The emperor naturally saw the prince's actions and simply ignored them. As an elder brother, he should be more generous, since he is the prince after all!
Prince, “… .”
He was ignored, and he had a bad feeling when he got the job, and it came true!
The emperor put the title deed away, intending to give it to Ning Xu and then to Rongchuan. The Ning family would definitely be blamed for this. The emperor felt very sympathetic towards the prince, as he spent money to give his brother a gift but in the end he couldn't even leave his name on it. This frustrating matter should indeed be handed over to the prince!
In Jinzhou, Zhulan returned home and received a letter from Mrs. Dong. Changlian had already told his family about Changlian and Rongchuan going to Ningguo Mansion. She continued to read the letter, which described interesting stories about Yuyi learning to speak.
Then she took out a piece of paper and told Dong some interesting stories about her family.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back with a letter. Zhulan asked, "Whose letter is it?"
Zhou Shuren said in a good mood: "Wu Ming's letter, he has been the county magistrate for so many years, and finally got promoted."
Zhu Lan was happy for Wu Ming. "Give me the letter so I can take a look."
Zhou Shuren handed over the letter, "You read it first, I'll go change my clothes."
"good."
Zhulan took out the letter paper. Wu Ming said in the letter that during this war, he had made great contributions in pacifying the people in the county. In addition, due to the great victory, he was successfully promoted. Now he is a sixth-rank judge. Wu Ming has gone to the state capital to take up his post and left a new address on the letter.
Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and came out and said, "He has finally made it."
Zhulan put down the letter and said, "He is young and takes steady steps. He has a solid foundation now and will have a better future."
Zhou Shuren, "Well, I have been guarding the frontier county for many years. I have seen a lot and my character has been better tempered. I can look forward to the future."
In this life, Wu Ming spent several years to exchange for a better future, it was worth it!
Zhu Lan smiled and said, "This is a happy event. We should have a couple of drinks tonight. Oh, and the Wu Yong brothers should have received the letter by now!"
Zhou Shuren, "The letters were delivered together, and the Wu family also received them."
"Forget it, let the Wu Yong brothers inform Wu Ning. After all, it's the Wu family's wedding, so we won't interfere."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "Why didn't I see my son today?"
Zhulan squinted her eyes, "He likes his nephews very much. He is having dinner with Mingyun and others tonight in the front yard!"
Zhou Shuren said that when he came back, he seemed to hear the voices of children in the front yard. He thought for a moment and said, "Since we are eating together, let's eat together in the evenings. After eating, we can study together."
Zhulan, "My son should be happy."
Changzhong is happy even if they are just studying together, ahem, of course he can still maintain his status as an elder, which is also the main reason why Changzhong especially likes to play with his nephews.
The Wu family and the two brothers Wu Yong read the letter. Wu Yong was very emotional and his eyes were red. "My eldest brother finally made it."
Wu Ting couldn't stand his second brother's reaction, "On such a happy day, you are not allowed to drop golden beans."
Wu Yong blinked his eyes and said, "I don't have that. You must have seen it wrong."
Wu listened, "Haha."
The second brother has the same temper as the younger sister. Fortunately, he is also in Jinzhou. Otherwise, the second brother would have to keep it to himself if he was bullied. "Uncle and aunt must have heard the news and will write to my younger sister soon. I don't know yet!"
"Yes, yes, and my little sister."
Wu Yong added, "My younger sister is the same. You can buy anything in the state capital. She also sends me vegetables every once in a while. Now that she is married, I don't know if my brother-in-law will think too much if she is always thinking about her parents' home."
Wu Ting rolled his eyes, "I think you are overthinking. These are just some vegetables. Not only are they given to us, but they are also given to the Zhou and Wang families. The gift is small but the sentiment is great. I think you are really not as good as my younger sister."
Fortunately, my eldest brother made a prompt decision to send my younger sister to Zhou's house. Look at how my younger sister behaves now. Although she is young, the last time he sent something to my younger sister, all the members of the He family he met praised her.
Wu Ting was looking forward to his future second sister-in-law more and more. He believed that the person he chose from the Zhou family would definitely not be wrong.
Wu Ting was thinking about this, and Zhu Lan was also thinking about it. When Zhou Shuren came back after washing up, she said, "We have a lot of things to do at home, so we have delayed helping Wu Yong find a girlfriend. We should do this now before we go to Beijing. It will be difficult to find a girlfriend when we get to Beijing."
Zhou Shuren, "Wu Yong and Wu Ting are doing well in the academy. We can't take care of them when we go to Beijing. It's better for them to stay in Jinzhou. With the Wang family, and Lord Wang and Lord Ran being related to our family, we can take better care of them. You are right. It's better to arrange the marriage as soon as possible."
Zhulan was a little worried, "I also want it to be as soon as possible, but you know it's not easy to choose this person."
Zhou Shuren thought for a while and said, "You can ask Lord Wang's family."
Zhulan didn't think Zhou Shuren said it casually, "Do you know something?"
Zhou Shuren spread his hands, "I don't know anything. I just think that the Wu family relies on Wu Ming, and the sixth rank is still low. It is difficult to find a better girl in Jinzhou. Lord Wang's background, Lord Wang and Xue have many relatives, and Wu Yong's temperament is not as good as Wu Ming and Wu Ting. It is better for the girl to choose a more down-to-earth one. If the girl has some connection with the Wang family, and considering He Shu's relationship, the two brothers of the Wu family will be safer in Jinzhou."
After saying this, Zhou Shuren felt that he had really worried a lot about the Wu brothers. In the future, Wu Ming would have to pay more back to the Zhou family!
"Then I'll go ask Xue tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren was sleepy, "Go to bed early."
"good."
The next day, Zhulan went to Lord Wang's house in person, and Xue came in to greet Zhulan in surprise.
Zhulan looked at the ice basin and asked, "You've already used the ice so early in the morning?"
Xue signaled the maid to take the ice basin further away. "I can't stand the heat. The weather is hot this year. I feel uncomfortable when I get up in the morning, so I brought some ice over."
"Indeed, the temperature is high this year. It hasn't rained for quite a while. When I went to the temple yesterday, I saw many people offering incense and money to pray to the Buddha in the hope that it would rain soon."
Xue frowned and said, "To be honest, the weather has been good for many years, and there have been no droughts for some years."
Zhulan frowned, "Please don't let drought happen, the people's lives will just be better."
"That's not true. The people have had a better life in the past few years. They just had enough to eat, but then there was a severe drought. All the hard work of the years was ruined. Droughts are terrible, but there hasn't been a drought in the capital for many years, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Zhulan wiped off her sweat and said, "I will tell you the reason for my visit today. You also know that Wu Ning has two brothers in Jinzhou. I came here for Wu Yong. The brothers and sisters in the Wu family have no elders, so I took over. But I really don't know any suitable girls."
Zhulan didn't need to say the rest, Xue also understood.
Xue raised her eyebrows, "Why do I remember that Wu Yong seems to be engaged?"
Zhu Lan said: "The woman has already withdrawn from the engagement, and this matter has never been publicized."
Xue frowned and said, "Then I have one more question, but did the Wu family cancel the engagement?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "I know you are worried. Don't worry. The Wu family has good character. It was not the Wu family who backed out on the marriage, but the woman."
