At the Zhou family, when Rongchuan arrived, Zhou Shuren had already taken the medicine and fell asleep. Zhulan said, "I'll go wake up your uncle."
Rong Chuan hurriedly said, "Aunt, I just came to see you. I'll be relieved to know that uncle is fine. You don't have to call me uncle."
Zhulan didn't want to call her husband. She wished her husband could have more rest. But Rongchuan was not a family member now, so she needed to be polite. Rongchuan had been back to the Ning family for some time, and the child had changed a lot.
Rongchuan is now more noble and at ease, which is the confidence brought by his status. Rongchuan in the past did not have this confidence and acted cautiously.
As for external attire, it goes without saying.
Zhulan said, "Changlian went to the party, why didn't you go? Yes, I remember, they were a party for the Shujishi."
Rong Chuan curved his eyes and said, "Actually, they invited me, but I had to guide Ning Zhao and Ning Ming, so I declined."
Zhulan knew about this. She mentioned it the last time Rongchuan came and took away the questions Zhou Shuren had given.
Zhulan saw that Rongchuan had no intention of leaving, and understood, "Look at me, I've been talking to you for a long time. I'm going to call Xuehan now."
Rong Chuan's ears turned red. Although he didn't have to be shy when interacting with Xue Han now, he still felt a little embarrassed, especially after knowing that the Queen Mother had given him the material for his wedding dress.
In Xue Han's yard, Xue Han was dividing the threads. She needed gold threads to embroider her wedding dress. She was thinking of going to the street to buy some when she heard the big girl beside her mother say that Rong Chuan was here. Xue Han raised her lips and said, "I'll go right over."
Xue Han arrived at the main courtyard soon. Zhu Lan saw that the two were reserved and said with a smile, "I'm tired of sitting for a while. You can go walk around the garden."
Xue Han replied, "Mom, I want to buy some gold thread."
Rong Chuan understood as soon as he heard it, "Aunt, I'm free, I'll go with Xue Han."
Zhulan: "Okay."
Although no one would say anything if the two of them were engaged, Zhulan still asked Suxuan and Changzhi to accompany her. Suxuan and Changzhi were happy about it as they hadn't gone shopping together for a long time.
After Boss Zhou finished touring the Zhou family's farm, he took a breath and said, "Is this really our farm?"
Chang Yi replied, "To be precise, this is the manor that Xue Han got as a dowry."
Boss Zhou felt that the manor was very big and beautiful yesterday, and sighed quietly, "Tell me, we never thought we would be here today."
Chang Yi laughed, "We never dared to imagine this day, no matter how hard we tried."
Boss Zhou took a deep breath, "I just came back and heard your sister-in-law talking about my younger sister's dowry. I didn't feel anything when I heard it, I just felt that there were a lot of valuables. Now that I see Zhuangzi, I feel even more pressured."
Chang Yi agreed, "Who says it's not true? I'm under a lot of pressure too."
The second wife has two daughters!
In the capital, at the Ministry of Revenue, Xiao Qing smiled when he heard the news that Zhou Shuren was recuperating. In the future, the Ministry of Revenue would be handed over to Zhou Shuren, so he really had nothing to worry about. Zhou Shuren was really a man with a clear vision and a clear mind.
When Qiu Yan got the news, he wondered whether he should go and take a look.
A lot of people went to Zhou's house. Zhulan collected a lot of supplements in the morning. The news in the capital spread very quickly. Everyone knew that Zhou Shuren needed to recuperate, so everyone who was supposed to come came. Some people came to inquire about the news, and some came to test whether he was really sick.
Zhulan was not happy even though she got a lot of precious medicinal herbs. She felt tired and mentally exhausted.
In the teahouse in the capital, Chang Lian was a little absent-minded. He kept wondering why his father was in a hurry to rest.
Master Lu asked, "You've been distracted for the whole morning. What's wrong?"
Chang Lian saw that everyone was looking at him, and he knew that he would know the truth tomorrow anyway, so he explained, "My father caught a cold, and I am worried about him."
Master Lu, "Is Lord Zhou ill?"
"Well, the imperial physician has examined me and prescribed some nourishing prescriptions. I need to rest for a few days."
The words of his biological son just helped to confirm that his father was indeed sick.
Master Lu was extremely worried. "Is Lord Zhou okay? How did he get sick?"
Chang Lian: "...it rained last night and it got cold."
His own son was not as anxious as Lu Liang. After saying this, he turned his head silently and looked out the window. When he saw this, Chang Lian's mouth twitched. He actually saw Ming Teng and Lord Ran's grandson, Ran Xun.
Chang Lian then remembered that the academy was closed today.
Master Lu saw Chang Lian staring outside and went over to him, "What are you looking at?"
Chang Lian stood up and said, "Sorry, I saw my nephew, I'll go back first."
Master Lu also saw the two young masters downstairs. Lu Liang laughed and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Is it your nephew who wants to enter the teahouse?"
Chang Lian saw that it was strange that these two would come to the teahouse. He was afraid that the two boys would go crazy everywhere. "Yes."
As they were talking, the two children had already entered the teahouse.
Chang Lian wanted to leave, but everyone wouldn't let him. It was a rare opportunity to meet the Zhou family's grandchildren, so of course he wanted to meet them.
Ming Teng had just come in with his friends when he was invited upstairs. When he saw his uncle, he laughed dryly, "Uncle, you're here too!"
Ran Xun chuckled, "Third Uncle."
Chang Lian had a headache. These two little guys were really cute together. "Ran Xun, why did you come to Beijing?"
Did he remember that this kid refused to go to Beijing no matter what
Ran Xun laughed dryly, "Well, my grandfather transferred me to another academy, and tomorrow I will be studying in the same academy as Ming Teng."
Ming Teng said nothing, "I just found out today. Ran Xun said it was a surprise for me."
He was indeed surprised. Mingrui was devoted to his studies and seldom played with him. It was really great that Ran Xun came.
Chang Lian had a lot of thoughts in his mind. When his mother went to the birthday banquet of the Third Prince's wife, she said that the Crown Princess specially brought Concubine Ran with her. Ran Xun didn't come to Beijing just to study. Was this the Crown Prince's intention
Lu Liang asked, "Who is this gentleman?"
Chang Lian explained, "The grandson of the Maritime Inspector Ran."
Lu Liang's eyes lit up. He didn't mention that Lord Ran was a third-rank official, nor did he mention the importance of the Maritime Supervisory. He just mentioned the prince's concubine, Lord Ran's own daughter. His tone was extremely enthusiastic, "So it's Master Ran. Nice to meet you."
Ran Xun had seen a lot of things like this. Although he looked naughty, he knew what he should know. As a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, he needed to be polite. "You are my third uncle's colleague. I am a junior. It should be my honor."
Ming Teng felt that his friend had changed a lot. He was not so polite when he was in Jinzhou City before. He said, "Third Uncle, Ran Xun and I will be out for a while. Let's go back to the mansion."
Chang Lian stood up and said, "I'll go back with you."
Ming Teng, "... ..."
This means that you don't believe he will go home. Well, he really doesn't want to go home.
Chang Lian grabbed one in each hand and said to Lu Liang and the others, "I am worried about the two of them going back, so I will go back first."
This time no one stopped them. They were all smart people. As soon as they saw Chang Lian’s reaction, they knew that these two little guys were naughty.
At the needlework shop on the other side, Xue Han had already bought the gold thread and some other necessary threads. She didn't want to buy anything else.
Rong Chuan didn't ask the maid to bring the needle and thread, he took it himself, "Fourth brother and sister-in-law are in the jewelry shop, let's go over there."
Xue Han pulled Rong Chuan's sleeve and said, "Fourth brother and his wife finally went out together. Let's not disturb them."
Rong Chuan was also unwilling to go. He wanted to be alone with Xue Han. Although there were still old women and maids around them, they were not a problem and could not be ignored.
