Chapter 1330: Chang Zhi is the most envied person among Zhou family men
Seeing Wen Rong coming over, Ming Yun pulled his fourth uncle and turned into the jewelry shop. Bah, he didn't want to communicate with Wen Rong. Wen Rong treated him as an opponent, which annoyed him so much that he felt uncomfortable every time they met. However, they met quite a few times because of the aristocratic family!
When Wen Rong saw Zhou Mingyun enter the jewelry shop, she stopped and thought for a few seconds before turning around and leaving.
In the jewelry shop, Chang Zhi waited for the shopkeeper to take the bracelet and whispered, "He didn't catch up."
Mingyun: "Yeah."
Chang Zhi's eyes were full of smiles. His nephew really annoyed Wen Rong. "Why did he target you?"
Mingyun was also puzzled. He was not the top scholar, so he did not want to continue the topic. "Fourth Uncle, do you have enough money?"
Changzhi patted his purse and said, "Don't worry, I have more than two hundred taels in my purse."
Mingyun, "......"
He shouldn't have asked, his fourth uncle has always had the fattest wallet among the men in the family!
After leaving the government office, Zhou Shuren went home and saw his wife looking at the account book. "It's not even time to enter the account yet, how can I check the account book?"
Zhulan raised her head and said, "I have nothing to do, so I just check the account book."
Zhou Shuren washed his hands first. It was uncomfortable to wear official uniform in summer. "I'll go take a shower first."
"good."
When Zhou Shuren came out, Zhulan had already collected the account book. Zhou Shuren sat down and ate the iced watermelon, "Delicious."
Zhu Lan glared, "Eating ice watermelon on an empty stomach, I see your stomach feels better again."
Zhou Shuren smiled apologetically, "I'll just eat one piece, no more."
Zhulan signaled the maid to take all the watermelons away, and then said, "Today, the eldest daughter-in-law arranged Yulu's dowry, and I also sent the dowry we gave to the eldest room."
Zhou Shuren finished eating the watermelon and wiped his hands, saying, "In the blink of an eye, the little girls back then have all grown up, and they get married one a year."
Zhulan also sighed, when they first came, the two girls were cute, but now they are both of marriageable age, "There will be a bright future next year."
Zhou Shuren said, "It's not just Mingteng. Jiang Du is not young anymore. The girl from the Jiang family is older than Jiang Du. If they don't get married, who knows what rumors will spread."
Zhulan rubbed her forehead and said, "Yes."
The eldest daughter-in-law and her son-in-law rarely stayed in the capital, so she had no chance to have a good chat with the daughter-in-law about the child's marriage.
Zhou Shuren sighed, "My children are all debts."
A few days later, Xuemei's family was the first to return to the capital. Now the twins followed them everywhere, leaving only Jiang Miao and the youngest Jiang Lei in the capital.
Zhulan looked at the girl who had darkened a lot, "You still remember to come back?"
Xuemei smiled apologetically, "Mom, I brought you a lot of local specialties."
Zhulan snorted. The eldest daughter was getting impatient. "What are your plans for Jiang Du's marriage with your son-in-law? The Jiang family girl is older than Jiang Du. We can't wait any longer."
Xuemei, "Even if you didn't mention it, I was just about to tell you, Jiang Du's marriage will be arranged after the provincial examination. What do you think?"
Zhulan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a similar day to Yulu's?"
Xuemei nodded, "As you said, the Jiang family girl is older than Jiang Du, so we can't wait until the New Year. I was thinking that after the provincial examination, we will go back together with Jiang Du."
Zhulan asked again, "Where's Mu'er?"
Xuemei really didn’t want to marry her daughter off. “Next year, you know Mu Chen, no, now it’s Mu Fan, he also participated in this year’s provincial examination, so that means next year.”
Mu Chen tried to change his name, but because it has the same pronunciation as the emperor's name, he changed it to Mu Fan.
In fact, our dynasty does not shy away from these things, but the Jiang family is more cautious and simply changed them directly.
Zhulan, "When are you leaving?"
"It will take some time to prepare the betrothal gifts. I will leave in about half a month."
"It just so happens that your second brother has also returned to Beijing."
Xuemei was surprised, "Second brother is going back to Beijing?"
"Well, about ten days."
Xuemei was also worried about her second brother. She had nightmares for several days because of Mingshan's death. "I came back at the right time. Now that my second brother is back, I'm not in a hurry to leave. It won't be too late to stay in the capital for a few more days before leaving."
"Just keep it in mind."
The mother and daughter were chatting, with Xuemei mainly talking and Zhulan being the listener. Xuemei was telling them what she had seen and heard along the way. Zhulan couldn't go herself, so she could only listen to the stories. Just as she was listening attentively, Qingxue came in.
"What is it?"
Qingxue said, "Someone from the Ran family sent a letter saying that Master Yun is going to be a father again."
Zhulan heard this and said, "I felt something was wrong with Wan'er a few days ago. It turns out she is pregnant."
Xuemei happily replied, "There have been many happy events in our family in the past two years."
Zhu Lan asked, "Can the Ran family say when they will be back?"
Qingxue replied, "I'll be back in a while."
Zhulan signaled Qingxue to ask a doctor to come over, and then told Li the news.
At the Ran family, Ran Wan sat by the bed. Now that her grandmother was on the floor, she lay on the bed instead. Ran Wan was still a little dizzy, and it took a while for her to feel better. "Grandma, I'm fine."
When Qi heard Wan'er fainted at the gate, she was really scared. How could she still lie still? "You are such a stubborn child. I told you not to come back, but you still came back to be mad at me."
She felt that Wan'er was angry, didn't get enough rest, and was pregnant, so she fainted.
Wan'er, "Grandma, sister-in-law didn't mean it."
She was provoked and spoke without restraint, but she really didn't take it to heart. As a mother, she could understand her sister-in-law.
Qi, "I'll have someone take you back later. Don't come back unless you have something else to do."
Wan'er nodded. Now that she was pregnant, she had to take care of the baby in her belly.
Qi stared at her granddaughter's belly. She and her father were disappointed when Wen Yue was born. It was not because they did not like girls, but because they felt that Ming Yun was the eldest grandson, and it would be better to have a son first. Wan Er's belly had not moved in the past two years. If Yang had not vaguely said that the child was fate, she would have definitely induced the birth.
Now everything is fine. Wan'er is pregnant again. This child is very precious. Qi is no longer angry and is filled with joy.
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren met the Crown Prince after finishing his work. The Crown Prince had not come often in the past two years, but he had taught the Crown Prince a lot. "I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince motioned Zhou Shuren to stand up, "Sir, I have a new master."
Zhou Shuren hadn't heard the news yet. "Congratulations, Prince."
The prince was unhappy because he didn't like his master. "My new master is Master Yan."
Zhou Shuren, "......"
Lord Yan, his surname and temper are the same, he is extremely strict about everything. He understands why the emperor chose Lord Yan.
The prince muttered, "Lord Yan has a particularly bad temper."
Zhou Shuren: "I think it's OK."
The prince's eyes widened. He was being polite when he said "stinky". "Your Excellency cannot be my master?"
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't want to do that. It was fine as it was now. "The Emperor has always believed that I have led Your Highness astray, and you know how much blame I have taken for Your Highness."
Don't you know what you have done? You have been testing the emperor's bottom line, and now you have hit the bottom line. You deserve it!
The prince touched his nose and said in embarrassment, "Father knows that."
Zhou Shuren hummed in his heart. He knew that he was wronged, but it was also true that they were taking the opportunity to exploit him. He suspected several times that these two annoying father and son were trying to trick him!
