Chapter 247 The Greatest Blessing in This Life
After seeing off Mu Qingshan's parents and Song Anlan, Chunzhi hugged Xiaoxing and turned around to walk back with Song Wan'er and others.
Friends and relatives leave with smiles, and the spring breeze blows on your face.
All the people in the house had lights on. The lights were bright and the courtyard was filled with shadows of flowers.
Huo Yanran glanced at Chunzhi for a long time and saw that she had a smile on her lips and looked natural. She was not at all worried about the fact that Princess Xiling had chosen Huo Zheng for her marriage to Daxing. She was secretly surprised.
"Sister-in-law..." Princess Thirteen was about to say something when she heard Chunzhi say, "I'll take Xiaoxing back to see Nian'er. Yanran and Wan'er, go to the courtyard first and see what to add. It's been uninhabited for quite some time. If there's anything you don't like, ask someone to replace it."
Song Wan'er said, "What's so good about this? It was pretty good before, and it's not much worse now."
She still wanted to stay with her sister for a while longer.
Huo Yanran said, "Let's go and take a look. Let's go."
Princess Thirteen said this and pulled Song Wan'er away. She knew that Chunzhi must have something to say to Yuzhu alone, otherwise she would not go to see Nian'er at this time and send them both away.
Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er both had their own permanent residence in the Chang'an Palace. They talked as they walked. After not seeing each other for a long time, they soon began to discuss the latest trending novels and gossips with great enthusiasm.
"Let's go, let's go see Nian'er."
Chunzhi liked the Thirteenth Princess's intelligence, so she carried Xiaoxing back with her and walked towards the courtyard where Nian'er was with Yuzhu.
The two talked about recent events along the way.
When they got to the yard, Chunzhi asked everyone to leave as she entered the house. She put Xiaoxing back on the Luohan bed and asked Nian'er, who was playing with a rag doll, with a smile, "Long time no see, Nian'er, do you still remember me and Xiaoxing?"
Xiaoxing still remembered this playmate, so as soon as he got on the Luohan bed, he hugged Nian'er and the baby together.
Nian'er was also very excited to see Xiaoxing come back. The two of them were talking and babbling, sticking together almost like conjoined twins.
It was Chunzhi who said, "Xiaoxing, don't hold Nian'er all the time, let her go first."
Only after he took action did Xiaoxing let go of Nian'er.
Although the child is young, he is very strong. Nian'er is not a jade bottle toy, so she can't withstand him holding her like this.
Chunzhi picked up a soft pillow from the side and stuffed it into Xiaoxing's arms, saying softly, "It's fun, baby."
Xiaoxing replied that he probably understood, but when he got together with Nian'er again, he didn't do it again.
The two delicate little guys huddled together and whispered to each other. Even though I couldn't understand what they were saying, the scene was still very pleasing to the eye.
"Sister, sit down." Yuzhu invited Chunzhi to sit down and walked to the table to pour her tea.
Chunzhi walked to her side and said, "Don't pour the tea. I didn't come here just to drink tea."
Yuzhu turned and looked at Chunzhi, "Sister, do you have something to tell me?"
She even deliberately sent Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er away, probably because she didn't want them to know.
"Gu Yuanjia asked me to bring something to Nian'er. Take a look."
Chunzhi took out the brocade bag given by Master Gu from her sleeve and handed it to Yuzhu.
"I don't want anything from him."
Yuzhu didn't want to take Gu Yuanjia's things, so she didn't reach out to take them.
"But this is for Nian'er, not for you." Chunzhi said: "After all, he is Nian'er's biological father, so there is nothing wrong with giving Nian'er some small gifts."
Although Gu Yuanjia doesn't know that Nian'er is his biological daughter yet, the fact that he loves Nian'er so much without knowing it is enough to show that blood relationship is a very wonderful thing that cannot be severed no matter what.
If that’s the case, why should Yuzhu refuse the things that Gu Yuanjia gave to Nian’er?
Yuzhu wanted to say something else, but Chunzhi directly stuffed the brocade bag into Yuzhu's hand and said, "At least take a look at what he gave to Nian'er."
Yuzhu then opened the brocade bag and took out the pair of small gold bracelets.
"Peace and joy, long life."
When Yuzhu saw the eight words engraved on the small gold bracelet, she recognized it as Gu Yuanjia's handwriting at a glance.
But she didn't show any surprise when she saw this. Instead, she was filled with anxiety. "The words on this pair of small gold bracelets... are his handwriting. Why did he give these small gold bracelets to Nian'er? Could it be that he already knew..."
Yuzhu didn't even dare to finish her words, and looked at Chunzhi with anxiety in her eyes.
There is a folk custom for fathers to give small gold bracelets to their young daughters. Gu Yuanjia's move really shocked Yuzhu.
"You don't have to be so panicked." Chunzhi said in a gentle voice, "I see that Gu Yuanjia doesn't know anything, I just love Nian'er very much."
In fact, Chunzhi also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Gu Yuanjia to give Nian'er a small gold bracelet, but considering that Master Gu had previously offered a reward of 100 taels of gold to anyone he found, giving a small gold bracelet was actually not a big deal.
What's more, Chunzhi was able to recognize Gu Yuanjia's handwriting because she had been in Xizhou these days, reading Gu Yuanjia's manuscripts with Huo Zheng every day. Why was Yuzhu able to recognize Gu Yuanjia at a glance?
They have been separated for so long, even if they were familiar with each other in the past, they should have forgotten about it.
Perhaps even Yuzhu herself didn't know that many things about Gu Yuanjia had already been engraved in her heart.
As someone who had experienced this, Chunzhi advised Yuzhu to think positively, "The more you fear Gu Yuanjia will know about this, the more you should remain calm on the surface. Just accept whatever he gives you, so as not to arouse his suspicion. And..."
She said, "People like Gu Yuanjia are used to seeing people trying to gain something from him. The less you want, the more special you will seem to him, and the harder it will be for him to let you go."
"But..." Yuzhu had been with Gu Yuanjia for a long time and knew how powerful this man was, so she was even more worried about being discovered by him.
"Don't say but." Chunzhi said, "Gu Yuanjia is working for Huo Zheng now, and you are my sister. Even if he knows that Nian'er is his daughter, what can he do? Can he still snatch your daughter from you under the noses of Huo Zheng and me?"
When Yuzhu heard her sister say this, her uneasy heart instantly calmed down a little.
Yes, now that she has a backer, even if Gu Yuanjia is very capable, he has to act with caution for the sake of the Prince and Princess Chang'an. At least he can't snatch her Nian'er openly.
You still need to be careful when dealing with Gu Yuanjia in the future, but there is no need to be so afraid of him.
Yuzhu thought about it, encouraged herself in her heart, and then put the small gold bracelet back into the brocade bag, "Then I will accept this pair of small gold bracelets for Nian'er."
"That's right," Chunzhi said. "When I was selling tofu, I often heard the neighbor lady say, 'You're a jerk if you don't take the money.' If you're here, you'd be a fool not to take it."
Yuzhu was a little speechless and said: "Sister... I'm not stupid."
"Yes, our Yuzhu is very smart, so don't treat Gu Yuanjia as a scourge, and don't treat the things he gives you as hot potatoes. You have me, so you don't have to be afraid of anything." Chunzhi said: "You just need to think clearly about what kind of life you want to live in the future. I will take care of everything else."
"Sister." Yuzhu couldn't help but reach out and hug Chunzhi, choking with sobs as she said, "Having a sister like you is the greatest blessing in my life."
