Chapter 1689 Secret

Just as Zhulan guessed, the new edition of the newspaper can vote for the storybook, and there will be no contribution fee. For those who vote for the storybook, they want to be famous and don't care about the contribution fee.

The new newspaper Zhou Shuren mentioned serialization, because the new newspaper has a few more positions, the management is from the seventh rank, and the others are not in the rank. There are still many rare ones. I use these positions as a springboard. Hope We can be in charge of regular newspaper in future.

In recent years, the newspaper business has flourished, and many people are staring at it. Unfortunately, the emperor does not allow fighting. The emperor tightly holds the Propaganda Department, and the entire department is the emperor's people.

On this day, Xuemei finally returned to Beijing, Zhulan said, "I thought you would return to Beijing in autumn."

Xuemei felt guilty, "Hey, my grandson is clingy, I can't bear it."

So the days are pushed back and forth, and her grandson will definitely get angry when she returns to Beijing.

Zhulan understands the next-generation relatives. In the past, Xuemei and her husband would leave as soon as they wanted to, but now they can't bear to part with their grandson. "Every time Jiang Lei comes, he always says that you don't want to go back to Beijing."

Xuemei felt even more guilty, "I haven't left Beijing for a few years."

"Um?"

Xuemei said: "My in-laws are much older this time, and my husband wants to stay at home to spend more time with the elders."

Zhulan hasn't seen her in-laws for a long time, "It's true that I should spend more time with them."

Xuemei continued: "Father asked Xianggong to send someone back to his hometown to choose a place."

Upon hearing this, Zhulan said, "Take care of yourself."

Xuemei nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xiang wants to take the elder brother's grandson to Beijing by the way."

"Your thoughts?"

"I agree. This time I came back to see my father-in-law's old appearance. I have a lot of feelings in my heart. Of course, what I can accept is the child, and the eldest brother's son is fine."

She agreed to bring a child to the capital to accompany her parents-in-law in order to avoid the regrets of the old couple, and she would not cause trouble for herself.

Xuemei left the meal and said that she would come back in the evening, and she would go home after dinner, as there were still many things to deal with at home.

Zhulan distributed the presents brought back by Xuemei to each room, including some high-quality wood and embroidery.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Li came to the main courtyard, "Mother, is father-in-law's birthday going to be a big event this year?"

Zhulan, "No."

Mrs. Li also talked about some large expenditures in the mansion recently. After hearing this, Zhulan sighed,

"If you want to live a decent life, you can't save all kinds of expenses."

There are many servants in the family, and each servant has a monthly silver. For twelve months a year, family happy events are doubled, and all kinds of food and clothing are spent.

Li's housekeeper has more experience, "Our family has fewer banquets, which saves a lot of expenses."

Zhulan smiled, "It's indeed saved."

Li Shi said: "Officials without family background are sad."

She now goes out to socialize instead of her mother, and sees more, so she admires her mother-in-law the most, which is accumulated by her mother-in-law from the beginning of the Zhou family.

Zhulan suddenly asked, "Didn't Minghui go out recently?"

Mrs. Li is very concerned about Minghui. This kind of attention has been cultivated over the years, "You also find it strange? My daughter-in-law is wondering!"

Zhulan, "It's not like him to be so quiet."

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, "Msanggong has tested it, but nothing came out. I observed him for two days and he was in the study all day."

Zhulan didn't continue to ask, because her grandson has his own ideas when he grows up, it was just strange that she asked just now.

But Mrs. Li became more concerned. She had another conversation with her mother-in-law before leaving. After leaving the yard, she went to Minghui's yard. When Mrs. Li passed through the garden, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Because the second was given to the father-in-law, Zhou Hou's mansion also occupies a large area.

The children in the family have their own yards, and since there are no concubines in each house, there are quite a few empty yards in the mansion.

When Mrs. Li arrived at Minghui's courtyard, the young servant rushed forward when he saw someone, "Ma'am, you are here."

Mrs. Li, "Why spread the news so loudly?"

The boy lowered his head, "Don't dare."

Mrs. Li snorted, but she didn't believe it. At this moment, Minghui came out to welcome her, "Mother, why are you so busy to come and see your son?"

Mrs. Li took a few quick steps to push her son away and entered the study room. After looking around, she found nothing. There was writing on the desk, and asked suspiciously, "What are you hiding?"

Minghui, "Mother, you don't feel at ease when your son is at home, so your son will leave the house tomorrow."

Mrs. Li stared, "Let me know what bad things you did, and see if I won't let your father beat you."

Minghui, "I really didn't do anything bad!"

Mrs. Li reluctantly believed it, she still had work to do and no time to fight wits with her son, even though she couldn't fight, she snorted and took him away.

The next day, Tao brought his daughter-in-law, Lin, to visit. Zhu Lan asked Lin with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing outside?"

Lin replied, "I let you think about it, everything is fine outside."

She has always had a good impression of Aunt Yang, but it is a pity that she did not meet such a good mother-in-law as Aunt Yang, and she is also grateful for her influence on her mother-in-law. Since her mother-in-law and Aunt Yang became friends, her life has become easier.

Dow said, "She brought you a gift, see if you like it."

Zhulan had noticed it a long time ago, "It's embarrassing to still miss me when I come back."

Lin took the box, "You like painting, this is the dye I found, I hope you like it."

Zhulan liked it, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Dow, "As long as you like it."

Subsequent topics revolved around some gossip in the capital, or Zhulan asked about interesting things in the south.

Tao suddenly said: "By the way, the place where Luo's daughter married is the same state where my eldest son works."

Zhulan heard, "The third girl from the Luo family?"

Dow nodded, "Yes."

"What a coincidence."

Dow looked at his daughter-in-law, and Lin said, "Miss Luo San has passed away a long time ago, and there have been many troubles in the family since last year."

Zhulan was surprised, "He passed away?"

Mrs. Lin, "It's been five years since I passed away, and the Ji family has remarried. I don't know what happened last year. The Ji family's remarried lady was ill. This year, Ji's girl returned to Beijing. The Luo family sent someone to pick her up."

Tao said again: "The third daughter of the Luo family gave birth to a daughter."

Zhulan is already able to make up for house fights, "It's not easy to bully."

She didn't mention the person's name, and everyone in the room knew who she was talking about, so Miss Ji has a way.

Just as Tao Shi took Lin Shi away, Yuwen came with a post, "Grandma, the eldest princess invites her granddaughter to go horse racing."

Zhulan, "Pay attention to safety."

Several granddaughters know how to ride horses, and they all learned from Zhuangzi. Yudie's horsemanship is the best. Yuwen doesn't like to move and has never seen her ride a few times.

Yuwen doesn't want to go, but she can't go, whoever made her the head of Anhe County, the eldest princess invites her to go, "Linxi is the happiest."

Zhulan laughed out loud, "She is indeed the happiest, she has been grounded recently!"

Ever since Rong Chuan was not busy, Lin Xi had been spoiled by the sky, the father and daughter teamed up to fight Xue Han, but this time Xue Han was angered, and both father and daughter were grounded at home.

Grandson Ze'er came to reveal that Rong Chuan was sent to sleep in the study!
