Chapter 303 Arrangement

Mrs. Jiang Dong had no problem with my sister's mother-in-law. Not to mention that she and my sister didn't have much affection, she kept inviting my sister to come because she was cooperating with her husband. Of course, she was doing it for my sister's own good. If she didn't break my sister's pride, my sister would have many sad days. It would be better to marry her off while she was still young.

Now it seems that the effect is very good. She thought her younger sister would come to her to complain, but she never came even once. Her younger sister's mother-in-law is indeed as powerful as her mother said!

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Madam, please stand up quickly. We are family members, so you don't need to be so polite."

She can't call me auntie, so Madam is more appropriate.

Zhulan smiled and sat down. "This is my first visit and I don't know what you like. A few pieces of leather are a token of my appreciation."

There have been a lot of furs in the house recently, and Zhulan's hands have become a lot wider. A few good furs are to the girl's liking and decent. These mink furs are the best ones.

Mrs. Jiang really liked it. She knew that the Zhou family had made a fortune in the past few days, so she accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Madam. I don't have anything good. I heard from Chuchu that Madam has a daughter. It just so happened that I made two sets of jewelry for my little daughter. I thought Madam would bring her daughter, but she came alone. This set of jewelry can only be taken home by Madam."

Zhulan stood up and thanked him, without explaining why she came alone. Dong suggested that she bring Xuehan with her, but Zhulan disagreed. There was a big gap between the family of a fifth-rank official and that of a seventh-rank official. Dong was cautious even with her own nephews and nieces, let alone Xuehan.

Mrs. Jiang married Jiang Ming and gave birth to two children. They were still young and at the willful age. She didn't want Xue Han to come here and suffer her anger.

Zhulan and Jiang Dongshi really had nothing to talk about. Their chat pattern was question and answer. When she ran out of questions, she would fall silent.

Zhulan didn't want to find a topic to talk about, because Jiang Dongshi spoke very cautiously. Zhulan knew in her heart that Jiang Dongshi's identity as a second marriage made her overthinking and overthinking. She was afraid that if she said too much, Jiang Dongshi would have wild thoughts, so it was better not to say anything.

Fortunately, Lord Jiang had no intention of keeping Zhou Shuren for dinner, and he happily let Zhou Shuren leave, and Zhulan followed him.

There were no outsiders on the way back, and Zhulan took a deep breath, "Ms. Jiang and Ms. Dong have two different personalities. Although they don't talk much, they feel too repressed."

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said, "We are leaving too. We won't visit you again in the future."

Zhu Lan really didn't want to wait at the Jiang family's door any longer, "Yeah."

Zhou Shuren asked worriedly, "Is Mr. Jiang not giving you any trouble?"

Zhulan shook her head, "No, he was very kind to me."

Zhou Shuren didn't ask any more questions, as long as Zhulan didn't get upset.

After returning home, Zhulan gave the jewelry she brought back to Xuehan, "Jiang Yiren gave it to you, keep it for yourself."

Xue Han accepted it happily. The jewelry was not expensive but exquisite. It was decorated with precious stones, which made it the little girl's favorite.

When Mrs. Dong saw her mother-in-law smiling, she felt relieved. She was glad that her sister didn't embarrass her mother-in-law. Otherwise, her sister would be the one who was really harming her!

On the second day, Zhou Shuren went to meet Zhao Bo, who was also a Yayuan and ranked eighth. Zhou Shuren won the prize, and Zhao Bo sent someone to deliver a gift. Zhou Shuren also gave Zhao Bo a congratulatory gift.

This was the first time the two had met since their success.

Zhou Shuren came back in the afternoon. Zhulan knew that Zhou Shuren was asking Zhao Bo when he went to Beijing. "What did Zhao Bo say?"

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "He knows I'm going to Beijing early, so he wants to go with us."

Zhulan: "That's great. The more people there are, the safer the road will be."

Zhou Shuren paused and said, "Tomorrow you go to the Wu family and ask Mrs. Wu Li if Wu Ming wants to go with them."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay."

Even if Zhou Shuren didn't mention it, she would have gone to the Wu family to ask. It was such a great opportunity to gain a favor, and she would feel bad if she missed it.

The next morning, Zhulan went to the Wu family and said, "Auntie, we are planning to leave for the capital in a few days. My husband asked me to ask you if your Wu Ming wants to go to the capital in advance."

Wu Li was surprised and asked, "You plan to go to the capital in advance?"

"Yes, we want to go to the capital before winter comes, so as to avoid the difficulty of traveling after the New Year. The weather is too cold and it is easy to get sick. We have finally passed the imperial examination, and we can't fall ill again in the capital. Fortunately, we have a house in the capital, so if we go there early, we can recover our spirits and participate in the Spring Examination."

Wu Li was really scared when her eldest grandson fell ill in the provincial examination. She thought there was no hope for him to pass the examination, but she didn't expect that he would become the top scholar. She was so happy to receive gifts these days that she didn't think about going to Beijing to take the examination. She held Yang's hand and said, "Thank you, auntie. It's hard for you to think about Wu Ming. I, an old woman, don't know much, but fortunately you are thinking about him. Auntie was really afraid that Wu Ming would get sick again."

Zhulan comforted him, "Wu Mingji is a man of destiny. Don't you think he will become the top scholar?"

Mrs. Wu Li was really afraid that her grandson would get sick, especially in the spring, when he could easily catch a cold and be fatal. "Auntie, I am really afraid. Wu Ming also followed you to the capital in advance. Auntie is also very thick-skinned. Please take care of Wu Ming for the sake of him not having a father or a mother."

Zhulan held Wu Li's hand and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I have always treated Wu Ming as my own nephew. We will take good care of him in the capital."

If Wu Li believed what Yang said, Wu Ming was still Chang Zhi's senior brother, and the relationship between the two families was closer than before!

Zhulan finished her work and prepared to say goodbye, "Auntie, I have to go back to my hometown tomorrow and buy some things for my eldest daughter. I will leave first."

Wu Li stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

"Auntie, please stay."

Mrs. Wu Li still insisted on seeing Zhulan to the door, and only returned to the house after Zhulan walked far away.

Zhulan returned home and took Xuehan to buy cloth and cotton. The cloth they bought was fine cotton for babies, and the cotton was also intended to make quilts for the unborn baby.

Zhulan couldn't help with the confinement period, so she could only buy some more things to bring back.

This time when they went home, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren brought back a lot of things, most of which were bought for Xuemei.

The whole Zhou family went back to their hometown. Zhou Shuren and Zhulan were going to take the eldest son and his wife to the capital, and arrangements had to be made for the remaining three sons.

Zhou Laoer and his family returned to their hometown. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were not at home. Zhou Laoer was in charge of the family's land. As for Jiang Sheng, he didn't have to worry about the land, and Jiang Sheng could also take better care of Xuemei.

After Zhou Laoer and Zhao Shi knew about the arrangement, they wanted to go to the capital even more, but they did not dare to object to Zhulan and Zhou Shuren's decision.

Chang Lian and Dong stayed in Pingzhou to look after the family. They not only had to look after the family, but also had to take care of the students.

This time, Chang Lian had the opportunity to be the boss. Chang Lian and Dong were so scared that they wanted to kneel again. It was only after Zhu Lan gave them a reason that they felt relieved.

As for Changzhi, it was even easier. They could just send him to Xu Jinshi's house. With Xu Jinshi taking care of him, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren would have nothing to worry about.
