At the next morning court session, Zhou Shuren was very quiet. Old Lord Wen did not wait for Zhou Shuren to make a move until the end of the court session. He paused hesitantly, and only after making sure that Zhou Shuren would not make a move did he leave with firm steps.
Zhou Shuren naturally noticed this, and he would not make trouble again for something that had already been dealt with.
Wang Ju tugged at the belt of her official uniform, "Is your Minghui's leg feeling better?"
"much better."
Wang Ju added: "Wang Wei is going to the Northeast on business, and he will probably return to the capital with Prince Liang."
"what happened?"
Wang Ju explained, "Prince Liang needs someone from the Ministry of Works to be sent to the Northeast. Wang Wei applied for it himself. I only found out about it yesterday."
"This kid is more motivated than you."
Wang Ju sighed, "I have been arranged since I was a child. Everything goes according to my father's plan. Wang Wei does have more ideas than me."
His original intention was for Wang Wei to slowly work in the Ministry of Industry without rushing to seek credit, but the child signed up quietly. The child has really grown up.
Zhou Shuren, "The Northeast is already very safe, and young children should go out more often to exercise."
Wang Ju sighed, "The children are growing up, and we are getting older. I don't know how long we can support them."
Zhou Shuren pointed at Wang Ju's belly and said, "Your wife said you're not feeling well. I think you're just fat. You should lose some weight."
Wang Ju touched his face and said, "Hey, it proves that I eat well."
Anyway, let’s not talk about losing weight. He is just a lazy person and a foodie. He can’t eat less.
Zhou Shuren was really worried about Wang Ju. Wang Ju's health was not as good as his. He suspected that Wang Ju had high blood pressure. "Eating is more important, or life is more important? Don't forget your responsibilities."
Wang Ju sighed, "Responsibility."
For the sake of responsibility, he did have to lose weight, and the imperial physician also told him to pay attention to his diet.
In a blink of an eye, the eldest grandson of the Wen family left Beijing for business. After the eldest grandson of the Wen family left Beijing, the Wen family never troubled the Zhou family again, and they were no longer so confrontational.
This day was the day of the Qi family's banquet. Zhulan brought Li to the banquet. They arrived neither early nor late, as the Qi family's in-laws arrived first.
When Zhulan met the Wen family's eldest daughter-in-law, Qi, her smile was stiff, but she still greeted her.
The old lady of the Qi family said, "Madam Zhou, please sit over here."
Zhulan looked at the seat next to the old lady of the Qi family and sat over with a smile, "How is the old lady these days?"
The old lady of the Qi family felt very upset. She was very upset. The little grandson left. “Yeah.”
She originally planned to make things difficult for Yang, but Yang sent the invitation back, which scared her. She and her daughter-in-law guessed that the Zhou Marquis's family would not give up and might attack their grandson, so they sent the invitation back to maintain superficial kindness.
Zhulan also smiled at the old lady. The more Zhulan smiled, the more uneasy the old lady felt. She knew why she held the banquet today. It was also for Yang. Now she had no other thoughts. At least the Qi family had to endure it until her grandson arrived at his destination safely.
Qi was holding a handkerchief under the table. The Zhou family was so cruel.
The garden has been very awkward since Zhulan came. If Zhulan wasn't embarrassed, she would have said she wouldn't come, but the Qi family still invited her. Anyway, she wasn't the one who was feeling suffocated.
When almost everyone had arrived, Zhulan discovered that most of the people she knew were not invited. If nothing had happened, she would have been besieged today.
Zhulan smiled and said, "Some of them look quite unfamiliar."
The old lady of the Qi family regretted it so much. If nothing happened, Yang would not be able to leave peacefully today. Now she was the one who felt aggrieved. "Some of them just came to Beijing, so they were unfamiliar to the lady."
"oh."
The old lady is lucky, but also with a smile, angry.
At Zhou's house, Minghui had fallen asleep again with a book covering his head. Mingjing and her sisters came over and Mingjing called out, "Brother, brother."
Minghui rubbed his ears and said, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you I wanted to sleep?"
Yuyi has already picked up the book, "Brother asked you to read, but you went to sleep as soon as brother left."
Minghui asked lazily, "Why are you here?"
Yudie took out a box and said, "Didn't you say you liked my pen washer? I brought it to you."
Minghui sat up excitedly, "Are you really giving it to me?"
This was given to Sister Yudie by Young Master Liu. He liked it but never asked for it. He knew his limits.
Yudie also likes it, "Well, I'll give it to you."
Ming Hu calmed down after being excited, "I can't accept it, this is a gift from your future brother-in-law, Sister Yudie, I saved my third brother willingly, and the second branch really doesn't owe me anything. If you do this again, I will be angry."
Yudie held the brush washer and said, "It hurts to see you lying there unable to move."
Minghui rolled his eyes and said, "If you really feel uncomfortable, please help me write big characters and copy my handwriting."
Yudie glared, "Don't even think about it."
Minghui lay back down, "Hey, these days I have to read and write even when I'm lying down, big brother is too cruel."
Yuyi sat down, "Don't act pitiful, big brother is also worried that you will fall behind in your studies."
Minghui would rather be lazy, "I'm really not in a hurry to take the exam. I've already made plans. It won't be too late to take the exam when I'm 20."
Ming Jing's eyes lit up, "I, I'll take the exam again on the 25th."
Minghui hit his brother's head, "Don't even think about it."
Yuyi is not strict with Minghui and Mingjing. After all, they are lucky to have older brothers above them. They have less responsibilities and can live more freely.
Mingjing covered her forehead and glared at her brother angrily.
Yuyi rubbed her brother's forehead, "Don't hit his head in the future. What if Mingjing uses his head as an excuse to stop studying?"
Ming Jing was quite happy when he first heard it, but he opened his mouth after hearing it. Ever since he knew that he had a good memory, his life has been difficult and he also wanted to be lazy!
Before noon, Zhulan left Qi's house. She didn't want to continue the awkward conversation. When she came out of Qi's house, Zhulan saw Jiang An on the street. This time she didn't ask him to stop the car. Her eyes fell on Jiang An's clothes.
Li saw her mother-in-law staring outside for a long time without moving, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Zhu Lan retracted her gaze, thinking, "Go to the Ministry of Rites."
Li was puzzled, so she asked the driver to go to the Ministry of Rites instead.
Chang Yi heard his mother coming to see him, so he hurried out and saw his mother standing next to the carriage. "Mom, what do you want to talk to your son about?"
Didn’t mother go to Qi’s house today
Zhulan motioned Changyi to the side, then whispered, "I saw Jiang An on the street."
"This kid is finally back? That's not right. If you saw him, why did you come to the Ministry of Rites to look for your son?"
Zhulan talked about the clothes Jiang An was wearing, "The last time I saw him was probably Jiang An. He never sent a letter when he came back, and I've been thinking about him all the time."
"Mom, do you want me to go to the embassy and test it out?"
Zhu Lan raised her hand, "I didn't think it through. There must be a reason why he didn't send a letter. Let's go and find out what if something bad happens. Just pretend I've never been here. Jiang An will send a letter sooner or later. I'll go back first."
When Chang Yi heard this, he let his mother say everything she could. What she said was right, but he just kept it in mind.
