Chapter 642 Master Zhuang

"You picked so many peach blossoms, are you planning to give them as a birthday gift to your mother?"

"Yeah." The two little guys nodded heavily.

"My sister and I just picked them and were planning to give them to mother." Chu Zimo said.

"That's perfect. I have specially prepared a birthday gift for my sister-in-law and was just about to send it to her. Let's go together." Chu Jinzhou said as he walked forward while holding Chu Siyu in one hand and Chu Zimo in the other.

The people behind hurriedly caught up carrying boxes.

When I arrived at the yard where Zhuang Qingning and Chu Jinnian lived, I saw Zhuang Qingsui sitting in the yard drinking tea.

"Sister Sui." Chu Jinzhou's eyes lit up, he walked over quickly and said with a smile, "I knew you would come today."

"Brother Jinzhou is back too." Zhuang Qingsui was originally only one year younger than Chu Jinzhou. Now she was already a grown-up girl who had passed the coming-of-age ceremony. Her height was higher than Chu Jinzhou's shoulders. She smiled and narrowed her eyes. "You are here to congratulate sister on her birthday, right?"

"Yes, I counted the days and rushed back early." Chu Jinzhou replied with a smile, looking around, "Why is only sister Sui drinking tea here alone? Where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

It would be fine if we didn't mention this. Once this matter was mentioned, Zhuang Qingsui sighed helplessly, "Guess how my brother-in-law will celebrate my sister's birthday on such an important day?"

"ah?"

Chu Jinzhou's expression suddenly changed, "Could it be that these two people went out to have fun and have some free time?"

"Why are you so surprised? This is not the first time." Zhuang Qingsui took another sip of tea calmly.

“That’s true…”

Chu Jinzhou scratched his ear helplessly.

If we count back, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the couple secretly went out to enjoy the river and the countryside. If we count back further, during the Lantern Festival, the couple went to the temple fair and did not bring their friends with them...

This is definitely not the first time, he is a repeat offender.

"But, these two little guys..." Chu Jinzhou looked at Chu Siyu, who was staring at him with her round, grape-sized eyes in his arms, and Chu Zimo who was standing below, and held his forehead with his hand helplessly.

Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning knew for sure that the two of them would come back today, so they felt safe and bold to leave the twins at home.

"Come here Siyu, let your aunt hold you." Zhuang Qingsui reached out and took Chu Siyu over, pinched her little nose, and also pinched Chu Zimo's little cheek beside her, "Can your aunt play with you two today?"

"Okay." The two little guys nodded in unison, but both pairs of eyes stayed on Chu Jinzhou for a long time at the same time.

They also wanted Chu Jinzhou to play with them.

"You two." Zhuang Qingsui said unhappily, "Your third uncle will play with you too."

"Okay!" The two little guys still agreed firmly, but the tone of their voices was several degrees higher than when they agreed to Zhuang Qingsui, and the sweetness also increased by several plus signs.

Alas, Chu Jinzhou is indeed the one most liked by the two children.

Zhuang Qingsui suddenly felt a little frustrated.

Chu Jinzhou smiled and ordered someone to open the box he brought and take out the contents for everyone to see.

Glass mirrors, Western clocks, small pieces of glittering stones, and antiques that look extremely old...

Chu Zimo and Chu Siyu were very excited. They picked up this and touched that. They were all very curious.

"Uncle San, Uncle San, what is this?" Chu Zimo asked Chu Jinzhou while holding a long tube-like object.

"This is called Clairvoyance." Chu Jinzhou took it, stretched the tube a little longer, and adjusted the distance to his eyes. "It can see things far away. Can you take a look?"

"Let me take a look." When Chu Zimo heard that he could see things far away, he hurriedly put his eyes close to his own and looked up at the sky with his telescope. Sure enough, he saw the flying bird, which was originally as small as a bean, now flapping its wings.

"He really is a real clairvoyant." Chu Zimo was very excited. He called the person next to him to move a stool over so that he could look further away.

"Try it first. If you are familiar with it, I will take you to the top of the city wall to have a look. The higher you stand, the farther you can see."

Chu Jinzhou smiled and looked down at Chu Siyu who was fiddling with those glittering stones, as well as some conchs and shells.

"If you like these, Third Uncle will help you find a coral next time." Chu Jinzhou touched Chu Siyu's round little head, "I'll put it in your room and use it as a pillow for you."

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Chu Siyu giggled.

As expected, Chu Jinzhou is better at taking care of children than her.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhuang Qingsui took a sip of tea and sighed again.

"Here, this is for you." Chu Jinzhou took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Zhuang Qingsui.

"What is this?" Zhuang Qingsui opened it in surprise and took out an oval, waxy yellow, translucent, hard stone-like object from the purse.

Inside the oval, there are several flowers as big as rice grains, which look lifelike.

"Is this... Amber?"

"Yes, it's amber." Chu Jinzhou nodded. "I got it by chance. Although amber is not particularly precious, the wonder of this piece is that there is a flower inside. It has a very good meaning, so I brought it back to give to you."

"Thank you, Brother Jinzhou." Zhuang Qingsui couldn't let go of this piece of amber and thanked Chu Jinzhou repeatedly.

"Why are you being so polite to me? I'm glad you like it." Chu Jinzhou sat down and said with a smile, "I heard from my elder brother and sister-in-law that you, sister Sui, are going to leave the academy?"

"Well, I've already told my wife and the headmaster that I will no longer study in the academy at the end of the year." Zhuang Qingsui said, "I plan to open a school in town to teach girls of school age."

"It is said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, but for a woman, books are necessary. Reading can teach one etiquette and reason, especially since a woman will shoulder the responsibility of supporting her husband and educating her children in the future. If a woman can understand the greater good, her children will naturally be taught to understand reason and know when to advance and retreat."

"So my school does not require students to take exams and study. The most important thing is to learn the principles in books and understand the principles of being a human being."

"Sister Sui is right." Chu Jinzhou nodded in agreement. "After this school opens, I can no longer call you Sister Sui. I have to call you Master Zhuang."

"Brother Jinzhou is teasing me again." Zhuang Qingsui chuckled, "But then again, Brother Jinzhou has been out for three or four years. I'm afraid you've traveled all over these famous mountains and rivers. Now that you're back, will Brother Jinzhou go out again?"
