Chapter 1478 Miss Zhou 4

The Zhou family, because of the donation of food and goods caused by Zhulan holding a painting appreciation banquet, several families sent old clothes and food to the Zhouhou Mansion, and the two Ninghou Mansions alone sent three carts of old clothes and four carts of old clothes. food.

This is not the entire Ning family, but the amount of the two Houfu.

The Wang family has fewer, and there are not many old clothes for the servants, and the old clothes of the family have to be left for younger brothers and sisters to wear. Of course, for the sake of decency, they usually don't wear them in the mansion after they are 50% old.

The old clothes of the servants are not taken for nothing, they are converted into silver money, and the master's clothes cannot be donated. The cloth is graded, and the children can't wear it if donated.

With the increase of masters in the Zhou family, there are also many servants, and some family members have children. The Zhou family has been having a lot of happy events these years, and there are many opportunities for servants to double their monthly money in a year, and they all have some family background.

After Zhulan's family looked at the clothes, the old clothes of Zhou's servants were the best, basically 70% of them were new, followed by 65% ​​of Ninghou's mansion, and then Wang's.

The focus of Zhulan is on the family. The Yu family suffered a catastrophe in the previous dynasty. It is said that the accumulated wealth of the family was confiscated. When they returned to Dingzhou, they kept a low profile. They should have hidden their way out, otherwise the Yu family would not have developed so well.

Fifty percent of the old clothes of the Yu family's servants are new, and the quantity is not much. The Yu family just came to Beijing, and the servants did not bring much. Instead, they donated five carts of food, and there were actually two carts of fine grain.

Boss Zhou stood beside his mother, reaching out to touch the fine grains, "New rice."

It's still new grain without old rice, and now there are very few new grains in the market, and the Yu family has made a big deal.

Zhulan said: "The Yu family took this opportunity to thank our family."

"Thank you for our family?"

"Well, I don't invite the Yu family. The Yu family can't participate in good deeds and get a good name. If the good deeds are brought to the Yu family, Mrs. Yu can quickly integrate into the circle of women in the capital through me."

Who did she invite? The Ning family is the Empress Dowager's family, the Wang family is a powerful family, the Ran family is the concubine Ran's mother's family, and the eldest princess's relatives. Encountered, will take care of a little bit.

The Yu family naturally wants to thank them, and hope that the leader of the Zhou family will look better by sending more food.

Boss Zhou thought about the taste, "Yu's family is transparent."

"The Yu family can come to Beijing again, and the Yu family can understand everything. It's all right. After you register here, send it to the household department. Master Zhang will accept it."

Zhou Lao said: "Mother, you have been out for a while, the weather is very cold, you go back and rest."

Zhulan didn't go back, and continued to explain, "You send someone to Zhuangzi to pick some vegetables, and then catch some geese to send to a few families. Everyone will let our family take the lead in gaining fame. Let's return some gifts. Gifts are not important. .”

Boss Zhou understood, but his tone was hesitant, "Mother, my son has left some geese to lay eggs, and there are not many to catch and eat."

Zhulan sighed, "I also know who made the goose a rarity, just watch and catch it."

Several families are people with Zhuangzi. There are sheep and pigs in Zhuangzi. There may not be big geese, even if there are not many, they will be eaten up long ago. Unlike Zhou's family, because Shuren likes to eat geese, Zhuangzi raises geese. Quite a few, still in stock.

Boss Zhou is very precious to his family's geese, "Mother, I'll go and see for myself later."

Now he is very precious to Zhuangzi's living creatures. The sheep cannot move, and the sheep have to keep their cubs for breeding. There are still a few pigs that can be killed, but there are quite a few chickens and ducks. Yes, there are also Zhuangzi's big cows, which cannot be killed. ah.

Boss Zhou pursed his lips, he hadn't eaten fresh beef for a long time, hey, his family contributed too much to the imperial court's breeding.

In the household department, Boss Zhou received by Zhang Jinghong, "Why did the prince come in person?"

"I'm the happiest at home, so I came here in person. Is my father here?"

Zhang Jinghong glanced at the vehicles, hey, there are quite a few, "Master Shangshu will stay in the palace and has not left the palace yet."

As soon as Boss Zhou heard that his father was not there, he hurried to Zhuangzi, and asked, "Master Zhang, this is a list. Where do you think it is?"

Zhang Jinghong cleared out a few rooms a long time ago, "Your Majesty, please."

Boss Zhou motioned for the boy who moved things to follow, and when they all moved down, "Then I'll go back first."

Zhang Jinghong personally sent him out of the gate of the household department, "My son, go slowly."

Boss Zhou took so many carriages to the household department,

It's very eye-catching in the capital. Boss Zhou didn't come home, and those who inquired about the news already knew about the donation of old clothes.

Because of Zhou Shuren's proposal in the early court, some people laughed at Zhou Shuren's hypocrisy, some admired the Zhou family, and then there was no more, no one donated anything.

Zhou Shuren went out of the palace in the afternoon. He had lunch with the Supreme Emperor at noon. When he returned to the household department, he saw a room full of old clothes. The clothes that came, there are not many cotton clothes, most of them are summer clothes.

Zhou Shuren already knew in his heart that the emperor used money from his private treasury to set up an orphanage. Who would let the emperor name it? It would not look good if the money was not released, so he took out 20,000 taels of silver in one go. With this money, he can do a lot of things.

At the Yu family, Liu's smile deepened when he saw the gift from Zhou Hou's mansion. The Zhou family was willing to take it home, and the return gift was proof, "Try the dishes from Zhuangzi of Zhou Hou's mansion tonight."

The Yu family had just entered Beijing, and there was a war last year. There was no Zhuangzi near the capital for sale, and the price of the Zhuangzi had skyrocketed. The Yu family currently does not have a Zhuangzi in the capital, and their foundation is still in Dingzhou.

This year, due to food shortages, it will be even more difficult to buy green vegetables in the capital. Yu’s family has a lot of money, and there are few green vegetables that can be bought with money. Today, I am happy to see green vegetables. It is too sad to have no green vegetables in winter, especially for people living in For my family in the south.

Mr. Yu's wife, Bai Shi, "Mother, is there any marriage with the granddaughter of Lord Zhou?"

Liu looked at the eldest daughter-in-law, "You mean Miss Zhou?"

Bai nodded, "Yes, Miss Thursday, what do you think?"

Mrs. Liu is naturally very satisfied. Ms. Zhou is good in character and appearance, but she has never thought about her son. How should I put it, I don't think Miss Zhou is bad, but she is too good. That's what the queen praised. Miss Zhou's own father is also amazing, the master even praised him last year.

As for her own son, no matter how partial Liu was to her own son, she had to admit that his son smiled foolishly, no matter how he felt that he was not good enough for him, the eldest daughter of the third house of the Zhou family, Miss Zhou Si, could become the clan's wife.

Bai's heart is also awkward, and she doesn't want to find a powerful younger sibling to come in, but Yu's family has been away from the capital for too many years, and Yu's family is almost in Dingzhou, not to mention covering the sky with one hand, but they encounter obstacles everywhere in Beijing.

Mrs. Bai remembered that Xianggong said that the Yu family was not tricked because of Zhou Hou's words. Is there a more suitable in-law than the Zhou family?

Bai thought for a while and said, "Mother, the temperament of the second younger brother needs a lady who can be in charge of the family."

Mrs. Liu said quietly: "You and I said lightly, that is Zhouhou's mansion, or Zhouhou's mansion that can be hereditary. Lord Hou has power, and his son is also promising. There are many aristocratic families who are staring at Miss Zhou. .”

Bai Shi choked, that's right, Zhouhou's mansion may not be able to look up to the Yu family, Bai Shi was depressed, so he didn't mention it anymore.
