Chapter 265 Are You Too Trusting?
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren glanced at each other, they were still talking in private, thinking that the Qian family would come yesterday, but they didn't come, and then they thought that the Qian family would investigate the Zhou family, and it would take a while, so I will come to the door today up.
The visit today must have been cleared up. It seems that this manager Qian has his own ability to inquire about the news, and he inquired clearly in just one day!
The stewards of the merchant's family have a lot of different people, which is more complicated than the stewards of the government's family!
Boss Zhou came back from the front yard to report the letter, and Second Zhou was welcoming people in.
The Zhou family's house is not big, and there are only a few steps from the front yard to the back yard. After Boss Zhou's voice fell, Zhulan heard the conversation, and it was in the back yard.
Boss Zhou hurriedly turned around to open the curtains. It was still cold in March, and the curtains of Zhou's house had been hung all the time.
The curtain opened and Zhou Laoer walked in front of Steward Qian, who looked over fifty years old. The woman beside Steward Qian had white hair on her head. She was about the same age as Zhulan, but much older than Zhulan. Fang's gone.
At the end there were two people carrying presents. The one in his thirties should be Steward Qian's eldest son, and the other boy around ten years old should be his grandson.
Zhulan thought to herself, the boy she brought should be a student, otherwise she should bring her eldest grandson.
Zhou Shuren got up and said, "Mr. Qian, please sit down."
It's not surprising that Mr. Qian didn't hear the names of his in-laws. He found out that the Zhou family is a farming and studying family. Two of the Zhou family's sons are educated and have passed the county examination. That said, including the grandson, there are quite a few scholars in the same school. If Zhou Xiucai wins the exam, the Zhou family will be a scholarly family.
A scholar has the arrogance of a scholar, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, although he has never been a merchant, he was a slave, and he was still a slave to a merchant's family. Even if he became a farmer, he was still looked down upon by others. Zhou Xiucai was polite to him, at least he did not show contempt on his face .
What's more, the Zhou family and the official family have in-laws, and Zhou Xiucai has contacts with the Zhao family. He should be arrogant. After he was able to investigate the Qian family, he asked his son to take the Zhao family to recognize his relatives. It's a kind family, kindness is good, and it's easy to calculate.
Just looking at Zhou Xiucai sitting on the main seat, he is in his fifties, and along with merchants, he has seen everyone, from officials to thugs, and he knows at a glance that the Zhou family is not easy to fool. Kindness means kindness is not easy to calculate.
Looking at the cheap son-in-law who always had a silly face when he was in the Qian family, now he is polite and polite, and the expression on his face has not changed.
Come on, I know it all in my heart, what kind of silly son-in-law, he just said what he asked on purpose, how can he scare the Qian family if he doesn't say it.
The purpose of coming here seems to be dead!
I have been calculating all day long, and this one is in vain. Also, if I am honest and honest and have no skills, how can I have contacts with the Zhao family and send my future son-in-law and grandson to the academy!
Zhulan greeted Mrs. Fang and entered the inner room. Compared with the quietness of the hall, she was much more affectionate to Mrs. Fang, and sat down with her hand on Mrs. Fang's, "Mother-in-law, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I never had the chance. We finally met."
Seeing that her daughter's mother-in-law's eyes were sincere and she didn't need it, Fang's heart relaxed. The daughter didn't lie, and her mother-in-law was really good to her. I personally came to the door to thank my mother-in-law for her love for the Zhao family, thanks to my mother-in-law all these years."
As soon as the words fell, Fang was about to salute, Zhulan hurriedly pulled her back, and sat down on Fang's side, "Ms. Zhao is my Zhou family when she enters my Zhou family. I should protect her. My mother-in-law does not need to thank you."
Fang is really grateful. At the beginning, she saw her daughter was disfigured. She was happy that her daughter protected her, but she was also sad that any woman does not love beauty. Fortunately, she told her in private that it was a painting, and she knew from her mouth that her daughter Her in-laws are all good people, especially her daughter's mother-in-law, she is very grateful for everything she does.
The girl's life is better than hers, she is more blessed than hers, she is happy, but she still wants to come to see her in person, so that she can feel at ease.
Zhulan sat beside Fang, picked up the teapot on the kang table, "Not long after the tea was brewed, my mother-in-law came along and was thirsty, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up."
Fang took the teacup with both hands, and felt more at ease. Her mother-in-law didn't dislike her for selling her body and remarried, and her voice was full of gratitude: "Thank you."
Zhulan knew in her heart that this thank you was too tolerant, thank her too much, thank her for taking care of Mrs. Zhao, and thank her for admitting that she poured the tea herself.
She has already guessed why Fang didn't come yesterday. The Qian family inquired about it because there were also clothes that Fang didn't leave home. The clothes were not freshly made, but they were bought at a tailor shop in the city.
Looking at Fang's jewelry again, it is low-key but valuable, Zhulan thought, the Qian family is really rich, if you don't withdraw cash, even if you sell the jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, it will be a large amount of money, the Yun family has really enriched their money The steward is a big mouse, well, it seems that the housekeepers of big families have money.
Fang looked a little uncomfortable, "Mother-in-law, what do you think is wrong with me?"
No, she knows what she can bring and wear, and she can't go wrong.
Zhu Lan smiled, "I'm just looking at it, Mrs. Zhao doesn't have much resemblance to her own mother."
The corners of Fang's mouth were twitchy, "She is more like her father, this girl is too good at growing, she only picks good ones."
She was good looking, and her husband was also a well-known handsome young man in ten miles and eight villages, and her daughter had chosen a good height, which made her look like a self-harming girl. Fortunately, my daughter is blessed.
Seeing that Mrs. Fang hadn't walked out of the past, Zhulan felt emotional. Women are especially willing to remember, whether it is painful or sweet, they will never forget. Mrs. Zhao happened to enter the house.
Mrs. Zhao came so slowly because she wanted to paint the wound. When Mrs. Zhao came in and saw Mother, she said excitedly, "Mother."
Fang's eyes were red, she really didn't expect that she would have a chance to see her daughter, her eyes fell on the child in Zhao's arms, "This is Mingrui?"
Mrs. Zhao handed the son to his mother, "It's three years old, look how strong it is."
The son's birthday is late, and he is at a disadvantage in his age.
Zhulan didn't see Yushuang, it's because the Zhao family didn't plan to let people see Yushuang, at least Zhou Shuren didn't plan to let people see him before he won the exam, and the Qian family would only inquire about the men of the Zhou family, women wouldn't. Paying more attention is a common problem of ancient men, subconsciously ignoring women.
Mrs. Zhao introduced Mingrui as the eldest son and there is nothing wrong with it. He is indeed the eldest son of the second family.
Fang hugged the child tightly, "Okay, okay."
When Fang saw the child, she remembered it. She brought a gift for the child, and took out a gold lock and a pair of gold bracelets from her purse, "You said you didn't mention Yushuang, so I brought a set. The gold lock is for Ming. Rui, give the bracelet to Yushuang."
She is no longer the wife of the Qian family who used to be famous. After the daughter recognized her relatives, the old man said why he didn't help her and the child, and he didn't lie to her. It was because she was worthless. To be honest, she knows that the old man will really treat her well in the future, and he also gave her a silver ticket to spend, thinking of this.
Fang hurriedly took out two silver bills from her purse, "This is the dowry my mother gave you."
Mrs. Zhao was a little silly, two silver bills of one hundred taels, "Mother, where did you get the money?"
Fang stuffed it to her daughter, "Don't worry, Qian Shengbao gave it to me, and let me use it myself. Give me three hundred taels in one go. This is to support me secretly giving it to you. Take it quickly, this money is very important to the Qian family." It's really nothing, the Qian family doesn't seem to have much wealth on the surface, but they have a lot of money."
Fang paused and continued: "Although mother doesn't know the exact number, she has been married to your uncle for several years, and she knows what is on her face. It is not an antique calligraphy and painting on the face, and the money is ten thousand taels. Your uncle will I must have hidden a lot of things, which is why the sons and daughters-in-law of the Qian family have teased me and your brother, because they are afraid that your brother will be the old son and share most of the family property."
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
Did Fang's trust her too much to say it in front of her!
