Chapter 201
Latest website: After dinner, Zhulan was going to rest. After washing, she fell asleep in a daze. She felt that someone beside her opened her eyes. Seeing that Zhou Shuren had finished washing and was about to go to bed, she said, "I'm back."
Zhou Shuren's brain hurts. It's not because he drank too much alcohol. It's because his ears are buzzing after listening to good things all day, and his head hurts from the noise. "Go to sleep, I'm asleep too."
Zhulan was used to hugging Zhou Shuren to sleep, and when Zhou Shuren lay down, she hugged Zhou Shuren's waist and fell asleep again in a daze.
Zhou Shuren chuckled, Zhulan didn't sleep well just now, but he was finally at ease when he came back. This trust and reliance made him feel no hardship no matter how hard he worked. He hugged Zhulan tightly, kissed Zhulan's forehead, and said softly : "Good night, daughter-in-law."
Early the next morning, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren woke up, neither of them planned to get up, they were really tired yesterday, Zhulan said: "There will be no fewer people today."
Zhou Shuren said: "When the busy days are over, let's go back to our hometown. I have 200 acres of land tax-free, and I want to buy another 20 acres of land. Our family will add up to 100 acres of land, and then buy another 20 acres of land. Ten acres of dry land will be given to ethnology free of charge as a subsidy for ethnology pens, ink and paper."
Zhulan understands Zhou Shuren's intentions. As the first member of the clan in recent years, the Zhou family needs the support of more members of the clan in the future, and Zhou Shuren also wants to win over members of the Zhou clan. The interests of the clan are originally tied together Yes, in the future, it will be much safer to employ people from the Xin tribe than people with foreign surnames.
Zhou Shuren's giving free land to the tribe is the second step to win over the tribe. The first step is to build a good impression within the tribe in the past two years.
Zhulan asked, "What about the remaining 80 mu of land?"
Zhou Shuren said: "I originally wanted to give it to the Yang family, but I mentioned it to my father, but my father disagreed with life and death, and even told me that the Yang family is not short of tax money, and the Yang family will get better and better in the future. Yes, let me not worry about it."
Zhulan was jealous of Yuanshen, Yuanshen really had a good father and mother, "Father is also thinking about us, he is afraid of trouble in the future."
Zhou Shuren nodded, "So I don't plan to give the remaining 80 mu of land to the family members, nor to Li's natal family. I plan to keep the 80 mu of land, and I want to buy some fields near the capital for my own food. It will be more convenient later on.”
Zhulan stretched her waist, "Listen to you, you are not ready to accept the land given to you by the pole?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "If our family doesn't have the relationship between Jiangfu and Xu Jinshi, I'll accept it if I accept it, because I'm confident that I can control the person who gave the gift, but I can't do it now, a large part of it is for Jiangfu and Xu Jinshi.
I can't check them one by one, it's better not to accept any of them. "
Zhulan laughed, "I don't know you yet, you don't want to accept trouble."
This person also wants to relax and not be so tired. The past two years have really worked hard for Zhou Shuren. Now the Zhou family is all created by Zhou Shuren. After winning the exam, the fate of the Zhou family has completely changed.
Zhulan felt sorry for Zhou Shuren, "I will support you in whatever you want, and I will worry about money in the future, and I won't let you worry about it at home anymore."
Zhou Shuren pressed his forehead against Zhulan's, "In the future, the family's money will be handed over to the lady."
Zhulan kissed the corner of Next Zhou Shuren's mouth, "You will set up the platform for me soon, don't worry, I will be with you in the future."
Zhou Shuren felt that the current atmosphere was very good, and was about to make a move when Boss Zhou knocked on the door, "Father, the patriarch's second uncle wants to leave now."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He felt that he and Boss Zhou were at odds, and Boss Zhou was more annoying than a light bulb!
Zhou Shuren would accept his fate even if he cursed the Three Character Classic in his heart, but his face was very dark.
Boss Zhou shrank his neck outside the door, and he didn't want to call his father, but the second uncle didn't eat breakfast and wanted to leave, he was also very desperate, and only hoped that his father would forgive him because it was not easy for him to be the boss!
Zhou Shuren opened the door and glared at Boss Zhou, but Boss Zhou kept his head down, like an ostrich.
Zhou Shuren, "..."
Awesome, the boss actually used this trick to deal with him!
Zhulan followed behind and couldn't help laughing, you said the boss did something wrong, the boss really did nothing wrong, no matter how angry Zhou Shuren was, he could only stare at him, but the boss Zhou was also afraid, now he dare not even look at Zhou Shuren's face Come on, come on, Zhou Shuren sulked himself.
In the end, Zhou Shuren didn't keep the second son of the patriarch's family either. The second son of the patriarch's family found a convoy, and he remembered rushing home. Yesterday, he stayed for an extra day.
Zhulan hurriedly packed some fabrics and pastries to take with her.
The Zhou family had just finished breakfast, and the Qian family came to congratulate them. Not only did Qian Shengbao bring a few sons, but also a few grandchildren. Zhou Shuren's potential was even greater, so Qian Shengbao was cruel and brought an antique bottle.
Zhulan didn't know the price, but seeing Zhou Shuren's satisfied look, he knew it was not cheap.
This time Qian Shengbao didn't dare to play tricks, and Qian Shengbao said flatteringly, "Congratulations to my in-laws for their family election. I should have come to congratulate my family yesterday, but I thought there must be many people congratulating me, so I waited until today." Come here, don't blame my relatives."
Zhou Shuren looked at the antique bottle from the corner of his eye, no wonder, he didn't blame it at all, hey, he fell in love with this bottle last time when he went to Qian's house, well, that's not right, it should be said that Qian's house has a lot of antiques on display. It all looks good, "What my in-laws said is heresy, sit down quickly."
The corners of Qian Shengbao's mouth twitched. If he knew that sending antiques to his in-laws would be so easy to talk to, he would have given them away long ago. Back then he got a lot of antiques from the Yun family. Who made the merchants rich, especially the Yun family started with burning bottles Yes, the accumulation of generations is really a lot.
Qian Shengbao felt emotional, Zhou Xiucai took the provincial examination, he really didn't think he could pass, he thought that even if he passed, he would have to take it a few times, he thought how old Zhou Xiucai would be when he passed the exam, he thought he would not wait until he died Well, I didn't expect that Zhou Xiucai won the first time, and he was the second place, and the age of the winning is not bad, plus Zhou Xiucai's scheming and means, Zhou Xiucai has the greatest potential in the Zhou family!
Qian Shengbao pushed his grandsons, "I haven't seen Grandpa Zhou yet."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
His good mood dropped a lot in an instant. He kept listening to Zhou Xiucai. Except for his own grandson, he rarely heard anyone call him grandpa. Well, he is obviously very young!
Zhulan was also heartbroken when she heard that, and said to Fang, "My mother-in-law will come later."
Fang's heart was relieved, her mother-in-law came to pick her up in the front yard, she had already given her enough face, she didn't dare to tell the master last time when she went back, but this time her heart was pounding, her mother-in-law became Juren's wife I can't help but wonder if I will look down on her even more. Fortunately, my mother-in-law has given her enough face, and she and her son can live better in Qian's house. "My mother-in-law will invite you first."
Zhu Lan and Mrs. Fang arrived in the backyard, and Mrs. Zhao had already put on makeup and came out. Mrs. Zhao saw that her mother-in-law didn't give her mother any face, and she was still smiling. Mrs. Zhao exhaled and stepped forward with a smile, "Mother, I'm going to make tea."
Zhulan thought to herself, Mrs. Zhao is indeed thoughtful, but Mrs. Zhao also has advantages. Her son never disliked her mother. Mrs. Fang was a slave in the past. After the Fang family came to the Zhou family, even if the status of the Zhou family changed, the Zhao family still cared about his mother. This kind of filial piety is not something everyone can have.
You know, when a person's identity changes, his mentality will change more or less. She beat Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi knew what the problem was, and Zhao Shi never complained to his mother, but kept changing himself. Looking at Fang's expression of concern just now, the smile in Zhulan's eyes became more intense.
No one is perfect, everyone has more or less their own faults, and she has quite a few of her own faults!
Mrs. Zhao came in making tea and brought some refreshments, Zhulan didn't want to drink any more tea, she drank a lot yesterday.
Today, Zhulan not only brought Mrs. Dong to entertain the female relatives, but also Mrs. Li. With the help of her two daughters-in-law, Zhulan felt much more relaxed.
There are landlords and some scholars who come today, but most of them are still merchants.
