Chapter 1561 Entering Beijing

A few days later, Song Lan brought Wu Ming's letter and a lot of beef and mutton.

Zhulan didn't read the letter. "You sent too much meat. Did you keep any for yourself?"

Beef is a good thing, and she has already decided to ask the kitchen to make beef jerky.

Song Lan smiled and said, "I kept it. The livestock farm encountered a pack of wolves and many of them died. I bought a lot of meat with my money. We don't need the farm to send meat for the New Year."

Zhulan felt distressed, "I worked so hard to raise him, and now it's a big loss."

"It's really big. There's nothing we can do about it. Not only are there a lot of wolves, but there are also bears. The grassland is quite dangerous."

Zhulan nodded in agreement. Next year, her eldest grandson will also go to the grassland.

Song Lan sat for a while and asked, "Madam, Changzhong is old enough to get engaged. Do you have anyone in mind?"

Zhulan immediately became alert, "But did someone say something in your ear?"

"The old lady guessed it, so I told her. My cousin came to see me a few days ago and told me about her little daughter, so she asked me to ask her about it."

Zhulan relaxed. It was not the Zhang family. The daughters of the Song family all married well. The family tradition was good and the daughters had a good reputation. "Then I'll tell you something. Changzhong's marriage is not urgent yet."

Song Lan smiled and changed the subject. It was only because the two families were godparents that she was so straightforward. Now that she had the correct information, she didn't have to worry about it.

At the Lin family, Mingrui brought fruits and peels, "Madam, my mother remembered that you liked this kind of fruit, and she asked me to bring it to you for you to taste as it was just delivered to the capital."

The old lady of the Lin family looked at her granddaughter, her eyes almost overflowing with laughter. Her granddaughter had the same preferences as hers, which showed how much the mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, cared about her granddaughter. "Thank your mother for me."

Lord Lin stood up and said, "Mother, I will take Mingrui to the front yard first."

The old lady of the Lin family was speechless. She wanted Mingrui and her granddaughter to go out for a walk. Now that her son had spoken, she could only say, "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the meal. You can have a couple of drinks today."

Lord Lin was very satisfied with his future son-in-law and said with a smile, "Okay."

Mingrui was not nervous facing his father-in-law because he was confident in himself.

Yudie also came today. Mingrui glanced at his sister before leaving with his future father-in-law.

The old lady of the Lin family was old. After a while, everyone in the room left. Lin Qing's mother said, "Qing'er, you entertain Yudie. I'm going to get busy now."

Lin Qing held Yudie's hand and said, "Yeah."

Yudie was no stranger to the Lin Residence. She had been coming here frequently since the two families got engaged. When there were no elders left, Yudie stopped pretending. "Come on, come on, let me see the screen you mentioned."

Lin Qing was so happy that her fiancé came to her house that she couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, I'll open your eyes."

Yudie was shocked when she saw the screen. "From a distance, it looks like it's alive. It's amazing."

Lin Qing, "Granny Li seldom embroiders. If it wasn't my mother's birthday, she wouldn't pick up the needle."

Yudie wanted to make Xiu Yiyi say something but couldn't, "Grandma Li is your mother's maid in the dowry?"

"Well, my mother is kind. When Granny Li got married, my mother gave her a dowry. Granny Li has lived a good life and is grateful to my mother for taking care of her over the years."

At this time, the maid came in and said, "Miss, Miss Zhang is here."

Lin Qing frowned, "Why didn't she tell me in advance?"

The girl asked, "Miss, what do you think?"

Lin Qing was unhappy, but she couldn't let Miss Zhang go back. The Zhang and Lin families hadn't reached that point yet, so she held back her impatience and said, "Please ask Miss Zhang to come over."

Yudie waited for the maid to leave, "Ahem, did I ever tell you that I had a quarrel with this Miss Zhang?"

Lin Qing's eyes widened, "No."

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren asked his second son in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

Chang Yi saw his father rubbing his shoulders, so he stood up and helped him. "Dad, some of the envoys have been asking about you recently."

Zhou Shuren didn't take it seriously, "What are you asking about me?"

"I have asked about your achievements and have learned everything I can."

Zhou Shuren raised an eyebrow, "I thought they were asking about my preferences."

Chang Yi pursed his lips and said, "Dad, you have made great contributions to the current situation of the court. Will it be harmful to you if they ask about you?"

Zhou Shuren sneered, "Your father is an important official, and I dare not do anything bad to you."

Changyi came to see his father because he felt uneasy. He thought that unless the two countries went to war, no one would dare to attack his father.

Zhou Shuren was confident about his own safety. The royal family had given him two mandates to maintain national security. He didn't believe that there was no one secretly protecting him. This involved the country and the people. Wow, he was too important to the royal family.

Zhou Shuren sighed again, his sons were all thoughtful, "Your younger brother went to the Treasure House, you can listen to him."

Chang Yi smiled, "It's spread all over the capital, saying I'm lucky."

Zhou Shuren said cheerfully, "See the inkstone on the table? Your brother bought it for you."

Chang Yi twitched his lips. This was too obvious. The inkstone in the Ministry of Revenue was obviously very good, but they insisted on bringing their younger brother's. To show off, the old man said, "My younger brother is filial and obedient."

Zhou Shuren said cheerfully, "You are all filial and obedient. Having you is your father's greatest blessing."

Chang Yi's nose was sore, "It should be our blessing to be your son."

At the Lin Residence, Miss Zhang really hated Zhou Yudie, and said with a stiff mouth, "Miss Zhou, you are joking. I really want to be friends with Miss Lin."

Yudie didn't believe it. She had a very bad impression of Miss Zhang. "I've met Miss Zhang's friends before, so I won't mention them."

Zhang Luo, "!!"

She really hates people who speak bluntly, which left her at a loss as to how to respond several times.

Lin Qing covered her face with the fan and wanted to laugh. It turned out that she was too tactful in her words. That was why Miss Zhang came to her house without notifying her and looked like she was disturbing her. But it was all planned.

Zhang Luo was upset. She didn't expect that Miss Zhou would be there too. She would not have come if she had known. Now she didn't know what Zhou Yudie would say to her when she went back. It would be even more difficult for her to go to Marquis Zhou's Mansion. She held her handkerchief and was about to cry.

Yudie stood up and took a step back, "I didn't touch you, please don't try to scam me."

Lin Qing chuckled. Yudie was very weird. Miss Zhang couldn't stay any longer. She lowered her head and stood up, "I'll go back first."

Lin Qing also stood up, "I'll take you there."

Zhang Luo took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and left.

When Lin Qing came back, Yudie was eating pine nuts. "Are you so happy to bully others?"

"Gao Xing, don't be polite to her. She was the one who got embarrassed in the end anyway. But she was smart enough to leave immediately."

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "She always comes to look for me because she wants to see your mansion."

Yudie glared, "You are so careless."

Her intuition told her that this man had his eyes on his younger uncle, the eldest son's grandson. His younger uncle was his grandfather and grandmother's youngest son, so many people were eyeing his younger uncle.

When Zhou Shuren saw Wang Ju when he was leaving the government office, he was very surprised. "Why are you waiting for me at the entrance of the government office instead of going back home?"

"To tell you the news, Zhao Bo's transfer has been confirmed and he will go to Beijing next year."

Zhou Shuren, "???"

Well, he had never paid attention to it, so it was not surprising that he was going to Beijing.
