Boss Zhou pinched his wife's fat face, and the simple man became smart. He sighed in his heart that the change in environment forced them to become smarter. Boss Zhou hugged Li, who had practiced a lot behind the scenes in order to learn the rules and bring shame to the Zhou family.
The next morning, Zhou Laoer stood outside, "Mom."
Zhulan said, "Come in."
There is a screen in the room, and these past two days, she has been meeting the bosses through the screen.
Zhou Laoer walked in, "Mom, are you feeling better?"
Zhulan sat up and said, "Much better. What brings you here today?"
Because I was in confinement, the eldest brothers only came in when there was something important.
Zhou Laoer, "Mom, I have some money in my hand. I think it is better to buy a shop than to keep it. I want to go to the capital to buy a shop and come back tomorrow."
Zhulan couldn't see Zhou Laoer's face through the screen, but she could guess what he was thinking. With the birth of the child, Zhou Laoer was the one who felt the most crisis.
Zhou Lao Da is the eldest son, and Mingyun is the eldest grandson. Mingyun is eleven years old now. As the eldest grandson of the eldest son, his status among the descendants of the Zhou family is definitely stable.
As for the third house, Chang Lian is taking the imperial examination. He has the guidance of Zhou Shuren, the instruction of Meng Juren, and his brother-in-law Jiang Ming. In addition, with the resources brought by the third son of the Zhou family, Chang Lian is not a fool and has a good future.
Not to mention Changzhi, the most important thing is purity. As long as someone paves the way, the future will be good.
Finally, there is the newborn, her and Zhou Shuren’s biological son. Even if the family is divided in the future, without mentioning the division of the family property, she can just say that with her and Zhou Shuren’s teaching, the youngest son doesn’t need to worry.
So the one who feels the least secure is Zhou Laoer. His son is still too young, and it will take too long to wait for Mingrui to grow up and become successful. Zhou Laoer wants to add to his own family fortune.
Zhulan did not object, "Mother supports you to exchange the silver for a shop, but now is not the right time. If you want to buy a shop, you have to wait a little longer."
At least she would wait until the storm calmed down before buying. Now, if she went to Beijing to buy a shop, she wouldn't have to think about it, she would definitely buy the best shop at the lowest price.
Zhou Laoer was stunned for a moment, "Mom, this is not the right time?"
He knew that many people were trying to please their father recently, but he was going to the capital.
Zhulan, "Mom, let me tell you something. Things haven't been peaceful lately."
Zhou Laoer broke out in a cold sweat, it seemed that he was not only uneasy, but also in danger. "Mom, I know, I was not thoughtful enough."
Zhulan was not obedient to the second brother because the second brother had no contact with these things and he was not like Changlian who had Mr. Meng to teach him.
Not long after Zhou Laoer left, Xuemei came over and said, "Mom."
Zhulan, "Why are you here? Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go shopping again today?"
Xue Han smiled and replied on behalf of her sister, "Mom, my elder sister was scared and came back."
Zhulan, "How did you get back down?"
Xuemei said, "Mother, my sister and I went to the jewelry store to have a look. We had just entered for a while when we ran into the official's wife. She was so enthusiastic towards me that I got panicked and came back."
Really, she was almost praised as a fairy. Her face turned red when she heard it. Her appearance was indeed okay, but she was not really a beauty.
Thinking of this, Xuemei couldn't help but look at her sister. Her sister was very steady from beginning to end, listening with a smile. Even if she didn't know the person, she would still leave politely when she left. She was very well behaved.
Zhulan smiled and said, "You'll get used to it."
Xue Han was the same as Xue Mei at first, but later she got used to it. However, these people kept a close eye on the Zhou family, even Xue Mei knew about it. It seemed that the prince's fate had completely confused people's hearts.
Xuemei shook her head and said, "I won't go out tomorrow. I'll stay at home with mom."
She was not like her sister. She had not learned many rules. She did not want to bring shame to the Zhou family, and she was even more afraid of bringing trouble to the Zhou family. Especially after listening to her sister's explanation, she realized more deeply that although her father had a glorious life, there were countless traps behind the glory. Her parents had a hard life already, and she could not add to the trouble.
Xuemei even regretted coming at this time, but she was worried about her mother giving birth. Xuemei pursed her lips. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't bear to leave her parents whom she hadn't seen for many years.
Seeing Xuemei hesitate to speak, Zhulan held her hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay with your mother for a while. It's a good opportunity for Jiang Miao and your sister to learn some etiquette. By the way, your father is really busy and has no time. Your father wants Jiang Sheng and Qingming to follow Changlian to Mr. Meng's courtyard tomorrow. Mr. Meng is your father's guest and he is quite capable."
Mr. Meng agreed for ten years. Zhulan's family left Lizhou, and Mr. Meng also came to Jinzhou City. This time, Mr. Meng did not need to buy a house, and also lived in Zhou's house, in a separate courtyard.
Zhou Shuren has been too busy recently, so Shi Qing's teaching has stopped. Currently, Shi Qing is studying with Mr. Meng.
Xuemei was very surprised. She had been here for two days, and her younger sister had told her everything she needed to know. She knew that Mr. Meng was her third brother's teacher, and that he was someone her father favored. If she could get Mr. Meng's guidance, it would definitely be of great help to her husband. "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Zhulan smiled and said, "You are so polite to your parents, kid."
Xuemei felt warm in her heart. Her parents were doing this for her. "Mom."
