Chapter 719: Promotion
The emperor naturally saw the prince's actions and simply ignored them. As a brother, he should be more generous, since he is the prince after all!
Prince, "......."
He was ignored, and he had a bad feeling when he got the job, and it turned out to be true!
The emperor put the title deed away, intending to give it to Ning Wei and then to Rongchuan. The Ning family would definitely be blamed for this. The emperor felt very sorry for the prince, as he spent a lot of money to give his brother a gift, but in the end he couldn't even leave his name on the property. This frustrating matter should indeed be handed over to the prince!
In Jinzhou, Zhulan returned home and received a letter from Mrs. Dong. Changlian had already told his family about Changlian and Rongchuan going to Ningguo Mansion. She continued to read. The letter was full of interesting stories about Yuyi learning to speak.
Then she took out a piece of paper and told Dong some interesting stories about her family.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back with a letter. Zhulan asked, "Whose letter is it from?"
Zhou Shuren said in a good mood: "Wu Ming's letter, he has been the county magistrate for so many years, and finally got promoted."
Zhulan was happy for Wu Ming, "Give me the letter so I can take a look."
Zhou Shuren handed over the letter, "You read it first, I'm going to change my clothes."
"good."
Zhulan took out the letter. Wu Ming said in the letter that during this war, he had made great contributions in pacifying the people in the county, and because of the great victory, he was successfully promoted. Now he is a sixth-rank Tongpan. Wu Ming has already gone to the state capital to take up his post, and left a new address on the letter.
Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and came out and said, "He finally made it through."
Zhulan put down the letter and said, "He is young and takes steady steps. He has a solid foundation now and will have a better future."
Zhou Shuren, "Well, I have been guarding the frontier county for many years. I have seen a lot and my character has been better tempered. I can look forward to the future."
In this life, Wu Ming has spent several years to exchange for a better future, and it is worth it!
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "This is a happy event. We should have a couple of drinks tonight. Oh, and the Wu Yong brothers should have received the letter by now!"
Zhou Shuren, "The letter was delivered together, and the Wu family also received it."
"Forget it, let the two brothers Wu Yong inform Wu Ning. After all, it is a happy event for the Wu family, so we won't interfere."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "Why didn't I see my son today?"
Zhulan narrowed her eyes, "He likes his nephews very much. He had dinner with Mingyun and others tonight in the front yard!"
Zhou Shuren said that when he came back, he seemed to hear the voices of children in the front yard. He thought for a moment and said, "Since we are eating together, let's eat together in the evenings. After eating, we can study together."
Zhulan, "My son should be happy."
Changzhong is happy even if they are just studying together, ahem, of course he can still act like an elder, which is the main reason why Changzhong particularly likes playing with his nephews.
At the Wu family, the two brothers Wu Yong read the letter. Wu Yong, who is very sentimental, had tears in his eyes. "My eldest brother finally made it."
Wu Ting couldn't stand his second brother's reaction, "On such a happy day, you are not allowed to drop golden beans."
Wu Yong blinked, "I don't have it, you are seeing things."
Wu Ting: "Haha."
My second brother has the same temper as my younger sister. Fortunately, he is also in Jinzhou. Otherwise, my second brother would have to keep it to himself if he was bullied. "My uncle and aunt must have heard the news. They will write to my younger sister soon. I don't know yet!"
"Yes, yes, and my little sister."
Wu Yong added, "My younger sister is the same. You can buy anything in the state capital. She also sends me vegetables every once in a while. Now that she is married, she is always thinking about her parents' home. I don't know if my brother-in-law will think too much."
Wu Ting rolled his eyes, "I think you are overthinking. These are just some vegetables. Not only are they given to us, but they are also given to the Zhou and Wang families. The gift is small but the sentiment is great. I think you are not as good as my younger sister."
Fortunately, elder brother Wan Xin took prompt action and sent younger sister to Zhou's house to see how she behaves now. Although she is young, the last time he sent something to younger sister, all the members of the He family he met praised her.
Wu Ting is looking forward to his future second sister-in-law more and more. He believes that the person that Zhou family likes must be good.
Wu Ting was thinking about this, and Zhu Lan was also thinking about it. When Zhou Shuren came back after washing up, she said, "We have a lot of things to do at home, so we have delayed helping Wu Yong find a girlfriend. We should do this now before we go to Beijing. It will be difficult to find a girlfriend when we get to Beijing."
Zhou Shuren, "Wu Yong and Wu Ting are doing well in the academy. We can't take care of them when we go to Beijing. It's better for them to stay in Jinzhou. With the Wang family, and Lord Wang and Lord Ran being related to our family, they can take better care of them. You are right. It's better to get married as soon as possible."
Zhulan was a little worried, "I want it to be as soon as possible, but you know it's not easy to choose this person."
Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and said, "You can ask Lord Wang's family."
Zhulan didn't think Zhou Shuren was just saying that casually, "Do you know something?"
Zhou Shuren spread his hands, "I don't know anything. I just think that the Wu family relies on Wu Ming, and the sixth rank is still low. It is difficult to find a better girl in Jinzhou. Lord Wang's background, Lord Wang and Xue have many relatives, and Wu Yong's temperament is not as good as Wu Ming and Wu Ting. The girl should choose a more down-to-earth one. If the girl has some connection with the Wang family, and taking into account the relationship with He Shu, the two brothers of the Wu family will be more secure in Jinzhou."
After saying this, Zhou Shuren felt that he really worried a lot about the Wu brothers, and Wu Ming would have to pay more back to the Zhou family in the future!
"Then I'll go ask Mr. Xue tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren was sleepy, "Let's go to bed early."
"good."
The next day, Zhulan went to Lord Wang's house in person, and Xue came in to greet Zhulan in surprise.
Zhulan looked at the ice basin and asked, "You're using ice so early in the morning?"
Xue signaled the maid to bring the ice basin further away. "I can't stand the heat. The weather is hot this year. I feel uncomfortable when I wake up in the morning, so I brought some ice over."
"Indeed, the temperature is high this year. It hasn't rained for quite a while. When I went to the temple yesterday, I saw many people offering incense and praying to the Buddha in the hope that it would rain soon."
Xue frowned, "To be honest, the weather has been good for many years, and there have been no droughts for some years."
Zhu Lan frowned, "Please don't let drought happen, it will make life easier for the people."
"That's not true. The people have had a better life in the past few years. They have just been able to eat more. But now there is a severe drought. All the hard work of many years has been destroyed. Drought is terrible. However, there has not been a drought in the capital for many years, so it should be fine."
Zhu Lan wiped off her sweat and said, "I will tell you the reason for my visit today. You know that Wu Ning has two brothers in Jinzhou. I came here for Wu Yong. Since there are no elder brothers and sisters in the Wu family, I took over. But I don't know any suitable girls."
Zhulan didn't need to say the rest, Xue also understood.
Xue raised her eyebrows, "Why do I remember that Wu Yong seems to be engaged?"
Zhulan said, "The woman has already called off the engagement, and the matter has not been made public."
Xue frowned and said, "Then I have one more question, but did the Wu family cancel the engagement?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "I know you are worried. Don't worry. The Wu family is a good family. It was not the Wu family who backed out on the marriage, but the woman."
