Zhulan stood there for a while, and only spoke after Rongchuan finished writing. This child was so focused on writing. "It's well written. Can you give it to me?"
Rongchuan was admiring the calligraphy and was startled by the voice. Then he noticed his aunt beside him, "Aunt, when did you come?"
Zhulan picked up the paper. She had practiced calligraphy a lot. Her writing was not very good, but just average. If her modern grandfather saw this calligraphy, he would be very happy. "I've been here for a while. I saw that you were writing seriously and I didn't have the heart to call you. I'll take this calligraphy away."
Rong Chuan was a little embarrassed, "As long as Auntie likes it, it's just that my writing is not particularly good."
He was still not satisfied.
Zhulan: "...it's already very good."
This kid is definitely a genius in modern times!
Rong Chuan said embarrassedly: "I have only practiced this calligraphy for a short time, and there are still many places where my writing is not natural."
Zhulan couldn't see it, so she put down the paper in her hand and took the calligraphy from Mrs. Song's hand, "This is for you, your uncle's new calligraphy."
Rongchuan took it with surprise and flipped through it quickly, then he felt embarrassed. He had heard Changzhi say that his uncle had got the copybook, and Changzhi had been talking about it for a long time. If he had not been afraid of his uncle, he would have wanted to steal it. Now it was his. Rongchuan could imagine that after Changzhi knew about it, the copybook would not be kept.
Afterwards, Rongchuan felt warm in his heart, "Aunt, no one has ridiculed me recently."
He exchanged a lot of things for other things, and he knew that this was his aunt's way of protecting him.
Zhulan smiled and said, "I know, but I heard that you took leave for calligraphy. I brought it to you because I have something new at home."
Rongchuan couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Song. Nothing at home could be hidden from this woman. "Thank you, auntie. I will study hard."
"You also need to combine work and rest, and don't overwork yourself."
"Um."
Zhulan was worried that her son would wake up soon, "I'll go home first."
"I'll take my aunt home."
Zhulan returned to the yard and found her son had woken up and was crying. Zhulan held her son and coaxed him for a while before he stopped crying. This child was the most attached to her.
It was Zhulan who gave Rongchuan the calligraphy personally. This is no secret. Although the other rooms would not inquire about Zhulan's news, they would still pay attention to her movements.
First House, Li was used to it. Mother had always been very good to Rongchuan. Li just let it go and focused on choosing clothes to wear tomorrow.
The second wife didn't care at all, and Zhao's heart and eyes were filled with her little girl.
The only ones he cared about were the third room and Changzhi. When Changzhi got the letter, he went straight to kill them.
After hearing this, Mrs. Dong, the third roommate, sighed in her heart, "Mother-in-law really dotes on Rongchuan. She gave the calligraphy that my father-in-law wouldn't let my husband touch directly to Rongchuan."
After hearing this, Dong Lin couldn't eat her lunch, even though the dishes on the table were all her favorites. Dong Lin looked at her eldest grandson who lowered his head even more, and felt even more upset.
Mrs. Dong didn't notice her mother's expression and continued to sigh, "My father-in-law praised Rongchuan, and even my husband praised him!"
The chopsticks in Dong Liao's hand fell, and Dong Shi noticed it, "What happened?"
When Dong Lin saw that she could no longer conceal the truth, she signaled the maid to leave and told her what happened in the morning. Seeing her daughter's face turn pale, Dong Lin felt even more upset. "That's what happened."
Dong Liao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Grandma, did you and Grandma Yang hear this together?"
Seeing her grandson's frightened look, Dong Lin felt distressed. "Go and apologize to Rong Chuan later. We will be back in a few days."
Mrs. Dong had recovered from her shock. She was so angry that she held her handkerchief tightly. She understood that the boy wanted to stay. Everyone has ambitions, but one should not be so stupid as to offend others and think that he was bullying the easy ones. There was no one in the entire Zhou family who was easy to bully.
Dong was pregnant and had an irritable temper. Chang Lian protected and doted on her, and her mother-in-law was sensible. Dong had never been bullied before. Today she was very angry. She was worried about how she would live her life in the future. She saw how much her younger sister was doted on and how much Rongchuan was loved by his parents. Dong thought about the time when she would be punished by her mother-in-law again. She glared at Dong Liao and couldn't help but slammed the table in anger.
Dong Lin was shocked. "You are still pregnant, calm down."
Mrs. Dong was so angry. She was already under a lot of pressure with her fourth brother's wife, and her own nephew was holding her back. Mrs. Dong thought of her second sister-in-law. Although her mother still treated her equally, she could see clearly that her mother was not sincere to her second sister-in-law. "Mother, you should talk to father and take good care of the family."
After seeing Dong Liao's reaction, she no longer expected anyone from the Dong family to support her. She just hoped that they would not cause any trouble for her.
Dong Lin's expression froze. Why was she unwilling to go to her eldest daughter's house? Not only because her eldest daughter was marrying for the second time, but also because her eldest daughter's status was higher than hers. Even if she respected her, sometimes her unintentional actions made her uncomfortable.
She really loves her younger daughter, but the younger daughter looked too much like the older daughter just now. She then looked at the younger daughter carefully and realized that she was not only the wife of a scholar, but also the third wife of the Zhou family. Her future son-in-law's career was guaranteed. The younger daughter might even be granted an imperial title in the future. She no longer had to rely on her family. Instead, it was the Dong family that needed her.
Dong Lin sighed inwardly, "I know."
After Zhulan coaxed the child to sleep after dinner, she found out that Dong Liao had gone to apologize, and that Dong Lin had spent money to buy calligraphy and paintings to apologize, and that she had bled.
Zhulan did not wait for Mrs. Dong, and this was Mrs. Dong's cleverness. She said it was a matter between the two children, and now it was up to the two children to solve it themselves.
The next day, Zhulan accompanied Dong Lin to the temple as planned, but after yesterday, the atmosphere had completely changed. Although they still communicated, they could no longer find the feeling of intimacy.
Dong Lin asked for a fortune. Zhulan didn't ask, but judging from her expression, it was definitely not a good fortune.
On the way back to the city, Dong Lin said, "I wanted to stay a little longer, but I miss my family so much that I plan to go back in three days."
Zhulan sincerely tried to persuade him to stay, "Stay a little longer, you just arrived a short time ago."
Dong Lin felt heavy-hearted when she thought of the signature. Her eldest grandson was already restless. For the sake of the Dong family, it would be better for him to go home. "No, Chuchu and the child are both fine. I have nothing to worry about."
It’s a pity that I missed the rare opportunity to maintain our relationship. When I get home, I don’t know how my master will get angry!
Zhulan was silent for a moment, "Then I won't stay any longer."
Dong Lin was surprised. Fortunately, her daughter would be able to go back next year, so she was not afraid of not seeing her. She would let her daughter go back to see her in the future. She would never come out again.
After returning home, Dong Lin said she was tired and went back to rest.
Zhulan coaxed him for a while, and then waited for Changlian to come back. Changlian came in and naturally took over the younger brother, "Mom, what do you want from me?"
Zhulan, "Your mother-in-law will be back in three days, you should get ready."
Chang Lian held his brother and sat down, "It's better to go back, so that Dong Liao won't be impetuous and lose his sense of propriety."
Today he and Shi Qing went to the library and heard even more, especially Dong Liao's flattering words, which made him so angry that he almost had a heart attack. The person Dong Liao was flattering was the young master of the Bai family, and the Bai family almost plotted against his sister!
