Chapter 885 Good Girl

At night, the Zhou family had a very quiet dinner. Even though Zhou Shuren and Zhulan had returned to their usual expressions, the eldest couple, who were the most intuitive and sensitive in the family, were particularly quiet.

After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to their room. Zhulan drank some tea to help digestion. "I think it's better for Xuemei to go to Beijing."

Zhou Shuren thought the same thing, "And the sooner the better. I don't want to wait until after the New Year."

Zhu Lan lowered her voice, "Are you afraid you'll do it again?"

If soft methods don't work, you want to use hard methods?

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "I have attracted too much hatred. To avoid mistakes like this one in the future, it is better for the whole family to go to Beijing."

Zhulan put down her teacup and said, "You're right. It's better to do it under my nose."

Zhou Shuren, "Let Shenxing set off a few more times tomorrow and bring more people with him."

Zhulan nodded, "By the way, I have already picked someone for the marriage that is to be prudent in words and deeds. Mrs. Song has visited the girl's family. Both families have daughters of scholars, who are gentle and well-educated. I brought them to the mansion two days ago and they are both good girls."

Zhou Shuren asked, "Have you read "Be Careful with Your Words and Actions"?"

These two brats didn't say a word to him.

Zhulan knew what her husband was thinking as soon as she saw Zhou Shuren's expression. "It's not that they didn't want to tell you. First, you were too busy, and second, they wanted to give you a surprise."

Zhou Shuren snorted and accepted these two reasons, and said with a smile, "Let's choose a good day after the New Year and let them get married together. These two children don't have any relatives, so you can worry more about them then."

Zhulan smiled. Zhou Shuren really liked Jinyan Shenxing. He treated them like nephews and always liked to tease them.

Zhulan continued, "I originally wanted to buy two small houses for them, but they refused, saying they had their own money."

Zhou Shuren was silent. "They do have money."

The two of them were particularly picky and took advantage of him a lot.

Zhulan, "They do have money, so I said we would pay for the betrothal gift. This time I didn't give them a chance to object, and they agreed."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips, looking disgusted but said, "Choose something good, after all you are a member of the Zhou family."

Zhulan smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."

In Zhoujia Village, Jiang Sheng went to see the twins before returning to his house. His spirit really couldn't stand the challenge. In the past few days, he had raised several dogs at home, and he still felt uneasy.

When Jiang Sheng entered the room, he saw his wife holding a piece of paper and a pen. She had been holding the pen for a long time, and the ink had already dripped onto the paper. Jiang Sheng sighed, "You've been like this for a few days. Are you okay now?"

Xuemei put down her brush in frustration, "You are worried too."

Jiang Sheng couldn't refute it. He had been absent-minded these past few days.

Xuemei took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to Beijing. Our parents will definitely let us go to Beijing for this matter."

She knew it clearly in her heart, so she had been hesitating whether to write the letter. She could guess that her parents would write back and ask her to go to Beijing. She was worried about her children, but she also had to consider her husband.

Jiang Sheng pursed his lips. He had never thought about going to Beijing. First of all, he was not greedy. He had already sent his eldest son there. This was his biggest greed. As for his wife's dowry, that belonged to his wife and he had never thought about it.

Second, as a scholar in the capital, he sometimes felt that he was bringing shame to his father-in-law. In the past two years, he had not made any progress and was enjoying his current life. His biggest goal had failed.

But in the end, the children are the most important. "Let's go to Beijing."

Xuemei pursed her lips. Her husband didn't say anything, but he was happy every time he received the money from the clan school. Sometimes he would use the money to buy small gifts for her and food for the children, and he would use the rest to praise her and buy expensive things.

Over the years, he had never asked her for money, and even when several of his brothers came to borrow money, he would lend them the money.

Xuemei pursed her lips and said, "I'll think about it."

The Zhou family, the first wife, Li and her husband were also discussing Xuemei's matter. Changli said, "Xuemei will definitely bring the child to Beijing."

My sister knows very well that she is not someone who knows how to make choices when it comes to ambition, but children are too important to her.

Li was happy, "That's a good thing, but there's no big yard at home anymore."

Changli pulled his wife to sit down, "My eldest sister will not live in the mansion."

Li agreed. It was not the eldest sister's personality that would allow her to do that. If she wanted to move back, she would have plenty of opportunities. Apart from sending Jiang Du here, she had never troubled her parents with anything over the years.

In the second room, Zhao had spread out the quilt and was sitting in front of a bronze mirror combing her hair. "My eldest sister is coming to Beijing, and my parents are very happy."

Chang Yi nodded, thinking about the twins, "Twins are brave."

Zhao knew that her husband liked brave children, and he liked bright ones. Whenever he went back to his hometown, he often told her about the twins. "The two children are coming to Beijing, so you should talk more about them."

Chang Yi nodded, "I've made note of that. This is the capital, I'll keep a close eye on them."

Dong Chuchu was absent-minded about the third room. She was thinking about her mother's family. Her eldest brother wrote to her this time saying that everything was fine at home. She was really worried. "What do you think about me finding a good teacher to teach at my mother's family?"

Chang Lian, "Why do you have this idea?"

Dong Chuchu curled her lips and said, "I just thought that a good husband is very important to children. Dad and big brother will definitely value the husband I hire."

She was really scared. Instead of dealing with the problem that she couldn't see or touch, it would be better to solve it from the root.

Chang Lian received many letters from his father-in-law, who praised him in various ways. He would listen to his words and say, "If you know any good teachers, give them to me."

Dong Chuchu hugged her husband's neck, "I've been waiting for you to say this!"

Chang Lian kissed his wife on the cheek and said, "It's getting late, let's rest."

In the fourth room, Su Xuan was lecturing her husband about the methods she had seen or heard. This was not something Su Xuan wanted to bring up, but something Chang Zhi asked about.

Su Xuan was happy. She took the initiative to learn, which showed that her husband wanted to be a strong man. Her husband would never ask these questions before.

Su Xuan felt quite regretful. When her third brother was living on his own, he had a lot of training and was also guided by the former Lord Jiang. But her husband was not so good. Her father-in-law was too busy and her third brother was also very busy, so she was the only one who could come. She told her husband about the women's schemes with some selfish motives, hoping that her husband would have a deep impression so that he would not be schemed against by women in the future.

Chang Zhi listened very seriously, sometimes he smacked his lips in amazement. When this woman gets ruthless, a man really has no chance of survival. Looking at his excited daughter-in-law, he swallowed his saliva and thought, don't provoke her, don't provoke her.

The next day, just as Zhulan was giving instructions to the housekeeper and Shenxing, Yao Xinren arrived, without sending a visiting card in advance.

Zhulan had never dealt with Yao Xin, and all she knew about her was rumors. However, Zhang Jinghong's incident made her look at Yao Xin with a new respect. She didn't know what Yao Xin was doing there, so she wanted to meet her in person.

After a while, Yao Xin came with a maid. She was holding gifts in her hands and was dressed very simply. With a smile on her face, her eyes alone made her look very appealing.

Zhu Lan saw Yao Xin greet her and gestured, "Hurry up, I only heard of you before, but today I finally see you in person."
