Chapter 254： pity

Zhulan wondered, "Auntie, just speak up if you have something to do."

Wu Li said to Wu Yan beside him: "You haven't seen Xuehan for a long time, you guys go out to play."

When Zhulan heard this, she didn't want the children to hear it. When the two little girls went out, Zhulan said, "Auntie can talk about it this time."

Mrs Wu Li was a little embarrassed to open her mouth, and thought that her grandson was full of confidence again, "Xuehan is also nine years old this year, what do you think of my family Wu Ming?"

Bamboo Orchid, "......"

Thinking back carefully, she never mentioned Xuehan's engagement. Xuehan and Wu Hao had a good relationship and both were little girls and would not propose engagement. The Wu family still didn't know about the engagement. And ask her so directly!

Zhulan felt a little smug in her heart. Except for her identity, Xuehan was no worse than the young lady in other aspects. Seeing that Mrs. Wu Li was waiting for a reply, she smiled dryly, "Xuehan got engaged last winter."

Counting the age, Wu Li said in surprise, "It's too early to decide the marriage."

She is really optimistic about the girl Xuehan. The little girl is more stable than her granddaughter. She is not only lucky, but also acts gracefully. With Yang's mother here, the little girl must have a lot of calculations in her heart. She is true It is rare for Xuehan, otherwise, I would not have asked Xuehan abruptly because of her young age. It is a pity that Xuehan got engaged early. I thought that even if I mentioned it last year, Xuehan would also be in love, so I could only sigh in my heart that there was no fate.

Zhulan explained: "Being engaged is also fate."

Seeing that Zhulan didn't intend to introduce her son-in-law, Mrs. Wu Li wanted to know who she had decided on, but Mrs. Yang didn't mention it, so she couldn't get to the bottom of it.

Zhulan thought to herself, even if she didn't get engaged, she would not agree with Wu Ming. Who gave Wu Ming a bright future is because of his ability. Who knows if there will be a concubine in the future, what if he bullies his daughter? ?

Rong Chuan is better. Although his life experience is unknown now, he was raised by himself, and his kindness is there, and Rong Chuan repays his gratitude, and he will not lose Xuehan in the future.

When ancient women received education again, they also hoped that their husbands had only their own.

Except for those who really don't care, there are a few women who are willing to share their husbands!

Because Xuehan got married, it was a little embarrassing, and she didn't have the mood to chat anymore, so Zhulan left in advance.

On the way home, Mrs. Li looked left and right, and Zhu Lan laughed, "Didn't you see enough on the way here?"

Li's tone was excited, "Mother, the state city is just different. I won't talk about the many shops along the way. Look at the courtyards on both sides, they are more imposing than those in the county."

Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart. She really didn't see any imposing manner. The buildings of Beifang's houses were basically the same, the only difference was the size of the houses. It's just that Li's family is fresh these two days, and they won't feel different in a few days.

Zhulan was not in a hurry to go home and took Mrs. Li to the market. In the future, Mrs. Li wanted to buy vegetables, so she happened to recognize the way.

Went around the market and bought fish and tofu.

Li's distressed, "Mother, the vegetable market in Zhoucheng is no different. The products sold are similar to those in the county, so why is it more expensive than the county? Fish is one cent more expensive than the county, and tofu is half as expensive. Isn't money and money the same thing?"

Li's heart quickly counted, when he came to Pingzhou, he didn't have a vegetable garden at home, wouldn't he have to spend money to buy it in the future, and the monthly cost was several times that of his hometown.

Zhu Lan saw that Li was stunned, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Shi's heart hurts, "Mother, Pingzhou is not particularly good."

Everyone said that the city was good, and she also looked forward to it, but she really came to calculate the cost, and her heart was bleeding. Now in her eyes, Pingzhou City is a place to swallow money, and she couldn't help covering her purse. .

Bamboo Orchid, "......"

She really can't keep up with Li's brain circuit, I don't know why she is holding her purse and looks like she is afraid of losing it!

When he got home, Mrs. Li hurriedly asked Boss Zhou to make a box to make soil, and she wanted to grow vegetables.

Only then did Zhulan understand why Mrs. Li was covering her purse, because she felt that the city was spending a lot.

At noon, there were meat dishes left over from yesterday, and I cut some pickles and ate a meal.

In the afternoon, Zhu Lan woke up from a nap, and Chang Lian and Dong Shi came back from their visit. Zhu Lan came out of the house and saw the gift box on the table in the main hall, which was a return gift from Dong Shi’s sister.

Zhulan called out to Mrs Dong, Mrs Dong opened the door and came over with a smile, "Mother, you are awake."

Zhulan drank tea to moisten her throat, "En."

Dong Shi knew why her mother called her, she kept waiting for her mother-in-law to wake up, and said, "These are the return gifts from my sister and brother-in-law, specially for father and mother."

"These are too many."

She just counted six boxes.

Dong Shi said: "These are for my parents, and I have accepted them for me and Chang Lian. Mom, my brother-in-law likes wolf skins very much, and they talk about their parents' troubles. This is all my sister and brother-in-law's wishes. Mother, you Just take it!"

Zhulan thought that there would be a return gift, but I didn't expect so many. This is not even for Chang Lian and Dong's, after all, it's her own sister. These gifts are also meant to support Dong's!

Zhu Lan said, "Thank you sister for me, that mother will take it."

If people didn't send a post, she wouldn't go to the door to thank her, as if she was relying on Jiang's family, which was annoying.

"I've already thanked my sister and brother-in-law. My sister will invite me and my mother to participate in tea in the future!"

Zhulan kept smiling, looked at these words, and told her that she didn't need to come to the door to thank you, and that she would be invited to meet and greet in the future. Zhulan said, "Mother doesn't know much about tea, but you can go."

She is a talented lady, and she is not enough cannon fodder to go to the tea party of the official wife. As for Dong's own sister, she will naturally take care of her. She doesn't want to be looked down upon.

Mrs. Dong knew for a long time that her mother-in-law would say so. Her in-laws are not unreasonable people, and she sighed at the difficulty of her sister's second marriage. Now the officials and wives in the state city are talking about her sister.

However, she was very happy today. Her parents-in-law gave her gifts for her visit, especially two good wolf skins. My brother-in-law liked them very much. This was also a face for my sister. The husband and wife's family!

Because she didn't embarrass her sister, she was also happy, and the return gift was natural and generous, and of course she meant to support her.

Zhulan was embarrassed to open a gift in front of her daughter-in-law, but fortunately, Mrs. Dong winked, "Mother, I'm going back to sort out my sister's return gift. I'll go back to the house first."

"Okay, go back."

Zhulan waited for Dong to go back, and then opened the box. Among the six boxes, the largest box contained decorations. Zhulan didn't understand the decorations, but the five-grade Tongzhi would definitely not be cheap. The two boxes One box contained two hairpins inlaid with jade, one box contained a pair of jade bracelets that looked okay, and the other three boxes contained a piece of fine ink and two precious brushes.

The six boxes were indeed for her and Zhou Shuren.

As for the rest of the family, their status is different, so Dong's sister doesn't need to worry about everything.

Zhulan put all the jewelry in the box into the jewelry box. She has more and more jewelry, and she is also a layman and is happy when she sees it.

After dinner, Zhou Shuren didn't come back to eat. Zhulan was thinking about it. Ancient times were bad. She didn't have a mobile phone. .

Bamboo Orchid couldn't control herself went to the front yard several times.

Boss Zhou followed behind his mother, and he also thought about his father, "Mother, should I go out and look for it?"

Zhulan, "Where did you go to find it? Come on, don't worry about it, your father will be back in a while."

Boss Zhou, "..."

Mother, when you said this, you went back to the backyard. You don't go back here because you are thinking about it. He is not only thinking about his father, but also his mother.

He and Li have different ideas. Li feels that spending more money in Pingzhou is not as good as in his hometown. He is still knowledgeable. When people go to high places, they are comfortable in their hometown, but they also cut off the opportunity to go up. Now that Dad hasn't come back, he feels guilty as a son who can't help Dad.

Zhulan's ears moved, and she quickly walked towards the gate. Zhulan felt that Zhou Shuren was back.

When he opened the door and saw a carriage or a person, Boss Zhou looked carefully and said, "Mother, Dad didn't come back."

Zhulan felt that Zhou Shuren was back, "Wait a while, it's definitely your father back."
