Supreme Return

Chapter 362 There is an extra Zhou family in the imperial capital!
At the gate of the mansion they found for Zhou Wu and the others, a plaque with the word "Zhou's family" written on it had already been hung.

And in the afternoon of this day, when Zhou Ming returned here with Bi Rui, who had been an orphan since childhood, Zhou Wu was still looking for a suitable address to open a shop, accompanied by Zhou Lan and other women, and waited until evening. A group of talents were able to return.

A large table of food was set up in the backyard, which could be described as extremely rich.

Hearing about Zhou Wu's return home, Birui was more nervous than ever, but she was a bit like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.

Of course, although Birui can't be said to be too beautiful, she is definitely not inferior to the ugly one.

"Brother Ming, I'm really nervous! What if, what if my father-in-law doesn't like me?" Bi Rui whispered.

"Hehe, it's okay! Don't worry! How could your father not like such a good daughter-in-law?"

Under Zhou Ming's continuous gentle comfort, Bi Rui's nervousness finally eased a lot.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and soon Zhou Wu walked in, followed by Zhou Lan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yue, Sun Bingxuan and Wu Ying's five daughters.

"Father!"

Zhou Ming led Birui who was a little nervous and hurried up to meet her.

"Daughter-in-law Birui, I have met my father-in-law!"

Bi Rui also hurriedly saluted.

"Father-in-law?"

Zhou Wu was startled when he heard the words, and even Zhou Lan and his daughters were the same, showing extremely surprised expressions.

"Ming'er, this is..."

Zhou Wu looked at Zhou Ming and asked in confusion.

"Hey, father, she is the daughter-in-law I found for you!"

Zhou Ming grinned and replied.

"Ok?"

Zhou Wu was taken aback again, and hurriedly looked towards Bi Rui, a satisfied smile soon appeared on his face, and quickly said, "Bi Rui? Okay, okay! If Ming'er dares to bully you in the future, you will be with me." Say, see if I don't break his leg!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Bi Rui smiled sweetly.

"Sister-in-law? Have we met somewhere?" Zhou Lan asked suspiciously, feeling that Birui looked familiar.

"Lan'er, Birui is the empress's side!" Zhou Ming reminded.

"People around my aunt?"

Zhou Lan froze for a moment, then quickly remembered, took Birui's little hand in the past, and smiled softly, "No wonder, we are a family now, sister-in-law!"

"Yeah! Family! Family!"

Bi Rui nodded repeatedly.

Even in the palace, no matter how much the Empress Dowager trusted her, she never really felt the warmth of a family!

This moved Birui, who was lonely and lonely since she was a child, and brought countless recognitions to this family!
"Haha...Okay, okay, let's all go in and eat together first!"

At this moment, Zhou Ming grinned and said, "Birui spent almost an afternoon making this by herself, just in time for Father to try your daughter-in-law's craft!"

"Haha...Okay, okay! Let's eat, eat!"

Zhou Wu was very satisfied, he laughed repeatedly, it seemed that even the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out because of his happiness.

Needless to say, even if she is not from the Imperial Dining Room, Birui's craftsmanship is very good even if she is able to serve the Empress. , I think this meal is very delicious...

Zhou Wu, the father of Zhou Ming and Zhou Lan, even laughed heartily from time to time, and even drank a few more glasses of wine.

"I said I'm here to eat! I didn't expect you all had already eaten!"

When everyone was about to eat, Chu Xuan walked in from the outside.

"Xuan'er, come, have a drink with me!" Zhou Wu beckoned.

"OK!"

Naturally, Chu Xuan didn't say much, just sat down beside Zhou Lan, and drank three cups with his father-in-law.

But at this time, Bi Rui, who was about to get up and salute when she saw Chu Xuan, was pushed back to her seat by Zhou Lan. There are no heirs here, only family members!

"Xuanzi, where have you been? Why did you come here so late?" Zhou Lan asked softly.

"Go back and sleep! I didn't expect to oversleep!" Chu Xuan laughed.

"..."

After hearing this, Zhou Lan immediately rolled her eyes, this stinky guy...

"Haha, I'm so happy today!" After several glasses of wine, Zhou Wu couldn't help laughing.

"Father-in-law, won't you be happier when His Majesty's marriage decree arrives tomorrow?" Chu Xuan interjected.

"His Majesty bestows a marriage?"

Zhou Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, even the arm holding the wine glass trembled, and said excitedly, "Xuan'er, you said that Ming'er and Bi Rui are together, and even His Majesty wants to give the marriage in person?"

"Eh? Father-in-law, don't you know?"

Chu Xuan was a little suspicious, and turned to look at Zhou Ming and Bi Rui who were sitting across from him. He didn't know whether it was because they had drunk too much alcohol or because they were blushing because of shyness.

"Ahem...we haven't had time to tell father!" Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"Okay, let me tell you!"

Chu Xuan shrugged, and immediately told all the things that happened in the palace today, but he didn't mention that he had to agree to the unknown conditions under Zhao Qingtian's "coercion and temptation".

His Majesty decreed not only to bestow marriages, but also to leave ink treasures behind!
After Zhou Wu heard this, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. This is the great glory of their Zhou family!
"Xuan'er, I won't say too much!"

Taking a deep breath and calming his excitement, Zhou Wu said to Chu Xuan seriously, "Thank you very much!"

"Father-in-law is serious! We are all a family, why should we thank you?" Chu Xuan replied with a smile.

"Yes, father! This is what Xuanzi should do!" Zhou Lan also said out loud.

"Okay, family!"

Zhou Wu nodded heavily, and now even the marriage of his eldest son, which he was most worried about, has been settled, and his daughter-in-law is sitting in front of him, making Zhou Wu feel that all the important things in his heart are gone.

Next, as long as he is allowed to embrace his grandson as soon as possible, so that their Zhou family has successors, then even if Zhou Wu dies, he will have no regrets.

…………

The next morning, something happened that shook the imperial capital.

Emperor Qingtian Zhao Qingtian personally issued a decree to bestow the marriage. At the same time, he even mounted a plaque with the four characters of "a match made in heaven" written by himself. Accompanied by the guards in the palace, it was sent to Zhou's house amidst countless drums and music!
And the most important thing is that the ambassador for this marriage is the Prince Zhao Ran!
Sensational!
The entire imperial capital was completely shocked!

Whether it was the Sun family, which started with commerce, or various types of officials, and even the mercenary guild, they were all alarmed by this incident.

Countless people understand that being so valued by His Majesty is definitely not easy!

And those who knew the relationship between the Zhou family and the Chu Palace even took the initiative to send various congratulatory gifts after His Majesty's marriage ceremony, which filled two or three rooms.

As marriage objects, Zhou Ming and Bi Rui fell into an ocean of incomparable happiness.

"Xuan'er, will this matter become too big?"

In the backyard, Zhou Wulue said to Chu Xuan worriedly, "After all, we are new to the imperial capital. Will we become the target of public criticism? At that time, I'm afraid..."

"Father, it's not that serious!"

Before Zhou Wu finished speaking, and before Chu Xuan could answer, Zhou Lan immediately said, "This is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty himself! If those people want to come to visit, let them go! Anyway, they are just here Just take a look, I don't have the guts to do it yet!"

"That's right, father-in-law, what Lan'er said is absolutely true!"

Only then did Chu Xuan slowly open his mouth and said, "Besides, it's already like this now, so it's impossible to refuse people at the door, right? Wouldn't that be even more rude?"

"But I'm still a little worried!"

Zhou Wu continued to frown, "If someone uses this matter to manipulate secretly, won't it make our Zhou family fall into a place of eternal doom?"

"Hehe, just put your heart in your stomach!"

Chu Xuan smiled and comforted, "No one would dare to do that!"

"Yes, Master Zhou, don't worry too much!"

Xiao Yue also said softly, "If anyone dares, our young master will never let him go! Hmph!"

Under everyone's persuasion and comfort, Zhou Wu finally let go of his cautious worries for the time being, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the good thing of Zhou Ming and Bi Rui's upcoming marriage according to the decree, which greatly relieved Chu Xuan and the others.

According to His Majesty's will, there are still thirteen days to be a good day, suitable for marriage!

Therefore, Zhou Ming and Bi Rui's wedding was fixed on that day.

Just about half a month, enough time for them to get ready!
In the next few days, news about Zhou Ming, the young master of the Zhou family, and Bi Rui, the sixth-rank female official, spread throughout the entire imperial capital, almost everything was everywhere...

And the news about the Zhou family, about the Zhou family village, about Zhou Wu, a great benevolent person, also spread wildly throughout the entire imperial capital, making it known to all.

Many people came to visit, including some family heads and court officials, so that the Zhou family was already crowded in just a few days, and they seemed to have become the upstarts of the imperial capital!

Zhou Wu, as the Patriarch of the Zhou family, also kept welcoming and seeing off guests. Basically, from morning to afternoon, except for eating, there was almost no time to rest.

Although he was a little tired, Zhou Wu was extremely happy in his heart.

More and more people take the initiative to visit, which means everyone agrees.

Getting to know more new friends can also create better and more convenient conditions for the future development of the Zhou family in the imperial capital.

Why not do this?

As for his previous worries, they were buried in the deepest part of his heart early on.

With Chu Xuan around, Chu Palace around, and even the relationship between Bi Rui and the palace, whoever dares to play tricks in the dark, I'm afraid that's really impatient!
No matter what, with the help of this marriage gift, everyone knew very well that the emperor had an extra Zhou family!
A Zhou family with a deep background! !
