In the Zhou family carriage, Yudie curled her lips, "Grandma, Miss Shangjia is really not good enough."
If Shang Qing could be more tough and generous, she would still have a better impression of him. Now she doesn't want to say much. Mingrui is her biological brother. She hopes that her sister-in-law can help her brother instead of holding him back and making him distracted to protect him.
Yu Yi considered objectively, "Ms. Shang Qing cannot be the eldest daughter-in-law. She has some ideas, but she is still too naive. She is too well protected and has no sense of responsibility."
If it were her, there wouldn't be any farce happening today. She is the master.
Zhulan hummed. Her granddaughter's close contact was similar to what she had seen. As she grew older, she became more shrewd. Tsk tsk, her eyes really needed to be trained to be very sharp.
Seeing that her grandmother was unwilling to talk more, Yudie realized that Miss Shangqing had no chance, so she rolled her eyes and said, "There is a young lady who is quite interesting."
Zhulan said, "Tell me about it?"
Yudie smiled, "How should I put it? I think she is a bit like the fifth sister. She is not lazy but insightful. She seems to be the granddaughter of the close friend of the old lady Shangjia. Miss Shangjia wanted to drag her into the water several times, but she was blocked by her. Her eyes turned cold, which was very intimidating."
Yuyi continued, "It's hard to ignore this girl when she's sitting. Just like grandma said, her presence is very strong. Well, she's also very powerful when she talks."
Zhulan became interested. She knew her granddaughter well, and there were not many girls that could interest both Yudie and Yuyi. Obviously, this girl was highly regarded by the two granddaughters.
Zhulan thought for a moment, "How old?"
Yudie said, "He is the same age as Brother Mingrui, and he is the only one."
Zhulan asked, "Only what?"
Yuyi explained: "The only thing is that this girl is a little fat, but she doesn't care."
Zhulan smiled and said, "You are still young, and the fat you are getting is just puffiness."
After thinking it over in my mind, I knew the girl's surname. It was Lin, and her father was the Right Censor-in-Chief, a fourth-rank official.
In the palace, after the queen learned the news, she said to the female official beside her: "I knew it wouldn't work."
Female official, "Mrs. Yang has high expectations for her grandson's daughter-in-law."
The Queen didn't care about this matter. If it wasn't for Madam Shangjia coming to the palace to see her, she wouldn't have paid attention to it later. "Who knows whose daughter the best boy from the Zhou family will marry."
Female officer, "Fate is determined by heaven, you never know when it will happen."
The queen sighed in her heart that the girl from the Zhou family had a sense of the overall situation that really moved her, but unfortunately she could only watch with envy.
A few days later, the first person to arrive in the capital was Yujiao. The little girl was in a hurry to return from her journey. She was originally a delicate girl, and she fell ill when she arrived in the capital.
Zhulan held the medicine and said, "Drink it and your illness will be cured."
Yujiao blinked her big eyes, she didn't like drinking medicine, if her sister brought it to her, she could still act like a spoiled child, but now she was grandma, dad and mom said grandma was the eldest in the family, she also had some memories of it, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and drank the medicine soup in the last gulp.
Yuyi just felt that her sister was becoming more and more pampered. Seeing her sister retching, she took a piece of candy and put it into her sister's mouth.
Yu Jiao's eyes were filled with tears. "Sweet."
Zhulan smiled. This girl was the only delicate one in the family. "Take good care of herself for a few days. Once she's well, she won't need to take medicine anymore."
Yuqiao's nose twitched, "Yeah."
Yuyi glared at her sister unhappily, "Just stay in the house for the next few days."
Yuqiao nodded honestly, "Yeah."
Zhulan touched her granddaughter's forehead and pulled up the quilt. "Hurry up and lie down and have a rest."
Yujiao closed her eyes. The little girl was indeed tired from the journey and fell asleep soon.
Zhulan stood up and said to Yuyi, "You take care of it more. If there is anything, let the maid come to the main courtyard."
Yuyi nodded, "Yeah."
When Yujiao fell ill, Li and others came to visit her. When Zhulan wanted to leave, Li and others also left with her.
Zhulan returned to the main courtyard, and Zhao followed her. As they walked, Zhao said, "Mother, the second son of the Shang family has been asking about the Ronghou Mansion recently."
Zhulan was helpless, "We won't marry into the business community, why are you still paying attention to the business community?"
Zhao was embarrassed, "My husband said he was worried that Mingrui would be plotted against, so he paid more attention to him."
Zhulan thought that it was not good for the couple to be too careful, and they were too tired. If she stopped them, the couple would not know how to worry. "Enqing is the marquis and is also in the Maritime Affairs Department. It is normal for the second son of the merchant to pay attention."
Zhao: "Yeah."
So the business is really not good. It would be so troublesome if I got married.
Zhao added, “At the last merchant banquet, there were some bad rumors about Miss Merchant’s reputation.”
"The old lady of the merchant house must be extremely regretful."
The faster you left at that time, the more you will regret it now, but it's too late to regret.
Yujiao recovered quickly. When Zhou Shuren was taking a rest, the little girl was well.
Zhou Shuren was lying in a rocking chair, listening to his granddaughters talking in the yard. He said to his wife beside him, "I feel really bad when I think about the girls getting married."
After raising him/her to this age, he/she will become someone else's family now that he/she is old enough.
Zhulan: "Then you won't get married?"
Zhou Shuren choked, "You old lady, I just feel emotional."
Zhulan snorted, "You've been feeling a little too sentimental lately."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Now that I have seen my children grow up, I can't help but feel a little more emotional."
He has become a great-grandfather, and yet he is not allowed to express his feelings more.
Zhulan rolled her eyes inwardly, "Xuemei also prepared a painting for Yulu."
Zhou Shuren stopped stroking his beard and said, "I never thought Jiang Sheng would achieve what he has today."
The eldest son-in-law's paintings are really worth a lot of money. I give him one or two every year, and he keeps them all carefully. They are all worth a lot of money!
Zhulan couldn't hear her granddaughters' voices, so she asked Qingxue, "Where are they?"
Qingxue said: "Miss Yudie and the others knew that Master Mingrui was going out, so they followed him out."
Zhulan, "It must be Yujiao who wants to go out and take a look."
Zhou Shuren lay back down again. "It's so painful to go out in such hot weather."
As he spoke, he looked at his wife with a little look in his eyes, his hand had already reached for the chilled watermelon, and then he was hit.
Zhu Lan glared at him and said, "Don't you know your own stomach?"
Zhou Shuren withdrew his hand aggrievedly. His wife was really cruel. "I know, I know."
On the streets of Beijing, Yujiao pulled the carriage curtain and said, "The capital is still prosperous."
Yudie, "They say the south is more prosperous."
Yu Jiao curled her lips, "That depends on the place. Not all southern states are prosperous. Some places are particularly poor."
Yudie said enviously, "I have never been out of the capital."
Yu Jiao waved her hand, "The capital is so nice."
She likes to stay in a bustling place where it is lively and fun.
Yuyi supported the drowsy Yuwen, pinched Yuwen's face twice and sighed. She really didn't want to come out, but her second sister didn't come, so she had to watch her. Now with Yujiao around, she was really worried.
When the carriage arrived at the bookstore, Mingrui was the first to get off and waited for his sisters to get off.
Yudie was the first to get off the carriage. She looked at the person walking out of the bookstore and exclaimed, then she remembered, "It's her!"
