Zhulan thought about Zhang Yang's bad leg and how it wouldn't stop even after it healed. She was really anxious, "Several princes have sons, but the fifth prince doesn't have any children. The fifth prince is really anxious about having children."
Xuehan also heard rumors, but she had her own opinion, "Mom, I think the fifth prince's move is not smart. There are so many people in the back house all of a sudden. If there is no news for a few months, wouldn't the rumors get worse?" Acting harder? Then the rumors will become true."
"He has no choice. If he doesn't get a child to break the rumors, the power he finally gathered will fall apart."
Zhang Yang's methods rely on the power behind him, and King Qi's methods can cause endless trouble to Zhang Yang if he catches one point, and he will come out in a competition.
Xuehan leaned into her mother's ear and said, "Mom, the fifth prince has been inviting Rong Chuan to his residence recently, but Rong Chuan has not gone. Rong Chuan told me that Lord Ning would not let him go."
Zhulan thought to herself, it’s better not to go. In the eyes of the emperor and Lord Ning, the Fifth Prince’s Mansion is too dangerous. Zhulan said with a smile: “I heard that Ninghou Mansion has prepared a courtyard for Rong Chuan to get married. alright."
Xuehan sat up straight and did not tell her mother. Rongchuan also asked her what she needed to buy. She was so angry that she pinched Rongchuan a few times. How could she ask her this? But she felt very sweet in her heart. Rongchuan valued their future little one. Home.
Zhulan continued: "Liu Li's family will be your dowry. Liu Li's father and mother have been placed in charge of the village where you are dowry. There are also several girls from Liu Jin. Do you still want to take them over to tell your mother?"
Xuehan shook her head and leaned gently on her mother's shoulder, "Mom, you have prepared enough for your daughter."
Zhulan touched her daughter's hair. She used to tease her daughter about getting married, but she really didn't feel reluctant to part with her. As the day got closer, she felt quite uncomfortable, "This year, the money you received as a dowry to Zhuangzi will be included with my mother's." I’ll give you the dowry money. Time flies so fast. I feel like I haven’t taught you many things yet.”
Xuehan held her mother's hand and touched the ring on her finger. "Mom, you have taught your daughter too much. The rest of your daughter will explore on her own. If your daughter is so smart, she will not let you down."
Zhulan hugged her daughter, and the little cotton-padded jacket was about to belong to someone else's family, "When you got married, all the money was in your hands. Now the court is stable, and the money is invested in exchange for income. Also, although Rongchuan is sincere to you, mother is not Just keep your eyes open and save some capital for yourself.”
Xuehan held her mother's hand tightly, "Mom, my daughter will not let you down."
She longs for the same affection as her parents, so she has expectations for her childhood sweetheart, but she is a daughter taught by her parents to be decisive. If she really can't grow old, she will be decisive and settle down and live her life well.
In Zhoujia Village, Butler Ding has been in Zhoujia Village for a few days. When he came back, the old patriarch's illness had recovered and he was recovering from his illness these days.
When Butler Ding came back, he quickly bought the land and took the land deed to the patriarch's house. The old patriarch was walking slowly in the yard. Butler Ding stepped forward to support him, "The patriarch is walking much more neatly than in the past few days. In a few days, you can I can go to the clan school again.”
Patriarch Zhou sat down and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. He waved his hands and said: "I'm old, I'm old. My body and bones are getting worse and worse after a serious illness. Look, it's hard to walk even a few steps now. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let me see where you bought the land."
Butler Ding took out the land deed and said, "A total of one hundred acres of land to the east were purchased, including a forest."
Patriarch Zhou stroked his beard and said, "This land is good, and you have a good vision."
"We can start construction after recruiting people in two days. By the way, do you think we should renovate the ancestral hall and clan school together? It's winter now. The clan school will be renovated so that the children in the clan can be warmer in winter."
Patriarch Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, you'll have to worry more about it then."
Patriarch Zhou stroked his beard and looked at Butler Ding. This was the Zhou clan. Butler Ding was very prestigious outside. He was very grateful for being so polite to him now.
The Zhou clan is getting better and better. Thinking of his grandson's fate next year, the old patriarch's smile deepened and he touched his leg. He still insisted not to see his eldest grandson succeed, and he couldn't close his eyes.
In the Jiang family, Dong Yiyi sent the matchmaker away, and Mu Lan and others came out after leaving, "Mom, which girl did the matchmaker talk about today?"
Dong Yiyi held a tea bowl and said, "The daughter of Xu Xiucai's family in the county said that she was married with a dowry of fifty acres of land, a shop and a small courtyard in the county town."
Mu Lan has grown up and has some understanding of her family's family background. Her mother is a person who knows how to live a good life. Her father is now a gentleman and has a dowry every month. Her mother will not be interested in these dowries. "Mom, although my daughter knows these dowries, I can't help you, but the Jiang family is getting further and further away from us. Jiang Miao is Mr. Zhou's only granddaughter, so don't worry about her. "
Of course she hopes Jiang Miao will become her sister-in-law. Not only does she and Jiang Miao have a good time, but Jiang Miao's identity, she supports it with both hands. However, the Jiang family has entered Beijing. If they have not entered Beijing, there is still a possibility. Now they may have been engaged. .
Dong Yiyi washed the tea bowl, "I will not get engaged to your eldest brother before he turns 18. You understand the truth, how could mother not understand? Take it step by step. However, your aunt said that Jiang Miu is not engaged. ”
Dong Yiyi looked sideways at her daughter. She really wanted to marry the Jiang family, whether it was a son or a daughter, but her daughter was right. The Jiang family had come to Beijing, and some of the affairs that had been going on were now gone.
In the capital, Zhulan listened to Zhao's words, "You mean Liu Feng's aunt from her hometown brought her daughter to the capital?"
Ever since Ms. Zhao found out that her cousin Liu Feng had committed suicide, she really didn't have a good impression of the Gu family at all. "The reputation of the girl from the Gu family has been affected. Now she is about to get engaged, so she came to the capital hoping to improve her reputation." I can arrange a better marriage, now I know what to do in a hurry.”
Zhulan also looked down on the Gu family's behavior, "Gu Zhuomin's life is not easy either. Everything is happening to him. It's time for Ding to worry again."
Fortunately, Liu Feng was able to dodge with Gu Zhuomin blocking him.
Mrs. Zhao snorted, "Mom, don't look at Mrs. Hu's weak temper. She knows everything in her heart. You are not telling me now. She will take her son back to Mr. Hu's house to stay for a few days. Now Jin and Mrs. Hu We get along well!”
Zhulan also smiled, "She is indeed very smart."
The more Mrs. Zhao got to know her future biological mother, the more satisfied she became, "I can tell that Mrs. Hu has deep resentment towards the Gu family. It also revealed from Mrs. Hu's mouth that Liu Feng, the child, is completely disappointed in the Gu family."
She felt very at ease now, and even more happy that the old man of the Gu family had left early, and her uncle who had separated the family had no control over Liu Feng and could not use the word of filial piety to suppress Liu Feng.
