The next day, Zhou Shuren went to court and did not wait for Mingteng and his wife to offer tea. Zhulan gave them the gifts she had prepared, and they looked very satisfied.
Zhulan tea was also drunk. Feeling sorry for Liu Jia who had walked a long way early in the morning, she said to Liu Jia, "You don't have to accompany me. Go back and rest."
Liu Jia's face turned red and she didn't know how to start.
Ming Teng was very thick-skinned, "Grandma, let's go back and rest first."
Zhulan waved her hand, "Yeah."
Ming Teng pulled Liu Jia out. Liu Jia endured it all the time. When they got back to their own yard, he glared, "We're leaving so soon, as if it was just for a meeting gift."
Ming Teng, "Grandma doesn't care. She knows you were tired yesterday. Don't worry. Grandma won't think too much about it."
Liu Jia's face turned even redder. "What? Why are you still talking about being tired?"
Ming Teng's eyes sparkled, and he said fiercely, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you. Do you want to rest or pack up?"
Liu Jia was no longer fierce. She did have a lot of things to do. She then said, "I want to go see my sister-in-law and the children later."
Ming Teng, "If you don't feel tired, go over and take a look. Actually, sister-in-law doesn't mind."
Liu Jia, "I'm not tired, go and do your thing."
Ming Teng also had things to do after his wedding, so he couldn't stay with his newlywed wife all the time. He stayed with her for a while and then went to do his work.
Liu Jia's dowry included a maid and four servants. All the servants in the courtyard were the original ones. Liu Jia did not make any adjustments and planned to arrange the dowry after getting familiar with the situation for a few days.
Liu Jia first arranged for the mother-in-law and two maids to count the dowry, and then she went to see her sister-in-law with gifts prepared for the children.
When Ran Wan saw Liu Jia, she smiled and said, "You've just gotten married and you're so busy. Why didn't you take a good rest and come to see me?"
Liu Jia, "I've finished everything. I came here thinking about my sister-in-law and the children."
Ran Wan was happy in her heart. She was still thinking about how to get along with her brother and sister-in-law. This brother and sister-in-law was different. Ming Teng was adopted after all. No one would complain if Liu Jia didn't come today. Liu Jia's coming was a sign of her importance. "I should have helped you get married, but I didn't expect Zhixuan to be in a hurry to come out. I didn't help you much in your marriage."
Liu Jia shook her head. "Don't say that, sister-in-law. I heard from Ming Teng that it was sister-in-law who helped mother keep an eye on the wedding in the early stages."
Ran Wan didn't expect Ming Teng to say this to Liu Jia, and blinked, "You two have such a good relationship."
Liu Jia's face turned red again, and Ran Wan's smile deepened. They had just gotten married, and they would not be so shy after a while.
In the imperial palace, Zhou Shuren stayed in the palace and tasted several convenient foods.
The emperor pointed at the noodles and said, "This needs to be cooked. It goes really well with the stew."
Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes. How should I put it? This was the first time he saw dried noodles in ancient times. In ancient times, he always ate freshly made noodles and he almost forgot about dried noodles. Now he felt very familiar with it. He had eaten it a lot in modern times.
The emperor smiled and said, "I ate it a few times when I was in the war, but there was little fine food back then. After I became the emperor, I never ate it again. I just remembered it when you mentioned convenient food."
Zhou Shuren took the small bowl and took a bite. It had a familiar feeling. Although the flour in ancient times was not as white as the modern one, the taste was not much different. He really missed the days of eating boiled noodles with pickles.
The emperor was a sharp-minded person, "Has Shuren eaten it?"
Zhou Shuren, who has an ancient body, has never eaten this. In the past few years since he came to the ancient world, he has servants at home, and he has only eaten freshly made noodles. "No, I think there are records of this in the Tang Dynasty."
The Emperor nodded, "Shu Ren is very knowledgeable and has indeed recorded it."
Zhou Shuren put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Noodles are delicious and convenient, but they are not suitable for military rations. It's okay to improve it once or twice, but it can't be used as military rations for a long time."
The emperor smiled and said, "I know."
Although he did not interfere in political affairs, he was aware of the country's grain production. High-yield seeds needed to be cultivated from generation to generation, and now the results were very limited. Without high-yield wheat, let alone military rations, the people would not be able to afford much to eat.
Zhou Shuren wondered whether he should remind the emperor or give him some hints, but then he stopped the idea. He couldn't give hints about everything. If the emperor was willing to study it, then let him do it.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to return home. The return gift was not prepared by Zhulan, but by Rong Yuyun himself.
Li was not able to prepare the return gift herself, and she felt a little unhappy, saying, "Today I finally realized the honor of Ming Teng's surname."
"I thought you had realized it a long time ago."
Ming Teng got married at the Rong residence, and they also stayed at the Rong residence on the wedding night. After meeting Rong Yuyun, Ming Teng and his wife came over.
Mrs. Li, "... ... Mother is right, I have already realized it."
I have always ignored it, but today I can’t ignore it anymore.
Zhulan, "Do you regret it?"
Li shook her head, "Mom, I don't regret it. We can't give Ming Teng a better future. What Ming Teng has now is because of his last name Rong."
"Well, my mind is still clear."
Li was helpless, "Mom, I understand everything."
Zhu Lan thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to treat Liu Jia differently. She is your daughter-in-law after all. You should be a mother-in-law as you should be."
Li was thinking about it in her heart. Now she had a clear idea with her mother-in-law's words, "My daughter-in-law knows."
At the Liu family, Liu Jia got off the carriage and saw his parents, his eyes turned red.
Seeing that her daughter looked in good spirits, Ma finally put her mind at ease.
Liu Jing said to Ming Teng: "Let's go to the study."
Ming Teng's status was different from that of his father-in-law, so he was not afraid even if his father-in-law had a serious face. He smiled and said, "Okay."
Liu Jing felt depressed. It was not good to have a son-in-law of high status. It was difficult to put on airs as a father-in-law. He said in a frustrated tone, "This way."
Ma took her daughter to the yard, and when they returned to the house, she asked, "Did anyone give you any trouble?"
Liu Jia, "Mom, just put your heart at ease, no one will make things difficult for me."
Ma thought for a while and said, "Your husband was adopted. You should also be more filial to your mother-in-law. You must not think that being adopted means you are the son of two families."
Liu Jia knew it in her heart. When she met her great grandfather, he scolded her, "Mom, I know it in my heart."
"I'm glad you understand. Are the other families getting along well?"
Liu Jia smiled and said, "Easy to get along with. Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt are both easy to get along with."
Ma was completely relieved this time, and said with emotion: "The Zhou family's backyard is quiet and peaceful, you will enjoy a good life if you marry there."
In the study, Ming Teng and his father-in-law were speechless. Ming Teng sat there for a while and felt a little uncomfortable. "Dad, do you have anything to say to your son-in-law?"
Liu Jing had a lot to say, but when he faced Ming Teng, he felt that the words he had prepared didn't sound right, "Take good care of Jiajia in the future."
Ming Teng was silent, thinking about what his elder brother said. Old Master Ran had told his elder brother a lot, so he had asked his elder brother for advice in vain. "My son-in-law will treat my wife well."
Liu Jia's two brothers looked at each other and thought, it was a conversation that started off well but ended badly.
