Back in the main courtyard, Zhulan felt tired looking at her daughter's clothes, "There's no one else in the room, you don't have to hold it all the time, take a break."
Xue Han didn't try to hold back, "Now that my elder sister is back, it's time to arrange Jiang Du's marriage."
Zhu Lan hummed, "When your eldest sister has a daughter-in-law in the future, she can follow your eldest brother-in-law everywhere with peace of mind."
Xue Han laughed. Her mother envied her elder sister. "She is doing well now."
Some people envy the eldest sister, while some people do not. She thinks that the eldest sister's life is worthwhile. Not to mention her children, which woman in this era can enjoy the country like the eldest sister.
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "She lived a very carefree life. When she is old and can no longer walk, everything she saw and felt will be treasured by future generations."
Xue Han curved her eyes and said, "Mom, Rong Chuan will take me to the south next year."
Zhulan: "That's good."
She didn't want her daughter to be trapped in the capital as the Princess of Qin. It would be a good thing for her to go out and see more.
Xue Han said: "Rongchuan said that the southern ports are developing very fast, and many new things have appeared."
"Ming Teng has brought back quite a few."
Some handicrafts are becoming more and more diversified, and a number of emerging industries have developed.
Xue Han asked: "Second brother, is there anything I can help you with? Every time I ask my second sister-in-law, she always says no."
"Since your second sister-in-law said so, then there is no need. Your second brother can handle it."
Xue Han was also afraid that someone would bully her second brother. Since her mother said so, she was no longer worried. "Is Mingrui's marriage settled?"
"Well, we'll get engaged after Jiang Du gets married."
"Many girls in the capital will be sad this time."
Zhulan was happy, "Someone has chosen our beautiful girl."
Xue Han was also happy because her family had a handsome boy, and she, as an aunt, had been asked about this by many people!
The next morning, in the courtyard closer to the front yard of the Wang family, this was Wang Wei's courtyard. As the eldest grandson of the great-grandson's generation, the courtyard was naturally large.
Yu Lu was still a little dazed when she opened her eyes. It was only when she felt someone lying next to her that she slowly realized that she was getting married.
Wang Wei had already woken up, and when he saw his newlywed wife come back to her senses, he said, "She's awake."
Yu Lu blushed, "Yeah."
It was still early, so Wang Wei held down his wife who was about to get up and said, "It's still early, rest a little longer."
Yu Lu has seen Wang Wei quite often over the years, and the two of them are not without feelings for each other. After hearing this, she felt relieved and hummed without pretending to close her eyes. This is because the Wang family has strict rules. She has a mother-in-law, grandmother, and great-grandmother above her. The harem is not as united and loving as the Zhou family. She must get enough rest and not bring shame to the Zhou family.
Wang Wei touched his nose. In the days before the wedding, his elder brother-in-law and the young marquis came to him every day. Even if he didn't say anything about his great-grandfather and grandfather, he never thought of bullying his wife.
Wang Wei is not the kind of person who turns a deaf ear to the world outside and only focuses on studying. His eldest grandson's education is comprehensive. He knows his family's situation. He is worried that his wife, who grew up in the friendly environment of the Zhou family, may be able to cope with it.
Obviously, Wang Wei's worries were unnecessary, as the reputation of Miss Zhou in the capital over the years was well-deserved.
Yu Lu was liked by Mrs. Tao and the old lady, and because of her family background, no one dared to bully her. Even if Wang Wei's mother was unhappy, she couldn't find any reason to find fault. The only thing she could talk about was her dowry, which was surprisingly decent.
Because there are three generations of women above her, Yu Lu remembers her grandmother saying that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you avoid being passive. Over the years, she has learned a lot about the preferences of the women in the Wang family.
Before she got married, her grandmother gave her more detailed information. No one knew how her grandmother found out, but she also knew about the grudges between the stewards of the Wang family.
This morning, Yu Lu received a lot of gifts. When she returned to her own yard, her tense heart finally relaxed.
Wang Wei looked at his wife with amusement, "You don't have to worry about me. I will be going back to Xizhou in a few days."
Yu Lu, "You don't understand."
The relationship between my mother-in-law and my grandmother has indeed eased a lot, but the traces are left, and my mother-in-law will still remember it, which makes it difficult for her as a daughter-in-law.
On one side is the mother-in-law, and on the other side is the grandmother. It makes me upset just thinking about it.
Wang Wei coughed and said, "If our son had come earlier, my mother would have definitely provided for you."
Yu Lu blushed and glared, "In broad daylight."
Fortunately, all the maids were sent out. Thinking about the maids in the yard, the maid she brought with her was the one that grandma asked her aunt to find for her. The eldest sister's maid was also found in the same way.
She had more maids as a dowry than her elder sister, but her elder sister didn't need them. She should be grateful for having such an amazing family. She knew that some of the maids and old women in the original courtyard had been sent away.
This is the sincerity expressed by the Wang family to the Zhou family. This is what her grandfather fought for her. The daughter of the Zhou family is indeed enviable.
In a blink of an eye, it was three days since she returned home. Zhulan was completely relieved when she saw the sweetness between the young couple.
Chang Zhong waited for Yu Lu and her husband to leave, and said, "Mom, don't you want to take a look at the return gift?"
"Nothing to see. The Wang family values return gifts more than we do."
This return gift is a gesture of attitude towards the Zhou family. She doesn't need to look at it. The marriage between the Wang family and the Zhou family is mutually beneficial. Since the Zhou family's status has changed, it is a great joy for the Wang family. The Wang family will only value Yu Lu more.
Changzhong, "It's troublesome to get married."
"That's because you're still young and you think it's troublesome. Once you have children, you won't think it's troublesome anymore."
Changzhong held up his finger and said, "I don't want to have so many children like my eldest brother. I just want to be like my fourth brother."
Zhulan snorted, "Your mother has given birth to many children, too."
Changzhong smiled apologetically, "That's because my mother is great."
Zhulan, "You're the only one who can speak."
The eldest wife and her husband almost cried. They could no longer rely on Boss Zhou, so Mingyun stepped forward.
Wang Wei respects his uncle and keeps everything he says in mind.
Mingyun took out the materials he had sorted out and his own notes, "This is what I prepared for you."
Wang Wei took it and looked at it. It was so precious. His eldest uncle was the real runner-up. He almost became the top scorer. His great-grandfather said that his eldest uncle lacked some luck back then. His grandfather also told him to learn more from his eldest uncle.
Mingyun thought to himself that he would naturally have to treat his brother-in-law differently before and after his sister got married. Now that his sister was married, he wanted his brother-in-law to respect and be grateful to him. He had already won over his brother-in-law, so why would he be afraid that he would treat his sister badly
Minghui looked at his brother-in-law, who was completely immersed in the emotion and had no idea of his elder brother's thoughts.
Ming Teng also took out a copy and said, "I didn't take the imperial examination, but I found some of my uncle's notes from his early years for you. I hope they can help you."
Wang Wei was so happy that he almost fainted. And so was Prince Qin, who was also a genuine third place winner in the imperial examination.
Minghui twitched his lips. Uncle Wu Ming was not in the capital, otherwise there would have been an extra top scholar. His family was really awesome. No wonder many young men from aristocratic families in the capital were trying their best to become disciples of their third and fourth uncles.
Minghui is the younger brother and does not need to prepare anything. Mingjing continued to eat snacks. The conversation in front of him seemed to have little to do with him.
Minghui felt a little worried when he saw his younger brother, but then he thought that what his mother said was right. Mingjing had several powerful brothers, and it would be nice for him to live an easy life.
Minghui picked up the snack beside him and handed it to his brother, "Have another piece."
Ming Jing smiled sweetly, "Thank you, brother."
Minghui was too soft-hearted to care about his younger brother. He naturally had to pamper him, "Be good."
