Chapter 200 Forgetting about Li

Zhulan took Xuehan with her to the county. Li knew she didn't have to keep it a secret anymore and she talked openly about what she was going to buy. She was determined to make the best mooncakes for money.

Li wanted to continue asking her mother, but she thought her mother's cooking was not tasty, so she stopped asking. As for why her mother knew about snow skin, she thought her mother read a lot of books and therefore knew a lot.

Zhulan wanted to explain it later, but after thinking about it, she realized that Li would be able to think of it on her own and it would be superfluous if she said anything, so she didn't explain it. However, she would not ask for any advice again in the future.

It was cloudy and not hot anymore. There were quite a lot of people in the county, all taking advantage of the cool weather to go out for a walk. Zhulan did not accompany Li to buy glutinous rice flour, but took her daughter to the fabric shop. She promised to make clothes for Changlian. The house had run out of suitable fabric, and she could not make clothes just for Changlian. She could not favor one over the other. All of them should feel the mother's love. A family is most sincerely maintained with feelings.

The shop assistants were all very sharp-eyed and knew who really wanted to buy and who was just looking. Zhulan greeted them as soon as she entered the door, "Please come in. We have some new styles that only we have."

Seeing the employee wanted to show her women's fabrics, Zhulan said hurriedly, "I want to make clothes for my son, and I want to see your blue fabrics."

The waiter raised his foot and turned around, "Please come this way. These are all fabrics for men's clothes. The fabrics you want are all here."

Zhulan wanted to make white clothes, but unfortunately people in ancient times were very particular about clothing and no one wore white, especially on important occasions. She had never seen a man in white in ancient TV dramas she watched in modern times, and even fabric shops rarely sold white fabric. Zhulan chose blue and cyan fabrics. Her clothing-making skills became more and more sophisticated, and it was not a problem for her to not embroider and make a few sets of clothes in a month.

She sometimes thought that if she could go back to modern times, she could open a period clothing store and definitely make a lot of money.

Zhulan also selected the fabrics to bring with her. When she saw Xuehan picked out some fabrics to make purses, she wanted to pay for them together. Xuehan stopped her and said, "Mom, I also want to give my brother a gift. I will pay for these fabrics myself."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay, you pay for it yourself."

Among the several children in the Zhou family, this girl is the richest. During the New Year's red envelopes, she and Zhou Shuren would give some copper money from time to time in Pingzhou. After returning, the girl started to have contact with Dong Chuchu again. Every time she invited Xue Han, Zhulan would give some silver coins. If Xue Han didn't spend it, she would return it to her, and she didn't ask Xue Han to keep it for herself.

She calculated in her mind that this girl had at least two and a half taels of silver in her hands, not counting Rongchuan's money. This was a considerable amount of money. She had heard from Dong Lin that Dong Chuchu received fifty cents a month. On average, Xue Han received more than Dong Chuchu every month.

After buying the fabric, Zhulan came out of the fabric shop and saw Zhou Shuren coming out of Ruyi Pastry opposite. Zhulan's attention was on Zhou Shuren. Hey, male protagonist, why did you go to the snack shop instead of shopping around?

Zhulan was the original heroine, and she brought her daughter with her. She didn't want to make a fuss and meet the hero, so it was a good plan, and she missed out on Boss Zhou.

Zhou Lao Da couldn't keep silent when he saw his father, that would be unfilial, so he quickly jumped off the ox cart and said, "Dad."

Zhou Shuren looked at Boss Zhou gloomily. He knew that the bad things would happen to Boss Zhou. Boss Zhou had already called for help, so Zhou Shuren couldn't pretend he didn't see it. "Yeah."

Yao Zheyu was about to get on the car but stopped. He was quite interested in Zhou Xiucai. Since he had run into his family, he naturally wanted to get to know them so that he could visit them more naturally, so that he wouldn't have to think of an excuse to go to Zhoujia Village. He smiled and asked, "Zhou Xiucai, is this your son?"

When Zhulan heard this, she had no choice but to step forward. It would be too deliberate if she hid with her daughter. She had to be even more cautious with the scheming male protagonist. To be honest, she and Zhou Shuren really didn't want to have anything to do with the male protagonist. They had planned not to get involved in the affairs of the male protagonist and Wang Ru after going to Pingzhou, but things didn't go as planned and they still ran into each other.

Zhou Shuren introduced, "This is my wife Yang, this is my eldest son Zhou Changli, the four sons are arranged in order of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and wisdom, and the one in front of you is my youngest daughter."

After a pause, he continued to introduce: "This is the son of the Marquis's mansion."

Yao Zheyu was surprised, because Zhou Xiucai's wife didn't look like the old rural ladies he had seen before. He heard that she was almost forty years old and was so well maintained. Her temperament couldn't deceive people. She looked like an official's wife. His eyes fell on the little girl. She was well-educated. It was a pity that he kept his head down and didn't see her face. Except for Zhou Xiucai's eldest son who looked like rural girls, the other family members didn't look like them!

After Zhulan greeted him, she said nothing and pulled her daughter to stand behind Zhou Shuren. It would be better to leave the male protagonist to Zhou Shuren!

After hearing the introduction, Boss Zhou was completely stunned. How could Dad be so powerful? Even someone like him who didn't understand knew what a marquis's mansion was. Dad was really amazing!

Yao Zheyu politely said to Zhou Shuren, "I just came here and wanted to go to the countryside. It's fate that we met by chance. Sorry to bother you tomorrow."

Zhulan, "........"

The male protagonist really knows how to seize opportunities. It looks like he’s going to the market soon.

Zhou Shuren kept smiling, "It is a great honor for you to come to my humble home. Why would I bother you?"

In his heart, he thought, look at how polite she was, but due to her class status, it was more like a notice to him. He was secretly happy in his heart, fortunately he had given the young lady an early engagement. Even if Wang Ru was not there, he would not have followed the plot. Not to mention the male protagonist's family's gossips, the male protagonist was too scheming. This kind of person places too little emphasis on love, and is not a good person. As expected, when put into reality and seen the light, his true nature was revealed and all the beauty was gone.

Yao Zheyu said a few more polite words and got in the car and left. There was no need to go shopping today.

Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan get on the carriage. It was not a good place to talk outside. "Let's go to the market."

Zhulan signaled to the boss to turn around and go to the market. Boss Zhou was dizzy, and he kept thinking about how great a blessing it was that the young master of the marquis's mansion was coming to visit their home. He cracked the whip particularly loudly.

There is only one market in the county. In summer, every farmer grows vegetables and sells the excess vegetables in the county. The market is very busy, but there are no new and exotic vegetables, only popular vegetables.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to the hunter. Zhulan did not buy any pheasants because the meat in a pheasant was not much and it was dead and no longer fresh after one night. She bought a live wild rabbit and left quickly because there were several dead snakes on the hunter's stall. There was only one hunter there today and she went forward just to test her courage. It was already her limit to be able to endure until the settlement.

She couldn't help but sigh that after Li's stimulation, she saw that the snake's heart had become much stronger, and that human potential was truly endless.

I went to buy another hen. In summer, butchers are not very diligent in killing pigs. If they kill the pigs every day and cannot sell them, they will lose money. Even if they can be used to make sausages, there were no refrigerators in ancient times. If the meat is left for a day, it will no longer be fresh. Generally, they will only kill pigs when there is a large order.

The meat stall in the market was closed today. I heard that pigs would be slaughtered tomorrow morning, so I had to hurry up and buy some tomorrow. Zhulan also bought a few big fish and a bucket to take home to keep them overnight for use tomorrow.

There was nothing else to buy. When the oxcart was about to reach the county gate, Zhulan suddenly remembered what she had forgotten. "Did you forget about Li?"

Boss Zhou hurriedly pulled the cow and went out. He had completely forgotten about his wife. "Ms. Li should still be waiting in the grain store."

Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky. This had nothing to do with him. He didn't even know that Li came with them.

Xue Han felt sympathy for her sister-in-law. Given how much she listened to her mother, she would definitely be waiting obediently!
