Chapter 209: Family Meeting
After receiving Zhou Bo's letter about going to Qingzhou, Zhou Shangyi and his wife looked at it face to face, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although they don't know Zhou Bo, the so-called wife at all, I don't know why, every time they see or think of that Xuejian, their hearts always have an indescribable feeling of being scratched by cat claws. Du smiled gently at Zhou Shangyi, which was of course because his son was finally willing to take a step back.
Regarding Liu Yatong's whereabouts, Zhou Shangyi and his wife are in a dilemma. Neither side would give in, and the couple were sandwiched between them. The couple discussed, "This is to place the mother and daughter of the Liu family in Qingzhou, and then wait until Xue sees the delivery before marriage." Zhou Shangyi nodded and said, "It is really inappropriate for a daughter-in-law to marry an ordinary wife when she is pregnant." Marrying an ordinary wife is different from taking a concubine. At this time, even the Zhou family will make people poke their backbone.
Now the couple are really surprised and happy. Now the son personally wrote a letter about the mother and daughter of the Liu family, and the arrangement was so satisfactory. Du was happy: "Anyway, this son is not raised in vain, and he also knows that he loves his parents and sisters." Zhou Shangyi smiled. This matter has dragged on for so long that he finally has an understanding. The old husband and wife finally recovered, so they were in the mood to gossip, "I didn't expect Bo Geer to buy a house in Qingzhou."
"I heard from Er Niang that the house in Qingzhou is bigger and more beautiful than that in Anning County, which is completely comparable to our previous house in the capital." Du said with a smile. Speaking of the house in the capital, Zhou Shangyi snorted, and Du didn't go on. Touching several exquisite and gorgeous lacquerware in the bedroom, my son's vision is unique, and all the selected things are exquisite.
How did my son have such a means? Can you accumulate so much wealth in a short time? Including the release of "Li Daitao" from prison, I think the money is the same as the sea, right? Watching the old wife rubbing the furniture over and over again, I knew that she was actually rubbing the time that had passed. Zhou Shangyi withdrew his eyes and began to think deeply about his son, who had a business mind since he was a child.
My son has had an extraordinary business mind since he was a child, which is certain, but this "begant from scratch", "white wolf" and "grabbing things in the air" means some legendary books. Doubt turned back to doubt, but Zhou Shangyi took the biggest loss of this life and had already figured it out. Originally, I wanted to retreat from my hometown and make a small business in Anning County with my own business mind, so that I could support my family. Who knew that the Zhenwei Zhai and Fulu Building, which were famous in the capital, were actually their own industries. He couldn't help sighing that his son had such a ability. He medited in his heart that he seemed to be old. Now that you are old, you can play with your grandchildren at home and enjoy the joy of family.
Who knew that there were so many accidents when he went home this time. The accident was still one after another. His daughter-in-law was stubborn and jealous, but his son refused to give in for half a step for his daughter-in-law here, which made him anxious. Now, his son has finally made concessions. How can he not be happy?
When the spring breeze rustled outside the window, Du Shi suddenly remembered and smiled happily at Zhou Shangyi, "Master, you'd better go to peace in person."
Zhou Shangyi nodded quickly and said, "It makes sense. I'll go tomorrow." He was still happy to accept the old wife's proposal. He didn't want to understand how his son came to the point, nor did he want to guess Xue Jian's attitude. But before going to Qingzhou, I went to the city to see my son in person to discuss specific matters.
Du raised his eyebrows this time and said, "It's just that the father-in-law has a bad temper." With this, he put the cushion in his hand behind his waist.
Last time he came back and heard Du's vague words, Zhou Shangyi nodded and said, "The former imperial doctor retired has some real ability, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to others. And, we..."
"Anyway, I'm also a family now." Du thought about the child in his belly and said, "This father-in-law is very good and excellent for his daughter-in-law and grandson." This time, it was sincere, not casual.
The next morning, Zhou Shangyi left the village and went straight to Anning County. Naturally, the son is in the Xu family. Naturally, the strange-tempered in-laws of the Xu family also want to meet.
After meeting and presenting a generous gift, Zhou Shangyi said with a wry smile, "Fath-in-law, these days are really worrying for you."
Xu Cong'an sat on it and didn't look at the gifts. He just said lightly, "As long as the snow is good, I'm willing to worry about it." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Shangyi with a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes and whispered, "There are still some things. I really don't want to worry about it, but it's not okay."
From Xu Cong'an's point of view, the older your Zhou family is, the more ignorant they are.
Zhou Shangyi's face stiffened. He didn't expect his family to be so careless, so he reluctantly smiled and said, "What his father-in-law said is..., but some people are indeed willing but weak..."
"It's hard to say whether you have enough heart but not enough power, or want to cling to wealth." Xu Cong'an's face was as heavy as water, and he hummed and smiled softly, "If the left and right were not generally evenly matched, there would be no hesitation to choose." With that, he looked at Zhou Shangyi with a smile, "In-laws, do you think so?"
"Actually..., my father-in-law, things are not all as you think, alas," Zhou Shangyi pretended to take a sip of tea, took the opportunity to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and muttered, "The Zhou family and the Liu family have a marriage contract first..."
What I thought was that I was taken advantage of by your goddaughter, but I can't say it. I saw that my son was also unsure, and my in-laws had a calm face, so I didn't go on talking any further.
"Real?" Xu Cong'an straightened his face and squinted to see that Zhou Bo was already worried, so he stared at him and pointed to him, "You sit on yours." The meaning is very clear, and it's not until you interrupt.
Zhou Bo also knew that he had a strange temper. In addition to Xue Jian and Qi Niang, he and Bai Yitian were also often scolded. If you don't let him say a few sour words now, you will definitely be unable to get through.
Xu Cong'an straightened his clothes and said coldly, "It's just that Xu heard that there is only one verbal agreement, right? Even if there is indeed a marriage contract, your eldest son is Xuejian, whom the Ming media is marrying. Do you have to go to be wronged and ask for everything now to let you recognize it? Then Xu wants to really doubt the motive of the Zhou family! Excuse me, which of the seven outs of the seven crimes have you made so difficult for Xuejian? Or did you do something that didn't protect women and Taoism?
He has always been just silently looking at Xuejian, watching Xuejian aggrieved himself, and Zhou Bo embarrassing himself. Does the week's family really think that he has pinched a soft pestle? If Xue Jian and Liu Yatong were just exchanged identities, would the ending be the same now? Although, the Zhou family owes the Liu family, but in the same way, the Zhou family owes Xue Jian!
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shangyi had turned red and muttered to Xu Cong'an, "How can there be such a thing..." This word made him angry, but he couldn't refute it.
Xu Cong'an did not continue to scold. The meaning that should be expressed has been expressed. At this moment, he stopped talking and quietly drank tea and listened to Zhou Shangyi's unmeaning explanation. He did not laugh at the Zhou family, but despised him. He didn't want Zhou Bo to be such a transparent and keen teenager to have such stubborn parents. No wonder he will be involved in the imperial business case!
"Your father-in-law doesn't have to be angry. Do you think there is nothing wrong with the Liu family now? Naturally, my father-in-law knows what I think. Zhou Bo, who had never said anything, raised his voice and said, "As for the following things, father-in-law, let's see what I do."
Zhou Shangyi sweated coldly and has been sitting on pins for half a day. At this time, he also bowed down and said, "Don't worry... Don't worry..."
Xu Cong'an glanced at Zhou Bo and sneered at him: "What's the use of coaxing me as a bad old man? At that time, that's the key to coax your daughter-in-law. She is not in a bad mood, and she is not good for your son, isn't she?" Xue had known for a long time that this child was a boy, but she just didn't want to tell you before.
"My father-in-law said it very well!" Zhou Bo whispered.
Xu Cong'an sighed again: "When I saw Xue, I met someone who was not good, and I was heart broken. Fortunately, now there is a little brother in her belly, your Zhou family, and let her have a place to stand! After all, it's not her fault! Isn't it?" Zhou Bo quickly bowed and said, "Yes, yes." Take this opportunity to show loyalty: "My wife is not very angry. Please enlighten my father-in-law."
Zhou Shangyi, sitting next to him, straightened his eyes and saw that his son was educated to be trained like a student in front of Xu Cong'an, and his heart was even more drumming. Although Xu Cong'an was an angry imperial doctor, he heard that he had a close relationship with the county magistrate's family, and it seemed that he really had some momentum.
Xu Cong'an said slowly, "Originally, I was lazy to be more careful. Now it seems that Brother Bo is also a confused person, so Xue Jian, it is more reassuring to take care of it by myself. Zhou Bo stood up and said with a smile, "Yes, Xue Jian's body and your grandson are all big things, and they can't be wrong again."
Zhou Shangyi was relieved to hear that they had a grandson and quickly came to thank Xu Cong'an. This grandson's matter is a big deal, and it is also taken care of by the royal doctor who once treated the nobles in the palace. How can he not let a big stone fall in his heart?
Turning his head, Xu Cong'an said to Zhou Shangyi, "I don't want anything from your Zhou family. I just hope you will be better at Xue."
