Time flies, in a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the days have entered November.
Zhulan looked at the snow scene outside the door. The first snow of the year was not small. It had only been falling for half an hour, and the ground had already been covered.
Zhulan motioned Liuya to put down the curtains, and the room immediately became dark. Speaking of which, Zhulan has been in ancient times for several years, and she hates gloomy weather more and more. Light a candle to make it brighter.
This kind of atmosphere is really easy to make people depressed, and Zhulan misses the glass windows.
Zhulan was yawning. She had just woken up not long ago, and she was a little drowsy again. This weather is the most suitable for sleeping.
Zhulan just got up and was about to go back to hug her son and go back to sleep when Xuehan came in wearing a cape, behind Liuli shaking the snow on the umbrella, Liu Ya had already taken Xuehan's cape.
Zhulan looked at the ledger in her daughter's hand, paused, and waved, "Come over and warm up."
Xuehan blushed, "Mother, it's not cold outside."
Zhulan took the account book and reached out to look at it. This is the account of the previous month. I remember each one very clearly, and then put down the account book.
Xuehan, "This gentleman didn't come because he asked for leave, so I came over after I couldn't stay in the house."
She really has no place to go. Sister Wu has the most schoolwork. Even if her husband asks for leave, she still has to work on her schoolwork. Yushuang and Yulu have to help take care of their younger brothers and sisters. As for the fourth sister-in-law, she is really not popular with the fourth brother. .
As soon as Zhulan thinks about it, she doesn't need to go back to sleep. "It's just that you are idle today. I'll go to the warehouse with me to choose some furs, and when winter comes, I will distribute the winter furs for each room."
Xuehan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The fur in the warehouse will be taken care of every time. Zhulan feels a sense of accomplishment every time she comes here. She saves it and feels the white fur, "This is for you."
Xuehan's eyes are bright, and white fur is rare. A few days ago, she and her fourth sister-in-law went to the fur shop to see them, and many of them were not as good as their own, "Thank you, mother."
Zhulan pointed to the black mink, "This is for Rong Chuan. Then again, I haven't seen Rong Chuan in the past few days. What is he doing?"
Xuehan's heart is full of love, "He is helping Master Shi to copy calligraphy and painting, and has been in the study."
Zhulan, "Your father praised this kid's copying!"
A few days ago, Zhou Shuren asked Shi Qing to copy the letter, and when he came back, Zhou Shuren kept saying that Rong Chuan was a genius.
Xuehan stiffened her back. She was proud of Rong Chuan, but her mouth was modest, "He's still a long way off!"
Zhulan laughed, this girl, "Shi Qing, please ask Rong Chuan to copy the calligraphy and painting, please give me some favors."
Xuehan's ears reddened, "Well, the reward for a piece of calligraphy and painting is thirty taels."
Rong Chuan has drawn five or six pictures recently. Rong Chuan said that taking advantage of the rare opportunity to save another shop, this is a dowry gift for her.
Zhulan didn't want to speak anymore, and the women's college was not allowed to stay.
After quickly choosing the fur, Zhulan took Xuehan back to the house. The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Xuehan went back.
In the afternoon, the snow stopped, and snowy days are the most suitable for eating pots, and pots are eaten at night.
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, no matter how well Zhou Shuren concealed it, she could see that Zhou Shuren was suppressing anxiety!
After dinner, Zhou Shuren hugged his son, the little guy wouldn't let him hold him, Zhou Shuren didn't let go, the angry little guy shouted ahhh, and finally cried earth-shatteringly.
Zhulan hugged her son, and the little guy didn't mention his grievances, "Okay, okay, mother said daddy, don't cry anymore."
Zhulan noticed the finger prints on the child's arm and patted the aggrieved little guy, but she kept looking at Zhou Shuren who was in a daze, something must have happened today, so Zhou Shuren was so absent-minded.
A little bit of time passed, the little guy in Zhulan's arms, holding Zhulan's hair with one hand and holding the clothes all the time, soon fell asleep, Zhulan carefully put down the child, and opened her son little by little There was nothing in his hand, and the little guy was about to wake up. Zhulan quickly put the handkerchief she was using into her son's hand, and patted it for a while before the son fell asleep.
Zhou Shuren frowned, "When did this kid develop the habit of grabbing things?"
Zhulan sat up and said, "It's been over a month, which means I've grown my heart, so I can't be fooled."
Zhou Shuren pressed his eyebrows. He was very busy. He came back late and paid less attention to his son. He reached out and touched his son's fleshy face, "He is the happiest in the family when he is carefree. ."
Zhulan pulled the quilt and lay in, "It's getting late, hurry up and go to bed."
Zhou Shuren stood up and blew out the candle. Zhu Lan and the others lay down before asking, "What happened?"
"I am shocked by the grass. All the people I sent are dead. This one is in the yamen, and the tableware and chopsticks I use are poisonous."
Zhulan sat up at once, startled, Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan to lie down, "There will be no accident with someone around me."
Zhulan pursed her lips, "There's still one sparse for a hundred secrets, how can you be sure that nothing goes wrong."
Zhulan was really frightened. Poisoning, she had never come into contact with her before, but this time she did. She thought that once she caught the grass and scared the snake, she would definitely retaliate, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Zhou Shuren was also a little frightened, because the poison was sealed by blood, and he really looked down on him. This is because he felt that he had become a serious problem. Speaking of which, if he checked slowly, he would not be so quick to scare the snake. It was because of the emperor. The reason, a comprehensive investigation, come on, he became the first person to be retaliated against.
Hard work, since he stepped into the officialdom, he has been on guard, he has been gathering useful people, poisoning and other means, all of which are guarded by him, even if there are no people sent by the emperor to follow, he is also prepared.
He lost his composure because he was worried about Zhulan and the child. His son was still a baby under one year old. The most vulnerable existence was.
Zhou Shuren patted Xuehan on the shoulder Don't worry, I'm really prepared, but you should restrain your family more recently. "
Zhulan nodded, "I see, I won't let them out recently."
Zhou Shuren put his arms around Zhu Lan, "Don't worry about me, this time I dared to openly poison the emperor. It is already a clear challenge to the emperor. I won't do anything to me easily, but I'm afraid to do it to you."
Zhulan's heart tightened, because Zhou Shuren was right, "Can I understand that, you have found the key thing?"
Zhou Shuren didn't want Zhulan to think about it, so it's better not to know about it, "I can't tell you about it."
Zhulan opened her mouth and swallowed her words, "I won't ask."
Zhou Shuren was poisoned, because in the yamen, this matter could not be concealed.
The emperor was the first to know the news. For the emperor, Zhou Shuren was a blessed general and a very capable confidant. When he got the news, he sent someone to Jinzhou to protect him.
