Chapter 58 Brother Zhou

Su Zhenzhen felt Zhou Ge'er's soft little arms. She gently lifted Zhou Ge'er's chubby little face and said, "Zhou Ge'er, your mother and father didn't mean it. They just love you too much and wanted to play a joke on you. Auntie has scolded them. Zhou Ge'er's father and mother won't dare to do it again. Zhou Ge'er, please forgive them this time, okay?"

Zhou Ge'er was thinking hard, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

Gu Hanyue looked at Zhou Ge'er with heartache, unable to get a word in. Su Zhenzhen continued, "If Zhou Ge'er's parents bully him again, can you come to me to support him? He's my little cotton-padded jacket, and I love him so much."

Hearing this, he blinked his long, curled eyelashes. The tears that had been rolling in his eyes for too long fell down with the blinking movement. His little baby voice was very cute, "Zhou Ge'er loves aunt the most and listens to aunt."

He turned his head again, his eyes filled with admiration and intimacy, "Mother, you can't lie to Zhou Ge'er, I listen to my aunt. If you and father bully me again, I will go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to find my aunt and uncle." Looking at Gu Hanyue, he even said something big, "My uncle really likes Zhou Ge'er, hum."

Gu Hanyue smiled, with a slight redness at the corners of her eyes. She nodded repeatedly and tentatively hugged Zhou Ge'er.

She almost cried for joy when she finally held her chubby, fair son in her arms.

Gu Hanyue would never dare to do that again.

She did not follow the current rule that the elders' words were above everything else. Seeing that her husband and father-in-law did not have such a one-man show towards their children, she did not want Zhou Ge'er to become like her brother and father in the future.

Although she is not smart enough, she can learn.

Marrying into the Su family was like entering a blessed home. Her husband only had a maid before marriage, but he sent her away after marriage. He was not lustful and did not take concubines.

There is no need to engage in intrigue with concubines all day long.

Although she wanted to have more children, her eldest son Zhou Ge'er meant something different to them.

Under the patriarchal system, 70% of the family business belongs to the eldest son both emotionally and logically. This has been the custom for thousands of years.

Of course, there are also factors such as favoritism or the decline of the eldest son's family.

Seeing Gu Hanyue and Zhou Ge'er's mother being so affectionate, Su Zhenzhen also got off the swing and walked to the pavilion to sit down.

After washing his hands, he picked up a piece of milk cake and stuffed it into his mouth, his movements quick and elegant.

He thought it was delicious, so he fed another piece to Zhou Ge'er next to him and asked casually, "Sister Gu, would you like to try it? This milk cake tastes good."

Gu Hanyan is two months younger than Su Zhenzhen, who was born in November.

She smiled timidly and said, "Thank you, Sister Su." Then she took a piece and put it in her mouth.

Su Zhenzhen smiled politely. She didn't seem to get along well with this kind of naive and sweet girl.

She's not a white lotus, she's just soft-hearted.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyan knows her limits and doesn't often chat with her alone. She comes here to accompany her sister.

Anyway, her second sister-in-law is here, so she doesn't want to join in the fun.

Gu Hanyan savored the soft and delicious milk cake with rich milk flavor, and adapted well to Su Zhenzhen's slightly distant attitude.

After all, she was the guest and Su Zhenzhen was the host. She was also the future Princess of Yan, who was deeply loved by His Majesty. Such a distant yet polite attitude was a real comfort to her.

If her elder sister had not married into the Su family and become the second young lady, she would not even be qualified to see Su Zhenzhen.

Gu Hanyue said again: "Zhenzhen, which of these do you think is the best?" She handed a note to Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen didn't take it, as she was holding a snack in her hand. Bai Zhi took it very familiarly, opened it and placed it in front of Su Zhenzhen.

She blinked curiously, "Second sister-in-law, is this for Sister Gu?"

Gu Hanyan blushed and buried her head like a quail.

Gu Hanyue glanced at the shy Gu Hanyan with a smile, "Yanyan has a soft personality. I'm afraid she'll be bullied. If I choose a wealthy family, I'm afraid they'll look down on her. If I choose a small official, I'm afraid Yanyan will suffer."

Gu Hanyue's father was the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, a fourth-rank official, not a very high-ranking position.

If it weren't for the fact that her father and Su Qiyang were classmates and good friends who arranged this marriage for her, she would never have been able to marry the second son of the Minister of Revenue.

Su Zhenzhen didn't want to help choose. Even though she had a close relationship with her second sister-in-law, this was the marriage of her second sister-in-law's younger sister, and she was not suitable to choose.

How could Su Zhenzhen not know that her second sister-in-law wanted her to patronize or help with the investigation?

But if you are neither stupid nor deaf, you will not be a family head.

She smiled and said to Gu Hanyue, "Second sister-in-law, you know I'm only familiar with Yuyu. I don't know much about the other noble ladies. I'm a lazy person. Why don't you ask mother for help?"

Gu Hanyue was a little disappointed, but she quickly straightened her expression and smiled, "Second sister-in-law forgot, Zhenzhen, you don't like socializing."

After thinking for a moment, Su Zhenzhen continued, "Second sister-in-law, when you choose a marriage for Sister Gu, remember not to choose someone with a difficult mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or sister-in-law. Don't choose someone who is greedy, lustful, fond of gambling, and unmotivated. Don't choose someone who is easily deceived, foolish, filial, and helpful to his brothers."

Gu Hanyue was also worried, "Yes, but after eliminating so many conditions, how can we choose someone?"

Gu Hanyan just lowered her head shyly and didn't raise her face, with the handkerchief wrapped around her fingers and spinning in circles.

Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "It's okay. Second sister-in-law, you'd better take your time to choose instead of rushing and making mistakes."

Gu Hanyue smiled and nodded, "Zhenzhen is absolutely right." She reached out and wiped the pastry crumbs from Zhou Ge'er's mouth.

Su Zhenzhen asked again: "Should we go to Su Yiyi's wedding banquet?" She didn't want to go because she was not familiar with the place.

But the invitations have been sent to the Su Mansion, so they are still her family.

Her father Su Qiyang was very dissatisfied with Su Yiyi marrying Prince Jin as a concubine.

To the King of Jin, his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose.

The two daughters were the Princess of Yan and the Concubine of the Prince of Jin respectively.

If it weren't for her father Jian being in the emperor's heart, she would have been a complete opportunist.

Su Zhenzhen didn't want to add makeup to Su Yiyi's makeup. She was not one to whitewash the truth. Besides, where would this put her mother?

I will go to the wedding banquet, but adding the betrothal gifts is just a dream!

Su Zhenzhen is not a saint, and she can't be a good sister to the mistress's daughter.

It would be fine if her father took the mistress in, after all, having one wife and multiple concubines was legal in ancient times.

Su Zhenzhen hates all bed-climbers, but she will not harm or abuse anyone.

I feel disgusted and dirty if I look at it for a second.

Su Yiyi's wedding banquet is scheduled for three days later, which is March 28th.

After all, she is a concubine, so there is no need to marry her formally. It is just a matter of inviting guests. However, the concubine will be included in the royal jade book.

But the wedding banquet was hastily arranged in just half a month, which was too perfunctory. It could also be seen that Prince Jin was a little dissatisfied with her.

Rong Jinyu originally thought that Su Yiyi was Su Qiyang's daughter after all, and even if she was not favored, she would not be so unkind to him.

How could he have the mood to marry a concubine after he miscalculated?

The servants in Prince Jin's Mansion also followed suit, and Su Yiyi finally got the marriage she had worked so hard to plan.

Glancing at Zhou Ge'er, Gu Hanyue nonchalantly responded to Su Zhenzhen's question, "We'll just go and give a gift and have a wedding banquet."

She is not a fool. She is so affectionate to someone who is disliked by her parents-in-law. She thinks her life is too easy, right?

Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I think so too."
