Chapter 711 Zheng Jinshu's retirement issues
And there are people in the capital who raise wild geese.
Zheng Jinshu actually followed Gu Zizhan's example and did not choose to buy domestic geese. Instead, he resolutely decided to go out and catch wild geese himself.
You know, this is not an easy task!
First of all, wild geese are difficult to capture. They are naturally agile and fly fast, so it is not easy to catch them successfully.
The second more difficult problem is that Zheng Jinshu not only needs to catch the wild geese, but also has to select a male and a female, which makes the difficulty level rise sharply.
And he absolutely could not let these geese get hurt, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.
It has to be admitted that this action of Zheng Jinshu was not easy.
Unexpectedly, after he had gone through untold hardships and shot down several wild geese, he was surprised to find that they were all males!
This made him very depressed, and he thought to himself: Could it be that these wild geese don't want to see me get married? Why did they only shoot down male geese after all the effort?
However, even after encountering such setbacks, Zheng Jinshu remained undaunted, because he knew very well that good things always take time to come.
And so he continued to work hard without giving up.
God helps those who work hard. When he finally shot the seventh wild goose, Zheng Jinshu was surprised to find that it was finally a female!
At this moment, all the fatigue and frustration disappeared instantly, replaced by joy and beautiful visions for the future.
Zheng Jinshu took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, walked forward, and slowly came in front of Gu Ziyan.
He was also a little nervous because he hadn't been to the Gu Mansion since they got engaged, and he hadn't seen Sister Zi Yan for several days.
His handsome face flushed slightly, and he said with a bit of shyness: "Sister Ziyan, this is the wild goose I shot specially for you."
As he spoke, he gently handed the thing in his hand forward.
Gu Ziyan was stunned at first, then looked in the direction of Zheng Jinshu's movements.
When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and her face was full of surprise.
It turned out that Zheng Jinshu not only shot the wild geese, he also carefully packed the two geese in an exquisite basket.
This basket is woven very delicately and is decorated with some beautiful flowers. It complements the two plump geese and looks particularly beautiful.
Looking at this unique gift, Gu Ziyan's cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.
She stretched out her hands somewhat embarrassedly, carefully took the basket filled with love, and whispered, "Thank you." Her voice was gentle and sweet, like a spring breeze blowing through people's hearts.
Hearing Gu Ziyan's thanks, Zheng Jinshu quickly waved his hands and replied with a smile: "No thanks, no thanks, this is what I should do."
Although he is almost thirty years old, at this moment he looks like a young man who is just beginning to fall in love, with an innocent and shy expression.
Mrs. Zheng, who was standing nearby, saw all of this and felt extremely relieved.
She thought to herself that although her son was careless on weekdays, he knew how to behave well.
Even if it was just superficial work, as long as they could successfully marry this woman whom they knew well, it would be a good thing for their family.
After all, as long as you can save face, the days that follow won't be too embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng's eyes became softer as she looked towards Gu Ziyan, and her heart was filled with gratitude towards this sensible girl.
At the same time, people from Prince Rui's Palace were also paying attention to the situation here.
They looked at the full sincerity shown by Zheng Jinshu.
Especially Princess Rui!
This really proves the old saying - the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him!
Looking behind him were Zheng Jinshu's elder brother and sister-in-law.
This is full of sincerity.
However, Zheng Jinrong’s wife Lin Manqing felt a little uncomfortable.
As for why?
Isn't this clear?
Watching the second brother's betrothal ceremony was much more grand than when she first proposed.
Although her mother-in-law also invited someone to come with her husband to propose marriage.
However, no one of such high status was invited to propose marriage.
There is also a betrothal gift.
The betrothal gift she had offered before was thirty-two loads.
The second son married a divorced daughter, and it cost forty-eight lifts, which was sixteen more than she had originally had.
This mother-in-law is too partial.
Both the betrothal gift and the degree of importance attached by the husband's family are completely different.
How could she not be jealous?
Why?
Although Lin Manqing was unhappy in her heart, she tried her best to remain calm outside.
But when I get back I must talk to my husband and tell him not to be so partial and that he should make up for the betrothal gift they received from this family.
Thinking this way makes me feel better.
Lin Manqing never thought that even though Gu Ziyan was getting married for the second time, it was the Queen who arranged the marriage.
No matter how much he has no real power, he is still a royal relative, so we must invite someone with a higher position.
Otherwise, you just look down on others.
Lin Manqing's family was of the fourth rank, so Zheng's mother had already given enough face by inviting a third rank lady to act as a matchmaker.
It’s just that the two old people didn’t go there in person.
This time, it was the Queen who arranged the marriage and she felt that she owed the woman, so the ceremony was so grand.
As for the betrothal gift, it has not been told to the first wife yet, and most of it was paid by Zheng Jinshu himself.
That's why there are these misunderstandings.
Madam Fu looked at Prince Rui and said, "Congratulations, Prince Rui. Princess Ziyan will definitely be happy this time. Jinshu has grown up under your care, and she will definitely not let Ziyan down. Don't worry!"
King Rui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Jinshu and Zizhan have always been good friends, and this king believes in him."
When Zheng's mother heard Prince Rui praising her son, she felt very guilty and decided to talk to her son about it when she got back.
Although I cannot give my heart to Zi Yan, I cannot treat her unfairly in other aspects.
Then he looked at Mo Yan behind Gu Ziyan.
Just right.
Although they are not my biological children, I think I won’t be able to have them in the future.
It’s not bad to have a stepson, so that when you are old you will have a son to look up to.
In such a short period of time, Zheng's mother has already thought about Zheng Jinshu's retirement care.
Everyone was filled with joy when looking at Mo Yan.
The point is that this child is very pure and filial. She is obviously the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion, but when she follows her mother out, she is looked down upon.
But he was still willing to follow his mother out.
A grateful child.
If the Zheng family is sincere to him in the future.
I think he would be grateful.
So when Zheng's mother looked at Mo Yan, she showed a kind smile: "Mo Yan is such a good child, we will be a family from now on, and grandma will treat you as her own grandson."
Everyone looked at Zheng's mother.
Especially the people from Prince Rui’s Palace.
Originally everyone was worried about Mo Yan's future situation.
Princess Rui and Prince Rui both thought about letting Mo Yan live in Prince Rui's mansion.
Of course, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had no objection to this matter.
