Opening a shop doesn't happen overnight.

Especially this rouge gouache shop.

If you want to make a big brand, you have to have someone to help bring the goods.

Unlike the roast duck shop, Xia Qiqi has now begun to train the master of roast duck.

When the masters finish their studies, she can let go of the roast duck shop at any time.

But these rouge gouache shops can't be made.

At least, in the past year or two, she has to do a lot of things herself.

"Time? You ......"

"Princess, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not sure when I'll leave." Xia Qiqi Dao.

At the beginning, the plan was to meet the Luo family, and even Lu Jiu didn't even want to see the prince and princess at first.

If it weren't for the fact that King Yan said so many times, and they didn't have anything to do, Lu Jiu might not have come to the door at all.

He always seems to be a little indifferent to family affection.

"Qiqi, can't you stay a little longer?"

Princess Yu had a hunch that once Xia Qiqi left, her Ah Jiu would also leave with her.

If she wants to see her son again, she really doesn't know what year or month it is.

"Princess, I can't give you a definite answer to this." Xia Qiqi said.

Although, if she wanted to stay, Lu Jiu wouldn't say anything.

But she didn't want to force Lu Jiu.

She hoped that Lu Jiu could choose the path she wanted to take, instead of forcing herself because of her.

"Good...... All right! Princess Yu said helplessly.

"Qiqi, there is something, I want to beg you, can you ...... Can you tell me how Ah Jiu lived before he went to your house? ”

King Yan told her that what could be found was when Lu Jiu was in Xia Qiqi's house.

It's ordinary, but it's happy.

But before going to Qiqi's house, no one knows.

Except for Qiqi and Ah Jiu.

"Princess, do you really want to know?"

Regarding Lu Jiu's past, Xia Qiqi actually didn't want to mention it.

Maybe Lu Jiu himself thinks it's nothing, but in Xia Qiqi's heart, it is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Hearing Xia Qiqi say this, Princess Yu felt her heart tighten, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something.

"Qiqi, Ah Jiu is my son, no matter what life he lived in the past, I ...... I want to know. ”

This is a mother's longing for everything her son has had in the past.

Except for Xia Qiqi, maybe Princess Yu will never find a second person to know the truth.

"When I knew him, he hunted wild beasts in the mountains, and ate raw flesh and drank raw blood, and he ...... It was raised by wolves. Xia Qiqi said.

"God, my Ah Jiu, he ......" Princess Yu covered her mouth, unable to believe what she heard.

"The wolf taught him about how to hunt and how to survive. At that time, I almost served him lunch, and then by chance, I took him down the mountain.

At that time, he could not speak, only howl wolf. The name I gave him Lu Jiu, nine means a long time, and it always means that I hope he can live well, as for the surname, choose any one.

In the beginning, he followed me and did everything, I took him to set up a stall and let him go to the dock to move goods. Ah Jiu looks very good, and when he is there, many girls will come to line up to buy things.

I also told people I knew that he had a broken throat and couldn't speak. For the next three years, I taught him to speak and to teach him some of the laws of human society. Some he will listen, some will not.

The law of the jungle seems to be something imprinted in his bones, and no one can change it, not even me. ”

Xia Qiqi had no reservations about Princess Yu.

As she said, Lu Jiu is her son, and she, as a mother, wants to know everything about her son.

Moreover, Lu Jiu's life experience in the past ten years was not caused by her.

She is also a victim and has raised other people's children for more than ten years.

Even his own son has not been hugged for a day.

Princess Yu cried after hearing Lu Jiu's past.

Xia Qiqi didn't know how to comfort her, if it was her, her own child, was replaced, and she still lived like that, she couldn't accept it.

"Princess, it's not that Ah Jiu refuses to recognize you, nor does he blame you, but he doesn't have that kind of concept at all. Parental affection, he doesn't have. ”

Xia Qiqi tends to call this emotion empathy, but Lu Jiu can't empathize with most people.

On the street, when he sees a very poor person, he will not feel sad, nor will he feel heartache.

Xia Qiqi even felt that those people, in his eyes, might be the food in reserve.

It's just that he abstained from raw flesh and raw blood.

People, or animals, are no longer attractive to him.

"No...... No, if he likes you, then he must be able to feel affection. Or...... Or I'm doubly nice to him, or...... Qiqi, you give him a child, and when he becomes a father, he will understand this feeling. ”

Princess Yu grabbed Xia Qiqi's hand, "Qiqi, can you hurry up and marry him?" I want Ah Jiu to become a complete person, Qiqi ......"

Princess Yu was very emotional.

She didn't want anything.

She just wants her son to be normal.

She wants her son to be like a normal person, who can cry, laugh, and make trouble.

She wants her son to feel family affection and friendship.

Xia Qiqi's hand was tightly held by Princess Yu, and she felt a little painful.

But she didn't withdraw her hand.

What Princess Yu thought, she hadn't thought about it.

She also hopes that Ah Jiu will become a normal person.

But she often asked herself, do you have to be like everyone else to be called a person?

Ah Jiu won't hurt anyone easily now.

He also laughs, although he is indifferent in front of outsiders, but in front of her, he has a smile.

Did she have to turn him into what she imagined him to be?

"Princess, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request for the time being, I want to respect Ah Jiu's choice.

As for getting married and having children, go with the flow together. Xia Qiqi said.

She doesn't like to be calculated, and she also doesn't like Lu Jiu to be calculated.

Whether it's true or not.

"Right...... I'm sorry. Princess Yu realized her gaffe and took the initiative to apologize to Xia Qiqi.

"I can understand you, but many things really can't be changed artificially!" Xia Qiqi shook his head.

"I ...... I know! Princess Yu nodded.

King Yu, King Yan and Lu Jiu took a turn around King Yu's Mansion, and King Yu told Lu Jiu everything in the palace.

However, Lu Jiu's interest was not high, and he looked in the direction of the pavilion from time to time, so there was no way, so King Yu had to end the game early.

Back in the pavilion, they found that the topic of Xia Qiqi and Princess Yu had changed again.

This time, it became fortune-telling and constellation.

The men couldn't understand, and they couldn't interject if they wanted to speak, so they looked at each other helplessly.

However, no matter how well Princess Yu covered it up, King Yu still found that she had traces of crying.

After lunch, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu left Yuwang's Mansion.
