In the teahouse, Mingyun frowned. He didn't like people staring at him. His appearance was not outstandingly handsome, just above average. What was more attractive was his temperament. It was hard to ignore Mingyun when sitting next to him.
Gu Liufeng's face looked grim. He didn't know the person who came, but he knew who it was based on what he heard.
Mrs. Lu's expression was not good either. She said to Liu Feng apologetically, "We are here to look for your cousin. We will leave first."
Mingyun raised his eyebrows. Lu is the eldest daughter-in-law of Lord Gu’s family. What about the girl next to Lu
Gu Le didn't want to leave, "Cousin, I'm Gu Yue."
Gu Liufeng had seen his cousin who committed suicide. He had no feelings for her, but she gave him a good feeling. But this cousin was not good. She actually stared at Mingyun. Liufeng said nothing.
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she pulled Gu Yue's hand and pinched it hard. There were only men in this room, and even though she had been married for many years, it was not a good time for her to stay there for long. She regretted not holding back one of them just now. If she had known, she would not have told him that she saw Liu Feng.
Yudie stood up from the second brother's arms, squeezed in front of the eldest brother, opened her hands to block the eldest brother, "You are not allowed to look, the eldest brother belongs to the eldest sister-in-law, if you look, I will beat you."
Ran Xun and others were choked. Yudie’s sister-in-law is their sister, no, her future sister-in-law.
Yuyi also stretched out her chubby little hand, "Go away, you're blocking us from listening to the book."
Gu Liufeng's face flushed red, and Lu's face also became hot. She pinched Gu Le and finally pulled him away.
Gu Liufeng didn't know how to face the Ran brothers, "Excuse me."
God knows, he has never had any contact with the Gu family.
Mingyun patted Liufeng's shoulder and said, "This has nothing to do with you."
Gu Liufeng was not comforted. He thought that his mother was really foresighted. He thought he could stay at his uncle's house for a few more days, but he had to tell his cousin so as not to affect the women in his uncle's family.
The brothers of the Ran family smiled. They didn't think anything of it. This woman was the same as the man. It would be abnormal if no one liked Mingyun. The eldest grandson of the Zhou family was a good candidate for a son-in-law no matter his background or his abilities.
On the other side, Mrs. Lu found her husband and whispered to him what had just happened. Young Master Gu's face turned pale. His father had finally managed to get in touch with the Zhou family. He stared at Gu Le who was lowering his head with a cold face.
Mrs. Lu felt that the Gu family had a bad foundation and could not raise a good daughter. The only good daughter had committed suicide. She would go home and tell her mother-in-law that it would be better to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Zhulan also heard the news and was not to worry, as Gu Zhuomin and Ding would handle it.
Zhulan really didn't take the rest period seriously. Zhao was quite concerned about it and came back to tell her that the girl from the Gu family had left. It can be said that no one in the Zhou family took it seriously.
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren left the government office. Hu Xia had been waiting there. He took a few steps forward and said, "Greetings, sir."
Zhou Shuren knew that Hu Xia would not look for him unless he had something to do in the Ministry of Revenue. If he was waiting for him outside the Ministry of Revenue, it must be a private matter. "Let's talk about it in the carriage."
There are people coming and going outside, so it's not a place to talk.
When they got on the carriage, Hu Xia said without waiting for the adults to ask, "The Gu family didn't want Liu Feng back then. My sister and Liu Feng have a deep grudge against the Gu family. The Gu family's several actions made Liu Feng even more disappointed with the Gu family."
Zhou Shuren knew about the teahouse incident and looked at Hu Xia. They didn't take it seriously, but Hu Xia took it seriously. Yes, Hu Xia had high expectations for Liu Feng.
Seeing that the adults were listening carefully, Hu Xia continued, "Gu Zhuomin was also disappointed with Uncle Liu Feng's branch, so after the two of us discussed it, we wanted to adopt Liu Feng from this branch of the family tree to Zhuomin's branch."
It was Gu Zhuomin who proposed it first. He knew that Gu Zhuomin had been thinking about Liu Feng for a long time. He thought about it for a long time and thought it was a win-win situation. If he adopted the child, there would be two branches in the future, and Gu Zhuomin would also pay more attention to Liu Feng, so he came to tell the adults.
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "There's nothing wrong with Liu Feng having this uncle to take care of him."
Hu Xia blinked his eyes. He hadn't heard that Lord Zhou was talking about his uncle, not his cousin. With Lord Zhou's words, he felt more confident. "Yes, there is an elder above who is helping with the plan. It's good for Liu Feng."
He knew that he was no match for Gu Liufeng. Gu Liufeng had a hard time in the Ministry of Rites, but nothing serious happened. That was Gu Liufeng's ability. A small family like theirs needed to stick together.
Zhou Shuren went home and told his wife, "Gu Zhuomin had wanted to be adopted for a long time, but he didn't have the chance. He didn't stop the Gu family from going to the capital several times, so he had a plan in mind."
Zhu Lan, "It should be said that Gu Zhuomin has long wanted to tear apart Grandpa Liu Feng's branch. He has been in charge of it all the time because of Liu Feng. Now that he has adopted him, he can relax a little."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Gu Zhuomin is a capable and shrewd person, but he is sometimes petty. He is generous and open-minded."
"Don't you think about his career? He is used to doing things this way, so don't expect too much from him."
"Okay, but it's indeed a good thing for Liu Feng."
The next day, Zhulan went to the Song family. Song Lan's mother Liu held Zhulan's hand affectionately and said, "You haven't been here for a long time."
"I'm busy too. It's autumn harvest time and there are too many things to deal with at home."
Liu pulled Zhulan to sit beside her and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you have four daughters-in-law. It would be great if they were busy. Look how free I am."
Zhulan spread her hands, "You think I don't want to? My eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and my second son is not at home. I can't push it to my second daughter-in-law. My third daughter-in-law has to take care of the little one who was born this year. My fourth daughter-in-law has a huge dowry, and she is busier than me."
When Liu heard this, she asked, "Where is your granddaughter?"
Zhulan, "Each branch has its own property. This year my second son is not at home, so my eldest granddaughter is in charge of the second branch's property, and my second granddaughter is also in charge of the first branch's property. You can imagine that I am the only one who is busy this year."
Liu thought about it carefully, "And what about your daughter?"
"She has to join forces with her dowry manor first."
Liu was speechless this time, "No one in your family is idle."
"I think it's better to be busy. A busy day gives you something to look forward to."
Liu pushed the fruit plate in front of her over and said, "You should find a few capable housekeepers to save yourself from the trouble."
"I want to train my granddaughter's ability as a housekeeper, so that she can do everything herself, and she won't be fooled by the servants when she gets married and manages her dowry."
"I really admire you. Girls born in your family are blessed."
Zhulan felt the same way. "It's hard for girls. Dowry is a lifeline, so you can't be careless. By the way, why did you ask me to come? There are only two posts. If you really have something urgent, why don't you come to me?"
Liu played with the fan and said, "I want to go find you, but I can't leave. My mother-in-law is not feeling well, and I have to stay with her all the time."
"Is the old lady feeling better now?"
"He's much better now. He can eat porridge now. He needs to be nursed back to health."
