The Zhuang family has no relatives, and the old lady Zhuang does not like to interact with people on weekdays, so the Zhuang family is cold, and no one visits the New Year.

When Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu arrived at the dealer's house, the subordinates were all happy.

Zhuang Yun was even more overjoyed: "Uncle, aunt." ”

"Happy New Year, Yun'er." Jiang Shu handed Zhuang Yun a brocade box.

The New Year's gift to the Zhuang family has been moved into the house by the subordinates, which Jiang Shu specially prepared for Zhuang Yun.

"Aunt Xie." Zhuang Yun took it with both hands and hugged it in his arms.

"Sister." Yu Zheng called Yu Lan.

Yu Lan smiled: "Sit down, mother should be coming soon." ”

After a few people sat down, Mrs. Zhuang came.

"The old man has seen the prince, the princess." Yu Zheng comes every year, and Mrs. Zhuang is used to it, but there is more Jiang Shu this year.

"Old lady." Yu Zheng returned the gift with Jiang Shu.

Old Madam Zhuang sat down and saw Jiang Shu, who was very different from the past, and sighed in her heart.

When Yu Lan helped Jiang Shukeng count her the year before last, she was very angry. When Jiang Shu brought Jade Guanyin to beg her, she was still very angry.

Thinking about it now, fortunately I didn't have too much trouble at the time, otherwise it would not be easy to see each other now.

Whether it is the only relative or Yu Zheng's identity, Mrs. Zhuang values it very much.

You came and I exchanged a few words of greetings, and the next person hurriedly came to report.

"Old lady, Zhou ...... Lord Zhou is here. ”

"What?" Mrs. Zhuang was stunned and almost knocked over the teacup in her hand.

Yu Lan and the others were also shocked, they didn't expect Zhou Boxu to come suddenly.

"What is he here for?" Old Madam Zhuang said in a displeased tone.

Before the next person could answer, Zhou Boxu had already arrived at the door, and said in a deep voice: "The younger generation has come to meet the old lady." ”

After many years, this is the first time that Mrs. Zhuang has seen Zhou Boxu again.

The golden crown is tied with hair, the face is handsome, and the lily brocade dress is calm and graceful. is such a high-spirited handsome man, no wonder Yu Lan misses him.

But if Zhuang Heng is alive, he is not much inferior to Zhou Boxu.

In front of Yu Lan Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu, Mrs. Zhuang didn't behave too well, suppressed her anger and said in a condensed voice: "The old woman and Lord Zhou have never known each other, let alone have any contacts, so why is it an honor to have Lord Zhou come to visit." ”

Zhou Boxu entered the hall, bowed deeply, and said: "The old lady forgives me, today's juniors are indeed a little abrupt, but it is also a last resort, please forgive the old lady." ”

Mrs. Zhuang is over sixty years old, and the hardships of these years have made her much older, and she looks like a seventy-year-old woman.

But knowing the loyalty of the Zhuang family, and also understanding that it is not easy for Mrs. Zhuang, Zhou Boxu is full of respect for Mrs. Zhuang.

What a last resort!

Glancing at Old Madam Zhuang's face, Yu Lan clenched his hands, for fear that Old Man Zhuang would drive Zhou Boxu out.

Fortunately, with Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu here, Mrs. Zhuang always has to be a little scruples, and she has to pretend to be a little atmospheric.

"Lord Zhou, please be seated."

"Old Madam Xie." Zhou Boxu thanked him and sat next to Zhuang Yun.

Knowing why Zhou Boxu came, but Mrs. Zhuang didn't pick it out, and directly refused: "Although Lord Zhou and the princess are old friends, but now they have different identities, they still have to avoid suspicion, if there is nothing to do in the future, don't come to the door again, so as not to misunderstand." ”

When Yu Lan heard this, his heart immediately sank.

Mrs. Zhuang disagreed.

Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu sat quietly and did not make a sound.

Zhou Boxu understands that some things have to be done by himself.

"Old lady, I came today to show the old lady, and I ask to marry the princess."

Is it that her refusal is not obvious enough? Or is it not ugly enough? He even dared to ask for marriage!

Old Madam Zhuang was furious, and the magnanimity that she pretended to maintain was broken in an instant, and her face was extremely ugly: "The princess is my daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family. ”

Zhou Boxu twisted his eyebrows and said: "Yes, but General Zhuang has been gone for many years, and the princess is a festival, and she should have been full of it, but she can find another one to marry." ”

The last layer of paper was ruthlessly torn, so that Mrs. Zhuang could no longer deceive herself, glared at Zhou Boxu and said coldly: "Lord Zhou is here to persecute the old woman today?" ”

"Don't dare, the younger generation is just showing his mind and seeking the old lady's fulfillment." Zhou Boxu bowed his head and was very respectful.

Before he came, he knew that today was difficult, and he was ready for it.

Regardless of Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu's presence, Old Madam Zhuang gritted her teeth and said, "If I don't agree!" ”

There was silence in the hall.

Yu Lan's face was sad, and there were tears in his eyes.

Zhuang Yun looked at her incomprehensibly, a little dazed.

He had never seen his grandmother so angry, nor had he ever seen his mother grieve so much.

He was still young, and he didn't know what to do.

Yu Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, groaned and spoke: "Old lady, my sister is an ordinary lady, or an ordinary woman, and she can remarry after eight years of observance." ”

He respects the loyalty of the Zhuang family, and understands that it is not easy for Mrs. Zhuang, but he will never allow anyone to bully his sister.

Zhou Boxu didn't take this step, since he had already stepped out, the dealer would have to release him.

Old Madam Zhuang was taken aback, looked at Yu Zheng in disbelief and said, "The prince is also here to persecute the old woman today?" ”

Old Madam Zhuang knew in her heart that Zhou Boxu's request to marry Yu Lan only required a marriage decree, and she didn't need to agree at all.

But she just wasn't reconciled.

At that time, he was forced to marry Yu Lan at the risk of offending the royal family, in order to leave a reliance on the banker. If Yu Lan remarries, then the hard work of the year will not be in vain.

"The old lady is worried, I have no collusion with Zhou Boxu, and I have no intention of persecuting the old lady, just tell the truth." Yu Zheng was calm.

Yu Zheng was so calm, but Mrs. Zhuang had nothing to say. If she doubts it again, she will be living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Knowing that Old Madam Zhuang was worried, Yu Zheng said again: "Yun'er is the eldest son of Sister A, and she is also my favorite nephew. As long as Sister Ah and I are together, we will protect him for one day and will not change due to any changes. ”

It's a promise.

Old Madam Zhuang was shocked when she heard this.

Yu Zheng is well-known, he is a prince, and the promise he says is golden.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhuang seemed to be a little loose, Zhou Boxu took the opportunity to say: "Old lady, the heart of the younger generation to treat the princess is known all over Beijing. As the saying goes, love the house and Wu, please rest assured that the younger generation will regard Yun'er as their own and will never treat them lightly. ”

"When Yun'er grows up in the future, the younger generation will try their best to help him revive the lintel of the banker's house, and will never let the banker's house decline. If I break this promise, I will never have children. ”

The curse is already very heavy.

Mrs. Zhou was upright all his life and devoted himself to the country, and he only had an only son under his knees. If Zhou Boxu never has an heir, then the incense of the Zhou family will be broken, and the end will be more desolate than the dealer.

Yu Lan suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zhou Boxu, anxious and angry, and more moved.

Old Madam Zhuang was shocked, she didn't expect Zhou Boxu to be able to do so much for Yu Lan.

Although she didn't know Zhou Boxu, she had heard of him.

Like Yu Zheng, Zhou Boxu is true to what he says, and he is a true gentleman.

Moreover, Zhou Boxu was the concubine of the emperor and Concubine Yu back then, and his character had been tested by the royal family.

Mrs. Zhuang understood in her heart that Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu were giving her face and giving the Zhuang family face.
