Chapter 868 Paving the way

After Zhulan finished speaking, she looked at the private room, which was very elegantly set up, especially the screen embroidered with plum blossoms, which was a finishing touch. She handed the cloak to Mrs. Song and chose a seat to sit down.

Mrs. Bai had already poured the tea by herself, and replied with a smile, "If you didn't come to Du's house today, then I'll invite my sister-in-law to drink tea, the private room won't be wasted."

Zhulan sniffed the tea, um, it smells pretty good, the one I ate just now was a bit greasy, so I just drank the tea to relieve my greasy, "There are no outsiders now, why are you looking for me?"

Bai Shi took a sip of her tea and didn't make any detours, "Shuren knows that my family's husband is a doctor of the Ministry of Officials."

Zhulan naturally knew that the Bai family's husband was not very old, and had already reached the position of a doctor in the official department. Zhou Shuren said that the Song family would also produce a high-ranking person in the future.

Zhulan put down her teacup, "What news did you hear?"

Mrs. Bai is from a young lady of a family. She likes to talk to Mrs. Yang. She took the initiative to make friends because they are all smart people. I want to mention Wu Ming, Master Wu."

Zhulan thought to herself, from this point of view, the Song family belonged to the prince, and it was normal for the Song family to know about Wu Ming's transfer, "Does the Song family have a suitable girl?"

Mrs. Bai was not surprised that Mrs. Yang guessed it, and said generously: "Yes, the youngest daughter of my cousin's family will reach the age of Ji this year. Because I get acquainted with Mrs. Shu, that's why we have today's conversation."

Zhulan has always been thinking about Wu Ming's marriage. The three-year filial piety period has passed. She wrote several times to ask Wu Ming if she has any plans to start a family. Wu Ming always said that there is no rush.

Now that Wu Ming is going to Beijing, the marriage should indeed be settled, Zhulan asked, "The daughters of the Song family have always been engaged, why is this Miss Song not engaged when she is old?"

Mrs. Bai didn't hide it either, this matter cannot be concealed, "I was engaged to be married when I was young. When my cousin was ten years old, my cousin was demoted because of a mistake, so the other party resigned. Two years ago, my cousin got up again. Aunt Tang I'm a little scared, and I want to find a good one, but the good men in the capital are either engaged early, or they are young, so they have been procrastinating."

Bai paused and continued: "I thought about finding a good one during the imperial examination, but there was no suitable one."

In fact, at the beginning, the current fifth prince was also on my aunt's list. After the imperial examination, my aunt crossed it off. According to my aunt's words, marrying such a man will be a lifetime of worry and trouble.

Zhulan's heart skipped a beat,

The Song family had a high opinion in Zhou Shuren's heart, "I've remembered it in my heart."

Bai didn't say much, "Mr. Shu, please drink tea."

Now that the talk was over, Zhulan felt relieved, she sipped tea with a smile, and even tasted the dim sum in the tea house, she thought it was good and packed two packs, and took them home for the children to eat.

In the evening, when Zhou Shuren came back, Zhulan said about it, "Do you understand, uncle of Bai's in-law's family?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "I know that Master Song was originally the third rank of Qingzheng of Guanglu Temple. Something happened and he was demoted. He got up again two years ago, and now he is the fourth rank of Qingzheng of Honglu Temple."

After a pause, he continued: "This is the benefit of having a large family. If there is no family, this Master Song would not have the chance to get up. Although he is now the fourth rank of Honglu Temple Qingzheng, he is the top leader of Honglu Temple."

Zhulan said faintly: "If you have family news, you are well-informed. Wu Ming didn't go to Beijing, so he came here."

Zhou Shuren said, "The Song family is the one who stands for the crown prince. The crown prince wants to use Wu Ming. The Song family happens to have a suitable girl. The crown prince must have given her a push."

Zhulan asked, "Then what do you think of this marriage?"

Zhou Shuren spread his hands, "The Crown Prince intervened in this marriage. We don't think it's important. To put it bluntly, we are just messengers, and because of Wu Ming's status as godfather and mother, he came here on purpose."

Zhulan, ".......You are right, then write to Wu Ming, he will make his own decision."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "There is only one answer from beginning to end. Wu Ming can only agree. There is no other choice. This marriage is also good for Wu Yan after he enters Beijing. Now it seems that the crown prince appreciates Wu Ming very much and paves the way for him. gone."

Zhulan said with emotion, "Without us, Wu Ming was the boss, and the gold will shine sooner or later. Now Wu Ming is just walking more steadily than before."

Zhou Shuren, "Unfortunately, it will take years for him to think about it. I really hope he can wake up earlier, so I can feel more relaxed."

Zhulan gave her husband a push, "Go write a letter."

"Um."

The next day was at the Household Department. Zhou Shuren went back to the Household Department. When he saw Zhang Yang greeting him cheerfully, he paused and even smiled at him!

He turned around and asked the doctor next to him, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Lang Zhong coughed, "My lord, I heard that two concubines entered the fifth prince's mansion yesterday."

Zhou Shuren really didn't care about this, the corners of his mouth twitched, man, "Well, you send someone to the Dirty Punishment Department and ask them to clean up a few more warehouses."

Doctor, "Yes."

Zhang Yang touched his purse in a good mood, the purse was given to him by his concubine, he almost didn't want to come to the household department today, his father still loves him, both concubines are beauties.

Zhang Yang was a little absent-minded when he settled the accounts, and felt that the time passed a little slowly.

However, he still misses the concubine, the concubine's room is good, the concubine must be even better!

At noon, the Zhou family, Changyi arrived home, "Mother, this is the money for selling frozen fish in the ice cellar, this is the money for selling fish from the fishing ground, take a look."

Zhulan took it over and looked through it, "The fish sold in this ice cellar is one hundred taels more than I expected."

Changyi explained: "This year's fish market is good, and the stock is also good, and the price has increased a bit."

Zhulan collected the money and looked at Changyi.

After so many years, Chang Yi can't say he knows his mother very well, but he also understands six or seven points, "Mother, do you have something to tell your son?"

Zhulan, "Our family has a good relationship with the Chen family. My mother has been listening to the Chen family talking about overseas affairs. Now that the Chen family is going to open a shop in an overseas country, my mother is wondering whether you can buy property overseas. ?”

Changyi was surprised, "Mother, of course I can buy property. My son has contacted many merchants and knows a lot. This time I went to the fishing ground and learned more. The country sells our products and is very popular among the people.”

Zhulan continued: "I heard that some countries are in chaos, some countries are always at war, but there are also some stable countries."

Changyi didn't think that what Mother said to him was just chatting, so his heart moved, "Mother, do you want your son to go out and have a look?"

Zhulan did have a point, she and Zhou Shuren had no way to go out, Zhou Shuren must not be able to bear the hardships on the ship at his age, but she still hoped that someone from the Zhou family could go to see the outside world.

The world is big, even if you travel around, you will have a broad horizon when you come back.

As for the Zhou family, only Changyi can go out at present. She and Zhou Shuren mentioned that Zhou Shuren is supportive. The two of them don’t know what the future holds. It may broaden the horizons of the children and grandchildren and learn more about the world. As elders, she and Zhou Shuren can guided.
