Chapter 327: She's Not Old
Zhulan got Wu Chun's letter, the letter was written to Zhulan, the ancient communication was inconvenient, this letter was a peace letter written by Wu Chun after he arrived in Lizhou.
As for the letter written by Yang Zhumu, it is estimated that when he arrives in Lizhou, Wu Chun's reply should still be on the way.
Zhulan and the eldest brother opened the letter together, this time with the letter there is also a fur, the gift list in the letter is ignored, and the text is directly read.
When Wu Chun arrived in Lizhou, he was still under Zheng Hong, Zheng Hong was in charge of the garrison of Lizhou, and he was in charge of the soldiers stationed in Lizhou, and Wu Chun was the real military general who assisted.
Wu Chun bought a large courtyard in Lizhou City for only two hundred taels, and the courtyard occupied a large area, and specially said that although Lizhou is a state city, the conditions are very poor, and the most merchants in the city are some fur merchants.
Although the war ended, people who fled from Lizhou City came back one after another, the whole state city was still very depressed, the people were particularly poor, and there were many people who sold their sons and daughters.
Yang Zhumu was stunned, "Why did this kid write so much about the lives of the people in Lizhou City?" Good guys have three or four pages. ”
Zhulan handed a few pages of letters written about Lizhou City to Zhou Shuren, "Wu Chun writes a book." ”
Zhou Shuren took it preciously, this was written by him to Wu Chun, he asked Wu Chun to write back to tell him that this kid wrote in real detail, it seems that he went to the nearby villages to visit, Wu Chun's tone was very sad, especially when he wrote that there was no food to cook, and some people even ate soil.
Zhou Shuren's heart sank, although the environment in the Northeast is also difficult in winter, but the land in the Northeast is fertile, and the wind and rain have been smooth in recent years, as long as they don't sell more food in order to save money, every household can eat eight points full, and in recent years, people with more land in the Northeast have already had extra money to dress themselves.
This is also the reason why businessmen have been running the Northeast more often than before in recent years.
Even the merchants of Lizhou City were reluctant to go, which shows how poor the local people are.
Zhulan also read the letter at the back, and wrote that it was all about Wu Chun's family, and finally invited Zhulan and Zhou Shuren to have the opportunity to go to Lizhou City to sit as guests.
Yang Zhumu's heart was stuffed for a while, and he was not mentioned in the whole article!
Zhulan noticed the eldest brother's mood and said with a smile: "He didn't know that you were here with me." ”
"I wrote to him."
Zhulan was speechless, "Big brother, calculate for yourself how long it will take you to go back and forth after receiving Wu Chun's letter and then replying to Lizhou City?" When Wu Chun wrote to me, your letter hadn't reached him yet! How does he know that you are also in the capital, and the reply to you in a few days should arrive. ”
Yang Zhumu calculated, "Really, this kid's reply to me should be on the way to Beijing." ”
Zhulan received the letter, "I'm going to see the gift that my eldest nephew brought me." ”
This is the New Year's gift, although this New Year's gift is a little late, this is in February, and I see that I will try it in a few days.
Zhou Shuren took the letter, "I'll go back to read first." ”
Zhulan, "Okay." ”
The gifts that Zhulan and her eldest brother went to see together, three boxes of things, two boxes of furs, and one box of jujubes, these jujubes are good things.
Zhulan divided some and kept it for her mother to eat when she arrived in the capital.
As soon as Zhulan packed up her fur, Li came back with apricot blossoms and a basket of vegetables, rubbed her hands and said, "Mother, it's really cold this weather!" ”
Zhulan is worried, there are also three trials, the ninth day, the twelfth day, and the fifteenth day, all of which enter the field one day and appear the next day.
The examination room for each person is still very small, five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high.
Zhulan asked, "What kind of meat did you buy today, look at your happiness." ”
Li grinned, "Mother, today's mutton is fresh, I bought a few catties of mutton and stewed mutton at night." ”
Zhu Lan sighed, "Let's buy more meat tomorrow and come back, and make more sausages for your father to bring." ”
"Hey!"
The time soon came to the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Zhulan checked the things Zhou Shuren brought, this time not only Zhulan checked it a few times, but even Zhou Shuren checked it twice.
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren nervous, but she was much more relaxed, "It's really hard to see that you have ever been so nervous about something." ”
Zhou Shuren smiled, "I've taken ninety-nine steps ahead, and I'm just the last step, can I not be nervous?" ”
Zhulan held Zhou Shuren's hand, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's already come this far, just let it be." ”
These days, Zhou Shuren dreams when she sleeps at night, she can hear Zhou Shuren talking in her dreams, and she is reciting books in her dreams!
Zhou Shuren, "Yes." ”
As soon as Zhulan heard it, she should have said it well, she must not have thought so in her heart, Zhou Shuren always said that she was willing to take responsibility for herself, why wasn't he?
It's just that Zhou Shuren's heart is small, and she is the only one who takes her.
The capital in February is really lively, especially on the eighth day of the new year, the streets are full of carriages, and the more southwest the carriages are jammed.
Zhulan's family came late, and the carriage was blocked behind, and they had to walk over on foot on a cold day.
The situation on the street is similar, not only Zhulan's family walks, Zhulan is willing to spend money, especially on Zhou Shuren's body, Zhou Shuren is wrapped in a thick cloak and will not be cold.
There is also a need to queue up to enter the examination room, and the process is the same as that of the township test.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to go in, and stood on the street for a while without any intention of leaving.
Li Shi didn't look fat but was not the most frost-resistant, Li rubbed his hands, "Mother, let's go home!" ”
Zhulan came back to her senses and took one last look at the examination room, Zhou Shuren fought for her, hooked the corners of her mouth, "Go home." ”
When she got home, Zhulan went back to the house and drew the scene of Zhou Shuren entering the examination room.
Li stood aside: "Mother, you painted so well." ”
Zhulan tilted her head, "Why did you follow up?" ”
Li's little eyes were aggrieved, "Mother, I've been following you." ”
Zhulan knew that the Li family was here to accompany her, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch it when she looked at the Li family's bun-like face, "It feels really good." ”
Li's eyes widened, but he was overjoyed in his heart, his mother pinched her, and her mother was the rarest of her, Li thought of what the master said, and his face was red.
Zhulan watched Li run out in a daze, she just pinched Li's face, why was Li so shy?
Xue Han came in with her niece, "Mother, why did my sister-in-law run out?" ”
Zhulan, "Who knows what she thinks again." ”
Xue Han saw that her mother's expression was calm and she didn't look worried at all, so she was stunned, "Mother, aren't you worried about your father?" ”
In the past, every time I took the exam, my mother was very worried.
Zhulan waited for the ink to dry, put the painting away and said, "I believe in your father." ”
Xue Han was silent, she really envied the relationship between her father and mother, and she also hoped that she could be the same as Rong Chuan in the future, thinking about it, Xue Han's face turned into a red cloth, "Mother, I'm going back to the house." ”
Zhulan blinked, what's wrong with this one, one or two are shy? Is she already out of breath? Is she really old?
Zhulan shuddered and was terrible to think about, no, her real age was not yet thirty, and the ancient one was not forty, she was not old, not old!
