Chapter 276: Blessed
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were talking in the house. Outside, Changzhi had already expressed his admiration for how great his father was. Changlian went back to the house. He needed to calculate how much money the antiques his father won were worth. He was speechless to his brother-in-law. "You've already told me how many antiques you won. Can't you just tell me how much money you sold them for?"
On the way back, he wanted to ask his father several times, but he didn't dare. He decided to estimate it himself. After all, the 1,000 taels of silver were secured. Why didn't he take after his father? No, he couldn't give up. He had to learn!
Changzhi said he was satisfied with the sharing and went back to the front yard to continue reading. He had no idea how much of a shock he had brought to his elder brother, second brother and brother-in-law.
The three of them returned to the house in a daze. Jiang Sheng saw his wife folding clothes and sat down next to her, "Xuemei."
Xuemei put away her clothes and asked, "You look absent-minded. What's wrong?"
Jiang Sheng learned Chang Zhi's words and concluded with emotion, "My father-in-law is really capable."
Xuemei thought it was something, she heard it from her mother and thought it should be kept secret, but now everyone in the family knows about it, "Yes, Dad is really capable."
Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment. "What do you think is the possibility of keeping Jiang Du?"
Xuemei, "..........."
At most, she hoped that her parents would pay more attention to Jiang Du and Jiang Miao. Her husband actually wanted to leave their son to be taught by his father, which showed how important his father was in her husband's heart.
Jiang Sheng regretted it the moment he said it. Wasn't he greedy? His father-in-law helped him, and he wanted his father-in-law to teach his son. "Just pretend I didn't say anything. I was just confused for a moment. Let's go back tomorrow. It's not a good idea to always ask Aunt Zheng to look after the house."
Xuemei understood Jiang Sheng. Anyone would want to learn his father's skills. Unfortunately, Jiang Du's last name was Jiang, not Zhou. It was fine for Zhou's descendants to learn, but it all depended on their father's wishes for Jiang's descendants to learn. "We have to wait a little longer. Dad and Mom are going to the capital. Let's see them off."
Jiang Sheng, "........Okay."
My father-in-law is going further and further away. Who knows, maybe his family will go to Beijing to make friends in the future!
After hearing this, Li raised her voice and asked, "Master, how much money is that?"
Boss Zhou didn't understand, and he didn't know much about antiques. "There must be a lot."
Li counted on her fingers. She didn't understand it either. However, the Zhou family had money, and a lot of it was real. "Boss, we must listen to our parents. If we make Dad unhappy, it will be terrible if he doesn't let Mingyun learn this skill."
Boss Zhou wanted to say that even if he was taught, he might not be able to learn his father's skills, as it depends on talent. Seeing Chang Lian's gloomy face, he knew that Chang Lian did not have this talent.
He suddenly felt balanced. He and his second brother had no talent for studying, but who knows, one of them might have talent in this area. The thought got him excited.
The second son, Zhou Laoer, also thought of his talent and planned to learn from his father.
Unfortunately, during dinner, Zhou Shuren broke the news before the eldest and second sons of the Zhou family could mention it. "Your mother and I will follow the convoy to the capital in three days. When we are away, you all have to work together to protect the house. Do you hear me?"
Chang Zhi and Chang Lian knew at the Jiang Mansion that their parents were going to the capital. When they came back, they were so focused on talking about their father's abilities that they forgot to mention that their father was going to the capital. They were also tempted, but it was a pity that they could not go with them, and they felt very depressed.
Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er were dumbfounded. Zhou Lao Da asked hurriedly, "Dad, what are you and Mom doing in the capital?"
This time he walked a little far and he felt nervous.
Zhou Shuren coughed. He had already thought it through. Instead of letting the other boys guess how much money he had, he might as well exchange it for real objects. "Dad will go to the capital to have a look in advance. If there is a suitable courtyard, we will buy one. In the future, whether I go to the capital to take the exam, or Chang Zhi and Chang Lian, they will all have a place to stay."
Zhou Laoer was very smart, "Dad, we are worried about you and mom going. Dad, I am not the eldest, it is okay for the family to be without me. Dad, let me go with you to take care of you and mom!"
Boss Zhou, "........"
He also wants to go, but his father is not at home. He is the eldest son and has to look after the family. How can he be the boss?
Zhou Shuren finally got rid of the eyesore. He had to be crazy to bring a light bulb. The first time he went out with Xuehan, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. "No need. We will follow the convoy that Lord Jiang found. You have nothing to worry about. Changyi, you are the most thoughtful and the most vulnerable. Help your elder brother at home. Dad is confident in you."
Zhou Laoer, "............"
Dad is not satisfied with him. He has uncovered all his past. Now I understand. Dad is disgusted with him and is a nuisance to him!
Jiang Sheng, "........"
He stayed at Yue's house for a long time this time, and his father-in-law overturned many of his impressions of him!
Seeing that the men's table had finished speaking, Zhulan said to the daughters-in-law: "I'm not at home, so the house will be left to you three. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao will not be in charge. Mrs. Dong will be responsible for helping your sister-in-law receive the female relatives who come to visit. Madam Dong, I feel most at ease with you."
Li can't stand alone, especially in Pingzhou City. Zhao is thoughtful, but not as knowledgeable as Dong. With Dong helping Li at home, she can feel more at ease.
In fact, Dong really wanted to be a housekeeper. She was not thinking about the money that a housekeeper could make, but she liked the feeling of being a housekeeper. Unfortunately, she was too young on the one hand, and on the other hand, even if the eldest sister-in-law was not good at housekeeping, her mother would favor her and would not let her surpass her. She could not even think of suppressing the second sister-in-law.
Mrs. Dong suppressed her unwillingness and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of my sister-in-law."
Zhulan nodded, "Mom believes you."
Mrs. Dong was depressed. She wanted to impress her mother-in-law, but unfortunately her mother did not give her the chance.
Xue Han sat next to her third sister-in-law. She noticed that her third sister-in-law squeezed her chopsticks hard and thought to herself, this is what mother said, her third brother has become a scholar and the family is no longer balanced. Her third sister-in-law is a daughter of an official family and has Lord Jiang as her brother-in-law. She is proud and confident and wants to express herself.
Xue Han admires her mother. Since her third brother did not pass the imperial examination, her mother had already reached the current situation. Looking at her eldest and second brothers, they really have nothing to show for themselves. No, the eldest brother has the confidence because he has a good son. The second brother currently has no other confidence except that he has a wealthy Yue family and some relationship with the Wu family. Before Wu Ming rose to power, the second brother was still the weakest in the family.
As for her fourth brother, she always felt that she and her fourth brother had the best luck in the family. Her fourth brother had a smooth journey. He was the youngest scholar in Pingzhou City, and he was apprenticed to a famous teacher. In the future, he would have the guidance of a famous teacher, and in the future he would have his father and third brother to protect him. He was really lucky.
She is lucky. As the youngest girl in the family, her parents love her more. She also has a promising fiancé and they are childhood sweethearts, with whom she has a deep relationship. In the future, she will have her father and brother to protect her, and a husband with whom she has a deep relationship. She is the most blessed person.
After the meal, Zhulan ignored Dong's hesitation to speak. She would not allow Dong to interfere too much. The balance in the family could not be broken, otherwise there would be more conflicts. She thought to herself that Dong was still young. If she was two or three years older, she would not be so impatient.
