Chapter 321 Protecting Mother-in-Law
The latest website: Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren's eyes to look over, the army marching back to the court was too fast, Zhulan didn't see anything, only saw the dust raised and ate the dust from her mouth.
Zhou Shuren put down the curtain of the car, "I seem to have seen Mr. Zheng's grandson Zheng Hong and Wu Chun just now."
Zhulan was excited, "Zheng Yang's brother Zheng Hong? And Wu Chun? Are you sure you read it right?"
Although she is not a real aunt, her nephews have been really filial to her cheap aunt in the past two years, especially Wu Chun, every time she goes out to run darts, she will bring back some special products for this aunt, even if the Zhou family does not need to subsidize it. This kid didn't stop bringing things back, no matter what he brought back, it was Wu Chun's wish.
The three nephews, ahem, Zhulan has been in contact with Wu Chun for the longest time, and most of what she, a cheap aunt, really misses is Wu Chun, and the other two only think that they will go to fight when they are young, and they just have some thoughts in their hearts.
Now that he heard that it might be Wu Chun, he was worried, but then he became depressed again, "Wu Chun didn't know we were in the capital, and we couldn't find him either!"
Zhulan is depressed, the communication in ancient times is really primitive, if there is a phone, they can know each other's information with just one call!
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Aren't you wondering why Wu Chun followed the army back to the court?"
Zhulan was happy for the Yang family and Wu Chun, "You're curious? Wu Chun is a general under the Zheng family, and he should have continued to guard the frontier. He should have made meritorious service by returning to Beijing together."
This time, he captured a leader of the foreign clan, which was another big victory. Now the news of the capital has already spread, and the foreign clan in the northwest has bowed their heads and proclaimed their vassals.
Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said quietly: "It's not a small achievement to be able to follow back to Beijing!"
Unexpectedly, he helped the Yang family win the opportunity, and the Yang family really grasped the opportunity. He was very happy, and Wu Chun was fighting for his strength!
The carriage stopped for half an hour before going on the road again. The entire convoy was excited to see the army returning to the city. The dynasty had just been established not long ago, the blood had not been cleaned up, and the people were full of blood. It was exciting to conquer the powerful foreigners in the northwest, and the cohesion of the entire dynasty became stronger and stronger.
When the convoy arrived in the capital, they did not see the returning army. They should have returned to the barracks near the capital, rested for a day, and entered Beijing tomorrow.
Zhulan thought well, if she could go to the street to watch tomorrow, maybe Wu Chun could see them!
When we arrived in the capital, it was dark,
It was already dark when they returned to the house. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren bought a lot of food in Pinggang. Pinggang is a port, and there are many merchants coming and going. Most of the inns are merchants, and exchanging goods is very common.
Zhou Shuren met Zhulan at dinner, and tentatively asked if he could buy some. Because of the blessing of Juren's status, he really sold some to Zhou Shuren.
It’s only winter now, and the first snow this year has not yet fallen, and there are still a lot of fruits shipped from the south to the north.
Zhulan is in a good mood to invest and is willing to spend money. I bought a basket of apples and pears. I also bought persimmons from the south. Bamboo orchids are hard to find in the north. Persimmons are not afraid of freezing. I bought two baskets of bamboo orchids. I bought a basket of oranges and bamboo orchids, not because the bamboo orchids didn't want to buy more, but because the merchants didn't sell much and were waiting to transport them to the north to earn more money.
Zhulan also bought fresh peppers. The peppers can withstand transportation, but they are also damaged a lot. It's a pity that they are not allowed to pick, and they only sell one basket. Zhulan bought one basket.
Other jujubes are not uncommon, there are shops in the capital, but bamboo orchids are not available.
Because I bought a lot of things, I hired an extra carriage.
Standing at the gate, Mrs. Li watched baskets of things being brought in, covered with straw mats. Mrs. Li was very curious, "Mother, what did you buy?"
Zhulan walked towards the backyard and said, "It's all some fruits, you can take some out and wash them later, and eat them after dinner."
Mrs. Li just remembered that she didn't know that her parents were home today, and she didn't have dinner for her parents. Although she was not afraid of the food spoiling in winter, she also made a fixed amount for each meal, because she found that since the Zhou family's food arrived, uh , no one wants to eat leftovers.
Li said: "Mother, you change your clothes and rest first, and I'll cook two more dishes."
Zhulan is greedy for chili scrambled eggs and chili fried meat, "By the way, I brought back a basket of fresh chili, let's make chili fried meat and chili scrambled eggs!"
Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised, "Mother, are there any fresh peppers?"
When she first came to Beijing, she could still see fresh peppers in the market, but now she can't see them anymore.
Zhulan nodded, "There should be a lot of damage, let Xinghua pick out the good ones tonight."
"understood."
Zhulan went back to the house, the room was a bit cold, she didn't know that she and Zhou Shuren came back, Zhulan thought to herself, Mrs. Li's heart is still not careful, if Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong were changed, no matter whether she and Zhou Shuren come back, It will heat up the small kang in the house.
Zhulan sat and waited for a while, Boss Zhou lit up the kang and the charcoal stove in the house, and waited for a while for the temperature in the room to rise before Zhulan changed her clothes.
Zhou Shuren waited for Zhulan to change clothes, stood in front of the window and opened a gap, "It's too dangerous to burn charcoal in the house."
Zhulan was also worried, "But there's no way, it's too troublesome to rebuild now, and this house will be sold sooner or later."
Bamboo Orchid misses the air conditioner and the heated Kang!
Zhou Shuren changed his clothes, and he had no choice but to be more careful.
After dinner, Ming Teng was the happiest, eating apples in winter was something he couldn't even imagine in Pingzhou and his hometown.
Seeing that Mrs. Li only washed apples and pears, Zhulan said, "Where are the oranges and persimmons?"
Li groaned, "That's oranges and persimmons!"
Zhulan is silent, yes, let alone Mrs. Li, she has been here for almost three years, and it was only this year that she came to the capital to see oranges, let alone Mrs. Li, ordinary people in the Northeast have only heard of them and never seen them. of.
Zhulan, "Well, go and get some oranges and persimmons."
Mrs. Li got up happily, she was really enjoying herself with her mother-in-law, hey, this is the orange the neighbor said, huh, let the neighbor's daughter-in-law show off, this time she also ate it!
Mrs. Li didn't dare to take more. She only took five oranges and five persimmons. She originally wanted to take four, but she only took five because it didn't sound good.
Li thought to herself, father and mother each have an orange, she and the head of the family have one, the younger sister has one, and the two children have one, now there is one more, well, she doesn't have to share one with the head of the family.
Zhulan sees that there are five oranges and persimmons, and they are divided according to Li Shi's idea. Li Shi and the boss each have an orange and a persimmon.
Li Shi grinned, she was really getting smarter, and she could guess what her mother-in-law was thinking.
Just as Zhulan was about to talk about how to eat oranges, Mrs. Li took a bite, Zhulan said, "......"
Mrs. Li pouted: "Mother, oranges are not tasty at all. The neighbor's little daughter-in-law lied to me, she said oranges are sweet and sour!"
Zhulan, "......She didn't lie to you."
There is a problem with the variety in ancient times, and there are no modern sweetening agents. The taste is indeed sweet and sour. Of course, there are good varieties, which are not circulated in the market, but are supplied to the palace.
Zhulan demonstrated how to eat oranges, "Peel the oranges first."
Lee, "..."
She lost face again, and even adults.
Ming Teng was not polite to his mother at all, and laughed out loud, Boss Zhou couldn't help laughing, "I'm making you impatient."
Lee, "..."
Now even her son is bullying her!
In the early morning of the next day, Zhulan took the Li family to the street early, Zhulan had come early enough, the street was still crowded with people, she really wanted to go to the restaurants on both sides, but it was a pity that most of them were ruled by the rich and powerful. bag!
Mrs. Li was very depressed. It was the first time to see her mother-in-law so excited. Hey, the crowd looked at her father-in-law's weak appearance. The father-in-law couldn't protect her mother-in-law, so she had to come, "Let me go, let me go .”
