In that compartment, Xu Miaoqing had already reached her sister's side first, and saw her eldest sister sitting by the cradle, humming a little tune to coax her nephew to sleep.
There was obvious joy and relaxation in the melodious singing. She walked to her sister and sat down. She first put her hand on the warm cage next to her to warm it up, and then gently scratched Zhu Gaochi with her fingers.
With a big face, he asked in a low voice:
"Sister, what are you happy about?"
"Did you hear it?" Xu Miaoyun said with a dimple-like smile: "Uncle Liu helped me remove a big heart disease today."
As he spoke, he told Zhu Zhen exactly how he got close to Gao Chi when he came today, and how he used some inscrutable words to untie the knot in Zhu Di's heart.
At the end, she said with a happy smile: "I heard from my second sister-in-law that my uncle Liu is a very kind-hearted and methodical person. Today I have seen it. What my second sister-in-law said is absolutely right. Uncle Liu really can't bear to see anyone in the family suffering.
Woolen cloth."
"I really can't tell." Xu Miaoqing looked at her eldest nephew's chubby face and whispered, "He looks like a gangster."
"That's why we say that people should not be judged by their appearance." Xu Miaoyun chuckled and said, "You have also met his mother and concubine. She is a very good person, not to mention the empress. It is not surprising to raise a child like Uncle Liu."
"What does that have to do with me..." Xu Miaoqing said with a blushing face.
"Why doesn't it matter? He just returned to Beijing yesterday and turned upside down early this morning. Who do you think he is for?" Xu Miaoyun chuckled.
"Isn't it for Gao Chi?" Xu Miaoqing's face turned redder.
"There is no conflict." Xu Miaoyun smiled and held her sister's hand and said, "It is easy to find a priceless treasure, but it is rare to find a lover. My sister will never see the wrong person, don't worry."
"What should I worry about?" Xu Miaoqing covered her face in shame, feeling that her cheeks were hotter than a warm cage.
~~
After the sisters came out together, the family banquet at Prince Yan's Mansion began.
The fourth child arranged the seats very carefully. He invited Xu Da and his wife to take a seat, then asked the sixth child to sit next to Xu Da, and he sat next to the sixth child.
On the female side, Miaoyun is still next to her mother-in-law, and Miaoqing is next to Miaoyun.
This is both appropriate and convenient for Lao Liu and his future father-in-law to formulate sentences. When he looks up, he can still see Xu Miaoqing's face.
"How's it going? Isn't this a thoughtful arrangement?" The fourth and sixth children stood next to each other and asked for credit in a low voice.
"Ah." Lao Liu said casually, his attention had been attracted by Xu Miaoqing opposite.
After not seeing each other for a year, Miao Qing has become even more beautiful and fragrant. Her pretty face and eyebrows have all grown...just like Tifa in the remake.
Zhu Zhen felt like Claude attending the graduation prom. His eyes were completely attracted to her and he couldn't see anything else at all.
Xu Miaoqing was not as shy as she was just now. Instead, she faced his burning gaze and used her big, watery eyes to signal him not to stare at her all the time.
Zhu Zhen's eyes just moved away for a moment, then turned to her face again.
Repeatedly, Xu Miaoqing glared and threatened, and the beauty pretended to be angry, which made His Royal Highness the King of Chu's heart flutter, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The seat Xu Da was sitting on the side was a VIP seat where he could watch his daughter flirting with His Royal Highness the King of Chu. His nose was almost crooked with anger. Is it true? Is it true? Isn’t it true that I don’t exist? Is there any reserve at all?
?
He went off in person and toasted Lao Liu frequently, hoping to give this boy a little 'alcohol' test and let him know the consequences of teasing someone else's daughter in front of me.
I think that at such a young age, King Chu had probably never had much drinking experience in a bar...
Who would have expected that the sixth man would not refuse anyone who came, and drank more than ten drinks with him without changing his expression. Xu Da couldn't help but secretly sigh, the son of Chong Bage and Hu Sanniang was indeed born to be a wine barrel.
But at this time, he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get out of the way. After respecting the sixth child, he couldn't help but let others respect him again, right?
Lao Liu counterattacked with one cup after another, and at the same time he slapped Xu Da in the back.
"Uncle Xu is my idol. I have grown up listening to Uncle Xu's stories since I was a child."
"When I grew up, I realized that Uncle Xu was Wei Qing and Li Jing of the Ming Dynasty. I really... admire you so much."
"I heard from my father that when he was young, Uncle Xu was a handsome boy from all over the country. No wonder he gave birth to a daughter like Miaoqing."
"Haha, your highness is right." Xu Da was made comfortable by King Chu's praise and drank enough, so he gradually let go and started chatting with Lao Liu.
"At that time, the most handsome young man in our village was your father. There were many old men in our village. Especially when we were surrounded by people like Tang He and Zhou Dexing, we felt even more confident. At that time, he called me Yong.
Feng Songyu, I call him Ran Deng Pan An."
"Hahaha..." The juniors were so amused that they laughed and hurriedly offered a drink to Yongfeng and Song Yu. The atmosphere at the dinner was one of joy and harmony.
Seeing that the relationship between Lao Liu and Xu Da was heating up as his alcohol intake continued to increase, Zhu Di felt relieved and turned to talk to his neglected brothers and sisters... He had always treated his brother-in-law and sister-in-law as family members.
"After a few days off during the New Year, I'll take you three to visit the temple fair." Zhu Di worked really hard to develop his biological brother into a brother-in-law.
"Okay, okay." Xu Zengshou smiled and said to his sister: "Miaoqing can't afford shopping all year round, so we must go together."
"I will go if father agrees..." Xu Miaoqing said softly.
"Go ahead, go ahead." Xu Da was talking to Lao Liu about his glorious deeds that were unknown to the public. Hearing this, he replied casually: "It's great to go out with your brothers for the Chinese New Year.
.”
"Okay." Xu Miaoqing nodded obediently.
"Hey, Lao Liu, let's go together if you have nothing to do." Zhu Di seemed to be thinking of his younger brother again: "You can't just immerse yourself in studying. It's the Chinese New Year, give yourself a day off."
"Ah..." Zhu Zhen was already drunk and was confused by what he heard. He couldn't even remember the last time he read a book. Is it the first month of this year?
If Teacher Luo’s new novel manuscript can be counted as a book...
"Ah, go, go, I will definitely go." Fortunately, he always grasps the key points. If Xu Miaoqing goes, how could he not go?
This is the date that the fourth brother promised to himself!
"Okay, then it's such a happy decision!" His Highness King Yan made the decision immediately, not giving Xu Da a chance to regret it.
Xu Da, however, seemed oblivious and continued drinking and chatting with Lao Liu.
~~
Xu Da, who drank until dark and was already very drunk, returned home with the help of his son.
Mrs. Xie wiped his face and brought him sobering soup. Finally he couldn't help but muttered: "Miaoqing and the King of Chu are not relatives, so is it appropriate to go out together?"
"Her three brothers are following her, what's wrong with that?" Xu Da took a sip of the sour hangover soup, and his nausea was relieved a lot. He couldn't help cursing secretly, this old man is so cruel, he doesn't care about his elders at all.
Comrade.
"Looking at the look of the three of them, I wish I could sell her to the King of Chu." Xie said angrily. She didn't know where the anger came from. Maybe it was because no one asked her for her opinion from the beginning to the end, or maybe she wanted to
This is probably because the idea of letting her maternal nephew marry Miaoqing was rejected before she could even express it.
"Her brothers will not harm her." Xu Da smiled lightly.
How could such a little trick of the younger generation be hidden from him? But to be honest, he didn't resent it. At least it was much better than Zhu Yuanzhang's overbearing attitude.
