The uncle became unhappy and moved away from Zhou Lan. Then he put down the hand covering his head, put it behind his back, and walked away with mature steps.
Jiang Changxi couldn't comfort Jiang Changle at this time. This kid was about to become a drama queen.
Zhou Lan went over to pick up the letter and read it at a glance.
She thought to herself that it was no wonder that Zhou Lan's face was not good-looking. Although his uncle didn't say it explicitly, he said that Lin was afraid of remarrying.
The uncle said in the letter, congratulations to Zhou Lan for being named on the list, and let him study in peace and don't have to worry about his official career. The uncle will take care of the arrangements.
Then he asked Zhou Lan to reply.
Jiang Changxi took a deep breath and wrote back what to say, should I write that I agree with my mother's remarriage? This really made things difficult for my uncle.
Jiang Changxi: "Although studying is not more important than mothering, if my husband goes to Kyoto for this matter, I am afraid that my mother and uncle will not feel comfortable."
Zhou Lan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Changxi understood that Zhou Lan would rather they feel uncomfortable than just handing Mrs. Lin over to someone else. She was his own mother, and he was worried about it.
He changed the topic and said: "But it is about mother. It would be too hasty to rely on just a piece of letter paper. Our father and mother have worked hard for us. As children, we should be more cautious."
Zhou Lan nodded gently: "Yeah."
Jiang Changxi said in his heart that he had guessed correctly: "Let me ask, what kind of regulations does your husband have regarding his mother's remarriage?"
It took Zhou Lan a long time to speak, with a hoarse voice: "My grandfather's family has a lot of background, and my mother was married to my father. When my father was alive, my grandparents were very good to my mother, but my mother is soft-tempered and is willing to listen to my grandparents."
Jiang Changxi understood clearly that when Lin married at a low age, his father was in the middle, and his grandparents did not dare to do anything to Lin. With his father gone, the old couple of the Zhou family made things difficult for their daughter-in-law.
When it comes to elders, you can't speak too clearly, but people who understand can understand it as soon as they hear it.
Zhou Lan: "I only regret that I couldn't protect my mother at that time, otherwise why would my mother be like this?"
Jiang Changxi had to be fair: "If your grandfather and uncle are willing to let your mother accompany you, your grandparents can also deal with it. You don't have to blame yourself all the time."
Lin's remarriage was definitely not a one-sided matter. Jiang Changxi used these words to enlighten Zhou Lan. It was the result of the Zhou and Lin families' separate calculations. It was just a pity for the mother and son. This understanding cannot be said, it is difficult to say.
Zhou Lan didn't understand, so he finally said: "After all, I am too weak."
What can Jiang Changxi say? Whenever the father dies, it will not feel good to be a son.
In the heart full of joy, behind the congratulations, there is inevitably a sense of dissatisfaction, and behind that kindness, there must be a last resort.
When Zhou Lan spoke again, his mood had become much more stable: "It would be great if mother could live a happy life. Dead people are not as important as living people."
It's best if you can think about it openly. Jiang Changxi said: "If that's the case, I'll go to Kyoto."
Zhou Lan would not let his wife go to a place like Kyoto by herself and face such a thing: "Let's go together."
Jiang Changxi: "Mom, you are always a mother. Once you get married, you are the mistress of our Zhou family. As a remarried mother, you shouldn't let your uncle become your mother's confidence. You should also have us."
Zhou Lan's eyes were red, and Jiang Changxi said, "Don't you have to take part in the government examination? I'm afraid you won't have enough time. We have to take a long-term view." Otherwise, how can we become a mother's confidence?
Zhou Lan: "I am not only my mother's confidence, but also your confidence." But this takes time, and this realization makes Zhou Lan anxious.
Zhou Lan's brows never relaxed: "How can I rest assured that you, a young lady, are going to Kyoto?"
Jiang Changxi: "There are only a few days to go. My uncle has left us some manpower, and I have Da Li with me."
Followed: "Mom, we must listen to mother personally. I will let mother know that no matter when and where, Zhou Mansion is a place where mother can live. Her son is here in Zhou Mansion."
This matter cannot be replaced by anyone except the couple.
Zhou Lan took Jiang Changxi's hand and didn't know what to say.
Then I heard Jiang Changxi say: "Besides, we also need to prepare mother's dowry."
Zhou Lan was stunned. He had never heard of it. It was so embarrassing to capitalize.
After thinking for a moment: "Yes, since you want your mother to live a good life, you should let your mother have no worries."
The look in my daughter-in-law's eyes is different. How could there be such a kind-hearted woman?
Jiang Changxi: "I will be generous for my husband and watch my mother get married in a glorious way."
No, Zhou Lan has never thought about this, but why not? It’s the same on both sides, so why be afraid.
Zhou Lan: "No matter who my mother marries, I will let people know that it is my mother, Zhou Lan, who is remarrying."
Jiang Changxi nodded, it's better than having people talk about Lin's stepson. That's why he has to stand out.
Even though it is the same relationship, the terms of the relationship are different, which means that the identities of both parties are not equal.
After Zhou Lan calmed down, he said, "It's embarrassing for you."
Jiang Changxi didn't care: "It's going to be difficult anyway."
Zhou Lanxin said, if the mother-in-law gets married and the daughter-in-law takes care of it, can she really make people talk nice about her? How can she not be embarrassed?
She was a woman, but at such a young age, she stood in front of him. If he hadn't been unable to avoid this imperial examination in every matter, he would definitely not have allowed his wife to go to Kyoto on her own.
Jiang Changxi: "We are husband and wife, didn't you also want to go to Kyoto with me after your trial?"
Followed by: "I'm just going to take a stand and see my mother first. Important things must be handled by my husband."
Zhou Lan: "It's only more than a month before the government examination. You should be able to catch up. I won't let you face this alone."
Jiang Changxi: "I think it's really nothing, but I still like it very much to be at my uncle's house with you, and my mother will also be very happy."
Zhou Lan: "When I get to Kyoto, I will ask my father-in-law to find out who the other party is from and what kind of character they are."
Jiang Changxi nodded, then Jiang Changxi and Zhou Lan raised their heads and sighed together. They were obviously young couples who had not yet consummated their marriage, so why did they feel like they were marrying their daughter together.
God knows, they only have the half-baked experience of marrying themselves (marrying a wife).
The young couple began to seriously discuss Lin's marriage.
Regarding the dowry, Zhou Lan said: "Take all the banknotes at home with you."
Then he looked at Jiang Changxi: "I will buy a bigger family property in the future, and I will put it all in your name."
He said very seriously: "Put it all in your dowry."
Jiang Changxi thought carefully before replying to Zhou Lan: "This is really unnecessary."
Zhou Lan was very insistent. If he followed his biological father and his life was short-lived, he could not let his wife and children face a situation like his: "Use."
