Chapter 675: Visiting Card
Jiang Yong rubbed his hands. This relative was a high-ranking official. He was afraid of the aura of this uncle Jiang Du. He replied nervously, "Okay, okay, we will enjoy ourselves here. Xuemei is a filial child and treats us very well!"
Zhou Lao Er continued, "I have to ask Uncle about this, and he asked us to say hello to Uncle."
Jiang Yong was excited. "Oh, my in-laws are so busy but they still think about us. We are fine, everything is fine."
Jiang Wangshi didn't dare to speak and could only sit there. She used to be afraid that her in-laws would bear a grudge against her, but after meeting the eldest son of the Zhou family several times, she felt at ease. Now her life was good and she was the best dressed among the old ladies in the village. Sometimes she would think back to the time when she must have encountered something dirty, so her mind was not clear.
At this time, Jiang Sheng came back with Jiang Du. Jiang Sheng came in and said, "Big brother, second brother, you have worked hard on the journey."
Boss Zhou smiled and said, "We didn't rush this way. It's not tiring if we walk slowly. You're sweating all over after running back. Come sit down and take a rest."
Zhou Laoer waved at Jiang Du, "Jiang Du has grown so big, come and let your second uncle take a look."
Jiang Du felt a little embarrassed when being hugged by his second uncle, "Uncle, second uncle."
Xuemei looked at her second brother. Her second brother loved his son, but her second sister-in-law was injured, so Mingrui was the only one left. Now even Jiang Du loved him!
Jiang Sheng took a breath and said, "Brother, why did you bring back so many boxes?"
Boss Zhou took out an envelope from his arms and said, "These boxes contain the dowry that Dad and Mom gave to my eldest sister. This envelope contains the dowry list. When you have time, go to the government office to register it."
Xuemei was stunned, "Didn't mother say that Xuehan would be given to me when we get married? Why did you mention sending it to me?"
Zhou Lao Da was also unclear, "Mom didn't tell me, but she wrote you a letter, and it should have been written in the letter."
Xuemei took the list and letter and said, "Thank you, elder and second brothers, for delivering them."
Boss Zhou waved his hands, "It's not hard, wait, tomorrow you and I will go to the county, and I will buy you a house and a shop, this is also a dowry."
Jiang Sheng was stunned. His wife had told him that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would supplement the dowry. He thought of the box in the yard and felt a little dazed. The dowry was too heavy.
The old couple of the Jiang family felt warm all over when they heard this. These dowries were to be given to the descendants of the Jiang family. These would all belong to the Jiang family in the future. They were very excited.
In Jinzhou, Zhulan personally received Doctor Liu, "Sorry to trouble you, old man."
Imperial Physician Liu came seven days ago and examined Su Xuan's pulse carefully. It looked like she was nine months pregnant and could give birth at any time, so Imperial Physician Liu came to take care of her.
Doctor Liu stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, this was all agreed upon in advance. The fact that these two children were not born prematurely is better than I expected."
Zhulan's smile deepened, "Yes, it's not easy for the twins to survive now."
Doctor Liu said, "I will go check the patient's pulse first, so I can feel more at ease."
"Master, this way please."
Zhulan and Doctor Liu arrived at the fourth room, which had the most maids and servants, and now there was also a midwife. When they entered the room, Su Xuan leaned against the cushion and felt a little drowsy!
Doctor Liu signaled Su Xuan not to get up, and then examined her pulse and said, "It will only last for a few days. Pay more attention in the next few days."
Su Xuan was very nervous. The baby in her belly had been tormenting her, and now that the baby was about to be born, she was a little scared.
Zhu Lan noticed that Su Xuan's face was pale, and hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, relax. Yes, breathe in, relax."
She was really afraid that Su Xuan would scare herself and the baby would be born prematurely. In a day or two it would be almost nine months.
Su Xuan calmed down and felt much better. "Mom, I'm fine."
Doctor Liu stood up and said, "I will go to rest first. If you need anything, please call me anytime."
Su Xuan thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu."
Zhulan and Doctor Liu left together, asking Mrs. Song, "Do you think they are two boys, or two girls? Or a dragon-and-phoenix twin?"
Mrs. Song, "The dragon and phoenix fetus have a good meaning."
Zhulan laughed. Mrs. Song was indeed a good choice. She also hoped that they would be boy and girl twins. Twins were not as popular in ancient times as they are now.
In Zhoujia Village, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er met the head of Zhou clan.
Clan leader Zhou's tone was full of regret, "It would be better if Chang Lian and Rong Chuan came back."
This is the honor of the Zhou family. Ever since the golden list was passed here, the Zhou family has become completely prosperous. The county magistrate even came to see him in person. The Zhou family is getting better and better. He is willing to close his eyes now, but he still has regrets. He wants to see Zhou Shuren and Chang Lian again.
Boss Zhou, "The Zhou Mansion has become popular this year, so my second brother and I came back."
Chief Zhou: "Yes, we should be careful. We need to make a big fuss about this ancestor worship."
Mr. Zhou said, "Everything is up to you."
After hearing this, Clan Leader Zhou felt very comfortable. Zhou Shuren's family still respected him as the clan leader. "Okay, okay."
Zhou Laoer was chatting with some clan elders, and the room was full of liveliness and excitement.
The Zhou clan leader was the last to leave. The eldest and second eldest brothers personally escorted him out the door. When they reached the gate, the Zhou clan leader said, "You can go back now. Don't use it anymore."
Zhou Laoda looked at the patriarch, whose legs were not very agile, and said to Zhou Laoer, "The patriarch has done his best for the Zhou family."
Zhou Lao Er hummed, "I will take good care of the Zhou family in the future during Qingming Festival."
The next day was Zhou Shuren's day off. He took a rare break and played with Changzhong. Ever since Changzhong started to like digging wild vegetables, the grass in the entire garden looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
Zhulan took the visiting card to the garden, only to see Zhou Shuren and his son throwing dirt at each other. It was better not to let others see Lord Zhou like this. Zhulan coughed, and Zhou Shuren put his hand away guiltily.
Chang Zhong was covered in mud, "Mom, Dad bullied me."
Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth and said, "You kid, you're the first one to complain!"
Changzhong's eyes widened. He didn't expect you to be such a father. You're turning the tables on me!
Zhulan ignored the lawsuit between the father and son and handed the invitation to Zhou Shuren, "The visiting card of Shen Shuji is in the front hall. Chang Lian has already gone there. Do you want to see him?"
Zhou Shuren flipped through it and took a look. "I still have to meet him."
I ignored Shen Yang before because I was afraid of falling into a trap. Now it’s good to meet him and get to know him better. Who made me be closely related to Rongchuan?
Zhulan pointed at Zhou Shuren's clothes and said, "You should change your clothes."
Zhou Shuren lowered his head, his clothes were covered in mud, "It's time to change. I'll go change clothes first."
Zhulan held her son's hand and said, "Go change my clothes too. Look at how dirty they are."
Changzhong was still afraid of his mother. His father was very tolerant of him, but his mother was not. She stuck out her tongue, held her mother-in-law's hand and ran away.
Zhulan shook her head helplessly, "This child is too lively. I can't stand the hassle at my age."
Mrs. Song came back to her senses, "The young master will be stable in a few years."
Zhulan said, "I hope so."
