Zhulan continued to read the letters in her hand. Changyi was living a good life. Now the countess has gained power, which greatly facilitated Changyi and other officials to go on duty.

Cooperation started with the Countess returning with them. This year, the Countess built a fief, and the lives of the people in the fief improved, and they also had soldiers loyal to themselves. Of course, these were not the main ones, but the Countess was reengaged. The one who was engaged was a duke who had no heirs. The duke was already middle-aged, so it was obvious that this marriage was a benefit.

Zhulan has no feelings after seeing it. From the bold countess who dared to cross the ocean, she knew that this would be the result.

Wang came very quickly, and Zhulan didn't go around the corner. "Mingshan is not suitable for abroad. He fell ill several times. This time, Changyi asked for an imperial edict. When the emperor agreed to bring the decree, Mingshan will be able to return to China next year."

Wang didn't think it was a happy thing. This year, she felt that it was the most free day in her life. Her husband couldn't get into the Earl's Mansion. She could. She was in charge of the family and didn't have to deal with her husband. As for the concubine's body, she had better care, but unfortunately the daughter she gave birth to was not in good health.

She doesn't resent her concubine and concubine daughter. She knows that the root cause lies in her husband, so she still takes good care of her concubine and concubine daughter. She is not blindly kind-hearted.

Because she knew her husband, she was very careful and would not look at her concubine who betrayed him when she came back, let alone a concubine.

When Zhulan saw Wang's silence, she clicked a little letter paper. Changyi's letter would not exaggerate. It can be seen that Mingshan's illness is very serious and the journey back is not close. It is still unknown whether Mingshan can come back if he has a life.

Moreover, Zhulan's eyes were deep. Mingshan's operations back then obviously made the emperor dislike. Will the imperial physician really treat a person who was disliked by the emperor?

Wang came back to his senses, "This year my husband only sent back one letter, thank you for telling me."

Bamboo orchid, “Yeah.”

Wang left, Zhulan stood up and looked at the things Changyi brought back. These were for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, and the other rooms had been divided.

Zhulan likes a set of wine utensils made of silver. The wine glass is inlaid with emeralds. Zhulan notices it at a glance. Changyi's letter mentioned that this was a gift given to the envoys by the king, and Changyi gave it to her.

The other items are exquisite and distinctive items. I picked a few bamboo orchids and went to the warehouse to seal the entire set of jewelry in the box to choose jewelry.

Qingxue looked at the head and face that had picked a set of rubies and came out, "Is this going to send it to the young lady?"

Zhulan turned around to look for the jade pendant and said, "This time Xuemei and her husband are officially engaged when they go back. My grandmother wants to bring out a meeting gift."

Qingxue reached out to help him with it herself, and saw that the mistress chose two pairs of jade pendants, and finally stopped satisfied.

Zhulan said to Qingxue: "Send someone to send it over."

Qingxue, "Yes."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back to see the letter. Zhou Shuren was silent for a moment and said, "Mingshan will not come back alive."

Zhulan put down the pen in her hand, "I think so too."

Zhou Shuren picked up the pen in his wife's hand and wrote the lyrics next to the painting he drew. After he finished writing, Zhou Shuren continued: "Not to mention our son and grandson are outstanding, just say that the Zhou clan and the Zhou clan have well trained their descendants. The emperor paid attention to it. The court needs balance, which is destined to the number of people entering the court."

Zhou Shuren took advantage of his bloodline, and because he was just starting out, the emperor hoped that the Zhou family would occupy a certain amount of power in the court, which also represented the power controlled by the royal family, so he supported Changyi and others, otherwise Changyi would not have been promoted to the sixth rank before leaving.

Mingshan's good cards, the first Zhou clan who stayed in Beijing, should have summarized the Zhou family's forces and helped the Zhou family, but unfortunately, the good cards were so bad.

Now there are better and more suitable people in the Zhou clan, so there is no need for Mingshan to exist.

Zhulan waited for the handwriting on the painting to dry up, and said, "Actually, the will of Mingshan's mission means there is no chance of survival."

This also shows that Mingshan’s illness is very strange. It is impossible for no one to do anything when he gets sick several times.

Zhou Shuren, "Well, since Wang often comes, you can take care of him if you have time."

All the major families in the capital are in balance. If there are descending, there will naturally be some who will go up. From the beginning to the end, there will be no one who will dominate the whole family. The emperor has always controlled the balance.

The couple worked together to put away the painting. This is a butterfly picture drawn by Zhulan himself. The painting looks good, but it is just a sign. If Zhou Shuren had not filled in the lyrics, the painting would have no value to put away.

This is the state of mind. Zhulan cannot be free and easy as a eldest son-in-law, she is a very ordinary person.

The next day, Changzhong accompanied his mother to cut flowers and looked at the cut branches, "Fortunately, our garden is big enough and there are enough flower beds. Otherwise, at the speed of my mother cutting every few days, she would be bald sooner or later."

Zhulan stared at her son, "I have regular cuts, so where is the serious thing you said?"

Changzhong spread his hands and did not argue. Mother was the family’s reason. Mother said everything was right. He reached out to take the flower basket from the girl’s hand and came to her side, "Mingyun is back to Ran’s house?"

Zhulan put the flowers in her son's hands, "Well, he and Ran Wan are going back to participate in the provincial examination. They will leave in a few days and go back to take a look."

Chang Zhong said oh.

Zhulan looked at her son in confusion, "What is your tone?"

Chang Zhong laughed, "My son didn't expect that his eldest nephew, who had a stern face all day, would be so careful with his wife."

Zhulan, "My wife is the one who will accompany you all your life. You will know when you get married."

Chang Zhong, "Mom, I'm still young, I won't get married if I'm under twenty."

Zhulan also hopes that her son will get married late, but she is not young anymore. She doesn't know if she can wait until her son is twenty years old. She is in a good mood for a while. "The flowers are enough, let's go back too."

Changzhong felt that his mother was unhappy, "Mom, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with your son?"

Zhulan, "There is nothing wrong. My mother just sighed. It would be great if my mother was ten years younger."

The other four sons in the family have made arrangements, but the youngest son is still young. Although he has made many plans for his younger son, he doesn't watch it with his own eyes and is thinking about it.

Chang Zhong hugged his mother's arm, "Mom and father will live a hundred years old and will watch the whole house of sons and grandchildren."

Zhulan lit her youngest son's forehead, "Then your father and I will not be old monsters."

Changzhong was panicked inside. He wouldn't have thought about it before. Suddenly he realized what he would do if his parents were gone. Changzhong couldn't help but hug his mother's arm tightly.

Zhulan let her son hug her, and knew that she was scared to her younger son.

Ran Wan and Qi went to the backyard at the Ran family. Ran was taking their grandson-in-law to the study, and Ran was about to take the school entrance exam.
