Chapter 1354 Sending Fruit

Changzhong's eyes sparkled. He pointed out that his father had been saying that he would consider it, but he hadn't replied to him for several days, but today he actually agreed. "Really?"

Zhou Shuren was in a particularly good mood when he saw his son. He smiled and said, "Really? When has Dad ever lied to you?"

Changzhong pointed to his head and said, "Dad, I have a good memory. You lied to me a lot when I was little."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "You should think carefully before you speak."

Changzhong froze, "Dad has never lied to his son."

Zhou Shuren nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."

Chang Zhong grumbled in his heart that his father was bullying him, but on his face he was very excited, "Dad, can I really leave Beijing with my brother-in-law next year?"

Zhou Shuren, "Well, Dad will tell your brother-in-law later."

Rongchuan looked at Changzhong and felt relieved. He never wanted to tie his son to his side. Although his son was young, he supported his son to go out for a walk.

Changzhong was very happy, "Then I can go find Brother Wu Ming."

"Your elder brother Wu Ming also misses you very much and will definitely test you when the time comes."

Chang Zhong was not afraid, he raised his head and said, "I won't let Brother Wu Ming down."

Zhou Shuren nodded. Wu Ming had been away from Beijing for a few years. He should be back in one or two years. Touching his son's soft hair, he thought Wu Ming was indeed amazing. He had brought the scattered Xinzhou under control in just a few years. He was a real big shot.

The emperor has valued Wu Ming very much in recent years. He has heard the emperor mention Wu Ming more and more often in the past two years. This is good for Wu Ming and for the Zhou family.

The next day, Zhou Shuren and other members of the prince's troop passed by the mansion. They boarded the carriage and followed the prince out of the capital. This time, Jianyan and Shenxing followed along.

The prince left the capital in a low profile and few people in the capital knew about it. In addition to Zhou Shuren, the prince's new master, Lord Yan, also accompanied him on this trip.

In order to keep a low profile, the three of them left the capital in a horse-drawn carriage. The spacious carriage did not seem crowded with three people sitting in it.

Zhou Shuren was the most conspicuous of the three. He was wearing a thick cloak, holding a hand warmer in his arms, and carrying a wooden portable box.

The prince was very curious about the box, "What's in it?"

Zhou Shuren touched the box carefully with his gloved hands, and the smile on his face became more gentle. "This is the food that my wife brought here because she was worried that I wouldn't eat well."

The prince wanted to open it and take a look, but he was too embarrassed to speak, especially since Master Yan was staring at him, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

Yesterday, the government office in charge of the capital's roads was short of manpower, so it hired a lot of civilians to clean the roads. Outside the capital, you could still see civilians shoveling snow.

Mr. Yan looked through the glass window and asked, "How much money does it cost per day?"

Zhou Shuren really didn't know this. When he saw Lord Yan looking at the prince, he thought, okay, he is asking the prince.

The prince replied, "Twenty cents a day is not enough for food."

Lord Yan hummed, "It's good that the prince pays attention to such a small matter."

The prince thought that he was trained by you. Master Yan's personality is just like his name. He is very strict in everything he does. He hates inaccurate answers the most. He also likes to ask about things that he doesn't notice. Gradually, he developed the habit of listening more and remembering more.

Zhou Shuren leaned against the hand warmer without interrupting. He personally liked Lord Yan's educational methods very much. The Emperor had carefully selected Lord Yan for the crown prince.

Many transactions of the caravans in the capital cannot be delayed. Yesterday, without waiting for the court to take any action, some caravans cleared the snow on the road as they went along. Now the carriages are moving slowly but there is no traffic jam.

Zhou family, Zhulan has lost the motivation to do anything since Zhou Shuren left. This time she is traveling not with the emperor, but with the prince. Following the emperor, she doesn't have to worry about anything, but following the prince, she has to worry about everything.

When Li came in, she saw that her mother-in-law was in low spirits. "Mom, are you worried about Dad?"

Zhulan, "There are some. Are you going out wearing so many clothes?"

Mrs. Li's tone was full of worry. "Yulu has been vomiting since she got pregnant. The pickles I made didn't work. She has been liking to eat fruits recently. The Xu family sent some money and fruits to her a few days ago, but the delivery was delayed because of the heavy snow. Today the snow is lighter, so I will personally deliver the fruits to see Yulu."

Zhulan also ate the fruits sent by the Xu family, which were rare in winter. "I have quite a few here, bring some for Yulu."

Li waved her hands. She and her husband saved some for the daughter-in-law, and she couldn't save any from her mother-in-law. "Mother, it's enough."

Zhulan received a lot of filial gifts, and fruits were hard to come by in winter, so she had no shortage of fruit to eat. She wanted to call Qingxue in, but Li had already run away.

Zhulan laughed. How could she want to be a grandmother?

Mrs. Li ran out of the main courtyard, patted her chest to calm herself down, and then slowly walked out. Her chubby face was a little wrinkled. After her son got married, she found that the things she had before were not enough. She had to give more to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and also had to think about her younger sister. When she was a mother, she didn't feel much, but now as a grandmother, she felt that it was not easy.

The Wang Mansion, the Wang family is not short of money, but the amount of fruits picked every winter is limited. This is the rule. If you want to eat more, you can buy it yourself. Each courtyard will not be given an extra share.

There are many things to do in a big mansion. Yu Lu is of the youngest generation in the mansion and there are elders above her. Yu Lu doesn't want to add to the trouble, so she even refused the fruit her grandmother wanted to give her.

She was afraid that as soon as she picked the fruit, bad words would spread about her, so she ate as much as she could.

Even so, Yu Lu looked at the fruit plate on the table and sincerely wanted to say that the Wang family's portion for the entire winter was not as much as she got in one month at her mother's house.

Wang Wei asked, "Madam, why are you just looking at it and not eating it?"

Yu Lu didn't want to show off her life at her mother's house. Just as she picked up the fruit, she heard the old woman pulling the curtain and stood up quickly, "Mom."

Li glared at him, "Stop right there. Wait for me to cool down from the cold."

Yu Lu saw the basket that was carried in later and said, "Mom."

His eyes turned red. These must be the fruit of mom and dad. Mom would not touch the fruit of eldest brother, nor those of his younger brothers, so it must be saved by mom and dad.

Li took off her cloak and warmed herself for a while before coming over. She took the lady's hand and lifted the quilt covering the basket. "I heard you wanted to eat fruit, so I wanted to give you some. It happened to snow heavily yesterday, so the road was not smooth. Today the snow is lighter, so I specially brought it to you. This much fruit is enough for you to eat for a few days."

Yu Lu, "Mom, I have some fruit here. Even if I don't have enough, your son-in-law will buy some for me."

She wasn't lying; her husband did say that.

Li waved his hand, "We have money, why waste it?"

Wang Wei felt embarrassed. This basket of fruit cost a lot of money. Moreover, it was snowing heavily and the roads were blocked. The price of fruit would increase. He bowed and said, "Mother, it's all my son-in-law's fault."

Li said, "You can't say that. You take care of my wife. As a mother, I love my daughter and there is no conflict. I only have one daughter, so I will think about her in everything."

Wang Wei likes his mother-in-law's temper. Being straightforward is good. Guessing is tiring. "Mom is right."

But in his heart he was thinking about buying some fruits to send to his father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow. As a younger generation, he couldn't let the elders save the fruits.
