Chapter 399 Move Away

Three days later, Zhou Laoer came back from Chuanzhou. Zhou Laoer did not buy a house in Chuanzhou City, but bought a house near the orchard, a house with two entrances.

The house was bought, and Mrs. Zhao couldn't move there alone. She had to wait for Zhou Laoer to come back from Pingzhou before moving.

Early the next morning, Zhou Lao Er and Chang Zhi returned to Pingzhou.

Zhou Shuren sorted out the books for Xu Jinshi, and Zhulan added some fabrics for Xu Jinshi's wife. These two worried about Changzhi and worked hard.

As for Xuemei, this time Zhulan didn't bring anything home, but wrote a letter.

Zhou Lao Er left, Fang came to look for Zhulan, and Zhao accompanied Fang.

Zhulan asked, "Is there something wrong with my mother-in-law?"

Zhou's second child was not at home, and Fang stayed at home, not to mention showing up in front of Zhulan, and directly complained that he was sick and hid in the yard. Zhulan knew Fang's embarrassment, and didn't slap her in the face to ask for a doctor.

Fang grabbed the handkerchief tightly, feeling pain in her heart. The Qian family sold some antiques, and there was a total of 35,000 taels of silver in the account. The remaining 8,000 taels, and the 2,000 taels she saved from selling jewelry and antiques, she was a little bit resentful, the corners of her mouth were stiff, "I've been bothering you for a while, and I'm here to say goodbye."

Zhulan, "Where is my mother-in-law going?"

Fang laughed dryly, "I'll go to the inn first, and then I'll buy a house to live in."

She doesn't want to live in Zhou's house. Her daughter has a lot of opinions on her these days, especially her son-in-law. Now that her son-in-law is gone, it's better for her to leave earlier.

Zhulan frowned, Fang went out to live in the inn, unknowingly thought that the Zhou family could not accommodate orphans and widowed mothers, "Butler Ding is familiar with Ya, so there is no need for the in-laws to leave in a hurry, it will not be too late to leave after the house is bought. "

Fang wanted to refute, but she didn't dare to say anything after seeing the slightly displeased face of her mother-in-law, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Mrs. Zhao wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. When she met her mother this time, she realized that her mother was really petty. She saw herself in her mother. Just as she saw her mother, the Zhou family must also see her in the same way. , Be careful thinking too much and not being able to get on the stage, the more Zhao thinks about it, the more his face burns.

Fang couldn't stay any longer, she was angry, even if she did something wrong, she shouldn't send back 22,000 taels, "Mother-in-law, I'll go back first."

Zhulan looked at Fang's indifferently, "Yes."

Mrs. Fang turned around and left, Mrs. Zhao's face was flushed, she was too unfamiliar with her mother now, it was useless to scold her for the past two days, and she even scolded her husband, and her mother wanted to give them 10,000 taels , Let them pretend to take the silver and send it back to Qian's family, she was shocked.

Seeing her mother standing at a loss, Yushuang secretly pulled down her grandma's clothes.

Zhulan patted Yushuang's hand, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Butler Ding is quick to handle things, you go and tell Butler Ding that he will finish it in the afternoon, and you go and buy some food and vegetables for your mother. It is also your filial piety."

Mrs. Zhao stared blankly at her mother-in-law, her mother was pointing her out, no matter how many mothers she had, but outsiders only looked at the Zhou family's performance, "Mother, I'll go right away."

Zhulan waited for Mrs. Zhao to leave, and said to Yushuang, "You have to remember to be generous, even if you don't want to, you still have to take care of the overall situation and your family's reputation."

Yushuang nodded to understand, grandma doesn't like grandma,

But for the sake of the Zhou family's reputation, grandma still gave advice to her mother. She knew better that grandma was weak, and the Zhou family was an official family. People are often willing to sympathize with the weak, especially when grandpa is in full swing. Many people are willing to find fault with the Zhou family. , Grandma did this so that people can't find anything wrong with it.

Yushuang understands it, but she is a little aggrieved, especially the grandmother who is the head of the house, "Grandma."

Zhulan smiled, it's better to be the child she taught herself, she felt sorry for her, but this child didn't know, she never took Fang Shi seriously in her heart.

In the afternoon, Steward Ding helped Fang to buy a house and a shop. Zhulan was not curious about how much money Fang had, nor did she want to count it. Zhulan told Steward Ding to prepare some fabrics and furs for Fang. mind.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Fang took her son to buy the house, and Mrs. Zhao followed, taking away the love from the Zhou family and Mrs. Zhao's filial piety.

On the second day, Mrs. Sun brought Zhulan's sister-in-law to Zhou's house.

Zhulan asked, "Mother, what's going on at home?"

Sun smiled, "It's not the beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer, I can't stay at home anymore, so I come to your place for a walk."

Zhulan smiled, "Mother, there must be other things!"

Sun was puzzled, "How did you find out?"

Zhulan laughed, "If you can't stay longer, Dad will definitely take you around the city, why would he let you come to me alone."

Sun smiled, "Mother, tell the truth to you, you know the girl of Zheng Hong's family!"

Zhulan nodded, "I know, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, she is stable and well-established."

Sun said with a smile: "It's good if you like it, and I think this girl is good too. What do you think of her and Changzhi?"

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

She really didn't expect that the old lady came for Changzhi.

Seeing that her daughter didn't look happy, Mrs. Sun asked, "Isn't it appropriate?"

She thinks it's quite appropriate, she really likes the daughter of the Zheng family.

Zhulan explained: "Mother, let me tell you that even if Shuren is transferred to another place in the future, our family will not marry the Zheng family."

Sun asked, "Why?"

Zhulan thought about how to explain it more simply, "Now we all know that Shuren is the emperor's confidant, if Shuren wants to go up, he can't marry the Zheng family."

Mrs. Sun is an old lady with little knowledge, her eyes widened, "It will affect Shuren, so forget it, I didn't say it today."

Zhulan thought, she just didn't want to scare her mother. In fact, it is simpler to say that if Zhou Shuren wants to retire safely, the Zhou family cannot marry the military commander's family.

Especially Zheng Hong of the Zheng family, Zheng Hong is also the emperor's confidant at first glance, heh, the emperor is not happy to see the two marriages plus the Yang family.

Mr. Zheng is optimistic about Mingyun, but it's a pity that Mr. Zheng didn't expect that Zhou Shuren would be so favored by the emperor. The Zhou family received the blessing from the emperor, and Mr. Zheng and Zhou Shuren never mentioned Mingyun's name in their letters.

Mrs. Sun didn't dare to introduce it blindly, so she chatted with her daughter about other things, "This time flies so fast, it's been a year in a blink of an eye. A few days ago, your father and I went outside the city and saw many farmers buying seeds for spring plowing. gone."

The smile on Zhulan's face deepened. Zhou Shuren dug the ice cellar. In order to dig it quickly, he hired Xu Minmin, each of whom paid 20 Wen a day for one lunch. After working for ten consecutive days, each person earned 200 Wen .

Each household has a lot of strong laborers. If there are fewer households, there are two people participating, and there are more than four or five people. Every household has income.

I got money before spring plowing, and I happened to have money to buy grain seeds. These were calculated by Zhou Shuren.

There was still some money left from digging the ice cellar, and Zhou Shuren didn't keep it in the account. He continued to hire people to repair the dam. Zhou Shuren thought of the drought and flood.

The only thing that makes Zhou Shuren regret is that no one donates money. If there is money, he still wants to build a ditch ten miles outside the west city!
