Chapter 847: Both Sons and Daughters Are Alive

The Zhou Jiahe's engagement was still very low-key. Zhulan had to thank the real and fake princes for attracting everyone's attention. By the time the capital city came to its senses, the date for the engagement had already been chosen.

The engagement day was a little late, but it was also the best day in the past month.

Zhou Shuren specially asked for leave. The Zhou family has no relatives in Beijing. So it seems that Zhou Shuren is still the one supporting the Zhou family. Compared with the aristocratic families in Beijing, it is still too weak.

There are not many Hu Xia people, and there are two officials. Hu Xia is the highest-ranking official, and the other two are of the eighth and seventh ranks.

The engagement day soon arrived, and Zhulan finally met the Hu she had always been thinking about.

Mrs. Hu was very nervous, but her eyes were not wandering and she seemed a very well-behaved person.

Zhulan said, "This is my eldest granddaughter, Yushuang. She has been sensible since she was young. I love her to my core. I am always afraid that she will be wronged. There is no other way. This child is very lovable. If she is wronged, her grandfather and I will be heartbroken."

Jin understood. Yang Shuren told them not to let Miss Zhou suffer any injustice. Even if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't dare to do it. She was just kidding. She wouldn't dare to risk her husband's future because her husband had to live under Lord Zhou's care.

Besides, she is the aunt, and although her arms are not that long, she still has some brains. The only thing is that she is jealous that her son is not in the eyes of Lord Zhou. Not to mention that the son of a wealthy family will suffer if he marries a wife, she is very willing to do so. Compared with her son's future, that is nothing. It's a pity that the Zhou family does not think highly of her.

Mrs. Hu looked at Miss Zhou, feeling nervous. After hearing what Yang Shuren said, she felt like she should express her feelings. "My dear grandmother is right. Miss Zhou is such a kind-hearted person. Everyone would feel sorry for her. I have always thought that if I had a daughter, she would be like Miss Zhou. Now looking at Miss Zhou, I will have both a son and a daughter in the future."

Zhulan smiled. Hu was a softie in front of Jin, but she understood everything in her heart and said that she would treat Yushuang as a concubine in the future. "It is true that we have both sons and daughters. This daughter-in-law is our own family. I am not saying this. Look at how I treat my four daughters-in-law. I really treat them as concubines. Each of them lives their own life in harmony."

Mrs. Hu touched her handkerchief and realized that Yang Shu was afraid that she would interfere in the affairs of her son and daughter-in-law in the future. She had never thought about it and did not dare to do it. It was obvious that Miss Zhou was a favored one. She had inquired about her a lot in recent days. Although she did not inquire much, she knew that many people of the Zhou family were concerned about the eldest granddaughter, but the Zhou family did not take any action and chose her son. She thought about it and thought that it was because they were afraid that her granddaughter would be wronged.

Mrs. Hu narrowed her eyes and said, "You are right. You still have to be yourself in life. A harmonious family is everything. I understand this."

Zhulan felt her granddaughter secretly tugging at her sleeve. Meeting her granddaughter's bright eyes, Zhulan patted her hand and signaled her not to be nervous, saying that grandma would take care of everything. Thinking of this, she looked at Yulu again.

Zhulan sighed in her heart. Yu Lu's marriage was a good one, but she couldn't say this to Tao like today. She had been communicating with Tao since she came to the capital, and she had been trying hard to maintain this friendship, all for Yu Lu.

Yu Lu felt her grandmother looking at her and blinked, and Zhu Lan smiled.

Zhu Lan said, "My old man really likes Liu Feng and has talked about him to my son a lot. It's not easy for you to raise Liu Feng and take good care of him."

Mrs. Hu's uneasiness was completely gone. No mother would dislike her son being praised. Moreover, the Zhou family affirmed her education. "This child has been sensible since he was young. I have never worried too much."

Zhao took Hu's hand affectionately and continued, "You can't say that. Your efforts for Liu Feng were real."

Mrs. Hu felt even more affirmed, and her eyes turned red.

Zhao took advantage of the situation and said, "Good days are coming. You will have great fortune to enjoy."

Mrs. Hu smiled, "I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that Liu Feng can have a smooth life, then I will be relieved."

In the future, the Yue family will help their son more. As long as their son has a good future, not only will they not let her interfere in the affairs of the young couple, but they will also let her observe fasting and chant Buddhist scriptures for the rest of her life.

Outside, Gu Liufeng's face flushed, especially when facing Lord Zhou's youngest son, he dared not move.

Chang Zhong frowned, "From now on, are you going to call me uncle?"

Gu Liufeng's face turned red, even redder than when he saw Yu Shuang just now, "I, well, we are not married."

Changzhong was unhappy and pulled his brother-in-law's clothes, "I call Rongchuan brother-in-law!"

Rongchuan coughed. He was different. He grew up in Zhou's house and could just call him brother-in-law in the house. Ahem, of course, there was also a reason why he acquiesced at first. He liked Changzhong to call him brother-in-law.

Gu Liufeng was anxious. How could he explain to a child that he couldn't call him uncle? Facing the little guy's dissatisfaction, he felt a little desperate. It was harder than writing an article, and he was too embarrassed to explain.

Mingyun felt relieved. His uncle always emphasized that he was the elder, which was a good thing.

Changzhong didn't wait for a reply, "You don't want to get engaged? How can you say that? My eldest niece is so nice, she's pretty, knows all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she's very skillful with her hands. Have you seen my purse? This is what my eldest niece embroidered for me."

Gu Liufeng was sweating profusely, "I am willing, I am willing."

His eyes were staring at the purse uncontrollably, and he wanted to snatch it, but he didn't dare. This person was his ancestor and he couldn't afford to offend him.

Rongchuan looked at Gu Liufeng's embarrassed look and laughed out loud. Mingteng became even more exaggerated and almost bent over with laughter.

Mingrui covered his face with his hands, but he didn't stop laughing. He thought that it was good to have a brother-in-law who was easy to bully. He could bully him more in the future and make sure that his future brother-in-law would only be nice to his sister.

Mingyun thought of his sister's fiancé. He had met him during the holidays but they didn't communicate much. He had to think twice before bullying him, because he was the eldest grandson of the Wang family. So he had to work hard, otherwise he would think twice before bullying his brother-in-law in the future!

Indoors, Zhou Shuren seldom spoke, and most of the time it was Chang Lian who spoke.

Chang Lian received a lot of training in the Hanlin Academy. He entered the palace many times and had a lot of contact with the emperor. Chang Lian was well polished and accustomed to big scenes. Small scenes were no big deal to him.

Chang Lian smiled with satisfaction. The Hu family was a simple family with no outstanding descendants. This meant that as long as the Zhou family was doing well, his eldest niece's future would be stable.

Changzhi was a little absent-minded. He felt sad when hearing his third brother's flattering words. He thought about his daughter Yuwen getting engaged many years later. Oh no, no, as a father he couldn't bear it. It was painful for him to think about his timid daughter becoming someone else's wife in the future.

Zhou Shuren was also satisfied, as they were finally engaged. After attending court yesterday, he stayed in the Zhengdian Hall to report on things. The prince also mentioned Shen, no, Zhang Yang, saying that Zhang Yang had learned the rules well, and the Fifth Prince's mansion was now vacant, and he would move in in two days.

He sensed the relief in the prince's tone, and it was obvious that he had had enough of Zhang Yang.

Zhou Shuren had a smile on his face, and he was still looking forward to Zhang Yang knowing the news. Moreover, Zhou Shuren touched the teacup, and his granddaughter was not someone he was thinking about easily.
