Chapter 1812： only a sense of distance

The carriage arrived at the street of antique calligraphy and painting. The carriage could not enter. Changzhong got off the carriage and helped his fiancée down, and said to his fiancée: "Let's go to Jingyi Pavilion first. I heard that Mr. Wu has brought a batch of antiques."

Wei Xinyi asked, "Isn't it an antique handled by the Ministry of Housing?"

Changzhong laughed, "Is it really an antique handled by the Ministry of Household, I still need to ask Wu Gongzi?"

Wei Xinyi also smiled, "Then let's go take a look."

The two of them didn't have many guests in Jingyi Pavilion. The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles when he saw Changzhong, "Young Master Zhou, a new batch of antiques has arrived recently. What would you like to see?"

Chang Zhong said, "Take me to see the ornaments."

Wei Xinyi looked at the fan, "You look at the ornaments, I'll look at the fan."

Chang Zhong said: "Alright."

The two carefully selected the gifts and paid the bill. The two left Antique Street and wanted to drink tea. When they passed by the pawnshop Chang Zhong, they heard the sound and opened the curtain of the carriage, only to see a young boy being pushed to the ground holding a jade pendant.

The coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage, because the guys in the Houfu carriage didn't dare to move, they looked at each other and quickly returned to the pawnshop.

The boy had already stood up and was a little embarrassed, "Thank you."

Changzhong opened the car window, "I didn't help you."

"Thank you anyway, or I'll be beaten."

Chang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "I don't think you don't understand, why are you irritating the pawnshop?"

Yang Xiu frowned, "I want to be a jade pendant, but they couldn't hold back when they insulted me."

Changzhong glanced at the jade pendant. How can I say it? The normal purchase and sale of jade pendants can be worth dozens of taels. Of course, the price of the jade pendant is very low. In addition, the household department handles a large number of antique jewelry, and the price of the jade pendant is even lower. Deliberately undercut the price.

Chang Zhong said: "I think you are also a scholar. I heard that your accent is not from Beijing. What difficulties did you encounter?"

Yang Xiu lowered his head, "I am a student who went to Beijing to take the exam. I have paid for all the money on my body. Now, only this jade pendant given by the master can relieve the anxiety."

Chang Zhong was shocked, "You didn't go to Beijing with your companions?"

Yang Xiu pursed his lips and tightened his chin. He was very arrogant. Changzhong asked how old he was, and then he understood. He didn't bully and didn't want to pay attention to this talented young man. Finally, when he heard that it was Chuanzhou Jieyuan, Changzhong blinked. Eyes, "In this way, you will bet me the jade pendant until you have money to redeem it."

In the evening, Changzhong told the fourth brother to listen, and Changzhi asked, "Did he bet on you?"

Changzhong nodded, "It's not that he wants to save face. Although he is still young and has a flexible mind, he wants to continue to refer to it. After one loss, he will have a long memory."

Yang Xiu said that the compensation money was obviously designed by others. Don't think of all the candidates as high-spirited, and many are narrow-minded and vicious.

Changzhi had passed Yang Xiu's school entrance examination, this is a talented person, he went back to the yard and asked the servant to take care of some, and finally felt that he was young and had little knowledge.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to the He family to propose marriage. The He family was very satisfied with Ming Jia. The marriage proposal went smoothly. Ming Jia was like Changzhi. Su Xuan personally taught people the world. favorite.

When Mingjia had settled down, Zhulan called Minghui, "I'll give Shao Ting a face, Jiang Ling understands what I mean, what do you think?"

Minghui has a plan in mind, "Grandson wants to wait for the end of spring."

Zhulan didn't care when she got the accurate news, "You and your mother agreed."

"My grandson understands."

The next day, Zhulan hadn't seen Tao Shi for a long time, "I saw you lose weight again?"

Dow felt that he was getting a lot older, "Our family has lost a lot of weight."

Zhu Lan saw Tao Shi's face was still a little sad, "Are you worried?"

Tao's heart was filled with panic, she was indeed the grandmother of the Wang family, but there were also unsatisfactory things, "It's not for my unsatisfactory family."

Zhulan, "Is something wrong?"

"Well, it's hard to have a good chance, but the father doesn't hurt the stepmother's torture. If I didn't send someone to send the New Year's gift back in advance, the good child would be gone."

Bamboo orchid can't stand the abuse of children, whether in modern or ancient times, "How is the child now?"

Tao Shi was very sullen, "I brought me back to Beijing, and now I am raising it on my dowry village, hey."

Zhulan comforted, "The child is good, and the Tao family can also have hope in the future."

"Oh, good expectations also make them tortured and resentful."

Zhulan, "Do you want to keep it?"

Tao nodded, "Well, I told the master, and the master agreed."

The younger generation of the Tao family still wanted to give her a girl, but she didn't want any of it. It is better to cultivate a man by relying on a woman. Sons are the foundation of a family. The thought of sending a girl to be a concubine for her grandson made her annoyed and disgusted. .

Zhulan asked, "Since you know what to do, don't worry about it."

Tao Shi sighed, "I can talk to you too."

Tao Shi paused and asked, "I heard some news before I went out. Are you really sure about Gu Sheng?"

"You all know the rumor?"

"You didn't hide it, and we're not blind."

Zhu Lan smiled, "It's fixed, just wait until the date is chosen to propose marriage."

If it weren't for the Nanfang family who kept sending posts to visit, Changzhi wouldn't be so high-profile, and their Zhou family didn't want to get involved with the Nanfang family.

As the result spread, Gu Sheng got more attention. Some people wanted to do bad things, but it was a pity that Gu Sheng was at the front line, and Zhou Changzhi was protecting him in the Hanlin Academy. Surprisingly, those who received the post were rejected.

There are dangers as well as benefits. In the Hanlin Academy, everyone will be more polite to him. The only trouble is that Ji Deming depends on him like a dog's skin plaster.

Time passed quickly, and I didn't feel much about this winter. Most of the time had passed, and the twelfth lunar month was approaching the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

The time is getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival, Changzhong has stopped going out, and he has not forgotten to come back with a champion test.

Ming Teng and his wife also returned to the Marquis of Rong'an, and they were going to stay in the Marquis for the first month.

When Ming Teng and his wife came back today, Zhu Lan looked at their clothes and said, "Where did you guys come from?"

Ming Teng replied, "We just came back from Ran's house."

Zhulan noticed that Sun Tzu's tone was wrong, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that her husband didn't want to say anything, Liu Jia could only speak by herself, "Ran Xun's eldest son is gone."

Zhulan hadn't heard the news, but when she thought about it, she realized that the child's death must not be easy. How could this be a scumbag, Mr. Qi, who could only cover up and die in the back house.

Zhulan sighed that it was not easy for this child to grow up so big, "Why not?"

Liu Jia glanced at her husband, "The charcoal fire is not good charcoal, and the child has a cold again. We don't know the specifics, only that the child will be gone in the morning."

Zhulan's heart was heavy. She had seen this child and gave this child a red envelope. The little one was very quiet.

Ming Teng sneered, "Grandma, how can people change so much?"

Zhulan knew that she was talking about Ran Xun, and the big gap between her friends left only a sense of distance, "You?"

Ming Teng knew in his heart that he and Ran Xun couldn't go back. He wanted to comfort Ran Xun, but Ran Xun said that he didn't understand anything. shouldn't have gone.
