As the autumn harvest begins, the newspapers are filled with news related to the autumn harvest, reporting on the yields of high-quality seeds grown in various places.
Autumn harvest means that Changzhong is going to get married, and Zhou Houfu has begun preparing for the wedding. As the wedding day draws closer, the mansion is filled with joy.
Changzhong moved from his yard to the study in the front yard, and could only move back in after the yard was renovated and he got married.
Zhulan personally arranged the marriage for her youngest son, with Li helping her.
That evening, Zhou Shuren came back and saw his wife holding a list. He looked closer and saw that it was the wedding banquet menu. "Have you decided on the menu?"
"came back."
Then he sat up and said, "Well, it's settled. Can you take a look and give me some advice?"
Zhou Shuren was in no hurry to change into his official uniform. He picked up the menu and started reading it. "These are all dishes with good meanings."
"Yes, I hope Changzhong will be happy all his life."
She didn't know whether she would be able to see Changzhong having a group of daughters, so she could only wish her youngest son the best all the time.
Zhou Shuren put down the menu. "The menu is perfect. I have no objection."
He got up and changed into his official uniform, and when Zhou Shuren came out, dinner was already served.
Zhou Shuren sat down and asked, "What else has not been decided for Changzhong's wedding?"
Zhulan handed over the soup and said, "We still have some china for the wedding banquet that we haven't decided on yet."
Zhou Shuren asked, "All new ones?"
Zhulan nodded, "Yes, it will be sealed after the wedding banquet, and will be used after Changzhong's child gets married."
"You think far enough."
Zhulan motioned for all the maids in the room to leave, and when only the couple were left, Zhulan said, "I don't know how long I can live, I want to prepare more for the children while I'm still healthy. Changzhong means something different to us, so I can't help but think more about him."
Zhou Shuren was very worried about Zhulan. Zhulan's health was not as good as his. He held Zhulan's hand and said, "I support you in whatever you want to do."
Zhulan continued, "I want to use Changzhong's marriage to sort out the storehouse and give the corresponding shares to my sons, and then divide the family property among them in the future."
Zhou Shuren, "Will it be too hard?"
He knew how much stuff was stored in his own warehouse. There were too many things and it would be too time-consuming to reorganize them.
Zhulan had her own idea, "I'd better sort it out as soon as possible while I'm in good health so that it will be convenient in the future."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he changed the subject abruptly, "The third prince is getting engaged."
Zhulan followed Shuren's wishes and asked, "Did the emperor tell you?"
Zhou Shuren said: "Changzhong entered the palace today, and he saw the imperial decree granting the marriage."
Zhulan, "And then I told you?"
"Don't worry, Changzhong knows what to say and what not to say. The Third Prince and Miss Jiao have known everything they should know."
Zhu Lan suddenly said, "The Second Prince should be happy, the Third Prince's wife is from a lowly family."
Zhou Shuren, "I don't know whether he is happy or not. The Second Prince must be jealous of the Third Prince."
"Um?"
"Along with the imperial decree, a mansion was also awarded to the Third Prince."
Zhulan had long heard from Shuren about the Duke's Mansion's ownership, "The Third Prince is having a double blessing."
Zhou Shuren nodded, "The Emperor has already made the decision, but has not issued an order yet. Now the Third Prince is doing a good job in the garden construction, so it's a perfect opportunity for double happiness."
"It's probably meant to warn the Second Prince. If he does his job well, he'll be rewarded."
Zhou Shuren, "By the way, the Third Prince has a very good reputation in the Ministry of Works. The Minister of Works has often mentioned to me that the Third Prince is down-to-earth."
In obvious contrast is the Second Prince, who is so annoyed that the Minister of Rites is almost dying.
Zhulan said: "The Third Prince is not young anymore, and it won't be long before he gets engaged and married."
"Um."
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before Changzhong's wedding. The family had a reunion dinner. The Zhou family had a new baby, and the reunion dinner was full of joy.
Chang Yi smiled and said, "Tomorrow you will be married. I'd like to offer you a drink. You can drink tea instead of wine so that you don't drink too much tonight and miss the auspicious time tomorrow."
Chang Zhong's ears turned red, "Second brother."
Chang Yi laughed and said, "Come here, brother toasts you."
Changzhong didn't drink tea instead of wine. He could drink quite a lot. "Brother, please."
Boss Zhou didn't propose a toast, but signaled me to eat more, because I would be busy with a wedding banquet tomorrow and not have to think about having a good meal.
Chang Zhi said with a heartache, "You are just my brother. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even have three days of the five-day wedding leave."
Changzhong ignored his fourth brother's words. The Hanlin Academy had compiled several books, which were now being promoted nationwide. He thought he could take a break, but unfortunately his fourth brother wouldn't let him go!
Zhou Shuren glanced at Chang Zhi, and Chang Zhi shut his mouth.
The family finished their meal very late, and when only Zhulan and her husband were left in the main courtyard, they went to bed early in order to get up early the next day, but they were so excited about their son's marriage that they couldn't sleep.
Zhou Shuren said: "Fortunately it's a son."
Zhulan agreed, "Yes."
Changzhong has a different meaning. Fortunately, the gender is a son. If it were a daughter, they would be willing to marry her off!
The couple chatted for a long time and it was unknown how long it took before they fell into a drowsy sleep. Zhulan did not sleep well and she had a dream in a daze. The dream was bizarre, like a time tunnel. She wanted to see her surroundings clearly, but the scene around her was distorted.
Zhulan wanted to grab something, but then she heard Shuren's panicked voice. She opened her eyes and saw candles lit in the room. "I seem to have a nightmare."
Zhou Shuren's back was soaked. No matter how he called out, Zhulan couldn't wake up. "You scared me to death."
Zhulan was a little thirsty, "I want to drink some water."
Zhou Shuren then let go of his hand and went down to pour water. He handed a cup to Zhulan and drank several cups himself. The cold water suppressed his irritability. After confirming that Zhulan didn't want to drink anymore, he asked, "What did you dream about?"
Zhulan felt a headache. "I dreamt of many scenes, but I couldn't remember them when I tried to think carefully."
Zhou Shuren reached out and rubbed Zhulan's forehead, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhulan's brows relaxed, "Much better, I must have been too nervous about my son's marriage."
Zhou Shuren nodded, and after a while he saw his wife fell asleep again, so he didn't dare to sleep anymore.
It was not until dawn that Zhou Shuren dozed off for a while. When he heard the voice, he opened his eyes. Seeing that Zhulan looked okay, he felt relieved and said, "I'll get up too."
Zhulan didn't dream in the second half of the night, "You should sleep a little longer."
Zhou Shuren really needed to rest, "Call me when breakfast is ready."
"good."
Half an hour later, Zhulan and Shuren had breakfast and changed into festive clothes.
Today is Changzhong's wedding day. Changzhong first comes to the main courtyard to pay a visit to his parents, and then goes to welcome the bride when the time comes.
Marquis Zhou's youngest son is getting married. Today many people are waiting in the streets to watch the fun. The guests at Marquis Zhou's mansion are all of noble status.
Except for the Fourth Prince who came for Changzhong, the Second Prince and the Third Prince also arrived today.
Boss Zhou entertained the second prince and the third prince. The second prince was very dismissive of the third prince, while the third prince was indifferent.
Boss Zhou, "..."
The second prince said sarcastically, "Can you also teach your brother how to please our father?"
The Third Prince, "Read more, do more work, jump around less, and be less annoying!"
Boss Zhou, "!!"
Is the third prince so upright
