After asking, Zhulan continued to look at the old lady of the Luo family. There was still something sick on her face. She was trying hard to stay awake, and her sitting posture was not as straight as before.
The old lady of the Luo family took a sip of juice and choked her throat. After her throat felt better, she replied, "Mrs. Lao, I'm worried about you. I'm fine now."
Her heart skipped a beat. Mrs. Zhou's question meant that the Zhou family had been keeping an eye on the Luo family. Thinking of this, her head hurt even more.
Zhulan, "When people get older, they are afraid of getting sick. You have to take good care of yourself."
Madam Luo felt cared for and breathed a sigh of relief. "I will take good care of myself when I return home this time. When I am well, I will live in the manor for a while."
Zhulan looked at Madam Luo and said, "It's good to cultivate your character."
Mrs. Luo finally smiled, "The environment in Zhuangzi is good, it is indeed suitable for self-cultivation."
She was about to be buried, and had worried about the Luo family all her life, so how could she not see Ji Rong's violent temper? She felt guilty towards the child and had not taught her cruelly until Ji Rong was punished and she knew that Ji Rong actually wanted to marry Mr. Zhou. She regretted that she should have taught Ji Rong well.
This incident also made her completely tired. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She is really tired. She wants to teach Ji Rong well in the remaining years and does not want this child to go astray.
Zhulan and Old Madam Luo had nothing to talk about. They were not friends and could not chat about family matters. Old Madam Luo was not well yet and left after staying for a while.
Zhulan said to Qingxue, "You have come to terms with it now."
Qingxue, "The Luo family is living a smooth life because of the care of the old lady. Now that the old lady has let go, they should know that life will be difficult."
The old lady of the Luo family is a good person with high emotional intelligence and good manners. She has helped the Luo family to deal with many problems. The master of the Luo family is accustomed to this kindness and does not cherish it. The Luo family will have a lot of fun in the future.
Zhu Lan added: "Ji Rong is lucky. There are still people who care about her and are willing to spend the rest of their lives to educate her."
Qingxue nodded, "It is indeed lucky."
The next day at the Wei family, Zhou Houfu invited Tao to be the matchmaker. The two families agreed and the marriage was discussed smoothly. Zhulan got Wei Xinyi's birth date and time and sent them to match the horoscopes.
I got the matched horoscopes that night, which indicated a good marriage.
The eldest son of Marquis Zhou went to the Wei family to propose marriage, and the news spread quickly. Many people were surprised, thinking that the Marquis Zhou’s family would take their time in considering the marriage, but they didn’t expect it to be so quick!
When the Luo family got the news, Lord Luo's eldest daughter-in-law sneered and went to Ji Rong's yard. Seeing Ji Rong copying scriptures, she sneered, "You don't have to worry about it. Zhou Houfu went to Lord Wei's house to propose marriage."
Ji Rong lowered her head and continued copying the scriptures, "I already know."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family was confused. Ji Rong mentioned that Mr. Zhou’s expression could not deceive people, so now he doesn’t care
Ji Rong continued to copy the scriptures until there was no one around her. She raised her head and her eyes were red. She was unwilling to accept it. It was obviously she who met Mr. Zhou first. What could she do if she was unwilling? She was going to Zhuangzi.
Old Madam Luo listened to the maid's report of Ji Rong's reaction and nodded with satisfaction. The girl had listened to her words yesterday. The future was still long, and she believed that there would be someone suitable for Ji Rong.
If possible, she would also like Ji Rong to have a good home, but unfortunately there is no possibility. Marquis Zhou and his wife are not simple people. There are many young ladies in the capital who are interested in Mr. Zhou, and Ji Rong is not the only one. Time is the best medicine, and it will be better if she leaves the capital.
Old Madam Luo signaled the maid to pack up the rest of the dowry. These were her most valuable possessions and she wanted to take them away. If she didn't, she couldn't give them to Ji Rong.
At Zhou Hou Mansion, the horoscopes were matched and sent to the Wei family, and the two families went through the subsequent procedures. The day when Zhou Shuren was on leave was a good day, so the two families chose this day to get engaged.
It was the Ministry of Revenue's holiday, and Zhou Shuren got up early to change into new clothes, which were couple outfits with Zhulan.
Chang Zhong came to the main courtyard and said, "Dad and Mom, your clothes today make you look particularly energetic."
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Your father and I are very happy because of the good news."
Changzhong's ears turned red, and he said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Mom and Dad."
Zhou Shuren, "Once you are engaged, you are an adult. You need to be more stable in the future."
Changzhong restrained his smile and said seriously: "Son will not let you down."
The Wei family is very lively today. Zhou Shuren and his wife came to visit, and Lord Wei and his wife greeted them at the door. Zhou Shuren and Lord Wei greeted each other with a smile, while Zhulan and Feng went to the backyard.
This time, Miss Wei saw Zhulan's cheeks blushing, which meant she was shy.
Zhu Lan took Wei Xinyi's hand and said, "Good boy, let me take a good look at you."
Wei Xinyi raised her head, "Old Madam."
Zhulan was already satisfied with Wei Xinyi, and she was even more satisfied when she saw the girl was so open and honest. "Come and chat with me more often in the future."
Wei Xinyi blushed and nodded, "Xinyi will definitely go there often."
Feng had been observing, and seeing that Madam Zhou really liked her daughter, the smile on her face became even brighter, "When the time comes, I'll go there more often, so please don't despise me."
Zhulan said cheerfully, "My daughters-in-law are all treasures. I can't spoil them enough."
Although Feng didn't have a mother-in-law, she knew the hardship of serving one. Her mother and grandmother were always at odds with each other, and her grandmother had troubled her mother a lot, so she hoped that her daughter would have a good mother-in-law. Everyone in the capital knew that Madam Zhou was a good mother-in-law, so her daughter was blessed.
In the study room in the front yard, Lord Wei asked Changzhong, and knowing that Changzhong did not go to the academy, he looked at Lord Zhou in confusion.
Zhou Shuren said: "He has been taught by Wu Ming and I since he was young. Wu Ming took him with him for a year a few years ago. He is currently studying at home."
When he didn't understand something, he asked him and Changzhi, and most of the time he stayed at home and rarely went to the academy.
Lord Wei was jealous. Marquis Zhou was really good at teaching his children to read. There were several people in Marquis Zhou's mansion who were second in the imperial examination. Wu Ming was also extraordinary. He had real political achievements on the grassland and was also the top scholar. With such resources, he really got an extraordinary son-in-law.
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "You can test him."
He knows his son's level best, otherwise he would not let his son arrange his own time.
Lord Wei's eyes lit up. The Marquis spoke and he just wanted to test him. "Okay."
Changzhong is not afraid, because there are too many academic geniuses in his family. His fourth brother has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years and has become more and more knowledgeable. He is confident.
In the end, it was proved that Changzhong was outstanding in both knowledge and vision. Lord Wei smiled with the corners of his mouth raised high and said three good words in a row.
The engagement went smoothly, tokens of love were exchanged, and Changzhong now had a fiancée.
The elders' words gave Changzhong and Wei Xinyi a chance to be alone. Changzhong looked left and right, and when he was sure that no one was following him, he took out a bracelet from his purse and said, "I heard that you like jade, so this jade bracelet is for you."
Wei Xinyi was surprised, "You also prepared a gift for me?"
Changzhong blinked, "Do you like it?"
Wei Xinyi's heart was filled with love. Who doesn't want to be remembered by the person they love? At this moment, she felt the happiness of the Zhou family's daughter-in-law. "I like it, but I didn't prepare a gift."
Changzhong smiled, "Our engagement is the best gift."
Wei Xinyi opened her mouth slightly, "!!"
Ah, who can bear this!
