Chapter 99                              

The Li family is very lively at this moment.

Because the son-in-law came to the door.

Zhou Mengchen and his mother came to the Li family.

The happiest person about Zhou Mengchen's marriage was not someone else, but Zhou Mengchen's mother. Now Zhou's mother seemed to have forgotten the words she said to Zhou Mengchen about Li Yunzhen. Of course, Zhou Mengchen would not mention them.

The mother and son subconsciously ignored what happened.

At this moment, Zhou's mother was in the inner courtyard of the Li family, talking to Li's mother, Li's Dalang's wife, Li's Erlang's newlywed wife Gu, Li Yunzhen, and a bunch of women.

Zhou's mother laughed loudly and said, "My family has a simple population. After Yunzhen passes by, she will never treat her badly. Please rest assured that our family is so close that you can see her at any time when you think about it in the future."

Li's mother also smiled and said, "Your Zhou family is also an old family in Wuchang, and my family is relieved to be in peace with my family. I know that the child will not be wronged."

Zhou's mother said to Li Yunzhen: "Come here."

Li Yunzhen came to Zhou's mother shyly and said, "Auntie."

Zhou's mother looked at Li Yunzhen with a smile. Li Yunzhen was not a stunning figure. However, she was also a first-class beauty. She had a good figure and looked. In addition, her family background was also good. Zhou's mother was very satisfied. She took off a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Li Yunzhen, saying, "This is not a valuable thing, but it is something passed down from generation to generation by the Zhou family. She passed it to her daughter-in-law and not her daughter, just for a thought. I'll give it to you today."

Li Yunzhen blushed immediately, and she was not allowed to accept it, nor was she not allowed to accept it. She could only look at her mother helplessly.

After seeing this, Li's mother felt sad and happy.

The sadness is because my daughter is not my own anymore, but someone else's daughter-in-law. I am happy that Li Yunzhen married, although I can't say it's excellent or bad. It's just a pity that my son-in-law is not a scholar.

Li's mother said, "You just go ahead."

Li Yunzhen then took it shyly and said, "Thank you, aunt." He took the bracelet with both hands.

Zhou's mother said, "Is she still called her aunt?"

Li Yunzhen was even more shy, as if she had a layer of red paint on her face, and said in a thin voice as thin as a mosquito, "Mother."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air suddenly filled with cheerful laughter.

The sound came from the backyard to the front yard.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen sat opposite his two brothers in the front yard.

Li Yanwen was not at home and was said to have been on the clinic. In fact, Li Yanwen was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Mengchen.

There was nothing else, the Wang family and Zhou Mengchen bet on Li Yunzhen. This incident severely offended Li Yanwen. Li Yanwen not only hated the Wang family, but also had no good feelings for Zhou Mengchen.

As a father, it is strange that he can give his daughter a good look.

But Li Yanwen is powerless to do anything about this ending.

There were great figures such as governors and Fengcheng Hou as endorses. Li Yanwen was willing or unwilling to change the ending, which made Li Yanwen even more uncomfortable. So when the Zhou family came to visit, Li Yanwen took advantage of the excuse to avoid it.

Therefore, only the two brothers of the Li family came to receive Zhou Mengchen.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen was shocked.

That's it after he just reported his name.

Because before, neighbors all called Li brothers, Li family Dalang and Li family Erlang, but they didn't pay attention to what they specifically called. The same is true for Zhou Mengchen. Neighbors called Zhou Mengchen, all of them were from Zhou's boys, or from the Zhou family in the Bell and Drum Tower.

Only then did Zhou Mengchen realize that his two elder brother-in-law, one was Li Guozhen and the other was Li Shizhen.

This made Zhou Mengchen look at Erlang of the Li family very differently. Is this Li Shizhen, who has been famous in history?

This was Li Shizhen. Zhou Mengchen felt a little confused for a moment. He had never thought of having close contact with such a historical celebrity.

Li Shizhen looked at Zhou Mengchen with a strange look at him. She looked at her dress all over her body and said, "Brother Zhou, is there anything wrong with me wearing today?"

Zhou Mengchen shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no. It's very appropriate."

"Okay." Li Guozhen said, "Talk the serious business." Li Guozhen said to Zhou Mengchen, "Brother Zhou, I have an emergency today. My father is temporarily on the clinic, so we can only discuss the marriage with you."

Zhou Mengchen may not have mastered Li Yanwen's thoughts, but now he doesn't know it and says, "The doctor's parents' hearts are naturally at stake in life. Zhou only admires him and never has any resentment. The marriage is not allowed to be discussed, as long as the two of them speak, Zhou will do everything."

Li Guozhen naturally would not speak loudly, so she discussed it all according to the original rules.

Today, Zhou Mengchen's family property is thousands of taels, coupled with the relationship between Fengcheng Mansion, the relationship between the King of Chu Mansion, and even the reputation of making a hit on the Yellow Crane Tower, so that someone in Jiangnan has written letters to Zhou Mengchen.

Although most of the letters refute the heliocentric theory, it also proves that Zhou Mengchen's reputation is no longer bound by Huguang Province, and can be widely known. In addition to not being from the imperial examination, he is a complete newcomer of Shilin and a diamond king.

As long as the Li family follows the usual rules of Wuchang, Zhou Mengchen will agree.

It's time to confirm the wedding time soon.

Li Guozhen mentioned it for a while and said, "It's August this year. Avoid the heat."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen knew that this time was not wrong. In ancient times, marriage was complicated, and the more wealthy there were, the more this was the case. Take Li Shizhen's marriage for example. It took only half a year from last year to this year to complete the engagement to getting married. Now it is April. From April to August, there are only four months. And it is the hottest dog days, so it cannot be wrong, but Zhou Mengchen cannot wait. He said, "Can you wait a little earlier?"

The reason why Zhou Mengchen couldn't wait was not that he was in a hurry to get married.

But Zhou Mengchen estimated that the envoy who issued an edict to summon him to Beijing was already on the way.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen probably might have made mistakes. But Zhou Mengchen also had to leave some allowance. Perhaps Zhou Mengchen had thought too much, and if this did not attract the emperor's attention, Zhou Mengchen could only find a way to make some more noise.

Li Guozhen didn't think much and said, "What does Brother Zhou mean?"

Zhou Mengchen pondered for a moment and said, "Is it June?"

Li Guozhen glanced at Li Shizhen. Li Shizhen did not say anything, and he said, "Okay."

Then both sides used this time node to arrange the affairs. The arrangements had just been made here. But when they heard a noise outside, they saw Zhou Dazhuang coming in and stammered: "Saint-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zhou Mengchen immediately stood up and said, "But the imperial edict has arrived?"

Zhou Dazhuang nodded quickly.

Zhou Mengchen immediately stood up and bowed to Li Guozhen and said, "If you have something to do at home, you will take your leave first."

Li Guozhen said, "Please give me some advice."

Zhou Mengchen was not polite and left immediately.

Li Guozhen looked at Zhou Mengchen's figure and suddenly said, "The third sister, this husband, is not an ordinary person."

Li Shizhen said: "I have always believed in the third sister's vision."

Zhou Mengchen hurriedly returned home.

There are already many people in the family.

But the county government office, government office, and even the provincial people are here.

After all, people from Beijing would not find Zhou Mengchen's home directly, but would first find the governor's office and look downwards layer by layer. County Magistrate Huang even arrived in person. When he saw Zhou Mengchen, he immediately said, "Hurry, hurry, don't let the father-in-law in the palace wait for a long time."

Zhou Mengchen lifted his hem and strode towards the main hall. He felt that his steps were light, which revealed his mood.

As soon as Zhou Mengchen entered the main hall, he saw a teenage father-in-law sitting on the upper head. Cheng Dazhen, Liu Xiushui accompanied him on the side. Zhou Mengchen said, "The subordinate has met his father-in-law, but I don't know what the father-in-law calls him?"

The young master said, "Our Tengxiang, Eunuch Huang is my godfather. Lord Zhou doesn't have to worry."

Tengxiang said that Eunuch Huang was the first to say that he and Zhou Mengchen were their own people.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Thank you for your hard work," while saying that, he took out a ingot of silver, which was about fifty taels. This was just given to Zhou Mengchen by the magistrate Huang County. The eunuch came out to pass the order, and they all had hard money. This is a convention.

Eunuch Teng didn't see him either. After weighing it, he stuffed it into his sleeve and said, "Eunuch Huang recommended Lord Zhou in front of the saint. However, Lord Zhou must remember this kind of love."

Zhou Mengchen said: "That's natural."

Eunuch Teng said, "Prepare the incense table and receive the order."

After a moment, the arrangement was made.

But in the yard of the Zhou family, there was a table of incense to the north and a candle was lit. The wife of Teng stood facing south, opened the scroll of the imperial edict, read loudly in a special tone in the eunuch's duck voice, "The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: Zhou Mengchen, Wuchang, has profound knowledge, noble character, proficient in step calculation, and deduction and food. No one in the world is right. How can he be a talented person from heaven be able to stay away from his post? Now Your Majesty clearly sees Wanli, specially summoned Zhou Mengchen to the capital to meet the saint, and imperial edict."

Zhou Mengchen knelt down to the north, listened carefully, and remembered every word in his heart. This imperial edict was something Zhou Mengchen dreamed of. It paved the way to Beijing and allowed him to finally appear on the big stage of Beijing.

However, it is somewhat out of place.

It came too fast.

Zhou Mengchen originally wanted to go to Beijing after getting married.

It was for both Li Yunzhen and Zhou's mother.

Zhou Mengchen's future is uncertain when he goes to the capital. Although Zhou Mengchen is very confident in making a world in Beijing, no one knows whether it will be smooth sailing. Therefore, Zhou Mengchen cannot take his mother there.

But Zhou’s mother had only one son, Zhou Mengchen, and Zhou Mengchen went to Beijing. Who would she ask for her to take care of?

If Zhou Mengchen gets married, this is not a problem. Naturally, Li Yunzhen will take care of him. Otherwise, even if Zhou Mengchen goes to Beijing, he will not be at ease.
