Five hundred and ninetieth chapters suppressed hatred
When Zhou Laoer saw everyone watching him, he dragged the tray forward and carved a jade birthday man. "Dad, my son wishes you good health and longevity."
When Zhulan saw that Changzhong's jade horse and birthday boy were made of the same material. The second brother was really generous, and this gift was not cheap.
Zhou Shuren was very happy to celebrate his birthday, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that his father liked him, he felt at ease and it was not in vain that he had to worry about his thoughts and gifts.
Chang Lian gave calligraphy and paintings, and there was pine on the painting. He also mentioned a poem he made himself on the side. Zhou Shuren had read the poem and gave a high evaluation.
The gift from the fourth room was prepared by Su Xuan, a lonely book, and it was rare that Changzhi had no painful expression on his face.
Zhou Shuren has already worn Xuehan's gift, and Changzhong has no gift to prepare, so he recited a blessing sentence.
Then there are gifts from grandchildren. The Zhou family's children are all those who don't spend money indiscriminately, and each has their own small treasury. However, the gifts prepared by Mingyun and the others together have no meaning of comparing, which makes the brothers very loving.
Zhou Shuren touched his beard and said to Mingyun: "Not bad."
Mingyun kept in mind his grandfather's teachings. The descendants of the Zhou family must be united at home. If they have the heart, they can only plot against outsiders. They stick to their backs. The idea is what he thinks, and he can afford to his grandfather's praise.
Mr. Zhou grinned and silly. He was proud of his son's big house and his eldest grandson. Although he was not good at studying, he was still very good at giving birth to a son. Look, his son has received praise from his father.
Boss Zhou looked at his other two sons and his smile did not fall. He was a little bit sarcastic, but he felt comfortable. He had four grandchildren in a row, including three of them!
Zhou Laoer looked at Mingyun with jealousy and turned his eyes to Mingrui. Fortunately, his son was not bad, otherwise he would be even more sore. Yu Guang looked at Chang Lian. The second house had at least one son, so I don’t know if the third house was a daughter!
Chang Lian felt the second brother's gaze, what did it mean? He was heartbroken, but he didn't believe it anymore. When the third wife had a son, he slapped the second brother in the face.
Changzhi's eyes fell on his wife. He said that it has been almost a year since he got married, and he has worked hard and the child is coming. He is still thinking that he will not participate in the imperial examination after listening to his father's temper. He stayed at home for three years and is preparing to have two children!
Su Xuan secretly twisted Changzhi, and the man stared at her, and his sister-in-law had noticed it.
Chang Zhi hissed and honestly withdrew his gaze.
The Zhou family’s granddaughters also prepared gifts together, and the scriptures copied by these two girls.
Then it was Wu Ning, which could not be regarded as a gift prepared by Wu Ning. The gift from Wu Ming should be said to be a gift from the Wu family, including Rong Chuan’s gift. The gifts from these two people, Rong Chuan’s copy calligraphy and paintings, and Wu Ming was an antique bottle.
After giving his family's gifts, the guests also came to the door one after another. Zhou Shuren regretted that he would have to wait until the evening to see Zhulan's gifts, so he got up and took his sons to the front yard.
Zhulan welcomes the female relatives, but fortunately the female relatives did not bring their daughters and granddaughters, otherwise the backyard would not be able to be installed. Today is Zhou Shuren's birthday, and the younger generations have returned to their yard.
Tao sat next to Zhulan, "Liu is seriously ill, so it's true."
Zhulan, “How do you say this?”
Ran answered, "If I weren't seriously ill, Liu would definitely have this occasion."
Zhulan was silent, so these two people always thought that Liu was pretending to be sick.
Tao smiled, "I can have a good meal today."
Ran shook the fan, "The ears are quiet."
Zhulan smiled. Ran was the winner in the battle between Ran and Liu. She heard Shuren that the third prince was enthusiastic about Lord Ran again, and the Ran family is now very happy.
Zhulan looked at Ran. Ran's personality was indeed good, not to mention Lord Ran. She also heard Mingyun say that the grandchildren of the Ran family were also outstanding. Zhulan picked up a teacup and drank tea, but she had thoughts in her heart. The Ran family was also linked to the prince. If Miss Ran had only a princess but no prince, the grandchildren of the Ran family would be a rare son-in-law.
It’s a pity that Zhou Shuren’s official position is not as high as Lord Ran, and his eldest son is white again. He married a daughter from a high family and was angry.
Tao was well-informed and said in a low voice: "The Fifth Prince's Mansion is decorated with lights and it is very grand to marry a wife."
Ran's fan blocked the corner of his mouth, "It's all for his own face."
Otherwise, how could the fifth prince care so much about a concubine daughter he married? He just wanted to give himself face.
Zhulan thought to herself that she could see it very clearly!
Yao Marquis’ Mansion, Yao Yao sat in her mother’s room and picked up Yao Xin’s dowry list, “Mom, is this too much? No matter what, she will marry the fifth prince as the official concubine.”
There are no valuable items on the dowry list, they are all flashy, which makes people think that the Yao Hou Mansion is in a down-and-out and has no money.
Bai took the dowry list, "Yao Xin's dowry was given by the Hou Mansion. Your father gave me this dowry, which is ridiculously necessary to pass through me."
Over the years, she has taken the blame for the master and is getting tired.
Yao Yao squinted her eyes. My father was so close to the fifth prince in the past. Now, he disliked Yao Xin so much. "Dad is really hurtful. He looks down on the fifth prince so much. Why did he use me as a chess piece?"
Bai clasped his fists tightly when he heard this. The three of them were just chess pieces to the master, with a constant repression in his eyes.
In the afternoon, the Zhou family’s banquet ended, and Zhou Shuren was drunk a lot. The rare opportunity was that he was not afraid of being plotted against by Zhou Shuren, and Zhou Shuren drank too much.
Zhulan sent away the officials and counted the gifts they sent. Some of the gift lists were sent by merchants in Jinzhou. They were all gifts and people couldn't get in.
Half a house was piled up. After seeing Zhulan, she said, "I made a fortune on my birthday."
These things have been sold, and they are almost catching up with the Zhou Mansion’s income for more than half a year.
Mrs. Song said, "I still have to change it back."
"That's right, just turn your left hand into your right hand."
Mrs. Song thought to herself that this is just a gift from officials. When you enter the capital, there are more powerful families. If you don’t go, you won’t give face. If you go, you will have to give gifts. For some powerful families who made their fortunes in war, there are too many good things, and you will not look down on them.
Zhulan classified the gift and registered it. It was almost dark. She stood up and rubbed her arms. It was old, and it was only how long it took for her to hurt her arms.
Back at the house, Zhou Shuren was washing his face, Zhulan, "Why didn't you take a long rest?"
Zhou Shuren's voice was hoarse, and after drinking a few glasses of water, he said, "I'm thinking about your gift."
Zhulan laughed, "I'll take it out now."
Zhou Shuren pressed his eyebrows and sat on the chair waiting. It was useless to smile so brightly today. These people were so desperate that they felt a headache.
