At the Zhou family's residence, Zhou Yu personally patted his younger brother on the shoulder, his eyes touching the red bloodshot eyes of his younger brother, and his elder brother felt distressed, "I've lost weight."

Zhou Lin felt a sore nose. His eldest brother and sister-in-law were not at home, so he had to do everything by himself. Although Brother Qin was by his side, he could only enlighten him. Brother Qin could not help him with the orphanage matter.

Since discovering the problems in the orphanage, Zhou Lin has not had a good and peaceful sleep. He endured his sore nose and tried his best to smile, "I will recover if I eat more."

Zhou Yu looked at his younger brother and said in a very serious tone, "Although my shoulders are thin, I can still bear the burden. I am very pleased."

Zhou Lin couldn't help but his eyes turned redder. He raised his chin slightly and tried to resist the sourness in his nose.

Zilu hugged his uncle's thigh, "Uncle, are you going to cry?"

Zhou Lin, "......"

His hands were itchy and wanted to hit someone, but this nephew couldn't have it anymore.

Yang Xi reached out and pinched her youngest son's ears, warning him to stop. Zilu covered his ears and hid behind his mother.

Zhou Lin lost all emotion when his little nephew made a fuss about him, "I even brought a gift back."

Yang Xi and his wife also received gifts. Yang Xi received a set of fans with the theme of the four seasons, Zhou Yu received a box of good tea, Qin Bing received a pair of ornaments for getting married, and the two children received some exquisite toys.

Yang Xi happily touched the round fan, which was made of precious silk tapestry. This set of round fans is worth a lot of money, "It cost me a lot."

Zhou Lin's family is rich, Xixuan is very generous to his relatives, and he really has no shortage of money and good things.

Zhou Lin pointed to the unopened box and said, "I ordered a set of solar term round fans for my little sister as a dowry. Even if I order for my little sister, I won't leave my sister-in-law behind. My sister-in-law has worked hard these years."

Yang Xi didn't think it was hard. Her children were all sensible. She wanted to see the solar term round fans, so she stretched out her hand to open the box and her eyes couldn't see enough. She counted incorrectly and said, "The number is low."

Zhou Lin explained, "The fans are very slow to make. I couldn't wait any longer, so I brought the finished ones back first."

Then Zhou Lin said some light things, but did not talk about heavy things.

Zhou Yu and his wife didn't force the younger brother to tell them anything. They didn't ask anything if the younger brother didn't tell them. They just needed to tell the younger brother that they relied on him.

After dinner, Zhou Lin went back to the courtyard to rest. That night, Zhou Lin asked a lot about Shen Baishu. Before Zhou Yu and his wife could ask if there was a girl they liked, Zhou Lin ran away.

The most tiring thing about Zhou Lin's trip this time was his heart. When he got home, he was finally able to sleep peacefully. He didn't wake up until breakfast the next day. In the morning, Zhou Lin got up lazily.

After lunch, Zhou Lin took care of himself carefully before going out to visit Shanghe Village. He had been thinking about it since he received the news that Shanghe Village was promoted to a town.

Now that the land has been surveyed, the land has been re-planned in the past few days, and the homesteads have been replaced. There are too many homesteads and there are not enough allocations. I was well-informed and decided on the homestead early.

Among them is the Geng family. After all, it is inconvenient to live in a big yard. Those with a stronger foundation want to move out. Geng Jue will not move. It can be said that this house will eventually belong to Geng Jue.

Geng Jing was the first to want to move. He moved out of a common room, and then Guo and Xiao also wanted to move.

Zhou Lin was walking in the village, no, it should be called a town now, and the most common thing he saw along the way was that houses were being built everywhere.

Wu Shan was helping Zhao Chang build his house. He saw Zhou Lin at a glance and said, "You are back. Do you have time for a drink?"

Zhou Lin responded and asked, "Brother Wu also approved the homestead site?"

Wu Shan, "I just built a new house last year. Your eldest brother asked me to build this house. He said that your eldest brother's friends were coming to settle down and asked me to build it bigger."

Zhou Lin had never heard his eldest brother say it, but he didn't have many friends who could be recognized by his eldest brother, so he quickly picked out the person's name, "I haven't congratulated Brother Wu on becoming a grandfather."

His sister-in-law told him yesterday.

Wu Shan laughed and said, "When the baby is born, I'll treat you to a full moon wine."

Zhou Lin was in a daze. The Wu family had nothing when they followed them south.

Yes, the Wu family has undergone earth-shaking changes. The eldest son and the second son became minor logistics officers in the barracks last year. Although they are the lowest minor officials, they are still officials, not to mention the two brothers Wu San and Wu Fourth.

These two brothers are very lucky. Now they have no shortage of battles to fight, especially this time they have achieved a lot of military exploits and I heard they have been promoted again.

Zhou Lin listened to Wu Shan talk about the changes in Shanghe Village, but his thoughts were diverging. Everyone he knew had changed a lot, but it was really good.

Since Zhou Lin came back, Yang Xi felt as if time had sped up. He didn't feel like he was getting through it, and it was all in one day.

That day, Yang Xi received an urgent letter from Xixuan. The letter said that the Li brothers and sisters had returned to Jingzhou safely. Fortunately, Xiao Ma followed them and escorted them on the way back, and they experienced five waves of robberies and killings in total.

Although they betrayed the Min family in Huizhou, Xiao Ma was also injured, and this time the injury was not serious. Fortunately, the home's medicine was effective, and Xiao Ma is currently staying in Jingzhou to recuperate.

Along with the letter returned to Ruizhou, there was also a transfer order. The first batch of students in the military academy took exams in advance, and outstanding students had the opportunity to become Xixuan's guards.

Yang Xixuan's letter also said that the Shen family had already set off to propose marriage. The focus of the letter was that after Xixuan waited for Zhou Ran to get married, he invited Yang Xi and his wife to Jingzhou to propose marriage.

After Yang Xi and his wife read the letter, Yang Xi said: "Xixuan's marriage is complicated. At least we can get married next spring. Xixuan, the elder brother, doesn't want to delay the younger sister's marriage."

This means that he has his little sister in his heart. It doesn't matter that Xixuan is a man but a year and a half later. Xixuan is concerned about his little sister's age.

Zhou Yu was deeply touched, "Well, Xixuan has done well in these years."

Yang Xi thought about it in her mind, "My little sister's dowry has been purchased. I've also hired an embroiderer for her wedding dress. What's missing?"

Zhou Yu memorized his younger sister's dowry and shook his head, "There's nothing missing."

The couple bought Shili Hongzhuang, not counting the extra makeup Xixuan prepared.

Yang Xi estimated the date, "The Shen family is in a hurry to get married. I think it will come soon. I will ask Sun Liu to prepare it first."

Zhou Yu, "Okay."

Now that Zhou Ran has chosen Shen Baishu, word has spread from Jiaozhou, making many people surprised that Zhou Ran would choose a doctor from a simple family background.

Although they knew that Zhou Ran was studying medicine, at first some people despised Zhou Ran as a good official lady studying medicine. Later, the women's medical center brought good reputation and money to Zhou Ran. In addition, the benefits represented by Zhou Ran were so good that the thoughtful family began to

Zhou Ran never gave up.

Fortunately, Zhou Ran has chosen a doctor, and there is someone who is willing to take action against the Shen family, but she was frightened by Yang Xixuan's statement before she took action.

Yang Xixuan wants to protect those who cannot be protected. Now Yang Xixuan has this confidence. The power of the eight states is quickly concentrated and gathered. Hengzhou and Fuzhou have followed the footsteps of Jiaozhou. Yang Xixuan is not in the two states, but the popularity of the people is

extremely high.

It's all because Yang Xixuan brought real benefits to the people, reducing taxes, returning hidden fields, distributing relief grains and grain seeds, punishing bullies and corrupt officials, liquidating the crimes of various families, etc.

Yang Xixuan has received many Wanmin Umbrellas.

The other forces in the south did not see Yang Xixuan's excitement, but became more and more frightened as they watched. Yang Xixuan was gathering power too quickly. They all said that it was easy to conquer territory but difficult to govern. This was not true for Yang Xixuan.

The Li family in Jingzhou could see clearly that Yang Xixuan had the two states of Rui and De as a solid foundation. Yang Xixuan personally built Dezhou. This son had experience, military power and no lack of means, so he quickly gathered power.

The main residence of the Li family in Jingzhou, Xiao Ma is a distinguished guest of the Li family, but Xiao Ma only wants to return to his master.

Young Master Li Li Yongyan really cared about Xiao Ma. After the doctor checked Xiao Ma's wounds, he asked, "Where did you learn this skill?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Not only was Xiaoma brave and resourceful, he was also knowledgeable. When he first met Xiaoma, he thought he was a reckless man with good martial arts skills. He couldn't blame him. Xiaoma had the image of a reckless man.
