Chapter 375： show yourself

Chang Lian didn't have any thoughts at all. Not only was he afraid of his father, he was even more afraid of his mother, who was ruthless. Anyway, it was warm in the room, so just stand there!

The heads of Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong are even lower. If it was before, Mrs. Dong would be a little dissatisfied, but now she has no dissatisfaction at all. She just wants to please her mother-in-law and hopes that her mother-in-law will protect her more when she is not married. When she thought that her mother told her that Changlian might have a concubine in the future, her heart was tied together. At this time, she just wanted to please her mother-in-law, not to mention standing, kneeling.

Time passed little by little, but Steward Ding came in without squinting: "Mother, the luggage of the second and third masters has been delivered to each hospital, and the mountain goods brought over have also been put into the warehouse, and now the house is hot. , hot water is ready."

Zhulan asked, "Is the pot ready?"

"It's ready, it's served."

Zhulan stood up and said, "They all went to eat first, and after eating, the second child and Chang Lian stayed behind. Mrs. Zhao took the two children back to take a bath and change clothes. Mrs. Dong also went back to put their luggage. Changzhi took Rong Zhi with him. Chuan and Mingyun go back, the three of you have a yard."

Zhulan took the lead and went to the main hall to eat. The pot on the table was already open. In winter, there were still few vegetables, only radish and cabbage. There was more meat on the table, and some noodles were rolled out in the kitchen.

Seeing that she was all seated, Zhulan didn't move. She was waiting for her to speak, "Don't look at it, hurry up to eat, rest after eating, and say anything else at night."

When the words fell, Zhou Lao Er and others dared to eat with chopsticks.

Zhulan had eaten at noon, and sat on the side to serve food to her grandchildren. Little guy Mingrui had a good appetite even if he caught a cold. He even picked meat to eat, "Slow down, slow down, no one is vying with you."

Mingrui swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Grandma, I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Lao Er, Zhou Lao Er, "Mother, don't listen to his nonsense, you even ate meat buns this morning!"

Ming Rui, "What I'm saying is that I haven't eaten meat like this for a long time."

Bamboo Orchid, ""

Come on, Zhou Lao Er doesn't have to joke that the boss has a bad son, he also has one.

Zhou Lao Er gritted his teeth. This kid is a jerk. Every time he wants to express his meaning and what he wants to say, it is far from what he wants to say. Later, he figured out that this kid did it on purpose, especially when he was unhappy.

This kid is angry that he didn't give him a meal at noon, and seeing that grandma is so powerful, this kid definitely did it on purpose, look at the excited little eyes!

Butler Ding came with the doctor, and Zhulan asked the doctor to check the pulse of Zhou Lao Er and his party one by one.

Only Ming Rui caught a little cold, and the others were all right. The doctor prescribed the medicine and left.

Zhao Shi and other doctors left and explained, "This kid has a stubborn temper, so he didn't wear thick cotton-padded clothes, so he caught a cold after tossing around."

Zhulan held the teacup and looked at Zhao, who was flustered by her mother-in-law, "Mother."

Zhulan found out that Ming Rui was not stubborn. The Zhao family did not take children lightly for more than a year. Ming Rui was not only picky eaters, but also put food that he didn't like in Zhao family's bowl. He even provoked his father just now. So used to it is useless.

Zhou Lao Er also couldn't eat it. He really didn't find that his son was used to it. He was very happy to fight with him, but when he got home, he had more children, and it immediately showed that his son's temper was very different. I listened.

Zhou Lao Er couldn't help looking at Ming Teng, who was the most noisy. Ming Teng sat obediently with his back straight. Even if he didn't eat, his eyes didn't wander. When they were eating, he didn't say a word. pass.

Zhou Lao Er pursed his lips, "Mother."

Zhu Lan put down the teacup, "Ming Rui is young, but education cannot be neglected. Children should be taught well even if they are young. Ming Rui's things should be packed up and moved to Ming Teng's house. The two of them live together as brothers and will prosper in the future. Wisdom enlightens Mingrui."

Changzhi was stupid, how could it still be his business? It was enough for him to teach a Ming Teng. The mother didn't say the word, and immediately changed her words to the mother's eyes, "I listen to the mother."

He deeply realized what his mother said, and when he thought of the book he was thinking about, he agreed to many conditions from his mother!

Zhulan snorted, stood up and said, "I'll go back to the house first, the second child and Chang Lian have finished eating, and everyone else should leave!"

Zhulan left, and Zhou Lao Er hurriedly said, "Big brother, tell my brother about the situation in Lizhou."

Boss Zhou pouted in his heart. At this time, he was calling eldest brother affectionately. It was not the hard-hearted brother who was at the door just now. The embarrassed brother smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

Boss Zhou told everything that happened, how much money was invested in the family and how much money was made, he talked about everything, and Boss Zhou spoke very coolly, and he could help his mother alone.

Zhou Lao Er's heart sank. He was still thinking about taking over the job from the eldest brother. He didn't expect that the eldest brother could handle it very well. The only thing he could fight for was the eldest brother. The younger brother is going to take the imperial examination. He can't compare. Now that even the eldest brother is up, what advantage does he have?

Chang Lian didn't care about the second brother who was thinking about it, he was very angry with the eldest brother. Now that he is home, he should give it to the eldest brother. He took out a silver note from his purse, "Brother, this is the money that my sister-in-law made by selling her son. Here it is."

Boss Zhou didn't understand, Chang Lian explained the process again, and then Boss Zhou understood, one thousand taels, although it belongs to his daughter-in-law, but he is also from the big house. To say that these two younger brothers did not write at all, Zhou Boss is very happy, this is jealous!

There were times when he was envied by his younger brothers, it was so refreshing to think about it!

Li Shi was about to faint with joy, "Is this one thousand taels?"

Boss Zhou smiled, "Yes, one thousand taels."

Li quickly put it away, "This is the biggest happy event since my pregnancy."

With one thousand taels, she can save some dowry for her daughter!

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong looked at each other. Just now, they were all focused on their mother-in-law, but now they found out that the sister-in-law was pregnant again. Then they looked at the sister-in-law's jewelry, the whole set of jewelry, the head and the cape were also newly made, and the two looked at the sister-in-law. , sister-in-law's dress is no worse than sister-in-law.

The hearts of the two are sour. Did the mother-in-law raise her sister-in-law as her daughter?

A quarter of an hour later, Zhulan waited for the two brothers Zhou Lao Er and Chang Lian. Seeing Zhou Lao Er holding the account book, Zhu Lan felt that Zhou Lao Er was careful, "Bring it here and have a look."

Zhou Lao Er handed over the ledger, and took out the silver note, "Mother, this is the money for selling the house. The money for selling food in the past two years has been spent on hired teams and guards, and the rest is spent on mushrooms. Mountain goods."

Zhulan didn't look at it and responded, motioning for Zhou Lao Er and Chang Lian to sit down, "You guys have some apples, it's yours."

Zhou Lao Er and the two brothers responded They have been thinking about Apple for a long time. This is a good thing. The artist took a bite and nibbled at it slowly. The two brothers looked at each other and went home comfortably.

Zhu Lan believed that Zhou Er did not dare to make false accounts. Zhou Lao Er was shrewd and would not like these petty profits. Zhu Lan directly skipped the expenses and paid more attention to the gift list received. Zhou Lao Er was careful. The squires and others all remembered the gifts very clearly, how many vases, how many calligraphy and paintings, who they came from, and the valuations that follow.

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, Zhou Lao Erjing, this is trying to show her ability through the ledger!

Zhulan estimated the money, and the main thing was to receive gifts. The most expensive part was calligraphy and painting. There were many people who only had the courage to make a fortune in the war. Those who didn’t know the calligraphy and painting thought it was worthless, and the hands of the literati were treasures.

Zhulan asked, "Did you bring it all over?"

Zhou Lao Er put down the apple in his hand, "I sealed the box and brought it, and my hometown is arranged according to what my mother said."

Zhu Lan closed the ledger, "I know you are careful, your clerk can rest assured. Tell me about your eldest sister's family?"
