Chapter 1398: Remembrance

The next day, Zhou Shuren went to court and did not wait for Mingteng and his wife to offer tea. Zhulan gave them the prepared gifts, and they looked very satisfied.

Zhulan tea was also drunk. Feeling sorry for Liu Jia who had walked a long way in the morning, he said to Liu Jia, "You don't have to accompany me. Go back and rest."

Liu Jia's face turned red and she didn't know how to start talking.

Ming Teng was very thick-skinned, "Grandma, let's go back and rest first."

Zhulan waved her hand, "Yeah."

Ming Teng pulled Liu Jia out. Liu Jia held back until they got back to her yard. She glared, "We're leaving so quickly, as if it was just for a meeting gift."

Ming Teng, "Grandma doesn't care. She knows you were tired yesterday. Don't worry. Grandma won't think too much about it."

Liu Jia's face turned even redder. "What? Why are you still talking about being tired?"

Ming Teng's eyes sparkled, and she looked fierce and aggressive. "Okay, okay, I won't tell you. Do you want to rest or organize your things?"

Liu Jia was no longer fierce. She did have a lot of things to do. She then said, "I want to go see my sister-in-law and the children later."

Ming Teng, "If you don't feel tired, just go over and take a look. Sister-in-law doesn't really care."

Liu Jia, "I'm not tired, go and do your thing."

Ming Teng also had things to do after his wedding. He couldn't stay with his newlywed wife all the time, so he stayed with her for a while and then went to do something else.

Liu Jia's dowry included a maid and four servants. The courtyard was full of the original servants. Liu Jia did not make any adjustments and planned to arrange the dowry after getting familiar with the situation for a few days.

Liu Jia first arranged for the mother-in-law and two maids to count the dowry, and then she went to see her eldest sister-in-law with the gifts prepared for the children.

When Ran Wan saw Liu Jia, she smiled and said, "You've just gotten married and you're so busy. Why didn't you take a good rest and come see me?"

Liu Jia, "I've finished my work, but I came here thinking about my sister-in-law and the kids."

Ran Wan was happy in her heart. She was still thinking about how to get along with her brother and sister-in-law. This brother and sister-in-law was different. Ming Teng was adopted after all. No one would complain if Liu Jia didn't come today. Liu Jia's coming was a sign of respect for her. "Originally, I should have helped you get married, but I didn't expect Zhixuan to be in a hurry to come out. I didn't help you much with your marriage."

Liu Jia shook her head, "Sister-in-law, don't say that. I heard from Ming Teng that it was Sister-in-law who helped my mother-in-law to keep an eye on the early stages of the wedding."

Ran Wan didn't expect Ming Teng to say this to Liu Jia. She blinked and said, "You two have such a good relationship."

Liu Jia's face turned red again, and Ran Wan's smile deepened. They had just gotten married, and they would not be so shy after a while.

In the imperial palace, Zhou Shuren stayed in the palace and tasted several kinds of convenient food.

The emperor pointed at the noodles and said, "This needs to be cooked. It goes well with salt."

Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes. How should I put it? This was the first time he saw dried noodles in ancient times. In ancient times, people always ate freshly made noodles, and he almost forgot about dried noodles. Now he felt very familiar with them. He ate them a lot in modern times.

The Emperor smiled and said, "I ate it a few times when I was in the war, but the food was scarce back then. After I became the Emperor, I never ate it again. I only remembered it when you mentioned the convenient food."

Zhou Shuren took the small bowl and took a bite. It tasted familiar. Although the flour in ancient times was not as white as the modern flour, the taste was not much different. He really missed the days of eating boiled noodles with pickled vegetables.

The emperor is a man of sharp mind. "Have you eaten Shuren?"

Zhou Shuren, who has an ancient body, has never eaten this. He has been in ancient times for so many years and has servants at home. He eats freshly made noodles. "No, I remember it was recorded in the Tang Dynasty."

The Emperor nodded, "Shu Ren is very knowledgeable and has indeed recorded it."

Zhou Shuren put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Noodles are delicious and convenient, but they are not suitable for military rations. It's okay to improve it once or twice, but it can't be used as military rations for a long time."

The Emperor smiled and said, "I know."

Although he did not interfere in government affairs, he was aware of the country's grain production. High-yield seeds needed to be cultivated from generation to generation, and now the results were very limited. Without high-yield wheat, let alone military rations, the people would not be able to afford much to eat.

Zhou Shuren thought about reminding the emperor and giving him some hints, but then he stopped the idea. He couldn't give hints about everything. If the emperor was willing to study it, then let him study it.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to return to the bride's parents' home. The return gift was not prepared by Zhulan, but by Rong Yuyun himself.

Li was not able to prepare the return gift herself, and she felt a little upset and said, "Today I finally realize the honor of Mingteng's surname."

"I thought you had figured it out by now."

Mingteng got married at Rong's residence, and also stayed at Rong's residence on the wedding night. Mingteng and his wife came over only after meeting Rong Yuyun.

Li, "...Mother is right, I have already realized it."

I have always ignored it, but today I can’t ignore it anymore.

Zhulan, "Regret it?"

Li shook her head, "Mom, I have no regrets. We can't give Ming Teng a better future. Ming Teng has everything he has now because of his surname Rong."

"Yeah, my mind is still clear."

Li was helpless, "Mom, I understand everything."

Zhu Lan thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to treat Liu Jia differently. She is your daughter-in-law after all. You should be a mother-in-law as you should be."

Li was thinking about it in her heart. Now she had a clear idea after hearing her mother-in-law's words. "My daughter-in-law knows."

At Liu's house, Liu Jia got off the carriage and saw his parents, his eyes turned red.

Seeing that her daughter looked in good spirits, Ma finally put her mind at ease.

Liu Jing said to Ming Teng, "Let's go to the study."

Ming Teng's status was different from that of other people, so even if his father-in-law looked serious, he was not afraid and smiled and said, "Okay."

Liu Jing felt frustrated. It was not good to have a son-in-law of high status. It was difficult to act like a father-in-law. He said in a somewhat disappointed tone, "Here."

Ma took her daughter to the courtyard, and when they returned to the house, she asked, "Did anyone bother you?"

Liu Jia, "Mom, just keep your heart at ease, no one will make things difficult for me."

Ma thought for a moment and said, "Your husband is adopted, so you should be more filial to your mother-in-law. You must not make the family into two families just for the sake of adoption."

Liu Jia knew it in her heart. When she met her grandfather, he scolded her, "Mom, I know it in my heart."

"I'm glad you understand. Are the other rooms getting along well?"

Liu Jia smiled and said, "They get along well. Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt are both easy to get along with."

Ma was completely relieved this time, and said with emotion: "The Zhou family's backyard is quiet, you will enjoy a good life after you marry there."

In the study, Ming Teng and his father-in-law sat in silence. Ming Teng sat there for a while and felt a little uncomfortable. "Dad, do you have anything to say to your son-in-law?"

Liu Jing originally had a lot to say, but after facing Ming Teng, the words he had prepared didn't sound right. "Please take good care of Jia Jia in the future."

Ming Teng was silent, thinking about what his elder brother said. Old Master Ran had told his elder brother many times, so he had asked his elder brother for advice in vain. "My son-in-law will treat my wife well."

Liu Jia's two brothers looked at each other and thought, this is a conversation that started off well but ended badly.
