Chapter 1404 The Best Card

Time flies and it is Zhou Zhixuan's full moon day. Mingyun is the eldest grandson, and his first son has a different meaning. There are many guests at the full moon banquet.

Sitting next to Zhulan were Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Shangjia's old lady. Mrs. Shangjia smiled widely, "I just saw your great-grandson. He is such a strong and blessed child."

Tao was so happy, "Yes, the child is really well raised."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the mother. Ran Wan took good care of the child. Wen Yue has seldom been sick since she was born!"

Ran Wan's grandmother, Qi, continued, "Wan'er has been a careful child since she was young. She helped me a lot before she got married."

Several people surrounded Ran Wan and praised her. Anyone could see how comfortable Ran Wan was living in the Zhou family and how much she was loved by the elders.

The old lady of the merchant changed the subject and invited Zhulan, "My granddaughter will be getting married soon. Please come over then."

Zhulan knew that the old lady of the merchant store was doing this for her granddaughter. She was afraid that her granddaughter would be looked down upon after she left. "Okay, I'll go and share in the joy."

On the other hand, Ran Wan recovered very well from her confinement. Although she gained some weight due to giving birth, her complexion was very good. Anyone who saw Ran Wan could feel her happiness.

Ran Wan's happiness hurt too many people who were unhappy in marriage. Few of the married men of Ran Wan's age did not have concubines, and many of them had maids before getting married.

Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, had been sitting quietly since she came in. Suddenly, she said to Liu Jia, "Your husband has moved out, and you are getting married in the house next door. I never thought you would live in the Zhou Mansion after marriage."

Liu Jia had not interrupted, and Wang suddenly spoke to her. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "We are also adopted children of the Zhou family. If we move in, we will be able to be more filial to our parents."

Wang didn't believe that anyone would be willing to live with her mother-in-law when they could live alone. "You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rong family, but now you have an older sister-in-law to pressure you. Look at what I am saying."

Liu Jia realized that this was an attempt to sow discord between her and her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law's happiness today attracted everyone's attention. She thought about her future self and wondered how many people would say mean things about her.

Liu Jia glanced at the man with the ears raised, with sarcasm in her eyes but a smile on her face, "You mentioned my sister-in-law, I also want to say a few words."

Everyone in the room became excited and looked at Liu Jia.

Liu Jia's smile deepened. "You can tell whether a person is happy or not from their face. My sister-in-law is really happy. Now she has both a son and a daughter. My mother-in-law treats her as her own daughter. My brother is also good to her. I think you have also seen how good her complexion is. She doesn't even need to put on makeup!"

Liu Jia looked around and saw so many people who put on thick powder to hide their haggard looks, especially the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. That was really Xianhui. What was Xianhui's reputation? She was still unhappy.

Ran Wan came in and asked, "What are you talking about? I can hear the excitement from a distance."

Liu Jia smiled, "We were talking about how happy my sister-in-law is."

Ran Wancai didn't believe that these people were sincerely blessing her. She looked into her sister-in-law's eyes and understood. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is the lucky one. Mingteng only has sister-in-law in his eyes!"

Everyone in the house, "......"

It's even more sour, but I have to endure it.

In the front yard, Liu Song sat next to Mingyun and lowered his voice, "I really didn't expect Wen Rong to come. Did you invite her?"

Mingyun, "He came here with his grandfather, not invited by me."

Liu Song thought to himself that this was the case. He thought Wen Rong came because he entered the Imperial Academy. That was not right. "Old Master Wen actually came."

Mingyun was not surprised, as the Wen family and the Zhou family had not yet fallen out.

The atmosphere at Zhou Shuren's place was not very good. Ever since Elder Wen came, people had to think more before speaking.

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes. Old Master Wen was truly a topic terminator. Whenever he started talking about something, the topic would soon be brought to a halt.

Elder Wen suddenly said, "Master Zhou, take a rest. I don't think you are sick."

Zhou Shuren, "I remember the note I wrote was for sick leave."

Old Master Wen felt a knot in his heart. Zhou Shuren was injured, and the emperor not only sent imperial physicians to the Zhou Mansion every day, but also sent expensive medicinal herbs. But when he was sick, the emperor never asked about it, let alone let the imperial physician see him.

If Zhou Shuren knew what the old man was thinking, he would definitely laugh at him, saying, "Don't you know how naughty you are? Why does he care about you? Bah, you won't know where you will go next."

Moreover, the more the emperor treats them differently, the more conflicts there will be between the Zhou and Wen families. In the past, it was only Zhou Shuren and old man Wen who disagreed, but now it has escalated to their descendants.

The Wen family is unwilling to accept the defeat, and the Zhou family is not willing to be bullied either. They all have their own pride.

This is also the effect the emperor wants. Currently, the Wen family has made many noble families avoid the attack. The younger generation of the Ning family is not good enough. Ning Xu has long stopped caring about things. Ning Zhiqi's generation does not match that of Old Master Wen. The Ning family lives a stable life, and the Rong family is even more declining. Rong Enqing, who was born as a bastard, naturally lacks confidence. Well, the Zhou family, which has a relationship with the royal family, has become the most useful one in the hands of the emperor.

On a rainy day in Zhangzhou, the carriage arrived at the county magistrate's office. Yes, Liu Feng was a county magistrate in Zhangzhou, and the magistrate of a poor county. The main road in Zhangzhou had been repaired, but some connecting roads had not yet been repaired, especially in the remote poor counties.

There were no cement roads in the county town, so the carriage went directly into the backyard of the county government office. Liu Feng got off the carriage first and the servant held an umbrella for him. Liu Feng then carefully took over his sleeping son.

Yushuang then came down and looked at the county government office. "This is where we will live in the future."

Liu Feng hugged his son tightly. His son fell asleep in the carriage and has not woken up yet. "Yes, we will live here for the next few years."

Yu Shuang walked all the way to the yard, looking at the place where she would live in the future, "Not bad, we will need to clean up in a few days."

Liu Feng stared at the tired look on his wife's face, "You are tired too, take a rest first."

Yu Shuang was really tired. She needed to hold the child, especially on the difficult roads. "Okay, let's have someone clean up first. We'll just stay together today and clean up carefully tomorrow."

"Well, I'm going to go to the county government office in front and I'll be back soon."

"good."

Nowadays, carriages are equipped with glass if possible. As Yu Shuang walked along, she saw the situation in Zhangzhou. It was indeed as poor as her grandfather had said. Especially after walking all the way from the capital, the contrast was too obvious.

Yu Shuang asked the housekeeper to send someone to buy some vegetables and meat. The rest of the rice and flour were brought from the capital. Her mother-in-law and mother were afraid that there were no good things in Zhangzhou, so they brought a lot of dried seafood. Yu Shuang was a little greedy, and she could finally have a good meal when she arrived.

The next day, Zhao took Yudie to Liu's house and asked, "Mom, when did you become friends with Master Liu's wife?"

Zhao, "It's been a while. Why don't you like Madam Liu?"

Yudie shook her head, "I like it very much."

How should I put it? She felt that she could get along well with Lady Liu, especially when buying things.

Mrs. Zhao chuckled and said, "As long as she likes it, that's good. Yesterday on the full moon day, she heard Liu Jia talk about the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, and she was secretly happy again!

At the Liu family, Liu Yuanbo was helpless, "Mom, why did you ask for leave for me today?"

Guo pointed to the door and said, "I won't stop you. If you don't want to stay, you can leave."

Liu Yuanbo really lifted his feet to walk out, but when he was about to step out, he stopped. His mother never interfered with his studies, but today was too abnormal. His mother was really betraying her own son.

Guo, "Go, why don't you go?"
