Zhulan sat next to Mrs. Tao, who covered her mouth with a fan and said in a low voice, "The prince is really outstanding."
Zhulan agreed. Putting aside her prejudice, the prince was very outstanding in both appearance and family background. Look, as soon as he showed up, all the unmarried ladies' eyes were on him.
Zhulan and others only stayed in the garden for a while. It was called a flower-viewing party, but to put it bluntly, it was just a disguised dating party. These unmarried men and women knew each other.
Xue Han and the county lord were both engaged, so they sat in the pavilion to avoid the crowd. But just after they sat down and talked for a while, someone came over.
The county lady looked up and saw that it was her cousin. "Cousin, why are you here?"
Master Wang smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you here? That's why I am here."
He is married, okay? If he wasn't the master, he would have run away long ago. Alas, this flower-viewing banquet is mainly prepared for his concubine's sister. However, it might be a waste of his mother's kindness. He really doesn't like his petty concubine's sister.
The county lady's eyes fell on Yao Zheyu. She felt sympathy for this poor prince. Although she had no father or mother, she lived a very comfortable life. She had property, money, and a title. The elders in the clan did not dare to say a word. The only problem she had was marriage.
Relatively speaking, the Crown Prince is really miserable. His mother died a long time ago and his father remarried immediately. It is said that the concubine in the Marquis's Mansion is also very powerful, and the illegitimate son is not simple either. Look at him dressed in black. He looks very miserable no matter how he is compared.
Yao Zheyu had a wooden face. He really didn't want to understand the county lady's thoughts. They were the same, so why did she sympathize with him? "County lady."
The county lady laughed dryly, "How come Prince Yao is here too?"
The tone was full of surprise. Shouldn't he be entangled by now
Xue Han picked up the fan to cover her mouth. The future fourth sister-in-law was really straightforward. Judging from the prince's clothes, Prince Yao was deceived. It was definitely not Master Wang. It must be someone else. The purpose was too obvious.
Yao Zheyu had an embarrassed look on his face, he was deceived and naturally had to hide, the wife he was looking for must be someone who could help him, no matter in terms of family background or personal ability, the young lady from Jinzhou was not within his consideration, their status was too different, marrying her would only bring him trouble.
As for those who offered themselves to him as concubines, what did they think of him? A lecher? They were too polite. He had only been in Jinzhou for a short time, and many women had been sent to him. He really wanted to learn from Lord Zhou, but tragically, he did not get married!
Master Wang did not want to offend Master Yao. Although they had no friendship, he was not afraid of Master Yao, but he had to be cautious. He glared at his cousin and said with a smile, "Since you have occupied the pavilion, we will find another place."
Su Xuan restrained herself and said with a smile, "Okay."
Master Wang said to Yao Zheyu, "This way, please."
Yao Zheyu nodded and smiled, "Okay."
Xue Han took off the fan only after seeing the people leave, and lowered her voice, "Sister County Master, it's too obvious that you're gloating over other people's misfortunes. Be careful that you will be held accountable."
Su Xuan had a deep understanding of this future sister-in-law. She suppressed the twitching of her lips and asked, "Is it obvious?"
Xue Han smiled and said, "Yeah, it's very obvious."
Su Xuan touched her face, and then couldn't help pinching her future sister-in-law's face, "How dare you say that to me? Weren't you also laughing just now?"
Xue Han was stunned. She pinched her face and glared at her. “At least I blocked it!”
The tone is particularly righteous.
Su Xuan laughed out loud, she found her future sister-in-law to be particularly interesting!
Yao Zheyu practiced martial arts and had sharp ears and eyes. Even if the two people behind him lowered their voices, he could still hear something. What's more, the county lord did not avoid any reservations in her last words. Yao Zheyu could not help but look back and was stunned. There was only one word in his mind: smiling like a flower. He stopped for a moment.
Master Wang didn't hear the footsteps following him, and when he turned around, he saw Yao Zheyu looking at the pavilion. Following his gaze, he saw his cousin bullying her future sister-in-law in the pavilion. Master Wang looked up at the sky in silence. She was bringing harm to someone before they even got married. However, Master Wang chuckled and thought that the Zhou family was really good!
Master Wang said, "Prince."
After the second shout, Master Wang saw that the prince had followed him. Master Wang narrowed his eyes. The prince was not looking back out of curiosity, but was he looking at someone? Forget about his own cousin, then it must be Miss Zhou.
Master Wang shook the folding fan in his hand. What a pity that the engagement was done so early. It was a great pity for many forces that Miss Zhou was engaged!
However, if there were still people who wanted to ruin the engagement in the past, they no longer dared to do so after experiencing the plot against Mr. Zhou Zhou and Lord Zhou’s reaction!
Zhulan took her daughter and left first. When they got on the carriage, Zhulan looked at her daughter and Xuehan smiled, "Mother, the illegitimate daughter of the Wang family is very good at choosing men. It's a pity that the illegitimate daughter of the Wang family is too tolerant. She didn't like the person chosen by Lord Wang, but fell in love with Prince Yao!"
Xue Han really watched a good show. She had a good relationship with the Wang family's legitimate daughter. After they became relatives, they were all engaged girls, and their friendship became even better. So today, she was angry about the Wang family's illegitimate daughter plotting against Wang Lei.
Zhu Lan said, "I was wondering why Mrs. Tao suddenly looked so unhappy. Today the Wang family is embarrassed, and Mrs. Tao is also embarrassed."
Mrs. Tao was a good person, at least she was not cruel. She treated her illegitimate daughter badly but she never deducted anything from her. Given her intelligence, she would definitely not make a fuss about the marriage. After what happened today, she was definitely furious.
Zhulan asked again, "What gift did your fourth brother give you?"
Xue Han laughed out loud, "Mom, you would never have thought that it was a calligraphy copybook, and the most difficult one to write. Although the county lady can read, she prefers to practice martial arts, and her handwriting is not good. Isn't this hurtful to my heart, Brother?"
Zhulan also laughed. It was indeed a stupid thing that Chang Zhineng did.
Xue Han couldn't help laughing, "I guess Sister County Master will definitely work hard on her calligraphy."
Bamboo orchid, "... "
It was really hard for the county lady. Fortunately, the birthday gift was given after the engagement! Otherwise, she was really afraid that Changzhi would ruin the marriage himself.
After returning home, Zhulan had been lying down for a while when her daughter came to share the news. Changzhi even had the nerve to ask County Lady Xuehan if she liked it!
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Dong Lin arrived at Zhou's house.
Mrs. Dong Lin was about to arrive, and she sent someone to notify her in advance. Zhulan knew the exact time and greeted her personally at the door.
Dong Lin did not come alone, but brought her eldest grandson with her. Zhu Lan welcomed Dong Lin into the main courtyard and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard on the journey. Come and sit down and have a rest."
Dong Lin looked much older than she had a few years ago. She was already quite old, and her face was pale from all the traveling. She was trying hard to stay energetic. She was very happy that her mother-in-law would meet her at the gate, which showed her importance to her and her daughter. "I am old now, and I have to admit that I am old."
