Chapter 592: Gap

Zhou Shuren touched the paintings, his eyes full of tenderness. In order to protect the Zhou family, his wife and children, he had no time to recall the past. His eyes were fixed on the front. These paintings brought back all his memories. As he walked forward, Zhulan stood behind him and watched him.

Zhou Shuren carefully put down the paintings, "I like this gift very much. When we die, these paintings will be buried with us."

Zhulan, "We thought of the same thing."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "This is called telepathy."

Zhou Shuren’s birthday was over, and Chang Lian and his wife were ready to set off. However, because Jiang Ming’s leg needed a few days of rest, they set off two days later than scheduled.

Chang Lian and his wife had packed their luggage, and Zhulan also learned from Mrs. Song that Dong Yiyi's dowry had been basically dealt with, and some of her clothes had been pawned. Jiang Ming had become a penniless person, and it was fortunate that he was not implicated by Jiang Muchen. His old clothes could no longer be worn, and some of the cloth clothes could only be kept for looking at.

Dong Yiyi's jewelry, some of which had no restrictions were kept, and those that could not be taken away were also disposed of.

Zhulan prepared luggage for Dong Yiyi without any kind intention. Dong Yiyi was not without dowry. Even if she was penniless, she still had Dong Shi and the Dong family. Her actions represented Zhou Shuren, so it was still a good idea.

Changzhong is a man who can't sit still. He wants to go out to play as soon as he wakes up in the afternoon. He even forces Zhulan to go with him. Zhulan is helpless but still wants to go out with the boy.

Zhulan looked at Changzhong running in the garden and said with a sigh, "Why can't this kid just sit there and play? If I were seven or eight years younger, I wouldn't be so tired."

Mrs. Song said, "The mistress is also very young."

Zhu Lan waved her hands, "Before, I believed it when I was young, but now I don't believe it anymore. I know that I am getting older and older."

No matter how well she takes care of herself, she can't keep up with the speed of aging. Zhou Shuren is aging, and so is she. Especially after she gave birth to Changzhong, it can be seen even with her good care.

Zhulan heard her son's laughter and followed him helplessly, only to see that there was not only Changzhong, but also Jiang Mulan and Yulu.

The two stood up to greet each other. Zhulan asked Yulu, "Why didn't you go to class?"

The teacher didn't ask for leave today, so why is this girl in the garden?

Yu Lu said, "Grandma, I forgot to bring my chess manual. I told my teacher to come back and get it."

Changzhong interrupted, "Niece, I'll go to class with you."

Zhulan was amused, "You are a good judge of people."

Yu Lu smiled and said, "Uncle, the last time you went to class with Auntie, the teacher had smoke coming out of his head."

Changzhong didn't understand, "Why?"

Yu Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "Because my uncle is mad at me."

The gentleman is afraid of the young uncle. Last time his painting was ruined, he was in a bad mood for several days!

Changzhong smiled, "I will definitely not move around."

Yu Lu shook her head. She didn't believe it. Her uncle was lawless in the Zhou Mansion. He even dared to touch grandpa's things, let alone her master's.

Changzhong was disappointed. Yulu smiled and said, "Uncle can go play with Minghui. Minghui likes him very much."

Changzhong shook his head violently, "No, that's like my mother."

Zhulan laughed out loud. Minghui really looked more and more like her. The eldest couple didn't dare to hit or scold Minghui. Currently, only Mingyun could control Minghui.

Yu Lu chuckled. The younger brother got better at using his face as he grew older. He used his face that looked like his grandmother's to trick his second brother. "Uncle, I'm going to get the chess manual first."

Changzhong held on tightly and stared at his niece.

Jiang Mulan bit her lip and said, "Uncle Zhou, let me play with you."

She didn't have to go to class, so she had time. She couldn't help but think, if, if only Uncle Zhou liked her, she could stay in the Zhou family.

Zhulan looked at Mu Lan. She didn't feel disgusted, but just felt emotional. Mu Lan and Mu Chen were not children anymore, and the two children understood in their hearts that they were too scared to think about it a few days ago, and now they were just leaving, so it was inevitable that they had other thoughts in their hearts.

The two children had resentment towards Jiang Ming. She knew everything about the family. The two children seldom visited Jiang Ming. On the contrary, Jiang Ming's leg condition had improved a little, and he was sober more often. He became very quiet and did not make any noise or act lazy. He also talked patiently with Dong Yiyi.

Although Changzhong likes to play, he is young but he understands that the girl in front of him is a stranger whom he has met several times. He pursed his lips and said, "Mom, I want to go home."

Yu Lu glanced at Mu Lan, bent down and kissed her uncle, "Grandma, the master is waiting for me, I'll go back to the yard first."

Zhulan held her son's hand and nodded, then said to Mulan, "It rained yesterday and it was very humid, so we went back first."

Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, then bowed.

Chang Zhong was held by Mrs. Liu. When he could no longer see the little girl, Chang Zhong said, "Mother, I don't like the girl just now."

The child's eyes were the brightest. Zhulan said, "In the future, you just need to know who you like and who you don't like. Don't say it in front of others."

Zhulan would not stop teaching her son just because he is young. There are many things that the little boy does not understand, and it is all because of her good teaching.

Jiang Mulan returned to the yard and saw her elder brother reading a book. She took the book and threw it on the table in anger, "Brother, how can you still concentrate on reading? We are leaving and going to live in the countryside."

As she spoke, Mu Lan grabbed her clothes uncomfortably. She could no longer wear fancy clothes. She was now dressed in plain clothes. The jewelry on her head was gone, leaving only two silver earrings. Her shoes were also plain. The more she thought about it, the more tears she shed. She was bullied in the capital, and she worked hard, but now she didn't even have the qualifications to be bullied. She was going to become a country girl.

Jiang Muchen also felt uncomfortable. From being a young master of an official family to being a commoner, the gap was too big. He could only stop thinking about it by studying. Looking at his sister, girls are the most sensitive. She had gone to the Zhou family. Although she could not compare with the young lady of the Zhou family before, the difference was not much. Now the difference was too big. His sister felt the most uncomfortable.

Dong Yiyi stood at the door, holding back the tears in her eyes. It would be better to leave early. The longer she stayed, the more uncomfortable the children's already sensitive hearts would become. After she left, they would slowly get over it.

Two days later, Chang Lian and his wife set off. There were eight carriages in total, of which Chang Lian and his wife occupied five, the Jiang family occupied three, Jiang Ming and Dong Yiyi occupied one, the two children occupied one, and the last one was loaded with luggage.

The whole family saw them off at the door. Zhou Shuren valued Chang Lian very much and was afraid of any accidents. If Shen Xing had not followed Rong Chuan and Jin Yan could not leave, Zhou Shuren would have wanted to send Jin Yan to follow. However, Zhou Shuren not only sent a servant with good martial arts, but also hired a bodyguard.

Zhulan looked at Changzhi. She was actually afraid that Changzhi would run away secretly. Fortunately, Zhou Shuren had been teaching him well for half a year, and Changzhi became very honest.

After Chang Lian left, Zhulan still felt unhappy. After all, of the four sons of Bai Li, the eldest and the second were busy with the business in the mansion and often went out. She was used to it. But in the past two years, Chang Lian had been hanging around in front of her and would often come over to chat with her.

After this man left, Zhulan was still in a daze.

Zhulan was not feeling emotional for a while, and Changzhi ran in like crazy with joy, "Mom, mom."
