Chapter 452 Marriage
It was inconvenient for Zhulan to get up, Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan to sit up, "A post from Mr. Sea Affairs Department."
Zhou Shuren pursed his lips in displeasure, "You've been here for more than nine months, don't they know?"
It's good to provoke him at this time.
Zhulan smiled, "People know, so it's not an invitation post, this is a visit post."
Zhou Shuren sneered, "The weasel has no good intentions in celebrating the New Year. They are in a hurry when they know the news about the capital."
The right servant is not only the emperor's secret ghost, but also hopes that he can use this matter to quickly understand the taxation. According to his understanding of the emperor, the emperor does not want to move these people yet.
Zhulan was puzzled, "What's the news from the capital?"
Zhou Shuren, "Your Minister's house was ransacked."
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
So, in the future, she can't stop thinking about it, Zhulan couldn't help rubbing her stomach, luckily she's about to give birth, she doesn't have to see guests during the confinement period, so she should be able to escape, right?
Zhou Shuren thought, "Why don't you think of a reason to refuse?"
Zhulan, "I've already agreed, it's not good to go back on it now, don't worry, nothing will happen if I just meet you tomorrow, I just want to see what I can do."
Zhou Shuren remained silent. Zhulan will meet sooner or later. These people will not give up until they achieve their goals, and it is difficult to refuse the second time if they refuse the first time. It is better to meet directly, "If you feel uncomfortable, see off the guest."
"knew."
When the food was served, Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan to eat.
Now the Zhou family eats separately, and the Zhou family did not buy any more servants. Because there were some servants in the mansion, Zhulan picked out good cooks and sent them to the kitchen. They eat separately, and the kitchen can be busy. .
There is a certain amount of food for each room for a day. Whatever you want to eat, you can pay according to the amount of money, and you can add money if you exceed it.
Zhou Shuren was the happiest when eating separately, and finally he was able to eat at the same table with Zhulan.
After dinner, Mrs. Song came. This is a daily routine. Zhulan asked the child, "How is the child today?"
Mrs. Song returned,
"This young lady drank more milk than yesterday, and her hands and feet have gained a little strength."
Zhulan smiled, "That's good."
She didn't ask Zhou Shuren to name the child, even if she said she was superstitious, she really hoped that the child would grow up safely.
Zhulan asked again, "Where is the second wife?"
Mrs. Song said without any concealment: "Second Wife thinks about it, this Miss Nursing doesn't use slaves much, it's all done by Second Wife herself."
Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, she was afraid that Mrs. Zhao would blame the child, "Go back, come back in a few days."
Mrs. Song, "Yes."
When Zhulan asked Mrs. Zhao, she thought of Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang thought that the Zhou family would be in Lizhou City for many years. Knowing that Mrs. Zhou was leaving, Mrs. Fang wanted to follow, but in the end she gave up because of Qian Keqi.
Qian Keqi studied well in the academy, he likes the environment of the academy very much, and the teachers in the academy are nice, Mrs Fang just chatted with Mrs Zhao before leaving on the anniversary, but he didn't dare to speak in front of her.
Early the next morning, before leaving, Zhou Shuren worriedly told Zhulan to leave again.
Zhou Shuren didn't leave for a while, but Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Sea Affairs Department, came. Liu didn't come by herself, and brought her two daughters.
Sitting down, Mrs. Liu said: "I heard that my sister is forty years old, why don't I look like her?"
Zhulan smiled, "How old does Liu Shuren think I am?"
Liu's hand holding the tea paused. She deliberately got close, but Yang returned it. This is because she doesn't want to be close, so it's Master Zhou's intention?
She came here with full preparations, and she knows a lot about Yang, knowing that Yang is not a good idiot, and Liu didn't expect to get close with a word, "I think my sister is only thirty-five, and my sister and I can't Bi, I'm only four years older than my sister, no matter how careful I take care of it, I'm still not young!"
Zhulan's skin has indeed improved a lot, and the wrinkles around her eyes have also become less. It's all due to her pregnancy and fat, and she opened her eyes. "Liu Shuren was joking. I think Shuren is younger, about the same size as me!"
Mrs. Liu laughed, "I like to hear my sister's words."
Zhulan thought in her heart that she would also flatter, thinking back then when she coughed, she had praised others a lot, Zhulan looked at the hairpin on Liu's smiling head trembling, and felt in her heart that Master Haiwu really has money Not to mention the jewelry on Mrs. Liu's head, but the jade bracelet on Mrs. Liu's hand is a rare treasure. Looking at the material of the clothes, there has been a lot of money in the past two years.
Zhulan looked at the two girls, both of them looked good, but the jewelry dazzled her eyes.
Seeing Yang looking at the two daughters, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Look, I just feel that my sister is kind and happy, but I forgot to introduce her. This is my third daughter, Min Ying, who is sixteen this year. It's my youngest daughter, Min Yu, who is ten years old this year."
Zhulan also knows the situation of Haiwu's family. It's all the information collected by Zhou Shuren. She can recite it when she is free. When she thinks of it, Zhulan can't help but twitch her mouth. The population of each family is really large. Auntie There are many, and there are many concubines and daughters, plus grandchildren, Zhulan has carried it for a long time.
The mistress of the Min family, Lord Haiwu, is incredible. The Liu family is capable. She is not like some mistresses who don’t like concubine sons and concubine daughters. The Liu family didn't name the concubine, but it can be regarded as hard education.
Mrs. Liu only gave birth to one daughter, Min Yu, and there were three under her name, two were married, and the remaining one was Min Ying.
Zhulan suddenly knew what Mrs. Liu was doing here, not to inquire about news, but to get married. She didn't think Mrs. Liu was going to marry her little girl to Changzhi. Changzhi and the Min family didn't take it seriously and said no. The quasi-family is prepared for the prince, betting that he will become a concubine in the future, so it is the sixteen-year-old Min Ying.
Don't talk about family background, just talk about Min Ying's people, Zhulan doesn't like them, it seems that they have been brainwashed since childhood.
Zhulan smiled and said, "Miss Liu Shu's family really lives up to her reputation."
Mrs. Liu is happy. The daughters she cultivated are all ladies of the family. She is not stupid. A girl is enough to give the dowry. It is also good for her son, Liu frowned, "Your sister also likes it?"
Zhulan said in her heart that she didn't like to thank you, she would rather Changzhi find a Bawanghua, and said with a smile: "You are joking."
Mrs. Liu's smile froze, a smart person would understand what it meant with a word, she was just probing, and Mrs Yang answered it, Mrs Liu glanced at the two girls behind Mrs Yang, she knew that the young lady of the Zhou family was with her. Her second son is compatible, but it's a pity that she got engaged early. She has been engaged for many years and her childhood sweetheart has already had feelings for her. It's a pity that she won't use her son even if she wants to get married.
As for the other girl, if she hadn't come to the Zhou Mansion, she wouldn't have even glanced at her. She has a bad reputation and a very poor family background.
Zhulan doesn't like Liu Shi looking at her daughter and Wu Yan like looking at goods. Liu Shi is polite to her because of Zhou Shuren, but Liu Shi will not be polite to Wu Yan, picky eyes, contemptuous eyes, Zhulan Yuguang Seeing Wu Yan's face turned pale.
Zhulan ouched, this frightened Xuehan, Xuehan hurriedly said: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Zhulan rubbed her belly, she really didn't pretend, really, she wanted to send Liu Shi away, but she never thought of pretending with her belly, "I, I really want to give birth."
