Chapter 507: Inferiority
Zhulan stood up and put away the needlework in her hands. When she came back, she glared at him and said, "Don't tease your son like that. If he cries, you can comfort him."
Why doesn’t Zhou Shuren learn his lesson?
Zhou Shuren watched his son slide his limbs like a little turtle, his eyes full of smiles, "Don't you think it's fun? It's so fun to lie on your back with your arms and legs spread out."
Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart. Even though her son was easy to coax, he would have a bad temper when he was angry. Zhou Shuren continued to coax his son to turn over. Zhulan was speechless. She would not coax him anyway.
With a cry, the little guy got angry, and lay on the ground without knowing what was going on, crying so sadly.
Zhou Shuren laughed out loud. That was enough. The little guy cried even more sadly. Zhou Shuren coughed and picked him up for fear that he would hurt his voice. "Okay, Daddy won't tease you anymore. Don't cry anymore."
Zhulan burst out laughing. Zhou Shuren was turning his son over and over, and his diaper fell off. This time, the little guy wet his pants and peed all over Zhou Shuren, almost on his face.
Zhou Shuren was stunned, then he gritted his teeth and looked at the brat who didn't cry, "Revenge."
How big is this!
Zhulan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She hugged the aggrieved kid and said, "Hurry up, the quilt and mattress are wet. Go change your clothes."
Zhou Shuren went down to the ground and tapped his son's nose, "How much have you peed on the quilt at home?"
The little guy was feeling aggrieved and about to cry again. Zhu Lan glared at him and said, "You're still teasing him."
Zhou Shuren went out to grind his teeth. He not only had to change his clothes, but also had to take a shower.
Liu Ya came in and changed the bedding, and Zhu Lan also changed her son's clothes. The little guy was dry and stopped crying. He lay down and played by himself. Zhu Lan laughed. Since she had a child, she had to make a few more beds with the bedding at home. The child was too young and couldn't control himself, and often wet the bed.
Time flies. Zhulan doesn't know what Zhou Shuren investigated, and she doesn't have the time to ask. In the blink of an eye, the wedding day has arrived.
Wu Ning also came back before the wedding. She brought back gifts and a lot of things for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren.
Because Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were not young in ancient times, the gifts Wu Ming sent were mostly medicinal herbs. Many of Wu Ning's jewelry were bought by the Zhou family. Wu Ming was embarrassed, but the ginseng and deer antlers were all of the best quality.
The day before Changzhi's wedding, it was the day when the bride delivered her dowry. The whole Jinzhou was staring at the county lord's dowry. Everyone knew that the county lord had money. The Su family made their fortune with the emperor. No one knew how much was robbed during the war, but everyone knew that the Su family had a solid financial foundation.
Even though a lot of land was given to the Su family, the Su family's wealth still made people greedy.
Zhulan and her daughters-in-law had been waiting early. Zhulan didn't think that the county lord would ostentatiously publicize all his background.
Li was very curious, "Mom, how much dowry will the county lord bring?"
Zhulan, "You'll know in a moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, the first load of dowry came into the yard. Zhulan did not buy any furniture for Changzhi's yard. These were all prepared by the county lord, who came to measure the dimensions long ago.
The bed, cabinets, etc. were all made of the best materials, but these were not the highlights. The highlights were the fields, houses, and shops. What dazzled Zhulan the most was the jewelry, which was filled to the brim when she opened the box.
Changzhi's yard was not small, but it still could not accommodate a total of eighty-eight sets of dowry.
Zhulan knew that the county lord had an idea in mind. Too little would not do, as everyone knew that the Su family had money. Too much would be ostentatious. For a second-rank official, eighty-eight rank would be just right.
Among the eighty-eight chairs, there were eight for adding makeup, which was quite a lot, and the Wang family provided two of them.
There are three copies of the dowry list. Zhulan has one here, one is registered with the government office, and the other is in the county lord's own hands.
The dowry was delivered, the furniture and beds were laid out, the red curtains were hung, the bridal chamber was decorated, and the dowry was locked up.
Zhulan brought her three daughters-in-law back to the courtyard. When there were no outsiders around, Li patted her chest and said, "Oh my goodness, eighty-eight stands, representing shops and houses. I can't even count them all."
Li was really enlightened. The jewellery in her dowry made her eyes hurt. She felt emotional in her heart that the county lord's dowry would belong to the fourth wife's grandchildren in the future. The children of the fourth wife had won before they were even born.
Zhao was in a daze. This was only the official dowry. She didn't know how much silver she brought in privately. Zhao looked at her sister-in-law with the rest of her eyes. The pearl necklace on her sister-in-law's hand was given by the county lord!
Zhao secretly thought that she didn't know whether the young lady could catch the county lord's eye.
Dong was already under a lot of pressure from having a county lord's brother and sister-in-law, but now when she saw the dowry, the difference was so huge that she lost all motivation.
Xue Han was the calmest. She often went to the Wang residence, and the county lord did not avoid her when handling the dowry list. She had some idea in her mind.
Zhulan finished browsing the dowry list. The list was very detailed. There were five houses in total. One was a gift from the emperor, one was a newly purchased three-story house. These two were both in the capital. There was also a house in Jinzhou where the county lord lived, and the other two were in the ancestral land.
The smallest house has three courtyards.
There are more shops, three in the capital, two in Jinzhou, two in Pinggang, and six in the ancestral land.
There were fields, a manor near the capital, a manor of 150 acres in Pinggang, and the rest were in the Su family's ancestral land.
Zhulan stared at Pinggang's house. The county lord's investment vision was exactly what she wanted.
Zhulan took a quick look at the other jewellery and slowly closed the dowry list. She couldn't calculate it in detail, as it would make her feel inferior. Wow, the Zhou family is still not well off.
