In the evening, Minghui and Yuyi rested for a while and looked better. Yujiao finally stopped showing off and was sitting next to Zhulan acting coquettishly. "Grandma, my granddaughter misses you. Look at how thin she is." My face is all about grandma.”
Zhulan touched her granddaughter's face and said, "Grandma knows, my good granddaughter has suffered along the way."
Today's dinner was eaten by the whole family together, and the vegetarian dishes were delicious and delicious.
Minghui and others already knew the news of their uncle's death, and they knew that they would not be able to come back even if they were not delayed.
Seeing that his children and grandchildren were all seated, Zhou Shuren picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat."
The whole family hadn't had a meal together for a long time. At the dinner table, Zhou Shuren didn't ask about Minghui's water thief, but was concerned about his grandson's health. Mr. Zhou and others interjected from time to time.
After the meal, Zhou Shuren did not leave his grandson to talk, and asked his grandson and granddaughter to go back and have a good rest. They had worked hard all the way and needed a few days of good recovery.
When only the old couple were left, Zhou Shuren sat next to his wife and said, "When we first came here, there were only a few people in the house, but now we can't even sit at the three tables."
Zhulan, "Why are you suddenly feeling emotional?"
"After my fourth uncle passed away, I felt that time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it would be another Chinese New Year, another year."
Zhulan smiled, "Yes, it's another year, and Jade Butterfly is about to have her hair."
Zhou Shuren snorted coldly, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that Mr. Liu recently wanted to set a date for the marriage of his two children."
Zhulan didn’t want to marry her granddaughter so early, “We’ll talk about it later.”
Zhou Shuren said, "That's how I came back. My granddaughters will stay for a few more years."
A granddaughter can live a comfortable life until she is married, but once she is married, she cannot help herself. Think about the fact that the eldest granddaughter goes to work with her husband, and the second granddaughter is trapped in the back house of the Wang family. She is busy with endless things every day, and she has to respect her elders and take care of her husband and son. The second granddaughter is the most tiring.
In the Wang family, Wang Wei listened to his wife humming a song, "How happy are you that Minghui and the others are back?"
"When they come back, Mom doesn't have to worry. Mom has lost weight recently."
Wang Wei, "Bring more health supplements to my father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow."
Yulu responded, "Okay."
Wang Wei sounded apologetic, "I have to go on errands with the minister tomorrow, so I can't go back with you."
Yulu was happy that her husband paid attention to her, "I know you are busy, so you should take care of yourself while running errands."
Wang Wei didn't have the pressure of having an heir, and only had the calmness of being a legitimate eldest son. He looked sideways at his wife, "How about we have another daughter after two years?"
Yulu has been occupied with too much energy by her two sons, especially her younger son, who is used to being very naughty at home. She also wants a sweet-smelling daughter, but, "Does a daughter come just as she says? What if she still smells bad?" Where's the boy?"
Wang Wei suddenly had a headache when she thought of her youngest son's skin. The day before yesterday, he broke his beloved vase. Before he could say his harsh words, his grandma took the child away!
Yulu smiled when she saw her husband's depressed look.
Wang Wei also laughed. He really didn't expect that one day he would have so many headaches for his son. He was worried about heirs before he got married, and even secretly scared himself, deeply afraid that he would have no heirs. Who would have thought that just a few years after getting married, he would already have an heir? Second son.
The next day, Minghui went to the Rong'an Hou Mansion next door, and he accompanied Ming Teng to copy scriptures.
Yuyi and Yujiao came to the main courtyard. Zhulan looked at the expressions of her granddaughters and smiled, "It seems that they had a good rest last night."
Yu Yi smiled, "I feel relieved when I go home. We fell asleep soon after we got back and didn't get up until it was dawn outside."
Yujiao, "It's better to stay at home."
Zhulan motioned to Qingxue to get some fruits and tea, and said to the two granddaughters: "Grandma is curious about what you have seen along the way. Can you talk to grandma today?"
Yuyi really had a lot to say to her grandma, "Okay."
The fruit was quickly served. Yujiao picked up the apple and said, "It's hard to eat fresh fruit outside. I want to eat more."
Yu Yi said: "There are frozen pears and other frozen fruits outside, but I don't dare to let my sister eat more."
"This girl should be taken care of."
Yujiao hurriedly said: "I am very obedient now."
In the subsequent chat, Zhulan learned about the water thief's story, and then couldn't explain Mingteng's love fortune, but she was happy to go out, and her granddaughters learned a lot.
After a while, Yulu came back with her two children. Yudie and Yuwen heard the news and came to the main courtyard. The sisters chatted lively.
The sisters chatted about hairpins, and Yudie asked for a gift, "You must prepare gifts carefully."
Yulu chuckled lightly, "I've always remembered it and prepared it a long time ago."
Yuwen curled her lips and said, "Third sister, I'm ready too."
Yu Yili was happy, "What a coincidence, I was ready in Ningzhou."
Yujiao stretched out her hand, "And me, the gift I gave to Third Sister cost me a lot of money!"
Yudie was curious when she heard this, "What gifts have you prepared?"
The sisters kept silent. Yudie couldn't ask anything at first glance, but instead calculated, "After me and the hairpin, it's Yuyi, but it's Yuwen."
Yuwen's tone was very serious this time.
Yuwen stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back and adjourn the meeting first."
After leaving the house, Yuwen stretched out her hand and said, "It's snowing again."
The eldest girl said, "Miss, let's go back quickly. Don't get cold."
But Yuwen didn't want to go back to the yard, "Let's go to the garden for a walk."
Going down to the yamen, at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy, Zhuo Guyu said to Gu Sheng, "Are you short of money?"
Gu Sheng didn't like Zhuo Guyu, "This is my business."
Zhuo Guyu had a smile on his face, "I want a snow scene, but I haven't found anything I'm satisfied with after going to the painting studio several times. How about you sell me one?"
Gu Sheng felt the eyes of his colleagues looking at him and sneered in his heart. If he was really pedantic and cared about fame, he would have rejected everyone who asked for paintings when he entered the Hanlin Academy. "Okay, my paintings are not cheap."
Zhuo Guyu, "I can afford it."
Chang Yi paused deliberately just now, but now he nodded to Gu Sheng and walked towards his carriage.
Gu Sheng's carriage also arrived and he saw that it was his brother, "Brother, why are you here to pick me up today?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "My father-in-law sent half a sheep over. It's snowing today, so your sister-in-law made a pot of mutton stew. I'll pick you up and eat together."
Gu Sheng said, "I'm craving for mutton pot."
"Eat more and take good supplements today."
Gu Sheng did not sit in the carriage, but sat outside with his brother and left the Imperial Academy, because there were not many pedestrians on the snowy street, only carriages moving.
Gu Yan turned his head and looked at his younger brother. He was very content with his current life. What he missed most was his younger brother. He endured it and said, "Did I guess wrong last time?"
Gu Sheng reacted for a while and smiled without saying a word. Zhou Changzhong hadn't been to Gu's house for a long time. He hadn't seen Miss Zhou since the last time he said goodbye to the painting studio. But he met Mr. Zhou every day in the Hanlin Academy. That was enough. .
Gu Yan couldn't see through his younger brother more and more, and then he smiled and said that since he was a child, his younger brother was in charge, so he didn't have to worry too much.
In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan listened to Shuren's words, "Really?"
