At Zhou's house, not long after Yudie left, Tao came to the door. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "Oh, you haven't seen how good Zhuoping is. He changes every day."
Zhulan was speechless. "It's only the third day of the baby's birth. How much can the baby change even if he grows faster?"
Tao, "Can't you just say a few words along with what I'm saying?"
"Okay, okay, the child is growing well, that's all for now."
Tao found it extremely boring. "You are too perfunctory."
Zhulan, "You're not just here to show off the child."
Tao looked somewhat reluctant. Thinking of her old lady's instructions, she said, "This is not Wang Hua's engagement. The old lady wants to find a woman for Wang Hua as a dowry. The old lady heard from me that you have a connection, so she asked me to ask you shamelessly."
Zhulan did have connections. After all, the Princess of Qin was her daughter. There were many maids released from the palace, but the good ones were in short supply. If she didn't have connections, she could only watch. "Where is Wang Hua's original maid?"
Tao snorted lightly, "The old lady has already sent them away. If she wasn't worried that Wang Hua wouldn't have anyone familiar around him, she would have meant to replace everyone around Wang Hua."
Zhulan thought about the relationship between the Zhou family and the Wang family, and how much she needed to help. "Okay, I'll make a note of it. I'll show it to you when I find someone."
Tao, “Okay.”
She really didn't want to continue to manage the second wife's affairs.
Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry anymore. I heard that you are going to separate soon."
Tao finally smiled. "Ah, it's not that I can't accommodate two branches. The Wang family has few descendants. The second and third branches are precious in the eyes of the old man. So the second and third branches want a lot."
Zhulan knew it all, and it was because she felt that she was important that she became more and more unbalanced.
Tao thought for a moment and said, "My eldest son has already replied to the letter. He knows that the baby was born safely. My daughter-in-law sent a lot of things back. The letter arrived in the capital first, so the things will have to wait a while."
Zhulan was surprised, "I thought your daughter-in-law would come back!"
Tao said, "She knows in her heart that she is relieved that I am looking after the child. She is used to being the boss outside and doesn't want to come back and be controlled."
Zhulan thought it would be better not to come back, so that her granddaughter would be more at ease.
Tao left after a short while. It was only because the two families had a good relationship that Tao came over in the afternoon. Normally, he would visit in the morning.
In Huizhou mountain village, Mingrui and Shangguan Liu had already eaten hot meals. Mingrui was very cautious. They ate in the yard of a fellow villager's house. Before eating, he threw away some food to feed the chickens. He was relieved when he saw that the chickens were fine after eating.
Shangguan Liu finally had normal food and drank water comfortably. "Shall we leave soon?"
Mingrui was not sure if he would encounter assassins. It was already late, and the mountain roads were unsafe at night. Surrounded by mountains, he could hear wolves howling from time to time. He was in a dilemma. He suppressed his annoyance and said, "Let's stay here today. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Shangguan Liu looked down at their clothes and asked, "Should we change our clothes too?"
Mingrui frowned, "Yeah."
There were not many households in the mountain village, only a dozen or so in total, and most of them were hunters. Mingrui chose a family living on the edge of the mountain.
Mingrui looked at the steamed bun in his hand and looked at the dozen or so households in the village. When he entered the village, he found that this village was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There was not much land in the village and all the workers were women. They had been to the mountain village before, but had never seen white flour in the mountain village. All they saw were coarse grains. The food that the mountain village treated them to was so good.
Shangguan Liu is inexperienced, while Mingrui's father is often away, so he has heard a lot. Mingrui is a meticulous person, so he feels that the village is too discordant.
In the forest, the officers, soldiers and guards have found the jade pendants of Mingrui and Shangguan Liu. There was no blood on the jade pendants, and no clothes torn by wild beasts were found nearby. The officers, soldiers and guards felt relieved, thinking that the two young masters must be fine.
The Zhou family's servant was about to cry. The servant was good at martial arts. When the young master suddenly rushed over, he realized that he could not catch up with him and could only continue to chase him. However, Young Master Shangguan's servant had already died at the first moment.
The servant was extremely tired, but now he was refreshed and silently prayed in his heart that the young master must be fine, must be fine.
In the capital, it was already late, but Yudie and Lin Qing were stuck on the road. Yudie was speechless when she heard the maid asking about the situation. "Has that scholar read too many storybooks? The capital is under the feet of the emperor, how could there be such a thing as bullying men and women?"
Everyone knows that the emperor is in a bad mood recently. Even the playboys have brains. Playboys are rarely seen on the streets of the capital these days. Either they know not to cause trouble, or they are confined at home by their elders.
Lin Qing, "This is the capital, and there are powerful people everywhere. Isn't he afraid of implicating his companions?"
Lin Qingke heard from the maid that several scholars came to the capital for a tour.
At this time, Yudie heard a knock on the car window. She opened the window screen and looked, and said in surprise: "Second brother, why are you here?"
Ming Teng, "I should be the one asking you, why are you here?"
Yudie said, "I accompanied Sister Lin to change the strings of her zither. We were just about to go home when the road ahead was blocked."
Lin Qing shielded her face with a fan and nodded slightly. Ming Teng also nodded. This was her future sister-in-law.
Ming Teng said: "Xu Chen is being entangled, I'll go over and take a look."
Yudie was stunned, "Prince Qi?"
Ming Teng nodded, "Well, I'll go over and take a look."
Yudie waited until her second brother left before she realized, "The person in front of me is actually the prince of Qi. This makes it even more impossible for him to bully men and women."
Lin Qing, "Prince Qi is also unlucky."
It was more than just bad luck. Due to Xu Chen's good royal upbringing, he did not lose his temper in the street. He kindly asked the guards to hold the frightened horse, in order to save people and prevent pedestrians on the street from being hit. Unexpectedly, the girl in the carriage came down to thank him. He did not ask for anything in return, but the girl looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Then another mentally ill man rushed over and said that he was raping a woman. It was really funny to say that he was infuriating. He was the prince of Qi and he could get any woman he wanted.
Ming Teng rode over on horseback, and the guards he brought with him dispersed the crowd without even looking at the scholar, "Let's go."
Xu Chen turned his horse around, "Okay."
Miss Liu was anxious. It was not easy to meet the Prince of Qi. What a good opportunity today. She wanted to hate the scholar who disturbed the situation. She pretended not to know the Prince of Qi, "Sir."
Xu Chen left quickly without even looking back. He just regretted that he didn't bring enough people with him, otherwise he would have left long ago. He would definitely bring enough guards with him next time he went out.
Ming Teng did not follow them, "I will go back home with my sister."
Xu Chen, "Thank you."
Ming Teng waved his whip, "You're welcome."
Ming Teng was looking for his own carriage and saw the Liu family's carriage running parallel to his own. It was unknown what the Second Young Master Liu said. Yudie covered her face with a fan. He knew his sister so well. Yudie must have been smiling very happily.
Ming Teng sighed, what a fate, and walked away with a cold face, "It's not good for two carriages to run side by side!"
Liu Yuanbo heard it and said, "Tuesday, Prince Rong."
Ming Teng moved his ears. The boy almost called Zhou Er not Mr. Zhou, but Brother Zhou Er, right
