Chapter 1350: I Want a Generous Son-in-Law

In the morning court, Zhou Shuren had a wooden face, but in his heart he wanted to curse Wang Ju to death because of Wang Ju's boasting. Well, Yu Lu had been pregnant for just three days, and everyone knew everything that needed to be known. As a result, both Yu Shuang and Yu Lu got pregnant right after they got married.

If Yu Lu was the only one who was not convincing, with the addition of Yu Shuang, now the two sisters would be very convincing. Although they did not believe it completely, they also felt that the girls of the Zhou family were all good at giving birth.

The Emperor could see clearly from his seat, and felt a little regretful that the girl from the Zhou family would not marry into the royal family. He looked at Lord Shangguan, and thought, well, now that the imperial edict had been issued, the Shangguan family would be blessed with many children.

At the morning court, Zhou Shuren looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away, but he still couldn't stop those who wanted to get married.

The Minister of Industry came over and said, "My grandson is fifteen this year. He has a good talent for studying, has no bad habits, is filial and sensible. Lord Zhou, what do you think of him?"

Zhou Shuren held back his words in response. The Minister of Industry had been on good terms with him over the past few years. "Yeah."

The Minister of Industry's beard puffed up, "What do you mean by 'hmm'?"

Zhou Shuren, "My granddaughter is still young, so there is no need to rush."

The Minister of Industry stroked his beard and said, "It's better to get engaged sooner rather than later. If you wait, there will be no more good boys."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes. The Zhou family did not need an arranged marriage, so some boys from aristocratic families had always been candidates. The Minister of Works was very clear-headed when it came to official business, but he was a bit confused when it came to family affairs. Bah, he must be crazy to marry his granddaughter off to someone else and let him suffer injustice. No deal, no deal.

Zhou Shuren was too lazy to speak and quickened his pace.

The Minister of Industry pointed at Zhou Shuren who was walking away and said to the people around him, "Look at him."

Li Zhao clicked his tongue twice, "I think Zhou Shuren's attitude is fine, but don't you know what's going on in your backyard?"

This old guy is amorous and has a long history. As a result, all the women in the backyard have a place in his heart. Then, things become lively, with a bunch of illegitimate sons and daughters, fighting over everything. But the old guy is still blind and thinks that his backyard is very harmonious!

The Minister of Works blew his beard and wanted to argue a few words, but it turned out that the people around him quickened their pace.

The Minister of Works remained silent, and asked the Vice Minister of Works who was attending the morning court with him, "Is my house really that bad?"

The Minister of Works was speechless. How could he dare to say that? He complained in his heart, how could this young master in the capital not know how badly the young masters in their superiors' houses stepped on each other!

In the Ministry of Rites, Chang Yi was leisurely making tea. After the list of envoys was finalized, he was no longer busy. He handed over the tasks at hand to his subordinates and he only had to keep an eye on them.

"Oh, Master Zhou is making tea. What a coincidence! I just came here to get the tea leaves."

Chang Yi stared at Doctor Liu and wanted to ask who was the most outstanding in the Ministry of Rites. Doctor Liu was on the list. "I have already picked him up. Sir Liu, please take a seat."

Doctor Liu sniffed it and said, "Good tea. I've heard that the emperor appreciated your tea. This taste is worthy of being a tribute tea."

Chang Yi, "......"

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites has many retired officials, which means there are many people who drink tea. He must be smart to bring tea to the Ministry of Rites. This tea is produced by my wife's newly established tea garden.

Changyi thought about it and had to explain it clearly, otherwise he would have to wait, as many people would come to drink tea for free in the future. "The tea produced in our own tea garden may be produced close to the tribute tea, so it smells similar."

Lord Liu, "I thought so."

Changyi's tea is ready. "Try it and see how it tastes."

Lord Liu took it with a smile and tasted it carefully. "Hmm, it's comparable to tribute tea."

Chang Yi, "......"

If the Liu family had not received some tribute tea every year and Lord Liu had indeed drunk it, he would have really believed what Lord Liu said. Bah, the tea from his own tea garden was far inferior to the tribute tea.

Chang Yi has a simple and honest personality, although no one believes that he is really simple and honest. Alas, this time the list is well done, and his personality is a little broken. "Master Liu is not just here for tea, right?"

Lord Liu said cheerfully, "My son, you have seen him too."

Chang Yi recalled carefully that he had indeed seen him a few days ago. "Your second son?"

Lord Liu nodded with a smile, "Yes, this boy is most like me."

Chang Yi, "...similar personalities as well?"

Lord Liu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it looks exactly like me."

Chang Yi's mouth twitched. No, he would not consider it. He wanted a son-in-law like Rong Chuan. Liu Feng would be fine. The Gu family was not well off and could not afford to support him. But there was still hope for a young son-in-law. Even if he couldn't find one, he would not force it. It would be fine even if he tried his best.

The Zhou family, Zhulan and Zhao are discussing Mingrui's engagement. Tomorrow Tao will go to the Lin family to confirm the things brought to the door.

After confirming that everything was OK, Zhulan thought about the name of Yushuang's son. "You haven't decided on the name of the child yet?"

Zhao was helpless, "My husband has suggested many names, but he hasn't chosen one yet."

The son-in-law also came up with many names, but the husband took a quick look and rejected them all.

Zhu Lan was speechless, "The baby is already one month old, it's almost time."

She is a sucker at naming and thinks anything good is fine.

Zhao laughed dryly, "My husband wants to go to the temple to ask a master to take a look."

Zhulan, "...as long as Changyi is happy."

Anyway, he is Changyi’s grandson.

Mrs. Zhao smiled. Ever since her daughter got married, her husband had been very lively when he came back. On the other hand, although her husband had tortured her son-in-law so much, he was not angry. Instead, he looked very happy. This father-in-law and son-in-law were willing to fight and suffer, and she had been worried about it from the beginning, but now she didn't care.

Zhao said, "I heard that Yao Yao embarrassed the second daughter-in-law of the merchant last time."

Zhulan heard Changyi mention it before, "Yao Yao has been keeping a low profile these years, and this time he is determined to establish his authority."

Zhao nodded, "Yes, in the past few years, the Marquis' wife Yao Yao has been in hiding, otherwise the merchants would not be so blatantly thinking about Lord Rong."

Zhulan has gained some good reputation recently because she gave advice to the old lady of the Shang family and also paid attention to Shang Qing. She heard from the old lady that she planned to choose a similar engagement partner from the imperial examination next year.

The next day, Tao went to the Lin family. The old lady of the Lin family was very happy. She thought highly of her granddaughter as the future mistress of the Wang family.

The engagement went smoothly, and then the horoscopes were matched.

The result of the eight characters is very good, and it is also a rare good fate.

When Mrs. Zhao saw the result, she smiled every day. Good marriages are rare, and she liked Miss Lin even more.

Zhulan was also relieved. Mingrui was not in a hurry to get married, and the Lin family was reluctant to marry off their daughter at such a young age. The two families decided to get engaged first and then get married a few years later.

Mingrui is engaged, and his wife is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. This marriage will have an impact on the second branch. It is a rare and good marriage for the second branch. The Lin family has produced Yu Shi for generations, so it is also good for the Zhou family. At least Yu Shi will show some mercy in the future.

There is very little snow this winter. There has only been one snowfall since the beginning of winter, but the wind is very strong and it is dry and cold.

Changzhong and Mingrui both fell ill and were sneezing every day, so they had to rest at home.

Changzhong and Mingrui moved in together. Changzhong ate fruit and looked at Mingrui who was reading seriously. He couldn't help but say, "I say you should take a break too. Take good care of yourself if you are sick."
