Zhulan has always been thinking about Changyi. Changyi is abroad and has only sent back a few letters throughout the year. The last letter he sent back said that he was back and would try to catch up with Xuehan's wedding, but unfortunately he didn't make it. She took the letter, opened it, and smiled, "He has arrived in Pinggang and is resting there. He will leave for Beijing tomorrow."
Mrs. Song had often heard the mistress talking about the Second Master, so she smiled and said, "The Second Madam should be happy."
"Yes, let the girl go to the second room and tell them."
This was a big happy event for the family. She was afraid that Changyi would encounter pirates when he returned. Now that she was off the boat, she felt completely relieved.
In the second room, Zhao was stunned after hearing what the maid said. After a while, she let the maid go back and picked up the little girl who was playing on the ground, "Your father is coming back."
I'm finally home. When the night is quiet, I can feel the feeling of missing you.
Yudie still remembers her father and wants to clap her hands. It would be better if her mother didn’t hold her so tightly. Listening to the wind outside the window, she wants to go out and play!
Ninghou Mansion, after returning home yesterday, Yu felt uncomfortable and her complexion was not good the next day. She had never been to Ninghou Mansion because there were no female members in the mansion, and it was always her third uncle who went back to the Duke's Mansion.
After meeting yesterday, she realized how wealthy the Ning Marquis' Mansion was, and how wealthy the Duke's Mansion was as well. She used to be so close to the Marquis' Mansion, but now she can only watch.
Yu thought about Zhou Xuehan's dowry again and pursed her lips. When she married into the Marquis's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion did not give all of the betrothal gifts to her as dowry. She remembered that Zhou Xuehan had parents who loved her very much.
Mrs. Du was also in an unhappy mood. She couldn't help wondering if her father-in-law had secretly given some family fortune to her younger brother-in-law. She had been thinking about it over and over again last night but didn't dare to mention it to her husband. Yesterday, she saw the wealth of her younger brother-in-law's house, especially the courtyard where Rongchuan got married. She felt very embarrassed.
Ning Hui was in the study. When he heard the housekeeper say that his wife had a headache, he motioned for the housekeeper to go downstairs. The gap between him and his wife was getting deeper and deeper, and the knot in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. Thinking of his mother's dissatisfaction, he pursed his lips and coughed softly. He decided that he should think about it carefully.
On the day Xue Han came back home, Zhou Shuren still went to the morning court pitifully. His request for leave was not approved. Zhou Shuren stood in the court, and he knew that it was the emperor's jealousy.
Ning Xu was even brought to the morning court, and Zhou Shuren felt relieved.
Ning Xu was the one who was really hurt. He was unwilling to get up early in winter every year. It was so cold, and unless there was something important, he should sleep in instead of getting up early to attend the morning court!
The New Year is almost here, the Feng family has just been brought down, and all forces have calmed down. There is really nothing big going on in the morning court, as long as a few princes don't cause trouble. But the emperor won't leave during the morning court in the past two days!
The hall was empty. Even though there was a brazier, it was cold. It was a cold winter this year, so it was really painful to attend the morning court.
Zhou Shuren despised the emperor's pettiness in his heart, but he was also proud. He was not cold. He was not a person who would not regret freezing to death just to look good. Anyway, he was not cold, so only those who were cold knew.
The ministers in the court didn't know and just thought that the emperor did it on purpose so that they would be more honest and calm in the future.
I finally made it through the morning, and it was snowing outside. The cold wind and heavy snow made me feel really bad.
Ning Xu pulled Zhou Shuren and said, "Your cape is long enough, it's almost dragging on the ground. Shall we change?"
Zhou Shuren looked down at his cloak. Bah, he would not change it. His cloak was thickened, and he felt that Ning Xu was attacking his height. "No."
Ning Xu pursed his lips. He was really cold. He didn't wear layers of clothes like Zhou Shuren. "My cloak is very expensive. The fur is of the highest quality. It's hard to buy outside."
Zhou Shuren turned his head and asked, "Are you showing off your wealth?"
Ning Xu, "... No, I just want to express my sincerity in changing my cloak."
Zhou Shuren wasn't actually cold, because he was wearing so many clothes under his official uniform. Looking closely at Ning Xu's cape, he saw that he was indeed showing off his wealth. "We are relatives, so I think we should change."
Ning Xu hehe, he didn't hesitate at all when he refused just now. Why didn't he think about the fact that they were his in-laws? Anyway, the furs were all filial gifts, he didn't feel bad. Well, compared to the prodigal son, he really didn't feel bad. "Then I still want to thank my in-laws."
"Um."
Ning Xu, "... ..."
Where is Zhou Shuren’s face
Mr. Wang originally wanted to talk to Zhou Shuren. His son had already decided to go to the Ministry of Rites. But after listening to Zhou Shuren's shameless remarks, the old man stroked his beard and thought that his son was just too upright.
At Zhou's house, Xue Han didn't see her father, and didn't think much about it. She asked her mother to take a closer look at her, "Mom, don't worry this time. Your daughter is really fine."
After she gets married, she will be the head of the household. Her father-in-law said that the entire mansion is handed over to her and he really doesn't care about anything.
Zhulan smiled and said, "Mom knows you will live well, but I still want to see more."
A girl's growth really accelerates when she gets married. Look at her, she has already become so powerful after she got married. When she was at home, she was the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, with parents and brothers above her. After she gets married, she will be responsible for the entire marquis's mansion.
Xue Han handed the gift list to her mother, "This is the return gift that Rong Chuan prepared long ago."
Zhulan flipped it open and took a few glances. "Your father will be very happy."
Xue Han snickered, "Yeah."
My father-in-law was too lazy to ask about the return gifts, but my husband told me one by one how these return gifts came about.
Zhulan continued, "Your father-in-law also has several concubines. Have you seen them?"
It would be too fake for Lord Ning to live alone. Although he continued to marry, he still had concubines.
Xue Han, "Mother can't be considered a concubine. In fact, she is one of the maids who takes care of father-in-law. I heard Rongchuan's idea. After a few years, she will be given some money and land and let go of the mansion."
Zhu Lan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "If you encounter any problems in the future when you are in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, you can ask the Duke's wife. The old lady will definitely be happy for you to ask for advice."
Xue Han understood that her mother was teaching her, "Well, I will go to the Duke's Mansion to see grandma more often."
Zhulan smiled, she knew her daughter understood everything very quickly.
In the front yard, Chang Lian and his men were ready to kill Rongchuan. "Come and sit down. We are waiting for you."
Rong Chuan didn't move and still sat in the distance drinking tea, "Third brother, I don't have any money, so don't even think about killing me."
Chang Lian didn't believe it. "How could you be so poor? How come you are so stingy after marrying my sister?"
Rong Chuan shook his purse and said, "I have handed over all my money. If Third Brother really wants to kill me, I will apply for money?"
Chang Lian, “… . . . .”
He knew that Rongchuan was willing to be bullied by his sister, but he didn't expect that he would have to hand over money right after getting married!
Changzhi couldn't help laughing, "Third brother, your wish to have more money won't come true."
Chang Lian curled his lips. It was indeed impossible to achieve this. It was not easy to cheat his own sister. He said regretfully: "There will be no chance to make a fortune in the future."
Rongchuan, "Can you please say this directly in front of me?"
Boss Zhou smiled and said, "Even if we don't tell you, you know it clearly."
Rongchuan, “… . . . .”
The next day, Zhulan did not rest at noon, waiting for her second son to come home. It had snowed heavily the previous day, and she was worried about him.
After waiting for a while, Changyi finally arrived home, and he also brought guests back.
