When you reach the stage of blind date, you can say that it is basically settled. If you really refuse, it will hurt your face and it will not look good.

Today's communication with Sheng Hong was quite successful. The marriage can be postponed for a few years and I have gained some autonomy.

Sheng Hongbi just wanted to find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family to give him face.

Wang Ruofu, who then asked Sheng Changbai to get married as soon as possible and give birth to his grandson, became much more sober.

After returning to the capital, there are still two days of vacation. If there is a vacation to take, it is naturally impossible for Sheng Changbai to take the initiative to cancel the vacation.

I have just turned fifteen in this life, and I will become a laborer.

In this feudal society, there is no exact retirement age. Even if there is an option to retire and return to one's hometown, it still depends on whether the emperor is willing or not.

Sheng Changbai should rest as much as possible while he can rest now.

The next day, I brought some Youyang specialties, some from Uncle Wei and some from Sheng Changbai himself.

We arrived at Earl Zhongqin’s Mansion to visit Hua Lan.

"Sister, how are you these days?"

This question was just a polite question, Hua Lan still looked quite haggard.

If you have a bad mood, your state will inevitably be affected.

"I'm fine. Erlang, did your trip back to Youyang go well?" Hua Lan replied politely.

I'm afraid that my parents-in-law will be worried, and I'm afraid that my parents-in-law will have conflicts with the Earl's Mansion because of me.

Hua Lan never told the Sheng family about the grievances she suffered from the Yuan family.

Even though her mother-in-law was worried about the dowry, Hua Lan went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives.

Sheng Changbai specifically asked Hualan's dowry maid to let the Sheng family know.

"It went very well, big sister, where is Sister Zhuang? I brought her a lot of stuff from Youyang."

Hua Lan gave birth to her eldest daughter, Sister Zhuang, last year. The child is only half a year old now.

It is quite dangerous to give birth to a child at the age of seventeen. Fortunately for Hua Lan, the birth went smoothly this time.

Hua Lan also gave birth to a daughter, Countess Yuan Zhangshi, which gave her even more reason to show off to Hua Lan.

"Go and see if the child is sleeping. If not, bring the child over." Hua Lan ordered the female envoy beside him.

After everyone left, Sheng Changbai continued: "Sister, please be patient for a while. If they want money, just spend some for them. I have already urged my father to talk to the count as soon as possible to discuss this matter.

."

Asking Hua Lan to give up any housekeeping rights can only keep a little of Hua Lan's dowry.

But after the Countess couldn't take advantage of Hualan.

That's how you can really mess with Hualan. In this feudal society, the mother-in-law suppresses the daughter-in-law's natural identity too much.

There are too many ways to make Hua Lan uncomfortable.

Having Hua Lan take care of her all day long is a strain on Hua Lan's body.

Taking a concubine for Yuan Wenshao was a torment to Hua Lan's heart.

Compared with these, Hua Lan gave up a little extravagant wealth, which was obviously not that important.

Sheng Changbai couldn't let Hualan suffer this embarrassing loss. Sooner or later, he would have to get his capital back with profits.

In the Zhou Dynasty, due to the taxation and labor service system, which were directly related to family assets and income, farmers were divided into five classes and citizens were divided into ten classes.

But whether it is a rural household registration or an urban household registration, the thicker the household wealth, the higher the tax rate that needs to be paid, and the more corvee that needs to be levied.

Therefore, in order to pay less taxes, it was still very popular among the people of the Zhou Dynasty that fathers and sons and brothers separated their families early.

But this does not include the ruling class such as nobles and officials.

In the upper class society, it is still more popular that parents do not separate the family.

Therefore, it would be too difficult to separate Yuan Wenshao from the Earl's Mansion now.

Even if the operation is successful, it will still be a great damage to the reputation of the Yuan family and the Sheng family.

It is difficult for the parties involved, Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan, to mingle in the circles of nobles and officials.

But Uncle Zhongqin cannot always be around. Yuan Wenchun and Yuan Wenshao will separate sooner or later. As an important figure in the family separation, Hua Lan is Hua Lan's younger brother and the uncle of Hua Lan's child.

When the two sons of the Yuan family separated, Sheng Changbai had to be present.

In terms of property division, it was only with Sheng Changbai's consent that the division was clear.

Hualan's dowry, except for some private subsidies from the old lady and Wang Ruofu, was clearly written on the dowry list.
