Chapter 1355: Giving Silver

At Zhou's house, Zhulan watched Yujiao and her friends playing in the snow outside the window. Mingteng walked into the yard covered in snow. When Mingteng entered the house, Zhulan said, "I haven't seen you since it started snowing. Look at how frozen you are."

As she spoke, Zhulan reached out and touched Sun Zi's hand, then retracted her hand because it was cold. Sun Zi's hands were icy cold.

Ming Teng rubbed his hands, "He was captured by my uncle right after it started snowing. These past two days, Xu Chen and I have been helping people clear the snow off their houses."

Zhulan poured out some hot tea, "Drink it to warm your body."

Ming Teng moved closer, holding the tea bowl and drinking, "Grandma, has my mother gone to see my sister?"

"Well, your sister wanted to eat some fruit, so your mother brought it to her."

Ming Teng paused, "The problem with big families is that everything is based on rules and regulations, and everything is rationed."

Zhulan patted Mingteng's head and said, "Without rules, there is no order. The Wang family has been passed down for a long time because of strict rules. Moreover, there is no restriction on private purchases. As long as you have money, no one will interfere."

Ming Teng drank his tea and muttered, "How much money does my brother-in-law have? He still has to rely on his monthly salary to make a living. Don't spend my sister's dowry money."

Zhu Lan rolled her eyes, "Don't complain, Wang Wei's elders would secretly give him money. What's more, Wang Wei relied on monthly salary. After Wang Wei got married, he got some property."

Although it's not much, she thinks this is a good thing about the Wang family. Every son will get some property after getting married. Of course, whether these properties are accumulated or lost is their own business and the elders will not interfere. The Wang family did not give much property, and the main purpose was for training.

Zhulan didn't know whether Tao secretly gave money to Wang Wei when he got married, but she was sure that Wang Wei, the eldest grandson, would not be short of money.

Ming Teng ate some snacks, "Sun'er will pack his luggage soon. Tomorrow he and Xu Chen will go out of Beijing to inspect the nearby villages to see if there are any collapsed houses, etc."

Zhulan was very pleased, "You can stand on your own now."

Ming Teng smiled and said, "Of course, your grandson is amazing!"

Outside the capital, Zhou Shuren and his party had not rested at all, but they still could not reach Jinzhou City by noon. In order to hurry and not rest, they could only eat something in the carriage to fill their stomachs.

Zhou Shuren opened the box and took out the pastries prepared by his wife. There was a hot water bag in the box so the snacks were still warm, as well as hot milk tea, white porridge, a few small pickled vegetables and some meat floss.

The focus is on the meat floss, which comes in pork and fish varieties. It tastes delicious when sprinkled on the porridge.

While the prince was stunned, Zhou Shuren was already drinking the porridge happily.

Lord Yan looked down at the snack in his hand and seemed unable to eat anymore.

The prince naturally made some preparations for his trip, but this time he kept it simple and only brought a lunch box filled with some convenient snacks.

Zhou Shuren naturally felt the gazes of the two people, but he pretended not to see them and continued to drink his porridge. Silence could help him keep his food, so he was determined not to say a word.

The prince was too embarrassed to ask for it, so he ate the cake in his hand. Lord Yan also quickly finished his snack and closed his eyes to rest, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

Zhou Shuren finished eating and started to clean up. The prince felt that the carriage was a little too silent, so he said, "I haven't seen any disaster victims rushing to the capital along the way. The measures taken in recent years to deal with the disaster have been very effective."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard. Whenever there was a disaster, the victims would go to the capital because the capital was the national capital and they would not watch the people die. Zhou Shuren was proud. Look, he had changed a lot and saved many people.

Lord Yan opened his eyes and said, "Lord Zhou has made great contributions."

Zhou Shuren waved his hands, "Don't take all the credit for me. The perfection of the court's disaster relief system is the result of everyone's efforts. It can't be accomplished by one person alone."

Lord Yan had a smile in his eyes. He was a strict person and didn't like anything too extraordinary. Zhou Shuren had broken many rules along the way. He didn't like it from the bottom of his heart at first, and simply ignored him when he met him in court. As time went by and he got to know him better, he changed his opinion of Lord Zhou. Some people's abilities can indeed break the rules.

The next day, Wang Wei bought some fruits and sent them to Zhou's house. Mingteng felt sorry for his parents and asked someone to go and buy some.

Mrs. Li said cheerfully, "My son-in-law is just too polite. I said I had enough fruit, and look, my son bought some for me."

Zhulan, "We've said this many times. We all know that you are blessed. Your sons and sons-in-law are filial and obedient."

Li was grinning happily, but in her heart she was a little afraid of her son-in-law. Why? She was afraid that her son-in-law would look down on her. She was happiest when her son-in-law took the initiative to show filial piety to her, because it showed her respect. Even though she was not from a high-class family, her son-in-law still recognized her as his mother-in-law.

Of course, I am also happier for my daughter, as this is also a sign that my son-in-law values ​​his daughter.

Zhao's eyes were filled with envy. Liu Feng was also filial, but he would not spend a lot of money on gifts because his family did not allow it. However, each son-in-law had his own merits, so the envy in her eyes faded. "My sister-in-law is indeed very lucky."

Li was beaming with joy. It was her daughter's eldest brother from her natal family who came to marry her. Every time he saw her, the eldest brother told her how blessed she was.

Su Xuan moved her mouth but didn't say out her worries. She was worried that when Wang Wei brought the fruit back, someone in the Wang family would gossip about him. But then she thought that Yu Lu was not someone who could be easily bullied, and now that she was pregnant she had someone to protect her, so she felt a lot more at ease.

At the Wang family, Yu Lu was in the courtyard of the great grandmother. The second grandmother said sourly, "When my grandson marries a daughter-in-law in the future, he must find a generous in-law who can send a basket of fruit whenever he wants."

Tao said calmly, "Your sister-in-law's wish cannot be fulfilled. Wang Jing's fiancé's family is not wealthy."

The illegitimate third wife spoke softly, "Yulu, fruits are hard to come by in winter. It would be a pity if you can't finish the basket of fruits and let them go bad."

The old lady was holding her breath, the Wang family didn't have many descendants, and the illegitimate son was carefully raised, and the third son was engaged to a good family, but over the years, the couple in the third room had been getting closer and closer without her noticing.

The old lady was displeased. "Yulu is a filial child. She sent a lot of fruits this morning. I am old and my teeth are not good, so I can't eat much. But this child insisted on sending them. She is really a filial person."

As she spoke, the old lady winked at the maid beside her, who understood and brought out a tray with a set of head ornaments on it.

The old lady didn't care about the expressions of the second and third daughters-in-law. She held Yu Lu's hand and said, "Grandfather, I know you are filial. I will accept this fruit so that no one will think of it. This is the headgear given by the old ancestor to you. Keep it well, good child."

I make you jealous. The more you say I give you gifts, the more I give you.

Yu Lu was not stupid enough to refuse and happily accepted it, "Thank you, ancestor."

She actually likes coming to the ancestor's place very much. Why? Because she benefits. The more the Second Grandma and the Third Grandma act like mischief, the more benefits she, the younger generation, gets. It has not been long since she got married, but she has already gained a lot of benefits, plus she got a fortune because of her pregnancy. Yu Lu's eyes are shining. She is not angry at all about what the Second Grandma and the Third Grandma said. They are giving her money!
