Chapter 566 Jade Butterfly
Zhulan also understood Zhao's feelings. As a mother facing a child without a name, Zhao felt sad. She sighed and said, "Zhou Yudie. Die and Die have the same pronunciation. Die means seventy or eighty years old. I gave her this name in the hope that Yudie would be healthy and live a long life."
She thought of the name of her third granddaughter herself, and she had thought of it a long time ago.
Zhao's heart was no longer sad, and she silently said to Yudie, "Thank you, mother."
The unhappiness in Mrs. Dong's eyes also disappeared. It was not easy for the second sister-in-law to have a daughter-in-law. She shouldn't be angry about this. Forget it. Just steal the limelight from the daughter-in-law. She was still generous, "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law. The third niece has a good name with a good meaning."
Zhao looked a little uncomfortable. She finally realized that she shouldn't have mentioned her daughter's name today. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain it. She could only say dryly, "Thank you, Third Sister-in-law."
Su Xuan smiled and took out the golden sheep from her purse, "This is a gift for my niece."
Su Xuan had already done it, and she thought it was all in vain yesterday. Fortunately, the child was still born in the Year of the Sheep.
Zhulan just remembered after seeing it, "Look at me, I forgot to give Yuyi a birth present. This is a gold lock and gold collar."
Li also gave a pair of gold bracelets, and Zhao a gold lock.
Later, Xue Han, Wu Ning and others came over. After they had seen the children, Mrs. Dong was also tired.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Zhou family had a new member, and the house became lively again.
Zhulan returned to the yard, and Zhou Shuren put down the book in his hand and said, "I'm back."
Zhulan rubbed her neck and said, "This year has passed. In a few days, Rongchuan should leave to take the Tongsheng exam."
Zhou Shuren, "Yes, it's time to prepare for the journey, and Jinzhou should also prepare."
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, "Mingyun is well educated. What do you mean, should we go back with Rongchuan in two years or this year?"
Zhou Shuren said, "Mingyun is only thirteen after the Chinese New Year, he is too young, and our family doesn't need a child prodigy. It's not too late to wait for two years. Let Rongchuan go back by himself this year."
Zhulan thought of the brothers of the Wu family. "Wu Ming's two younger brothers, Wu Yong, is eighteen this year, and Wu Ting is sixteen this year. Will they also take part in this year's Tongsheng exam?"
Zhou Shuren ate fruit and said, "Wu Ming didn't say anything in his letter, but according to my age, I should take the Tongsheng exam this year."
Zhulan said, "The house in Pingzhou has been sold, and there is no place to live in Pingzhou. You can write a letter to Wu Ming and ask him. If the two brothers of the Wu family live together, they will also need someone to take care of them. The house in Pingzhou should still be kept by the Wu family."
Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan and said, "Don't worry, Rongchuan will go back to take the exam, I will let Shenxing follow him."
Zhulan asked, "Can Shenxing leave you?"
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "There won't be any trouble in the next year or so, so it's okay for Shenxing to leave."
Zhulan blinked, "Rongchuan is sixteen this year. You don't plan to let Changzhi take part in this year's provincial examination. If Rongchuan passes, will you let him take part in the provincial examination?"
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I have no reason to stop Rongchuan. If he wants to participate, then he can participate. It all depends on his own wishes."
"Indeed, Rongchuan is a reassuring child."
The next morning, the day when the daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home, only Su Xuan from the Zhou family returned to Lord Wang's home.
Su Xuan came back in the afternoon and brought back some gossip, "Mom, Miss Ran San almost had a miscarriage."
Zhu Lan was speechless, "What news did your cousin get?"
Tao is so well-informed. This is Jinzhou Prefecture, which is close but not the capital. Yet he is so well-informed even during the New Year. I really admire him.
Su Xuan almost laughed out loud when she saw her mother-in-law's incoherent expression. Her cousin's hobby couldn't be stopped even during the New Year. "I got the news about my cousin's aunt from Lord Min's residence."
Zhulan understood. During the New Year, Liu from the Min Mansion did not want the Ran family to have a peaceful New Year. Liu was always paying attention to the situation. This news must have been deliberately released to annoy Ran Qi. "It's not peaceful during the New Year."
Su Xuan peeled an orange, "There's no way to stop it. Miss Min San passed away before the New Year. The Min family is in a gloomy mood, but the Ran family is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. These two families have been fighting all the time. How can the Min family be willing to accept this?"
Zhulan took the orange that Suxuan had peeled and said, "Before destruction, one must go crazy."
The Min family has been particularly quiet in the last six months, and has been keeping a low profile. With the death of the two young ladies of the Min family, the Min family, which was already gradually heading towards its end, is it really willing to be destroyed?
Anyway, if it were her, she would definitely pull up the back pad.
Su Xuan spent a lot of time in Jinzhou, and shuddered, "It's better to stay away from the Min Mansion in the future."
She didn't want to be plotted against and get into trouble.
Time flies, and the first month of the year has passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Zhou Shuren said, there has been no more trouble. Under the bloody knife of last year, all those who had ulterior motives have been dormant.
It was February now. Zhulan counted the days and realized that Rongchuan had been gone for twenty days. He should have arrived back home. In a few days, he would be ready to take the examination for the title of Tongsheng.
Butler Ding came in, "Madam, the mistress of the Xu family is here."
Zhulan said, "Please come in."
After a while, Xu Zhao came in with Qi. Xu Zhao greeted them first and then said, "Today I am here to say goodbye."
Zhulan had expected the Xu family to leave, "When will they leave for the capital?"
Xu Zhao was very excited. The Xu family served the prince. "He will leave the day after tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye."
Zhulan still gave some advice, "I don't know if the road to the capital will be safe or not, so it's better to be prepared."
The Xu family was in Jinzhou. At first, they were protected by the Zhou family. Later, people from the capital came to take over. We only learned from Zhou Shuren that it was the prince who took over.
Once you leave Jinzhou Prefecture, the road to the capital will be an opportunity to strike.
The fact that nothing happened to the Xu family during the purge was equivalent to telling everyone that the Xu family was a spy. A line for making gold was lost, and the people who were brought in with the gold were also lost. The Xu family was still very dangerous. Anyway, if she was the one behind it, she would be eliminated if she got the chance.
Xu Zhao was very grateful for the reminder, "I'm ready now."
It is precisely because the situation is too dangerous that the Xu family has to go to the capital. If it were not for the serious difficulties in handling the family business, they would have set off before the New Year. However, the Xu family has the patience to wait. As long as they survive the crisis, the future of the Xu family will be guaranteed.
Zhulan didn't say anything, but gestured for Xu Zhao to have some tea.
Li arrived soon and invited Qi to go to the courtyard of the main house.
After more than an hour, the mistress of the Xu family and Qi left, and I thanked them again before leaving.
In the government office, Zhou Shuren looked down at the household registration files of previous years. There was a shadow above his head. He looked up and asked, "Master Wang is free?"
Since the Chinese New Year, Lord Wang has returned to his own place to work, but even though he is gone, he still comes over from time to time.
Lord Wang pulled over a chair, "Sir."
Zhou Shuren lowered his head and continued to look at the household registration files. He didn't know until he looked at them that there were so many problems. He thought that the household registration in Jinzhou was being re-registered this year, and a lot of the previous household registration files had been lost. The population re-registration would be a huge project, but the benefits would also be great.
Master Wang looked at Master Zhou who continued to work, "Master?"
Zhou Shuren raised his head, "Master Wang does seem to be very free."
Lord Wang felt a chill on his back. After Lord Zhou came to Jinzhou, the efficiency of the government office increased, but the workload increased. He didn't want to be remembered, "Sir, I have something to talk to you about."
