Chapter 346 Help

The room was quiet for a while, and Zhulan also had a headache. This trip to Lizhou City would take more than a year or so, and she had also read the information about Lizhou City. There were only seven days, and she had too many things to prepare.

Zhulan continued to massage Zhou Shuren's head, "Can I curse at someone?"

She has never sworn in modern times, even if she was mad and threw things at the sky. But in ancient times, well, she has cursed in her heart more than once, and now she wants to say it out loud!

Zhou Shuren, ".......I still don't want it."

Zhulan chuckled, "You can't go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. Fortunately, Changyi is in your hometown. I will write to Changyi later and ask him to worship your ancestors on your behalf. Everything has been arranged in your hometown. Let him take Zhao and the children to Lizhou City. As for Mingyun and Rongchuan, they will continue to study in the academy. When Lizhou City has arranged and found a suitable academy, they will come over. Yes, let Changlian send the letter back. He can also help Changyi when he goes back."

Zhou Shuren, "........Chang Lian is here?"

Zhulan, "........He came yesterday, and was at the same table during dinner. He was standing next to you just now, and you didn't notice him?"

Awesome, Zhou Shuren!

Zhou Shuren really didn't notice it. He had a headache when he woke up in the morning and didn't feel very well while eating. He had a lot of things on his mind and didn't notice Chang Lian. When he went to the front yard just now, his mind was on the eunuch in the palace. He had no time to pay attention to Chang Lian. After the eunuch left, his headache got worse, so he didn't see Chang Lian!

Zhulan also paused, "Have we forgotten Changzhi as well?"

Zhou Shuren, "........Yeah."

After leaving this son to Xu Jinshi, they really rarely thought about him.

Zhulan coughed and said, "Write another letter to Changzhi. Tell him whether he will continue to follow Master or go to Lizhou City with Changyi and the others."

Zhou Shuren felt his headache was not as severe anymore. "I'll go and write down the names and appointments. I'll leave the rest of the housework to you."

Zhu Lan just remembered what she forgot to say, "Oh, by the way, Mom and Dad will be here in six days, no, one day has passed, they are expected to arrive in five days, so we can go to Lizhou City together."

Their family was escorted by soldiers on their way to Lizhou City. It would be safer for their parents to go with them. The situation in Lizhou City was really bad. People who were extremely hungry could do anything.

Zhulan thought too much and didn't want Changyi to go to Lizhou City too early. Even if Changlian went back, there were not many adults left and it was still not safe. Zhulan thought it would be best to set off after the autumn harvest, so that she could also transport grain from her hometown to Lizhou City.

Zhulan told Zhou Shuren what she was thinking. Zhou Shuren was silent for a while and said, "This arrangement is indeed the most secure."

Zhulan continued, "I wrote a letter to Changyi yesterday, asking him to sell the house in Pingzhou."

"Mingyun and Rongchuan are going to continue studying at the academy. After the house is sold, will they live in the academy?"

Zhu Lan nodded, "Chang Lian came to the capital and took the carriage with him. Ming Yun and Rong Chuan felt that living at home would waste their time on commuting to school, so they moved to the academy. Now only Ma Qiang and his wife are taking care of Chunfen in the Pingzhou house."

Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and said, "This will help them improve their self-care abilities. As for Ma Qiang and his wife, we don't need to take them with us when we leave for Changyi after the autumn harvest. Let them look after the house in Lijia Village."

Zhulan thought so too. Someone must be kept in her hometown, as the eldest daughter was still there. Keeping someone at home could not only pass on information, but also look after the land and the house. However, when there were more servants in the future, someone would still have to be sent back to her hometown, so that at least the two families could maintain a check and balance.

Zhou Shuren got up and went to the front yard. Zhulan also felt that there was not enough time. Fortunately, she and Zhou Shuren had written a list of things to buy for her eldest brother, so she didn't have to think about what to prepare. Besides, her eldest brother had already prepared everything and had experience, so she just had to leave the purchase to him.

Zhulan wrote the letter and checked it twice to make sure there was nothing missing. Then she called Boss Zhou and said, "Go to the West City house and ask your uncle to come over."

Boss Zhou was stunned, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Why did he feel that his mother was not celebrating, but seemed to be in a hurry for something?

Zhulan said, "We are going to set off for Lizhou City soon."

Boss Zhou was dumbfounded. Shouldn't he go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors first?

When Zhou Lao Da saw his mother lower her head and continue writing, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Anyway, all he had to do was to be obedient.

Zhulan heard footsteps and wondered if Boss Zhou had just left. Did he forget something?

"Mom, Dad asked me to come and get the title deed to this house."

Zhulan heard what Changlian said and knew that Deng Xiucai was coming. "Wait a moment."

Chang Lian stood outside and did not enter the house. He knew that his mother must have hidden the valuables somewhere, and it would be better for him not to know.

In fact, Chang Lian was really overthinking it. Zhulan had never hidden since she came to the capital. She had always been in the cabinet.

Chang Lian was happy that his father noticed him, but he was also unhappy that his father didn't say a few words to him. His father didn't even ask about his life in Pingzhou City. If his mother hadn't seen him the first thing yesterday and cared about him, he would have thought that things had returned to the time when his father didn't care about his mother.

Chang Lian comforted himself that his father must be too busy, so he neglected him.

Chang Lian was soon happy again. His father was actually the prefect, a fifth-rank official. Especially when he knew that he was sent out this time and Wu Ming was only a seventh-rank county official, he was so happy that he thought his father was still the most amazing.

Zhulan took out the house deed and handed it to Changlian, and then handed the letter to Changlian, "It's just right, you go find a team of cars and get ready to leave for your hometown as soon as possible."

Chang Lian was a little dumbfounded. He had already known from his eldest brother that his father was going to take up a new post. "Mom, why should I go back home? Even if I don't go to Lizhou City with him, I will stay in the capital. My brother-in-law wants to introduce me to his master, and I want to become his disciple."

Zhulan's hand froze, she really forgot about it, ah, she was a little crazy, there were so many things, brother-in-law Chang Lian had returned to Beijing, he was still a fifth rank official, and his official position was Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue.

The two families need to meet, which will waste a day. Also, Changyi wants to become his disciple, so Zhou Shuren also has to visit in person.

Chang Lian was the one who was anxious, "Mom."

Zhulan rubbed her forehead and said, "I forgot. So you go and deliver the deed to your father first. I'll write a page with some instructions and put it in an envelope. You can come over later to take the letter and deliver it."

Chang Lian let out a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't really want him to go back home, that was fine. "Yeah."

Zhulan took the letter back to the room and filled out the content. Since Chang Lian could not go back, Dong had to make arrangements. Zhulan thought as she wrote, it was a real mess. She was worried about Dong coming to the capital alone, and she was also worried about Chang Lian staying in the capital.

What kind of place is the capital city? It is a place where people are cruel and ruthless. Moreover, with Yao Zheyu in the capital city, she has been on guard all the time. It would be hard for Chang Lian to stand up to Yao Zheyu.

Zhulan stopped writing and thought to herself, Jiang Ming's master did not hold an official position, and he was able to train Jiang Ming, so he must be a capable person. Zhou Shuren needs help when he goes to Lizhou City. The more Zhulan thought about it, the more she felt that there was hope!
