for her mother-in-law, and left with the rest.

Two days later, Zhulan met the Countess in person, and Suxuan invited the Countess to her house.

Countess Serbia was petite and ordinary-looking, with green eyes being the only thing that attracted people. She spoke in broken Chinese, "Madam, hello."

Zhu Lan looked at the Countess with interest, "Hello, please take a seat."

Serbia didn't know why, but she always felt very nervous. The old lady in front of her was smiling gently, but she was very nervous, as if she was seen through.

Zhulan also felt it and raised her hand to signal the countess to have a taste of the snack.

Serbia then slowly relaxed. Desserts can make people relax, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Su Xuan took Sylvia away. When they arrived at the garden, the countess's nervousness completely disappeared. She admired the garden and said with emotion, "Su, your house is so beautiful."
