Zhou Shuren was secretly annoyed at his slow pace. He paused before turning around and asked, "Young Master?"
He wouldn't ask if there was anything else!
Yao Zhe was silent for a moment. So, if he wanted to say something to Lord Zhou, he should just say it directly. Otherwise, Lord Zhou would definitely play dumb and get away with it. "Sir, will you return to Jinzhou tomorrow?"
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and asked, "Where did you hear this news?"
He only told the people in the mansion about his return!
Yao Zheyu pointed at the gift box and said, "I guessed that the master bought the gift today and should be planning to return it tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the servants in the mansion had spies. Fortunately, "Ah, they will be back tomorrow."
Yao Zheyu has a toothache, can't you ask one more question? "Master Zhou, do you think I should go back with you?"
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, Yao Zheyu was in a hurry to leave the capital, something must have happened, and the one who could cause trouble was Lord Yao, should he take him with him or not
Yao Zheyu was very upset. He could not leave the capital easily unless the emperor summoned him. It was not safe to stay in the capital. It was easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. His last return home was just a test. He could not lose his engagement.
He met Lord Zhou when he was trying to find a solution. Thinking about it carefully, Lord Zhou had always helped him since he met him. It was a pity that he ruined the good relationship.
After thinking about it, Zhou Shuren decided to bring it with him. Not bringing it with him would be more troublesome. However, he didn't want to enter the palace, so he could only write a memorial. He touched his chin and said, "I'll go first."
Yao Zheyu was stunned. Did he agree or not
After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Shuren said, "Let's go back home."
After returning home, Zhou Shuren wrote a memorial and sent it to the palace.
Inside the palace, the Emperor was stunned when he heard Zhou Shuren's memorial, thinking there was something wrong. His expression changed when he took it. The whole memorial was full of flattery, and the last sentence was the key point: When he returned to Jinzhou Prefecture tomorrow, Prince Yao would think about it and go back.
The emperor sneered. Ha, I didn't expect that Zhou Shuren was also good at flattering. He closed the memorial and said to Eunuch Liu: "Put it away carefully. I will treasure this memorial."
He was just thinking about writing an article of his own. This flattering article was very good, and Lord Zhou's name would surely be passed down.
The prince was standing aside, and the emperor did not move because he allowed him to read it. He did not expect to see a whole article full of flattery. After listening to the emperor's words, Lord Zhou will definitely regret writing this memorial!
The emperor thought of Yao Zheyu. He deliberately did not summon Yao Zheyu and ignored Yao Zheyu's contribution. Yao Wenqi could not help but take action. Although he wanted to divert attention, Yao Zheyu was indeed of little use, so he asked Eunuch Liu to send someone to notify Yao Zheyu.
The emperor was in a good mood, "It should be a girl this time!"
The prince was confused. He was unsure whether the baby was a boy or a girl. "I don't know."
The emperor did not ask any more questions. It was good enough that he had the time to ask. If it was his other sons' concubines, he would not care even if they were pregnant.
The prince thought of Concubine Ran. He couldn't say that he liked her very much, but he didn't dislike her very much either. She didn't talk much and he quite liked quietness. It was just that it was not easy to give birth to this child. As soon as the news got out, he encountered several waves of plots.
In Jinzhou Prefecture, Zhulan and Dong Yiyi returned to Zhou's house. Dong Yiyi said, "Thank you, auntie, for today."
Zhulan was in a dilemma. She had already found the gentleman, and Dong Yiyi had no intention of leaving. She couldn't mention when to leave. "You're welcome."
Dong Yiyi, "Aunt, please take a rest first. I will go back first."
Zhulan: "Okay."
Dong Yiyi walked towards the courtyard of the third room, her heart was in a mess. She didn't expect that the master would find her so quickly. She didn't want to leave the Zhou family. It was the first time that she hated the Jiang Mansion so clearly. She counted the days in her mind. It was the end of the year again, and the Jiang family members would come in groups to beg for money again.
Su Xuan heard that her mother-in-law had returned. She was chatting with her mother-in-law when she saw her third sister-in-law's elder sister, "Sister Dong is back."
Dong Yiyi hurriedly bowed, "County Lady Anhe."
Su Xuan asked doubtfully, "Is the gentleman you met today not to your liking?"
Dong Yiyi quickly adjusted her mentality, fearing that she would be misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about my own family's affairs."
Su Xuan said, "Oh," and smiled, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Dong Yiyi froze for a moment, "Okay."
She didn't know if she was too sensitive, but she felt that the county lady had seen through her thoughts, so she lowered her head and walked away quickly.
In the main courtyard, Zhulan had just changed her clothes and saw Su Xuan coming in, "Why are you here?"
You know, Su Xuan and her husband seem to be stuck together, and it's really rare that Su Xuan came here by herself today.
Su Xuan was embarrassed, her eyes were a little wandering, could she say that she was bored? "Mom, I miss you."
Zhulan: "Hehe."
Su Xuan: "..;... ."
Well, because of what the mother-in-law said, Chang Zhile went crazy and held the book tightly and refused to let go. It had been the whole morning and he ignored her.
Liuya brought in apples that Pingzhou had brought over. Zhulan said, "These are freshly washed apples. Eat some."
Apples are still good things in winter. The Yang family brought quite a few, but most of them had to be kept as New Year gifts. There were not many that could be eaten, and each courtyard had a daily limit.
Su Xuan picked one up without hesitation and ate several mouthfuls in a row, "It's still more enjoyable to eat here."
Zhulan's teeth ached as she watched. The taste of apples in ancient times could not be compared to modern ones. Some fruits were sweet, while others were a little sour. At least the one she bit was a little sour. She was old at her age in ancient times. Even if her teeth were good, she couldn't stand the sour taste. "Isn't it sour?"
Su Xuan blinked and said, "No, I think it tastes good."
Zhulan silently put down the apple in her hand. It seemed that she was unlucky today as she picked a sour apple.
After a while, Zhulan felt something was wrong. There were four apples on the plate, and Su Xuan had already eaten two and was taking the third. No matter how high the probability was, they couldn't all be sweet. She motioned to Mrs. Song to bring a knife over, and Zhulan cut a small piece of the part she hadn't eaten, "Try it and see if it's sour."
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, but she still tasted it obediently and said, "It's pretty good."
Zhulan looked at Suxuan's belly. It had been a while since they got married, and Changzhi had never concealed his desire to have a child. Zhulan didn't feel surprised at all about becoming a grandmother again. She was used to having a baby.
Su Xuan felt embarrassed when she was stared at, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "Mom thinks that since you can eat sour food, you might be pregnant."
Su Xuan was stunned. The unbitten apple in her hand fell to the ground. She stood up suddenly. No way. However, it has been a while. She widened her eyes in surprise. This is a child related by blood. "I, I will go back and tell Chang Zhi."
Zhu Lan stared at him. The man ran away immediately. Zhu Lan was anxious, "Go chase him quickly. It's snowing and the road is slippery. Don't fall!"
