Chapter 201: Family
Zhou Boxu is thirty years old, he is in a high position and holds a lot of power, and he has never been afraid of anyone on weekdays.
But now facing an eight-year-old child, he was a little frightened when he looked at Shang Zhuang Yun's inquiring eyes.
I want to explain, but I don't know how to speak.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense and delicate for a while.
Yu Lan knew that Zhuang Yun was smart and sensitive, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand Zhou Boxu and therefore dislike it, so he hurriedly said: "No, it's just that I have some feelings about the past." ”
"Is that all?" Zhuang Yun was suspicious.
Zhuang Yun knows about Zhou Boxu and Yu Zheng Yulan's acquaintance since childhood, but he doesn't know the emotional entanglement between Yu Lan and Zhou Boxu, so he just thinks it's an ordinary reminiscence.
"Well, this is in your uncle's mansion, and no one dares to bully me." Yu Lan smiled softly and took out the chestnuts wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and gave them to Zhuang Yun.
Zhuang Yun thought about it, and sat next to Yu Lan and ate chestnuts.
In the end, it's just a child, and emotions come and go quickly.
Zhou Boxu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat slowly, don't choke on your saliva." Yu Lan handed her cup of tea at just the right temperature to Zhuang Yun.
Zhuang Yun took a sip and ate the chestnuts again.
Zhou Boxu, who was sitting opposite them, looked at the picture of the mother and son getting along warmly, and his expression softened unconsciously.
Yu Lan, who has transformed from a girl to a mother, has lost the delicate and bright beauty of her youth, but she has precipitated grace and gentleness, like a pearl and beautiful jade, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Zhou Boxu looked at it, his eyes deep and dark.
"Hey, Yun'er is here." Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng walked into the hall hand in hand.
Zhuang Yun put down the chestnuts in his hand and got up to salute: "Uncle, aunt." ”
"Well, sit down." Yu Zheng bowed his head and sat down with Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu glanced at Zhou Boxu and asked, "How long has Yun'er been here?" ”
Zhuang Yun said: "Not long after I arrived, the chestnuts haven't been eaten yet." ”
Jiang Shu glanced at the chestnuts in front of Zhuang Yun when he heard this, and gently curled the corners of his lips.
In this way, Yu Lan has been alone with Boxu for a while, and everything that should be said should be said.
Emotional matters can't be mastered by others, and they can only add fuel to the fire to such a point, and the rest depends on Zhou Boxu himself.
Zhuang Yun didn't know what adults were thinking, and concentrated on eating chestnuts. When he ate the last chestnut, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, Jiang Ning, arrived.
"Sister." Jiang Ningren was still outside the hall, but his cheerful voice had drifted into the hall.
"Master Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, please inside." Steward Mo led the man into the hall and turned to inspect the table.
Jiang Ning, who had a bright smile on his face, walked into the hall briskly, and was stunned for a moment when he saw that there were still people in the hall, a little at a loss.
He had seen Yu Lan, but he didn't know Zhuang Yun and Zhou Boxu at all.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were also a little surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it.
Today is Yu Zheng's birthday, they can come, and Yu Lan, as a sister, should naturally come.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Jiang Ning." Yu Zheng got up and saluted, and then introduced to them: "This is my sister, this is Yun'er." This is Zhou Boxu, the commander of the palace in front of the palace, my best friend. ”
When he said the last four words, Yu Zheng deliberately glanced at Zhou Boxu.
Zhou Boxu's eyes flashed, and he bowed with Zhuang Yun.
Jiang Ning and the three of them also hurriedly returned the gift.
"Dad, mother, brother." Jiang Shu got up and helped Jiang's mother to sit down.
Jiang Ning, who was originally jubilant, became cramped because of the presence of outsiders and his noble status, sitting upright with his back and his hands on his knees.
He had something to say to Jiang Shu, but his lips moved but he couldn't say a word.
The same goes for Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.
Seeing their restraints, Yu Lanwen smiled: "It's all your own family, you don't have to be restrained." ”
Own family.
When Zhou Boxu heard these three words, he hooked his lips almost imperceptibly.
At the end, Yu Lan said to Zhuang Yun: "Yun'er, call me uncle." ”
Zhuang Yun was obedient and polite, looked at Jiang Ning and called out seriously: "Little uncle." ”
Suddenly becoming an 'uncle', Jiang Ning was a little at a loss and a little excited.
He was only a few years older than Zhuang Yun, but he was called 'uncle', and he inexplicably felt like he had picked up a big bargain.
Because of Yu Lan's reconciliation and the fact that there were no more people, the atmosphere quickly eased up.
Jiang's mother sat next to Jiang Shu and asked in a low voice about Jiang Shu's pregnancy.
Jiang Shu replied softly.
"By the way, we've brought the medicine girl here. Although there is a doctor in the palace, he is a man after all, and it is not as convenient as a woman. "Mother Jiang is well-intentioned and thoughtful.
Jiang Shu was slightly surprised, looked at Jiang's father and said, "What about Dad?" ”
Father Jiang patted his leg and said, "I'm already fine, and now I can walk without crutches, and I don't need a doctor." ”
"But......" Jiang Shu was still a little uneasy.
Mother Jiang took her hand and said, "Only when there is a doctor to take care of you, can we rest assured." Your father is fine, and there are many doctors outside, so don't worry. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Shu had no choice but to nod and instructed Tan Yu to take the medicine girl back to the main hospital first, and then settle her later.
When it was about to get dark, Sun Yijun and Yu Yuan came.
The banquet had already been prepared, and as soon as the two arrived, everyone moved to the flower hall to eat.
Although they were men and women, they were seated separately, and they just filled the table.
Yu Zheng ate two bites of longevity noodles, and after ordering his subordinates to leave, everyone picked up chopsticks to eat.
The banquet is very rich, and the table is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. There are both seasonal dishes and tributes, and those who look at it are dazzled and don't know what to eat first.
Jiang Shu and Sun Yijun looked at the table full of delicacies, and some regretted that they had eaten too much in the afternoon, resulting in a full stomach now that they couldn't eat at all.
Noticing the strangeness of the two, Yu Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you eat?" So many dishes are not to the taste? ”
Jiang Shu and Sun Yijun glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.
Yu Lan chuckled: "They ate too many snacks in the afternoon, I'm afraid they have more than enough stomach and not enough stomach." ”
Although Yu Lan also ate and drank with them all afternoon, he was not as greedy as them, he didn't eat much, and he could still use some more food at this time.
Jiang Shu and Sun Yijun regretted not falling, they could only pick up what they liked to taste, and they couldn't eat any more.
The two of them wanted to eat but couldn't eat like this, which amused everyone, and the atmosphere in the banquet was very relaxed and harmonious.
"It turns out that my aunt will be like me, so gluttonous that she can't eat." Zhuang Yun seemed to have discovered something terrible and was amazed.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shu was embarrassed, and his face turned crimson.
Yu Zheng served her a bowl of soup and said softly: "Drink some soup, I'll let the kitchen keep it for you, and eat it when you're hungry at night." ”
Although Jiang Shu couldn't eat at this time, she didn't fight hunger with snacks, and she would definitely be hungry at night.
Seeing Yu Zheng so meticulous, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were completely relieved, relieved, and happily ate and said goodbye home.
Yu Lan and the others left together, and Yu Yuan drank wine, with a little drunkenness.
"Brother Zheng, call me early next time, I ate today, and I couldn't talk to you and play chess, so I didn't have a good time."
Sun Yijun pulled him and said angrily: "Hurry up and get in the car, you!" ”
Yu Yuan came in her car, so naturally he had to use her car to send him back.
Walking to the gate of the palace, Yu Lan said: "Okay, you go back, it's cold outside." ”
"Okay, sister, slow down." Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng stopped and watched them get into the carriage.
