Chapter 1664: Fear

Zhou Shuren took his daughter-in-law and sat down, "Of course it is true. The printed book has been sent to the private school in the capital. The emperor's intention was to promote it in the capital a few years ago, and then send it to the states after the year."

Zhulan, "I thought it would be popularized after Zhuangzi changed."

"are you happy?"

"Happy."

Zhou Shuren was also happy. In the afternoon, the emperor told him that he felt that the dark sky was no longer oppressive.

After dinner, the couple talked about education and talked a lot, and Zhulan also took notes. As people are old, their memory is not very good, and now they think of things that need to be written down.

Going to bed at night, Zhulan took Shuren's hand, "You are still too thin and your hands are dry."

Zhou Shuren squeezed his wife's fat hand, squeezed a hole, and fell silent.

Zhulan opened her eyes, "Why don't you speak?"

"say what?"

Zhulan, "Forget it, you can't get fat."

Zhou Shuren touched the folds on his face, it's not good to be too thin, he looked much older than his daughter-in-law, "Go to sleep."

Zhulan was so happy that she couldn't sleep today, "Let's talk again?"

Zhou Shuren didn't want to talk about fat and thinness, "What?"

Zhulan whispered: "As I get older, I sometimes wonder if we will go back if we die?"

Zhou Shuren didn't think about this question for a long time, "Do you want to go back?"

"Think, I'm not married yet."

Zhou Shuren chuckled softly, "You are too grandma."

Zhulan's tone was brisk, "Modern is modern."

Zhou Shuren clenched his daughter-in-law's hand, "Then I will marry you again."

Zhulan rolled her eyes, "That won't be easy."

The corners of Zhou Shuren's lips were slightly hooked. People must marry. This night, the couple rarely recalled modern life and talked for a long time.

The next day, Zhu Lan lost her good mood after reading the letter from her hometown. Li's father went, and her mother followed, mumbling, "I'm in good health, why did the patient disappear after one incident?"

Li Shi was also stunned when he received the news. His hand was shaking while holding the letter. Boss Zhou was busy supporting the lady.

Zhulan counted her age. Li's parents were in their 60s and almost 70. In ancient times, they lived long lives. Back then, Li's parents were struggling for a living in the fields, but their bones were still deficient. They could live in their 60s because of their old age.

Mrs. Li was already crying, but she didn't say that she wanted to go back to her parents' house. Her parents had already been buried, and it was too late for her to go back.

Zhulan felt uncomfortable when she heard Mrs. Li's cry. She clearly asked her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law to chat, but they were happy just now, "The letter says that my father-in-law and mother-in-law left with a smile."

Li Shi was even more uncomfortable after hearing this, and tears kept flowing, "It's obvious that he is in good health."

Zhulan asked, "Are you going back to worship?"

Li shed tears silently. After a while, she said, "My daughter-in-law wants to go to the temple to donate incense money for her parents."

Zhulan responded, "Okay."

In ancient times, it was too difficult to marry a daughter far away. Now it is winter again, and it is even more difficult to go back.

Mrs Li cried for a while, then lost her energy, got up and went back to her yard.

Zhulan sat silently by the window, and everyone would associate it with her. She naturally thought of herself. She didn't know how long she had been sitting before her legs became numb before she regained her senses.

Since the death of Rong Yuyu, the Hou Mansion was dressed plainly, and the big room did not need to change clothes.

The next day, except for Wen Yue's children, who couldn't go out, they all went to the temple. They came back in the afternoon when it was getting dark. Not long after they came back, Mrs. Li fell ill.

Recently, Mrs. Li was already haggard and lost her parents again. The illness was very severe, and the high fever was repeated, which scared everyone in the big house.

Zhulan was restless at night, and she was in a daze. She kept Qingxue staring at her, and got up in the morning to get news of Li's cooling down.

After the meal, Zhulan went to see Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li was lying on the bed, the eldest son was feeding the porridge himself, and coaxed, "Eat a little if you don't want to."

Zhulan could see clearly, the eldest son was frightened, his eyes were bloodshot, he must have secretly cried.

Li Shi felt uncomfortable, and when she heard her mother-in-law's voice, she said nervously, "Mother, don't come too close to avoid getting sick."

Her parents just passed away from illness, she was really scared.

Boss Zhou put down his bowls and chopsticks and got up, "Mother, there is a son here, don't worry."

Seeing that Mrs. Li had already pulled the quilt to cover her head, Zhulan felt her heart warm. She nodded to her son and turned to leave the bedroom. Before sitting down for a while, Boss Zhou came out with a bowl. Zhulan saw that she had eaten half a bowl of porridge. not worried.

Zhou Laodao: "Mother is worried."

Zhulan, "You also have more rest."

There was a smile on Boss Zhou's face, "Yeah."

The mother and son said a few more words. Ran Wan and Liu Jia came over and were taken care of by their two daughters-in-law. Boss Zhou took the opportunity to rest for a while.

Zhulan walked out of the big room and saw Zhao Shi and Su Xuan walking over together, "Your sister-in-law just took some medicine and rested."

Zhao Shi, "Then let's come back in the afternoon."

Su Xuan stepped forward and supported her mother-in-law, "Mother, daughter-in-law will take you back."

"good."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren hurried back and saw that his daughter-in-law was all right, his worried heart calmed down, "What's wrong with you today?"

Zhulan, "No, I'm fine."

The boss was afraid that she would be sick and asked the doctor to check her pulse. Her body and bones were fine.

Zhou Shuren, "This year is not a good year."

Not for Zhouhou Mansion.

Zhulan, "Yeah, this year is really bad."

Because of Li's illness, Zhou Hou's mansion became quieter, and all posts sent to Hou's mansion were rejected.

Changzhong didn't go out anymore, and stayed with his mother all day. Zhulan knew his son's fears, and faced death one after another, and his son was afraid that his parents would also leave him.

Zhulan put down the book in her hand, "You don't have to guard your mother."

Changzhong couldn't suppress his worries. He never felt that his parents were getting old. In his subconscious, his parents would watch him become a biological child and live a long life, and look at the white hair on his mother's head, "Mother, my son wants to accompany him. following you."

Now that he is facing the age of his parents, he is afraid and dreams every day these days.

Zhulan laughed, "Your father and I are pretty good, we will definitely see you as a biological child."

Changzhong got up and put his head on his mother's lap, "Son, I hope you and dad will always accompany my son."

Zhulan touched her son's head, where is there forever, and asked, "What kind of girl have you ever thought about marrying?"

Next year, Yudie and Gai will have a son.

Chang Zhong said in a sullen voice, "Father and mother like their son as much as they like."

Zhulan was surprised, "Don't you want to find someone you like?"

Changzhong shook his head, now his father and mother are the most important thing in his heart, "You and father have good eyesight."

Zhulan laughed The son was still young, and she thought that for her son, she and Shuren would also work hard to live.

Qingxue came in, "Master Zhuo sent a message to the young master."

Changzhong raised his head, "How could he give me a post?"

Said he took the post, "A post about painting appreciation?"

Zhulan brought it over, "I heard your fourth brother say that Zhuo Guyu bought Gu Sheng's painting."

Chang Zhong really didn't pay attention to it. After Gu Sheng entered the Hanlin Academy, he had less contact with Gu Sheng. Anyway, the fourth brother was there, "Zhuo Guyu doesn't appreciate Gu Sheng's paintings, right?"

Zhulan, "I heard from your father that Gu Sheng has been in the palace a lot recently."

Changzhong pondered, "My son will participate."

Then he called the little servant and asked the servant to inquire whether the future concubine was invited.
