Chapter 617: The More Dangerous the Place, the Safer it Is

Zhulan was a woman and she was not very familiar with Wu Yong. After learning that Wu Yong's engagement was chosen by Wu Ming, she did not ask any more questions and let Wu Yong go to rest.

Zhulan waited for Wu Yong to follow Rongchuan and was filled with emotion, "All the children back then have started their own families now."

She almost forgot what the children looked like when she first arrived.

Mrs. Song, "I have my own family and responsibilities. This is growing up."

"Yes, they are all grown up. Tomorrow, when Wu Yong goes to buy a house, you can go and tell the second brother to take Wu Yong with him."

Mrs. Song: "Yes."

After dinner, Zhou Shuren took Wu Yong to the study room to chat for a while. Zhulan finished bathing her son, and Zhou Shuren came back. "Have you been chatting for so long?"

Zhou Shuren took his son, who was wrapped in clothes, and tucked him into the quilt. "We talked a lot. You know that Wu Ming's county is near the border, and he has been paying attention to the movements of foreign tribes. Wu Ming conveyed that even if there is no severe weather such as snowstorms this year, the border will not be stable."

"Ah, so Wu Ming asked Wu Yong to come to Jinzhou to buy a house. He was afraid of danger so he arranged for his two younger brothers to come here."

Zhou Shuren took some warm clothes and put them on his son who was about to get out of bed. "Well, Wu Yong told me that you should let him live at home."

"I think that given the relationship between the two families, if I move in, I can take care of it. However, after listening to what you said, if we want to settle down here, we should buy a house. This way, Wu Ning will have another place to go back to after becoming a monk."

Zhou Shuren was somewhat worried about Wu Ming. "If there really is a war, I don't know if Wu Ming can protect himself."

Zhulan paused while wiping her son's hair. "Of course he can do it. Wu Ming is not an ordinary person."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Indeed, the court received a large sum of money last year, and most of it was used on the soldiers. The fighting capacity is incomparable to what it was before."

Zhulan saw Mrs. Song coming in and picked up her chubby son, "I'll go and coax him to sleep."

"good."

The next day, Zhou Laoer helped Wu Yong buy a house quickly. The house was a courtyard with two entrances. Wu Yong only brought a personal servant and a groom with him, as he needed to rest after buying the house.

Fortunately, there is Zhou Laoer, the know-it-all in Jinzhou. Although Zhou Laoer is not good at scientific examinations, he has his own ways. In addition, as the second master of the Zhou family, he is familiar with all kinds of people in Jinzhou. He helped Wu Yong to purchase furniture and other things, which was a great help to Wu Yong.

In one day, I had bought almost everything for the house and saved a lot of money.

At dinner, Wu Yong expressed his gratitude, "Today, thanks to my second brother for his help. I would like to offer you a glass of wine."

Zhou Laoer was very happy. He helped attentively not only because of his mother's request, but also because he wanted to build more connections for his son. "It's too polite. We have a close relationship. This is what we should do."

Boss Zhou looked at Chang Yi. He could not learn Chang Yi's tactfulness no matter how hard he tried. In the whole Jinzhou, Mr. Zhou's name was very famous.

However, Boss Zhou looked at his eldest niece Yu Shuang. He felt that Chang Yi's tactfulness had some influence on her. She thought that the niece was just like her father. He had heard some rumors from her that Yu Shuang was very scheming. She even asked him to talk to Chang Yi more!

Zhulan looked at Wu Ning. Everything was different when her brother came. Wu Ning seemed to have a new self-confidence. His confidence came from the heart.

In the Prince's Mansion in the capital, the Prince and his third uncle sat opposite each other. "Third uncle, is it okay living here these days?"

Ning Xu took the bowl and drank, "It's good, but the emperor is still very brave and let me live in the prince's mansion. There are many people watching you here."

The prince looked at the bowl in his uncle's hand. It seemed that it was difficult to change his habits. "The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Who would have thought that my uncle was the Ning Sanlang of the past?"

Ning Xu stroked his beard and sighed, "I'm so close to home, but I can't get even a step closer."

The prince felt uncomfortable. He said that the Laining family was the one who had sacrificed the most for his father. It was said that his eldest uncle had saved his father and his father had even drunk his blood. His father was able to live thanks to his eldest uncle. When the second uncle arrived, it was the eldest uncle who protected his father with all his perseverance and he was relieved only when he saw his second uncle.

Ning Xu looked at his nephew, the prince. When he passed away, this little guy was not that old. Look at his profile. He really looks like the emperor. "Drink."

Time flies, and it is already late December. The snow that had stopped for a long time seemed to have stopped, and it continued to snow all day and all night.

The servants of the Zhou residence started clearing the snow in the morning. If they didn't do it for an hour or two, a thick layer of snow would have accumulated.

Zhulan sat by the fire and said to the maid, "Count the amount of cotton left at home and have Xiu Niang make some quilts for you. Also, take out the cotton-padded clothes that you and Wu Ning can no longer wear and use coarse cloth to make new cotton-padded clothes."

Xue Han, "Mom, I'll get busy then."

"Go ahead, your sisters-in-law, I'll notify them."

"Um."

Zhulan asked Liuya to notify all parties, then stood up and rummaged through her closet. She had so many clothes, as she had made many of them for the banquets she attended. Each piece of clothing was about 80% new, but it was a pity that the materials of the clothes were too gorgeous and ordinary people could not wear them, so she had to have them remade.

Zhu Languang found four cotton-padded jackets by herself, and together with Zhou Shuren's, there were eight in total. These were only those from the past two years; the earlier ones had all been taken apart.

Finally, after counting all the rooms, it was found that the eldest room had the most unwearable cotton-padded clothes. Li's reluctance to throw them away remained unchanged, so even though many of them were donated to the Li family, she still had a lot of them saved.

The second wife had the least. Mrs. Zhao was clever and skillful. When she had nothing to do, she would make clothes and would alter those that were unwearable long ago.

Mrs. Dong from the third house was a very tidy person. She had disposed of all the clothes that could no longer be worn early on, and there were only a few pieces left.

As for the fourth room, it was the most luxurious in the house. There was no unwearable clothing, and they brought in quite a few extra cotton-padded clothes.

Zhulan looked at the clothes in the fourth room and blinked, "Suxuan, how many cotton-padded clothes have you made this year?"

Su Xuan was a little embarrassed, counting on her fingers, and said, "Mom, my belly is growing fast, so I made cotton clothes according to the month so that they would fit me well. You see, I can't leave my husband behind, so I made as many as I made for him. Not many, twelve in total."

Zhulan, "........"

As expected of the Zhou family, it’s so luxurious!

Li was stunned when she heard this. She counted with her chubby fingers, "My goodness, my sister-in-law's cotton-padded clothes for one year are equivalent to my cotton-padded clothes for three years!"

Mrs. Dong looked at her fourth brother's wife and then at her eldest sister-in-law. She felt that she was actually frightened of her eldest sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, you should change your habit of saving things and not wanting to throw them away."

Li looked at the pile of clothes in front of her, her face flushed, "I, I can't bear to part with them."

Zhulan was silent. For so many years, she had been trying to correct Li's bad habit, but unfortunately it was of no use. However, Li's clothes could help a lot.

Butler Ding came in and said, "Madam, there is a girl at the door who knocked on the door and fainted."

One hour later, there is another chapter
