At the gate of Marquis Zhou's mansion, Yu Yueyang dismounted and walked to the carriage. He wanted to reach out his hand several times to help his fiancée get off the carriage, but he held back in the end.
Yuyi got off the carriage, "Thank you for bringing me back."
Yu Yueyang didn't dare to look directly into Yuyi's eyes, his eyes were a little wandering, "We don't need to say thank you."
"Then take care, sir?"
Yu Yueyang, "Oh, okay."
Yu Yi's eyes were smiling, what a simple man, she turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Yu Yueyang came back to his senses in shock, took a few quick steps and took the box from the servant, "This is what my mother asked me to give you."
Yuyi turned around, "Aunt?"
Yu Yueyang blushed, "No, I, I think it suits you."
Yuyi curled her lips and said, "Thank my aunt for me."
Yu Yueyang was dumbfounded. How could he thank his mother? Shouldn't he thank him? When Yuyi entered the mansion, he couldn't help but slap himself. He obviously thought it was suitable for Yuyi.
Yuyi returned to her yard. Yujiao was surprised to see the box in her sister's hand, "Sister, what gift did you buy for me?"
Yuyi dodged her sister's hand and said, "This was given to me by Yu Yueyang's mother."
Yu Jiao was surprised, "Sister, how did you meet?"
Yuyi told the story and the box was opened while she was talking. Inside was an orchid hairpin with crystal clear petals, which was very valuable. She asked where Yu Yueyang went on the way and it turned out that he went to buy a hairpin.
Yujiao liked her at first sight, "Sister, your future mother-in-law is very kind to you."
This hairpin is obviously worth a lot of money.
Yuyi didn't explain. She closed the box and tapped her sister's nose. "Wait for me to go to the jewelry store and buy you one."
Yu Jiao smiled happily, "Thank you, sister."
Yuyi has a lot of money given by her mother for spending, and the money for buying jewelry also comes from this money. She manages the money well and doesn't spend it lavishly, so she always has some money left over after a year.
In the main courtyard, Zhulan also knew that Yu Yueyang had sent Yuyi back. Zhao was also there. Zhao said, "Second Master Yu is very concerned about Yuyi. My sister-in-law can rest assured."
Zhulan, "Yuanbo and Yueyang are both good kids."
Zhao was very satisfied with her future son-in-law, "Mother has good taste."
"These two marriages are not my choice."
The Liu family is in charge of sales, and the Yu family is led by the emperor.
Zhao, "If you don't accept it, it won't work, so you have good vision."
"Your mouth, by the way, did Yu Shuang give birth to you?"
Zhao wanted to go over, "Yushuang said I don't need to go over, my mother-in-law is here, she and the child are doing well."
"Hu's is good."
Zhao agreed, "Mother-in-law is indeed a good person. Liu Feng doesn't have time to take care of Yu Shuang, so mother-in-law Quan Ping will take good care of her."
Zhu Lan spoke for Liu Feng, "It's not easy for Liu Feng either. He does everything for the people. I heard from Chang Yi that Liu Feng even went to open up wasteland himself, which is physically demanding work."
"My husband said Liu Feng is a resilient person, but this child works too hard."
"Ah, it's all because of poverty. It's good for Liu Feng to fight when he's young, but when he gets older, he won't have the energy to fight anymore."
Zhao was worried. "Mom, you don't know how poor we are. People want to raise chickens but there are no chicks. There are only a few chickens in the whole village. In the spring, people not only pick wild vegetables, but also dig up grass roots to store. My mother-in-law said that the children and adults are so thin that they are just skin and bones."
Zhulan felt unhappy, "By the way, Yushuang is not the medicine girl who cultivates and prepares medicinal materials. How is she now?"
"It's very good. Now we not only teach the children taken in by the manor, but also ask the children from nearby villages who want to learn. The manor is very lively every day. When the herbs are ripe, they will be given to the children to prepare the medicinal materials."
"Okay, okay, when are you going to send something to Yu Shuang? I have prepared some food for her."
Zhao, "Changyi sent someone to collect some dried fish and seaweed. It will take a few days for them to arrive in the capital. They should be delivered to Yushuang in four days at least."
Zhulan took note, "You two have been very concerned about Yushuang."
Zhao, "It's only natural to worry about your own children."
Zhulan lamented that if Liu Feng had not married Yu Shuang, Liu Feng would have had a hard time in the local area. After he married Yu Shuang, Chang Yi and his wife gave him so much help. Without Chang Yi and his wife, Liu Feng's medicinal herb cultivation would not have been so smooth.
Time passed quickly, and the Wang family came to announce the good news that Yu Lu was pregnant again. Zhu Lan asked Li to send a lot of good things over. Li came back with a smile on her face, "Mother, the old lady held my hand tightly and kept saying that Yu Lu was blessed. What a guy, she gave Yu Lu a lot of good things in front of me."
"The Wang family has few descendants. Yu Lu is pregnant again, and the Wang family treasures her very much."
Li, "Yes, the old lady also said that she would give 20% of her private money to Yu Lu. You didn't see the faces of the other two branches of the Wang family. They were very ugly."
"That's the Wang family's business. Don't say too much. Yu Lu should be more low-key when she's pregnant again."
Mrs. Li, "Mother, Yu Lu is not proud of being pregnant again. She is still the same as before."
"That's good."
The next morning, Wang Ju was smiling like Maitreya Buddha, her eyes almost disappeared from laughing. She finally waited until the end of the court and ran over happily, "I'm going to have a great-grandson again."
Zhou Shuren, "... ... I already announced the good news yesterday."
Wang Ju said excitedly, "I'm so happy. Wang Wei and his wife are only so young. They still have a lot of time to grow. If they can have two children every three years, the Wang family won't have to worry about having too few children anymore."
Zhou Shuren's face darkened. "What do you think of my granddaughter? Pah, it's harmful for a woman to get pregnant and give birth to a child, and having two in three years is a loss. I'm telling you, if you don't respect my granddaughter, don't blame me for turning hostile."
Wang Ju touched his nose and said, "I am just a metaphor."
"Oh, what metaphor? It's all your own thinking. Giving birth repeatedly to a woman will damage her foundation and affect her life span. She needs to be well cared for for at least a few years after giving birth."
Wang Ju really didn't understand this and was completely bewildered. It was difficult for women in the Wang family to get pregnant and they had never encountered such a situation before. "Is there such a saying?"
Zhou Shuren, "!!"
Forget it, it’s normal for the Wang family’s descendants to have difficulties and not understand.
Wang Ju saw Zhou Shuren ignoring him and walking away quickly, so he hurried to catch up with him, "I heard that your eldest granddaughter is also pregnant. Do you think that the sisters will both be sons like the first one?"
Zhou Shuren, "I think girls are good too."
Wang Ju said cheerfully, "Yes, a daughter is also good. My family is in need of a legitimate daughter."
Well, because of Wang Ju’s bragging, everyone knows that the granddaughter of Marquis Zhou is easy to give birth to, and everyone knows that it is difficult for the Wang family to have children. For a while, the saying of a woman who can bring good luck to her husband was brought up again.
The Liu and Yu families were very happy to hear this, especially Lord Liu, who felt particularly proud. His son was able to get engaged to the girl from the Zhou family because he, as a father, was able to market his son.
Chang Zhi sneezed several times in the Hanlin Academy and always felt like someone was talking about him.
In the afternoon, at the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren doubted his ears, "Who do you say wants to see me?"
