Chapter 683 Ran Wan

Zhulan smiled and said, "Everyone needs to grow up. You are just too easy-going. You were the youngest in the family before, so you inevitably thought less. You are still young, and it is not too late to grow up now. Mom is waiting to enjoy your blessing!"

Changzhi smiled and said, "I will not worry you anymore in the future. I will make sure you and your father enjoy the blessing of my son and feel proud of him."

Zhulan saw the fighting spirit in Changzhi's eyes, "Mom believes in you, you will definitely make mom and dad proud."

Who knows, maybe the Zhou family can really produce a top scholar!

In the evening, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren sighed, "In the past, no matter how we taught him, it was always a little inadequate. Now that he has a child and has become a father, he understands it himself."

Zhou Shuren said, "He had changed a lot before the child was born."

Zhulan really didn't know. After she returned home, she seldom contacted Changzhi. Changzhi was either studying or accompanying Suxuan. "That's because of his age."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Don't think about it, it's a good thing anyway."

"You're right. I don't think about it anymore. I just feel relieved. The children are grown up and can stand on their own in the future. We don't have to worry about them anymore."

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said, "Then we will just live alone and enjoy a few years of leisure."

Zhulan smiled and said, "I'm just worried that by then my arms and legs will be too old to move around easily."

Zhou Shuren, "......."

This is really possible. Look at your body now. You should take good care of yourself!

In a blink of an eye, it was Zhou Shuren's day off. Because Lord Ran and his family were not only guests, Zhulan also arranged the meals herself.

Zhou Shuren and Ran Zheng went to the study to chat, and took Changzhi and Mingyun away. Lord Ran's two sons also went to the study together.

Zhulan took Li to talk to Ran Qi, who was very happy, "I never thought that you and I would have this fate."

Zhulan smiled, "Yeah, who would have thought of that!"

Ran Qi felt a little emotional. She had wanted to marry her daughter to the Zhou family before, but unfortunately she was not destined to do so. Later, the emperor showed great favor and her daughter became the prince's concubine.

As a result, after many twists and turns, the Ran family and the Zhou family still formed an alliance. It was good to have a grandson. She didn't consider as much as her husband did. She only knew that the Zhou family had no concubines, Zhou Yang was a good person, and Li was also simple-minded. Her granddaughter would marry into the family and enjoy a good life.

Ran Qi looked at her granddaughter who was sitting in the distance and talking. "Ran Wan's temper and personality are just like her aunt's. You can rest assured."

Zhulan has been observing Ran Wan for a while. She didn't notice it before, but now she finds that this child does have the shadow of Miss Ran San, and she feels relieved. "My eldest daughter-in-law is simple-minded, straightforward, kind-hearted, and will repay anyone who is kind to her double. She is from a peasant family. To be honest, I was also from a peasant family. I used to be afraid that my daughter-in-law was too high-ranking and we couldn't get along well. Later, I was too suspicious. The daughters-in-law don't look down on me as a mother-in-law. I see it all. In Zhou's house, I dare say that daughters-in-law are almost the same as ladies."

Ran Qi couldn't have understood it better. "You are really good to your daughter-in-law. You informed me in advance."

Zhulan smiled and said, "I just wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble. Look at how harmonious the atmosphere is in the Zhou residence. This is the result of the efforts of the whole family. I just said a few more words. If you are unhappy, just blame me."

Ran Qi looked at Yang deeply, "Do you think I am a person without temperament? Your words make me happy. This shows that the Zhou family is indeed a blessed place."

Zhulan was satisfied watching Li chatting with Ran Qi's second daughter-in-law. The second daughter-in-law of the Ran family did not look down on Li. The family style of the Ran family was indeed good.

In the study, Mingyun stood straight. He was not afraid of Lord Ran's questions at all. He did not talk nonsense if he did not understand, and did not show off too much if he did understand.

After asking a lot of questions, Ran Zheng was very satisfied. The grandson who was taught by Zhou Shuren himself was indeed outstanding.

Soon, Zhou Shuren and Ran Zheng were the only ones left in the study. Ran Zheng smiled and said, "Fortunately, I acted quickly. If I had waited another year or two, there would have been so many people waiting to get married that they would have broken down the door."

Zhou Shuren was proud in his heart, but he was humble in front of others, "Lord Ran is exaggerating."

"I don't think it's an exaggeration. Zhou Mingyun has a promising future."

Zhou Shuren said cheerfully, "We have been out for a while now, and it is almost noon, shall we chat at the dinner table?"

Ran Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I was only paying attention to Mingyun just now, so it's a good opportunity to chat with this year's third place winner, yes, and Mr. Zhou San."

Zhou Shuren stood up and said, "Please."

In the backyard, Zhulan's table also had a feast. There were the least people at Zhulan's table. She brought her three daughters-in-law, and Ran Qi brought her two daughters-in-law.

Xue Han's seniority score was high, after all, she was an unmarried girl, so she ate at the same table with the girls from the Zhou family and the Ran family.

Ran Wan knew why she came here. She listened to the laughter of her grandmother and mother and knew in her heart that the marriage was settled. When her mother heard the news, she still had some complaints. She was the only legitimate granddaughter and had a legitimate aunt who was the prince's concubine. Her mother thought she should marry better.

But she didn't think so. She didn't want to share her husband with others. She knew a lot about the Zhou Mansion. In fact, she had been paying attention to it silently for a long time. When did she start? It should have been since her aunt often mentioned the Zhou Mansion.

The young ladies in Jinzhou all envied the women who married into the Zhou Mansion. They had a husband who belonged to them alone and they thought the rules of the Zhou Mansion were really great.

Yu Lu picked up some food with the public chopsticks, "Sister Wan, eat more."

Ran Wan, "Okay, thank you."

This is her future sister-in-law. Maybe when she gets married, her sister-in-law will already be married.

Ran Wan had a smile on her face, and her illegitimate cousin secretly mocked her, saying that a legitimate granddaughter married into a fourth-rank official's family, and even if she was the eldest grandson, she could not hide the fact that she had a white father.

Ran Wan thought to herself that her cousin was short-sighted. The Zhou family was marrying into the Wang family, and the one marrying off was her future sister-in-law, a legitimate sister-in-law. This was all thanks to Zhou Mingyun's help, and her grandfather was optimistic about the Zhou family. This marriage was very much to her liking, and it was worth her effort to convince her mother.

In the afternoon, the Ran family left, and Zhulan left behind her daughter and Yulu, "What do you two think of Ran Wan?"

Xue Han, "Ran Wan is quite like Sister Ran. This girl is very insightful. Although she is not as good as Sister Ran, she is not bad either. Overall, Ran Wan is worthy of being the eldest grandson's wife."

Zhulan looked at Yulu, "You've been sitting next to her, what do you think?"

Yu Lu smiled and said, "I think it's good."

Zhulan understood that Yulu recognized Ran Wan. Yulu not only had excellent intuition, but also had her own way of judging people. If this child recognized her, then she couldn't be wrong. "Okay, you've been tired all day, go back."

Xue Han stood up and asked, "Mom, when will our family come to propose marriage?"

Zhulan said, "Tomorrow, mother will go to the Wang residence. We need your Aunt Tao to act as a matchmaker. However, we have to wait until your eldest brother comes back to do so."

Xue Han counted the days, "The day after tomorrow, Third Brother and Rong Chuan will leave for the capital, so it won't be possible for us to catch up, right?"
