Chapter 225 Obsession
Zhuang Yan's words made Yu Lan and Zhou Boxu feel relieved, and Jiang Shu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Yuan took off the jade pendant and put it on the table and said, "Good boy, you have good taste. Okay, I'll use this jade pendant as a prize. What do you want?"
"How about this dagger?" Zhou Boxu took off the dagger from his waist and put it on the table.
His dagger can cut iron like mud. It is a rare divine weapon.
Yu Yuan's eyes sparkled: "Then it's a deal. Don't regret it."
Although he was not good at martial arts and did not study weapons deeply, he knew about Zhou Boxu's dagger.
Even if he didn't use it, it was very good to scare people and save face. Who doesn't love a treasure?
While the few people were talking, the servants had already arranged the venue.
The two teams stood separately, Yu Yuan threw the ball into the air, and when it fell back into the air, the two teams began to fight for it.
Zhou Boxu had long legs and a fast body, and he kicked the ball sideways in the air and passed it to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan was young and not very skilled, and was a little panicked, fearing that he would lose the game if he didn't kick well.
"Don't be afraid, I and your uncle are here." Zhou Boxu saw his nervousness and comforted him gently.
"Yan'er, just kick." Yu Zheng also encouraged from behind.
With the two people as confidence, Zhuang Yan put aside his worries and played freely.
Jiang Shu and Yu Lan sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and watched. Seeing that everyone was having fun, they were also happy.
"Lord Zhou likes Yun'er very much, and Yun'er also likes Lord Zhou." Jiang Shu continued to pour hot tea for Yu Lan.
Yu Lan curled her lips and smiled: "Well, I feel relieved that they can get along well."
For Yu Lan, Zhou Boxu and Zhuang Yun are equally important, and they can't be separated. Seeing them get along well, she felt relieved.
"Yijun is also amazing, she can do everything. I think she is as good at kicking as Prince Yu." Jiang Shu looked envious and appreciative.
"Why, is A Zheng not good at kicking?" Yu Lan peeled an orange and smiled timidly.
Jiang Shu's face turned red from being teased, and he teased, "I think Lord Zhou kicked the best, didn't you see it, sister?"
"Okay, I'll tell Zheng later that you look at others instead of him."
"Well, same here..."
The two joked in the pavilion, watching a few people laughing and chasing in the open space in the distance.
The sun fell gently on the lake, and sometimes a breeze blew gently, rippling the waves.
The red and white koi swam lazily in the water, basking in the sun and looking for food comfortably.
"Such a day is so good." Jiang Shu sighed, stroking her not-yet-noticeable stomach.
Having a family, a husband, children, and good friends... It would be best to live a stable and happy life like this.
Yu Lan looked at Jiang Shu's belly and said, "With children around our knees and growing old together, things will be even better in the future."
"Yes, we are all the same."
This is the best blessing. The two looked at each other and smiled as they ate oranges.
After playing for about half an hour, Yu Zheng and his friends returned to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Who won?" Yu Lan asked with a smile.
"We won." Zhuang Yan was excited, picked up the jade pendant on the table and said proudly: "Uncle Yuan, this is mine."
Yu Yuan's face was downcast, and he said unconvinced: "My teammate is not good enough, he is holding me back, otherwise I would have won."
Sun Yijun grabbed Yu Yuan's ear and asked with a snort: "Who do you say is not good enough? Who is holding who back?" A man
who knows the current situation is a hero, Yu Yuan begged for mercy: "I, I, I, I am not good enough, I am holding you back."
"Puff——" Jiang Shu and others were amused, watching them flirt and flirt.
"Humph! You know your place." Sun Yijun let go with satisfaction.
Yu Yuan rubbed his ear, and said with a look of resentment: "Royal sister Zheng brother, you just watched her bully me and did nothing."
"Why does she bully you?" Yu Zheng asked indifferently.
Yu Yuan choked, knowing that he couldn't answer the question.
"Hmph!" Turning his head away proudly, Yu Yuan angrily ate the fruit.
After resting enough, Yu Yuan couldn't sit still again, and asked the servants to bring the chessboard, wanting to change the way to wash away the shame.
But after a round of battles, he defeated Zhuang Yan alone.
Jiang Ning, who narrowly won, raised his eyebrows, a little proud.
Every time he played chess with Yu Zheng, he learned very seriously and improved rapidly.
"This... I didn't play well today, let's change to playing pot tossing." Yu Yuan was a little embarrassed, picked up the tea and drank it, and stuck out his tongue because of the burn.
"Hahaha..." Sun Yijun laughed and spit.
Yu Yuan said angrily: "You did it on purpose."
"Who told you to drink it directly." Sun Yijun laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
Jiang Shu and his friends found it more interesting than watching an opera.
As they were talking and laughing, a servant came to report, "Your Highness, Princess, the table is ready."
They went to the flower hall for lunch.
Zhuang Yan had consumed a lot of energy playing Cuju in the morning, and he ate very deliciously at lunch, which made Yu Lan very pleased.
Boys should be like this, play well and eat well, so that they can grow strong and healthy.
After the meal, they returned to the back garden.
It is not appropriate to do strenuous activities after eating, so standing still and throwing pots is just right.
Throwing pots is a game that does not require much effort, does not require any threshold, and is relatively elegant. It is very popular among the people of Dazhao, and almost everyone can play it.
"Mother, it's your turn." Zhuang Yin took the arrow and handed it to Yu Lan.
Yu Lan took it and stood still, staring at the mouth of the pot in front of her with her beautiful eyes, aiming carefully and throwing it.
Zhou Boxu watched without blinking, and when Yu Lan smiled brightly after hitting the target, he also curled the corners of his lips.
"Mother, you are so good." Zhuang Yin clapped his hands in admiration.
Yu Lan touched his head and said, "Yun'er, practice a few more times, and you will be better than mother."
"Okay." Zhuang Yin took the arrow and practiced with great interest, while Yu Yuan gave him serious instructions.
He is not good at other things, but he is very good at this.
Seeing someone playing with Zhuang Yin, Yu Lan and Zhou Boxu looked at each other, and walked towards the plum forest in tacit understanding. x
"Come on, let your uncle show you some tricks." Yu Yuan was so eager to see it that he took an arrow to show Zhuang Yin.
Zhuang Yin looked around and saw Zhou Boxu and Yu Lan entering the plum forest.
Noticing Zhuang Yin's line of sight, Yu Zheng walked slowly to him.
"Yin'er wants to join them too?"
Zhuang Yin shook his head, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Uncle, does Uncle Zhou like my mother very much?"
"Yes." Yu Zheng nodded, his expression solemn, "No one in the world loves your mother more than him."
As a man, Yu Zheng knew too well what it meant to be single for ten years.
That was a firm love for one person, and a love that could not be changed.
Although his feelings for Jiang Shu were not deep enough to let go, no one has been able to win his heart over the years. It was not until he learned that Jiang Shu had divorced that the empty corner of his heart had an answer.
Some people are destined to be together, even if they have missed each other before, they will meet again after many twists and turns.
"I love my mother too." Zhuang Yin said firmly.
Yu Zheng nodded and said slowly: "I know, but your love is different from Uncle Zhou's love, and both are irreplaceable."
"And you will grow up, start a career, and start a family. If there is no one to accompany you by then, your mother will be like your grandmother, and can only spend the rest of her life in loneliness."
Thinking of Madam Zhuang, Zhuang Yin frowned: "I don't want my mother to be like my grandmother."
