Chapter 254 It's a Pity

Zhulan was puzzled and said, "Auntie, if you have something to say, you can just speak up."

Wu Lishi said to Wu Yan beside him: "You haven't seen Xuehan for a long time, you go out to play."

As soon as Zhulan heard that she didn't want the children to hear it, after the two little girls had gone out, Zhulan said: "Auntie can talk this time."

Wu Lishi was a little embarrassed to open it, and then thought of her grandson's confidence, "Xuehan is also nine years old this year, what do you think of my Wu Ming?"

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

Recalling carefully, she never mentioned Xuehan's engagement. Xuehan and Wu Yan have a good relationship, even if they are young girls, they would not mention engagement. And ask her so directly!

Zhulan felt a little complacent. Except for her status, Xuehan was no worse than Miss in other respects. Seeing Mrs. Wu and Li waiting for an answer, she smiled dryly, "Xuehan got engaged in the winter of the year before last."

Counting her age, Mrs. Wu Li said in surprise, "The marriage was decided too early."

She is really optimistic about girl Xuehan. The little girl is more stable than her granddaughter. Not only is she blessed to grow up, but she also behaves generously. With the presence of Yang's mother, the little girl must have a lot of success in her heart. She is really I don't care about Xuehan, otherwise I wouldn't have asked directly because of Xuehan's young age. It's a pity that Xuehan made an appointment early. I thought that even if I mentioned it last year, Xuehan would also be engaged. I can only sigh in my heart that there is no fate.

Zhulan explained: "Being engaged is also due to fate."

Seeing that Zhulan didn't intend to introduce her son-in-law, Mrs. Wu and Li wanted to know who was married, but Mrs. Yang didn't mention it, so she couldn't ask.

Zhulan thought to herself, even if she was not engaged, she would not agree with Wu Ming. Whoever made Wu Ming have a bright future is because of his too strong abilities. Who knows if there will be concubines in the future? What if he bullies his daughter? ?

It's better for Rong Chuan, although his background is unknown now, but he was raised by himself, he has kindness, and Rong Chuan knows how to repay his kindness, and he will not let Xuehan down in the future.

When women in ancient times received education, they also hoped that their husbands would be their own. If they could think about it, there would be no house fights. House fights were not only for the benefit of their children, but also because they were jealous and unwilling.

Except for those who really don't care, there are a few women who are willing to share their husbands!

Because of Xuehan's engagement, she was a little embarrassed, and she didn't have much time to chat, so Zhulan left early.

on the way home,

Li looked left and right, Zhulan laughed, "Didn't you see enough on the way here?"

Li's tone was excited, "Mother, the city of Zhou is different. I won't talk about the many shops along the way. Look at the courtyards on both sides. They are more imposing than those in the county."

Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart, she really didn't see any imposing manner, the buildings in the north house are basically the same, the only difference is the size of the house, Li's is fresh these two days, and she won't feel the difference in a few days.

Zhulan was not in a hurry to go home, so she took Mrs. Li to the market. Mrs. Li was going to buy vegetables in the future, so she just knew the way.

I walked around the market and bought fish and tofu.

Mrs. Li was distressed, "Mother, the vegetable market in Zhoucheng is no different. The things they sell are similar to those in the county. Why are they more expensive than in the county? Fish is one penny more expensive than in the county, and tofu is half as expensive." Aren’t money the same thing?”

Mrs. Li thought quickly, when she came to Pingzhou, her family had no vegetable garden, wouldn't she have to spend money to buy it in the future, and the monthly expenditure was several times that of her hometown.

Zhulan saw that Mrs. Li was listless, "What are you thinking about?"

Li's heart ached, "Mother, Pingzhou is not particularly good."

Everyone said that the city is good, and she was looking forward to it, but she really came here to calculate the expenses, and her heart was bleeding. Now in her eyes, Pingzhou City is a place where money is swallowed, and she couldn't help but hold her purse .

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

She really couldn't keep up with Li's brain circuit, she didn't know why she was clutching her purse like she was afraid of losing it!

When she got home, Mrs. Li hurriedly asked Boss Zhou to make a box and get soil, and she wanted to grow vegetables.

It was only then that Zhulan understood why Mrs. Li was covering her purse, because she felt that the city was spending a lot of money.

At noon, I had the leftover meat dishes from yesterday, cut some pickles, and had a meal.

In the afternoon Zhulan woke up from a nap, Changlian and Dong Shi came back from their visit, Zhulan went out of the room and saw the gift box on the table in the main hall, it was Dong's sister's return gift.

Zhulan called to Mrs. Dong, who opened the door and came over with a smile, "Mother, you're awake."

Zhulan drank tea and moistened her throat, "En."

Mrs. Dong knew why her mother called her, she had been waiting for her mother-in-law to wake up, and said, "These are return gifts from my sister and brother-in-law, specially for father and mother."

"There are too many of these."

She just counted six boxes.

Dong said: "These are for parents. I took them for me and Changlian. Mother, my brother-in-law likes wolf fur very much, and I'm talking about my parents' troubles. This is all my sister and brother-in-law's wishes. Mother, you Just take it!"

Zhulan thought that there would be a gift in return, but she didn't expect there to be so many, this is not for Changlian and Dong Shi, after all, she is her own sister, these gifts also have the meaning of supporting Dong Shi!

Zhulan said: "Thank you sister for me, then mother will take it."

If someone didn't send a post, she wouldn't come to the door eagerly to thank her, as if she was relying on Jiang's family, which is annoying.

"I have already thanked my sister and brother-in-law. My sister will let my mother and I participate in tea in the future!"

Zhulan kept smiling, looked at these words, and told her that she didn't need to come to thank her, she would be invited to a meeting in the future, Zhulan said: "Mother doesn't know much about tea, but you can just go."

As a talented lady, she is not enough cannon fodder to attend the tea party of the official's wife. As for Dong's own sister, she will naturally take care of her. She doesn't want to be looked down upon.

Mrs. Dong already knew that her mother-in-law would say that. Her parents-in-law are not careless people. At the same time, she sighed at the difficulty of her sister's second marriage. Up to now, all the officials and wives in Zhoucheng are talking about her sister.

However, today she is very happy. Her parents-in-law gave her gifts for her visit, especially two good wolf skins. My brother-in-law likes it very much. It also gives my sister a face. She didn't come to the door to fight the autumn wind. It was indeed a visit, and my brother-in-law looked at it Missed the husband and wife's family!

Since I didn't embarrass my sister, my sister was also happy, so the gift was naturally generous, and of course it also meant to support her.

Zhulan was embarrassed to open a present in front of her daughter-in-law, but fortunately, Mrs. Dong was very winking, "Mother, I'm going back to sort out my sister's gift in return. I'm going back to the house first."

"Okay, let's go back."

Zhulan waited for Mrs. Dong to go back, and then opened the box. Among the six boxes, the largest box contained decorations. Zhulan didn't know much about decorations, but Wupin Tongzhi's gifts would definitely not be cheap. One box contains two hairpins inlaid with jade, one box contains a pair of jade bracelets that look okay, and the remaining three boxes contain a piece of fine ink and two brushes that look expensive.

The six boxes were indeed for her and Zhou Shuren.

As for the rest of the family, after all, their status and status are different, and Dong's sister doesn't need to worry about covering everything.

Zhulan put all the jewelry in the box into the jewelry box, she has more and more jewelry, she is also a layman and she is happy to see it.

Zhou Shuren didn't come back for dinner at night, Zhulan was thinking about it, the ancient times were bad, there was no mobile phone, and she was thinking about asking, but she didn't know where to find someone. Looking at the darker and darker sky outside, she could only think about it .

Zhulan couldn't control her feet, and went to the front yard several times.

Boss Zhou followed mother, and he also missed father, "Mother, why don't I go out and look for it?"

Zhulan, "Where are you going to find it? It's fine, don't worry about it, your father will be back in a while."

Boss Zhou, "..."

Mother, when you said this, you went back to the backyard. You are here thinking about it and you will not go back. He is not only thinking about father, but also about mother.

He has a different idea from Li Shi. Li Shi thinks that spending more in Pingzhou is not as good as staying in his hometown. He is still knowledgeable. People go to high places, and they are comfortable in their hometown, but they also cut off the opportunity to go up. Now that his father hasn't come back, he feels guilty that he can't help him as a son.

Zhulan's ears moved, and she walked quickly to the gate, Zhulan felt that Zhou Shuren was back.

When I opened the gate, I saw a carriage or a person. Boss Zhou looked carefully and said, "Mother, Dad didn't come back."

Zhulan felt that Zhou Shuren was back, "Wait a minute, your father is definitely back."
