Chapter 696: Seemingly stingy
At the Zhou Mansion in the capital, Zhulan had just finished making a set of clothes for her son. She laid the clothes out neatly, feeling a sense of accomplishment the more she looked at them. She thought that if she could return to modern times, she could open a shop with this skill.
Zhulan asked the maid to take it out to wash. There was no life in her hands. Zhulan missed her son. Zhou Shuren's letter did not hide it from her. Her son cried because he missed her. "How many days have we been in Beijing?"
Mrs. Song: "It's been three days."
"Ah, it's only been three days. I've already been here for seven days. Time is going by so slowly."
Mrs. Song saw that the weather outside was good, "Madam, do you want to go out for a walk? The flowers in the garden should be blooming, do you want to go and take a look?"
Zhulan was reluctant to move. She had been sitting just now, but now she wanted to lie down. She waved her hands, "No, I need to rest for a while."
She's getting lazier and lazier!
At noon, in the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan sat together to eat. Chang Lian was more sociable than Rong Chuan. As a result of training since childhood, Chang Lian quickly became familiar with the other scholars, and Rong Chuan also got to know quite a few people.
Shen Yang became even more displeased with Rong Chuan. Rong Chuan's sharing of snacks made him seem particularly stingy.
Rongchuan didn't know what Shen Yang was thinking. Even if he knew, he would just sneer. He was not the only one who came back to share some snacks. The top scholar, Mr. Liang, also shared some snacks.
Of course, there were people around Shen Yang, too. It was all because Shen Yang followed him to the palace in a very special way. Some of the people around Shen Yang came to inquire about things, and some had other thoughts.
Chang Lian saw it all. He didn't think there was anything good about Shen Yang's special entry into the palace. Instead, he felt that Shen Yang was indeed troublesome, so he took Rong Chuan away from Shenyang.
Master Lu put down his chopsticks and said, "It's really lively today."
Chang Lian also ate his fill and drank his tea. "Yeah, it's only the first day."
Master Lu smiled and said, "We have just entered the Imperial Academy and there is a lot to learn. Our time is precious. Let's go."
Chang Lian said to Rong Chuan, "You should go back too."
Rongchuan nodded, "Yeah."
Chang Lian returned to the room and continued to look at the information from previous years. As a newcomer, it was better for him to figure it out clearly, learn more and see more. When he was in Jinzhou, his father told him that he only needed to bring his ears and hands, and it was better for him to leave his mouth at home.
Chang Lian felt more confident when he thought of his father. His father was coming to the capital, so he straightened his back and worked harder.
In the afternoon, Zhulan was taking a nap and fell into a drowsy sleep when she felt something cold crawling on her face. She woke up suddenly with fright and almost screamed. When she saw the two fat little hands playing tricks on her, she was stunned and then closed her eyes. She must have been dreaming.
"It's not a dream. My son and I have come to the capital."
Zhulan heard Zhou Shuren's voice and pinched herself with her eyes closed. It hurt, and it really was. She suddenly opened her eyes and hugged her fat son, "Oh, it's really my son, my son."
Zhou Shuren felt wronged, "There's still me, don't just look at your son."
Zhulan was filled with love for her little lover. She kissed her chubby son on the face, and the little boy giggled. Zhulan touched her son's hand and asked, "Why is your little hand so cool?"
Zhou Shuren, ".......look at me!"
Zhulan was speechless, "I saw it, I saw it."
Zhou Shuren only felt that it was perfunctory, but seeing his fat son's happy face, he decided not to argue with him, "This kid was just playing in the water outside."
Zhulan held her son's hand and said, "I was so scared just now. Although there are many people in Beijing, our house is quite big. We also have a rockery. Who knows if there are any snakes? I thought a snake crawled into the house!"
Her heart was pounding and her scalp was tingling.
Zhou Shuren was speechless. "I don't know how careful you are. Every spring, you spray anti-snake and insect medicine all over the house. And it's not just once, you also spray it after every rain."
Zhulan coughed, "It's better to be safe than sorry. There are many children in this family. In spring and summer, they like to run around everywhere. They hide and play in secluded places. I do this for the children. If they are really bitten, it will be too late to regret it."
There was no serum or anything like that in ancient times, it’s scary just to think about it.
Zhulan continued, "I just arrived in the capital, and I haven't had time to apply the medicine yet. You reminded me well. I have not been in good spirits since I came to the capital. I need to pass on this matter. Yuyi is about to be able to walk, and my son is here too, so I need to protect him."
Mrs. Song was standing at the door, heard this, then turned and left.
Zhulan held her fat son in her arms, but couldn't move him. "He has sunk again. You have done a good job raising your son."
Zhou Shuren was pleased, "That's right."
Zhulan asked, "Have you guys arrived for dinner?"
"I've eaten."
Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren rubbing his arm and understood, "He is showing off."
Zhou Shuren smiled. He and Zhulan especially cherished the time they spent with their son. After all, they were already quite old when their son was born, and the average life expectancy was not high in ancient times, so they cherished the present more.
Zhulan got up and said, "You take a nap. I'll stay with my son."
Zhou Shuren was indeed a little tired, "Then I'll take a nap first."
Changzhong held his mother's hand and never let go, "Mom, let's go out and play."
Zhou Shuren tapped his son's forehead and asked, "Now that you have a mother, you don't care about your father anymore?"
"Daddy needs to rest. I'll go out and play so that he can sleep well."
The little guy acted like he was going out to play for daddy's sake.
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you are filial."
Zhulan was in a very good mood. She waited until Zhou Shuren lay down to sleep before she took her son out the door. She closed the door carefully and said, "There are new flowers in the garden. They are very beautiful. Mother will take you to see them. Yes, there are fish in the lake. Don't you like small fish the most?"
Changzhong had forgotten his father's request to keep it a secret. He quickly talked about fishing at home, not noticing his mother gritting her teeth. He finally concluded, "Mom, Daddy is the best."
"Yes, your father is very good!"
Mrs. Song wanted to laugh but finally held it back. The young master betrayed the head of the family!
After Zhou Shuren came to the capital, Zhulan felt that the capital was also her home. She paid more attention to her home in the capital. Not to mention, she had overlooked many places in the past. Standing on the attic and looking at the mansion, the view was really beautiful.
Zhou Shuren woke up at night. The journey to Beijing really exhausted him. Zhulan rubbed his arm and said, "I'll massage you again at night. You too, if you can't hold me anymore, don't hold me anymore. Your hands must be sore now."
"My son was sleeping at the time, how could I put him down? Hiss, be gentle."
Zhulan's strength in her hands weakened after hearing this. "You will stay in the capital for a few more days this time, right?"
"Well, the plan cannot be completed in one day, so I will leave it for a few more days."
Zhulan was happy. If Zhou Shuren could stay longer, she could go back to Jinzhou with him.
Zhou Shuren looked at the sky and said, "It's time for Rongchuan and Changlian to come back."
Zhu Lan said, "Yes, it's their first day in office, and I don't know how things are going."
