Chapter 185: Favoring One Over the Other

Zhou Jiaying looked at Peng Dasheng's disappearing back in confusion, and muttered, "Qi Yu disturbed Cousin Xinyue's matter, who else could there be besides me?" Isn't Father-in-law Peng reluctant to seek the near and far! ”

"Who is Qi Yu?" Li Shiqing asked.

"Do you remember the poisoning of someone at the dinner party during the winter hunt?" Zhou Jiaying asked.

Li Shiqing nodded.

"Qi Yu is the one who was poisoned. He is the son of Chengping. ”

Zhou Jiaying also learned from Hu Xinyue later, "From time to time, he came to the door or waited outside the house for his cousin Crescent, either giving gifts or singing praises, which made Cousin Crescent annoyed." ”

Li Xu frowned, Hu Xinyue was Hao Yue's sweetheart, and Hao Yue had entrusted him to take care of one or two before leaving.

Qi Yu is a gentleman in Tianhao City, and he has deceived the hearts of many girls with his good looks.

can't let him pester Hu Xinyue like this.

Regardless of whether Hu Xinyue is unpretentious to Qi Yu or not, from his point of view, he must remove obstacles for Hao Yue, so as not to damage the friendship between the two countries.

The maid sent by Hu Xinyue to look for people quickly brought out the steward of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the steward greeted Qi Yu politely and firmly, and a group of talents accompanied them into the mansion.

Hu Xinyue was in the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and after a busy day, she retired and went back to the courtyard to change clothes and freshen up, and came back to have a banquet with them later.

Zhou Jiaying took a group of friends to the courtyard where her mother lived.

Because her mother was in confinement, it was inconvenient to see the male guests, so she asked the nurse to take Zhou Jiaying's younger brother Wan Ge'er to the next room for everyone to see.

Li Chu clasped his arms to his chest and looked at his infant brother behind the crowd, and complained silently in his heart, this little yellow and red monkey still has a small pimple on his face, no matter how he looks at it, he can't hook up with the white fat brother that Zhou Jiaying boasted about.

"Zhou Jiaying, is this your chubby brother?" I couldn't help but question the exit.

Zhou Jiaying rarely did not refute, but educated earnestly, "The little doll is wrinkled when she is born, and she is small, but my late brother weighs seven pounds and six taels!" ”

The nurse hurriedly agreed, "Isn't that?" The little boy is strong and ruddy, and when the moon is full, he will definitely be white and fat! ”

Zhou Jiaying raised her head and glanced at Li Chu with a smug expression.

As soon as she saw that her late brother was the same as Li Chu's reaction, she later understood these truths after listening to the teachings of her elders.

Li Chu shrugged and was noncommittal.

Zhou Jiaying looked back at Brother Wan with a smile, "Look at how long his arms and legs are, when he is older, I will teach him kung fu, and when he grows up, he will become a general!" ”

"Poof!"

Li Chu smiled again and touched his nose, "When your brother is older, you should have gotten married, how can you have the opportunity to teach him kung fu?" ”

"Or are you going to stay in Zhenbei Hou Mansion all the time to be an old girl? Even then, your three-legged cat kung fu teaching your brother is very worrying to hear. If you don't teach your brother badly, maybe I'll be more effective than you. ”

"Li Chu." Zhou Jiaying popped out two words from between her teeth and squinted gloomily.

Li Chu raised his hand, "It's just telling the truth." Okay, okay, I'll go to Lan Yuan, and I'm not here to get in your way. ”

Li Xu stood up, the room was full of female dependents, and it was not appropriate for a man to stay for a long time, "Fourth Emperor Brother, I will go with you." ”

There were a few friends left in the house, and the girl's family had a natural joy for the baby, and for a moment squeaked and said that it was going to get up.

"Why does Brother Wan'er keep his eyes closed?"

"My mother said that the baby before the full moon can sleep for ten hours a day," Zhou Jiaying gushed, "and after the full moon, she will sleep less and less." ”

"He's so small, only as long as my arm."

"Look, he's eating, is he hungry?"

The nurse smiled and explained, "I have just been fed, so I should not be hungry." ”

Zhou Jiaying saw that there were no elders on the left and right, so she couldn't help but whisper, "Can I hug him?" ”

Because Zhou Jiaying is the master, the nurse is naturally not easy to refuse, so she has to talk carefully, "The newborn baby's neck and back are soft, and he can't be hugged upright, and it is easy to hurt him." When you hug him, you have to support his back, neck and head, Miss, you see-"

The nurse demonstrated, Zhou Jiaying imitated, and then the nurse carefully put the late brother on Zhou Jiaying's arm.

"Hey, I've got my brother in my arms."

Zhou Jiaying was stiff, nervous and happy, how to see how cute the younger brother in her arms was, "Brother Wan, I am your own sister, in the future, my sister will cover you, if someone bullies you, my sister will beat him!" ”

Thinking that it was in response to Zhou Jiaying's words, Brother Wan suddenly burst into tears, which frightened Zhou Jiaying's hands and almost threw the swaddling clothes out.

Everyone was so frightened that they shouted in unison, 'Be careful!' ’

Zhou Jiaying reacted quickly and took Brother Wan'er back into her arms suddenly.

This scene was coincidentally seen by the old lady who came in, and only heard an angry roar, "Zhou Jiaying! ”

The old lady rolled over like the wind, and carefully hugged the late brother like a treasure, glaring at Zhou Jiaying angrily, "You monkey spirit is not stable, didn't you tell you that you can't hold your brother?" My late brother can't let you hug you until he's half a year old! ”

Zhou Jiaying flattened her mouth, her eyes were red aggrieved, and she hung her head like a mosquito and whispered, "I didn't mean to, I just wanted to hug my brother." ”

"Grandmother, don't you hurt me if you have a younger brother?" With a crying voice.

The old lady was stunned, looked at her poor granddaughter, and couldn't help laughing, "You monkey spirit!" When did your grandmother say she didn't hurt you? ”

"You're fierce to me!" Justifiably accused.

"You won't let me hold my brother!" Sentence after sentence.

"You just don't want to see me!" Tears welled up.

The old lady angrily and funny put her late brother in the nurse's arms, "Our monkey spirit is jealous of my brother?" Is this grievance back to when I was a child? ”

She hugged Zhou Jiaying in her arms and patted her, "How can grandmother not hurt you if she has a late brother?" Grandmother is just worried that you have hurt your late brother with your rough hands and feet, and you will definitely be sad when you look back. ”

"Really?" Zhou Jiaying raised her teary eyes.

"When did Grandmother lie to you?"

Zhou Jiaying burst into tears and laughed.

"It's not too early, take your good sisters to dinner," the old lady smiled lovingly, "no matter how old you are, you are not afraid of being embarrassed if you cry your nose." ”

Shamefully agreed, Zhou Jiaying took two friends to the dining room for a banquet.

At that time, Hu Xinyue had already freshened up and changed her clothes, and the four of them ate together in the dining room of the inner courtyard, talking and laughing.

"Sister Xinyue, does the Empress Dowager's leg injury get better?" Jiang Shuli remembered that his master had mentioned the Empress Dowager's injury, and he couldn't help but be concerned.

Hu Xinyue sighed leisurely, "The old man is most afraid of winter, the weather is cold, and the qi and blood in his body are slow." The Empress Dowager's leg injury has been relieved, but she has a cold these days, and I am afraid that she will have to use medicine for a while to get better. ”
