Chapter 1632 Well-Informed

After the two had dinner, they signaled the girls to go downstairs and then talked about the twins again. Zhu Lan was worried, "Jiang An can't return to the country unless he fakes his death. He is already in his current position and it won't be easy for him to return to the country!"

Zhou Shuren pulled his beard and said, "As long as he is not exposed, the emperor will not let him come back unless he annexes this country."

Zhulan, "......"

If the emperor wanted to annex other countries, he would have done so long ago. Now annexation means burden. The grassland and the northeast are two big gold-devouring beasts. In the days of food shortage, the court does not have the spare energy to support the small countries around them.

Zhulan calculated the ages of the twins, "They are not young anymore. According to their age, they should have been engaged a long time ago. It's a pity that they can't come back now. They can't stay abroad forever without getting married!"

Thinking about her grandson getting married abroad, and having to marry someone she doesn't like for the sake of the country, she felt suffocated!

Zhou Shuren was also upset after hearing this, "These two brats."

Zhulan, "Tomorrow your daughter will come to me and cry."

Zhou Shuren, "....."

Just as Zhulan said, Xuemei came back the next day without even having dinner. Her eyes were swollen. Zhulan motioned Qingxue to bring another bowl of wontons. "You don't have an appetite, so stay with me for a while."

Xuemei's voice was a little nasal. She didn't sleep much last night. She couldn't help crying when she thought of her two sons. "Yeah."

After breakfast, Zhulan waited until the table was cleared and only Qingxue was left, then she asked, "Would it make you feel better if you miss your two children so much to be sent abroad as ambassadors?"

Xuemei's nasal tone became even stronger. "They are different from my second brother. My second brother is not in danger, but if anything goes wrong, they will all die."

Zhulan, "Who said your second brother's mission is not dangerous? It is dangerous."

Xuemei pursed her lips and said nothing, tears flowing silently. She just felt sad for her two healthy sons.

Zhulan cried out, "Don't cry, I'll cry too soon."

She felt extremely sad watching this. She felt distressed to see her daughter crying, and she was also worried about her two grandchildren, which made her feel even worse.

Xuemei wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "According to their age, they should be married."

Zhulan, "I told your father yesterday. Okay, don't worry about it."

The twins actually benefited the Jiang family. Otherwise, even with Shu Ren's efforts, the places Jiang Du and Mu Fan went would not be very good. Now they both go to good places, and the twins also contribute to this.

Xuemei couldn't cry at home. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't know Jiang Ping had returned. She was afraid of being discovered by her mother-in-law, so she could only come and talk to her mother.

After a while, Lin Xi came over, "Grandma, I made an appointment with cousin Yu Wen. Hey, why are you crying, aunt?"

Xuemei's eyes were extremely dry and her smile was stiff. "I miss your twin cousins."

Lin Xi didn't know how to comfort her twin cousin, who had been away from home for too long. She said dryly, "When they come back, I will beat them up. Let's see if they dare to make you sad again."

Xuemei: "Okay, I'll listen to Linxi."

Yuwen came over and asked, and only after confirming that her aunt was okay did she leave with Linxi.

Xuemei came back to her senses, "That's not right, why did Yuwen take the initiative to go out?"

Zhulan: "Because her father is well-informed."

Xuemei, "Huh??"

Zhulan didn't mention that Yuwen had a crush on Gusheng, and interrupted by asking, "Did Jiang Du and Jiang Miao send any letters home?"

Xuemei felt better when she thought of her children. "A letter came back from home a few days ago. They have settled down and the two children are doing well. They told us not to worry."

She also sent back some dried fish and other seafood, but she didn't send them to her mother, mainly because they were not good things.

Zhulan, "I'm glad the two children are fine. I'm just worried that they might get sick because of the seaside climate."

Xuemei smiled and said, "I brought them a lot of pills."

"That's good."

In Zhangzhou, Yu Shuang took her two children to sit on the edge of the field and pick wild vegetables. The people in the fields were growing herbs and medicinal herbs. Yu Shuang picked a basket of wild vegetables and felt a little tired.

Liu Feng was worried about Niang San and came over, "Are you tired?"

Yu Shuang nodded, "Do you want to take a break?"

Liu Feng was also tired. He was wearing coarse cloth today. He had already planted some herbs himself. He sat down next to his wife without minding the dirt. "There are many more reclaimed fields in each village this year. Life will get better and better."

Yushuang looked at the children in the fields and said, "It was hard to see new clothes before, but now many children have new clothes."

Liu Feng smiled, "Life is more prosperous now, and the county town is no longer so dull."

The people had more money in their hands, and there were many more shops and snack stalls in the county.

Liu Feng had not been planting for long when the people stopped him. It was not because they disliked his planting skills, but because they did not want Liu Feng to get too tired. Planting herbs gave the people money, so Liu Feng was loved by the people.

As a result, not only were there many more wild vegetables on Yu Shuang's carriage returning to the city, but someone also caught two fish.

Yu Shuang chuckled, "These wild vegetables can be eaten for a long time."

Liu Feng also laughed, "If you can't eat it, dry it and eat it in the winter."

Yu Shuang, "Okay, I'll send some to the capital when the time comes. This is all a token of my love for you."

Liu Feng was a little embarrassed, "It's all my job."

Yu Shuang was proud. She reached out and held her husband's rough hand. "You are my pride."

Liu Feng embraced his wife. He knew that without Yue's family, it would not be easy for him to be a good official. He was able to be so successful thanks to Yue's family, and he was also grateful for his wife's support and company.

In the Beijing Tea House, Lin Xi drank two cups of tea. "Cousin, did you get the wrong place?"

"No, my father wouldn't make a mistake."

Gu Sheng was not on guard against his father. His father asked casually, and Gu Sheng directly said the name of the teahouse!

Lin Xi suddenly pulled her cousin's sleeve and asked, "Are you getting off the carriage?"

Yu Wen saw that they were indeed the Gu brothers. They entered the teahouse and a little while later a horse-drawn carriage arrived. A woman got off the carriage, followed by a girl. The girl was quite old and there must be something behind her for her to be unmarried at this age.

Yuwen called the waiter to ask a few questions, and a maid came over and said, "Master Gu is downstairs for tea."

Lin Xi touched the whip and asked, "Is his brother attracted to her?"

"That should be it, otherwise he wouldn't come down here alone."

Lin Xi sighed, "Children without parents have to worry about everything by themselves."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Yuwen and the other girl saw the woman and girl leave, and then two women, one old and one middle-aged, walked out of the box where Gu Sheng was. Yuwen saw Gu Sheng and his brother personally escorting them to the carriage.

Yuwen smiled, "She is quite well behaved and found a matchmaker herself."

Linxi pulled her cousin up and said, "If you don't get up, they will leave too."

Yuwen didn't move. "They will come back. They won't leave for a while."

Seeing the two brothers return to the teahouse, Lin Xi cried out and couldn't help but bumped into her cousin's shoulder, "You haven't met Gu Sheng many times, but you know him well!"
