Chapter 124 Chasing His Wife for His Brother
Zhou Yunshu was the first to leave the banquet.
He Zizhen has been feeling very uneasy ever since Jiang Rusi showed up. After finally waiting for Xixi and the other three to finish eating, he immediately stood up and wanted to take them out to play.
Zhou Yunshu and Chunque followed behind them, along with He Zizhen's wet nurse and maids.
He Zizhen took Xixi and the others to the side yard next to the garden. Although there were no blooming flowers in the side yard, there were several evergreen trees planted by the wall.
In the middle of the large and empty yard, there are two ships of different sizes and structures, stacked together like a T and connected by thick wooden ropes. There are also special wooden ladders at the bow, stern and hull for people to enter and exit.
Seeing He Zizhen's familiar movements when he got on the boat, Zhou Yunshu guessed that this was a large toy made by the He family specifically for He Zizhen.
Sure enough, He Zizhen turned around and called to Xixi and the others halfway up, "Come up and play, it's fun inside!"
Although Xixi and the others had taken a boat not long ago, that was a means of water transportation.
The ship in front of me is much smaller than the passenger ship but much more exquisite. It is obviously just a place for children to play.
The children were playing a game of navy conquering pirates on a ship model, while Zhou Yunshu sat on a bamboo chair under a tree and watched from afar.
"Madam, I'll ask someone to get you some refreshments." Mother Li said respectfully to Zhou Yunshu while standing aside.
Zhou Yunshu nodded slightly and looked at Chunque beside her, "You go with me."
Although there are not many female members in the He family, there are many intrigues. Without Chunque watching over them, Zhou Yunshu really doesn't dare to eat some of the food.
"yes."
Chunque followed a little maid and left. Zhou Yunshu pulled her thick cloak tightly around her and leaned lazily on the bamboo chair.
In fact, the winter in Jiangzhong and the winter in Beijing cannot be compared at all. It’s just that Zhou Yunshu is pregnant now, so even if she wears more clothes and covers herself more tightly, she doesn’t want to give herself any chance of catching a cold.
In the cabin.
Xixi and the other three looked at He Zizhen, who was sticking his butt out in front of them, as if looking for something, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I'm reaching for my sword!"
As he spoke, He Zizhen pulled out a wooden sword from under the seat in the cabin. He raised the sword in his hand and waved it solemnly, saying to Xixi and the other three, "With this sword, I can protect myself!"
Xixi looked at the polished wooden sword and tilted her head. "But your sword is made of wood. It can't protect you at all."
"My father said he can protect me!" He Zizhen retorted, holding his sword.
Xixi crossed her arms and looked at He Zizhen coolly, saying, "My father said that we should remove the grass at its roots. Your wooden sword can't even cut the grass, so how can you remove the roots?"
He Zizhen looked at Xixi across from him and his eyes turned red. "I, I...your father doesn't want you anymore. Your father doesn't keep his word!"
Xixi lowered her crossed arms and looked coldly at He Zizhen opposite her with her delicate little face.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yuan Li angrily stepped forward and pushed He Zizhen.
"Wow, you're so mean to me!"
The maidservants guarding outside the boat beside He Zizhen hurried forward when they heard their young master crying.
"Master!"
This is the only child in the He family. What would happen if he cried because of being bullied?
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" A fierce old woman stepped forward and yelled at Yuan Li, who was standing opposite He Zizhen with a cold face, "Are you bullying our young master?"
“Give me…”
Before the old woman could finish her words, He Zizhen turned around and shouted at her with red eyes, "Get out!"
"Is it your turn as servants to interrupt our master when he is speaking?" Although He Zizhen was crying, he still had some dignity.
The servant, who had been planning to stand up for his young master, felt embarrassed when he was scolded by He Zizhen, but he did not dare to refute He Zizhen. He lowered his head and left the cabin, then stepped aside to guard.
After the servants left, He Zizhen, who had been crying with red eyes, slowly stopped sobbing and quietly looked at Yuan Li, Xixi and the other three sitting opposite him.
He couldn't let the friend he had finally found be scared away by his own servants.
Yuan Li, as the eldest brother among the four, saw that He Zizhen did not allow the servants to bully them, and his attitude towards He Zizhen became slightly better.
Zhou Yunshu, who was sitting not far away, of course also heard He Zizhen's crying. When Mother Li rushed over and came back halfway, she quietly changed her position and leaned against him.
Seeing Zhou Yunshu relaxing as if she were at home, Mother Li couldn't help but say, "Madam, you are truly generous."
But it's true. After all, they have four children, but we only have one young master. If any conflict really happens, it will definitely not be their children who suffer.
If Mother Li had not experienced her little master and Xixi and the others getting along for a few days on the passenger ship, she would definitely not have been able to hold back when she heard her little master crying.
"Let the children solve their own problems. As long as they don't get hurt, that's fine."
Sometimes we pay too much attention to the "love, hate and vengeance" between children. While you are still angry about their quarrel, they have already reconciled and their relationship is as close as one.
Xixi and He Zizhen in the cabin were indeed dealing with what had just happened.
Xixi looked at He Zizhen and said with a serious face, "My mother said that my father didn't abandon me!"
"So you shouldn't have said that just now. If you say that again next time, I'll get angry and hit you."
Xixi's baby voice was fierce. To show that she was not to be trifled with, she even raised her fist and pointed it at He Zizhen standing opposite her, saying, "It hurts when I hit you. You're definitely going to cry!"
He Zizhen pursed his lips, looked at Xixi and said silently: "I'm sorry."
“Puff!”
Suddenly, a man's uncontrollable laughter was heard outside the cabin.
"Hahaha, Brother He, is this fierce little girl also from your family? How interesting!"
After the man finished speaking, a calmer voice sounded, "That timid little fat boy is from my family."
He Zizhen: “…”
"Daddy?"
He Zizhen rushed out of the cabin with a smile. When he saw the sturdy man in a dark blue Hangzhou silk robe at the stern, he said happily, "Daddy!"
He Zizhen jumped off the boat without any hesitation. The maids and servants around him were frightened by their young master's action, and then they saw him fall firmly into his master's arms.
"You've gained weight again." He Nian Zhang weighed his son several times and said to him with great concern.
He Zizhen pouted and said, "Grandma said it's better for children to be a little fatter."
He Nian Zhang smiled helplessly, touched his son's hair, looked at the elegant and handsome man wearing a royal blue rain flower brocade robe next to him and said, "This is your Uncle Kang."
He Zizhen looked at the man obediently and called out, "Hello, Uncle Kang."
He Nianzhang put He Zizhen down and continued, "Your uncle Kang's father is the former Grand Tutor. If you can be influenced by him, I will feel relieved."
"Hahaha." Kang Jingyu folded the fan in his hand and laughed, "We've known each other for so long, and I haven't seen you learn anything from me. You can't do it yourself, so don't embarrass the child."
What he hates most is people forcing children to study.
He Nian Zhang smiled and said, "Perhaps the time we spent together was too short. Couldn't you have stayed in the river a little longer?"
Kang Jingyu shook his head and stretched out his hand helplessly: "Chasing my brother's wife is a difficult task. I can't keep her."
