Mrs. Tao let out a long breath, and she felt a lot better after letting it out. "To be honest, I really want to let it go, but for the sake of the reputation of the Wang family, I must still take care of it."
Zhulan said: "I heard that Wen Rong's marriage is about to be finalized."
"Ah, when did it happen, why didn't I know?"
Zhulan is very well-informed when she doesn't go out. "The old lady of the Lin family told me that she heard from the Qi family that they already have a girl they like."
Mrs. Tao reacted, "The Qi family is Wen Rong's maternal family. It seems the news is true."
"Not necessarily. You can ask around when you go back."
Mrs. Tao remembered it in her heart. If it weren't for Wang Hua, she wouldn't be willing to pay attention to the Wen family. "By the way, I'll bring some of your pickles back. My old lady got angry recently and couldn't eat. Yesterday she talked about your pickles. ”
Zhulan, "Okay, I'll bring you some more. By the way, Prince Qin's Mansion gave me some fruits a few days ago. You can also help me bring some back to Yulu."
Tao asked, "Is the tribute fruit sent by the Qin Palace?"
"Well, the tribute fruit just arrived in Beijing."
Tao's tone was full of jealousy, "I also have a son-in-law. I see my son-in-law only a few times a year to show my filial piety. If you, my son-in-law, have any good things, just send them over."
"Can you and my son-in-law be the same? I raised this son-in-law as my son."
"So you are very lucky. Come on, let me enjoy your blessing and give me more good luck."
Zhulan did not avoid Tao's hand, "You are getting more and more hands-on as you age."
"You used to be too thin, but now you are chubby and fleshy."
Bamboo orchid, "..."
She has no hope of losing weight anymore. She is now a fat old lady. She is so fat that she seems to be shorter.
From the Wang family, Mrs. Tao brought back two boxes of fruits and said to the curious Yulu, "Your grandma asked me to bring these back to you."
Yulu was embarrassed, "This must have been saved from grandma and grandpa. I made them worry about it."
Mrs. Tao, "Old people care about their children, and your grandma worries about you the most."
There were too many troubles in the big family, and she knew how worried Yang was about her granddaughter Yulu.
Yulu's pregnancy was a little sentimental. After she got married, her family members were concerned about her, and they were afraid that she would be angered by the Wang family. They gave her good things from time to time, and said in a somewhat heavy nasal voice, "I'm fine."
Mrs. Tao, "It's getting late, so I've gone back to rest. By the way, you can give some of these two boxes of fruit to the ancestors so that others don't have to share them. These are tribute fruits, so you can keep them for yourself."
When she said this, she became even more angry, "When Wang Hua and I came, you didn't have to treat them with good things. They ate the good things and didn't say a few nice things to you behind your back. Such white-eyed wolves can't do anything good." Give."
Yulu was stunned. It was the first time that grandma said such serious words. Grandma was really angry with her second wife.
Yulu waited for her grandma to leave, picked up some fruits and asked them to take them to her ancestor's yard, and then picked up a few more and gave them to her grandma. Grandma said she didn't need to give them away, and she didn't need to give them to the other two houses as her junior. Grandma and grandpa share the same room.
Wang Wei watched his wife share the fruit, "Every box is gone."
Yulu, "I don't want to eat fruit that much now. One box is enough for our family of three."
Wang Wei hurriedly waved his hand, "This is tribute fruit. If I don't eat it, I'll give it to you and your child."
Yulu motioned to the girl to take it down and wash a few, then took her husband's hand and said, "If you don't eat it, neither will I or the child. We are a family and no one can be left behind."
Wang Wei was moved in his heart. He was not very young, and it was at the most emotional time, and in front of him was his married wife. This emotion touched him greatly, "Okay, no one in our family will be left behind. "
Yulu leaned in her husband's arms and listened to her husband's beating heart. This moment was the happiness that grandma said, the happiness that belonged to her.
The next day, there was a rare good weather in the capital. Zhulan agreed to help the old lady of the merchant choose jewelry. Since Shang Qing was also there, Zhulan asked several granddaughters who was going.
In the end, only Yudie wanted to go, Yuyi wanted to take Yujiao to learn the piano, but Yuwen didn't want to move.
Zhulan could only take Yudie to the appointment alone. She exchanged letters with the old lady of the merchant frequently, mainly because the old lady of the merchant took the initiative. She had to reply at first, but later she became a letter friend, and now she has developed enough to ask her out.
When Zhulan arrived, the merchant's old lady and her granddaughter had already arrived. Zhulan got off the carriage and asked, "Am I not late?"
The old lady of the merchant was in good spirits, waving her hands and saying, "You are not late because I am early."
Zhulan was surprised when she saw Shang Qing, "Shang Qing is getting more and more beautiful as he grows, and I can't even recognize him."
The old lady of the merchant said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said. In my eyes, this child has not changed much."
The upturned corners of the old lady's mouth betrayed her mood. The old lady was very proud of the changes in her granddaughter.
After seeing the courtesy, Shang Qing stepped aside graciously. His arrogance was gone, and he became more confident and calm.
Zhulan answered, "It's only when you look at it every day that you feel there isn't much change, but in my eyes the changes are too great."
Shang Qing's skin turned white, and the timidity he felt when he first returned to the capital was gone. The old lady raised her granddaughter cruelly, and the effect was remarkable.
The old lady said cheerfully, "Let's go in, and you can help me get more advice."
"good."
The two of them entered the shop and went up to the second floor. The old lady brought a lot of money. "I said in the letter that you would help me choose jewelry. In fact, many of them were chosen for me. The jewelry I chose is for Shang Qing's dowry. You will marry me." I have two granddaughters. Everyone in the capital praises you for your good taste and the beautiful jewelry you choose. You also help me choose. I also want Shang Qing to marry in style. "
After Zhulan heard this, she asked, "The old lady already has someone you like?"
The old lady got rid of a problem in her heart and did not hide it, "We have met each other. The youngest son of the Bao Yushi family has passed the 60th place in the imperial examination this spring. We will get engaged after the palace examination is over."
Zhulan, "You really trust me and are not afraid that I will tell you."
"I'm very good at judging people. You are reliable."
Why did the old lady take great care to make friends with Mr. Yang? On the one hand, they were close friends, and on the other hand, she wanted to leave some contacts for her granddaughter. Otherwise, she was already very old, so why would she bother to make friends with her.
The granddaughter's father doesn't care, but the mother is partial. She will leave when her granddaughter gets married. If she doesn't make arrangements, she will never feel relieved.
Zhulan naturally saw the old lady's thoughts. She was a grandmother and everyone loved her granddaughter. Zhulan was moved by the old lady's love for her granddaughter, which was why she accepted the old lady.
Yudie and Miss Shang sat together, and Yudie introduced Miss Shang to the gems brought by the shopkeeper.
Miss Shang listened carefully and said with emotion: "You know so much."
Yudie explained: "My father has researched gems, and I also like researching, so I know more. Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Miss Shang, "Can I?"
"sure."
Yudie likes to be a master very much. She teaches several younger sisters in the family. Now she has another student. She picks up the gems and explains them to Shang Qing.
The clerk stood aside and listened attentively, sighing in his heart that Ms. Zhou knew so much about gems in detail, even more than he knew.
