LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 96 - Xuemei
Zhou Shuren recalled carefully, “Is there any?”
Zhulan was balanced, not because she was cold-blooded, she didn’t remember Zhou Shuren, “Our eldest daughter, Zhou Xuemei!”
Zhou Shuren was dumbfounded and patted his head, “If you don’t mention her, I really forgot about her.”
Zhulan laughed, “I don’t blame you for forgetting her. Except for the children at home who just wore Laishun, I thought about it once. If I think about it again, it’s a gift from Jiangnan. I usually don’t think about it at all.”
Zhou Shuren frowned, “It was not easy for a married woman to return to her parents’ home in ancient times. In my memory, Xuemei came back last time in July.”
Zhulan felt very guilty, she and Zhou Shuren took over the husband and wife, but forgot the eldest daughter of the couple, “Fortunately, Xuemei’s mother-in-law is sensible, and Xuemei’s mother-in-law has the right to choose her husband’s family. The husband is the youngest son of the Jiang family, and he is a little bit more afflicted, Xuemei has never been sparred, and life is not bad.”
Otherwise, if things really go bad, the couple will forget about it again, and they will feel uneasy.
Zhou Shuren recalled: “In my memory, the eldest son-in-law Jiang Sheng was admitted to Tongsheng only last year, and he has not passed the exam this year. He is twenty-two this year, three years older than Xuemei, and 190% of his relatives.”
Zhu Lan nodded, “Well, it’s twenty-two. In my original memory, Jiang Sheng was kind to Xuemei.”
Zhou Shuren knocked on the hand with the book, “Jiang Sheng’s talent is okay in Yuan Shi’s memory, but unfortunately his family is not good enough. He doesn’t read enough, and there is no good teacher. If there is no book from the Zhou family, Jiang Sheng will be struggling to take the exam.”
Zhulan sighed, Jiang Sheng was the representative of the poor family, “Jiang’s family has few relatives in Wangjia Village for several generations, and there is no clan, and they can only rely on themselves. When Jiang Sheng got married late, he fell in love with Xuemei early. Zhou Shuren and the Zhou family have books, otherwise they wouldn’t have to wait until twenty to get married.”
Jiang Sheng’s parents really worry about everything for their son!
Who made it impossible for the ancients to have no compulsory education, it is difficult for poor students to study, and their educational level is limited, unlike the children of aristocratic families who have no shortage of resources since childhood. It is not uncommon for scholars in their teens to be talented, but those in their twenties are geniuses.
Zhou Shuren saw that Zhulan was distracted again, and shook the book to attract Zhulan’s attention: “My in-laws do have foresight, but it is difficult to test for talents according to the current situation. The hope of the whole Jiang family is on Jiang Sheng, and it costs a lot a year. There are also many sons in the Jiang family, and the brothers above Jiang Sheng can’t wait for him to fall off the list twice. It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Knowing that Zhou Shuren’s analysis was correct, Zhulan sighed, thinking of the jewelry Zhou Shuren brought back to a few girls, she sat up and said, “You forgot to bring jewelry for the eldest girl last time, and I also gave jewelry to the fan just thinking about it. Forget, you see, my granddaughter is over a year old, so give the rest of the set of jewelry to my granddaughter!”
Zhou Shuren was a little unnatural, he really forgot the eldest girl, “The eldest girl must have been ridiculed by several sisters-in-law in Jiang’s house. I remember that there were silver earrings in the house last time, and you found a pair together. Give it to the eldest girl, this year’s New Year’s ceremony is a little thicker, in addition to giving the eldest girl and the Jiang family more practical ones.”
Zhu Lan thought about it, “The eldest girl and her in-laws eat, Jiang’s family has little land for Jiang Sheng to study, so she must be reluctant to eat and wear, buy more pork and add more rice, so that you can have a good meal during the Chinese New Year. The daughter and the child can also eat more, and the day after tomorrow, let the second child inform Xuemei about the engagement, so let’s send it over by the way.”
Other Zhulan didn’t dare to take more. She only had the memory of her original body, and she hadn’t met her son-in-law yet. Anyway, she believed in her own eyes, at least when she saw it in person, she was thinking about how to make up for it.
Zhou Shuren, “Yes.”
