Boss Zhou was relieved to see that his mother was fine, and he saw that his mother kept looking at the port as if he was looking for someone, "Mother, are you looking for the second brother?" ”

Zhulan blinked, "I seem to have seen Wang Ru just now." ”

Boss Zhou was very impressed by Wang Ru, well, he just couldn't forget it, and a lot of the things he used to eat now were related to Wang Ru, "Mother, wasn't she kidnapped?" ”

He always thought that Wang Ru was dead, he was not stupid, Wang Ru had too many secrets, and people with too many secrets generally died quickly.

Zhulan naturally remembered, "When I saw her just now, it seemed to be disfigured." ”

There was a long scar on her face, if it weren't for Zhulan paying too much attention to Wang Ru, she would almost not recognize it, but she didn't know where this scar came from.

Boss Zhou looked at the distance between the deck and the port market, "Mother, are you mistaken?" ”

Don't you all say that your eyes are spent when you get older? Mother must have read it wrong.

Zhulan withdrew her gaze, "Maybe." ”

Boss Zhou thinks that his mother is wrong, he doesn't believe that he will meet him so coincidentally, and his mother hasn't seen Wang Ru for a long time, how could his mother recognize Wang Ru?

Zhulan's intuition told her that it was Wang Ru, she didn't know what Wang Ru had experienced, and she didn't know how Wang Ru ran, but from what she saw, she knew that Wang Ru was really smart, Wang Ru was followed by a boy, who was four or five years older than Wang Ru, and the two of them were carrying bamboo baskets and choosing homespun cloth with laughter and laughter, and she could see that the boys' bamboo baskets were full of heavy items, and Wang Ru's bamboo baskets were full of fabrics.

Wang Ru's smile was something she had never seen before, and the smile on her face was undisguised from the heart.

Zhulan thought to herself, if she really didn't recognize the wrong person, this would be good, as long as Wang Ru was willing to live a dull life and could live smartly in the future, the Zhou family and Wang Ru would no longer be involved.

The time for the ship to dock was over, and Zhou Lao Er bought a lot of fruits and came up, "Mother, I tasted the bananas very sweet, I bought some and came back, you can taste them." ”

Zhulan saw that the bananas were ripe, and these ripe bananas were all processed by the fruit merchants on the ship, and Zhulan broke one, "You also eat it." ”

Two days later, Zhulan disembarked, and she sat on the boat for seven days before finally stepping on the ground.

Zhulan bought a lot of things, four carriages when she came, and hired two more carriages on the way back.

The farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes, Zhulan puts on a cotton jacket cloak again, and brings back a lot of pears and other fruits that are frozen.

The greens were damaged a lot because of the cold, so they had to hurry back to the city.

Zhulan continued to hurry here, and in the palace of the capital, the emperor drank the decoction and listened to the news that the prince had reported back from various places, and he had to read it at the end of every year, and there was information from officials of all states.

The first time the prince came into contact, the prince suppressed the heat in his heart, this is already a secret that only the emperor knows, these aggregated information has all the news of officials in various places violating laws and disciplines, he doesn't dare to guess or think why his father let him get in touch.

But he can't control his heart, isn't his father afraid that after he knows the weaknesses of officials in various places, he will go behind his father's back to win over the ministers?

The emperor drank the decoction slowly, seemingly carelessly, but the emperor has been paying attention to the prince, the emperor hid the deep meaning under his eyes, and when he thought of Zhou Shuren in Lizhou City, the water that the emperor rinsed his mouth almost didn't swallow.

The prince looked at it carefully, and he was indeed not wrong.

The emperor stretched out his hand, "Bring it to me and see." ”

The crown prince handed it to his father, and the prince thought to himself that he had really obeyed Lord Zhou.

The emperor read it at a glance and ten lines, "How do I think, our Lord Zhou is too condescending to be in Lizhou, and a few words have cost 20,000 taels of silver, talent!" ”

The prince also thinks that talents, he, the prince, is short of money, don't look at the good clothes, they are all prepared in the palace, the furnishings at home are indeed antiques, but unfortunately they are all rewards and can't be sold, he can't use the princess's dowry, he can't afford to lose this person, and finally has a little income, barely enough to spend!

The money in his current hand is still in Yao Zheyu's hands, his father is not soft on Yao Zheyu, he coughs and coughs and coughs, so he doesn't have to be polite, Yao's family is like a mountain of gold, if he doesn't cut it off, his hands are too itchy, but Yao Zheyu and Lord Zhou compared, Yao Zheyu is not enough to see, he thinks that Lord Zhou is more good at pit silver!

The emperor saw that the jade he rewarded was carved into jewelry by Zhou Shuren, and he muttered a sentence in his heart, and felt that such a person was very good.

Zhoujia Village, Zhulan's New Year's gift to her hometown has also arrived, Ma February did not go back to the Li family's house to see her father and mother first, and went directly to the old house to see the eldest lady.

After reading the explanation on her mother's letter, Xuemei hurriedly asked, "How is everything okay with my father?" ”

February said respectfully: "The old man and the housewife are all good." ”

Xuemei Xinma didn't lie to her in February, and she didn't look at the clothes and jewelry her mother gave her, and she saw that the hour was not early, "Do you want to stay and rest, or go back to the house in Lijia Village?" ”

Ma February: "The villain went back to the house in Lijia Village to see his father and mother, and he will come over early tomorrow morning." ”

Xuemei said: "Then I won't keep you." ”

"Yes."

Xuemei waited for Ma February's departure, and let her daughter look at her two younger brothers, the New Year's gifts prepared by her mother, each family was packed separately, and her family's Ma February's moved to the house.

Xuemei touched the silver in the box, she had planned to look at the land and build a house after the year, and her mother sent the silver money, and she also thought that if it was not enough to sell one or two pieces of jewelry.

Xuemei misses her mother even more, although her mother is not in her hometown, she always thinks about them, saying that it is the New Year's money given, but it is actually the subsidized money.

Xuemei took out the apples, there was some frostbite, Xuemei was going to eat it at night, and the frostbitten ones could also be eaten, so she took out the good apples and put them in the house to warm up, and then gave them to the children when they were not cool.

After Xuemei packed up her things, Jiang Sheng came back with her son.

Jiang Sheng saw the carriage in the courtyard, "A New Year's gift from my mother?" ”

Xuemei smiled and nodded, "Yes, I was escorted back in February, I have already cleaned up our family, and the rest are the patriarch's family, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law's mother's family, the third brother and sister's mother's family, and yours' family." ”

Jiang Sheng was stunned, and soon came back to his senses, holding his wife's hand, his mother-in-law always thinks about his wife, and this year's New Year's gift of the Jiang family is also for the sake of his wife's face.

After the father-in-law became an official, the meaning of the New Year's gift was even more different, the Jiang family received the New Year's gift, not only recognized the Jiang family's in-laws, but also gave the Jiang family a certain amount of protection.

As for whether the Jiang family will use his father-in-law's reputation to do bad things, after Jiang Sheng heard what his mother said about the New Year's gift to the Jiang family, he knew that he didn't have to worry about it, and his mother-in-law had all taken it into account.

Jiang Sheng felt that his father and mother loved him the most, and he married Xuemei for him, "Thank you." ”

Xuemei smiled in her eyes, "My father is also your father, no need to say thank you." ”

Time passed quickly, Zhulan had already passed through Sichuan Prefecture and entered the territory of Lizhou, and Zhulan sent someone to return home to inform him first.
