Chapter 286 Engagement
Zhulan naturally remembered that she wondered why she only saw Wang Xin on the way to the capital, but not Wang Rong. "Have she returned to the village?"
Xuemei nodded, "Not only did she come back, but she was also engaged."
Zhulan was surprised, "Wang Rong got engaged. If I remember correctly, Wang Rong was twelve years old this year."
Xuemei was surprised and said, "We and Wang Rong returned to the village. The man brought the matchmaker to send Wang Rong back. Wang Rong's girl was really amazing. The engagement was to try the youngest son of a hundred households who were from the sixth rank. When he returned to the village, he still had a follower, which made Wang Laosi so proud."
Zhulan knew that Wang Rong was a rare shrewd person and a rare sensible person. She didn't expect that this girl was so powerful and had a big span. Wang Laosi had not become a merchant, and Wang Rong was just a village girl. How could he book a military officer's house? And he was still in the Shi family, and he could actually find a good marriage for himself. This girl is amazing.
Zhulan asked, "Have you met the person who got engaged to Wang Rong?"
Xuemei nodded, "I saw it. She is five years older than Wang Rong. She is a little fat, but she looks like a clever one."
Zhulan was curious about Wang Rong, "Is the day decided? Is Wang Rong at home?"
Xuemei said: "It's time to set aside. Three years later, Wang Rong is at home. This time, Wang Rong has settled a marriage and is the daughter-in-law of the Baihu family. No one dares to nominate. Wang Rong is embroidering a dowry at home!"
She met Wang Rong several times, and Wang Rong even took the initiative to talk to her. She didn't dislike Wang Rong, and the little girl was quite clear-headed.
Jiang Sheng came in with a bag, and Zhulan and Xuemei stopped talking. Zhulan signaled Jiang Sheng to put down the two bags.
These two bags were probably going to be home, so Zhulan took time to clean up. Zhulan opened the blue bag and took out the jewelry box to open it. "Your father and I were in a hurry and didn't stroll around the capital. This is the pearl hairpin I bought for you, and a pair of pearl earrings. This pair of pearl earrings was for Miao Miao."
Zhulan put down the jewelry and took out the materials, "The materials that can be bought in Pingzhou are different when you bring them to Beijing. This is the materials you bought in Beijing. It's just the season, so you can make two clothes."
Finally, there are two boxes of dim sum, "The dim sum I bought in Huaizhou City is quite famous. I brought two boxes for you and your children."
As for the jade bracelet and the hairpin with gold and jade inlaid, Zhulan did not give Xuemei in advance. She brought gifts. The jade bracelet and hairpin were prepared for dowry.
Xuemei was not polite to her mother. She used to think that she wanted her mother to take care of her children more, but now there is no need. She brought it back to her and she was happy to be with her parents, "Thank you, mom."
Jiang Sheng became more and more embarrassed. He always got benefits from Yue's family. The thing that his parents loved him the most in his life was to marry Xuemei.
Jiang Miao wanted to eat pastries, but when he was in Pingzhou, he never stopped. It took him a long time to eat it when he got home, "Mom."
Xuemei also had some money in her hand, but she was reluctant to spend it. Her son was going to study, and her husband also had to use pen, ink and paper. These were money. She was pregnant again, so she naturally had to be more careful. She touched her daughter's head and opened the snack box, "Thank you grandparents."
Jiang Miao held the pastry, "Thank you grandparents, Miao Miao likes grandparents the most."
Zhulan kissed Jiang Miao indifferently, "Grandma also likes Miao Miao."
Jiang Sheng interrupted, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are tired all the way, so I will go to the county to buy some wine and food."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "No need, we are going to the patriarch's house. The patriarch's house must prepare food. Just go and cut some grass and come back to feed the horses."
Zhulan took out the gray bag, took out the fabric and snacks from it, then tied the bag, and said to Xuemei: "The rest is what Ming Ge went to your grandmother's house for your grandparents, so you can keep it first."
Xuemei took it, "Yeah."
Zhou Shuren took the fabric and snacks, and Zhulan stood up, "You should take a break, don't wait for your father and I tonight, just leave a door for us."
Xuemei said: "Mom, come back and come to the main room directly. Jiang Sheng and I took the child to the original sister's house."
Zhulan, “Okay, I understand.”
In fact, Zhulan wanted to say there was no need to make trouble, but she and Zhou Shuren were elders after all, and this was the Zhou family. She said no, and her daughter and Jiang Sheng should be frightened.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren arrived at the clan leader's house. The eldest daughter-in-law of Zhou Wang's family was killing chickens. When they saw Zhulan, they smiled and said, "Mom said you will come here and ask me to kill two hens to entertain you. I really let my mother say it."
Zhulan looked at the two hens, "These two hens are fat enough, Shuren and I are so lucky."
Zhou Wang heard the news and came out to greet him, "All the blessings are raised by one's own home, so come and go quickly."
Zhulan gave the fabric and snacks in her hand to Zhou Wangshi, "I came back in a hurry and didn't bring any good things. The fabric was bought in Beijing, and the snacks were bought in Huaizhou City, so I didn't have much fun."
Zhou Wang thought to himself that the couple actually went to the capital city and said, "The fabric in the capital is not a little bit of conscience. My aunt has touched the fabric in the capital for the first time in her life!"
Zhou Wang was tempted with the fabrics rarely. She was shopping in the county's fabric shops. The capital didn't dare to think about it. Today, he borrowed Zhou Shuren and his wife from him. The materials were obviously for her and the old man. Who wouldn't keep this piece of fabric for her to make clothes for herself?
Zhulan asked, "Auntie is so happy lately."
Zhou Wang's eyes moved away from the fabric and smiled and said, "Auntie, everything is fine, I'm worried."
Zhou Wang paused and asked curiously, "You live in Pingzhou City. Have you ever seen Wang Ru? Wang Rong came back to get engaged and came to see me specifically. But every time I ask Wang Ru, Wang Rong said he didn't know. You said the two were sisters, and Wang Ru took Wang Rong away again. How could Wang Rong not know?"
Zhulan didn't hide anything from Wang Ru. When she thought of Wang Ru, she thought of Zhang Sanni and Wang Xin, "Aunt, I'll ask you something first. Have Wang Xin and Zhang Sanni returned to the village?"
Zhou Wang frowned, "Didn't they sign the contract to sell their bodies? How could they come back?"
Zhulan told her about her experience in the capital. She felt that Wang Xin would come back sooner or later because Wang Xin did not have the ability to survive, so Zhang Sanni might not be the case. Everyone will know about Wang Ru's disappearance sooner or later. Moreover, she and Zhou Shuren are members of the Zhou family, so it would be better to inform the patriarch of the clan leader in advance, so as not to find the village in the future, so that they would be prepared.
Zhou Wangshi covered her mouth, "Oh my god!"
After the exclamation, Zhou Wang was not stupid, and the background of his dare to abduct people must be quite small. She had no intention of digging into the bottom line.
Then the Zhou Wang family changed their words and avoided Wang Laosi's family, only talking about the recent changes in the village.
Zhou Wangshi smiled and said, "Last year, the Zheng family collected a lot of dried vegetables. This year, the wild vegetables came out. Every household in the village dug wild vegetables and dried them. I just don't know if the Zheng family still came to collect them this year."
I can’t get the bamboo orchids, and I’m going to use military service this year. “Even if I don’t come and take it, it’s good to keep it for winter to eat.”
"You're right, you can also have more green dishes in winter."
