Chapter 179

Mrs. Li was happy in her heart. If she hadn't remembered Mother's instructions, she would have lost her composure, and told herself over and over in her heart, I can hold on, hold on, "Auntie."

Acting as the shadow of the sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly called out, "Auntie."

Mrs. Lin took a few more glances at Mrs. Zhao. According to experience, the lower the profile, the lower the sense of existence, the person with the deepest thoughts. Looking at Mrs. Yang from the corner of her eye, she really couldn't believe the news she inquired about. He found out that Mrs. Li was stupid Mr. Zhao is cowardly and weak. Only after seeing it with his own eyes did he realize how wrong the information he inquired about was!

Zhulan has been paying attention to Mrs. Lin, and from Mrs. Lin's reaction, she knows that Mrs. Lin thinks the information she inquired about is wrong.

Zhulan knew in her heart that even though Li and Zhao had changed a lot in a year, the better Li and Zhao were, the more jealous the young daughters-in-law in the village were. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have enough hatred for the women in the village. When someone inquires, they will naturally talk about the worst side. It is not to blame that Lin's news is wrong, Lin just misjudged the dark side of people's hearts.

Afterwards, Lin's gifts were given away, Xuehan got a silver bracelet, Yushuang's granddaughters got a silver lock, the grandchildren got pens and inks, and there were unopened gifts, all of which the county magistrate planned to give to Zhulan's sons.

Zhulan also prepared a meeting gift for Chuchu, a pair of hollowed-out silver bracelets, emeralds inlaid as highlights, Dong Chuchu's favorite color, although not particularly expensive, full of heart.

Lin was very satisfied, and Dong Chuchu liked it too.

Because Lin's family is a female family member, Zhou's elder brother and second child went out after seeing each other.

As for Zhou Shuren, who went to the county early in the morning, these days, the county magistrate often instructed Zhou Shuren to study literature, and basically went to the county every day. After all, it was a visit from a female family member, so it was not appropriate for Zhou Shuren to stay.

There was a carriage parked at the gate of Zhou's house, and many gifts were brought. There were people wandering around the gate all morning. If they hadn't found out that it was the county magistrate's wife, someone would have come in long ago.

People are afraid of officials, especially in ancient times, no matter how curious people are, they dare not come to the door.

Zhulan chatted with Mrs. Lin, and Xuehan took Chuchu back to the house. Even though it was the second time they met, they were no strangers at all.

Lin waited for the children to leave, and said with a smile: "I heard that my brother and sister are learning to draw?"

Zhu Lan was silent, Zhou Shuren could only reveal this news, and said with a smile, "I'm just groping for myself, learning is not counted, just thinking about learning more is good."

Lin smiled, "Can I show my sister-in-law?"

Zhulan is happy, she is in need of guidance, "Okay."

As she said that, Zhulan turned out the paintings, and she found that she did have a talent for painting and developed new skills. Zhulan continued to paint for several days, but she stopped when she got busy at home.

Zhu Lan took out a picture of a fish, and felt a little embarrassed, "The picture is not good."

Lin took it over and looked at it. Although he was a beginner who was groping for something by himself, the painting was dull, but the fish painting was quite similar. "It's already very good. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that my brother and sister are beginners."

Zhulan has a guilty conscience. As a beginner, she has seen a lot of grandpa's paintings, and even if she didn't learn how to draw, she still remembers how to draw. "It seems that I have some talent if I can catch the eyes of my sister-in-law."

Lin nodded with a smile, "He is indeed talented."

That's great, the more talent the Yang family has, the more she will not lose face when she goes out in the future, and the two families will become successful in the future, she will not be afraid of being involved and losing face.

She knows how much Mrs. Guan likes to compare, especially Mrs. Guan is from a family background. She likes to hold tea banquets and painting banquets. She is especially willing to invite wives from farmers to set off her elegance. Only when I have a small loss, I set my heart to learn.

Lin thought, the old man dare not estimate whether Zhou Shuren can be admitted to Jinshi, but in the next provincial examination, as long as Zhou Shuren is lucky, he will have no problem raising others. Thinking about it this way, the smile on his face becomes more real. , even if you don't pass the Jinshi exam, the master will help you find an official in the future, the more the Zhou family can rely on the master, and the daughter's life will be smoother.

Lin's intimacy has become stronger, and she has been more careful in giving advice to Zhulan, and Zhulan has benefited a lot.

At noon, the meal was ready, and some boys who went to the school came back for dinner. Mrs. Lin also saw some boys. Changlian was fifteen years old, and he jumped up. Zhou Shuren, plus his facial features are open, he looks good, and his clothes are clean, let alone the type that girls like.

At the age of twelve, Changzhi also grew a little, because his facial features were not opened and he was a little baby fat, but he looked a little younger.

Rong Chuan has become fair, but he is still thin and thin. Due to the severe deficit, he has supplemented his nutrition for half a year, and he has not grown much. He is obviously eleven years old, but he looks eight or nine years old.

Comparing the three boys, Changlian stands out the most.

After Lin's questioning separately, Zhulan asked the three boys to go out for dinner.

There were two tables for lunch, originally Zhulan meant to eat separately, Lin thought of letting her daughter take a look, so she stopped Zhulan and put them together in the main hall.

Ever since Chu Chu asked her about the two older brothers, Xuehan knew in her heart the purpose of the Dong family's sudden visit. She was surprised but also curious. The two older brothers, she preferred the younger brother, and the third brother, she felt uncomfortable. Suitable for Chuchu, Chuchu's nature is straightforward, Changlian has too many thoughts.

Zhulan looked at Dong Chuchu from the corner of her eye, the little girl was very measured, she ate after a few glances, she didn't show it on her face, she didn't see anything, this girl has a straightforward temper but has a good deal in her heart, She is very satisfied with Dong Chuchu, and according to her standards for finding a daughter-in-law, she really likes Dong Chuchu more.

Chang Lian and Chang Zhi couldn't even notice it, they didn't know the purpose of Mrs. Dong's visit, they just thought that their father was really powerful, and their family had a good relationship with the county magistrate's family!

The main reason is that there is such a big gap that those in Changlian dare not think too much about it.

This is also the reason why the Lin family dared to bring their daughter here. The Zhou family did not dare to talk too much. Outsiders saw the gap, and they never spoke clearly. Who knows what they are here for?

In the afternoon, Zhulan sent Lin and Chuchu away, thinking in her heart that when Zhou Shuren came back in the evening, she would know if there was a follow-up.
