The next day, the sky was slightly stuffy, and the wind quietly rose.

"Big daughter-in-law!" Chu Chongzhu went out early in the morning, but at this time he came in stride, shouting loudly with joy as he walked, startling the people in the courtyard.

Li Yuniang and Jinlan were in the kitchen, and hurriedly came out with a bamboo basket when they heard the sound.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuniang frowned and looked at Chu Chongzhu and asked.

"What about the eldest daughter-in-law? There is a great joy to tell her. Chu Chongzhu laughed.

"What's the big deal?" Li Yuniang asked in surprise, glanced at Chu Chongzhu, and was a little dissatisfied, "The family is here, why are you only looking for her?" ”

"My lord is so good to my young lady, like a daughter." Jin Lan praised it on the side.

But when Li Yuniang heard this, her face sank more and more.

Chu Erbing and Yuecha were at the door of the study, and there was Jinqing holding a rag on the side, seeing Li Yuniang's face, several people couldn't help but glance at Jinlan.

At this moment, Zhu Yuenuan and Chu Yitong had already heard the voice.

"Dad, what's the good news?" Chu Yitong asked with a smile.

"I just met the chief of security, saying that the drawing we handed over, the government has adopted it, and the prefect has greatly praised it, and has started to build it according to the arrangement, but the drawing involves the Nine Dragon Box, so the blacksmiths over there are all made separately, and I still have to do the assembly." Chu Chongzhu looked extremely happy and beaming.

"You're going to Yuyang Mansion?" Li Yuniang was taken aback, and looked at Chu Chong Hammer and asked.

"The chief said that this is what the prefect meant." Chu Chongzhu explained, turned to Zhu Yuenuan again, and asked with a smile, "Eldest daughter-in-law, look, should we go?" ”

"Daddy. If it is the intention of the prefect, it is not good not to go. Zhu Yuenuan noticed Li Yuniang's burning gaze staring at her, and thought about it slightly. just said.

"That's good, Erbing. Pack up, we'll go. Chu Chongzhu nodded happily, beckoned to Er Bing, and strode towards his room after speaking.

"Hey, why is Er Bing going too?" Li Yuniang hurriedly followed.

Chu Erbing was still stunned, touching his nose a little reluctantly, and his eyes glanced at Yuecha.

Yuecha looked at Jinlan over there and didn't notice him.

"Second brother, don't prepare yet." Chu Yitong saw Chu Erbing's appearance. He reminded him, "Dad is on the road, you have to take good care of it, don't just play by yourself like before." ”

"Oh......" Chu Erbing was not interested, glanced at Yuecha again, and walked towards the room in a hurry.

"Daddy." Zhu Yuenuan walked a few steps and shouted to Chu Chongzhu, "It's too hasty to leave at this time, right?" Let's wait for tomorrow, we have to arrange the food on this road, and I'll hire you a carriage later. It's not close to Yuyang Mansion here. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to prepare some dry food on the road or something." Li Yuniang nodded again and again.

"I also knew a few friends with my brother-in-law in Yuyang Mansion before. I'll write a letter later, and you and your brother-in-law will take it with you, and we will have a place to stay when we get there. Zhu Yuenuan persuaded again.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chu Chong Hammer stopped, thought about it sideways, waved his big hand, and agreed.

"Jinlan, make more dry food today." Li Yuniang glanced at Zhu Yuenuan and didn't say much. commanded Jinlan and went back to the room by himself. "I'm going to pack my bags."

And they dispersed, and began to prepare.

Zhu Yuenuan entered the study. Let Jin Qing hire a car, and go back to Zhu's house to borrow two guards by the way to ensure the safety of Chu Chongzhu and Chu Erbing.

"Little uncle, this is a letter to the prefect, this is for the blacksmith Liu Ji in the south of the city, this is for the shopkeeper Xu of the Datong Inn, and this is for the post station Wen Yiguan." Zhu Yuenuan wrote four letters and knocked on Chu Erbing's door.

"Know...... Lord Prefect? Chu Erbing was taken aback.

"That's my cousin, and he is also the eldest son of Mr. Xu of Zhiyu Academy." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, "As long as you are safe on the road, when you get to Yuyang Mansion, he will take care of you, this Liu blacksmith, my brother-in-law used to order things from him in the past, and he was also open-minded...... Give it to Wen Yiguan himself, and he will know how to do it. ”

"Sister-in-law, do you think that there will be ...... on the road" Chu Erbing took the letter, but his mind was not on the few people she said, but on her sentence "As long as you are safe on the road", she opened her mouth suspiciously.

"Be careful." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head and said vaguely, "When you go out, you have to be more careful, I have already asked Jinqing to borrow someone from the Jinbu Workshop, and if someone escorts her, my mother-in-law can rest assured." ”

"Okay." Chu Erbing looked at Zhu Yuenuan, slowly put away the letter, his doubts gradually turned into a reality, and nodded, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take care of my father." ”

Zhu Yuenuan nodded, didn't say much, and when she turned around, she saw that Jin Lan had retracted her head from the kitchen door.

After a slight pause, Zhu Yuenuan turned around and went back to the study.

――

On the day when Chu Chongzhu and Chu Erbing went out, early in the morning, Zhu Guangsheng personally took three guards to set up a carriage to see them off, the car belonged to the Zhu family, and the best guards in the dyeing brocade cloth workshop were selected.

Seeing him, Zhu Yuenuan was surprised for a moment, but didn't say anything.

"In-laws, this is a letter to the prefect, please bring it to your in-laws." Zhu Guangsheng handed over a letter to Chu Chongzhu.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuenuan's eyes moved slightly and looked at Chu Erbing.

Chu Erbing smiled and patted his chest.

Li Yuniang glanced at the two of them and frowned secretly.

"A letter from the prefect?" Chu Chongzhu didn't know it, and took it in surprise, "I just don't know if we can see the prefect, but I will help my in-laws deliver the letter." ”

"Hehe, I'll see you." Zhu Guangsheng smiled, "Ming Toad also went out of Langui Town, and he will never ignore his fellow villagers and his relatives. ”

"Toad?" Chu Chong was puzzled.

"Dad, that's the name of the prefect, the prefect is the cousin of his father-in-law, and the eldest son of Mr. Xu, the native of Langui Town." Chu Yitong explained on the side, "However, the prefect has a lot of opportunities, if it is not necessary, it is better for my father and second brother to live in the inn, so as not to gossip about others, after all, the prefect is in the officialdom, and this time he is calling craftsmen for the emperor's order, and it is better for my father to do official business." ”

"My sister-in-law has already given me a letter from the shopkeeper of the Datong Inn, and we can live there." Chu Erbing immediately patted his chest, not forgetting to give Zhu Yuenuan credit.

"It turns out ......" Li Yuniang looked back at Zhu Yuenuan in surprise, and then looked away.

"It's not early, thank you for your help, it's superfluous, I can't say it well, I won't say it, when I come back, please drink." Chu Chongzhu looked up at the sun that had completely risen, and smiled at Zhu Guangsheng's bold hand.

"Okay, I'll pick you up when you come back." Zhu Guangsheng now has no intention of rejecting the Chu family, and nodded briskly, "Take care on the road." ”

"Remember to write back when you arrive." Li Yuniang told in the back.

"Mother, don't worry, my sister-in-law has arranged everything." Chu Erbing once again slapped his chest at Li Yuniang.

The two got into the car, one person from the three nursing homes drove the car, and the two rode to protect each other, slowly driving towards the end of the street.

Some familiar people saw it and asked: "Yitong mother, why are you in charge of the house?" ”

"The prefect summoned him to Yuyang Mansion to do things for the emperor." Li Yuniang replied quite interestingly, with a little smugness in her calm tone.

"Yu Zhi, when will you leave?" Zhu Guangsheng turned to Chu Yitong, snorted, and asked.

"Two days to go." Chu Yitong smiled.

"Well, tomorrow, go home for dinner with Yuenuan." Zhu Guangsheng nodded and walked home slowly with his hands behind his back.

――

"Mother, when Yu Zhi goes on a study tour, you can call Jinlan Jinqing back." After dinner, Chu Yitong was called to the study by Zhu Guangsheng, Zhu Yuenuan and Yang Muping were walking in the small courtyard to eat, Zhu Yuenuan took the initiative to mention.

"Why?" Yang Muping was surprised, "Originally, I wanted to give you Jinlan Jinqing as a dowry ring, but you don't want it, but now, are they not doing well in the Chu family?" ”

"They are all very good, but there are only me and my mother-in-law at home, and there are not many things, so I don't need Yahuan, I can take care of her in Yuecha." Zhu Yuenuan responded casually.

"Is that what they did badly?" Yang Muping asked again.

"Nope." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head.

"And why?" Yang Muping asked.

Zhu Yuenuan was silent.

"Nuan." Yang Muping stopped, held Zhu Yuenuan's shoulders with both hands, and spoke seriously, "Mother knows that you are a capable child, and Mother also knows that you can take good care of your mother-in-law and Yuecha, but that is Mother's mind, Mother hopes that my Nuan Nan can live a safe and stable life every day, not ......" said, sighed and lowered her head, her hand slid down, held Zhu Yuenuan's hand, and rubbed her fingers in her palm one by one: "Look at these hands, it's only been a long time, that's it......"

"Those were just accidents." Zhu Yuenuan withdrew her hand, "If my mother wants me to live a stable life, she will call Jinlan Jinqing back, find a little steward in the shop, or let them leave freely, they are not small, although they are Yahuan, they are also women, and it is serious to find a good family for them." ”

"But, Nuannan." Yang Muping frowned slightly when she heard this, looked at Zhu Yuenuan and said, "Yu knows that if you are on the gold list, you will get ahead, in the future, you can't still live in such a small yard, and it is impossible for the family to not welcome the family and Yahuan who were sent to it, if you don't have a heart-to-heart help by your side, in the future, you ......."

"Mother, you're thinking too much." Zhu Yuenuan chuckled, "I have counted those things, whether it is a family member or a maid, but now, in an eventful autumn, I don't want any uneasy hidden dangers to exist." ”

“…… The hidden danger of restlessness ......" Yang Muping was slightly stunned, repeated, and nodded clearly, "I understand, after a few days, my sons-in-law will go out, and I will let them come back." ”

"Thank you, mother." Zhu Yuenuan smiled lightly, blessed.

"You kid, how can you be polite to your mother." Yang Muping nodded Zhu Yuenuan's head in disgust, thought about it, and asked again, "You really don't need to find another girl?" (To be continued)
