Chapter 444 The more I think about it, the more problems I have
The more I think about it, the more problems I feel.
Liao Jiu's face darkened. "Mother, what are you thinking about? I want to make my own decision about marriage. When I have some free time in a few days, I will come back to discuss it with you. My son already has a girl he likes. If everything goes well, he will definitely get married this year."
Madam Zhou asked anxiously, "Really? Whose girl is this? Whose girl can compare to Princess Xiu'er? Wuyang, tell me first."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, don't worry about my marriage, mother. She's an easy person to get along with, and she's the perfect match for my son. I hope you won't deliberately make things difficult for her when the time comes, as that would only embarrass my son."
Liao Jiu had just finished speaking when Xiang Zuo came hurriedly to report, "Master, the time is up, and there are still things waiting for you to deal with."
Before he went in, we agreed that if he didn't come out within half an incense stick of time, I would go find him.
Now, it comes in handy.
"Mother, the Emperor gave me some gifts, and I brought some back to honor you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."
Mrs. Zhou wanted to say something, but Liao Jiu had disappeared.
"Son, you're alright..."
Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she chased after him, but couldn't catch up. When she saw boxes of rewards with imperial seals placed in the yard, her temper immediately improved. No matter what, this son made her proud.
Whose son is as capable as hers, who is appreciated by the emperor every now and then and receives so many rewards?
Long face!!
The wet nurse and the maids nearby saw this and complimented her.
Mrs. Zhou was in a good mood.
At this moment, another group of people came in. Leading the group was the Marquis of Qingning, who had not returned for a long time, followed by several servants.
"lady."
Madam Zhou ignored him, pretending she hadn't heard him. She scolded the maids on either side, "You didn't even bother sweeping the yard when it was dirty. What kind of dirty wind is blowing back in... It stinks."
Marquis Qingning's face darkened.
He coughed and said, "Madam, you have been married for so many years, and you are still so petty. Is it fun? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the servants?"
Mrs. Zhou was lit up. "Why, some people are not afraid of being laughed at when they live with their mistresses. I, Zhou Se, am upright and upright. What do others have to laugh at me?"
Marquis Qingning was so embarrassed that he was used to being scolded by Madam Zhou. He endured it and endured it.
"I'm not here to argue with you. I'm here to see my son. I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he has solved the big case in Prince Xiang's Mansion and eradicated the evil forces in Baihua Tower. This must have taken a lot of effort. I wonder if our son is exhausted..."
Madam Zhou sneered, "You're so hypocritical! Isn't your beloved son the son of your country woman? When did you start caring about us Wuyang? What's the matter? Did you hear that he took the reward from the government office, so you guys are like cats smelling fish, trying to get some money? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. These things are Wuyang's filial piety to me, and they have nothing to do with you."
Marquis Qingning coughed lightly. "You're saying such harsh words. Wuyang is my biological son after all. It's my duty as a father to care for him. He never comes to where I live, and I usually can't find him at the Six Gates. I can only come to you to ask about his situation."
"There's no need for you to ask. You should just care about the useless son born to your country woman. Our Wuyang is highly regarded by the emperor and has a bright future. You don't need to be jealous, let alone think about asking for money. It's impossible. And as for that thing you mentioned last time about putting it in the family tree, I advise you to give up the idea. As long as I'm here, you can forget about it. Unless you kill me, I can't control you. Of course, with my son here, you don't have the courage to kill me..." Mrs. Zhou couldn't stop scolding people.
Marquis Qingning is a man after all. He can enjoy the feeling of being respected by the Yao family, but in front of Madam Zhou, he feels that he is not even as good as an ant.
Plus, I came here today because I really had something to ask Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu is now at the peak of his career and is the most favored minister around Emperor Xuan.
His half-brother, Liao Yan, had been idle, so he wanted Liao Jiu to help him find a job or something, so that the two brothers could work together and help each other out...
After being pressured by Mrs. Zhou, he just gave up and was too embarrassed to speak.
Let’s find another opportunity next time.
***
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu and Dabao returned to Liushenmen, someone told her that Nanny Chunjian was dying.
She hurried over, but Nanny Chunjian had already left.
Nanny Chunjian was lying by the fence, her expression not looking particularly painful. The sun was shining on her body, she looked quiet and peaceful, but her eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she was no longer breathing.
Jiang Lianzhu sighed. Leaving like this was a relief for her.
After Liao Jiu returned home, Jiang Lianzhu negotiated with him and managed to redeem Chunjian Ma's body. They cremated it and preserved the ashes to be brought back to Shamen County in the future and buried in her hometown, so that it would not be considered as a death in a foreign land.
When sorting out Nanny Chunjian's belongings, they indeed found the several hundred taels of silver notes she had mentioned. The amounts were not large, ranging from ten taels, twenty taels, to three or five taels. There were also some gold and silver jewelry, which were the most common ones. They should have been rewards from the master. There was not a single valuable item. These were all the savings she had accumulated throughout her life.
These things were meant for Nanny Chunjian to leave to Jiang Chengshi. Jiang Lianzhu put them away first and would bring them to Jiang Chengshi in the future.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chengshi went back to her hometown with Jiang Qingcai and others, and no one knows how she is doing.
Now that the threat from Baihua Tower is gone, Jiang Lianzhu thinks that she should go home someday. She left in a hurry to escape and didn't have time to settle the family property. She wondered if those shameless people were targeting her.
She can't go back yet. She has to help Dabao and the others move back to Prince Xiang's Mansion first. Once Dabao and the others are settled and no longer need her, she will go back to her hometown.
Jiang Lianzhu planned to write two letters expressing her safety and send them back first, one to Wangjia Village and the other to Jiang Chengshi.
At night, Nanbao had already fallen asleep, and Jiang Lianzhu was writing a letter to express her safety.
Liao Jiu was waiting beside him, "Wife, your handwriting is really beautiful."
After Jiang Lianzhu came back, except for telling him about the matter of Nanny Chunjian, she ignored him. Liao Jiu came here with a sullen look on his face.
"Yeah, is your brother Wuyang's handwriting as beautiful as yours?" Jiang Lianzhu rolled her eyes at him.
Liao Jiu's heart trembled, here it comes.
He quickly explained, "I didn't tell you about the eldest princess before. She often visits my mother and might have some interest in me, but I've always ignored her. I didn't have a heart for love before and never thought about it. Now my heart is with you, you know, daughter-in-law, I..."
