Chapter 591： repressed hatred

When Zhou Lao Er saw that everyone was looking at him, he dragged the tray forward, and the jade-carved birthday star said, "Dad, my son wishes you a long and healthy life."

Zhu Lan saw that Changzhong's Yuma and Shouxing Weng's were made of the same material. The second child is a big deal. This gift is not cheap.

Zhou Shuren was very happy on his birthday, "I have a heart."

When Zhou Lao Er saw that his father liked it, he felt at ease, and he didn't waste his time thinking about gifts.

What Chang Lian sent was calligraphy and painting, and the painting was of pine trees. He also mentioned a poem he made by himself. Zhou Shuren read the poem and gave it a high evaluation.

The fourth room's gift was prepared by Su Xuan. It was an only book, and it was rare for Changzhi to have no pain in his face.

Zhou Shuren had already put on Xuehan's gift, and Changzhong had no gift to prepare, so he recited a message of blessing.

Then there are the gifts for the grandchildren. The children of the Zhou family do not spend money indiscriminately, and each has their own small treasury. However, the gifts prepared by Mingyun together are not meant to be compared, and they seem to be very close to each other. lovely.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said to Ming Yun, "Not bad."

Mingyun kept his grandfather's teachings in mind. The descendants of the Zhou family should be united at home, and if they have thoughts, they can only count on outsiders.

Mr. Zhou grinned slyly. He is proud of the big house with many sons, and his son is the eldest grandson. Although he can't study well, he is very good at giving birth to sons. Look, his son has been praised by his father.

Boss Zhou looked at the other two sons, his smile didn't fall, his skin was a little skinny, but he felt comfortable. There were four grandchildren standing in a row, and three of them were in the big house!

Zhou Lao Er looked at Ming Yun greedily, and then put his eyes on Ming Rui. Fortunately, his son is not bad, otherwise he would be even more sour, Yu Guang looked at Chang Lian, the second room has at least one son, and the third room is the only one. I don't know, how does he think that the three rooms are all daughters' lives!

Chang Lian felt the second brother's gaze, what did it mean? It was heartbreaking. He didn't believe it anymore. When the third house had a son, he slapped the second brother in the face.

Changzhi's eyes fell on the lady. Speaking of which, it's been almost a year since he got married. He has worked hard, and the child should come. He is still thinking, he listened to his father's temperament and did not participate in the imperial examination, and he was honest at home for three years. , ready to have two babies!

Su Xuan secretly twisted Chang Zhi, the man stared straight at her, sister-in-law had noticed.

Changzhi hissed, and honestly withdrew his gaze.

The two granddaughters of the Zhou family also prepared gifts together, the scriptures copied by these two girls.

Then it was Wu Hao, and it could not be regarded as a gift prepared by Wu Hao. Wu Ming sent it, it should be said that it was a gift from the Wu family, and there was also a gift from Rong Chuan. The gift of these two people, Rong Chuan's calligraphy and painting were copied. , Wu Ming is an antique bottle.

After his family's gifts were delivered, the guests came to the door one after another. Zhou Shuren regretted that he would not be able to see Zhulan's gifts until evening, so he got up and took his sons to the front yard.

Zhulan is here to welcome the daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law did not bring her daughters and granddaughters. Otherwise, the backyard would not be able to hold it. Today is Zhou Shuren's birthday, and the juniors have all returned to their yard.

Tao Shi sat next to Zhu Lan, "Liu Shi is seriously ill, so it's true."

Zhulan, "How do you say this?"

Mrs Ran answered, "If you are not seriously ill, Mrs Liu will definitely be there on this occasion."

Zhu Lan was silent, so these two always thought Liu Shi was feigning illness.

Tao Shi smiled, "Today I can have a good meal."

Mr. Ran shook his fan, "My ears are also quiet."

Zhulan smiled. In the battle between the Ran family and the Liu family, the Ran family was the winner. She heard from Shuren that the third prince became enthusiastic about Lord Ran again, and the Ran family is now very smooth.

Zhulan looked at Mrs Ran. Mrs. Ran's temperament was indeed good, not to mention Mr. Ran. She also heard Mingyun's words from the grandchildren of the Ran family, and they were also top-notch. , The Ran family is also linked to the prince. If Miss Ran has only a princess and no prince, the grandchildren of the Ran family will be a rare good son-in-law.

It's a pity that Zhou Shuren's official position is not as high as that of Lord Ran.

Tao's information was very well-informed, and he said in a low voice, "The Fifth Prince's mansion is decorated with lights, and the marriage is very grand."

Ran's fan covered the corner of his mouth, "It's all for his own face."

Otherwise, how could the fifth prince care so much about a concubine he married, and it was not because he wanted to save face for himself.

Zhulan thought to herself, she could see it very clearly!

Yao Yao's mansion, Yao Yao sat in her mother's room and picked up Yao Xin's dowry list, "Mother, is this going to be too much? No matter what, you're going to marry the fifth prince and be the concubine."

There are no valuable items on the dowry list, they are all flashy, which makes people think that Yaohou's mansion has no money.

Bai took the dowry list, "Yao Xin's dowry is from the Hou's house. Your father gave this dowry to me. The ridiculous thing is to pass it from my hands."

Over the years, she has carried so many blames for the master, and she is getting more and more tired.

Yao Yao squinted her eyes. Dad used to be so close to the Fifth Prince, but now he treats Yao Xin so much that he dislikes the Fifth Prince, "Dad is really hurtful, so he doesn't look down on the Fifth Prince, why did he use me as a pawn?"

When Bai Shi heard that, she clenched her fists To the master, the three of them were just pawns, and the hatred that had been suppressed was rolling in their eyes.

In the afternoon, the Zhou family's banquet broke up, and Zhou Shuren was drunk a lot. It was a rare opportunity to not be afraid of being tricked by Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren drank too much.

Zhulan sent away the officials and family members, and counted the gifts they sent. Many of the gifts were sent by merchants from Jinzhou. All the gifts arrived, and no one could come in.

There was a whole small half of the house. After Zhulan looked at it, she said, "I'm going to make a fortune after my birthday."

These things have been sold, and it is about to catch up with the income of the last half of the year.

Mrs. Song said, "I still have to change it back."

"That's right, the left hand is the right hand."

Mrs. Song thought, this is just a gift between officials. When you enter the capital, there will be more powerful families. If you don’t go, you won’t show face. If you go, you will give gifts. Well, it doesn't really matter in general.

Zhulan classified the gifts and registered them. It was getting dark, so she stood up and rubbed her arms. She was getting old, how long it was before her arms were sore.

Back at the house, Zhou Shuren was washing his face, Zhu Lan asked, "Why didn't you rest for a while?"

Zhou Shuren had a hoarse voice and drank a few glasses of water before saying, "I miss your gift."

Zhulan laughed, "I'll take it out now."

Zhou Shuren pressed his eyebrows, sat on the chair and waited. It doesn't matter how bright his smile is today, these people are trying to give him a headache.

Zhu Lan took out the paintings and showed them to Zhou Shuren one by one, "This is a gift. I will draw one every year on your birthday in the future."
