Chapter 1346: One's own younger brother must be pampered
Back in the main courtyard, Zhulan felt tired looking at the lady's clothes, "There's no one else in the room, you don't have to sit there all the time, take a break."
Xue Han didn't insist, "When my elder sister comes back, it's time to arrange Jiang Du's marriage."
Zhu Lan nodded, "When your eldest sister has a daughter-in-law in the future, she can follow your eldest brother-in-law everywhere with peace of mind."
Xue Han laughed. Her mother really envied her elder sister. "She is doing well now."
Some people envy the eldest sister, while some people do not. She thinks that the eldest sister's life is worth it. Not to mention her children, which woman in this era can travel around the country like the eldest sister.
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "She has lived a truly carefree life. When she is old and can no longer walk, everything she sees and feels will become treasures for her children and grandchildren."
Xue Han narrowed her eyes, "Mom, Rong Chuan will take me to the south next year."
Zhulan, "That's good."
She didn't want her daughter to be trapped in the capital as the Princess of Qin. It would be a good thing for her to go out and see more.
Xue Han said, "Rongchuan said that the southern ports are developing very fast, and many new and interesting things have appeared."
"Ming Teng has brought back quite a few."
Some handicrafts are becoming more and more diverse, and many emerging industries have developed.
Xue Han asked, "Brother, is there anything I can help you with? Every time I ask my sister-in-law, she always says no."
"Since your second sister-in-law said so, then there is no need. Your second brother can handle it."
Xue Han was also afraid that someone would bully her second brother. Since her mother said so, she was no longer worried. "Is Mingrui's marriage settled?"
"Well, we'll get engaged after Jiang Du gets married."
"Many girls in the capital will be sad this time."
Zhulan was happy, "Our family's face value is considered to be taken care of by someone."
Xue Han was also happy because her family had a handsome child, and she, the aunt, had been asked about by many people!
The next morning, the Wang family was in a courtyard closer to the front yard. This was Wang Wei's courtyard. As the eldest grandson of a great-grandson family, his courtyard was naturally large.
Yu Lu was still a little dazed when she opened her eyes. It was only when she felt someone lying next to her that she slowly realized that she was getting married.
Wang Wei had woken up a long time ago, and when he saw his newlywed wife come back to her senses, he said, "She's awake."
Yu Lu blushed, "Yeah."
It was still early, so Wang Wei held down his wife who was about to get up and said, "It's still early, rest a little longer."
Yu Lu had seen Wang Wei quite a few times in these years, and the two of them were not without feelings. After hearing this, she felt relieved and hummed without closing her eyes. This was because the Wang family had strict rules. She had a mother-in-law, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother above her. The rear house was not as united and loving as the Zhou family, so she had to be in good spirits and not bring shame to the Zhou family.
Wang Wei touched his nose. In the days leading up to the wedding, his elder brother-in-law and the young marquis came to see him every day. Even if he didn't say anything about his grandfather and grandpa, he never thought of bullying his wife.
Wang Wei is not the kind of person who turns a deaf ear to the world outside and only focuses on studying. His eldest grandson received a comprehensive education, and he knows his family's situation. He is worried about whether his wife can cope with it after growing up in the friendly environment of the Zhou family.
Obviously, Wang Wei's worries were unnecessary, as Miss Zhou's reputation in the capital over the years was well-deserved.
Yu Lu was favored by Mrs. Tao and the old lady, and no one dared to bully her because of her family background. Even if Wang Wei's mother was upset, she couldn't find any reason to find fault with her. The only thing she could say was her dowry, which was actually very decent.
Because there are three generations of women above them, Yu Lu remembers what her grandmother said: Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you avoid being passive. Over the years, she has learned a lot about the preferences of the women in the Wang family.
Before she got married, her grandmother gave her more detailed information. She didn't know how her grandmother found out about it, but she also knew about the grudges between the stewards of the Wang family.
This morning, Yu Lu received a lot of gifts and returned to her own yard. Her tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
Wang Wei looked at his wife with amusement, "You don't have to worry about me. I will be back to Xizhou in a few days."
Yulu, "You don't understand."
The relationship between my mother-in-law and my grandmother has indeed eased a lot, but the traces are left and my mother-in-law still remembers it in her heart, which makes it difficult for her as a daughter-in-law.
On one side is the mother-in-law, and on the other side is the grandmother. It’s disturbing just thinking about it.
Wang Wei coughed and said, "If our son had come earlier, my mother would have supported you."
Yu Lu blushed and stared, "In broad daylight."
Fortunately, all the maids were sent away. Thinking about the maid in the yard, the maid she brought with her was the one that grandma asked my aunt to find for her. The eldest sister's maid was also found in this way.
She had more maids as a dowry than her elder sister, but her elder sister didn't need them. She should be thankful that she had such an amazing family. She knew that some of the maids and old women in the original courtyard had been sent away.
This is the sincerity that the Wang family expressed to the Zhou family. This is what the grandfather fought for her. The daughter of the Zhou family is indeed enviable.
In a blink of an eye, it was three days since she returned home. Zhulan was completely relieved when she saw the sweetness between the young couple.
Chang Zhong waited for Yu Lu and her husband to leave, "Mom, don't you want to take a look at the return gifts?"
"Nothing to see. The Wang family values return gifts more than we do."
This return gift is a gesture of attitude towards the Zhou family. She doesn't need to look at it. The marriage between the Wang family and the Zhou family is mutually beneficial. Since the Zhou family's status has changed, it is a great joy for the Wang family. The Wang family will only value Yu Lu more.
Changzhong, "It's so troublesome to get married."
"That's because you were young and it bothered you. Once you have children, you won't feel that way anymore."
Changzhong pointed his finger and said, "I don't want to have as many children as my eldest brother. I just want to be like my fourth brother."
Zhulan snorted, "Your mother has given birth to many children too."
Changzhong smiled apologetically, "That's because my mother is great."
Zhulan, "You are the only one who can speak."
The eldest wife and her husband almost shed tears. They could no longer rely on Boss Zhou, so Mingyun stepped forward.
Wang Wei respects his eldest uncle and keeps his words in mind.
Mingyun took out the materials he had sorted out and his own notes, "This is what I prepared for you."
Wang Wei took it and looked at it. It was so precious. His elder brother-in-law was the real runner-up in the imperial examination. He was almost the first in the imperial examination. His great-grandfather said that his elder brother-in-law lacked some luck back then. His grandfather also told him to learn more from his elder brother-in-law.
Mingyun thought to himself that he would naturally have to change the way he treated his brother-in-law before and after his sister got married. Now that his sister was married, he wanted his brother-in-law to respect and be grateful to him. He had already won over his brother-in-law, so why would he be afraid that he would treat his sister badly?
Minghui looked at his brother-in-law, who was completely immersed in his emotions and had no idea of his elder brother's thoughts.
Ming Teng also took out a copy, "I didn't participate in the imperial examination, but I found some of my uncle's notes from his early years for you. I hope it can help you."
Wang Wei was about to be overwhelmed by happiness. There was also the Prince of Qin, who was also a genuine third place winner in the imperial examination.
Minghui twitched his lips. Uncle Wu Ming was not in the capital, otherwise there would have been an extra top scholar. His family was really awesome. No wonder many children from aristocratic families in the capital were racking their brains to become disciples of their third and fourth uncles.
Minghui is his younger brother so he doesn't need to prepare anything. Mingjing continued to eat his snacks, as if the conversation in front of him had little to do with him.
Minghui looked a little worried when he saw his younger brother, but then he thought that what his mother said was right. Mingjing had several powerful brothers, so it would be nice for him to live an easy life.
Minghui picked up the snack beside him and handed it to his brother, "Have another piece."
Ming Jing smiled sweetly, "Thank you, brother."
Minghui was too soft-hearted to be true, so he naturally had to pamper his younger brother, "Be good."
