Chapter 669: Yao Yao's Marriage
Rongchuan looked at everyone who was depressed, with a smile in his eyes, "We should have gotten used to it a long time ago."
Chang Lian, "Yeah, I should have gotten used to it by now."
Li came down the steps and said, "Third sister-in-law, you have changed a lot this time. Look at your demeanor. You are the wife of an official."
Mrs. Dong was delighted to hear this and said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said. No matter how I change, I am not her sister-in-law."
Li was heartless and knew that her third brother's wife was different from her. She was different from her before. She was originally the wife of a scholar, and later the wife of a prostitute. But she was not an official after all. Now the distance between them was even greater. "You have worked hard on the way. Let's go back to the mansion."
Zhao was not as relaxed as her eldest sister-in-law, so she smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, you must be tired from the journey."
Dong replied, "I am indeed a little tired. I have been sitting for a long time."
Chang Lian smiled in his heart, thinking that it was all her own fault. The dress looked nice, but it made her very uncomfortable wearing it.
Boss Zhou didn't care what the woman said. He was particularly happy today and punched the third brother, "Good job."
Chang Lian covered his shoulder and said, "Brother, your punch is really strong."
Zhou Lao Er said to Rong Chuan, "Rong Chuan is also amazing, the third place winner."
Rongchuan felt embarrassed, "Second brother."
Boss Zhou laughed and said, "Let's go to the yard and talk about it."
This side is watched by people on the street.
Zhulan returned to the yard, "Well, this is the taste of home, I'm finally home."
Zhou Shuren put his fat son down. He was exhausted from carrying him all the way back. His hands were sore now. He warmed them for a while and said, "You must be tired from riding the carriage back. Let me massage your shoulders."
Zhulan took Zhou Shuren's hand and sat down, "I'm not tired, let's sit down and talk."
Zhou Shuren sat next to Zhulan, holding her hand and not wanting to let go. For the sake of this family, Zhulan went to the capital city to settle down. They had been separated for a long time and he missed her every day. Now that she is back, he just wants to hold her hand and look at her.
Zhulan patted Zhou Shuren's hand and said, "My son is watching!"
Changzhong covered his eyes and said, "I can't see. I can't see."
Zhulan smiled, "Little bastard."
Chang Zhong couldn't stay idle, "Mom, I have to go find Ming Hui, I'm going out to play."
Zhou Shuren watched the young man run off after saying that, muttering, "You said you missed me, but this guy didn't even bother to stay with me for a while."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Children are like this. Did you eat well when I was not at home? I don't believe what you wrote in the letter."
Zhou Shuren motioned to Zhulan to pinch his face, "I've gained weight these days."
He was lazy a few days ago. He ate a lot, lay down a lot, and would lie down instead of sitting, so he gained weight.
Zhulan saw that he had gained a lot of weight. "You are so careless that you still want to gain weight. Look at me. I have lost weight."
Zhou Shuren choked. The reason why he ate well was because of Zhulan. Now she was fat and she said he was careless. "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense."
Zhulan chuckled, "I missed you."
Zhou Shuren didn't feel embarrassed because he was old. According to their age in their hearts, they were still young. "Me too."
Xue Han was standing outside and couldn't move forward. She must have heard something. Oh my, my parents are so old, and yet they still speak so bluntly!
The water maid whispered, "Miss, let's wait a while before coming back."
Xue Han nodded, "Yeah."
Outside the Zheng Palace in the capital, Yao Wenqi was puzzled. The emperor had not summoned him for a long time. No, it should be said that the emperor usually never summoned him. Every time he summoned him, there must be something. Yao Wenqi recalled carefully that he had not been a presence recently and had been staying quietly in the mansion.
Eunuch Liu came out, "Lord Yao, the emperor wants you in."
Yao Wenqi took out his purse and handed it to Eunuch Liu, and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch, do you know what the Lord Xuan Ben wants?"
Eunuch Liu accepted the red envelope quickly and said, "Good thing."
Yao Wenqi's heart skipped a beat. If the emperor came to him for good things, it would usually be bad things. If it was bad things, it would be big things. What was he thinking about? He had already walked in. "Meet the emperor."
The emperor waited for a while before saying, "Get up."
Yao Wenqi's knees hurt. He had been kneeling for a while. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor spoke directly, "I heard that you investigated many of the candidates who took the imperial examination this year. Is this to select a husband for your legitimate daughter?"
Yao Wenqi thought to himself that he was in trouble. He was not surprised that the emperor knew everything about him. The emperor had been keeping an eye on the Yaohou Mansion. "Yes, my daughter is not young anymore. I was not careful before and damaged her reputation. After all, she is my daughter and I love her. I can only make plans for her."
The emperor snorted coldly. If Yao Wenqi really loved his daughter, he would be a good father to the second daughter. "I know that you love your daughter. I am afraid that you are overwhelmed by the choices, so I specially found a suitable husband for Miss Yao Er."
Yao Wenqi cursed in his heart. When he first investigated, he knew that the emperor must know about it. No one stopped him. He thought the emperor didn't care. Now that he had chosen someone, he came up to hate him. "May I ask your Majesty, who do you think is your favorite?"
The emperor smiled and said, "This year's second-class Jinshi is not very old and is unmarried and unengaged."
Yao Wenqi's heart skipped a beat. He was a second-class Jinshi, and he was not very old. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some advice. The Jinshi of this year are not particularly old."
The emperor looked deep in his eyes, "This man is from the capital, his name is Shi Qing, he is a promising young man, I think he is a good match for Miss Yao Er."
Yao Wenqi was struck by lightning. He knew Shi Qing, who was born into a merchant family. His heart was on fire. Yao Yao was a daughter of the Marquis's family. How could she marry Shi Qing? The more important thing was that Shi Qing had no connections. Her family background meant that she would be made to suffer. She could not help the Marquis's family at all. "Your Majesty."
The emperor interrupted, "I know you are so happy to have such a good son-in-law. I understand."
What else could Yao Wenqi say? Nothing. He was still happy, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was in a good mood. "Shi Qing is not young anymore, and Miss Yao Er is also old. The auspicious date will be in three months. I think it's a good date. What do you think?"
"Good day."
The emperor was satisfied. "Okay, you can leave now. Go back and prepare your dowry. By the way, the dowry of the daughter of the Yao Marquis's mansion will be very eye-catching. You know, everyone knows that the Yao Marquis's mansion has money."
Yao Wenqi knew that this was a warning to him, so he lowered his head and said, "I will take my leave."
In Jinzhou, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren talked a lot before they appeared together in the evening to have dinner with their children. Today, Zhulan and her group came back, and the whole family had a reunion dinner, which was also a celebration for Rongchuan and Changlian.
Zhou Shuren sat in the main seat, his eyes fell on Chang Lian, "Dad has nothing to say, Dad has seen your efforts, today's results are the result of your past sweat, the road ahead is still long, I hope you will continue to walk steadily step by step, come on, let's have a drink, Dad is happy for you."
