Zhulan came back to her senses, "No need."
Qingxue returned to her seat, and Zhulan motioned Qingxue not to stand, "You should sit for a while too."
Qingxue: "Yes."
Zhulan stretched out her hand to catch some rainwater, "There isn't much rain in the capital this year."
She had heard her eldest son say more than once that the crops were not growing well. The grain production had decreased this year, and there was a war. Even if the country had a surplus, it would take a few years.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and heard his wife sneezing. "Did she catch a cold?"
Zhulan said nasally, "Well, I went down and sat by the window for a long time."
Zhou Shuren knew his wife's anxiety after she calmed down, "Have you seen a doctor?"
"I've seen the doctor, it's nothing serious."
Zhou Shuren motioned Qingxue and the others to go down, raised his hand and touched his wife's forehead, fortunately it was not hot, "Don't read books today, go to bed early."
Zhu Lan nodded in response, "Do you know that the news of the war has spread throughout the capital?"
"Yes, we have arrested many people this afternoon, and they are now being tried in the Ministry of Justice Prison."
Zhulan sighed: "I heard from Changyi that the envoy of the embassy has already written a memorial to the Ministry of Rites and is preparing to leave for home."
Zhou Shuren felt distressed, "I would be satisfied if this year's tax revenue could be half of last year's."
Zhulan, "You have to think about the gold mine coming in."
"We can't put all of them into the market. Hey, now they are envoys. Once the envoys from various countries leave, the foreign merchants will return home."
'"Those who stayed behind wanted to profit from the war."
Zhou Shuren, "Oh, if you want to make money from the war, you have to see if I agree."
The next day, in Zhoujia Village, Jiang Miao had just gotten up when several uncles came over. "Uncle, what's the matter with you coming to see me so early?"
Uncle Jiang Er coughed, and then Uncle Jiang Da spoke, "This is not a war. I have discussed with your uncles that we should go to the capital together. It just so happens that we have not been to the capital yet."
Jiang Miao: "Are you all going?"
Uncle Jiang looked a little unnatural. "Well, I thought you were going back to the capital too. If we go together, we can take care of each other."
Jiang Miao looked at his second uncle and said, "Jiang Li's wedding day is coming soon. Isn't Jiang Li getting married?"
Uncle Jiang, "Marriage, this is the second thing I want to tell you. Jiang Li's wedding date has been moved up. She will be married in two days, and she will go to the capital with us after the wedding."
Jiang Miao touched the bracelet on his wrist, glanced at his uncle, and saw that everything had been discussed. He smiled and said, "Who said I'm going back to Beijing?"
Uncle Jiang was stunned. "You're not leaving?"
Jiang Miao shook his head, "No."
Uncle Jiang was anxious, "Are you crazy? Now the news has spread that the border can no longer be defended, and you still want to stay here?"
Jiang Miao's smile disappeared. "At first, there were rumors that the King of Qin was assassinated and his life or death was unknown. But within two days, it was confirmed that it was just a rumor. The King of Qin is fine. How credible are these rumors this time?"
There are many reasons why she can't leave. She is the granddaughter of the Zhou family. The Zhou family is here. If she leaves, the Zhou family will be in chaos.
Members of the Zhou family will go to Beijing to look for grandpa. Not to mention how to arrange the members, she is more worried that the emperor will think that it was grandpa who conveyed some message. It is not easy for grandpa to be in the capital. There are too many people who are jealous of grandpa and waiting for him to make a mistake. What if grandpa is punished
Therefore, she would not leave Zhoujia Village unless it was absolutely necessary. If she didn't leave, the Zhou family would be stable. Thinking of this, Jiang Miao looked at her husband, who supported her.
Uncle Jiang's face darkened. If Jiang Miao didn't leave, his younger brother wouldn't be able to welcome these uncles into the capital. His sister-in-law might even chase them out of the capital, not to mention welcoming them into the house. All his good plans ended up in vain.
Uncle Jiang coughed and said, "Miao Miao, you have never experienced war, so you don't know how scary women are, especially beautiful women."
Mu Fan interrupted, "It's not appropriate for uncle to scare my wife."
Uncle Jiang looked a little unnatural, and finally sighed, "There are more than 30 people in the Jiang family, Miu Miu."
Jiang Miao twirled the fan in her hand, unmoved. "Uncle, I know how to count. My ideas are my own. I have never stopped you uncles from leaving. If it's for the trip to the capital, I can't take more, but I can still take out fifty taels. Just consider it as your filial piety to you uncles."
Mu Fan raised the corners of his mouth as he admired the changed colors of the uncles' faces.
In the capital, Zhulan likes chatting with Guo, who is a talkative person.
Guo suddenly said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My boy took the token of exchange and refused to give it to me."
Zhulan also laughed, "You have to put it away carefully. If you lose it, you won't be able to find a replacement."
Guo, "Even if he lost the silver, he would never lose the token."
She was so lucky now that the King of Qin was fine and the matchmaker arrived successfully. If it had been a few days before the war broke out, the engagement would have been postponed again.
This engagement was very low-key, and she felt that Yudie was wronged.
Zhulan laughed and asked curiously, "Has Yuanbo ever lost money?"
Guo covered her face with a fan and said, "He lost a silver melon seed. He searched for it all night. After he found it, he counted the silver several times before going to bed."
Zhao really couldn't imagine that her son-in-law looked like a nobleman when he was counting silver.
In the garden, Liu Yuanbo was happy about his proposal. He came to Zhou's house when Zhou Mingrui was in the academy. Before the engagement, his purse was like a hole in the wall and could never hold any money. After the engagement, he finally stopped looking for him to drink tea and chat.
After walking for a while, something seemed wrong. Liu Yuanbo looked at Ming Jing who was entertaining him and asked, "Aren't we going to the lake?"
Ming Jing tilted her head, "Seven-year-olds can't sit together. My sisters are by the lake, so we can't go over."
Liu Yuanbo, "... "
No, the old lady asked Mingjing to bring him to the garden because she wanted him to spend more time with Yudie. They are already engaged!
Ming Jing blinked, "Is there anything wrong with what Third Brother told me?"
Liu Yuanbo, "!!"
Yes, absolutely. He wanted to cheat his uncle even when he was not at home. Was his money wasted
Mingjing put his chubby hands behind his back and thought to himself, he had heard from his brothers that his future brother-in-law was too stingy, and that wouldn't do. His brothers said they would make the brother-in-law more generous before his third sister got married.
Humph, humph, if you don’t please him, you still want to see the third sister? No way!
Mingjing looked up at the sky. The sky was really blue today. Young Master Liu was so pitiful!
Zhulan sent Guo away before she realized that Liu Yuanbo hadn't seen Yudie. She pinched Mingjing's chubby face and said, "You are so naughty."
Ming Jing laughed and said, "Grandma, I'm going home."
"Go ahead."
Guo knew that his son had not seen Yudie in the carriage, so he asked what happened, "You can't even please a child?"
Liu Yuanbo wanted to vomit blood. Was that an ordinary child? He said something nice and gave her a gift, but what was the result? When he arrived at the lake, Yudie had already left.
His eyes were darkening. There were too many uncles and brothers-in-law.
