Chapter 1291 Unhappy

Zhulan walked into the Countess's hat shop. There were many customers in the shop. At a glance, they were all officials' wives. Some of them were looking in the mirror while holding small hats, while others were choosing accessories.

Su Xuan pointed at the accessories and said, "Mom, shall we go over and take a look?"

Zhulan also likes accessories, which are all delicate and different from jewelry. She reached out and picked up a thumb-sized gemstone hat accessory, "I have to say that the design is quite innovative."

Su Xuan also likes these new products. "Yes, these are all designed by Piaget himself."

Zhulan, "Designed it yourself?"

Su Xuan nodded, "Yes, I heard from her that she made a lot of preparations to open this store. I heard from her that she went to all the jewelry stores in Beijing."

Zhulan looked at the only one of each accessory and asked, "Is this what she wanted?"

Su Xuan smiled, "Well, she said that she is a woman, and women want to be unique. So you see, the hats and accessories in her shop are not exactly the same, they are all slightly different."

Zhulan looked at the hanging hat. Indeed, "She has a good business sense, especially when it comes to making money from women."

Su Xuan agreed, "Every time I see her, she smiles and laughs, so I know it's really easy to make money from women."

Zhulan selected a few accessories and said to Yulu and Yuyi, "Do you two like any of them? If you like any of them, grandma will buy them for you."

Yu Lu pointed to her purse and said, "Grandma, I have money."

Yuyi also hurriedly took out her purse, "I have money too."

Yuyi and her sister live in the capital. They receive a monthly allowance, as well as money sent back by their parents from time to time. Even though she is not as old as her sister Yulu, she should be the richest among the sisters in the family.

Zhulan smiled and said, "This time, grandma will give you the gifts. Grandma will also let Yushuang choose a few."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lu stopped insisting and took her sister's hand to pick out the clearly priced merchandise she liked, without the help of the waiter's introduction. Yu Lu really liked this way of selling, although the prices were not cheap.

Zhulan has a good eye and knows her granddaughters' preferences very well. She quickly selected accessories for Yushuang and the others, all of which are made of gemstones.

Zhulan heard the sound of arguing and thought, this is the only bad thing, it is very easy to argue.

Su Xuan had already looked over and whispered, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family was accompanied by a young girl. The dispute was between this girl and another girl."

Zhulan turned her head and saw that the girl next to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family looked familiar. The other girl was familiar, and the other girl's sister was one of the most popular candidates to enter the palace this summer.

Su Xuan knew them all. "The one next to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family is the second daughter of Earl Wang."

Zhu Lan said, "She just got engaged to Mr. Liu."

"Yes, that's her."

There are so many young ladies in the capital. Zhulan might have seen her somewhere before, so she felt familiar with her.

Zhulan muttered quietly, "The Liu family really looks at background when choosing a daughter-in-law!"

Su Xuan doesn't like the Liu family. She has rejected them all, but the Liu family still won't give up on her.

The argument soon died down, as all the people there were prominent figures, and they all left after a short while.

Zhulan also paid the bill and went to a restaurant to eat. By chance, she met Mingyun and Liufeng on the street on her way home.

Zhulan looked at her eldest grandson and future grandson-in-law. In the blink of an eye, the two children had grown up.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the diplomatic mission arrived. Zhulan did not go to the city gate to see him off. She felt that she was getting old and could not bear to see such scenes anymore. She was also reluctant to see her son go after being away for several years.

Everyone from the second house went to see him off, even the lazy Yuwen went along, which showed how much Changyi was loved by the children at home.

When at home, Changyi is the easiest person to talk to the children. He truly loves his nephews and nieces, and he is generous with his money, so he is the most popular among the children.

At the gate of the capital, Mrs. Zhao looked at the receding troops, the handkerchief in her hand was already soaked. Last night, in order to let her husband go on the mission with peace of mind, she did not cry, but comforted her husband, saying that she and the children would be fine and he didn't need to worry.

Now that her husband was gone, her heart was gone with him. The tears could not stop falling, and in the end she had to hold back her sobs.

When Zhao started crying, Yushuang and Yudie also started crying, and even Mingrui's eyes were wet.

When we said goodbye, the reluctance in my heart burst out.

The children from other families were sitting in other carriages and could also hear the noise from the carriage of the second family.

Yuyi held the handkerchief and said, "I hate parting."

Yuwen was rarely like a normal child, her eyes were red, "I hate it too."

Yu Lu touched the heads of her two younger sisters and said, "So you should give in to Yu Die more in the future."

Yuwen raised her head, "Second sister, are you kidding?"

Yudie doesn't need them to give in at all, sister Yudie is the craziest.

Yu Lu choked. Well, Yu Die’s personality really didn’t need to be compromised.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was somewhat troubled by the job he was doing. After all these years of upbringing, from being unfamiliar with the responsibilities at the beginning to really developing feelings for them, he had already treated the Zhou brothers as his own sons. After Chang Yi left, he, as a father, felt empty in his heart.

Qiu Yan, "I saw that you have been doing normal these days, so I thought you wouldn't be sad!"

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes and said, "I am also a father. Who made me the pillar of the family? If I show my reluctance, how can I support the family?"

Well, put some gold on your face.

Qiu Yan, "A few years actually passed very quickly, in the blink of an eye."

Zhou Shuren remained silent. "I'm really not trying to be rude. Just blink for me and try."

No matter how fast time passes, it will never pass in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Yan had originally wanted to chat with Zhou Shuren, but now he was in no mood to do so. "I have work to do, so I'll be back first."

Zhou Shuren called Qiu Yan, "By the way, the other assistant minister has been confirmed."

"who?"

Zhou Shuren said, "Lord Wang."

Qiu Yan is not stupid. There are only a few people who can become a minister. When he heard the surname Wang, he opened his mouth in surprise, "He, his family has been very busy recently. His daughter entered the palace, ahem."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "I'm just telling you in advance so you can be prepared. Go ahead and get busy."

Qiu Yan left, having tasted something. It seemed that the daughter of the Wang family was bound to enter the palace. Wow, this news was really important. He also felt that Zhou Shuren really had the trust of the emperor.

Zhou Shuren was not happy about the news, yes he was unhappy. If someone who had no connection with the harem came, he could still hope to leave the position of Minister of Revenue. But now someone who had connection with the harem came, which meant that Lord Wang would not be able to stay for long.
