Xuemei shook her head slightly, "Mom, I've made up my mind. I won't go back with you."
She had already troubled her parents enough. If she followed her husband and her parents-in-law didn't go back, would she let her mother take care of her? No, that wouldn't work, so she didn't go back with them.
Zhulan thought her daughter was going to go back with them, because Suxuan was going to go back with Changzhi, "Aren't your parents-in-law going to go back and see them?"
Xuemei smiled and said, "My parents-in-law just bought some land, and the harvest was good last year, so they are reluctant to leave."
“It’s nice to have something to do.”
At this time, Zhulan saw her twin grandchildren running in. These two children were the strongest, and it would be painful if they bumped into someone.
Xuemei's face darkened. "You two should walk properly. Why are you running? Where are the rules you learned?"
When the twins saw that their mother had not left, they behaved well. However, the two children were stubborn and became restless again after the greeting. Jiang Ping looked at their grandmother with sparkling eyes and said, "Grandma, we want to go abroad with our second uncle."
Jiang An nodded repeatedly, "Grandma, we want to go and take a look."
I just heard my second uncle telling a story. They told his story, but he disagreed. Then he thought about it and decided that my grandmother was the oldest in the family, so they came to ask her for help.
Zhulan smiled when she heard this. She had the intention, but not now. "Do you know foreign languages?"
She would never tell you not to go. The more she forbids you to go, the more you will miss me.
The twins were dumbfounded, "What is a foreign language?"
Zhulan learned a sentence, or the simplest one she heard Changyi say, "Do you understand?"
The twins looked miserable and didn't understand. Jiang Ping asked, "Wouldn't it be OK if Second Uncle could do it?"
Zhulan shook her head, "That won't work. There are foreigners in other countries, so you must learn foreign languages."
The twins believed in their grandmother. Whatever her grandmother said would come true, so the two children ran away quickly.
Xuemei asked, "Mom, now that they have learned it, will you really let them go?"
Zhu Lan laughed, "How well you learn and to what extent you learn is not up to us to decide."
Xuemei burst out laughing, mother still has the solution.
In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Yang knocked over the bowl of medicine in his hand. He had been taking medicine for so long just to have a child, but it was already the end of the year, and he had taken the medicine, but still had no child.
Zhang Yang was getting more and more irritated, especially when the fourth brother was like a mad dog, picking on him behind his back. He looked at the doctor gloomily and said, "If the medicine continues to have no effect, you don't need to keep your head."
The doctor's face was calm, "Your Highness, the poison has been cured, but your body is weak. Your body has not recovered yet, so you can't rush to have a child."
Zhang Yang clenched his fists. "Child, child. We just brushed aside the last rumor. If we continue to have no child, the rumor will only get worse. "You can go down now."
The doctor turned around and walked out, looking worried. He said the child could not be delayed any longer.
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren watched Wang Ju chew on the fruit he brought. "You are really shameless. You keep coming to my place to eat fruit."
Wang Ju pretended not to hear, thinking that the fruit was real after it was eaten. After finishing one fruit, she wanted to take another one, but was beaten, "You are so stingy."
"Where's your face? There's no such fruit in the capital."
Wang Ju was envious. Fruits were hard to come by in winter, especially fruits with such thin skin and thick flesh. No, even in summer, they were not available. It was too inconvenient to transport them. "I heard that your son brought you a lot."
He was really envious. This was the advantage of having many sons. Look at his own sons, he couldn't bear to let any of them go.
Zhou Shuren's face darkened. It was a lot, but two baskets were asked for last night. He didn't know what Rongchuan said, but the eunuchs from the palace arrived in the evening and took away a basket, a very big basket. Then the people from the Prince's Mansion came. They were so shameless.
He brought the fruit to the Ministry of Revenue not to show off, he really liked to eat it. There was a charcoal brazier in the room every day and the room was very dry, so he brought the fruit and hid it to eat. However, he was caught by Wang Ju who came over from time to time, so he raised another one.
Taking advantage of Zhou Shuren's dark face, Wang Ju's fat hands quickly took two, leaving only one for Zhou Shuren, and then hid it neatly in her arms, saying seriously: "Didn't my father go to the palace yesterday afternoon?"
Zhou Shuren really didn't know. "The Emperor summoned me?"
"Well, not only did he summon my father, but my father asked me to tell you that your second son should not rush out next year."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the emperor is really efficient. Yes, the emperor has always been very efficient. Then he twitched. Wang Ju came in, drank tea and ate fruit before saying that she wanted to beat him.
Wang Ju also knew that she was in the wrong, so she coughed and carefully protected the food in her arms, "This is for your grandson-in-law to eat, so don't be reluctant to give it away."
After saying that, he stared at Zhou Shuren, as if asking, "Why don't you give some fruit to your grandson-in-law?"
Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth and said, "Please add a word 未 in front."
Wang Ju looked away with regret, thinking that Zhou Shuren was really stingy. Fortunately, he grabbed it quickly. "Although I haven't entered the Ministry of Rites yet, there are many rumors in the Ministry of Rites."
Speaking of this, Wang Ju was happy. The better the Zhou family was, the better it would be for the Wang family.
In Zhoujia Village, Dong Yiyi took the letter from her sister. After reading it, she felt happy for her sister, but also sad. She felt sad that after her sister left the capital, no one helped her to get married.
Mu Lan looked at her mother worriedly. Every time her aunt wrote to her, her mother was very happy. She was also happy. Her aunt treated her and her brother very well. "Mom, what did her aunt say in the letter?"
Dong Yiyi smiled and said, "The letter says good things. Your aunt said that although it hasn't been decided yet, your uncle-in-law will be assigned an official position next year."
Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, then surprised, "My uncle-in-law is really amazing. He sent an official so early."
Dong Yiyi stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Your uncle-in-law is indeed a good man, but the really amazing one is your uncle-in-law's father."
If there were still members of the Jiang clan in the capital, their family wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
Mu Lan has grown a lot since her family changed, and she has understood many things that she didn't understand before. "Mom, are you worried about my brother?"
Dong Yiyi smiled and said, "I was very worried before, but now you have your aunt. Your uncle-in-law's career is going smoothly, and mother is relieved about your eldest brother's future."
Mu Lan knew that her mother understood what she meant, and pursed her lips. Now it seemed that her mother's dream of getting married was no longer possible.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the 29th. Another year has passed. After a busy year, Zhou Shuren can finally rest at home with peace of mind.
The cold winter this year did not stop the joy of the New Year. No, it should be the children’s joy of the New Year.
Zhulan was wearing a thick cloak and frowning as she watched the children outside making ice cubes. Her eyes were like knives cutting into Zhou Shuren. It was such a cold day, and Zhou Shuren was leading the way in making trouble. He was not afraid that the children would get sick during the New Year!
Zhou Shuren felt his wife's gaze and touched his nose. Okay, he also wanted to play and relax.
At this time, the official came in and said, "Master, Mr. Gu is here."
Zhou Shuren rubbed his cold hands and said, "Okay."
