"Good boy."
The old lady hugged her happily and distressedly: "Your great-grandmother is right. Whether we women are lucky or not depends on whether she marries well. If she marries well, she will have a worry-free life. If she marries poorly, she may have no worries.
Your life has been miserable, but grandma thinks you are lucky, Hua'er."
There were some things that Hualan couldn't say to Zhou Chen, but she had no scruples with her grandmother. After talking to her grandmother, she felt much better and the pressure on her body was relieved a lot.
Zhou Chen came to Shou'an Hall to look for Hua Lan and saw Minglan talking to Pinlan.
As soon as Minglan saw Zhou Chen, she immediately stood up and saluted: "eldest brother-in-law."
Pinlan also hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Minglan, I haven't seen you in a few years. You have grown so big. How is your throwing practice now?"
Minglan was a little reserved at first, but when she heard Zhou Chen talk about what happened back then, she couldn't help but smile.
"I would also like to thank my eldest brother-in-law for his guidance back then."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "You have grown up, but you are not as lively as before. I heard your eldest sister mention your little sister. From now on, you should stay with your grandmother. She is a good person and she will love you."
."
"Grandma treats Minglan very well."
Hearing Zhou Chen talk about his little girl, Minglan's face flashed with sadness, but she quickly adjusted herself.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything more, but just warned: "If anything happens in the future, I can ask your eldest sister."
Minglan saluted again: "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Zhou Chen and Hua Lan had dinner at Wei Ruixuan. On the table were Zhou Chen and Hua Lan, Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, Sheng Changbai and Sheng Rulan, and Aunt Kang.
Yes, Aunt Kang was really thick-skinned. She stayed until the evening and ate at the same table with Zhou Chen and the others.
But except for Wang Ruofu who laughed when he saw her, the rest of them didn't talk to her very much, especially Sheng Hong, who didn't give her a good look.
Ever since they moved to Tokyo, Aunt Kang has been coming to visit Qiufeng frequently, especially after learning that they were married to the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion, she came even more frequently.
Today is the day for my daughter to return home to peace. They were having dinner as a family, and everyone who didn't look at the old lady and the big room didn't come to see her. But Aunt Kang was so good that she served the table shamelessly, which made him feel like he had eaten a fly.
Just as uncomfortable.
At the dinner table, Sheng Hong ignored her at all and just said this to Zhou Chen.
"Sanlang, you are now in the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the horse army, and you hold many positions. You must be grateful to the officials and don't slack off."
Sheng Hong originally wanted to make fun of his father-in-law, but when he thought about Zhou Chen's current position being several levels higher than him, he thought about it and encouraged him instead.
When he thought of this, his teeth ached. He had worked hard for more than ten years and was finally transferred to Tokyo. As a result, his good son-in-law, who was nearly 21 years old, had already received military honors and was still a fifth-rank official in the imperial court.
.
The son-in-law is wearing a scarlet robe, but his father-in-law is still wearing a green robe, which is sad.
"My son-in-law, please remember your father-in-law's teachings and you will never let down your holy grace." Zhou Chen was very cooperative.
My father-in-law is a showman, and he is also a showman.
Aunt Kang suddenly said with envy: "Sister, brother-in-law, your eldest brother-in-law is really capable. He has already put on a scarlet robe at a young age. Even my niece has taken advantage of it and been awarded the fourth rank.
Gaoming, this is an honor that neither your old lady nor your sister has."
The smile on Sheng Hong's face suddenly stopped. He knew that this sister-in-law didn't hold in her fart well. What do you mean? You can praise her as much as you want. Can you hold back your innuendos?
Wang Ruofu was indeed fooled: "That's right, Sanlang is a capable person, and Hualan is my first-born daughter. Mrs. Sipin Gaoming, she is much more honorable than a mother like me."
Sheng Hong was hit with another sword in the chest. This bitch could really piss him off.
It was Hua Lan's words that relieved her father's embarrassment. She also had no good impressions of Aunt Kang.
But Aunt Kang was obviously not ready to end it like this, and continued: "Brother-in-law, you have vision and ability. Unlike our family, he can't find a good teacher for Jin'er. If it weren't for our Jin'er
He is a young boy who is studying, and I also want him to learn from Saburo and go to the frontier to make contributions."
Zhou Chen's skin got goosebumps at the sound of Saburo's cry.
Sheng Hong curled his lips with a disdainful expression. He was still studying for a young man, but he was still going to the frontier to make contributions, let alone die.
He didn't want to listen to Aunt Kang's nonsense, so he said to Hua Lan: "Hua'er, you can go back after dinner later. It's hard to leave after dark."
Before Hua Lan spoke, Wang Ruofu became anxious: "Guanren, why are you like this? Hua'er and I haven't had a good conversation yet. Are you so pushy?"
Sheng Hong wished he could sew his wife's mouth shut.
"Sanlang, don't think too much, I'm afraid you will be delayed at night."
"Thank you for your concern, father-in-law. We will tell my grandmother and go back later."
Zhou Chen didn't want to sit at the same table to eat with Aunt Kang. He might have some crooked ideas. This woman was really thick-skinned, and it was better to avoid provoking him as little as possible.
After dinner, Zhou Chen and Hualan said goodbye to their grandmother, then to Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, and then left the Sheng Mansion in a carriage.
In the carriage compartment, Zhou Chen said to Hua Lan: "Madam, I see that you didn't eat much at the table just now. You will definitely be hungry when you go back. Last time I asked you to go to Fanlou, you didn't go. It just so happened that it was still early. I
I’ll take you to Fanlou for a meal.”
"Are you going now?" Hua Lan looked hesitant, but very excited. She was also very curious about Fan Lou.
Even Cuichan and Caihan, who were also waiting in the carriage, showed excitement. As maids, although they don't have to stay at home like girls, they have been to many places, but they have not yet
I ate at Fanlou.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Of course it's now, let's go."
