Yao Zheyu stood up. He didn't expect Lord Zhou to see him out. Looking at Lord Zhou who left after speaking, Yao Zheyu was silent. Lord Zhou was really a member of the Gu family. His weaknesses were obvious, but what could he do even if he knew them all? He didn't dare to reach out rashly without certainty.
Xue Han came back from Wang's house and looked at the carriage mark at the door. This was Master Yao's carriage. Xue Han walked into the yard and got off the carriage. After walking a few steps, she saw Butler Ding and Master Yao.
Xue Han thought it was a coincidence. As an engaged girl, she lowered her head and said, "Prince."
Yao Zheyu paused, "Ms. Zhou."
Xue Han greeted them, stood up and took a few steps back, then quickly went to the backyard with Liuli and Liujin.
Yao Zheyu paused, retracted his gaze, and left Zhou's house. After getting on the carriage, Yao Zheyu closed his eyes, then opened them again and looked at his clothes, all in black. Ha, Miss Zhou was in green. What a lucky person. He closed his eyes again, and couldn't help but think of Miss Zhou with a smile on her lips. He suddenly opened his eyes with pupils constricted. It was just a few appearances, but he seemed to be paying too much attention.
At the Zhou Mansion, Xue Han arrived at the main courtyard, "Dad and Mom, I'm back."
Seeing Liuli holding a gift box, Zhulan said speechlessly, "What did the county lady give you?"
Xue Han didn't know how she caught the eye of the future fourth sister-in-law. She often asked her to go to the Wang Mansion to accompany her and gave her some jewelry from time to time. If she didn't want them, the future fourth sister-in-law would find all kinds of reasons to get her to do it.
Xue Han opened the box and said helplessly, "Mom, this is a set of pearl headwear that the county lady wore when she was fourteen."
Zhulan stared at the pearls on her head. The pearls were quite large. "They are too precious."
Xue Han's face turned red. Her future fourth sister-in-law said it was her dowry. "I also said it was too expensive, but the county lady said it was not expensive. The whole set of head ornaments, the largest ones were worth a lot of silver, and the other small pearls were bought, but they were not worth much silver."
Zhou Shuren, who was sitting nearby, interrupted, "A few large pearls, caught by the county lady's fishing boat?"
Xue Han nodded, "Yes, the county lady said that sometimes they can be salvaged, although it's rare, but if you accumulate them for a few years, you will have a few, but private trading is not allowed."
Zhou Shuren stopped talking and continued to tease his younger son who kept looking outside.
Zhulan liked the headgear, and after careful calculation, she realized that the county lady was really generous. She had given Xuehan a lot of things in the recent period, from daily necessities to jewelry. Zhulan didn't care about the county lady's family background, but she couldn't help but calculate how much money the county lady had in her hands, "Your fourth brother is really blessed."
Xue Han couldn't help but giggle. Today, she accompanied her future fourth sister-in-law to practice calligraphy for a while. Well, they didn't write together, but her future fourth sister-in-law wrote and she sat on the side watching. Don't mention how resentful the county lady was. The most annoying thing was that after her fourth brother knew that she often went to Wang's house, he asked her to tell her future fourth sister-in-law to write ten big characters every day, and bring them to him to see when she was done.
She remembered that after she finished speaking, the county lady's face turned green.
Xue Han stood up and stopped disturbing her parents. "Dad, Mom, I still need to send the county lady's calligraphy to my fourth brother. I'll be home now."
Zhulan couldn't help laughing out loud. After her daughter left, she said to Zhou Shuren, "Fortunately, the county lady is steadfast in her love for Changzhi, otherwise, Changzhi would have ruined his marriage sooner or later."
Zhou Shuren was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes. He didn't know what to say. "You should be thankful that this kid didn't send the Buddha's message over. Let the county lady copy more Jingxin."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
This boy is so bold, she has to control him. She can't let Chang Zhi lose her daughter-in-law who she finally likes.
Zhu Lan said quietly, "If I had known, I would have gotten married earlier."
She no longer had to worry about Chang Zhi's shocking behavior. As for after the marriage, Chang Zhi and the county lord could do whatever they wanted. After all, they were already married and would not divorce easily.
In Changzhi's yard, Changzhi was practicing calligraphy with excited eyes. Xuehan came in and saw the infatuated fourth brother. Looking at the many large characters on the table, Xuehan asked Qimo, "How long have you been writing?"
Qi Mo really admired his young master, "He never stopped after breakfast."
Xue Han was speechless. Fortunately, her family was well-off, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to afford Fourth Brother's use of paper. Looking at the stack of written papers, she was not afraid of interrupting Fourth Brother, "Fourth Brother, stop writing."
Changzhi didn't hear and continued writing. Xuehan calmly walked over and took the paper, "Stop writing."
Changzhi was not angry. He looked up and said in confusion, "I just wrote for a while. Why are you back?"
"It's not even a moment yet. Look at the hourglass and see what time it is."
Changzhi took a look and exclaimed, "It took me so long to write this."
As he said this, he put down the pen in his hand and handed it to Qi Mo. Qi Mo washed the brush and he washed his hands.
Changzhi saw the box in his little sister's hand and asked, "Su Xuan's handwriting?"
Xue Han smiled and said, "Yes."
She likes Fourth Brother like this and never says anything bad about the County Princess. What Fourth Brother values is Sister Su Xuan as a person, not Sister Su Xuan's one-sided kindness.
Chang Zhi looked at the words, his brows knitted into knots, and he spoke venomously, "You really haven't made any progress at all. The words are so soft and limp like insects crawling. Look at what's written, it's too ugly."
Xue Han, “… .”
She felt that her fourth brother and his wife would definitely fight in the future. Given her mother's love for his wife, and looking at her fourth brother's small body, Xue Han sighed and patted her brother's shoulder.
Chang Zhi was angry and felt that Su Xuan was fooling him. "What's wrong?"
Xue Han, "I just want Fourth Brother to control his mouth after he gets married and not be impulsive."
Zhou Changzhi, "Ah?"
Qi Mo lowered his head, his shoulders trembling, he wanted to laugh.
In the main courtyard, Zhou Shuren coaxed his youngest son to sleep after playing for a while, and said to Zhulan who was sewing nearby, "I have some guesses about the Xu family."
Zhulan put down what she made for Zhou Shuren and asked, "How did you guess that?"
