Mrs. Li couldn't help looking at Mrs. Zhao. She thought that she and Mrs. Zhao had the best relationship. As a result, Mrs. Zhao hugged Mingrui and said, "Mother, Mingrui is sleepy, I'll take him back to the house first, sister-in-law, tableware and chopsticks. Leave it to me, I'll do the dishes today."
Saying that, Mrs. Zhao slipped away. She has her own affairs. When she came to Pingzhou, she was very hot. She could embroider the screen. The embroidered handkerchief was sold at a high price in the county. There are more noble people in Pingzhou, and the screen is more valuable. , she wants to save more money.
She at least put the eldest sister-in-law's deposit first, so she really can't help!
Mrs Li looked at Mrs Dong depressedly, and quickly withdrew her gaze, even more so for Miss Dong's official family.
Mr. Dong, "..."
She was despised by her sister-in-law! This realization hit her hard!
However, it seems that she really doesn't know how to grow vegetables. Yes, she can't even grow flowers. She shouldn't say that she's not good, but to raise whatever flowers to die. When she was not married, her mother never let her leave her father's flowers. Two meters away, my father is guarding her!
Dong shi looked at Xianggong with a guilty conscience, and didn't know whether Xianggong liked flowers or not, but she was good at raising fish, and she took care of the koi at home!
Zhulan got tired and stood up, "You guys should rest early after cleaning up the kitchen. You're exhausted from the day's journey today."
After speaking, Zhu Lan went back to the bedroom, Zhou Shuren had already changed clothes and was lying on the kang, Zhu Lan said while changing clothes: "We have come to Pingzhou, Dong's sister received a letter, Ming Chang Lian and Dong Shi is going to visit, although he has prepared wolf skins, he has to prepare other gifts, which are another sum of money."
Zhou Shuren waited for Zhulan to get on the kang, and naturally reached out to untie Zhulan's hair, and asked, "How much money do you have in the family?"
Zhu Lan calculated: "Before we left, we bought four wolf skins in a nearby village for gifts. We spent 40 taels, the money for hiring a carriage, and some expenses. We still have more than 130 taels left at home. already."
There is still a large family waiting to spend, and Zhou Shuren has to entertain, so the money is really not enough to spend.
Zhou Shuren thought for a while and said, "I want to sell our two stores a year in advance. Just in time for the new year, let's deal with them."
Zhulan frowned, "A year's rent is quite a lot of money, wouldn't it be a pity to sell it like this? One hundred and thirty taels of silver is enough to save one province."
She is also thinking about dealing with it next year, so that she can earn an extra year of rent!
Zhou Shuren pinched Zhulan's nose, "I can't bear to save you money, and I'm going to pick up the leaks. Wouldn't it be a pity if I run into no money."
Zhulan understands that it is not easy to pick up leaks. If it is good to pick up leaks, Zhou Shuren would have done it a long time ago. It depends not only on ability, but also on luck. The bracelet last time was a rare good luck. Knowing that Zhou Shuren's last words reassured her.
Zhulan nestled in Zhou Shuren's arms, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard at all to raise you."
Zhulan chuckled lightly, this person didn't miss the chance to confess at all!
The two lay down for a while, got up to wash their feet, and it was not too early to pack up, and soon fell asleep.
On the second day, starting to live in Pingzhou, Zhou Shuren went out early in the morning after eating.
Chang Lian came to pick up the visiting gift, Zhu Lan was ready, and gave Chang Lian silver and two wolf skins, "There are not many good things in the house, you can't lose your courtesy when you first visit the door, and I will buy some gifts later. , don't let people take it lightly."
Chang Lian received the money and thought to himself, no wonder they all marry high-class women and low-class wives. His wife's family is too high, and he is tired of living at home. The gift of visiting is just sharing. He kept the account in his heart, I spent a lot of money on my own.
Chang Lian clenched the silver, "Mother."
Zhulan wondered, "What's wrong?"
Chang Lian said, "I've added a burden to you and Dad."
Zhulan still thought what was going on, it turned out that this kid stopped all the expenses on himself, "You and Dong's marriage can't just look at the money, but the future and the current benefits, these are things that money can't buy. Yes, although the cost is too much, it should be spent. Let's not talk about it, just say that after your father is admitted to the juren, if he is admitted to the jinshi and has an in-law to be an official in the officialdom, it is better to go without support. Some, if you don’t pass the exam, you will be able to get the protection of your in-laws in the future, not to mention the benefits it will bring to you, son, don’t just look at the present, but in the long run.”
Zhu Lan paused, thought about it and continued, "We are weak now, mother knows that you are still a little uncomfortable, but who knows the future, they all say don't bully young poor, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, The dynasties in the world are constantly changing, let alone people, the future is not static, if you are really uncomfortable, then try to prove yourself, there will always be a day when you will be transferred, you don’t have to worry about the present, there is no need.”
Chang Lian was a little frightened. It was the first time he heard these words from his mother's mouth. Even if he knew that her mother was very powerful, she never thought that her mother was not only powerful in the house, but also looked at the interests of the outside world. He understands, and his mentality is still very good. Mother's mentality makes him ashamed, and she still doesn't go out. "Mother, my son has been taught."
In my heart, I thought that if the mother was a man, she would be very powerful.
Zhulan felt depressed. She said it was fun, but she still had to explain. When the original body was married to Yuan Zhou Shuren, the original body really didn't know much. On the body, "Mother also listened to your father a lot and learned a lot. It's good if you listen to it and use it."
Chang Lian thought to himself that it was no wonder that his mother had such an opinion, and that she admired her high comprehension, and her father must be very satisfied with teaching her. Who doesn't like someone with high comprehension?
Zhulan knew what Chang Lian was thinking by looking at Chang Lian's expression. She had a stomachache. She really wasn't taught by Zhou Shuren. She was also a capable person. It's a pity that it was in ancient times. The old lady is no worse than your father.
Zhulan waved her hand depressedly, "It's getting late, Mr. Dong should be in a hurry, you should hurry up too."
Chang Lian, "Mother, I'm going out."
"kindness."
Zhulan waited for Changlian and Dong to leave, took out the gifts prepared in the county, wild boar meat and pastries, and took Li and Xuehan to visit Wu's house.
Zhou Lao Er took the road, and when he arrived at the place, Zhou Lao Er went home.
Zhulan followed Mrs Wu Li into the door and looked at it, "Auntie's yard is really nice, and there is a separate well."
Mrs Wu Li said happily: "Thanks to my eldest grandson, auntie, I never dreamed that I would enjoy the blessing of my eldest grandson so early. Look at me, I have gained a lot of weight this year!"
Zhulan has noticed it for a long time, her heart is wide and her body is fat, and Wu Li is a lot richer My aunt will be blessed in the future! "
Wu Li loved to hear this, "We are all very lucky people!"
After entering the house, Zhulan brought the gift, "When I came, I caught up with the wild boar and went down the mountain. I bought some wild boar, which is not a good thing. I have troubled my aunt to take care of the house this year."
Wu Li's eyes glared, "See what you said, it's out of sight, isn't it, what is the relationship between our two families, auntie will be angry if you say that again."
Zhulan smiled, "Okay, I won't see you in the future."
Wu Li looked at Li, "This is the eldest daughter-in-law you said!"
Zhulan nodded, "Yes, my eldest daughter-in-law is also surnamed Li. Come and see Grandma Wu."
Li hurriedly stepped forward, "Good morning, Grandma Wu."
Mrs Wu Li liked the fat looking lucky, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay."
Wu Lishi paused, "That aunt wants to ask you something."
