Chapter 127

Eating mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival is a tradition, but ice-skin mooncakes are more like a snack. So after knowing that they can book, many people paid a deposit without hesitation. In the future, the daily income will be quite considerable if they are just this snack shop.

The happiest thing in life is to wake up naturally when you sleep, count the money until your hands cramp.

It's really a true saying.

Zhou thought the eldest daughter's "money-lovers" look a little funny.

In fact, they live in Zhou Mansion now, and the food and clothing cost are arranged by Cheng, and there is basically no place to use money. The Zhou family has not moved the dowry left by her biological mother back then, and now it has been returned to her. Simply put, they are not short of money at all now.

She told her daughter all this, but Ji Wan likes to make money. After all, who would think that the money is too much?

"Mom, didn't you say that we will always move out in the future. The gold, silver and jewelry, fields and farms given by the emperor cannot be sold or transferred to others. I know you have kept all these for me to do a dowry in the future. The Duke of Anguo Mansion is a noble family, and I am a high-married man, so you want to prepare more dowry for me. Are you planning to give most of the ones left to you by my grandmother?"

Zhou didn't say anything, she really planned that way.

Ji Wan sighed and said seriously: "Mom, there are enough of what the emperor gave me, plus the hot pot restaurant, dim sum shop and workshop. I don't need you to give me a dowry. You should give Arong and Aheng what my grandmother left you, and you have to keep some of it yourself."

If her mother hadn't had a business mind, she would have planned to leave all the shops to her mother. Her father died early and her mother had no support. In the future, she would have to rely on herself to leave the Zhou family. If her younger brother became an adult and had a promising future, she would not worry. Now Ah Heng is still a child and needs to raise her mother, so there are more places to use money in the future.

In fact, if possible, Ji Wan hopes that her mother can find a companion.

She is still young, a woman in her early thirties, still beautiful and has a huge family to rely on, so she can remarry.

Zhou did not know the eldest daughter's thoughts and said, "You have earned the gifts from the emperor. But you three are my children. No matter whether you marry, I should give them a bowl of water. I can't be short of what should be given to you. As for me, you don't need to worry. At the beginning, the Zhou family actually prepared a dowry for me, which was enough for me to use for the rest of my life."

Ji Wan had no choice but to think about it for a long time, but decided to express her thoughts.

"Mom, have you ever thought about remarrying?"

Zhou really didn't expect that his eldest daughter would have the same thoughts as her father, so she was stunned.

"Mom." Ji Wan pursed her lips, "I know, I don't have the position to ask you about these things. If I were a boy, I would have gone to the imperial examination and entered the officialdom long ago and would be able to support you in the future. But I am a woman and can't stay by your side for the rest of my life. Arong will sooner or later get married. Ah Heng is still young, and after moving out of the Zhou Mansion, you will have no support. You are so young, but your life is still long. I really can't bear to see you die alone."

Zhou's lips squirmed, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

"mother."

Ji Wan hugged her mother, "I'm telling the truth. I believe Arong is the same as me. We all hope you will be happy for the rest of your life. As for Aheng, he is the most well-behaved. I'll tell him that he will definitely listen to me. As for the grandfather and grandfather, I believe they will not object."

When her mother was forced to be expelled from the family and finally came back, she could see that her grandfather and grandfather really wanted to make up for her. With the Zhou family, even if her mother remarried, she would not be too bad. After all, the most troublesome thing was that the three of them were siblings.

If my mother remarries, she will definitely not leave the three of them behind. But after all, she is not her biological child, so her mother will inevitably worry that the three siblings will suffer grievances.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about us..."

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion, I won't talk about this." Zhou interrupted her gently, "Go, call Arong and Aheng, let's go to the main hall, eat mooncakes together, and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

She didn't want to talk about this topic, and Ji Wan didn't want to force it. She took the maid to find her sister and told her about her thoughts.

Ji Rong obviously didn't expect that aspect, but he quickly calmed down.

"Sister, you're right. My mother is only 31 years old. I don't want her to waste her whole life like this. Now that we are with her mother, she may not feel lonely. But we will both get married sooner or later. Aheng is a boy. In the future, she will probably have less time to talk to her mother. What the servants can do is limited. If my mother can find her own good marriage, that's the best."

My sister is sensible, and Ji Wan is very pleased.

"We will persuade my mother in a few days."

"good."

However, before the two sisters started to take action, grandfather Zhou Yan called the two to the study. He looked at the two underage children and thought about how to speak. He was silent for too long, Ji Wan and her sister looked at each other and asked, "Grandfather, you asked us to come over, but have you ordered?"

"It's not a command..."

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said directly: "Awan, Arong, I plan to find a marriage for your mother..."

He was still thinking about how to persuade his two granddaughters, but before he finished speaking, he saw his two granddaughters widen their eyes and looked at him with joy. This made Zhou Yan a little unexpected, "You... don't object?"

"No objection!"

Ji Wan immediately replied, her eyes lit up, "Grandfather, we all hope that my mother will have a support for the rest of her life. But we are all juniors, and it is not convenient to interfere in this kind of thing. You will arrange it, and it is most appropriate."

Ji Rong nodded repeatedly, saying that he fully supported his mother's remarriage.

"Mom may have too many concerns. Grandfather, please help us persuade Mom. You are her father, and she will listen to what you say."

Both granddaughters are very sensible. Zhou Yan is very pleased and his tone becomes softer, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After that, Zhou Yan talked to his eldest daughter alone, and he said, "You are my first child and the only blood left by your mother. I didn't take good care of you, and I let you be persecuted and wandered in the north for more than ten years, and I have always felt guilty."

"Father, that's not your fault, I'm too stupid."

Zhou quickly shook her head. After the initial resentment and self-giving, she slowly figured it out. After all, she was too useless and ended up like that.

Zhou Yan sighed, "You are my daughter. I used to be forced to do so, but now that you are back, I will make the decision for you. If it weren't for the little Guan family, the mother and daughter of the Guan family, you should have married into the Xiao family in a glorious way, so why would you suffer so much?"

"Father, that's all the past, I've already let it go."

Zhou lowered his eyes and said in a faint tone.

Zhou Yan silently said, "Tell me the truth, are you willing to enter Xiao's Mansion now?"

Zhou didn't say anything for a while. After a long time, she looked up and said, "I was not completely angry when I married into the Ji family. When he was still there, I was very kind to me. I have always thought about living with him for the rest of my life. But things didn't go as expected. He died of illness and was full of rumors. I once thought that I was a disaster star... How dare I ask for a remarriage again? If Awan and Arong had not experienced great difficulties one after another, I probably wouldn't have survived."

Speaking of this, she paused and then smiled and said, "Thanks to Awan, our family can get to this day step by step. Awan is old enough to be a bride. I thought that no matter what, I would find a good marriage for her, and don't spit on her for the first half of her life like me. But I also knew that the Ji family was just a farmer and never went to the generals to join the officialdom. Even if there were some meager births, the family was too low. Later, my second brother sent someone to pick us up, and we returned to the capital. Awan was also lucky to have a good marriage. At that time, I thought of her father. I knew in my heart that the Duke Anguo Mansion could love Awan, as far as family members were concerned, the Zhou family was concerned. Even if Arong talked about marriage and Aheng grew up and married, it would not be too bad to have a Zhou family. The biggest hidden danger in my heart has been eliminated, and I felt that I would be content in this life. As long as I raise a few children well, I can be worthy of the Ji family and the husband."

"That day, Xiao Shi sent Awan back. When I saw him, I remembered a lot of past events. I heard you talk about all the things back then... After I went back, I thought a lot. When I was born, I was a noble daughter from a noble family. My words and deeds were the standards of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. His Majesty gave him a marriage, and there was no honor. But until I met Xiao Shi, I knew his character, I thought about this marriage at least I was willing to do it in my heart. However, my fate with him was too shallow, and I was defeated by the despicable hand. I wandered to the north and met Ji Qing, and finally made a decision for myself."
