Chapter 610: No Salt, No Oil

The next day, Zhulan asked Mrs. Song to inquire about the rumors about Yushuang and Yulu. The news she got was similar to what she guessed. As for Yushuang, only her appearance was good, and other aspects were ignored because of her face. Fortunately, Zhulan changed Yushuang's hairstyle, and the low-key dress did not attract rumors.

All the rumors about Yu Lu were good. Tao and Qi said personally that she was blessed, and as more and more people followed suit, the reputation of Yu Lu, who was blessed and had a calm temperament, like my aunt, spread.

Speaking of which, Zhulan was really grateful to Qi, because of the relationship with Miss Ran's second daughter, Ran Yan, and the fact that her granddaughter was raised by the empress and was very favored, Qi was very useful in the circle of officials' wives. Even Prince Shen's Mansion and County Lord Shen were very polite to Qi.

Mrs. Song whispered, "Ms. Yushuang also sent someone to inquire about the news this morning."

Zhulan, "You don't have to keep it a secret. If she wants to know, just tell her."

This is also a growth experience. My previous teachings to Yu Shuang were all talk, but now it is the real version. I just hope the little girl can get over it soon.

Mrs. Song: "Yes."

Zhou Shuren waited for Mrs. Song to leave, "You just worry too much."

Zhulan, "I would rather worry about it myself than have our granddaughter suffer misfortune in the future."

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand, "There's me too!"

Zhulan smiled and said, "Then you must find a good family for Yushuang."

Zhou Shuren choked. It was really hard to find a husband for his two granddaughters Yushuang.

Butler Ding came in and said, "Master, the masters have arrived."

Zhou Shuren stood up and said, "I'm going to the front yard."

"Um."

Zhou Shuren was reluctant in his heart, as the person he least wanted to see was Shen Yang. Unfortunately, except for He Shu who was still recuperating, the other four on the top five on the list all came.

Zhou Shuren knew several of them and had eaten together with them.

The first person, Liu Juren, spoke first: "We will leave for the capital tomorrow. We are sorry to disturb your rest today by coming to visit you."

Zhou Shuren looked at Liu Juren, who was not young anymore, 35 years old, and looked a lot like him back then. "Jinzhou is only half a day's journey from the capital, why did you go to the capital so early?"

Liu Juren explained, "It is precisely because it is close that we went earlier to choose a good place to live, so as not to worry about where to live when we get closer."

Zhou Shuren just asked casually, "You can't trust what Liu Ju said. Look at how they are dressed. They are all wealthy people."

Shen Yang felt uncomfortable, he was aiming for the first place, and was happy that He Shu's injury would affect his performance, but then Scholar Liu showed up. He also wanted to talk more with Lord Zhou, but Liu Ju was ahead, so he had to wait.

Zhou Shuren looked at the four judges. He knew clearly in his mind that the person who came to visit as a group must not be Shen Yang. Excluding Liu, he didn't know who the remaining Cao and Ma were.

Zhou Shuren felt heavy in his heart when he realized this. Over the years, how many people had passed the imperial examinations and entered the court and local government positions?

In Zhoujia Village, Chang Lian and his wife and Rong Chuan arrived at Jiang's house. Chang Lian said, "I have been away from home for many days. My parents must miss me very much. I will leave for home tomorrow. I came here today to say goodbye to my sister."

Xuemei asked reluctantly, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Chang Lian, "It has been postponed for some time and cannot be postponed any longer."

He was worried about his parents and his daughter, and didn't want to stay with Rongchuan for too long. He was afraid of any accidents since he and Rongchuan were both in the abortion.

Xuemei, "I'll go call your brother-in-law back, you two can have a good drink today."

Chang Lian smiled and said, "Okay."

Xuemei went to find her husband in person. On the way to the clan school, people greeted her. These were all brought to her by her natal family. The succession of her younger brother and Rongchuan meant that the Zhou family had successors. Her status in the Zhou family was greatly improved.

Xuemei was happy. She hoped that the Zhou family would get better and better. Thinking of her eldest nephew Mingyun and fourth brother Changzhi, her steps became lighter.

Dong and Chang Lian also went to Jiang's house.

Dong had been in Pingzhou for quite some time this time, and she missed her elder sister's family very much. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she looked at the well-organized courtyard and said, "My husband, I really admire my elder sister from the bottom of my heart."

Even if you fall into the dust, you still live seriously.

Chang Lian also admired his aunt, "Come in."

Dong Yiyi was very happy to see her sister and brother-in-law. "You are back. Why did you bring anything when you came? You have already taken good care of us."

Dong Chuchu said, "These are for the children. There are also medicines and medicinal wine that Chang Lian bought specially for my brother-in-law."

Dong Yiyi's eyes were red, "Thank you and your brother-in-law."

Without the care of my younger sister and her husband, their family would have no chance of settling in Zhoujia Village and living the stable life they have now. After my brother-in-law got pregnant, my brother and sister-in-law from my mother's family have become more restrained, and that's enough.

Chang Lian had already started chatting with Jiang Ming, who asked, "Will you and Rong Chuan go to Beijing together next year?"

Chang Lian nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Ming said, "I don't have anything to tell you. I can only talk about myself. You must keep calm."

Chang Lian smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law. However, brother-in-law, don't you plan to send Muchen to the Zhou clan school? I think it's better for children to go to school."

Jiang Ming looked at his son beside him and said, "I understand what you mean."

Chang Lian didn't say much. He hoped that Mu Chen would interact more with people of the same age, so as to avoid only being with his brother-in-law and becoming extreme in the future.

At Zhou Mansion in Jinzhou, Zhulan raised her eyebrows, "Why are you here so early?"

Zhou Shuren took his son in his arms and said, "You still won't leave any food for me."

Zhulan asked, "Are you worried?"

Zhou Shuren exclaimed, "Shen Yang will be going to Beijing tomorrow, so I just thought about it a little bit."

"Isn't this a good thing? Don't you wish he would leave sooner?"

Zhou Shuren held his son's chubby hand and said, "It's indeed a good thing, but it's a little early to go to Beijing."

I don't know what the plan is behind this. Are they not planning to wait until next year for the palace examination?

Zhulan was amused. "I think there are too many accidents, and you are stubborn. It's better to leave early. There is no need to stay in Jinzhou anymore."

Zhou Shuren laughed when he heard this, "That's true. There's no need to waste time on this."

Zhulan's eyes were full of smiles. Who let Zhou Shuren dig the trap? But Zhou Shuren had good eyesight and just refused to jump in. She had to change the plan. "The capital will definitely be very lively."

Zhou Shuren weighed his son who was listening with his ears tilted up, "You are not big, do you understand?"

Changzhong pouted, "Dad, are you saying I'm stupid?"

He didn't say anything, he really didn't understand!

Zhulan kissed her son and said, "Changzhong is the smartest."

The boy raised his neck proudly, "Dad, I'm smart. I know all the animals in the picture."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Really? Then daddy is going to test you."

"OK."

Zhulan sat aside and watched the interaction between the father and son. As long as Zhou Shuren was on day off, the little guy would stick to his father very much. Seeing Shuren doting on his son, Zhulan smiled. Zhou Shuren has a bit of a son-concept!
