Chapter 612 What Dream?
After dinner, Zhulan waited for her son to take a bath before asking, "What good news has happened today that has made you so happy?"
Zhou Shuren said happily, "Yu Lu has found her future husband, how can I not be happy?"
"Have you mentioned this to Lord Ran?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "Wang Ju's grandson. Wang Ju personally brought him here today."
Zhulan said happily, "The Tao family and I have always been a good match."
Then he paused.
Zhou Shuren asked, "But what's wrong?"
Zhu Lan pressed her eyebrows and said, "The Wang family has no descendants. Mrs. Tao has caused trouble for her daughter-in-law and sent her away many times. This daughter-in-law of Mrs. Tao has experienced it before. Why don't you use it on Yu Lu?"
Zhou Shuren was silent for a moment and said, "I have also considered a child foster husband, but it doesn't work. The Zhou family's status is no longer what it used to be. Yu Shuang and Yu Lu can only choose a good match. The Wang family is the best home for Yu Lu."
Zhu Lan sighed, "This is the rule that you have to follow when you are in this circle. The future of the two girls depends on themselves. All we can do is choose a good marriage for them."
Zhou Shuren paused and said, "I think the Wang family is planning to arrange a marriage because they are optimistic that the first wife can give birth to a son."
Zhulan understood, "I was wondering why Tao kept saying that Yulu was blessed and held Yulu's hand tightly, so he must have been thinking about her."
Zhou Shuren, "Wang Ju and I have verbally agreed to get married. We have agreed to wait two years before getting engaged. For now, it's fine for each family to know about it first."
Zhu Lan said quietly, "After all, the Zhou family is still the weak one."
Zhou Shuren was silent. "Yes, if the Zhou family's power was not so different from the Wang family's, and if I was not unsuited to being too high-profile, Yu Lu's personal visit would not have been delayed for two years."
Zhulan held Zhou Shuren's hand and said, "You have done very well. Don't take everything on yourself. We are protecting our children and moving forward. Now the eldest and second sons are able to manage the family business, and our daughter can stand on her own. Changlian and Rongchuan have also succeeded. They have become successful people. In the future, Changlian and Rongchuan will help you share your worries."
Zhou Shuren laughed, "You and I have put in so much effort, and finally we have seen the rewards."
Zhulan felt relieved. "Yes, I finally got my reward."
She only needs to control the information of the entire Zhou Mansion. As for the rest, there are daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law. She pays more attention to Shuren and her son.
At the Wang Mansion, Lord Wang teased his son and only let the nurse take him away when he was satisfied. "I really didn't expect that you would like Lord Zhou's second granddaughter Yulu so much."
If he hadn't seen that his wife wrote the entire letter to just one person, he wouldn't have mentioned it to his father.
Tao sighed, "I said and thought that I disliked Yang's eldest daughter-in-law, Li, but I also envied Li's filial piety. When people grow old, they want to see the filial piety of their descendants. I liked the little girl as soon as I saw her. I really liked her."
Lord Wang, "You haven't sent anyone to your son's courtyard in the past year or so, and your relationship with Lin has improved a lot. You don't have to envy Yang."
Tao choked. This is what men are like. They never understand women's minds. Her mother-in-law has been good to her. She has not cared about their family for a long time. How can she not be good? The hurt in the early years is still there. No matter how good she is to her, she can't get over it. "Since you and Lord Zhou have verbally agreed to get engaged, we should also show our sincerity."
Wang Ju, "I know what's going on. I'll take Sun Zi's jade pendant back tonight. You can take it to Zhou's mansion tomorrow. It's a token of our engagement."
Mrs. Tao was delighted. "Oh, I don't ask Yu Lu to give birth to a son like her mother. Two will be fine in the future."
Wang Ju asked, "By the way, I heard that the mansion has hired a doctor today?"
The smile on Mrs. Tao's lips faded, "Ah, my son's concubine is pregnant."
She really doesn't care much about illegitimate grandchildren. She cares more about legitimate children. This is engraved in her bones since childhood.
Wang Ju, "You should also pay more attention to your son. His child is really weak."
"knew."
The next day, Zhulan sent Tao away and stared at the jade pendant in the box. This was the sincerity of the Wang family.
Mrs. Song asked, "Madam, are you undecided?"
"Yeah, I think I should tell the boss and his wife, or I should keep it."
Mrs. Song knew when to speak. Her mistress was a person with strong opinions, and her mistress's words were not directed at her, but were just her own conversations.
Zhulan said, "Take the jade pendant to the main room and give it to Li. Tell her about the engagement and let her keep it in mind."
Mrs. Song: "Yes."
In the first room, Li was chatting with her daughter-in-law. She saw Mrs. Song and asked, "What's the matter, mother?"
Mrs. Song talked about the engagement and the token of love, then she put down the jade pendant and went back.
Li took a long time to react and said to the lady, "I am not dreaming, am I?"
The girl just attended a banquet, and her parents-in-law arranged a marriage for her so easily?
Yu Lu's eyes were calm. She had been mentally prepared for this, it was just a matter of time. "Mom, you are not dreaming. Grandpa and grandma have found a wonderful marriage for your daughter."
She really liked listening to her elder brother talk about the affairs of the officials in Jinzhou City. The more she listened, the more she understood. How many people were watching Lord Wang's family!
Li said in a daze, "Yushuang was the first to propose marriage."
Yu Lu said, "Mother, my sister will find a good marriage, it's just that the fate has not come yet. However, mother, please remember what grandma said. It's good for us to know this in our hearts."
Li didn't think about Yu Shuang anymore and covered her mouth. Yes, this must not be told to anyone. Wuwu, why did her mother-in-law tell her in advance? She really didn't want to know.
Yu Lu narrowed her eyes. Grandma also wanted to temper her mother's temper.
In the capital, the prince returned from his mother's palace. When he saw Eunuch Liu, he was like a life saver, "Prince, you are back."
The prince has figured out the pattern. He cannot see through his father, but he may see through Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu's reaction directly reflects his father's mood.
The prince entered the government hall, "Father."
The emperor cried out, and Eunuch Liu saw that the emperor instantly turned back into a good father and couldn't help but tremble even more!
The emperor put away the news he had just received and asked, "What does your mother want to talk to you about?"
Prince, "Mother had a lot of dreams today and missed me a little, so she asked me to come over."
The emperor frowned. He had not been to the harem in recent days. He was not keen on women. There were very few women in the harem, and they all followed him early in the morning. "How is your mother?"
The prince paused, "Your Majesty's complexion is not bad, but she tends to be distracted when she talks. Your son asked the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that Your Majesty did not sleep well today."
The emperor was very worried and asked hurriedly, "Did your mother tell you what she dreamed about?"
