Chapter 627 Preparing to Enter Beijing

Zhou Shuren was very satisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law's understanding. Now that everyone had left, he took off his shoes quickly and rested his head on Zhulan's legs, "This is comfortable."

Just now, when he was standing at the door, he listened to the chattering sounds in the house and his head ached. He finally had a few days off during the New Year and just wanted to clear his mind.

Zhulan massaged Zhou Shuren's head, "Li is really afraid of you."

Zhou Shuren closed his eyes because Li was the one he glared at the most. He didn't want to mention Li, "It's been a long time since the beginning."

Zhulan counted them in her mind, "It's indeed a lot, and they are all big things."

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand, indicating that she didn't need to massage her head anymore. "You didn't have time to rest this morning. Let's take a break together. We have a reunion dinner tonight."

Zhulan was indeed a little sleepy. After coming to the ancient times, she was a homebody unless she had something to do. It was time for her to take a nap. "Okay."

The third courtyard is the most lively. Boss Zhou and his gang all gather there. There is a reason for that. The first courtyard is not elegant, so Chang Lian and Chang Zhi don't like to go there. The second courtyard is well decorated, but a little deserted. The fourth courtyard is lively, but the county lord is there and they can't let go.

Finally, they all gathered in the courtyard of the third room, sat in the corridor, and chatted while looking at the scenery of the drifting snow.

Boss Zhou was eating peanuts with a little emotion, "When I was still in Zhoujia Village, I never thought that I would be in this day."

When he went out, everyone called him Master Zhou. As a commoner, he used to be very cautious when facing merchants.

Zhou Lao Er is not as sentimental as his eldest brother. He only looks forward. "Third brother, you are different from me and my eldest brother. You have to work hard!"

Considering the matter of Lord Ning, he is now very optimistic about Chang Lian!

Chang Lian was under great pressure. "I will definitely work hard to live up to my father's expectations."

Zhou Laoer nodded and looked at Rongchuan who was eating melon seeds. In his eyes, Rongchuan was a powerful boy who was not very conspicuous. In his heart, he understood everything. "Rongchuan, you are not young anymore. You are going to get married soon. You have to work hard too."

Rong Chuan was stunned for a moment, wondering why he was mentioned again, but he still replied, "Second brother, I understand."

He really understood that his uncle had already talked to him and that he should try his best this time. His original plan was to try again next time if he failed this time, but his uncle said that people's opportunities are always in front of them and they have to grab them themselves. If they miss it, they don't know what the future will be like!

Shi Qing looked at Zhou Laoer, then lowered his head and drank his tea.

Chang Lian looked at Shi Qing and said, "Another year has passed. You are not young anymore. It's time to think about starting a family."

Shi Qing paused, his eyes deepened. From what he heard, he didn't have to worry about marriage?

Chang Lian just wanted to give Shi Qing a reminder. Shi Qing had a hard time too, and he still cared about Shi Qing as a friend.

After hearing this, Boss Zhou said, "Now that Mingyun is old, I don't know what rules his parents have."

Changzhi put down his teacup, "Brother, you need to pay a betrothal gift to marry a wife. You have three betrothal gifts for the three sons of the first wife, and a dowry for the concubine. It's a big burden. Have you collected Mingyun's betrothal gift?"

Boss Zhou, "......."

He shouldn't have answered. Look at Changzhi's words, every word was like a knife, piercing his heart.

Chang Zhi saw that everyone was looking at him and smiled. "Ah, I will have two babies next year. When they are born, I will also work hard to save money. However, my wife said that even if I have seven or eight children, her dowry will be enough, but I can't rely on you as the head of the family, right?"

Zhou Lao Da and several others, "......."

They no longer want to care about Changzhi. This is just a show of wealth. Thinking about Changzhi's life after he got married, they feel jealous.

Especially Boss Zhou, he knew the amount of money in his pocket, and he had to bargain for more money. But what about Changzhi? He didn't know that the money in Changzhi's pocket was forced upon him by the county lord!

In the evening, they had a reunion dinner on Zhounian's birthday. Zhulan looked at the table full of grandchildren, which is very rare in modern times.

Zhulan paid attention to Mingyun. It was already the twelfth day of the lunar year, and it was time for him to think about marriage. Then she fell silent. Her thoughts became more and more in line with ancient times. Look, the child was only this young, and she already wanted to arrange a marriage for him.

This year's New Year was nothing special for the Zhou family. They celebrated it according to the routine of previous years. The only change was that the children in each family had grown up and there were more people. After the New Year, they all returned to their own courtyards to celebrate the Little New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere, and people get up early to celebrate the New Year.

In the capital, at the Ning Mansion, Old Ning did not expect that the Crown Prince would bring the Fifth Prince with him. It is the first time in all these years that his grandson is the Crown Prince.

Ning Xi looked at the fifth child beside the prince. He had never paid much attention to him. Later, when his status was restored, he could visit his sister openly and received a lot of news. Thinking of this, his eyes became more profound.

The Crown Prince came here today to express the emperor's intention to value Ning Mansion. Ning Mansion is no longer the same as before with the presence of Third Uncle. The royal family should express its stance, and through him, it is enough for the emperor to convey that he values ​​Ning Mansion.

This was not the first time that Zhang Jinghong came to Ning Mansion, but he was timid this time. Especially because of the look in his third uncle's eyes, he felt even more guilty, so he never dared to get close to Ning San.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the third day of the Lunar New Year. The New Year was basically over, and Chang Lian and Rong Chuan were also preparing to go to the capital. When Zhu Lan saw Dong coming, she knew what was going on, "Do you want to go with her to take care of her?"

Mrs. Dong held Yuyi in her arms and said, "Mom, Yuyi is old enough now. I want to take Yuyi with me to the capital this time."

Zhulan took the little granddaughter in her arms. The little girl couldn't wait any longer and kicked her feet to stand. "Then go, but bring more people with you."

Dong's lips curled up. She knew her mother-in-law would agree. Her mother-in-law was the most open-minded mother-in-law she had ever seen. "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan was confident in Dong's ability. Even if Dong didn't come to see her, she would still want to tell Dong, "The capital is not like home after all. This time, Mrs. Song will go with you. With her around, I can feel more at ease."

Mrs. Dong felt more at ease. She had known Mrs. Song's ability for many years. "Mother, Mrs. Song is going to the capital with us. Can you live without her?"

Zhulan, "In the past two years, I have gained two maids and a maid. I have enough for myself. When you arrive in the capital, you must ask Mrs. Song more to avoid being at a disadvantage."

Dong kept it in mind, "I will definitely remember it."

Zhulan also thought about going to the capital. She wanted to accompany her son and son-in-law, but unfortunately there were too many things to do at home. Wu Ning was also preparing to get married, and she, as the mistress, could not leave home.

Mrs. Dong left with the child. Zhulan picked up the dowry list that she had checked several times, read it carefully again, and asked Liuya to deliver it to Wu Ning.

Although He Shu did not go to Beijing to take the exam, the wedding date set earlier has not changed, and he has been busy with Wu Ning's marriage these days.

In the evening, Zhulan asked Zhou Shuren, "Chang Lian and his wife are going to the capital tomorrow. Do you have any plans?"

Zhou Shuren did have an arrangement, "This time, we should be careful in our actions and words."

"Is there no one around you who can act cautiously?"
