Chapter 260 Not Good

Zhulan digested the news, and asked, "Does the servant of the Yun family who found know the whereabouts of the housekeeper?"

Mrs. Zhao was in a daze. After listening to her mother-in-law's questioning, she recovered from the news that her mother was remarried again, and clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, waiting for her father-in-law to reply.

Zhou Shuren said: "Steward Qian is a native of Pingzhou. The Yun family has left. Steward Qian took his family back to his hometown, Qianjia Village, which is about an hour's drive away from Pingzhou."

Zhulan was surprised, she thought it would take a lot of trouble to find someone, but she never expected that Zhao Bo helped to find out, and it was so easy to find someone in just two days, Zhulan couldn't help but think, probably not the protagonist , so there are not so many twists and turns to toss.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was still in a daze, Zhulan asked Changyi, "I didn't expect to find someone so soon. When are you planning to go to Qian's Village?"

Zhou Lao Er has considered all kinds of possibilities, but he never considered that his mother-in-law will remarry. This disrupted the plan. Originally, he discussed with his wife, saved up money to redeem her, and then rented a small yard for his mother-in-law to live in. Now it’s cheaper Father-in-law, oh, no, according to what father said, cheap father-in-law is a big family, and mother-in-law is going to be a stepmother!

Zhou Laoer looked at his wife, come on, the wife hasn't digested the news yet, she has been dazed for a long time, and probably will take a while to accept it.

Zhou Lao Er supported his wife and said: "Father, mother, let's go back and discuss it first, and come back later."

Zhulan, "Go back!"

Mrs. Zhao is a thoughtful person, so she has to think for a while.

Zhulan waited for Zhou Lao Er and his wife to go out, and said, "There must be other news. Now that they are gone, we can tell."

Zhou Shuren knew that he couldn't hide it from Zhulan, "There is indeed news, heck, Mrs. Zhao's mother entered the mansion with pregnancy and gave birth to a boy. She is three years old this year, and Steward Qian's family has a lot of people. There are only three sons. It's good, especially since the stepsons are grown up and Mrs. Zhao doesn't have a family, life probably won't be very good."

Zhulan calculated the age of Mrs. Zhao's mother. Mrs. Zhao is twenty-two this year, and Mrs. Zhao's mother should be about thirty-seven or eighty-eight. A boy was born three years ago, which is an old-fashioned mother. It's okay."

Zhou Shuren, "Zhao Bo didn't mention it, so it should be fine."

Zhulan sighed, "Zhao's mother's life is really bad. The former husband sold her, and the later husband has a big family, and the son is young. This life is really hard."

"It's better than selling yourself as a slave and putting your life in someone else's hands.

"

Zhulan thought about it, but then she became worried again, "Zhao's mother married Steward Qian, probably the housekeeper immediately fell in love with her, so she didn't bring her back to the mansion. Zhao's mother was sold for more than 30 years, and she is still charming. Cun, it is conceivable that Mrs. Zhao will not be bad as a daughter, the Qian family is a mess, and anyone who can be a housekeeper is smart, so it may not be a good thing to recognize relatives."

Zhou Shuren naturally thought of it, "Wait a while and see what Changyi has to say."

He also wanted to test his second child to see if he could think of this.

Zhulan rolled her eyes and curled her mouth, "I have a way."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows and asked, "What way?"

He really doesn't have a good solution, mainly because he is a scholar, if he is a scholar, he can hold down cheap in-laws, borrowing strength is always not a common thing, it is more reliable to have his own ability.

Zhulan said mysteriously: "Secret."

After a while, Zhou Laoer came by himself, and Zhou Laoer said: "Father, I discussed it with Mrs. Zhao. I will go to Qianjia Village first. If my mother-in-law is doing well, we will meet after Dad wins the exam." .”

He also thought that both Chang Lian and Chang Zhi were admitted as scholars, and there were three scholars in one subject. Chang Lian and Chang Zhi were young and very intimidating, but they didn't have much confidence in whether the two younger brothers could pass the exam. In other words, he believes that his father can win the exam.

Zhou Shuren was very satisfied with Zhou Erer's thoughtfulness, "What if life is not good?"

Elder Zhou saluted, "We've thought about it. Mrs. Zhao wanted to slap her face, but my son didn't agree. The son didn't dislike Mrs. Zhao for hurting his face, but if the son couldn't protect his wife, the son would feel incompetent, so the son thought about it." The method is that the daughters of Wang and Lao’s family are getting more and more beautiful day by day, my son has observed that the girls are very good at makeup, so I wonder if I can fake the disfigurement on Mrs. Zhao’s face.”

Zhulan looked at Zhou Laoer, she really didn't expect that Zhou Laoer would observe the changes of Wang Ru's girls, and thought of a way from the changes, which was consistent with her thinking.

Seeing Zhulan's reaction, Zhou Shuren knew that Zhulan was thinking of the same way, and asked Zhou Er Er, "Since you have a way, why do you wait until after the Zhongju to recognize each other?"

Zhou Lao Er explained, "If my son wants to be a housekeeper, he is also the housekeeper of a merchant's family. He must have a lot of scheming, and Juren is more able to hold him down."

Zhou Shuren is satisfied, Zhou Laoer can think of these things very well, he used to be confined to his hometown, but now in the city, Zhou Laoer will get better experience, "Since you have an idea, let's do it according to your ideas, what's the matter?" You need to come find me again."

Hearing that his father was satisfied with him, Zhou Er Er felt relieved, afraid that his father would still remember what he interrupted, "Father, then I will go to Qianjia Village tomorrow to inquire."

"Yep."

Although the Zhou family didn't know about Mrs. Zhao's search for a mother, from Mrs. Zhao's dazed appearance, they also knew that something was wrong with the second wife, but they didn't know what it was.

The next day, Zhou Laoer left without having breakfast. Zhou Laoer rented the carriage yesterday afternoon. Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao stuffed some pastries, fearing that Zhou Laoer would be hungry.

Mrs. Zhao was absent-minded about breakfast, but Mrs. Li wanted to ask, but was stopped by Mrs. Dong.

Zhulan took a look at Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Dong has been very close to Mrs. Li these days, and she has mentioned Mrs. Li in private. Both of them are daughters-in-law, Mrs. Dong's points are sometimes more useful than hers Many, because Li's understanding is different from different perspectives.

The effect is also remarkable. Li Shi has become more stable at home, and knows what to ask and what not to ask.

After the meal, Zhou Shuren went to sleep, and today is the day for Jiang Ming to take a rest.

Zhulan was at home, and Mrs. Wu and Li brought Wu Yan to the house. Mrs. Wu and Li brought a lot of door-to-door gifts, including two big fish and some meat in the basket.

Zhulan saw that it was heavy enough in the door, and she came to the door for something, "Auntie just said something, why are you taking so many gifts?"

Mrs. Wu Li was not surprised that Mrs. Yang saw that she actually wanted to come a long time ago, but she was abrupt last time, and she was a little embarrassed to come here, so she waited for a few days to forget about it before coming to the door. She pulled her granddaughter and said, "Auntie is indeed If you need anything, you know that I can cook, and the only thing I can hand over to a girl is cooking. For female celebrities, I can only sew clothes, not embroidery. Knowing that your family has a capable embroiderer, I don't want to be able to give pointers to my girl, so I came to the door with the cheek."

Zhulan smiled, "I wondered what it was, it turned out to be a guide, it's not a big deal, it's just that something happened at home recently, auntie, let Wu Yan and Xuehan lay the foundation first, and then come and learn how to do it after the government has tried it." ?”

Zhulan only agreed when she saw Mrs. Zhao's invisible nod, otherwise, she would not have responded so happily, so she must ask Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Wu and Li rejoiced, "Of course it's good. Auntie thanked you."

Mrs. Wu and Li sat for a while and got up to say goodbye. Although she is not going out to help now, she still has a lot of work at home.

Zhulan sent Mrs. Wu and Li away, returned to the main room, and stopped Mrs. Zhao who was about to go back to the house, "Wait a minute, mother has something to tell you."
