Chapter 628: Not Allowed to Visit
Zhou Shuren said, "It's okay."
Seeing Zhou Shuren's firm tone, Zhulan knew she couldn't change his mind, so she could only say, "You should also pay more attention."
Zhou Shuren knew what was going on. "Now everyone's eyes are on the capital. Don't forget Shen Yang. Right now, the capital is the most chaotic place. I don't want my son and Rong Chuan to get involved."
After much deliberation, he decided to let Shen Xing and Jian Yan go to the capital, one with Chang Lian and the other with Rong Chuan. Otherwise, he would not feel at ease.
Zhu Lan saw Zhou Shuren lost in thought and said, "Do you still remember what Zhang Datie said? Rongchuan was picked up in the capital."
Zhou Shuren naturally remembered, "So we should have someone follow Chang Lian and Rong Chuan."
Zhu Lan was a little worried. "We have never been afraid of the development of things. Rong Chuan has been walking step by step to where he is today. I am worried about his life experience. I just hope that there will be no changes in his marriage with Xue Han."
Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said, "It's too early to worry now. So many years have passed, and no one knows what the situation is. Don't worry too much. We just need to have a clear conscience."
Zhulan curled her lips and said, "Yeah."
Zhou Shuren closed his eyes. He had never thought about investigating Rongchuan's background. In his opinion, everything depended on fate and he should just let things take their course.
The next day, Zhulan stood at the door and watched the carriage set off. The carriage went farther and farther away, but Zhulan did not move at all.
Xue Han supported her mother, "Mom, Third Brother and Rong Chuan are gone, let's go back home too."
Zhulan looked at the missing carriage and said, "I always feel that this year will be an uneasy year."
Xue Han heard it clearly, "Mom, why do you say that?"
Zhulan held the lady's hand and said, "It's okay, let's go back."
Xue Han felt that her mother was worried, but she didn't say anything. It was useless for her to ask, so she changed the subject, "Brother Wu Ting didn't come before the New Year, and he still hasn't come even after the New Year. Sister Wu Ning's wedding is coming up in a few days, and I don't know if he can make it."
Zhulan counted the days, "It should be soon."
Xue Han looked at the brightly decorated Zhou Mansion. Sister Wu Ning was really going to get married. She couldn't help but think of herself, her face blushing. She hoped Rongchuan would pass the imperial examination and have candles in the bridal chamber. As for getting married, ahem, mother still wanted to keep hers.
Xue Han touched the bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet was not very expensive, but it was a gift given to her by Rongchuan at the end of the year.
Chang Lian's carriage was blocked in front of him shortly after it left the city gate. Chang Lian signaled his wife to cover the girl with some wind shield, then opened the window and asked, "What happened in front?"
"Sir, there is a carriage ahead whose wheels have fallen off. I want to take your carriage to the capital."
Chang Lian thought to himself, "Is there a problem?"
Jianyan replied, "I saw Shen Juren, the second place winner of this year's provincial examination, next day beside you, sir."
Chang Lian was surprised. He and Rong Chuan went to Beijing ahead of time because their family had a house in Beijing, so they went there ahead of time to adapt to the new environment. "How is this Mr. Shen?"
Jianyan has been following the adults all the time, "The adults don't pay much attention to Shen Juren."
Chang Lian didn't want to pay much attention to Shen Juren, but unfortunately when he saw Shen Juren coming, he didn't know how to say anything.
Shen Yang felt very unlucky that his carriage broke down just after leaving the city gate. After seeing Jian Yan, he felt that he was lucky. This must be the son of the Zhou family going to the capital. "Son Zhou is going to the capital. I am in trouble. Please help me."
Chang Lian looked at Shen Juren. This man glanced at Jian Yan, and it seemed that he could not escape. "The carriage at the back is empty. You can take it, young master."
Shen Yang was delighted. Now that he had struck up a conversation, it seemed that Mr. Zhou's son was easy to get along with. "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Chang Lian smiled and lowered the curtain. After the carriage waited for a while and continued to move forward, Dong patted the sleeping lady and whispered, "My husband, this carriage is broken by chance."
Chang Lian, "Yes, it is indeed a coincidence, but the date of our departure was set at the last minute, so it must be a coincidence."
Dong hugged her daughter tightly. She and her mother-in-law had learned not to think too much about Shui Ning. "It's better to put her down when we get to the gate of the capital."
Chang Lian: "Yeah."
At noon, Wu Ting and Wu Yong came together. Zhu Lan was relieved, "Finally they are here."
Wu Ting greeted him, "I should have come here as soon as I arrived, but I had to bring my luggage, so I went back home to make arrangements, and then I changed my clothes and came here. I'm sorry to bother Auntie for always thinking about me."
After hearing this, Zhulan understood. Of the four siblings in the Wu family, Wu Ning and Wu Yong have similar personalities, and Wu Ming and Wu Ting are similar. No wonder Wu Ting came last. "You came after many years. I appreciate your hard work along the way."
Wu Ting replied, "Although there was no war at the border, there were still many people coming to the inland with their families. The road was not smooth. Fortunately, they arrived in Jinzhou safely. I can now feel at ease."
After hearing this, Wu Yong lowered his head. He felt that he was somewhat useless and let his younger brother take on his responsibilities.
Zhulan saw that Wu Ting couldn't hide his tiredness. This kid must have worked hard. He probably didn't sleep a wink while carrying all his belongings along the way. "Wu Ning is waiting for you. You brothers and sisters can chat first, and then you can all rest at the mansion and go back tomorrow."
Wu heard that Jinzhou was at ease and was not in a hurry to pack up his belongings, "Auntie, let's leave first."
In the backyard, Wu Ning finally saw her third brother. She wanted to throw herself into his arms like she did when she was a kid, but she quickly stopped and stood there smiling, "Third brother."
Wu Ting was a little hesitant to recognize the girl. The last time he saw her, she had a worried look on her face. Now, she was not only gentle, but also cheerful. He was relieved. "Brother is here to take you to marry."
He rushed as fast as he could because he was afraid of missing his sister's wedding date, and fortunately he made it.
Afterwards, the three siblings chatted, and Wu Ting also looked at his sister's dowry. Wow, it was really a lot of dowry, especially when he saw the dowry added by the Zhou family, "The Zhou family really treated you as a daughter."
Wu Ning felt warm in her heart, "Yes, Auntie taught me a lot, and Sister Xuehan also encouraged me all the time. Auntie has put a lot of effort into my success today."
She no longer felt inferior or self-pitying. She learned to face everything bravely, to be forgiving and to be strong.
Wu Ting thought to himself that the Wu family owed the Zhou family a huge favor.
After entering the gate of Beijing City, Chang Lian got off the carriage and walked to the carriage where Shen Juren was sitting. "Mr. Shen, I have to go back home first. We will say goodbye here."
Shen Yang was stunned, "The Zhou family has a house in the capital?"
Please forgive him for never asking about it; all he knew about was the Zhou Mansion in Jinzhou.
Chang Lian felt that there was no need to hide it. If he looked it up, he would easily find out. "Yes, it was a house gifted by the emperor some years ago."
Shen Yang was shocked. He wanted to shamelessly follow him, but he had no relationship with the Zhou family, and the young master of the Zhou family invited him personally, so he could only get off the carriage with the servant and said, "Thank you for your help along the way, young master Zhou. I will come to thank you in person after I have settled down."
Chang Lian said calmly, "No need to thank me. Anyone would lend a hand. So goodbye."
Shen Yang pursed his lips. He understood what was meant. He was not allowed to come to the house.
