Chapter 262 Evidence
Zhulan looked at Zhou Laoer's return gift when he moved into the house. The meat in the basket was mutton, which was all processed. The basket was full, and the bones and meat were almost a sheep. There were also red dates and so on. To make up for the body.
There is a lot of food, there are two boxes, open the box, a pair of decorations, and a calligraphy and painting, and two cloaks in the big cloth bag. It's fox fur, and Mrs. Zhao is still holding a box in her hand.
This gift in return far exceeds the value they sent in the past!
The Zhou family was stunned, no matter how they should get back so many gifts!
Boss Zhou asked, "Second brother, what's going on?"
Zhou Laoer sold off, picked up the ornament, "Mother, does the ornament look familiar to you?"
Zhulan took the ornaments and took a look, "Isn't this similar to the pair of ornaments you gave me?"
The biggest difference is the color.
Zhou Laoer said: "Mother, the Yun family makes porcelain vases, and every year they make a batch of unique designs for officials in Pingzhou. Steward Qian remembers that when he saw the ornaments I sent, he knew it was Mr. Jiang's family. Yes, after asking why the ornaments were at our house, they were very polite to us, and that's why we got so many gifts in return."
Mrs. Zhao opened the box in her hand, "Mother, this is the dowry that Mr. Qian gave me."
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that, when she came back after recognizing her relatives and a cheap father, she felt that she was worthy of being a housekeeper, she was valuable, not only recognized her but also made up the dowry, she was really good at calculating.
Zhulan glanced at it, and there was a pair of jade bracelets in the box, which looked okay, and the two gold hairpins, and a pair of gold bracelets, looked quite eye-catching. Manager Qian invested only after seeing the benefits, but she He also had a rough estimate of the money in the hands of the money steward.
The Qian family must have a lot of money, and there must be a lot of greed from the master's house. The calligraphy and paintings are the best evidence.
The dowry given by the Qian family to the Zhao family was dazzling, but actually to the Qian family, it was a drop in the bucket. Qian Guan had calculations engraved in his bones. The Qian family is good, I didn't wake up, the Zhou family has official in-laws, and they will not be bad in the future, the Qian family will not lose money no matter what.
Mrs. Li stared at the dowry of her younger brother and sister. Well, she could still suppress her younger brother and sister, but now her younger brother and sister have more private houses than her, and she has become the bottom of the family. She was worried for nothing.
Dong's frown quickly relaxed again,
In my heart, I despise the Qian family, the housekeeper of the merchant's family, even if he returns to freedom and becomes a farmer, he is good at calculating. Fortunately, the Qian family is clear-headed.
Boss Zhou frowned, he didn't like the Qian family, first he bullied his younger siblings, but now that he had something to rely on, he compensated with money, too much for profit.
Chang Lian considered it from his father's point of view, the cheap relatives of the Qian family are not worry-free, and they are not relatives who can be deeply friends.
Zhulan signaled Mrs. Zhao to put away the box, "It seems that your mother will be able to live a happy life in the future."
Mrs. Zhao closed the box, "Yes, the sons and daughters-in-law of the Qian family have all lost their money, and they promise to respect my mother like their own mother in the future."
Mrs. Zhao thought of what her mother had said to her alone. Mother was reluctant to part with her three-year-old brother, because mother knew that she was gone. The younger brother was a child of the Qian family. Mother doesn't want to burden her.
Mother is always thinking about her children, never thinking about herself. Thinking of this, her heart twitches.
Back then, father was good at the beginning, he was good to mother, and he was also good to her, but the bad thing was that one winter, father hurt his waist in order to pull mother who was about to fall into the river, and it would be difficult to have any more children in the future. It's not good, especially the child that my mother was pregnant with at the time was gone, and it was said to be a boy.
This is also because my mother was sold, and I told her not to hate her. My mother felt sorry for my father. In the end, I just asked her to protect herself, because my father had changed a long time ago. My mother was able to sell it for the son of the Zhao family. Later, she changed the grain , Dad didn't even look at her.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes turned red from thinking too much, holding back tears, mother said that she is doing well now, and the Qian family will respect her in the future, as long as her in-law's family is better, mother's life will be better.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao's spirit is not very good, Zhulan said to Chang Yi, "You guys have been tired all day, go back and rest!"
Zhou Laoer said: "Mother, let's go back first."
"Yep."
Zhu Lan said to Li Shi again: "It's cold because of the cold wind today. Take out some of the rare mutton and stew it for dinner. You can pack up the rest of the mutton and jujubes."
Li's stomach is no longer short of pork, but mutton is still short, "Mother, it's getting late, I'm going to cook now."
"Go."
Dong stood up, "Sister-in-law, I will help you."
Mrs. Li smiled, "Okay."
Now she likes Changlian's daughter-in-law more and more, and she has taught her the truth!
For the rest of the presents, Zhulan looked at the bottles on display, and found that Zhou Shuren didn't like the ones she got in exchange. She thought carefully, when Chang Lian went out to visit, a lot of things came out of his house, and when he returned the gifts, Sanfang also got a lot of things. The family of the second child also took out a lot, and got some gifts in return, but the elders didn't get anything.
Zhulan pointed to the display bottle, "This pair of bottles, boss, you can take them back and put them away."
Boss Zhou was stunned, "Mom, what should I do with it?"
Mother should keep such a precious thing safe.
Zhulan didn't bother to explain, "I said I'll give it to you big room, so take it back!"
Boss Zhou realized that Mother was trying to find a balance. Mother felt that the big house was at a disadvantage, so she gave the bottle for decoration to the big house. She realized something in her heart. No wonder the eldest sister never took the initiative to ask mother for things. I've never been jealous! The eldest sister who co-authors is the one who knows the parents best in the family. Because they don't fight, and the parents are fair, they will naturally make up for it. I have gained a good reputation and let my parents think about it. The eldest sister is really good!
Boss Zhou is looking at Changzhi, Changzhi looks like a big brother deserves it, and Chang Lian, who knows how to calculate, also has the same expression, hey, he knows how to be a big brother in the future.
Boss Zhou hugged the box, feeling happy in his heart, the harvest today is too great.
Chang Lian and Chang Zhi didn't leave, they were waiting to see the painting!
Seeing that the two of them had been staring at the painting, Zhulan said, "Open it yourself, don't damage it."
Changzhi was much faster than Changlian, "Mother, don't worry, I will be very careful."
Zhulan laughed and shook her head, Changzhi became particularly active in painting and calligraphy.
Zhulan touched the fur of the cloak. These two cloaks were given to her and Zhou Shuren. Hers was made of fox fur and Zhou Shuren's sable fur. It felt good to the touch, not comparable to rabbit fur.
Zhulan hung all the cloaks in the wardrobe. Thanks to Wang Ru, large wardrobes are very popular now, and the Zhou family also bought a lot.
Chang Zhi and Chang Lian looked at the calligraphy and painting. Zhulan didn't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, so she just glanced at them roughly, well, the calligraphy was good, and then it disappeared. As for who signed it, she didn't know it, it should be a calligrapher from the superficial dynasty .
Changzhi watched carefully, frowning, "Huh."
