Yang Zhumu mentioned that the smile on his daughter-in-law's face was more, "Your sister-in-law is good, she can't stay idle at home, she pulls me to the orchard every day, her body is better than mine, and she also urges Wu Chun to have a few more children, and there are too few grandchildren who dislike our big house, and they can't compare to your second brother's family." ”

Zhulan felt uncomfortable when she heard this, the eldest brother and the second brother were both three sons and a daughter, Wu Dong died, and the eldest brother only had two sons left, so naturally he couldn't compare to the second brother's family, "There are too many children and a lot of worries, and when you grow up, you will marry a wife and a daughter, there are too many things." ”

Yang Zhumu has been watching his sister talk, his sister lowered her eyebrows just now, he saw it in his eyes, the youngest son is a hurdle in his heart that he can't pass, but he can't let his sister also feel uncomfortable, and changed his words with a smile: "Over the years, your family's family has saved up quickly, and every year I receive the New Year's gift from you, my second brother and I will talk about how much silver it will cost." ”

Yang Zhulin continued: "Second brother wants to talk about you, you have to save the money, your brother-in-law's official position is high, and the dowry of your grandchildren will not be less, we are all our own family, don't give such an expensive New Year's gift in the future." ”

In the past few years, the New Year's gift, even if there are more fish and shrimp, the sister does not spend much money to eat this, because there is a fishing ground, but in the past two years, most of them are ginseng and precious tonics, and their brothers are happy that the sister cares about them, and they worry about the sister.

Zhulan smiled, "Hey, you guys are really worried, I've always been in charge, I know in my heart, expensive tonics, we collect too much, big brother and second brother, you can rest assured." ”

This is the truth, in the past two years, the tonic has not been stopped during the New Year's holidays, and she only gives some to the eldest brother and the second brother during the New Year's gift, she knows that the eldest brother and the second brother are not willing to spend this money, she hopes that the eldest brother and the second brother will live a long life, at least longer than her.

Hubu, Zhou Shuren didn't know that the eldest brother had arrived, but looked at the invitation post, which was sent to the Hubu.

Except for Li Zhao, no one really blatantly sent posts to the household, and Li Zhao was particularly frank.

Zhou Shuren shook the invitation post, the invitation post for Li Zhao's birthday ceremony, the secretary of the military department, this birthday is not good, he doesn't want to go, especially Li Zhao ordered him!

Why did he have a good relationship with Li Zhao? What does it mean that he can't be compared to Li Zhao's birthday for the first time, how can he be hot, well, he is indeed very popular at the moment.

Zhou Shuren has always been a pit person, from Lizhou all the way to the capital, only he pits people, Li Zhao is clearly asking for gifts, and it must be expensive!

Qiu Yan was envious in his heart, he had never received a post from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and he had never entered the eyes of Lord Li.

Zhou Shuren felt Qiu Yan's envious eyes, "......."

If Master Li hadn't sent it to the household, he would have found a way to be unreceiving, it felt really bad to cut meat, he only liked to cut other people's meat, Li Zhao specially tricked him!

When he went down to the yamen, Zhou Shuren left with a straight face, and when he returned home, his face was not good, and Steward Ding originally wanted to mention that the two uncles were coming, but he didn't dare to mention it.

Zhou Shuren returned to the courtyard with a calm face, and when he saw that the faces of the eldest brother and the second uncle immediately changed, he said with a smile: "Big brother, why don't you send the letter in advance when the second brother arrives, I will ask for leave to pick you up at home." ”

Yang Zhumu and Yang Zhulin glanced at each other, the brother-in-law had a calm face just now, they saw it very clearly, Yang Zhumu is eldest brother, and said: "We know that you are busy in the household department, so you didn't send the letter in advance, you didn't have a bad face just now, what happened?" ”

Zhou Shuren saw that the two uncles were worried, and explained with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with the household, now that Lord Shangshu has given me a lot of power, I am very good in the household, and I don't want to give gifts with a calm face." ”

Zhulan saw the post in Zhou Shuren's hand, took it and glanced at it, patted her husband's hand, Zhou Shuren had not won a few times against Lord Li.

Brother Yang Zhumu didn't understand, and he was full of puzzlement.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to show in front of his uncle that he liked to pit people and didn't like to be pitted, so he changed his words, "It's not a big deal, I'll go change my official uniform first." ”

Yang Zhulin looked at his brother-in-law's official uniform enviously, "Shuren is really stylish in an official uniform." ”

Zhulan smiled, "The words of the second brother are Shuren's favorite to hear." ”

Tonight's meal is particularly hearty, the Yang family eats a lot of mutton in Lizhou, so they changed the taste, there is venison today, and there are some things that are difficult to eat in Lizhou.

Zhou Shuren was changing clothes, and the meal had already come up.

Zhou Shuren came out, "Chang Lian hasn't come back yet?" ”

Zhulan looked at the hour, "According to the hours of the past, now that I have arrived home, if I don't come back to eat, I will send someone back, there should be something delayed." ”

Zhou Shuren frowned, and called for a cautious word, "You go to welcome Changlian." ”

"Yes." ”

What Yang Zhumu wants to see most is Chang Lian, Chang Lian is the most promising of his brother-in-law's sons, Wu Chun said that Chang Lian will be terrible in the future, and he has been thinking about it, "Chang Lian is also very busy." ”

Zhou Shuren, "Big brother doesn't have to worry about him, let's eat first." ”

Brother Yang Zhumu shook his head, "We're not hungry, we won't be in a hurry after a while." ”

Zhou Shuren is not hungry, the welfare of the household department has always been the best, and he ate a lot of fruit in the afternoon, "Then wait a while." ”

Yang Zhumu is very concerned about Chang Lian, "Next year is the three-year assessment, whether Chang Lian is going to send officials." ”

Zhou Shuren was happy, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and my eldest brother has understood a lot." ”

Yang Zhumu was a little embarrassed, "I listened to Wu Chun, Chang Lian has a good relationship with Wu Chun, and they have been corresponding, I know more, do you have any plans to be a father?" ”

Zhou Shuren didn't hide it from his eldest brother, "I plan to send Chang Lian abroad, I just came all the way, I am here in the capital, Chang Lian is not afraid that he can't return to Beijing, the expatriate can hone people, and if you want to be a good official, you have to go to the grassroots level to observe the people's livelihood." ”

He hopes that Chang Lian will be a good official, he does not expect Chang Lian to be praised by future generations, his most basic requirement is to be a good official for the sake of the people.

Yang Zhumu was a little surprised, "I thought you would let him be an official in the capital." ”

Zhou Shuren didn't explain to his uncle more, the complicated situation in the capital is the first, and the second is that there are not many official positions in the capital, and even fewer are suitable for Changlian, plus his expectations for Changlian, release is the best arrangement.

Yang Zhumu said with some regret: "I had the intention to join the army back then, if I had gone to the battlefield, maybe I could have arranged a future for my son like you." ”

It's really the first time Zhulan has heard her eldest brother mention it, "Big brother, have you ever had this thought?" ”

Yang Zhulin said: "My eldest brother and I both learn martial arts, naturally there is blood, but there are too many concerns, and my father only has three of us, and my eldest brother and I have told me about my ideas, but in the end I didn't dare to mention it to my father." ”

Zhulan thought to herself that it was fortunate that she didn't mention it, otherwise, it would really be hard to say, the eldest brother was still not there, the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and how many souls could not return home.

Several people chatted for a while, and time passed little by little, this time not only the Yang Zhumu brothers were worried about Chang Lian, but Zhu Lan and Zhou Shuren couldn't help frowning, why didn't Chang Lian come back yet, and he didn't send back the news.
