Chapter 327 She Is Not Old

Zhulan got Wuchun's letter, the letter was written to Zhulan, communication was inconvenient in ancient times, this letter is a safe letter written by Wuchun after arriving in Lizhou.

As for the letter written by Yang Zhumu, it is estimated that Wu Chun's reply letter should still be on the way after arriving in Lizhou.

The letter that Zhulan and her elder brother opened together, this time came with furs, the gift list in the letter was ignored, just read the text.

When Wu Chun arrived in Lizhou, he was still under the command of Zheng Hong. Zheng Hong was in charge of the garrison in Lizhou and supervised the garrison soldiers. Wu Chun was the powerful general to assist.

Wu Chun bought a large yard with three entrances in Lizhou City for only two hundred taels. The yard occupies a large area. He specifically said that although Lizhou is a state city, the conditions are very poor. The most merchants in the city are some fur traders. .

Although the war ended and people who fled from Lizhou came back one after another, the whole city was still very depressed, the people were extremely poor, and there were many people who sold their sons and daughters.

Yang Zhumu was stunned, "Why did this kid write so much about the lives of the people in Lizhou City? Good guy, there are three or four pages."

Zhulan handed Zhou Shuren a few pages of letters about Lizhou City, "Wu Chun wrote a letter."

Zhou Shuren took it over preciously. He asked Wu Chun to write it. He asked Wu Chun to write everything he saw and told him that this kid wrote it in detail. It seemed that he had visited the nearby villages frequently. It is painful, especially when it is written that there is no food to put into the pot, and some people even eat dirt.

Zhou Shuren's heart sank. Although the environment in the Northeast is also harsh in winter, the land in the Northeast is fertile. The weather has been good these years. As long as they don't sell more grain for saving money, every household can eat eight percent full. In the past few years, the land in the Northeast Many people already have spare money to dress themselves up.

This is also the reason why merchants have traveled to the Northeast more frequently than before in recent years.

Even merchants in Lizhou City are unwilling to go, which shows how poor the local people are.

Zhulan also read the rest of the letter, and it was written about Wu Chunruo's family, and finally invited Zhulan and Zhou Shuren to have a chance to visit Lizhou City.

Yang Zhumu hesitated for a while, and he was not mentioned in the whole article!

Zhulan noticed her elder brother's mood, she laughed and said, "He didn't know you were with me."

"I wrote him a letter."

Zhulan was speechless, "Brother, do the math yourself. After you receive Wu Chunxin's letter and then reply to Lizhou City,

How long does a round trip take? When Wu Chun wrote to me, your letter hadn't reached him yet! How does he know that you are also in the capital, and the reply to you will arrive in a few days. "

Yang Zhumu calculated, "It's true, the boy's reply to me should be on his way to Beijing."

Zhulan received the letter, "I'm going to see the gift my eldest nephew brought me."

This is a New Year's ceremony, although this New Year's ceremony came a bit late, it's already in February, and it seems that I will try it in a few days.

Zhou Shuren held the letter, "I'm going back to read first."

Zhulan, "OK."

Zhulan and her elder brother went to see the presents, three boxes of things, two boxes of furs, and one box of jujubes. These jujubes are good things.

I separated some of the bamboo orchids and kept them for my mother to eat when she arrived in the capital.

Just as Zhulan packed up the furs, Mrs. Li came back with Xinghua and a basket of vegetables, rubbing her hands and warming herself by the fire, "Mother, it's really cold here!"

Zhulan was worried. There were also three exams, the ninth day, the 12th day, and the 15th day. They entered the field one day first and left the field the next day.

The examination room for each person is still very small, five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high. When you enter, you will be searched first, and then each person will be handed out three candles. When the examinee enters the room and the door is locked, the conditions are still very difficult!

Zhulan asked, "What kind of meat did you buy today, let's see how happy you are."

Mrs. Li grinned, "Mother, today's mutton is fresh, I bought a few extra catties of mutton and stewed it tonight."

Zhu Lan said kindly, "Buy some more meat tomorrow, and make more sausages for your father to bring."

"Hey!"

Soon it was the eighth day of the lunar new year, and Zhulan checked what Zhou Shuren brought. This time, not only Zhulan checked several times, but even Zhou Shuren checked twice.

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren nervous, but she relaxed a lot, "It's really hard to see what you are so nervous about."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Ninety-nine steps have been taken, and the last step is short. Can I not be nervous?"

Zhulan held Zhou Shuren's hand, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've reached this point, just let nature take its course."

These days, Zhou Shuren is dreaming at night, she can hear Zhou Shuren talking in her sleep, and she is endorsing in her dreams!

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

As soon as Zhulan heard it, she responded well, she must not think so in her heart, Zhou Shuren always said that she was willing to take responsibility on her, why didn't he?

It's just that Zhou Shuren's heart is small, and she is the only one who embraces her.

The capital city in February is really lively, especially on the eighth day of the lunar new year, the streets are full of horse-drawn carriages.

Zhulan's family came late, the carriage was stuck behind, and they had to walk there in the cold weather.

The situation on the street is similar, not only Zhulan's family walks, Zhulan is willing to spend money, especially on Zhou Shuren's body, Zhou Shuren is not cold when he is wrapped in a thick cloak.

You also need to queue up to enter the examination room, which is the same as the process of the rural examination.

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to go in, and stood on the street for a while but had no intention of leaving.

Li-shi is not the most frost-resistant despite her fat appearance, Li-shi rubbed her hands, "Mom, let's go home!"

Zhulan regained her senses and glanced at the examination room for the last time. Zhou Shuren fought for her, and curled his lips, "Go home."

Back home, Zhulan went back to the house and drew the scene of Zhou Shuren entering the examination room.

Mrs. Li stood aside: "Mother, you draw really well."

Zhulan tilted her head, "Why did you follow in?"

Li's small eyes were wronged, "Mother, I have been following you."

Zhulan knew that Li Shi was here to accompany her, seeing Li Shi's bun-like face couldn't help stretching out her hand and pinching it, "It really feels good."

Li-shi's eyes widened, but she was overjoyed in her heart. Mother pinched her, and mother, like the head of the family, cherished her the most. Thinking of what the head of the family said, Li-shi blushed.

Zhulan stared blankly at Li Shi running out, she just pinched Li Shi's face, why is Li Shi so shy?

Xuehan came in with her niece, "Mom, why did sister-in-law run out?"

Zhulan, "Who knows what she's thinking again."

Seeing that her mother looked calm and didn't look worried at all, Xuehan was stunned, "Mother, aren't you worried about dad?"

In the past, every time I took an exam, my mother was very worried.

Zhulan waited for the ink to dry, then put away the painting and said, "I trust your father."

Xuehan fell silent, she really envied the relationship between her father and mother, and she also hoped that she would be like Rong Chuan in the future, thinking of this, Xuehan's face turned red, "Mom, I'm going back to the house."

Zhulan blinked her eyes, what's wrong with this one, one or two are shy? Has she lost track of her train of thought? Is she really old?

Zhulan shuddered, it was scary to think about it, no, her real age is not yet thirty, and the ancient ones are not even forty, she is not old, not old!
