Chapter 1342 Dad is the Best

Chang Yi sat down and nodded, then replied in a low voice, "Yes, the doctor of the Maritime Affairs Department, Shang Wenjin."

Hu Xia was puzzled, "Why are you still concerned about the Department of Maritime Affairs?"

The Maritime Affairs Bureau has been very powerful in recent years and is also the first choice of some noble families when planning for their offspring. Looking at Shang Wenjin's age, he was a little confused. Which company is Shang Wenjin?

Chang Yi had already ordered tea and motioned for Hu Xia to have some snacks. Hu Xia had a lot of questions but no answers, so he could only pick up the snacks and listen to what was happening next door.

Chang Yi listened to the noise next door. Normally, no one would dare to eavesdrop through the wall, but Rong Enqing was obviously not afraid of being eavesdropped, otherwise he would not have chosen the half-open box.

Rong Enqing suspected that he had heard wrongly, "Huh? What did you say?"

Shang Wenjin said, "I have a daughter at home who is of engagement age."

Before he could finish his words, Rong Enqing interrupted him. This time he really heard clearly. He began to reflect on himself. After becoming the Marquis of Qingxian, he was indeed not doing his job properly, but he never showed any interest in women. Why did everyone think that he should have more concubines?

Changyi choked on the tea in his mouth, so he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly to avoid attracting attention. His eyes were wide open. It was useless no matter how powerful Mr. Shang was, he couldn't discipline his son. If Mr. Shang and Mrs. Shang knew about this, they would be so angry that they would die.

Hu Xia was a little stunned, and whispered, "A concubine's daughter?"

Chang Yi recalled, "The legitimate daughter."

The second branch of the Shang family has only one legitimate daughter, but two illegitimate sons.

Hu Xia, "......"

He would never let his legitimate daughter become a concubine. No, he would never let his concubine's daughter become a concubine, no matter whether she was a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter. Even though he had concubines in his family, he never wanted his concubine's daughter to become a concubine.

How could the male owner not know how his concubine lives?

Changyi was so disappointed that he was secretly glad that he didn't get married. He couldn't even drink tea.

Rong Enqing stood up angrily, "This Lord respects and loves his wife. This Lord has sons and daughters, so he does not need concubines."

After saying that, Rong Enqing walked out and saw Chang Yi. Rong Enqing's face became even more embarrassed, and he walked over with a bit of depression, "When did you come?"

Chang Yi smiled, "I heard it all."

Rong Enqing, "......."

Sadly, he is not a lustful person.

Shang Wenjin was even more embarrassed as he actually met the second son of the Zhou family. He left quickly with a blushing face.

In the evening, Chang Yi told his parents what happened today. Chang Yi sighed and said, "Mr. Shang left without caring about his son. This child has grown up to be extremely crooked."

Zhou Shuren glanced at him and said, "Now you know that your father is good to me."

Chang Yi smiled, "Yes, Dad, you are the best."

Chang Yi added, "In recent days, I have invited many people to my son's office to select people for the diplomatic mission."

When they were the first group, they hid whenever they could, but this time when they saw the benefits and advantages, they all rushed over in a swarm, and he was a little tired of dealing with them.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Now is the time to test you. Whether you can reach the fourth rank in the future is crucial now. The emperor will throw a difficult problem to you, and he will keep an eye on you all the time."

Don't think that everything is over once you get a promotion; the real test is how to stay in the position.

Changyi is under a lot of pressure. Choosing the right person is very important. It is also important to balance the power and not offend anyone. "My son understands."

Zhou Shuren saw that it was still early, so he said to his wife, "Changyi and I will go to the study to chat for a while."

Zhulan flipped through the book without looking up, "Okay."

There is a small study room named Zhulan in the main courtyard, which is mostly filled with books and paintings of his daughter-in-law. There are not many things of Zhou Shuren.

Changyi rarely comes to his mother's study. "How could my mother have collected so many books?"

Zhou Shuren did not explain. Many of them were sent from the palace. The knowledge points sorted by his daughter-in-law had been sent up, so there were more and more books in the house. Zhou Shuren motioned his son to sit down and explained all the family grievances he knew in the capital. If used properly, it would be a powerful weapon that could solve many problems.

The next morning, Li came to the main courtyard and said, "I'm going to have a wife. Look, I'm going to my wife's house the next day."

Zhulan, "I think you should be happy. You will have two daughters-in-law."

Li is indeed very happy. "In a few years, when a bunch of children gather around me and call me grandma, my daughter-in-law will be so happy just thinking about it."

Zhao was jealous. His son hadn't even found a husband, but his eldest sister-in-law already had two daughters-in-law. The only consolation was that his daughter-in-law was already married and would soon have grandchildren.

In Zhoujia Village, Jiang Jia Mu Lan carefully touched her wedding dress, the curve of her lips becoming bigger and bigger, she was finally going to get married.

Dong Yiyi saw the wedding dress as soon as she came in. The wedding dress had been prepared for a year. During this year, they said that they didn't care, but in their hearts they hoped to get married earlier. The daughter-in-law was older than Jiang Du, and even if she was friendly to the Jiang family, there would be people in the village who would talk about her.

Mu Lan raised her head, "Mom, are you done?"

Dong Yiyi smiled and nodded, and handed the dowry list to the young lady, "This is the newly revised dowry list, take a look."

Mu Lan held the dowry list in her hand and said, "Mom, don't take everything away from me. My brother is going to get married too."

Dong Yiyi said, "I'm ready."

In the past two years, her father has been compensating her vigorously. She didn't want to accept it at first, but then she thought that she couldn't avoid it. As long as her surname was Dong and she was beneficial to the Dong family, she couldn't avoid it. After careful consideration, she accepted the compensation.

Otherwise, she really couldn't afford a good dowry and betrothal gift. After her son and daughter got married, she and her husband would live their own life. Her husband would receive a pension, and there would be some land in the house for their expenses.

Mu Lan carefully packed up the wedding dress. The material was sent by Aunt Zhou.

In the capital, the benefits of a tanned face are so great that you can’t even blush. “I thought the hairpin suits you, so I bought it. Do you like it?”

Liu Jia's fingertips felt hot as she held the pin. The pearls on the pin were very large. "What a waste of money. It must have cost a lot of money."

Ming Teng's ears turned red. "The hairpin suits you, the silver is not important."

Look at these generous words, Mingteng is really not short of money. Not counting the annual industrial income under his name, he gets a lot in rewards alone.

Liu Jia hooked her fingertips and finally swallowed the words on her lips. It was not appropriate to say it now, "Yeah."

Ming Teng left after a short while because he still had some work to hand over.

Liu Jia put the pinhole in the jewelry box. She didn't care whether the pinhole was expensive or not. She cared more about the thought. Ming Teng cared about her and paid attention to her preferences. Because of her dowry, her family had not bought her the jewelry she liked for a long time.

The second sister-in-law came in and said, "She's back to life."

Liu Jia's face turned even redder. "Second sister-in-law."

Ning Ting smiled and said, "Ever since Ming Teng left the capital, you have been distracted. Now that he has come back, your soul has returned, but your heart has flown away again."

Liu Jia stared at her second sister-in-law's belly and said, "Wait for the baby to be born."

Ning Ting laughed even louder, "My child is born, and you are married."

Liu Jia's face turned pink, "Second sister-in-law."

At Zhou's house, Zhulan handed the post she received to Zhao, "Take a look at the post."
