Chapter 375 Express Yourself
Chang Lian didn't have any thoughts at all, he was not only afraid of his father, but even more afraid of his mother, who was ruthless, anyway, the room was warm, so just stand when you stand!
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong are even lower. If it was before, Mrs. Dong would be a little dissatisfied, but now she is not at all. She just wants to please her mother-in-law, and hopes that her mother-in-law will protect her more when she is not consummated. Mrs. Dong When she thought of her mother telling her that Changlian might have a concubine in the future, her heart was clenched. At this moment, she just wanted to please her mother-in-law, not to mention standing, kneeling would do.
Time passed bit by bit, butler Ding came in without looking sideways, and said, "Mother, the luggage of the second and third masters has been delivered to the courtyards, and the mountain goods brought over have also been put into the warehouse. Now the house is burning hot." , hot water is also ready."
Zhulan asked, "Is the pot ready?"
"It's ready, it's served."
Zhulan stood up and said: "Let's all go to eat first. After eating, the second child and Changlian stayed behind. Mrs. Zhao took the two children back to take a bath and change clothes. Mrs. Dong also went back to pack the luggage. Changzhi took Rong Chuan and Mingyun go back, the three of you are in the same yard."
Zhulan took the lead and went to the main hall to eat, the pot on the table was already opened, there were still few vegetables in winter, only radishes and cabbage, the meat on the table was the most, and some noodles were rolled out in the kitchen.
Seeing that Zhulan was already seated, she didn't move, she was waiting for her to speak, "Stop watching, hurry up and eat, rest after eating, we can talk about it later at night."
When the voice fell, Zhou Laoer and the others dared to eat with chopsticks.
Zhulan had eaten at noon, and she was sitting by the side to pick up food for her grandchildren. The little guy Mingrui has a good appetite despite the cold, and he even picked out meat to eat, "Slow down, slow down, no one will grab you."
Mingrui swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Grandma, I haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Zhulan looked at Zhou Laoer, and Zhou Laoer said, "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense, I ate meat buns this morning!"
Mingrui, "I mean it's been a long time since I ate meat so much."
Bamboo orchid, ""
Come on, Zhou Laoer doesn't have to joke that the boss has a cheating son, he has one too.
Zhou Lao Er gritted his teeth, this kid is a jerk, every time he wants to express and what he wants to say is far from what he wants to say, and later he figured it out, this kid is doing it on purpose, especially when he is unhappy.
The kid was angry that he hadn't given him lunch at noon,
Seeing grandma's strength again, this kid definitely did it on purpose, look at the excited little eyes!
Butler Ding came with the doctor, and Zhulan asked the doctor to take the pulse of Zhou Laoer and his party one by one.
Only Mingrui caught a cold, and everyone else was fine. The doctor prescribed medicine and left.
Mrs. Zhao waited for the doctor to leave and explained: "This kid has a stubborn temper, so I asked him to change into a thick cotton coat, so he caught the cold."
Zhulan held the teacup and looked at Mrs. Zhao, who was flustered by her mother-in-law, "Mother."
Zhulan found out that Mingrui was not stubborn, and that Mrs. Zhao hadn't treated her children lightly for more than a year. Mingrui was not only picky about eating, but also put food she didn't like in Mrs. Zhao's bowl. Just now, she even provoked her father, good boy It's useless to be so used to it.
Zhou Laoer couldn't eat anymore. He really didn't realize that his son was used to something shameful. On the contrary, he was very happy to fight wits with him. It's just that when he got home and there were more children, he immediately showed that his son's temper was very bad. Obedient.
Zhou Lao Er couldn't help but look at Ming Teng who was the most noisy. Ming Teng sat obediently with his back straight, even if he didn't eat, his eyes didn't wander around, and he didn't make a sound when they were eating. Pass.
Zhou Laoer pursed his lips, "Mother."
Zhulan put down the teacup, "Mingrui is young, but we can't neglect education. Children should be taught well when they are young. Pack up Mingrui's things and move them to Mingteng's house. The two brothers live together, and they will be prosperous in the future." Wisdom enlightens Mingrui."
Changzhi was dumbfounded, why did he still have his business? It was enough for him to teach Ming Teng, but he didn't say the word mother, and immediately changed his words when he met Shangniang's eyes, "I listen to mother."
He had a deep understanding of what his mother said, and thinking of the books he was thinking about, he agreed to many conditions for his mother!
Zhulan hummed, stood up and said: "I'm going back to the house first, the second child and Changlian come over after eating, the rest of the people should leave!"
After Zhulan left, Zhou Laoer hurriedly said, "Brother, tell me about the situation in Lizhou."
Boss Zhou curled his lips inwardly. At this time, he called his eldest brother affectionately, not just at the door just now. The bad brother said with a smile, "Okay, I will tell you."
Boss Zhou told everything that happened, how much money the family invested and how much money they earned, and everything in detail. Boss Zhou talked very well, and he can also help his mother on his own.
Zhou Laoer's heart sank. He was still thinking about taking over the work from his elder brother. He didn't expect that his elder brother could handle it very well. The only one he could compete with was his elder brother. There is no need to compare the third and fourth brothers. The two The younger brother is going to take the imperial examination, he is not as good as him, and now that the eldest brother is up, what advantage does he have?
Chang Lian didn't care about the pensive second brother, he looked down on his elder brother, now that he is home, he still has to give what should be given to the elder brother, and took out the banknote from his purse, "Brother, this is all the money earned by the sister-in-law and the son-in-law. Here it is."
Boss Zhou didn't understand, Chang Lian explained the process again, and then Boss Zhou understood that one thousand taels, although it belonged to the daughter-in-law, was also the property of the big family. Boss Zhou was overjoyed to say that these two younger brothers didn't write at all, this is jealousy!
There were times when he was jealous of his younger brothers, it was so comforting to think about it!
Mrs. Li was about to faint from joy, "Is this one thousand taels?"
Boss Zhou laughed loudly, "Yes, one thousand taels."
Mrs. Li quickly put it away, "This is the biggest happy event since I was pregnant."
With one thousand taels, she can also save some dowry for her daughter!
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Dong glanced at each other. They were all focused on their mother-in-law just now, but now they found out that sister-in-law was pregnant again. Then they looked at sister-in-law's jewelry, the whole set of jewelry head, the cloak was also newly made, the two looked at sister-in-law Well, sister-in-law's clothes are no worse than sister-in-law's.
The two of them were so sad, did the mother-in-law raise the elder sister-in-law as a daughter?
A quarter of an hour later, Zhulan waited for the two brothers Zhou Laoer and Changlian to come. Seeing Zhou Laoer holding the account book, Zhulan felt that Zhou Laoer was careful, "Take it here and have a look."
Zhou Lao Er handed over the account book, and took out the bank note, "Mother, this is the money for selling the house. In the past two years, the money for selling grain has been spent on hiring convoys and bodyguards, and the rest is spent on mushrooms. It's a mountain."
Zhulan didn't look her head in reply, motioning for Zhou Laoer and Changlian to sit down, "Eat some apples, from your own."
The two brothers Zhou and Lao Er responded, they have been thinking about apples for a long time, this is a good thing, the artist took one and gnawed slowly, the two brothers looked at each other, and it was still comfortable to go home.
Zhulan believed that Zhou Laoer did not dare to make false accounts. Zhou Laoer was shrewd so he would not look at these petty profits. The gifts from the country gentry and others are very clear, how many vases, how many calligraphy and paintings are there, who is the source, and the valuation behind it.
Zhulan raised her eyebrows, Zhou Er is so smart, this is because she wants to use the ledger to show her ability!
Zhulan estimated the money, and the most important thing was to receive gifts. The most expensive part was calligraphy and paintings. During the war, many people made a fortune as long as they had the guts.
Zhulan asked, "Did you bring them all here?"
Zhou Er Er put down the apple in his hand, "I brought them all in a sealed box, and the arrangements in my hometown have been made according to what mother said."
Zhulan closed the account book, "I know you are careful, don't worry about your office lady, tell me about the situation of your eldest sister's family?"
