At night, Zhulan asked her maid to pack her luggage overnight. There were so many things to take with her, and she didn't know when Zhulan would come back.
Zhou Shuren sat on one side, "You don't need to bring so many things. There is no shortage of anything in the capital."
Zhulan put down the clothes in her hands and said, "I really didn't bring much stuff. These are all used."
As she spoke, she looked around and saw two boxes packed in the room, and these were just hers.
Zhou Shuren looked at his son running on the ground. The little guy was excited. "Son, stay home with daddy."
Changzhong looked at his father in disbelief, "Dad, that's not what you said just now."
Although he is young, he is not stupid. He remembers what his father just said. His father asked his mother to take him with her.
Zhou Shuren teased his youngest son, "Dad regrets it."
"No, adults must keep their word. Fourth brother said that adults must be role models for children. Fourth brother has always been a role model for his nephews."
Zhulan, "... ..."
Chang Zhi is really a traitor. After Zhou Shuren re-educated Chang Zhi, Chang Zhi also started to educate Ming Teng and Ming Rui again!
Zhou Shuren was also speechless. Chang Zhi had become wise, but his grandchildren ran away from him as soon as they saw him!
Zhou Shuren looked at his son who was still playing. His wife took his son away. He felt so uncomfortable. This house was not small and he would be alone in the future. "Son, you should stay and accompany your father."
Changzhong was in a dilemma. His father looked so pitiful. He turned his head to look at his mother, then looked at his father. "Dad is older than mom, and he is the most pitiful. Mom, I will stay and accompany dad!"
Zhou Shuren felt mixed emotions for a moment. He was happy that his son was on his side, but also sad that he was really old. Last time he took his son to the street on his day off, the waiter came up and said that a grandfather was bringing his grandson out. Zhulan came back and said with a smile that it was good that he didn't say anything about bringing his great-grandson.
Zhulan couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't bully your dad."
The little guy stuck out his tongue and shook his head, "I didn't say that first."
Zhulan pinched her son's face and said, "Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow to travel."
The little guy ran away happily.
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "This kid is about to become a spirit."
"That's smart indeed. By the way, I will buy some more shops and properties when I go to the capital this time. I also plan to rebuild the house we bought earlier at the northwest border."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Will Jian keep it as a dowry for Xuehan?"
Zhulan took out the box containing banknotes and said, "Well, I thought about buying more to give to my sons when the family was divided, but plans don't change quickly. This is the only house left in the capital. At present, it is unlikely to divide the family. It is better to give it to Xuehan as a dowry. Now Rongchuan is going to Beijing to take the exam, and Xuehan is almost old. We should rebuild it this year to avoid any unexpected changes and not being able to rebuild it in a hurry."
Zhou Shuren glanced at the banknotes in the box and said, "You are planning to make a big move this year."
Zhulan put away the silver bills she had taken out and said, "Well, our son has grown up, and the eldest and second sons are taking care of us at home. I thought I could get some more silver."
Zhou Shuren was silent. The Zhou family had a large population, which meant that there were many places to spend money. "Thank you for your hard work."
“It’s not hard.”
The next morning, the whole family had breakfast together. Zhulan talked about going to the capital, and specifically told Su Xuan about the arrangements, "If I can get back as soon as possible, I will."
Su Xuan has a big picture perspective. She won't think too much just because her mother-in-law is not around. For her, she still prefers to rely on herself. "Mom, don't worry. I have arranged everything here. Nothing will happen."
Zhulan knew Su Xuan's ability, but she still felt embarrassed. She had accompanied several of her daughters-in-law during their births. "Take care of yourself."
Su Xuan touched her belly and said, "Hmm."
Zhulan then gave a few more instructions, hoping that each room would be careful and cautious when she was not at home.
After dinner, the carriage was arranged. Zhulan carried her youngest son into the carriage. She felt a little uncomfortable when she lifted the curtain.
Li's eyes were filled with tears. "Mom, Mom, I'll go with you."
She feels anxious when her mother-in-law is not at home. Although her mother-in-law doesn't take care of the affairs of each room when she is at home, her presence can put her at ease!
Zhulan was so touched, "Don't cry, wait for mom to come back and bring you a gift, you have to be obedient at home."
Li sniffed, "Mom, I will be obedient."
Boss Zhou, “… .”
Should he be jealous of his mother? The first time he left home, his wife was not so reluctant to let him go. Later, she got used to his leaving and even wanted to see him off!
Zhao felt complicated. She had been planning on speaking for a long time, but her sister-in-law scared her and she forgot what she said. When she wanted to speak again, the carriage had gone far away and her mother-in-law's carriage curtains were lowered.
Xue Han was originally reluctant to leave, but after hearing her sister-in-law’s fuss, she just wanted to laugh and coughed, “Sisters-in-law, let’s all go back!”
Li looked at the carriage eagerly, "I'll wait a little longer, and go back if I can't see it."
Xue Han: "... Come on, sister-in-law, don't let it get cold."
Zhao covered her chest. She hadn't felt her sister-in-law like this for a long time. She was really a little uncomfortable. She said to her eldest daughter, "Let's go back too."
Yu Shuang pulled her cloak closer. It was really cold that day. "Mom, you go back first. I'll go to Fourth Aunt's yard."
Zhao looked at her daughter. As a mother, she understood her daughter's changes best. In the past, her daughter was a model lady from a wealthy family. Now her clothes and demeanor have changed. The fiery red cape is dazzling, and her daughter's smile is brighter. "Ah, good."
Yu Shuang walked back briskly. Since she started studying with Fourth Aunt, she really learned a lot and she liked Fourth Aunt.
At the gate, Li was freezing cold, her lips were trembling, "Why is the wind so biting today?"
Boss Zhou rolled his eyes in an indecent manner, "I thought you were too thick to feel it!"
Li shivered, "Boss, I'm cold."
Boss Zhou stretched out his much fatter hand and took the cold hand, "Let's go."
Li grinned foolishly, even though the head of the family disliked her, she still accompanied her!
When Zhulan's carriage left the city, Changzhong couldn't stay still. He pulled open the curtain to get out of the carriage and said, "Mom, mom, we are leaving the city. Mom, there are so many carriages."
Zhulan took out her last cloak and wrapped it around her son, "Can't you be quiet for a while? If you open the curtain, the carriage won't be warm anymore."
Changzhong's face was still very excited, "Mom, there are so many carriages."
Zhulan laughed. Boys, modern boys like cars, all kinds of cars, while ancient boys like horses, horse-drawn carriages. "This is the only main road into Beijing, so there are naturally many horse-drawn carriages."
Changzhong wanted to open the car curtain, "Mom, let me watch for a while longer."
Zhu Lan stopped him, "No, you'll catch a cold if you keep doing this. Behave yourself, or I won't take you out next time."
Changzhong finally became completely obedient. It was so much fun to go out that he didn't want to stay at home. He had been to the entire Zhou Mansion and it was no longer new to him.
