Chapter 286 Engagement
Zhulan naturally remembered, she wondered why she only saw Wang Xin and not Wang Rong on the way to the capital, "She went back to the village?"
Xuemei nodded, "Not only is she back, but she's also engaged."
Zhulan was surprised, "Wang Rong is engaged. If I remember correctly, Wang Rong is twelve years old."
Xuemei was overwhelmed, and said: "We went back to the village with Wang Rong. The man brought Wang Rong back with a matchmaker. Wang Rong's girl is also really good. The betrothed is the youngest son of the sixth grade of Baihu. When I returned to the village, I still had followers, but Wang Laosi was very proud."
Zhulan knew that Wang Rong was a rare shrewd person, and also a rare understanding person, but she didn't expect this girl to be so powerful, and the span was a bit big. Wang Laosi hadn't become a merchant, and Wang Rong was just a village girl. How could she order a military officer? Home? And she's still in the Shi family, and she can find a good marriage for herself, this girl is incredible.
Zhulan asked, "Have you seen the person who is betrothed to Wang Rong?"
Xuemei nodded, "I see. She is five years older than Wang Rong. She is a bit fat, but she looks upright."
Zhulan became curious about Wang Rong, "Have you set a date? Is Wang Rong at home?"
Xuemei said: "The date has been fixed. It is said that three years later, Wang Rong is at home. This time Wang Rong is engaged, and he is trying to test the daughter-in-law of a hundred families. No one dares to nominate her. Wang Rong is at home embroidering the dowry." !"
She met Wang Rong several times, and Wang Rong took the initiative to talk to her. She didn't dislike Wang Rong, and the little girl was quite transparent.
Jiang Sheng came in with a bundle, Zhulan and Xuemei stopped chatting, and Zhulan signaled Jiang Sheng to put down the two bundles.
These two bundles were packed by Zhulan who estimated that she would be home soon. Zhulan took the time to pack them. Zhulan opened the blue bundle, took out the jewelry box and opened it, "Your father and I went back and forth in a hurry and didn't take a good stroll in the capital. This is for The pearl hairpin you bought, and a pair of pearl earrings, this pair of pearl earrings are for Miu Miao."
Zhulan put down the jewelry and took out the material, "The material can be bought in Pingzhou, but it's different when you bring it to the capital. This is the material bought in the capital. It just happens to change the season, so I can make two clothes."
Finally, there are two boxes of dim sum, "The dim sum bought in Huaizhou City is quite famous, and I brought two boxes for you and your children."
As for the jade bracelet and the hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, Zhulan didn't give it to Xuemei in advance, what she brought out were gifts, and the jade bracelet and hairpin were prepared as dowry.
Xuemei is not polite to her mother anymore. Don't want her mother to take care of the children before, but now there is no need.
Mother specially brought it back for her, and she was delighted by her parents, "Thank you mother."
Jiang Sheng became more and more embarrassed, every time he benefited from Yue's family, what his parents loved him most in this life was marrying Xuemei for him.
Jiang Miao wanted to eat pastries, but she never stopped eating pastries when she was in Pingzhou, and it took her a long time to eat them once she got home, "Mother."
Xuemei also has some money in her hand, but she is not willing to spend it. Her son needs to study, and her husband also needs to use pens, ink and paper. These are all money, and she is pregnant again, so she naturally needs to be more careful. She touched her daughter's head and opened the Snack box, "Thank you, grandpa and grandma."
Jiang Miao took the pastry, "Thank you, grandpa and grandma, Miao Miao likes grandpa and grandma the most."
Zhulan gave Jiang Miao a rare kiss, "Grandma also cares about Miao Miao."
Jiang Sheng interjected: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are tired all the way and rest first, I'll go to the county to buy some food and drink and come back."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "No, we're going to the patriarch's house. The patriarch's house must have prepared food. You can cut some grass and come back to feed the horses."
Zhulan took away the gray burden, took out the fabric and snacks from it, then tied the burden again, and said to Xuemei: "The rest will be given to your grandparents at your grandma's house tomorrow, you go first keep it."
Xuemei took it over, "En."
Zhou Shuren took the fabric and snacks, and Zhulan stood up, "Take a rest, you don't have to wait for me and your father at night, just leave us a door."
Xuemei said: "Mother, come to the main room directly when you come back, and Jiang Sheng and I will take the child to the original little sister's room."
Zhulan, "Okay, got it."
In fact, Zhulan wanted to say that there is no need to bother, but she and Zhou Shuren are elders after all, and this is the Zhou family again. She said no, and her daughter and Jiang Sheng should be terrified.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren arrived at the patriarch's house. The eldest daughter-in-law of Zhou Wang's family was killing chickens. Seeing Zhulan, she smiled and said, "Mother said that you must come here and let me kill two hens to entertain you. I really let my mother say it right."
Zhulan looked at the two hens, "These two hens are fat enough, Shuren and I are lucky."
When Zhou Wang heard the news, he came out to greet him, "It's not uncommon for you to be blessed by your own family. Come and quickly enter the house."
Zhulan gave the cloth and snacks in her hand to Mrs. Zhou, "I came back to eat in a hurry and didn't bring any good things. The cloth was bought in the capital, and the snacks were bought in Huaizhou City. I don't have many things or a heart."
Zhou Wang thought what a good guy, the couple actually went to the capital, and said: "The fabrics in the capital are not a little bit sweet, this is the first time in my life that my aunt has touched the fabrics in the capital!"
Mrs. Zhou Wang touched the fabric very rarely. She seldom visited fabric shops in the county. She didn't even dare to think about it in the capital. This one was borrowed from Zhou Shuren and his wife. The fabric was for her and the old man at first glance. No one of her would keep this piece of fabric to make clothes for herself.
Zhulan asked, "How is Auntie recently?"
Zhou Wang looked away from the fabric, and said with a smile, "Auntie is fine, please forget about it."
Mrs. Zhou paused and asked curiously, "You live in Pingzhou City, have you ever seen Wang Ru? Wang Rong came back to make an engagement, and even came to visit me specially, but every time I asked Wang Ru, Wang Rong always Say you don’t know, you said the two are sisters, and Wang Ru took Wang Rong away on purpose, how could Wang Rong not know?”
Zhulan didn't hide anything from Wang Ru either. When she thought of Wang Ru, she thought of Zhang Sanni and Wang Xin. "Auntie, let me ask you something first. Have Wang Xin and Zhang Sanni returned to the village?"
Zhou Wang frowned, "Didn't they sign the deed of sale? How did they come back?"
Zhulan told about what she had seen and heard in the capital. She felt that Wang Xin would come back sooner or later. Because Wang Xin had no ability to survive, Zhang Sanni might not be able to survive. Everyone would know that Wang Ru disappeared sooner or later. Besides, she and Zhou Shuren belonged to the Zhou family. It is good to inform the patriarch's family in advance, so that no one will find the village in the future, and it is better to be prepared.
Zhou Wangshi covered her mouth, "Oh my God!"
It was over with an exclamation, and Zhou Wang was not stupid, she must have a strong background for daring to kidnap someone, and she didn't have the heart to ask the bottom line.
Then Zhou Wang's conversation changed, and also avoided Wang Laosi's family, only talking about the recent changes in the village.
Zhou Wang said with a smile: "Last year, the Zheng family collected a lot of dried vegetables. This year, wild vegetables came out. Every household in the village dug wild vegetables and dried them. I just don't know if the Zheng family will come to collect them this year."
Zhulan is also not sure, this year is going to use soldiers, "Even if you don't come to collect them, it's good to save them for winter."
"You're right, there can be more green vegetables in winter."
Zhou Wangshi asked about her experience in the capital again, and Zhulan told everything she could. Zhou Wangshi didn't ask Zhou Shuren and his wife why they went to the capital. Zhou Wangshi understood that they were just relatives.
