For several days in a row, the Zhou family moved the boxes that had been sorted out in the warehouse to the new house. After everything was moved, Zhulan went to the new house in person. The house was named Earl's Mansion.
On the other side, my fourth uncle's house had already been moved in, but the two families moved on different days.
This time they were closer to Rong Enqing. Zhulan and Su Xuan came together and went to Rong Hou Mansion without staying long.
Rong Enqing didn’t hold the third day bath and the full month celebration for his twin daughters. One of the two children almost died, but fortunately they survived. Zhulan came to see them once during that period.
Zhulan felt bad after seeing this. Her own family had no children who died prematurely, but she had heard that many children died prematurely in other families. Hearing about it and experiencing it in person are two different feelings.
Now that the child is well, Zhulan dares to come and see him again.
Coincidentally, Yao Xin also came with her child today. Although the Yao family was wiped out, the estrangement between the two surviving sisters has disappeared. Yao Xin would go to see her biological brother when it was inconvenient for Yao Yao to be pregnant. As a result, Yao Xin also cared about this younger brother.
When Zhulan walked in, she saw two sisters holding a baby girl each. Seeing that the children were in good spirits, her smile deepened, "These two children have gained a lot of weight."
In Yao Yao's arms was the little girl who almost died. She smiled and said, "Well, she's been eating a lot these past few days, and she's different every day."
Zhulan did not reach out to hug the children. These two little girls were not easy to raise. They had not yet been given a full name, only two nicknames. She hoped they would be safe and sound.
Yao Yao apologized, "I was supposed to help you and the Fourth Master move in, but I just can't get away."
Zhulan thought that her fourth uncle still didn't want to see Yao Yao more often. He was happy only when Yao Yao didn't help. "There are many people in the Zhou family. We can handle it. The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself."
Yao Yao smiled, "Yeah."
Zhulan and Su Xuan left after sitting for a while. On the way home in the carriage, Su Xuan was very emotional, "The two sisters are living a comfortable life, but Yao Zheyu, who also survived, is not living a good life."
Zhulan turned her head and asked, "Have you ever encountered this?"
Su Xuan nodded, "I met Shen Yile. How should I put it? Shen Yile and I are about the same age. Now that we are standing together, Shen Yile seems to be much older than me."
After a pause, he continued, "I remember that before Shen Yile got married, she liked to wear bright colors. Now, the clothes she wears rarely have bright colors. And I heard that Shen Yile's sisters-in-law don't welcome her back."
Zhulan hasn't paid any attention to Yao Zheyu since the palace coup. When Zhou Shuren returned home, Zhulan asked him about it specifically.
Zhou Shuren also responded for a while, "I haven't paid attention to it either, but he can't leave the capital, and his deeds have spread all over the capital. You can guess that even if he is in the Ministry of War, he is completely idle. I guess he is just organizing some odd jobs."
To see the end of this life, it mainly depends on the mentality. If the mentality is good, Yao Zheyu's descendants will still have some future. If the mentality is not good, it will be completely over.
Zhulan was just asking, she had no other intention. What she wanted to say was, "Some supplements were sent to the palace today. It has been several days in a row. Haven't you figured out why?"
Zhou Shuren, "... ... I really don't know."
He was also depressed. He was in good health, ate well and slept well, and he hadn't felt tired recently. Why did the palace send supplements one after another
Zhulan also asked her daughter, but she didn't know either.
Zhou Shuren pondered, "I can only think of one possibility. Isn't it that the prince wants to choose a master, and the emperor is using me?"
Zhulan, "Then we should send the supplements in the prince's name."
Zhou Shuren spread out his hands. Who knows what the emperor is thinking? "Anyway, it's free, so why not refuse it? The tonics in the palace are all top-quality medicinal materials. I can save them if I can't finish them."
Zhulan thought of the ginseng and other precious medicinal herbs she had saved. She would buy good ones every year. Together with the gifts she received, she had saved up quite a lot. Isn't it the same how big families save money bit by bit
Zhou Shuren said this, but after attending court, he still held Rongchuan back.
The father-in-law and son-in-law were chatting, and no one came close to Zhou Shuren today.
Rongchuan went to the morning court every day, and his father rarely took him along. Most of the time, he was accompanied by officials from the six ministries. Today, "Dad, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Zhou Shuren told him about the recent delivery of tonic medicine to the palace, "Do you know why?"
Rong Chuan really knew. His face looked strange. Zhou Shuren looked at him and asked, "You really know?"
Rong Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Well, it's nothing actually. The prince felt that you had worked hard, so he asked the emperor to send you some tonics, hoping that you can live a long life."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
This family is really enough.
Rong Chuan's lips curled up again, "The Emperor told the prince a lot about his father."
Zhou Shuren took a deep breath and said, "There are actually many sheep on the grassland. We don't need to catch every one of them."
If this continues, he feels that he will become a national treasure!
Rong Chuan chuckled, "There are many sheep, but not many people like Dad who are talented and know when to advance and retreat."
Driven by power, it is difficult to keep one's original intention.
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes wildly, bah, all emperors are bad guys, snorted, swung his sleeves and walked away quickly, now even his son-in-law is not attractive.
Rong Chuan hurriedly ran after him, "Dad, I am your beloved son-in-law."
Zhou Shuren almost fell down. "You are getting more and more shameless. You even call me your precious son-in-law. How dare you say that."
Rongchuan smiled happily. One must be thick-skinned. God knows, after being with such an old-fashioned man for too long, he would feel that he could do without any shame.
At the Dong family, Dong Zhan watched speechlessly as his mother packed his luggage. "Mom, I want to stay at home until Brother Mingyun returns from Pingzhou City."
Dong Zhan’s mother said, “You don’t understand.”
Dong Zhan thought to himself, he really understood. Ever since he came back, he had felt the tension in his family. Several of his cousins who were good at studying were very jealous of him.
Only his parents and eldest brother were really happy that he came back. His grandfather didn't want him to come back because his return would aggravate the conflicts in the family.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the eldest brother has matured a lot. He also advised him not to push himself too much, as the eldest brother would not be considerate of him in the past.
The way his uncles looked at him made him feel very uncomfortable.
And there is grandpa. Dong Zhan lowered his head. He could guess some of grandpa's thoughts. Grandpa felt that he was biased, so he wanted him to be successful in the future and be able to take care of his uncles.
Dong Zhan's mother said, "You should stay at your grandfather's house for a few days. I will stay with you."
She and her husband not only have to be on guard against the other families, but also the old man. They don't want the old man to put all the pressure on his son. If the other families are good and they are connected by blood, they should be helped. But if they have already developed resentment, no matter how much you help, they will not appreciate it. Instead, it will deepen the resentment and they will only feel that the compensation is not enough.
So her son had to leave. If it wasn't too abrupt to send him to Pingzhou City, she would have preferred to send her son to Pingzhou City.
