Chapter 386： smart

Boss Zhou was relieved to see that Mother was all right, and saw that Mother kept looking at the port as if she was looking for someone, "Mother, are you looking for the second brother?"

Zhulan blinked, "I seem to have seen Wang Ru just now."

Boss Zhou was very impressed with Wang Ru. Well, he couldn't even forget it if he wanted to. Many of the things he eats now have something to do with Wang Ru, "Mother, wasn't she kidnapped?"

He always thought that Wang Ru was dead. He was not stupid. Wang Ru had too many secrets, and people with too many secrets generally died quickly.

Zhulan naturally remembered, "I saw her just now, and it seemed that she was disfigured."

There was a long scar on her face. If it wasn't for Zhulan paying too much attention to Wang Ru, she almost didn't recognize it, or she didn't know how the scar came from.

Boss Zhou looked at the distance between the deck and the port market, "Mother, did you read it wrong?"

Don't you say that when you get older, do your eyes get blurry? The mother must be wrong.

Zhulan withdrew her gaze, "Maybe."

Boss Zhou thought that it was his mother who saw it wrong. He didn't believe that he would have met Wang Ru by chance, and her mother had not seen Wang Ru for a long time. How could she recognize Wang Ru?

Zhulan's intuition told her that it was Wang Ru. She didn't know what Wang Ru went through or how Wang Ru ran away, but from what she saw, she knew that Wang Ru was really smart. Following a boy who was four or five years older than Wang Runeng, the two were talking and laughing while carrying a bamboo basket and picking out the cloth. She could see that the boy's bamboo basket was full of heavy items. There are some fabrics in the bamboo basket.

Wang Ru's smile was something she had never seen before, and the smile on her face came from the bottom of her heart without concealment.

Zhulan thought to herself, if she really didn't recognize the wrong person, this would be fine. As long as Wang Ru is willing to live in a dull life and can live wisely in the future, the Zhou family and Wang Ru will no longer be involved.

The docking time of the ship is over, and Zhou Lao Er bought a lot of fruit and came up, "Mother, I tasted bananas that are very sweet. I bought some and you can try them."

Zhulan saw that the bananas were fully ripe. These ripe bananas were handled by the fruit merchant on the boat. Zhulan broke one off and said, "Eat them too."

Two days later, Zhulan got off the boat. She sat on the boat for seven days and finally stepped on the ground.

Zhulan bought a lot of things. When she came, she came in four carriages, and on the way back, she hired two carriages.

The farther north, the colder the weather, Zhulan put on the padded jacket again, and many of the pears and other fruits she brought back were frozen. Among Zhulan’s university classmates, there are frozen pears in the north, and even if the pears are frozen slowly. It is also edible.

The vegetables were damaged a lot because of the freezing, so they had to hurry back to the city.

Zhulan continued to hurry. Inside the imperial palace, the emperor drank the soup and listened to the news reported by the prince from various places. He had to read it at the end of each year, and there was information about the officials of various states.

The first time the prince came into contact with the prince, the prince suppressed the fervor in his heart. This was already a secret that only the emperor knew. These aggregated information contained all the news of officials from all over the country breaking the law and discipline. He dared not guess or think about why the emperor let him contacted.

But I can't control my heart. Isn't the father afraid that he will win over the ministers behind his father's back after knowing the weaknesses of the officials in various places?

The emperor drank the soup slowly, seemingly careless, but the emperor kept paying attention to the prince. The emperor hid the deep meaning in his eyes. When he read Zhou Shuren in Lizhou City, the emperor almost didn't swallow the water he gargles.

The prince read it carefully again, and he did not read it wrong.

The emperor stretched out his hand, "Bring it to me to see."

The prince handed it to his father, and the prince thought to himself, he really convinced Lord Zhou.

The emperor looked at it in ten lines, "Why do I think that our Lord Zhou is too talented in Lizhou, a few words cost 20,000 taels of silver, talent!"

The prince also thinks that he is talented. He is a prince who is short of money. Don’t look at how well dressed he is. It is all prepared in the palace. The furnishings in the house are indeed antiques, but unfortunately they are all gifts and cannot be sold. He cannot use the dowry of the prince. , I can't afford to lose this person, I finally made a little money, barely enough to spend!

The money in his hand is still obtained by Yao Zheyu. The father is not soft to Yao Zheyu, so he doesn't need to be polite. The Yao family is like Jinshan. Compared with Lord Zhou, Yao Zheyu is not enough to watch, he thinks Lord Zhou is more likely to cheat money!

When the emperor saw that the jade he gave was carved into jewelry by Zhou Shuren, he thought about a loser, and felt that such a person was very good. According to the information he investigated, Zhou Shuren really loved his wife very much.

Zhoujia Village, the New Year's gift from Zhulan to her hometown has arrived. Ma Eryue did not go back to Li's house to meet her parents first, but went directly to the old house to meet the eldest lady.

Xuemei read the explanation in her mother's letter in her hand and asked, "Is everything all right?"

Er Yue said respectfully, "Mother and father are fine."

Xuemei believed that Ma Eryue would not lie to her, and she didn't look at the clothes and jewelry her mother gave her. Seeing that it was getting late, "Are you going to stay for a rest, or go back to the house in Lijia Village?"

Ma Eryue said: "The villain will go back to the house in Lijia Village to see his parents and come over early tomorrow."

Xuemei said, "Then I won't leave you."

"Yes."

Xuemei waited for Ma Eryue to leave, and let her daughter watch her two younger brothers. The new year's gifts that her mother prepared, each house was individually decorated, and her family's Ma Eryue moved into the house.

Xuemei touched the money in the box. She originally planned to look at the foundation and construction of the house after the year and her mother sent the money. She also thought that if it was not enough to sell one or two pieces of jewelry.

Xuemei misses her mother even more. Although her mother is not in her hometown, she always misses them. She said that the New Year's money she gave was actually subsidized money.

Xuemei took out the apples, some of them were frostbitten. Xuemei was going to eat them later at night. Frostbite can also be eaten. She took out the good apples and kept them warm in the house, and then gave them to the children when there was no cold air.

After Xuemei packed her things, Jiang Sheng returned with her son.

Jiang Sheng saw the carriage in the yard, "A New Year's gift from my mother?"

Xuemei nodded with a smile, "Yes, I escorted them back in February. I have already cleaned up our family. The rest are the family of the patriarch, the family of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, the family of the third younger brother and sister, and your family."

Jiang Sheng was stunned, but soon recovered, holding his wife's hand. His mother-in-law always thinks about his wife. This year, the Jiang family's New Year's ceremony is also on his wife's face.

After the father-in-law became an official, the meaning of the New Year's gift was even more different. The Jiang family received the New Year's gift, not only to recognize the Jiang family's in-laws, but also to give the Jiang family a certain degree of protection. Ten miles and eight villages will not bully Jiang because of the face of the Yue family. Family.

As for whether the Jiang family would use his father-in-law's reputation to do bad things, after Jiang Sheng heard what his wife said about the New Year's gift to the Jiang family, he knew that he didn't have to worry, and his mother-in-law had taken it all into consideration.

Jiang Sheng felt that his parents loved him most because they married Xuemei for him, "Thank you."

Xuemei smiled, "My parents are also yours, no need to say thank you."

Time passed quickly, Zhulan had already passed through Chuanzhou and entered the boundary of Lizhou, and Zhulan sent someone to go back to the house to inform.
