Zhulan was a woman and she was not very familiar with Wu Yong. After learning that Wu Yong's engagement was chosen by Wu Ming, she did not ask any more questions and let Wu Yong go to rest.
Zhulan waited for Wu Yong to follow Rongchuan and left, feeling very emotional, "All the children back then have started their own families now."
She almost forgot what the children looked like when she first arrived.
Mrs. Song, "I have my own family and responsibilities. This is growing up."
"Yes, they are all grown up. Tomorrow Wu Yong will go buy a house. You can go and tell the second brother to take Wu Yong with him."
Mrs. Song: "Yes."
After dinner, Zhou Shuren took Wu Yong to the study to chat alone for a while. After Zhulan finished bathing her son, Zhou Shuren came back and asked, "Have you been chatting for so long?"
Zhou Shuren took his son wrapped in clothes and tucked him into bed. "We talked a lot. You know that Wu Ming's county is near the border, and he has been paying attention to the movements of foreign tribes. Wu Ming conveyed that even if there is no severe weather such as snowstorms this year, the border will not be stable."
"Ah, so Wu Ming asked Wu Yong to come to Jinzhou to buy a house. He was afraid of danger, so he arranged for his two younger brothers to come here."
Zhou Shuren took the warm clothes and put them on his son who was about to get out of bed. "Well, Wu Yong told me that you should let him live at home."
"I think that since the two families have a good relationship, if I move in, I can take care of her. However, after listening to your words, if we want to settle down here, we should buy a house. This way, Wu Ning will have another family to go back to after she becomes a nun."
Zhou Shuren was a little worried about Wu Ming. "If there really is a war, I don't know if Wu Ming can protect himself."
Zhulan paused while wiping her son's head. "Of course he can do it. Wu Ming is not an ordinary person."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Indeed, the court received a large sum of money last year, most of which was spent on the soldiers. The fighting capacity is no longer the same as before."
When Zhulan saw Mrs. Song coming in, she picked up her chubby son and said, "I'll go and coax him to sleep."
"good."
The next day, Zhou Laoer helped Wu Yong buy a house quickly. The house was a courtyard with two entrances. Wu Yong only brought a personal servant and a groom with him, as he needed to rest after buying the house.
Fortunately, there is Zhou Laoer, the know-it-all of Jinzhou. Zhou Laoer may not have passed the imperial examination, but he has his own way. In addition, as the second master of the Zhou family, he is familiar with all kinds of people in Jinzhou. He helped Wu Yong buy furniture and did a lot of good things for Wu Yong.
In just one day, most of the things for the house were purchased, and a lot of money was saved.
At dinner, Wu Yong expressed his gratitude, "Thanks to my second brother for helping me today, I would like to offer you a glass of wine."
Zhou Laoer was in high spirits. He was helping out here not only because of his mother's request, but also because he wanted to build more connections for his son. "You're being too polite. We have a good relationship between our two families, so this is what we should do."
Boss Zhou looked at Chang Yi. He could not learn Chang Yi's tactfulness no matter how hard he tried. In the whole Jinzhou, Mr. Zhou's name was very famous.
However, Boss Zhou looked at his eldest niece Yu Shuang and felt that Chang Yi's smoothness had some influence on her. His niece was like her father. He had heard from his niece that there were some rumors that Yu Shuang was very scheming. His niece also asked him to talk more with Chang Yi!
Zhulan looked at Wu Ning. Everything was different when her brother came. Wu Ning seemed to have a new lover. His confidence came from the heart.
In the Prince's Mansion in the capital, the Prince and his third uncle sat opposite each other, "Third uncle, is it okay living here these days?"
Ning Xu took the bowl and drank, "It's good, but the emperor is still bold and actually let me live in the prince's mansion. There are many people watching you here."
The prince looked at the bowl in his uncle's hand. It seemed that it was difficult to change his habits. "The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Who would have thought that my uncle was the Ning Sanlang of the past?"
Ning Xu stroked his beard and sighed, "I'm so close to home, but I can't get even a step closer."
The prince felt uncomfortable. To be honest, the Ning family was the one who had paid the most for his father. It was said that his eldest uncle saved his father and his father even drank his eldest uncle's blood. His father was able to live because of his eldest uncle. When the second uncle arrived, it was the eldest uncle who protected his father with all his perseverance and he was relieved only after seeing his second uncle.
Ning Xu looked at his nephew, the prince. When he left, the little guy was only a little boy. Look at his profile. He really looks like the emperor. "Drink."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was late December. The snow that had stopped for a long time seemed to have started again, and it continued to snow all day and all night.
The servants of the Zhou Mansion started clearing the snow in the morning. If they didn't clear it within an hour or two, a thick layer of snow would have accumulated.
Zhulan warmed herself by the fire and said to her daughter, "Count the amount of cotton left at home and ask the embroiderer to make some quilts for you and Wu Ning. Also, take out the cotton from the cotton-padded clothes that you and Wu Ning can no longer wear and use coarse cloth to make new cotton-padded clothes."
Xue Han: "Mom, I'll get busy then."
"Go ahead, your sisters-in-law, I'll notify them."
"Um."
Zhulan asked Liuya to notify all parties, then stood up and rummaged through her closet. She had so many clothes, as she had made many clothes for the banquets she attended. Each piece of clothing was about 80% new, but it was a pity that the materials of the clothes were too gorgeous and ordinary people could not wear them, so she had to have them remade.
Zhu Languang found four cotton-padded jackets by herself, and together with Zhou Shuren's, there were eight in total. These were only the ones from the past two years; the ones before that had all been taken apart.
Finally, after counting the number of unwearable cotton-padded clothes in each room, it was found that the eldest room had the most unwearable cotton-padded clothes. Li's reluctance to throw them away remained unchanged, so even though a lot of them were donated to the Li family, she still had a lot of them saved.
The second wife had the least. Zhao was very clever and was willing to make clothes when she had nothing to do. She would have altered those that were no longer wearable.
Mrs. Dong from the third house was a very tidy person. She had disposed of all the clothes that could no longer be worn early on, and only a few pieces were left.
As for the fourth room, it was the most luxurious in the mansion. There was no unwearable clothing, and quite a few extra cotton-padded clothes were brought in.
Zhulan looked at the clothes in the fourth room and blinked, "Su Xuan, how many cotton-padded clothes have you made this year?"
Su Xuan was a little embarrassed, and she counted on her fingers and said, "Mom, my belly is growing fast, so I made cotton clothes according to the month so that they would fit me well. You see, I can't leave my husband behind, so I made as many as I made for him. Not many, a total of twelve."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
As expected of the Zhou family, it’s so luxurious!
Li was stunned when she heard this. She counted with her chubby fingers, "My dear, my sister-in-law's cotton-padded clothes for one year are equivalent to my cotton-padded clothes for three years!"
Mrs. Dong looked at her fourth brother's wife and then at her eldest sister-in-law. Why did she feel that she was surprised by her eldest sister-in-law? "Sister-in-law, you should change your habit of saving things and not wanting to throw them away."
Li looked at the pile of clothes in front of her, her face flushed, "I, I can't bear to part with it."
Zhulan was silent. For so many years, she had been trying to change Li's bad habits, but unfortunately it was of no use. However, Li's clothes could help a lot.
Butler Ding came in and said, "Madam, there is a girl at the door who fainted after knocking on the door."
