Chapter 673 Jade Pendant

Then three thousand taels were set aside, "These two thousand taels are reserved for this year's household."

With the remaining 12,000 taels, Zhulan took out two thousand taels, "I will take this for the boss to buy a house and shop for Xuemei, and use the rest to worship the ancestors."

Zhou Shuren looked at the last ten thousand taels, "What are you going to do with this money?"

Zhulan pulled her hair down, "I didn't think about it."

Zhou Shuren, "Then leave it for now."

Then Zhou Shuren looked at the various boxes on the table, "I have saved a lot of things over the years."

Zhulan opened the boxes one by one, "That's right, this box is full of shop deeds, this box is the land deed and Zhuangzi, and the last box is the maid's deed of sale."

Zhou Shuren pointed to the last box, "What's in it?"

Zhulan opened it and said, "This is the most precious jade pendant of the Zhou family when I first came here. My mother-in-law passed away without explaining it clearly. I kept it carefully."

Zhou Shuren took out the jade pendant and looked at it, "I really didn't look at it carefully before, but looking at it now, this jade pendant is not owned by ordinary people."

Zhulan took it over, "It's a pity that I didn't explain clearly at the beginning, now I can only press the bottom of the box."

Seeing Zhulan close the box, Zhou Shuren said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed earlier."

Zhulan is really tired today, she has been busy all day, "Well, I have to ask the doctor to show Su Xuan tomorrow, this stomach looks like it's been in for eight months, so I need to be more careful."

Zhou Shuren was speechless, "Once you come back, you can't stop worrying."

Zhulan rubbed her shoulders, "I just worry about my life, well, rest."

In the capital, the emperor is sending an urgent report on the northeast border. The weather has just warmed up, and the foreigners can't stand it anymore. They have already fought a battle, and the soldiers of this dynasty who have won, the emperor's heart is very happy. Now the west is stable. It needs to be concentrated in the northeast. This time, the foreigners outside the northeast must be conquered.

The queen came to deliver the supper, "The concubine heard the emperor's laughter before entering the store, but is there a happy event?"

The emperor looked at the hour, "Why hasn't the hour rested yet?"

"The concubine is thinking about the emperor, so she specially prepared supper."

The emperor pulled the queen to sit down, and the son came back, and the relationship between him and the queen has improved. In the past, the queen would not prepare supper for him, let alone deliver it in person. "Sit."

The queen asked, "The emperor hasn't said any happy event yet? Is it news from Rong Chuan?"

The emperor laughed, "You know the news about Rong Chuan better than I do, don't think I don't know, you have new news about Rong Chuan every day."

The queen missed her son in her heart, and after meeting her, she couldn't hold back the longing in her heart, "I really hope Rong Chuan can return to the capital as soon as possible."

The emperor held the queen's hand, "Even if the child comes back, you won't be able to see it."

The queen stared, "Who said that, he is an editor of Hanlin, the emperor can often see it, so I can naturally."

She had made up her mind, and would come here to bring some snacks to the emperor from time to time, anyway, there was that fake Shen Yang on top of it, no one knew that she was here to see Rong Chuan.

The emperor guessed the queen's method, and he was also happy that the queen came more, "The happy event just now is the battle report. I just won the battle."

The Queen doesn't care about this anymore, and no one from the Ning Mansion will participate in the war, and she doesn't want the Ning Mansion to fight for military exploits, the descendants of the Ning Mansion really can't afford to lose.

The next day, the news of the war reached Jinzhou. After hearing the news, Zhulan found out the unexpected 10,000 taels of silver. She believed that the court would be the victor, but not everyone had confidence in the court. Yes, many people moved to the central or southern regions last year.

Now it’s spring, and a big battle must be decided. Zhulan called the boss, “Here is fifteen thousand taels, and three thousand taels is the dowry silver for your eldest sister, and two thousand taels are for your elder sister.” My sister bought a house and two shops off the shelf, and the remaining two thousand taels were used to set up banquets for worshiping the ancestors, and you sent the last ten thousand taels to Wu Yan, who will help him buy the Zhuangzi and the land."

Boss Zhou took the money, "Mother, the price of Zhuangzi in the Northeast is much cheaper now, will you buy Zhuangzi and land for 10,000 taels?"

Zhulan thought for a while,

"Half of them buy Zhuangzi and land, and half of them buy shops."

Forget about the house, and their family will not go back to the border to live. After the war is over, the shop will be sold.

Boss Zhou remembered it all in his heart, "Mom, then we will leave tomorrow."

"Well, you have to be more careful along the way, especially when you go to Wu Ming. This time, Shen Xing will follow you. When you go to Wu Ming, you must take Shen Xing with you."

Boss Zhou is also afraid of death, "Mother, don't worry, I will be more careful."

He still has great blessings to enjoy, but he must live a long life.

Zhulan thought of Wu Ming. Speaking of which, Wu Yan, the county magistrate, had some ideas. He had never been promoted, and he didn't know when he would be promoted.

In the afternoon, Zhulan received a letter from Xuemei. After reading the letter, Zhulan really had no way to save her, so Zhulan replied to the letter, signaling Xuemei to leave it alone, and the Zhou government could not handle this matter.

I happened to reply some letters to the boss, and set off tomorrow to take them back.

Boss Zhou went back to the yard, "Damn it, quickly find all the money in the house."

Li Shi was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Laodao: "Mother took 10,000 taels and asked Wu Ming to sell the Zhuangzi and the shop. I thought, let's buy some too, let's forget about Zhuangzi, and only buy the shop."

As soon as Mrs. Li heard what her mother-in-law had brought, she immediately went to the bedside to dig through the box of banknotes, and took it out with difficulty, "Fortunately, I have been thinking about my third brother and Rongchuan's imperial examination. I haven't spent money on buying a dowry for my daughter, but , I also spent a lot last year, and now it’s all here, a total of 1,500 taels.”

Boss Zhou felt that it was too little, "Mother probably doesn't have much silver in her hand, and just now I took three thousand taels for my sister to put in the bottom of the box. I can't ask Mother to borrow money."

Mrs. Li, "Look for the money from the fourth sibling, and the fourth sibling has money."

Boss Zhou thought about it, "It's hard for me to see my fourth sibling, I'm going to leave this matter to you, we will give you two thousand taels of interest."

Mrs. Li put down the box, "I'll go now."

Zhou Laodao: "I'll ask the second and third to see if they are interested."

"Go ahead."

Mrs. Li went to the fourth room, and Su Xuan helped her stomach to get up, "Sister-in-law, come in and sit down."

Seeing Su Xuan's stomach, Mrs. Li was frightened and did not dare to sit beside Su Xuan, "Sister and brother, please slow down, I feel flustered looking at it."

Su Xuan was also worried when she touched her stomach. There were small patterns on both sides of her waist. Fortunately, her skin was not tight. Although there were some small patterns, they were not obvious. Otherwise, she should have cried, "Sister-in-law, come and find me." I have something to do!"

Mrs. Li was embarrassed, "My brother and sister asked, and my sister-in-law said directly that my sister-in-law came to borrow money from my brother and sister."

Su Xuan knew that sister-in-law spends every penny carefully, not someone who spends money recklessly, "Sister-in-law, how much do you want to borrow, I'll take it for you."
