Chapter 1417 Brother Tuesday
At Zhou's house, not long after Yudie left, Tao came to the house and said as soon as she entered, "Oh, you haven't seen how good Zhuoping is. He changes every day."
Zhulan was speechless. "It's just the third day of the baby's birth. How much can a child change even if he grows up so fast?"
Tao, "Can't you just say a few words along the lines of what I'm saying?"
"Okay, okay, the child is growing well, that's all for now."
Tao felt extremely bored, "You are too perfunctory."
Zhulan, "You are not here just to show off your child, are you?"
Mrs. Tao looked somewhat reluctant. Thinking of her old lady's instructions, she said, "This is not Wang Hua's engagement. The old lady wants to find a wife for Wang Hua as a dowry. The old lady learned from me that you have a connection, so she asked me to ask you shamelessly."
Zhulan did have connections. Who made the Princess of Qin her concubine? There were many maids released from the palace, but the good ones were very tight. If you don't have connections, you can only watch. "Where is Wang Hua's original maid?"
Mrs. Tao snorted. "The old lady has already sent them away. If she wasn't worried that Wang Hua wouldn't have anyone familiar around him, she would have meant to replace everyone around him."
Zhulan thought about the relationship between the Zhou and Wang families and how much help she could offer. "Okay, I'll take note of it. I'll show it to you when I find someone."
Tao, "Okay."
She really didn't want to continue to manage the second wife's affairs.
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Okay, don't be upset. I heard that you are going to separate soon."
Tao finally smiled, "Well, it's not that I can't accommodate two wives. The Wang family has few descendants, and the second and third wives are both precious in the eyes of the old man. So the second and third wives want more."
Zhulan knew it all, and it was because she felt she was important that she became more and more unbalanced.
Tao thought for a moment and said, "My eldest son has already replied to the letter, knowing that the baby was born safely. My daughter-in-law sent a lot of gifts back. The letter arrived in the capital first, so the gifts will have to wait a while."
Zhulan was surprised, "I thought your daughter-in-law would come back!"
Tao, "She knows in her heart that I am looking after the child and she feels relieved. She is used to being the boss outside and doesn't want to be controlled when she comes back."
Zhulan thought it would be better not to come back, so that her granddaughter would be more at ease.
Tao left after a short while. This was because the two companies had a good relationship, so Tao came in the afternoon. Normally, he would visit in the morning.
In Huizhou mountain village, Mingrui and Shangguan Liu had already eaten a hot meal. Mingrui was very cautious. They ate in the yard of a fellow villager's house. Before eating, he dropped some food to feed the chickens. He was relieved when he saw that the chickens were fine after eating.
Shangguan Liu finally ate normal food and drank water comfortably. "Are we leaving soon?"
Mingrui was not sure if he would encounter assassins. It was already late and the mountain roads were unsafe at night. The mountains here were surrounded and wolves could be heard howling from time to time. He was in a dilemma. He suppressed his annoyance and said, "Let's stay here today and leave early tomorrow morning."
Shangguan Liu looked down at their clothes and asked, "Should we change our clothes too?"
Mingrui frowned, "Yeah."
There were not many households in the mountain village, only a dozen or so in total, and most of them were hunters. Mingrui chose a family on the edge of the mountain.
Mingrui looked at the steamed bun in his hand and gazed at the dozen or so households in the village. When he entered the village, he realized that this village was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There was not much land in the village and all the workers were women. They had been to the mountain village before, but had never seen white flour in the mountain village. All they had seen were coarse grains. The food the mountain village treated them to was so good.
Shangguan Liu is the one who lacks experience, while Mingrui has heard a lot because his father is often away. He is a cautious person by nature, and Mingrui always feels that the village is too discordant.
In the forest, the officers, soldiers and guards have found the jade pendants of Mingrui and Shangguan Liu. There is no blood on the jade pendants, and no clothes torn by wild beasts are found nearby. The officers, soldiers and guards feel relieved, thinking that the two young masters must be fine.
The Zhou family's servant was about to cry. The servant was good at martial arts. When the young master suddenly rushed over, he realized that he could not catch up with him. He could only continue to chase him. However, Young Master Shangguan's servant had already died at the first moment.
The servant was extremely tired, but now he was refreshed and silently prayed in his heart that the young master must be fine, must be fine.
In the capital, it was already late, but Yudie and Lin Qing were stuck on the road. Yudie was speechless when she heard the maid asking about the situation. "Has that scholar read too many novels? The capital is under the emperor's feet, how could there be such a thing as bullying men and women?"
Everyone knows that the emperor is in a bad mood recently. Even the playboys have brains. These days, playboys are rarely seen on the streets of the capital. Either they know not to cause trouble, or they are confined at home by their elders.
Lin Qing, "This is the capital, and the rich and powerful can be seen everywhere. Isn't he afraid of implicating his companions?"
Lin Qingke heard from the maid that several scholars came to the capital for a tour.
At this time, Yudie heard a knock on the car window. She opened the curtain and looked out, and said in surprise, "Second brother, why are you here?"
Ming Teng, "I should be the one asking you, why are you here?"
Yudie said, "I am accompanying Sister Lin to change the strings of her zither. We were just about to go home when the road ahead was blocked."
Lin Qing shielded her face with her fan and nodded slightly. Ming Teng also nodded. This was her future sister-in-law.
Ming Teng said, "Xu Chen is being harassed. I'll go take a look."
Yudie was stunned, "Prince of Qi?"
Ming Teng nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
Yudie waited until her second brother left before she realized, "The person in front of me is actually the prince of Qi. This makes it even more impossible for him to bully men and women."
Lin Qing, "The Prince of Qi is also unlucky."
It was more than just bad luck. Due to Xu Chen's good royal upbringing, he did not lose his temper in the street. He kindly asked the guards to hold the frightened horse, in order to save people and prevent pedestrians on the street from being hit. Unexpectedly, the girl in the carriage came down to thank him. He did not need any reward, but the girl looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Then another person with a disordered brain rushed over and immediately accused him of raping a woman. It really made him laugh because he was the prince of Qi and he could have any woman he wanted.
Ming Teng rode over, and the guards he brought with him dispersed the crowd without even looking at the scholar, "Let's go."
Xu Chen turned his horse around, "Okay."
Miss Liu was anxious. It was not easy to meet the Prince of Qi. Today was a great opportunity. She wanted to hate the scholar who messed up the situation. She pretended not to know the Prince of Qi, "Sir."
Xu Chen left quickly without even looking back. He just regretted that he didn't bring enough people with him, otherwise he would have left long ago. Next time he goes out, he will definitely bring enough guards with him.
Ming Teng did not follow them, "I will go back home with my sister."
Xuchen, "Thank you."
Ming Teng waved his whip and said, "You're welcome."
Ming Teng was looking for his own carriage, and he saw the Liu family's carriage running parallel to his own carriage. It was unknown what the Second Young Master Liu said, and Yudie covered her face with a fan. He knew his sister so well, and Yudie must have been smiling very happily.
Ming Teng sighed, this fate, and walked away with a cold face, "It's not good for two carriages to run side by side!"
Liu Yuanbo heard it, "Tuesday, Prince Rong."
Ming Teng moved his ears. The boy almost called Zhou Er not Mr. Zhou, but Brother Zhou Er, right?
