Liu Yuanbo remained silent. He met a different Miss Zhou today. Today in the jewelry shop, Miss Zhou was confident and smart when she was explaining, especially when she was talking about the meaning. He couldn't think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the redder his face became.
Guo blinked his eyes. Yes, the person in front of him was indeed his son.
When Zhulan returned home, she called Zhao and told her about her experience with Guo and the young master of the Liu family. "You can try to get in touch with them."
Zhao trusted her mother-in-law's judgment. Her mother-in-law asked her to contact Guo, which showed that Guo was good. "I will choose an opportunity to contact him. Mother, how about Mr. Liu?"
"She has good looks, good manners and good upbringing, but her temper is the only problem."
Zhao's mind was in turmoil, and she and her husband wanted to take a closer look.
In the evening, Zhulan and Shuren talked about the Liu family, "What do you think?"
Zhou Shuren listened to Chang Yi talking about Doctor Liu, and he just took it as a joke, "Only if what Doctor Liu said is true."
Zhu Lan was also confused. "These two people have different concepts. They feel fresh at first, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to stand each other after a long time. What if Doctor Liu's son is not like him in terms of emotions?"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Our girl is still young, so we are not in a hurry. If we are in a hurry, it should be others."
Zhu Lan thought the same thing, "Xue Han sent me a letter saying Rong Chuan has already set a date for his departure. He will leave after the palace examination."
"Rongchuan won't leave until the results are announced?"
"From what Xue Han said, Rong Chuan has an errand and can't be delayed."
Zhou Shuren said: "Changzhong should come with us, our son can't stay at home for a few more days."
"Yeah, I was thinking about what luggage to pack for him. When I thought about it carefully, I had too many things to pack."
Zhou Shuren felt a little regretful. "Do you think my son will be angry if I suddenly change my mind?"
At this critical moment, he was reluctant to let his son leave them.
Zhulan didn't want her son to leave home either. "You can try."
"I'd better not try it. If I regret it, your son will be angry and ignore me."
Zhu Lan raised her hand and punched the old man, "What do you mean by my son? He is not your son?"
Zhou Shuren smiled apologetically, "I'll write a letter to Wu Ming and tell him."
"Um."
Zhou Shuren added: "Meng Jie's position as an official is not far from Wu Ming. I will also write a letter."
"good."
Because Changzhong was going to follow Rongchuan and his wife, Zhulan found that time passed particularly quickly. If she did nothing in a day, the whole day would be over.
No matter how reluctant Zhulan was, the time passed quickly and it was already the palace examination, the third day after it ended.
On the day Rongchuan set off, Zhou Shuren took a special leave to send his son out of Beijing with his wife.
On the way out of Beijing, in the Zhou family carriage, Zhulan didn't want to cry, her eyes turned red uncontrollably, she held her handkerchief in one hand, and held her son with the other hand, "Listen to your brother-in-law when you go out, don't run around, and someone should follow you wherever you go, and never let Shenxing leave your side."
Zhou Shuren held his son's hand and continued, "Your body can be sold for a good price. You must remember not to accept food from strangers, and don't be too nosy. If you are kidnapped, your father will have a hard time finding you even if he has great ability."
He couldn't say any more. If he continued, he would not be able to help but ask the driver to turn around and go home. He was really worried about his son going out. This was his precious baby.
Zhulan was terrified after hearing this and twisted her husband hard, "I told you to only say bad things and to be a bad-mouthed person. I'm telling you, if my son gets hurt, I'll never forgive him."
Zhou Shuren laughed out loud in pain, "Is it not okay for me to just say 'Puh, Puh'? I was wrong. Stop it."
Changzhong, "... "
He could recite his parents' words backwards, how many times had he said this? He couldn't even remember!
Zhulan let go of her hand and took a bundle. "This bundle contains underwear. In each underwear, mother has secretly sealed silver bills for you. Remember to remove them when you wash them. Silver bills are not waterproof."
Then she took out the bag containing the shoes and said, "These are mechanical shoes. There are banknotes, small gold melon seeds and silver peanuts in the shoes. Mother had them waterproofed. They are fine if exposed to water for a short time, but not for a long time. You should be careful."
Zhulan took out another belt and said, "This is also a specially made belt. There are pearls and gold beans inside the belt. Please put it away carefully."
Chang Zhong was dumbfounded. "Mom, what are you preparing these for?"
"Isn't this just in case? I'm just afraid that you might run into trouble and have no money."
Zhou Shuren was also a little dumbfounded. His wife had hidden the silver in every place possible. Then something was wrong. "If I remember correctly, you gave Shenxing 500 taels and gave your son 200 taels. You also hid so much silver. This kid followed Rongchuan without spending a penny. I calculated that you gave him almost 1,000 taels?"
Zhu Lan squinted her eyes, "You said it's too little. Including the hidden silver, the total is 1,500 taels."
Zhou Shuren, "Isn't that too much?"
"not much."
She was worried about her son, whom she had risked her life to give birth to, unless she brought him some extra money.
Zhou Shuren rubbed his son's head and said, "You must be careful when you go out. You can't show off your wealth with so much money. Also, remember all the tricks your mother told you."
Changzhong was speechless. He was so young and those tricks could not be used on him.
Soon they arrived at the city gate. Changzhong's eyes were red. He was reluctant to leave his parents. Rongchuan came with the guards to pick them up.
Zhou Shuren helped his wife get off the carriage and said to Rongchuan, "I'll leave Changzhong to you. You must keep an eye on him."
Rong Chuan assured, "Dad, I will definitely keep an eye on my little brother."
Changzhong was carried on the horse by his brother-in-law, "Dad, don't be angry with mom when I'm not at home. If you make mom angry, no one will help you."
Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "Your mother couldn't bear to beat me. She was just trying to scare me."
Chang Zhong: “Heh.”
Zhou Shuren exploded, "Get down here, you little bastard."
Zhulan pushed her husband aside and said, "Don't be picky about food. If you lose weight when you return to Beijing, mother will give you double the weight!"
Changzhong sniffed and said, "Mom, you must remember to miss me when I'm not at home. I'm your great treasure, and my dad can't take my place."
Zhou Shuren, "!!"
Rong Chuan suppressed his laughter and waved to his parents, "Mom and Dad, you guys go back, we are leaving."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren waved. Looking at Rongchuan's back as he rode on horseback, Zhulan couldn't help crying, "Our son must be crying."
Zhou Shuren, "Ah, the gold nugget must be connected."
Zhu Lan tried to hold back, but still couldn't help pinching Zhou Shuren, "Be serious."
Zhou Shuren looked at the team going away eagerly, "This little bastard left, and it seems our hearts followed him. This brat didn't even bother to look back at us."
Zhulan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "When you get old, you become sentimental."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Shall we go back home?"
Zhulan: "... Wait until you can no longer see the convoy."
On Rongchuan's horse, Changzhong wiped his tears with his chubby hands and muttered, "I won't cry, I'm already a big boy, I don't regret it, I, I miss my parents, wuwu."
Rongchuan, "..."
He thought this kid was so tough, but it was totally beyond his expectations!
