Chapter 1109 Xuanruitang
Facing Zhou Wenjun's question, Zhou Xuejun's smile did not change: "I heard that this house was already arranged as soon as we got it. The furniture in the house was ready-made. Especially the main courtyard and the large courtyard behind the main courtyard, the furniture inside was all complete. Unlike the furniture sets in other places in the house, they were all newly built. There is a plaque in the main hall of the backyard! The top was written by the emperor. Officials from this dynasty gave the house. Since the emperor ascended the throne, no one has obtained the plaque. My father said that the plaque was very precious. He was afraid that it would be damaged by wind and rain, so he took it down and temporarily stored it in the main hall. When it was officially opened in the future, he would hang the plaque back."
Zhou Wenjun was shocked and puzzled: "Is that so? That's really a great emperor's kindness. I just don't know... what hall name is written on the plaque with the emperor's pen?"
Zhou Xuejun smiled: "It's the three words 'Xuanruitang'."
Zhou Wenjun's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down: "It sounds like a yard prepared for the elderly in the family. But if you four rooms are separated, when will Xuanruitang welcome the master?"
Zhou Xuejun smiled but said nothing. Zhou Wenjun didn't get any answer, but seemed to have already got the answer, and his face became much ugly.
Haitang and Wu Qiong were discussing gossiping, but they had already stopped, and they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this. Wu Qiong seemed to understand something, and looked worried, but he stopped talking. Haitang soon started another topic: "This yard is so big! It's more than three times larger than my yard, but only Sister Xuejun lives alone, that's so comfortable!"
Zhou Xuejun turned around and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, even if my maid is added, even the palace servants and nanny who served me in the palace lived in together, each person had a room. However, the yard is so big and there are few people living there. It's okay during the day, but it's a little deserted at night. Besides, although I live in this yard comfortably, I don't know how long I can live here. It's a pity."
After saying that, she turned to her cousin and said, "Sister, why don't you stay with me for two days, right? This house is so big. In addition to the garden and horse farm, our West Road also has two or three yards behind it. In addition to the place where my brother lives, there are five or six yards on the East Road. Although it is not as spacious as the main courtyard, there are also three main rooms with east and west wing rooms and downtown rooms. With such a big place, let alone our family only has four people, even if we have more forty people, the male, female and maids in the family are more than enough to live in. If you stay, you won't have to worry about not having a place to live, and there will be too many empty yards! If you think the place is deserted, the east and west wing rooms in my yard are still empty, so why don't you stay and talk to me?"
Zhou Wenjun looked at her cousin deeply: "As such a big person, why do you still love clingy like you were when you were a child? Forget it, it's rare for you to leave the palace. This is a new house, so I will stay with you for two days."
Zhou Xuejun was immediately happy: "That's great! I have a lot to say to you!"
Wu Qiong smiled and said, "It can be seen that you are a family of sisters. If you have any whispers, you will only talk to your sisters."
Zhou Xuejun also kissed her hand warmly and warmly: "Good sister, don't be upset. I feel embarrassed to tell you something, just because I'm afraid you will laugh at me. My eldest sister has been used to the jokes I made since I was a child, so I'm naturally not afraid to let her know. The palace rules are strict, and I always follow people around me. Sometimes I have awkward to make trouble with the emperor, and I really don't dare to tell people."
Wu Qiong said angrily: "What's wrong with this? If the emperor bullies you, just talk to the Empress Dowager, are you afraid that she will make you wronged?"
Zhou Xuejun blushed and lowered her head: "The Empress Dowager of the Great Emperor will naturally not let me suffer grievances, but why should I be embarrassed to speak..." The Empress Dowager is an elder of the Zhou family's blood relationship, but in name it is also the grandmother of the Xinjun.
Wu Qiong understood in his heart, smiled and said nothing more, but called Haitang, and went to appreciate the potted plants of the flowers and trees in the yard, allowing the Zhou sisters to chat there, but in fact they were always exchanging winks, and I don’t know what they had communicated.
Wu Qiong had doubts in his heart, but he would not be troublesome. She grew up in the palace and has been living under someone else for many years. She has long been used to not finding the root cause when encountering problems.
As for Haitang, it is naturally clear that there is a secret between the Zhou sisters, but why should she ask? This is the business of the Zhou family. As long as their family stands firmly, there is no need to care too much about her, an outsider.
Haitang is determined to be a salted fish, but unfortunately, there is an older brother, Haijiao, which is never a material to lie flat.
After returning from the banquet at the four-bedroom house in Zhou's family, he told his younger sister a secret that night: "If Duke Zhenguo is not good, the new king will probably let Duke Zhenguo's wife go to Beijing to take care of her. The general's house on Thursday was spacious enough, and there was a large courtyard suitable for Duke Zhenguo's wife to live in and enjoy her old age."
The three words "Xuanruitang" immediately appeared in Haitang's mind, and he hurriedly said, "Has General Thursday separated from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? Since he had separated, how could he support the Duke of Zhenguo's wife at home?" General Thursday was not the parent-child of Duke of Zhenguo and his wife, but the adopted nephew of the neighbor! Even if the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo wants to go to Beijing to retire, she should still live in a parent-child mansion, right?
Haijiao sighed, "Split up is the decision of the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife. He wants to separate the General's house on Thursday and establish a household in the capital alone, just like the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion. In the future, even if the Zhou family still holds the power of the northwest border army, the General's house on Thursday will not be suspicious and disobedient. But this was the arrangement after the death of Duke of Zhenguo. Now he is still alive, but he is more ill, so the Duke of Zhenguo has not yet separated. The General on Thursday has now been given a house by the new king, and in name, this house is also owned by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If the Duke of Zhenguo's wife enters the capital, she will naturally have to move in."
The Duke of Zhenguo was stationed in the northwest, and only four generals entered the capital. If the Duke of Zhenguo really went to Beijing to take care of his old age, where else could he go besides living in the house given by the Fourth General? You can't live in the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, right? Although Cheng'en Hou was the legitimate brother of the Empress Dowager and Duke Zhenguo, he had already set up a new branch and opened one. After the three families of Zhou's family entered Beijing, they all bought a separate house and moved out of the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion, let alone the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo? Of course, she could buy a house separately, but the general's mansion was so spacious on Thursday, but his mother refused to move in. She didn't know what kind of gossip would be heard outside. The wife of Duke Zhenguo has a good relationship with her adopted son, so she should not have slapped General Zhou Xi in the face like this.
In short, when the new king gave him a house, he had already made up his mind and would arrange for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to go to Beijing to take care of her old age in the future.
After two lifetimes, the Zhou family's situation in this life is obviously hundreds of times stronger than the previous life, but the Duke of Zhenguo still has to go to Beijing for a long time. The things in this world are really unpredictable.

Haijiao sighed lowly and said, "No matter what, the wife of Duke Zhenguo is healthy, long-lived, and wise and wise. If she can live in Beijing for a long time, it will be more beneficial to the Zhou family in Beijing than to harm it. Moreover, she is old and if she wants to enter Beijing, she can bring her grandchildren to be filial to her. Over time, the new king cannot watch the queen's brothers in Beijing and must arrange a decent position. In this way, more children of the Zhou family will be able to serve in Beijing. It is also a good thing for the queen of the Zhou family."
The Duke of Zhenguo herself might have to endure the pain of leaving her hometown, but in general, she went to Beijing to take care of her elderly care is more beneficial to the Zhou family. The Zhou family was so down and out in the previous life that she could support her family’s return, not to mention that the Zhou family is still prosperous in this life?
There was the Empress Dowager in the palace, the Zhou family's children, grandchildren and grandson-in-law who served in the capital, and the granddaughter who would enter the palace several years later, the Duke of Zhenguo would never be sad in his life in the capital. The future of the Zhou family will be smoother and brighter than in the previous life.
