At Zhou Hou Mansion, Zhu Lan sent away the people who were asking for information. She could really guess, "It's said that the emperor is going to grant Yu Wen a marriage."
Li handed her mother-in-law a cup of tea and said, "It's obvious that Yuwen got the reward for nothing."
Zhulan took a sip of tea and said, "I need someone to believe me when I say this!"
But that's the fact. The emperor couldn't reward Linxi alone, so he rewarded them all together. It's really not that complicated.
Li laughed, "Yu Wen doesn't know the rumors outside yet."
"This girl won't care."
The most Buddhist girl she had ever seen.
With the explanation from Marquis Zhou's mansion, the rumors became less frequent, but those who were interested became more nervous, fearing that the emperor would really grant the marriage.
In the afternoon, Zhulan woke up and saw sisters Yuyi and Yujiao talking outside. "When did you two come here?"
Yuyi replied, "We just sat down for a while."
Zhulan knew that her granddaughters were filial. She knew from the melon seed shell that the two granddaughters had been here for a while. She walked over and sat down. "You sisters, come here together. Do you have something to ask grandma?"
Yuyi nodded, "Grandma, my three siblings and I want to go to Ningzhou to visit our parents."
Yu Jiao continued, "Dad and Mom went to Ningzhou, we are a little worried."
Zhulan had already had this idea, but now after hearing her granddaughter's words, she did not refute, "It's a long way to go."
Yuyi held the handkerchief tightly and said, "Grandma, I'm already engaged. We'll discuss the wedding date after I reach the age of 15. I want to spend some time with my parents before the wedding."
Dad can't come back. Just as grandma said, the journey is too long. She hasn't seen her parents for many years and she can't suppress the longing in her heart.
Zhulan saw Yuyi's eyes were red, and her granddaughter's words made her sad. Yuyi got married and Dong could come back, but Changlian still couldn't come back. "Okay, okay, grandma agreed."
Yuyi smiled, "Thank you, grandma."
Zhulan was worried about the three siblings, so after thinking it over, she said, "Minghui will go with you. I'll feel more at ease with Minghui around."
When you go out, you need someone to take responsibility. Minghui has experience in going out of Beijing, so he is very reliable.
Yuyi, "Will this trouble Brother Minghui?"
Zhulan smiled, "He can't wait to go out."
Yuyi also laughed. Minghui was indeed a playful kid. She felt more at ease. Brother Minghui was actually very stable.
Zhu Lan added: "You guys pack your luggage first, I'll arrange for guards, and we can leave after the palace examination is over."
The sisters Yuyi looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement, "Yes."
Zhulan waited for the Yuyi sisters to go out, and said to Qingxue, "The third brother and his wife also want a child."
Qingxue, "Third Master has no choice."
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "This time the family can be reunited. It's a pity that Chang Lian still can't come back to see his daughter off, nor can he come back to see me and his father."
Shuren didn't say anything, but he read Changlian's letter over and over again, missing his son.
The siblings from the third branch went to Ningzhou, and the other branches soon learned the news. Yudie and Yuwen were reluctant but also understood.
Minghui was very happy when he received the mission after returning from the academy. He had been well-behaved since he was beaten. This time, not only could he travel around, but he could also stay in Ningzhou for a while. This was a good job.
Boss Zhou knocked his son on the head and said, "You have to take good care of your sister and brother."
Minghui covered his forehead and said, "Dad, I will take good care of you."
Ming Teng spoke up for his brother, "Dad, Ming Hui is still very safe."
Boss Zhou sighed, "I'm afraid if something happens, I won't be able to explain to your Third Uncle. Your Third Uncle only has these three children, and each of them is a treasure."
Ming Teng thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange for four guards to follow. They have more or less been to the grassland with me."
He killed many people with his knife, and his murderous aura was intimidating.
Minghui heard it and said, "Second brother is still the best."
Ming Jing was unhappy, her mouth was full of tea, "I want to go too."
Li patted her youngest son's head mercilessly, "Don't think about it, just stay at home."
Mingjing looked at his father eagerly, but his father ignored him, which made him even angrier.
Second House, Changyi returned home to hear about this, and waited for his wife to come back from the storehouse and said, "The people around me have traveled with me all over the country, and have protected me many times in times of crisis. They are all good at fighting. I will select a few of them to send Yuyi and the others to Ningzhou."
Zhao, "Even if you don't mention it, I have to say it. It's worrying to see several children on the road."
Changyi was also worried. There were only three children in the third room. If the third brother said he didn't want to have another child, then he wouldn't. "Mom and Dad will also make arrangements. It's safer to have more people."
Zhao, "I just picked some materials for my sister-in-law in the warehouse, and it's just right for Yuyi and the others to take them over."
"Um."
In the fourth room, Changzhi looked at his quiet son while eating, "Do you want to go to Ningzhou?"
Mingjia put down his chopsticks and shook his head, "I don't think so, Dad. I have already made plans for this year."
Chang Zhi gestured to his son to eat and sighed in his heart. His son was a chatterbox when he was young, but he became quieter when he grew up. He liked to plan everything and strictly implement it. His son was more self-disciplined than him.
After dinner, Changzhi said to his wife, "Are we too few children in one family? I've lost the joy of being a father!"
Su Xuan rolled her eyes, "How much have you taken care of these two children? Now that they have grown up and have settled down, you feel regretful?"
Changzhi touched his nose and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my lady."
Su Xuan added, "Yuyi and the others are going to Ningzhou. I don't know how the first and second wives will arrange it. I want to cover the expenses for the children to travel back and forth."
Chang Zhi touched his purse. He didn't have much money in it, so he felt guilty. "Thank you, madam."
The day of result announcement came in a blink of an eye. Whether I could pass the palace examination depended on today.
Changzhong always acted like an elder. After breakfast, he went to Jiang's house to pick up his nephew and nephew's husband. As soon as he and Mingrui walked to the gate of the house, they saw Yuwen waiting at the door.
Changzhong, "... "
Yu Wen turned around when she heard footsteps, "Third sister and fourth sister have made an appointment with their fiancés. Yu Jiao is not interested in the list. Uncle, I want to go and take a look."
Mingrui, "???"
Is this really Sister Yuwen? It's surprising that she got up at this hour, and she's still checking the list
Changzhong was speechless. His mother and fourth sister-in-law were concerned about Mr. Gu, but this girl didn't react at all. It turned out that she was waiting here. "Yeah."
After getting on the carriage, Mingrui waved his hand in front of Yuwen, "Are you really awake?"
Yuwen, "..."
Changzhong laughed out loud, then felt sad. "Stay with me when the time comes."
Yuwen nodded, "Yeah."
Mingrui felt like he was being left out, "Uncle, you guys have a secret."
Changzhong didn't say anything, Yuwen spoke first, "I have a crush on a young man, and I want to go and see if he will go with someone else today."
Mingrui's pupils tightened and he turned to look at his uncle, "Is this true?"
Chang Zhong covered his face with his hands. "She followed me here, how could it be fake?"
Mingrui quickly returned to normal. The younger generation knew the story of Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle. "Why haven't I heard anything about it?"
Chang Zhong pointed at Yu Wen and said, "She doesn't care. If this girl didn't come with me today, I would have thought I was overthinking it."
Yu Wen said lazily, "I'm very disciplined."
Mingrui was too curious. His sister was lazy, but she had a strong presence at home and was the most distinctive one in the family. "Whose son is this?"
