Chapter 1314 Blessing
The next day in the capital, Zhulan ate breakfast alone, yesterday when Mrs. Dong came back, Yuyi and Yujiao went back to live in the third room.
Zhulan's breakfast is very simple, not extravagant and wasteful at all, she will tell Qingxue in advance what she wants for breakfast every day, sometimes buns and porridge with pickles, or small wonton noodles.
Today's breakfast is vegetable porridge with pickles and a boiled egg. It's a very simple breakfast.
Each house of the Zhou family followed suit, and they never set up a large table for breakfast, serving as much as they wanted.
After breakfast, Zhulan asked Qingxue, "How did Mingling rest yesterday?"
Qingxue knew that the mistress would ask, so she went to ask early in the morning, "Young master Mingling was tired from playing yesterday, and slept heavily all night, and he hasn't woken up yet."
Zhulan smiled, "Children sleep a lot, so they have to wait a while to wake up."
Now she has two little grandchildren, Ming Ling is a bit older than Ming Feng, but Ming Ling is not as big as Ming Feng, and the premature birth has a great impact on the children, making her feel that Ming Ling is the youngest one.
Bamboo Orchid went around the garden, cut some flowers in the glass flower shed and came back to arrange flowers. With the appearance of glass vases, Zhulan especially likes flower arrangement.
When Mrs. Dong came, the bamboo orchid had already finished arranging flowers, and she waved to Mingling with a smile, "Mingling, come to grandma."
I am no stranger today, the little guy has taken the initiative a lot, and even shouted, "Grandma."
Zhulan hugged her grandson and kissed her, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
The little guy nodded, "I ate a big bun and drank some rice porridge."
Zhulan looked at the size of the little guy's strokes with a smile, and said in surprise: "It's so big, so I really have to eat less."
The little guy rubbed his belly, "full."
Zhulan's heart, it feels like Changlian has returned to his childhood.
Dong's brows were brisk, she was worried in Xuzhou, Mingling didn't grow up in the capital, whether her mother-in-law would be a stranger to Mingling, now she feels that she is mediocre, and her mother-in-law likes children.
Zhoujiacun, today Ran Wan and her husband are going to Lijiacun to meet her grandparents. Ran Wan is not unconfident. She wants to show her best side and prove her identity as the granddaughter-in-law of Zhou's parents.
Seeing his wife dressed up, Mingyun
With gentle eyes, "Shall we go?"
With a smile on the corner of Ran Wan's mouth, she stretched out her hand, "Yes."
The young couple went to Lijia Village in a carriage. Today they will stay in Lijia Village for a day. When they come back tomorrow morning, they will not stay in Zhoujia Village. They will go to Pingzhou City after two days of rest. The time is quite fast.
In Li Family Village, Ran Wan got off the carriage, and was stunned when faced with the huge population of the Li Family. There were many people standing in front of the gate of the house, and Ran Wan just glanced at the two elderly people in front.
It's just that the two old people were very cramped and didn't intend to speak.
Ran Wan tried her best to soften herself, let go of her husband's hand and stepped forward, "Ran Wan has met grandpa and grandma."
Li's mother knew that her grandson-in-law was coming back, so she was worried. Even though the girl said that her grandson-in-law was very good, she still knew who she was from the official family and who the Li family was. She was afraid that the grandson-in-law would look down on them.
Now it seems that her worries are as superfluous as written in her daughter's letter.
Seeing the slender hands supporting her, Li Shiniang couldn't hide the smile on her lips, "Okay, okay, let's go in and talk."
Ran Wan continued: "I heard from my mother that you and grandpa went to pick mushrooms on the mountain in person. I have been thinking about it. Grandma should pay more attention to her health in the future. Mother and we are very worried about the road on the mountain."
Mrs. Li is old enough to feel whether she is sincere or not. This granddaughter-in-law really doesn't dislike her and really cares about her, "Okay, listen to you."
Mingyun is not far from his wife, and his grandmother's voice is so loud that it's hard for him not to listen.
Old man Li stretched out his thumb to his grandson, and said in a soft voice: "You are blessed."
Ming Yun smiled and nodded, "Yes."
In the imperial palace of the capital, the emperor called the prince, "The recent homework is good."
The prince didn't believe that his father only came to him for his homework, "The son has to learn from the father, and the son still has many shortcomings."
The emperor was very satisfied with the prince's attitude, and beckoned the prince to sit down, and pushed the nuts in front of him to the prince, "Now there are a lot of vacancies in the south, who do you think I will send to the south?"
The prince knew that he was being tested again, and while peeling nuts, he said: "My son feels that the family needs the family to appease him. Officials from the family will account for most of the vacant official positions in the south."
Your Majesty, "Continue."
The prince rolled his eyes, "The rest are naturally the officials that the emperor wants to train."
Now the south is being cleaned up, but too many people have been placed in the past, and the interests of the local aristocratic families are being moved, which is still very dangerous. Only officials who are really rooted in the south are the officials that the emperor really needs.
The emperor was satisfied, "Yes, do you have anyone you want to recommend?"
The prince didn't even think about it, "The third son of Zhou Shangshu."
He didn't mention that this is also the person that the emperor must send to the south, um, just a trick.
The emperor glared at his son, stretched out his hand and snatched the peeled pine nuts. Seeing his son's eyes widen, hmph, the brat is too tender.
In Zhoujia Village, Jiang Sheng and Xuemei didn't go directly to Jiang's house, but went to find a famous matchmaker in the county, and visited the elders of Zhou's clan, and then went to Jiang's house after choosing a date.
Although he didn't come to the door officially, it didn't prevent Jiang Sheng from going to the clan school to meet Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was finishing class, "I was just going to look for you."
Jiang Sheng, "You and I thought about getting together. I read an article of yours, so I always wanted to ask you in person."
Jiang Ming waved his hand, "I submitted a lot of articles, and only one short story was selected, but your articles and paintings made me suddenly enlightened."
Jiang Sheng pointed at the stone table, "Shall we sit there?"
Jiang Ming nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Sheng said as he walked: "This time the ethnology has changed a lot. I think it took a lot of money to build a pavilion and a small garden."
Jiang Ming replied, "No money was spent, it was all donated. You also know that the Zhou family has a rich collection of books on ethnology. This is all thanks to Lord Shangshu, so many people came to study and donated a lot of things."
Jiang Sheng also grew a beard, but it was not as long as his father-in-law's. He stroked his short beard, "But it should be moderate."
Jiang Ming, "Ming and Qing knew what they were doing, and they controlled it well."
He has also been an official for many years, and he will speak up if it is too much. It seems that Ming and Qing have done a good job.
In the capital, Zhulan didn't come here yesterday in a hurry to discuss Yuyi with Mrs. Dong, but she said today, "A year ago Princess Qi was a matchmaker and wanted to introduce a child from the Yun family to Yuyi or Yuwen. It's over."
After a pause, he continued: "You just returned to Beijing and didn't know that your daughter became famous in the first battle. Let me tell you about the situation that day."
As she said that, Zhulan told the story of the flower feast.
