Chapter 790: Pick the softest persimmon
Yan Qingsong scratched his head and muttered, "Strange, I clearly went over and called out, and Brother Cheng agreed."
Shen Qingyun asked: "How did you shout?"
Realizing that she was going to hold him accountable, Yan Qingsong took two steps back, gave a dry smile, and said, "I just stood outside the courtyard and shouted inside. When I heard Brother Cheng reply, I came over first."
He looked innocent and said, "It's rare for my cousin to come back, so I wanted to talk to her more."
Yan Changkun came forward panting, glared at him and said, "You bastard, not only did you fail to do your job well, you actually dared to use Xi'er as a shield."
"Dad, you've wronged me so much. I'm telling the truth!"
As Yan Qingsong spoke, he hid beside Song Yanxi, and did not forget to wink at Jiaojiao who was in her arms.
Yan Changkun saw this and felt even more pain in his teeth.
He smiled and waved to his eldest son, saying, "Come here, your mother wants to see you."
Yan Qingsong shook his head like a rattle.
He was not stupid. It was obvious that this was a Hongmen Banquet waiting for him, and he would definitely be beaten if he went there.
Seeing him hiding behind Song Yanxi, Yan Changkun said unhappily, "Hurry up and invite your classmates over. It will be dark if you wait any longer."
Yan Qingsong quickly responded, muttering softly, "It's not like I didn't invite you, why are you yelling at me?
Besides, the legs are on their bodies, so I won’t say anything.”
Afraid that Yan Changkun would hear him and hit him, he quickly ran away after saying that, which made Jiaojiao's eyes widen.
She leaned over to Song Yanxi's ear and whispered, "Mother, who is this fierce uncle?"
Song Yanxi chuckled and said, "Jiaojiao, this is not your uncle, he is your aunt's uncle."
"Uncle?" The little girl's eyes widened, and she counted on her little fingers and said, "My mother's mother is my grandmother, and my mother's brother is my uncle..."
She recalled what Ziheng had taught her before, and after a long while, she finally figured out what she should call Yan Changkun.
When he looked over, she said in a loud voice, "Uncle Grandfather!"
Yan Changkun was stunned and didn't realize that he was being called.
Shen Qingyun smiled and reminded: "What are you still standing there for? Grandfather is not so easy to deal with. Hurry up and give your little granddaughter a meeting gift!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Changkun quickly felt his whole body and finally took out a jade ring from his hand.
He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't blame me, Jiaojiao. I didn't know you were coming today, so I didn't have time to prepare in advance.
You take this ring first, don’t be disgusted by it.
When you come next time, I will give you a better one."
Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Uncle, Jiaojiao cannot be accepted."
The little girl was the best at observing people's expressions, so naturally she didn't miss the surprise on Shen Qingyun and Yan Qing's faces when Yan Changkun took off his ring just now.
Her intuition told her that she couldn't accept this thing.
"Why can't you accept it?" Yan Changkun frowned and stuffed the ring into Jiaojiao's hand without giving her a chance to refuse.
Before she could say anything, he said unhappily, "Since you accepted the gift from your sister-in-law, you must accept the gift from your uncle."
Facing the little girl's wide eyes, he frowned and said, "If you don't treat everyone equally, your uncle will be angry."
Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Shen Qingyun, then looked at him, took a deep breath and said, “Then Jiaojiao doesn’t want it.”
As she spoke, she placed the ring in Yan Changkun's hand and began to take off the beads from her neck.
Shen Qingyun hurriedly stopped him and glared at Yan Changkun angrily, "If you can't speak, get out of the way, don't force me to slap you."
When Jiaojiao heard that she was going to take action, she didn't dare to move.
She heard from her second brother that there was an aunt who had a quick temper and might really get violent when angry.
However, her second brother told her not to be afraid, and that even if her aunt was angry, she would be reasonable and would not hit Jiaojiao.
As for the others, it’s hard to say.
Jiaojiao reached out and pulled Shen Qingyun's sleeve, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandma, don't be angry, Jiaojiao likes your gift very much."
Hearing the little girl's words of liking, Shen Qingyun's expression eased slightly.
The next moment, Jiaojiao said, "Jiaojiao also likes Uncle Grandpa's gift."
When Yan Changkun heard this, the disappointment in his eyes disappeared, and he said happily, "I'm glad you like it. We have a lot of these things at home. After dinner, my uncle will take you to the warehouse to choose!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingyun said with a look of disgust: "It's obvious that you have that little private money, it's not enough to buy snacks for the children."
Yan Changkun suddenly became anxious and turned around quickly, making sure that Lu Peilan didn't come over before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing his useless look, Shen Qingyun said: "With this little courage, you dare to hide your private property behind Peiyun's back."
"What private money? Sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense!" Yan Changkun flatly denied it.
He looked at what was in front of him and said anxiously, "Sister, you know me best, so you have to be fair!"
Yan Qing smiled faintly and said nothing.
Of course she understood her own brother.
So it is also clearer where his private money is usually hidden.
But he has been timid since he was a child, so even if he hid it, it would probably be around a hundred taels.
If there were more, he would not be able to let go of his worries even if the hiding place was safe.
And her sister-in-law was the most meticulous one, so she couldn't hide anything from her.
To be honest, it’s not her sister-in-law’s fault.
If you want to blame someone, blame her younger brother for being so unreasonable.
He is already a grandfather, but he still acts like a child. Apart from business, he likes to raise birds and fight crickets with others.
Although it is not a bad habit, the old man cannot stand it and has lost his temper several times because of it.
As a daughter-in-law, Lu Peilan was caught in the middle and was in a very difficult situation.
On one side is the husband who works diligently for the family, and on the other side is the father-in-law who is old but still has a violent temper.
She thought about it again and again, and decided to pick the weak ones.
Just as a few people were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a servant come to report that Mo Jinchuan and Ziheng had arrived.
Jiaojiao, who was originally looking up with high interest and listening to the fun, suddenly wilted and hid in Song Yanxi's arms.
That little look makes me feel guilty no matter how I look at it.
Shen Qingyun teased her, "Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, your aunt is here, so your father can't hurt you."
The little girl was not happy at all when she heard this.
Under the concerned gazes of several people, she said aggrievedly: "Aunt grandma can't go home with Jiaojiao."
The meaning is clearly that they can control things for a while, but not for a lifetime.
When she returned to Prince Jin's Mansion, her father could deal with her however he wanted.
Shen Qingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, "This little girl is really adorable."
Although Jiaojiao was a little scared, she still forced a smile when she heard her praising herself.
Daddy once said that we should be polite when facing elders.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingyun felt even more distressed. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Jiaojiao roll off Song Yanxi's legs.
Not far away, two figures, one big and one small, were approaching.
The little girl tugged at Song Yanxi's sleeve and looked at her eagerly, with "Help me" almost written on her face.
Obviously, she also knew that what she did was wrong.
Seeing that Song Yanxi was unmoved, Jiaojiao pursed her lips, turned around, ran to Mo Jinchuan, and then knelt down in front of everyone.
