Chapter Ninety-Seven: Temporary Settlement
Sure enough, within two days, the news came from the house that the two children of the Liu family had been picked up.
When he heard the news, Zhou Huan was accompanying the old lady in the old lady's yard, and Zhou Ru was standing next to the old lady at the same time.
"Old lady, the two young masters have already arrived in the capital."
Zhou Ru looked at the old lady with a smile, then turned around and brought a cup of ginseng soup to the old lady.
The old lady nodded and looked at the begonia flowers in the pot in front of her. "The flowers are blooming better and better, and the house is still a little lively, isn't it? Huan'er? ”
As she spoke, the old lady's eyes turned to Zhou Huan, who was silent. These days, she bothered to let Zhou Huan come over often, but this girl is still silent.
"That's what the old lady said."
To Zhou Ru's surprise, Zhou Huan actually nodded in agreement.
After all, the matter of the Liu family before should also be a hurdle that Zhou Huan could not overcome. So Zhou Ru thought that Zhou Huan would block too much in this matter.
"It's just that the old lady, Huan'er has a little suggestion." Zhou Huan hooked his lips and smiled, and said to the old lady.
"Old lady, there have been a lot of things happening in the house recently, do you want to choose a suitable day for the two younger brothers to come back."
Looking at Zhou Huan's sincere appearance in front of her, the old lady didn't want to say anything, so she had to nod and respond.
Zhou Huan is now in charge of the family, and she is also a quick person, so she soon found someone to calculate a suitable day.
"Yuxi, it's up to you for two days."
After Zhou Huan arranged everything, he gave instructions to Yuxi, and then Yuxi left the mansion.
Yuxi's destination is Wanfu Building, and the place that Zhou Huan arranged for the two children is also Wanfu Building.
Soon, there's going to be a great show going on there!
"Miss, today is a grand event in the capital, you have to dress up well." Rong Zhi was busy following Zhou Huan's side, changing Zhou Huan's clothes one after another.
In the end, it wasn't until Zhou Huan wore an aqua blue flowing wave skirt that Rong Zhi nodded with satisfaction. "Today, all the women in the capital will go to the streets, and the young lady can't be left behind."
Zhou Huan smiled, "Those people are looking for a good husband, but I already have a husband." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Huan suddenly sighed.
If nothing else, she just suddenly remembered that she had never dressed herself well because she was alone. Because of this, she really can't understand a lot of the joy of her daughter's family.
"That's it."
Zhou Huan casually pointed to a hairpin, but Rong Zhi smiled coquettishly. "Miss, sure enough, the prince understands your hobbies."
It turned out that this hairpin was sent by the king of Chu.
For a while, Zhou Huan suddenly recalled a lot of pictures in his mind. But except for the scene of meeting at the beginning, Qi Yu was so vivid in her memory.
"As long as you talk a lot, remember to prepare small rice balls for me when you come back in the evening." Zhou Huan got up and gave instructions behind him, and then walked towards the door.
At the door of the Zhou Mansion, all the maids and ladies gathered together. Zhou Huan looked at the people who were laughing and chatting from a distance, but there was a kind of alienation in his heart.
This kind of family life, I'm afraid she won't be able to go through it in her life.
"Big sister, you're here." Zhou Meng, who was not far away, immediately walked to Zhou Huan's side when he saw Zhou Huan coming.
Zhou Meng took Zhou Huan's hand and said happily: "Big sister, wait a ride with me in a carriage." ”
Zhou Huan didn't answer, but raised his eyes and swept around the people around him. The old lady had already gotten into the carriage, while the Lin family glanced at Zhou Meng with dissatisfaction and went back to his carriage by himself.
Zhou Huan knew it in his heart and shook his head at Zhou Meng.
And Zhou Meng glanced at his mother, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry, sister."
It was the Qin clan, who stood there and nodded at Zhou Huan.
Zhou Huan is the eldest lady of the Zhou family, and she is now in charge of the family, so the housekeeper has already prepared a sedan chair for her. If it weren't for the old lady's message last night, how could she be standing alone now.
Finally, the old lady in the carriage spoke, "Huan'er, don't hurry up." ”
For a moment, Zhou Meng was stunned and looked at the old lady in confusion. And Zhou Ru, who came later, was even more annoyed, she heard that the old lady's palanquin was arranged with a soft collapse, and she originally thought that it was ......
When Zhou Meng saw Zhou Ru, he suddenly had a coquettish smile on his face. "Second sister, I originally thought it would be yours."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Meng cautiously turned around and left like a child who had done something wrong. It seems that the sentence just now is really unintentional.
In the carriage, the old lady who had been sleeping with her eyes closed all the time spoke: "Huan'er, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Huan was stunned, "The old lady is saying that Huan'er has never given us young ladies the favor of the old lady in the mansion?" ”
The old lady didn't speak, and Zhou Huan continued to answer on her own.
"But Huan'er thinks that I am the eldest lady of the Zhou family, and these favors should also be deserved."
The old lady narrowed her eyes, "You girl really doesn't know what to do." ”
After Mama Zhang, who had been waiting on the side, heard the old lady say this, she sweated for the eldest lady in her heart.
Who knows, Zhou Huan suddenly grinned. "Huan'er didn't say anything wrong, it was the old lady who gave me grace, since the old lady thinks I'm worthy, then why should Huan'er be worth it."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Huan smiled at Mama Zhang on the side.
However, it was deserted in the carriage for a long time. Finally, the old lady also laughed heartily, "You girl, you are really ......"
Zhou Huan smiled and nodded, "Huan'er is just the granddaughter of the old lady." ”
Zhou Huan knew that the old lady was testing herself, but she didn't have the slightest fear, in her opinion, these were all as they should be.
After all, for the Zhou family in front of him, he was originally a young lady who came halfway. So the old lady will spoil herself, but it is inevitable that she will have nostalgia in her heart. So what Zhou Huan has to do is to let the old lady know that she is the young lady of the Zhou family.
Soon, the group arrived at the most lively place in the lantern festival.
The old lady was not suitable for walking much because of her old age, so she could only find a nearby restaurant and sit in. Zhou Huan didn't like these bustles either, so he always accompanied the old lady.
"Old lady, the lights outside are all beautiful." Zhou Meng, who had just come back from the person who spoke, looked like they were already having a good time.
It's Zhou Ru, who hasn't come back, and I don't know what good-looking lanterns I encountered outside.
The old lady looked at the granddaughters in front of her with a smile, her biggest wish was that the Zhou family would continue to prosper like this, and now her hope can only be pinned on these children.
"It's good to look at, Huan'er, you can also go out and have a look."
When Zhou Huan was about to shake his head and refuse, he saw Mama Zhang next to the old lady giving him a look.
"Which one do you like, old lady, I'll go find you a lamp and come back."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Young people just go out for a walk, it's useless to stay here all the time." ”
Mama Zhang smiled and said to Zhou Huan: "Miss, the old lady actually likes the lotus lantern very much. ”
Zhou Huan responded with a smile, and then was about to turn around and leave, when Zhou Meng actually followed. "I'll accompany my big sister to have a look."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Meng turned around and left here without waiting for Zhou Huan's answer, and walked in front of him and began to lead the way.
The old lady and Mama Zhang, when they talked to Zhou Huan, they completely ignored her. Thinking of this, Zhou Ru couldn't help but clench his palm tightly.
Zhou Huan and Zhou Meng came together, and Zhou Meng took the initiative to pretend to be a good person all the way, talking about things vigorously. And Zhou Huan looked like he loved to listen or not, and finally when Zhou Meng felt that it was not interesting to stay with Zhou Huan any longer, he met the Qin family.
"Third lady, you and the eldest sister will talk first, and I'll go over there first."
Zhou Huan said Zhou Meng's eyes and looked over, not far away were the people from the Chu Palace, but it seemed that Qi Yu was not there.
Then Zhou Huan put her eyes on Zhou Meng's body again, looking at the crazy woman in front of her, she was surprised in her heart, Zhou Meng suddenly did this to herself, wouldn't it be because of Qi Yu?
Looking at Zhou Meng's distant back, Zhou Huan shook his head. The Qin family on the side naturally saw something, "If the eldest lady is busy, she can also change the day." ”
Zhou Huan and the Qin clan both saw not far away at the same time, Qi Yu suddenly appeared in the crowd, and Zhou Meng pounced on him with a shy.
Zhou Huan frowned, "No, I finally have time today, so I can't waste it." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Huan turned around and took the initiative to lead the way in front, and then Qin hurriedly followed. The place where the two of them came was the place that Yinyue arranged for An'er, and today it was for the Qin family to meet An'er.
"Ma'am, please come here." Zhou Huan looked at the Qin family behind him, and then took the initiative to push the door open.
As the door creaked open, the vague figure huddled in the corner shrank a few more minutes.
"An'er, don't be afraid, it's my sister." Zhou Huan walked to the child's side and touched the child's head.
Fortunately, An'er still remembers her.
Since experiencing such a thing that day, An'er has become like this, and she has a little more fear of the environment around her.
In other words, there is a slight difference between An'er and a healthy child, and Zhou Huan doesn't want to deceive the Qin family, so he wants to give her a chance to choose.
"Madam, An'er was a little stimulated because of what happened before, so she ......"
Qin Shi looked at the child in front of her distressedly, she walked cautiously, and then walked to the trembling child. Then he slowly stretched out his hand and tried to touch An'er's head.
Zhou Huan on the side also looked at the Qin family with wide eyes, An'er has been reluctant to let the living come close these days.
