Chapter 1812 Only the Sense of Distance Remains

The carriage arrived at the antique calligraphy and painting street, and the carriage could not go in. Chang Zhong got out of the carriage and helped his fiancee down, and said to his fiancee, "Let's go to Jingyi Pavilion first, I heard Mr. Wu said that a batch of antiques have arrived."

Wei Xinyi asked, "Isn't it an antique handled by the household department?"

Changzhong laughed, "It's really an antique handled by the Ministry of Households, so I still need to ask Mr. Wu?"

Wei Xinyi also smiled, "Then let's go and have a look."

The two of them didn't have many visitors to Jingyi Pavilion. When the shopkeeper saw Chang Zhong, his face was full of smiles, "Mr. Zhou, you are here. Recently, a new batch of antiques has arrived. What do you want to see?"

Chang Zhong said: "Take me to see the ornaments."

Wei Xinyi looked at the fan, "You go and see the decoration, I'll go and see the fan."

Chang Zhong said: "Alright."

The two carefully selected the presents and paid the bill. They left Antique Street and wanted to drink tea. They passed by the pawn shop Changzhong and heard the noise. They opened the curtain of the carriage and saw a young man holding a jade pendant and being pushed to the ground.

The coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage, because the men in the carriage of the Hou Mansion did not dare to move, so they looked at each other and quickly returned to the pawn shop.

The boy had already stood up and felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you."

Changzhong opened the car window, "I didn't help you with anything."

"I still have to thank you, otherwise I will definitely be beaten."

Changzhong raised his eyebrows, "I don't think you don't understand, why did you provoke the pawnbroker in a hurry?"

Yang Xiu frowned, "I want to be a jade pendant, but they couldn't resist insulting me for a while."

Changzhong glanced at the jade pendant, how can I put it, the jade pendant can be worth tens of taels in normal trading, but the pawn price is very low, and the household department handles a large number of antique jewelry, so the pawn price is even lower. Deliberately underprice.

Chang Zhong said: "I see that you are also a scholar. I heard that your accent is not from Beijing. What difficulties have you encountered?"

Yang Xiu lowered his head, "I am a student who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and all the money I have on me has been used as compensation, and now I only have this jade pendant given by the master to relieve my emergency."

Changzhong was startled, "You didn't come to Beijing with your companions?"

Yang Xiu pursed his mouth and tensed his chin, and was very arrogant. Chang Zhong asked how old he was, and then he understood. Eyes, "In this way, you bet the jade pendant to me, and wait for you to have silver to redeem it."

In the evening, Changzhong told the fourth brother, Changzhi asked, "Did he bet on you?"

Chang Zhong nodded, "It's not about trying to save face. Although he is young, he's still quick-witted. He wants to continue to refer to it. After suffering a loss, he can grow his memory."

Yang Xiu said that the compensation money was obviously designed by someone, don't think that all the candidates are high-spirited, there are quite a few narrow-minded and vicious ones.

Changzhi had passed Yang Xiu's exam. This is a talented person. He went back to the yard and asked a servant to look after him. In the end, he felt that he was young and had little knowledge.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to the He family to propose a marriage. The He family was very satisfied with Ming Jia. The marriage proposal went smoothly. Ming Jia was like Chang Zhi. Su Xuan personally taught people how to deal with the world. Ming Jia was more tactful than Chang Zhi. favorite.

Now that Mingjia has settled down, Zhulan called Minghui, "I'll give Shao Ting a face, Jiang Ling understands what I mean, what do you think?"

Minghui had a plan in mind, "Grandson wants to wait for the end of Chunwei."

Zhulan didn't care when she got accurate information, "You and your mother agree."

"Grandson understands."

The next day, Zhulan hadn't seen Tao Shi for a long time, "I just watched you lose weight again?"

Dow feels that he has aged a lot, "Our family has lost a lot of weight."

Seeing Tao Shi's face, Zhulan was still a bit sad, "Do you have something to worry about?"

Tao Shi felt panicked, she was indeed a great wife of the Wang clan, but there were also things she didn't like, "It's not because of my unsatisfactory natal family."

Zhulan, "What happened?"

"Well, it was hard for someone to live up to it, but the father didn't care about the stepmother and tortured him. If I hadn't sent someone to send the New Year's gift back in advance, the good child would have disappeared."

Zhulan couldn't stand child abuse no matter in modern times or in ancient times, "how is the child now?"

Dow was very upset.

"I was taken back to Beijing, and now it's raised on my dowry Zhuangzi, hey."

Zhulan comforted, "The child is good, and the Tao family can also look forward to it in the future."

"Heh, good hopes also make them tortured and resentful."

Zhulan, "Do you want to raise it?"

Dow nodded, "Well, I told the master, and the master agreed."

The younger generation of the Tao family wanted to give her a girl, but she didn’t want any of them. It’s better to rely on a woman to raise a man. The son is the foundation of a family. When she thinks of her mother’s family sending a girl to her grandson as a concubine, she feels annoyed and disgusted. .

Zhulan asked, "Since you know what's in your mind, don't worry about it."

Dow sighed, "I can also talk to you."

After a pause, Dow asked, "I heard some news even when I didn't go out, are you really committed to Gu Sheng?"

"You all know what was passed on?"

"You didn't hide it, and we are not blind."

Zhulan smiled, "It's decided, just wait for a good date to propose marriage."

Chang Zhi wouldn't be so high-profile if it wasn't for the southern family's constant visits. The Zhou family didn't want to have anything to do with the southern family.

As a result of spreading the word, Gu Sheng got more attention. Some people wanted to play tricks, but it was a pity that Gu Sheng had two points and one line. He was protected by Zhou Changzhi in the Imperial Academy, so he had no chance to destroy it.

Gu Sheng was also afraid of accidents, so he rejected all the posts he could refuse.

There are dangers but also benefits. If you are more open in the Hanlin Academy, everyone will be polite to him. The only trouble is that Ji Deming is like a dog's skin plaster.

The time passed quickly, and this year's winter didn't feel any better, most of it had passed, and in a blink of an eye, the twelfth lunar month was approaching the end of the year.

The time was getting closer and closer to Chun Wei, Chang Zhong had stopped going out, and he did not forget to come back with a number one examination.

Ming Teng and his wife also returned to Rong'an Hou's Mansion, they will stay in the Hou's Mansion for the first month.

This day Mingteng and his wife came back, Zhulan looked at their clothes, "Where did you come back from?"

Ming Teng replied, "We just came back from Ran Mansion."

Zhulan noticed that her grandson's tone was wrong, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that her husband didn't want to say anything, Liu Jia could only speak up, "Ran Xun's eldest son is gone."

Zhulan hadn't heard the news, and when she thought about it, she realized that the child's death must not be easy. This is a family ugliness, how could Mrs. Qi say it outside, and she could only smother her to death in the back house.

Zhulan sighed that it was not easy for the child to grow up so big, "Why didn't it happen?"

Liu Jia glanced at her husband, "The charcoal fire is not good charcoal, and the child has caught a cold again. We don't know the details, we only know that the child will die in the morning."

Zhulan's heart was heavy. She had seen this child before and gave him a red envelope. The little man was very quiet.

Ming Teng sneered, "Grandma, why do you think people have changed so much?"

Zhulan knew that it was Ran Xun who was talking about, and the gap between Xindao's friends was too big, leaving only a sense of distance, "You?"

Ming Teng knew in his heart that he and Ran Xun couldn't go back. He wanted to comfort Ran Xun, but Ran Xun said that he didn't understand everything. His heart was burning like fire, and he took his wife away directly. Shouldn't have passed.
