The village where the Zhou family lives passes through two slightly prosperous small towns along the way from Baoding Prefecture.
Zhou Lan's Zhuangzi is located between the village where the tribe lives and the small town.
The farm that Zhou Peng bought was right on the edge of the town. When they arrived at the farm, Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi stood on the roadside and said goodbye to their fellow clansmen.
The old clan leader earnestly explained: "If you are missing something or have something happen, just go to the village and look for our clan members."
Zhou Lan saluted the old patriarch and said, "Young man is here to settle down. You must not trouble the clan members and the Seventh Master."
Jiang Changxi saluted happily: "When grandson-in-law has finished cleaning up, I will invite Grandpa Seventh to come over here and sit with all the relatives."
The old patriarch nodded. He was a sensible child and his manners were not bad.
Although the eldest son of the second family of the Zhou family is gone, the child seems to be able to support the family business. This child's uncle's family is very capable, and I will have to take care of him more in the future.
What's more, when the eldest son of the Zhou family was here, he bought a sacrificial field for the clan. This is the virtue that the eldest son of the Zhou family left to his children.
For this reason, the descendants of the Zhou family have to take care of the child Zhou Lan.
The old patriarch: "Let's settle down first, the rest is just trivial matters."
Several aunts from the clan who had gone over to have the wedding banquet said, "Second wife, you're welcome. We'll come over to warm the house for you and your wife. It's getting late now, so we won't disturb you anymore."
Jiang Changxi's face turned red with embarrassment: "Thank you, aunties, for the compliment."
The women sat on the ox cart and the mule cart and returned to the village smiling.
Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi stood beside the carriage and watched the tribesmen walk away.
This etiquette alone made the Zhou family understand that even though they were defeated, they were different from them.
If Erlang's father hadn't died, how could he have fallen to such a state?
Several clan aunts couldn't help but chatter: "The second roommate is such a bad thing, and the child who is only a teenager is kicked out."
Some people also said: "No matter what, they still have Zhuangzi, and their lives are much better than ours."
That's true. In the Zhou family, the second wife got most of the family wealth, but for these clan relatives, the Zhuangzi in the hands of Erlang and his wife are family assets that they dare not even think about.
Looking at the appearance of the second wife of the Zhou family, no matter how much wealth the family has, it cannot help people like them.
But it was different for Erlang and his wife. They lived close by and if there was a real dilemma, it was possible to help them out.
Otherwise, the tribe's spitting stars can drown them.
If they don't make friends with such people, they would be fools.
After the tribesmen had gone far away, Zhou Lan asked the young daughter-in-law beside him: "If you want to take a carriage to Zhuangzi, why don't you come with me for a walk?"
Jiang Changxi was tired from riding in the car, so she took Zhou Lan's hand and said, "Then let's take a walk and see our village."
Dafu next to him lowered his head. When the girl was in the house, she was so reserved and dignified. How come she changed after only one day of marriage?
I was flirting with my uncle, and I didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
Zhou Lan's ears turned red when someone grabbed his hand, but he didn't let go of Jiang Changxi's hand and just answered with one word: "Okay."
The young couple walked hand in hand into the village, looking at the surrounding scenery leisurely.
Dafu looked at his lady's embroidered shoes and then looked at the shoes on his own feet. He thought to himself, "Uncles and grandma would be embarrassed if outsiders saw them holding hands," so he decisively got on the carriage.
The lady has shoes that can be changed, but she doesn’t know where her things are stored yet, so she’d better be careful.
Fortunately, I saw someone running towards me from afar.
Shunfeng came over and saluted Zhou Lan and Jiang Changxi: "Uncle, you have brought grandma back."
Then he saluted Jiang Changxi: "Little Shunfeng is our uncle's long-term follower. Shunfeng pays homage to grandma."
This boy was articulate and pleasant-looking. Jiang Changxi touched him, but he didn't have a purse with him. How could he reward him?
Dafu turned around and handed over the purse. Jiang Changxi said seriously: "Get up. It will be hard to serve your uncle from now on."
Shunfeng took the reward from the eldest grandma with his smiling hands: "Thank you for the reward, eldest grandma. I will definitely serve you attentively."
Then he looked at his master and said to himself, the eldest grandma is young and experienced in doing things. She is even more considerate than the second wife of the old house.
Zhou Lanxin said that this daughter-in-law is young and may be able to hold up the scene and be presentable. Didn't you see that she made Shunfeng stunned for a while?
Zhou Lan: "Has everything been sorted out at Zhuangzi? Don't wrong your eldest grandma."
Shunfeng: "Don't worry, uncle, everything has been tidied up in the village. The courtyards of the uncle and grandma are all arranged properly. The little people are waiting on the village to pay homage to the uncle and grandma. The little man secretly ran over to the uncle and grandma.
The one who leads the way."
Then he said to Jiang Changxi: "Grandma's dowry arrived first, and Miss Dali was there to help gather it. Miss Dali went to the stove, and her skills were so good that she impressed all the cooks in our village.
.”
Dafu took a deep breath, this boy was trying to please their girl, he was much smarter than him, he would have to work harder in the future.
No wonder I didn't find any of my friends when I was in the Zhou Mansion. They were all here.
Jiang Changxi was also happy when he heard the news about his people. He was quite satisfied with Shunfeng.
When I walked in with Zhou Lan, I knew that Zhuangzi was very big, and I was a little scared, fearing something might happen.
Jiang Changxi felt really at ease knowing that Italy was here.
This girl has no other abilities but a lot of strength. When he was at home, his father found someone to teach this girl for two years.
So this girl follows him everywhere, so his parents can rest assured. With this girl here, outsiders can't easily bully them.
As for servants, the laws these days are quite strict and the hierarchy is very clear.
Those who don't force have no way to go and can't survive. The safety of the family owner is guaranteed.
Zhou Lan pulled Jiang Changxi and walked quickly into Zhuangzi: "In a few days, I will take you to see Zhuangzi. Although it is a bit remote, the scenery is pleasant. I have been keeping my filial piety here for three years. What is there in Zhuangzi?"
There’s nothing missing, it’s very convenient for us to live in.”
Jiang Changxi nodded. It turned out that he had stayed here for three years.
Zhou Lan was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be scared when she first arrived in a place, so she held Jiang Changxi's hand from beginning to end and did not let go. At this time, it was definitely an outrageous behavior.
Only Dafu lowered his head, lest others see him.
Chang Sui Shunfeng was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, whatever his uncle did was right.
Let Jiang Changxi say that Zhuangzi is so big that you want to ride in a carriage, and you are tired all the way in.
Zhou Lan used this time to explain some things to Jiang Changxi: "When my father died, I didn't know anything. During the three years of observing filial piety, my grandfather even resigned as his husband. I had nothing to do, so I learned to do some mundane tasks.
"
Jiang Changxi said in his heart that it is better to be knowledgeable about everything in the world than to just let it go to waste: "You are so capable, you can even help manage Zhuangzi."
Zhou Lan blushed a little when she was praised. Her daughter-in-law is a lady of the family, so she may not know what the general affairs are.
Pointing to the land around him: "Just don't think I have any future, this is all cultivated land in our village."
Jiang Changxi became even more satisfied. He raised his eyes and looked around: "Are they all there?"
