Rongchuan looked at everyone who was depressed, with a smile in his eyes, "We should have gotten used to it a long time ago."
Chang Lian, "Yeah, I should have gotten used to it by now."
Li came down the stairs and said, "Third brother's wife, you have changed a lot this time. Look at your demeanor. You are the wife of an official."
Mrs. Dong was very happy to hear this and said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said. No matter how I change, I am not her sister-in-law."
Li was heartless and knew that her third brother's wife was different from her. She was different from her before. She was a scholar's wife, and later a juren's wife, but she was not an official after all. Now the distance between them was even greater. "You have worked hard on the way. Let's go back to the mansion."
Zhao was not as relaxed as her eldest sister-in-law, so she still smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, you must be tired from the journey."
Dong replied, "I am indeed a little tired. I have been sitting for a long time."
Chang Lian smiled in his heart, thinking that it was all her own fault. The dress looked nice, but it made her very uncomfortable wearing it.
Boss Zhou didn't care what the woman said. He was particularly happy today and punched the third brother. "Good job."
Chang Lian covered his shoulder and said, "Brother, your punch is quite heavy."
Zhou Lao Er said to Rong Chuan: "Rong Chuan is also amazing, the third place winner."
Rongchuan felt embarrassed, "Second brother."
Boss Zhou laughed and said, "Let's go to the yard and talk about it."
This side of the street attracts onlookers.
Zhulan returned to the yard, "Well, this is the taste of home. I'm finally home."
Zhou Shuren put his fat son down. He was exhausted from carrying him all the way back. His hands were sore now. He warmed them for a while and said, "You must be tired from walking in the carriage. Let me massage your shoulders."
Zhulan took Zhou Shuren's hand and sat down, "I'm not tired, let's sit down and talk."
Zhou Shuren sat next to Zhulan, holding her hand and not wanting to let go. For the sake of this family, Zhulan went to the capital to take charge. They had been separated for a long time and he missed her every day. Now that she is back, he just wants to hold her hand and look at her.
Zhulan patted Zhou Shuren's hand and said, "My son is watching!"
Changzhong covered his eyes and said, "I can't see. I can't see."
Zhulan smiled, "You little bastard."
Changzhong couldn't stay idle, "Mom, I have to go find Minghui, I'm going out to play."
Zhou Shuren watched the little guy run away after he finished speaking, muttering, "You said you missed me, but this kid didn't even bother to stay with me for a while."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Children are like this. Did you eat well when I was not at home? I don't believe what you wrote in the letter."
Zhou Shuren motioned to Zhulan to pinch his face, "I've gained weight these days."
He was lazy a few days ago. He ate a lot, lay down a lot, and would lie down instead of sitting, so he gained weight.
Zhulan saw that he had gained a lot of weight. "You are so bold to think you can gain weight. Look at me. I have lost weight."
Zhou Shuren choked. The one who made him eat well was Zhulan. Now she was fat and said he was careless. "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense."
Zhulan chuckled, "I missed you."
Zhou Shuren didn't feel his face would turn red. According to their mental age, they were still young. "Me too."
Xue Han was standing outside and couldn't move her feet inside. She heard something. Oh my, my parents are so old, and yet they still say such blunt words!
The water woman whispered, "Miss, let's wait a while before coming back."
Xue Han nodded, "Yeah."
Outside the Zheng Palace in the capital, Yao Wenqi was puzzled. The emperor had not summoned him for a long time. No, it should be said that the emperor usually never summoned him. Every time he summoned him, there must be something. Yao Wenqi recalled carefully that he had not been felt recently and had been staying in the mansion quietly.
Eunuch Liu came out and said, "Lord Yao, the emperor wants you in."
Yao Wenqi took out the purse and handed it to Eunuch Liu, lowering his voice and asking, "Eunuch, do you know what the Xuan Benhou wants?"
Eunuch Liu accepted the red envelope quickly and said, "Good thing."
Yao Wenqi's heart skipped a beat. When the emperor came to him for a good thing, it was usually a bad thing. If it was a bad thing, it was a big thing. What was he thinking about? He had already walked in. "Meet the emperor."
The emperor waited for a while before saying, "Get up."
Yao Wenqi's knees hurt, and he had been kneeling for a while. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor spoke directly: "I heard that you investigated many people who participated in the imperial examination this year. Why, is this for choosing a husband for your legitimate daughter?"
Yao Wenqi thought to himself that he was in trouble. He was not surprised that the emperor knew everything about him, because the emperor had been keeping an eye on the Yaohou Mansion. "Yes, my daughter is not young anymore. I was confused before and damaged her reputation. After all, she is my daughter, and I love her too. I can only make plans for her."
The emperor snorted coldly. If Yao Wenqi loved his daughter, he would be a good father to the second sons. "I know that you love your daughter. I am afraid that you are overwhelmed by the choices, so I specially found a suitable husband for Miss Yao Er."
Yao Wenqi cursed in his heart. When he first investigated, he knew that the emperor must know about it. No one stopped him. He thought the emperor didn't care. Now that he had chosen someone, he came up to disgust him. "May I ask the emperor, who do you think is the best?"
The emperor smiled and said, "This year's second-class Jinshi is not very old and is unmarried and unengaged."
Yao Wenqi's heart skipped a beat. He was a second-class Jinshi, and he was not very old. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me. The Jinshi of this batch are not particularly old."
The emperor's eyes were deep, "This man is from the capital, his name is Shi Qing, he is a promising young man, I think he is a good match for the second Miss Yao."
Yao Wenqi was struck by lightning. He knew Shi Qing, who was born into a merchant family. His heart was on fire. Yao Yao was a daughter of the Marquis's family. How could she marry Shi Qing? The important thing was that Shi Qing had no connections. Her family background meant that she would be made difficult. She could not help the Marquis's family at all. "Your Majesty."
The emperor interrupted, "I know you are so happy to have such a good son-in-law. I understand."
What else could Yao Wenqi say? He couldn't say anything. He was even more happy. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was in a good mood. "Shi Qing is not young anymore, and Miss Yao Er is also old. The auspicious day will be in three months. I think it's a good day. What do you think?"
“Good day.”
The emperor was satisfied. "Okay, you can also withdraw. Go back and prepare your dowry. By the way, the daughter of Yaohou Mansion is getting married, and the dowry will definitely be very eye-catching. You know, everyone knows that Yaohou Mansion has money."
Yao Wenqi knew that this was a warning to him, so he lowered his head and said, "I'll take my leave."
In Jinzhou, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren talked a lot, and then they appeared together in the evening to have dinner with their children. Today, Zhulan and her group came back, and the whole family had a reunion dinner, which was also a celebration for Rongchuan and Changlian.
Zhou Shuren sat in the main seat, his eyes fell on Chang Lian, "Dad has nothing to say, Dad has seen your efforts, today's results are the result of your hard work in the past, there is still a long way to go in the future, I hope you can continue to walk steadily step by step, come and have a drink with me, Dad is happy for you."
