When the carriage turned into the streets and alleys where the Yunyang Hou Mansion was, Ningzhu opened the curtain and looked over there, and said to her sister strangely, "Why didn't my uncle come out today?" She had heard Ah Xun say that every time her sister came back, Chu Qing would lead him out to pick it up. As early as that year, when Chu Qing snatched her sister's rice cake, Ningzhu was not afraid of Chu Qing. She had more contact with Chu Qing when she lived in the Hou Mansion. Although Chu Qing liked to tease them, she was also another way to take care of her. Ningzhu became more and more comfortable when she called her uncle.
Chu Yuan got married, and Chu Qing told him that he had a three-day holiday, so he didn't have to go to court today. Han Zhu was also strange. He leaned over and looked at him. Sure enough, he saw Ah Xun looking forward to him, with Qi Zhi dressed in a guard behind him, and there were four guards guards at the gate, but Chu Qing was not there.
"It must be the mansion that is busy." Hanzhu said authentically.
The carriage stopped, Ningzhu got out of the car first, touched Ah Xun's head, smiled at Qi Zhi behind him, and turned to pick up his nephew.
Ah Xun looked at the cradle with eyes.
Qi Zhi's eyes fell on the little girl holding the cradle. Her pink dress was better than her beautiful face. When she smiled, she seemed to have clear spring water flowing in her almond eyes, which was getting more beautiful every year. Her soft and soft voice sounded even better, not inferior to her own big girl at all. No wonder Wu Kangbo's family treated her like her biological daughter, and even the Marquis treated her as a niece.
The eldest girl got out of the car, and Qi Zhi took back his gaze in time.
He is just the guard of the young prince. Miss Ning is so cute and silly that he has no airs. It doesn't mean that he can be arbitrary. If the eldest daughter, he may never see her again in the future.
"Where is Daddy?" After getting off the car, Hanzhu asked his younger brother.
A Xun raised his head and said, "Dad has entered the palace. The emperor has something to do to find him."
Qi Zhi added: "It's just not long since I left, and the Marquis said there is no big deal, so girls don't have to worry."
Hanzhu nodded and asked the wet nurse to hold Yuan Ge'er. She led her younger brother and sister in.
There was Ningzhu helping to take care of A Xunyuan Brother, Hanzhu went to the big room to see if there was anything she could help with.
"Why didn't you bring Brother Yuan here?" the old lady looked behind her and asked in disappointment.
Hanzhu smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is too young, afraid of bringing him here to cause trouble. When my sister-in-law comes in, I will carry him to show my grandmother."
The old lady hummed and waved her to sit beside her. After chatting for a while, the eldest lady went out to work hard. The old lady sent the maids down and asked Hanzhu in a low voice: "You have a good time with your third sister, do you know if she likes who?"
Hanzhu was shocked. When the little girls met a man they liked, they would tell their friends to their friends, for example, she had whispered to Chu Qiang, but this was not polite and no one wanted to let the elders know, so as not to be scolded. The old lady asked this, did she have any doubts?
"I haven't heard from my third sister that why my grandmother asked like this?" Hanzhu asked in confusion.
The old lady saw that she really didn't know, and clapped her hands and sighed, "Last year, many people came to propose marriage, but your third sister disagreed. This year she is sixteen, so you can't delay any further. Your father was anxious and took a guerrilla general whom he promoted to the marquis's mansion and let me take a look with your aunt first. The man's surname is Jiang, and this year's twenty-five, he is also handsome and handsome. Although he is not of high origin, he is young and promising, and there is no trouble for his sister-in-law at home. Both your aunt and you like it very much. But your third sister didn't agree to anything, and he refused to even look at it. Seeing that your fourth sister is at the age of discussing marriage, she has not yet settled down. Do you think we can't worry?"
Hanzhu was also confused. Chu Qing was extremely protective of her shortcomings. Although he killed the third wife, he still loved the innocent Chu Huai and Chu Rong brothers as before. He chose him personally, and the person he chose must be a good man. Why didn’t Chu Rong even look at it?
"Did the third sister say why?" Hanzhu asked in a low voice. Her relationship with Chu Rong faded after she got married. Although she lived in the mansion for a year last year, she didn't go out because she was pregnant and didn't meet Chu Rong much.
The old lady shook her head, "I said she couldn't bear to leave her family and wanted to wait for your second brother to marry her wife. But your second brother is so arrogant and not as obedient as your eldest brother. Who knows when he wants to settle down? Alas, Hanhan should stay at home for a few more days this time, please advise her. You are sisters and speak more effectively than me. Look, I think I'm too long-winded and haven't come to me for the past two days."
Hanzhu quickly coaxed, "The third sister is still a childish temper. I will tell her about it, and she will definitely understand your hard work."
The old lady patted her hand with relief, "You sisters, you are the most sensible."
Hanzhu smiled humbly.
After sitting in the big room for a while, she found that the eldest lady had prepared everything and could not use her. Hanzhu returned to the Lotus Courtyard.
Chu Qing has already returned and is watching Ningzhu Axun teasing Brother Yuan in the warm gaze. When he saw his daughter, he asked, "Why have you been there for so long?"
"I've talked with the old lady for a while. When will my father come back?" Hanzhu sat down at Chu Qing and did not get to the children.
"I just came back." As for the matter in the court, Chu Qing did not mention it to her daughter and whispered: "The old lady told you about Jiang Sheng?"
Hanzhu nodded.
Chu Qing is not good at marriage between children. When his daughter got married, he was worried once. It was her niece's turn, and her father's advice didn't work. Chu Qing couldn't help, so she said to her daughter: "If you have time, go and persuade Rongrong. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like Jiang Sheng, at least let us know what kind of man she likes."
In fact, he had already taken a fancy to Jiang Sheng and originally planned to leave it to his younger daughter, but during the Chinese New Year, he asked his younger daughter whether she wanted to marry a literati or a military general. The younger daughter said that he would do whatever she could in the capital. Then Jiang Sheng, a guerrilla general who worked in Liaodong, would be inappropriate. It just so happened that her niece was worried about marrying, so Chu Qing wanted to give the person to her niece.
"Well, I'll go and see my third sister in the afternoon." Hanzhu replied happily.
"Sister, Brother Yuan is peeing again!" The father and daughter whispered, and A Xun suddenly started to scream loudly. Hanzhu hurried over there, looking at her son who was cheering with her calves, and said strangely: "Why didn't you listen to him crying?" In the past, his son would hum before he would whine, reminding them to whine.
Ningzhu looked at her nephew and smiled, "Brother Yuan doesn't like his uncle, did he deliberately boo him?"
Yuan Ge'er giggled, her big eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and she smiled badly.
Ah Xun is seven years old, so he doesn't believe that his nephew doesn't like him. He glared at Sister Ning who deliberately teased him and ran out quickly, "I'll change my clothes and come over later!"
Chu Qing loudly reminded her son to run slowly, and looked back at her daughter who was busy packing up for her grandson. She felt satisfied and touched her short beard that she had just accumulated. She was still good at her children, and her daughter had married and had children. Her younger son acted coquettishly and was very serious when practicing martial arts and studying. She would become a great man in time.

After resting in the afternoon, Hanzhu kept her sister taking care of her son, and she went to the third room.
Chu Rong was teasing the canary she had just raised in the house. Her tender yellow feathers were fresh and beautiful. When the eldest maid Xianyin said that her cousin was here, she continued to tease her pet with a thin bamboo stick, and said lazily: "Tell her, if she is a lobbyist for the old lady, then I will forgive me for being rude and will not invite her into the house."
She really didn't want to meet guests, but she said it playfully, and Xianyin used it as a joke. When she went out, she learned it with Hanzhu with a smile.
Hanzhu didn't take this seriously and walked straight in.
Chu Rong knew that she would definitely come in, so she smiled and greeted her, "Since my sister is not a lobbyist, please sit down quickly. Alas, I'm afraid that you would urge me to get married when you see me like the old lady, so I didn't dare to come over to see you and Brother Yuan when my sister came back."
Hanzhu was about to say that it was all for her own good, but first saw the canary over there and couldn't help but praise: "This canary is so beautiful. When did my sister raise it?"
Chu Rong smiled and said, "When I went out for a trip a few days ago, I saw someone selling it, so I bought it. My sister had a good attitude, but my brother actually thought it was ugly." However, the man's annoyed look when he lost to her, and the corners of his lips also rose. Their three rooms have no power, but in terms of money, her private money is tens of thousands of taels.
She looked proud, and Hanzhu praised the bird carefully. As she chatted, she turned the topic to Chu Rong's marriage.
Chu Rong didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she took this opportunity to turn her face coldly and turned her head to ignore her.
Hanzhu didn't expect Chu Rong to be so disgusted with marriage. She saw that she was really angry, so she couldn't mention it anymore, so she sat for a while and left.
Hanzhu was a little disappointed when she failed to do what her elders told her. When Cheng Yu came over in the evening, she saw that when the couple was alone, she hugged her on her lap and coaxed her, "He doesn't agree with me living here?" Could it be that she was worried that he would be unhappy about it?
Hanzhu didn't mention him about staying at Chu Qing at all. Knowing that he was easy to talk to now, he nodded and advised him softly, "It's only three nights, don't come here." He didn't care what outsiders said about him. She cared. Which couple had never seen him so clingy when they were separated for two or three days.
Cheng Yu is actually just teasing her. It’s best to be able to stay. It doesn’t matter if she goes home by herself. I can’t bear to worry about this, so I quickly agreed.
He was easy to talk to. Hanzhu looked at her husband's gentle and handsome face, and felt that he had not seen him for a day, so he quickly threw Chu Rong's marriage behind him. Chu Rong was sixteenth, not a child, and when would he like to marry, Chu Rong must have a clear idea of what kind of man she liked to persuade her. She was kind enough to persuade her, but Chu Rong didn't listen, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Chu Yuan’s wedding the next day.
Brother Yuan was handed over to the wet nurse to take care of him. Hanzhu took her sister to the new house to see the bride. She lifted her veil and only light makeup was applied on Liu Yuzhuang's face, but against the backdrop of the red wedding dress, the light makeup was already stunning. She looked at Chu Yuan shyly and then hung down again. The softness was indescribable at all.
Looking at Chu Yuan again, his face was calm and his cold aura was weakened by the joyful robe, but he couldn't see the joy that the groom should have. He had a straightforward attitude to do everything, as if that was just what he should do. Only when Chu Rong joked whether he had forgotten to smile happily, he pulled the corner of his mouth, looking a little helpless.
When he walked back after the new house, Ningzhu quietly asked his sister, "Does Brother Chu dislike Sister Liu?"
Hanzhu smiled and pointed her sister's forehead, "What nonsense? He has such a temperament. How could he marry him if he doesn't like it?"
Ningzhu looked back and felt a little sympathetic to the bride, "If it were such a cold person, I wouldn't dare to talk to him anymore."
Hanzhu smiled but didn't say anything. When she first met Cheng Yu, she was so afraid that she wouldn't even dare to look at him. Wouldn't it be better to get to know him? She and Cheng Yu were pretty good, and they fell in love before marriage. Those who only met when they got married by relying solely on the orders of their parents and matchmakers, wouldn't they still have a hole in the room?
But she was a person who had experienced it and was familiar with Chu Yuan. She understood that Chu Yuan was born with a cold face. Liu Yuzhuang didn't know that. She misunderstood that Chu Yuan didn't really want to marry her. She waited anxiously until it was dark. When she rested at night, she was even more trembling. It was not until the man had ended with her love for her and hugged her in his arms and patted her gently. There was another kind of gentleness in her silence that she understood what kind of man she had married.
When I was serving tea the next day, Liu Yuzhuang blushed and obviously was very satisfied with her husband.
Hanzhu was sincerely happy for her and Chu Yuan. After returning, she told her sister and told her the reason why the cold part might not be cold.
Ningzhu was very curious. In the afternoon, Zhou Wenting came to pick her up home. When she walked out, she looked at Qi Zhi more. In fact, there were many people around her who were cold-faced. Chu Qing and Cheng Yu were scary when she didn't smile, but the two Ningzhu were very familiar. If she wanted to explore, only Qi Zhi was left.
Qi Zhi noticed her gaze and her heartbeat was uncontrollably chaotic.
Ningzhu seemed to see the boy blushing, and wanted to check carefully to confirm that there was an older brother beside her.
She looked up and met her brother's unhappy gaze.
Ningzhu couldn't help but shrink her neck. This brother, she was stricter than her sister, and she was not allowed to look at her. Now she was not allowed to look at her.
"Does A Xun want to go back with us?" Ning Zhu pretended not to understand his brother's meaning and ran to tease A Xun.
Ah Xun turned around and ran behind his sister, saying crisply, "I won't go!" He wanted to coax his nephew at home.
Ningzhu sneered, said goodbye to her sister, got on the carriage, and after finishing, she picked up the curtains and bid farewell again. When Ningzhu set out, she was about to put down the curtains, she suddenly noticed someone was looking at her. She looked over curiously and saw the moment when Qi Zhi lowered her eyes and avoided her. Ningzhu looked at the boy standing behind everyone, and suddenly understood her sister's words.
A cold-faced person will not easily know what he is thinking.
