The one-month confinement period ended and it was already midsummer.
Gu Jiu was suffering from the summer heat and didn't want to go out.
There are no new projects this year, so it’s okay not to go out.
Princess Huyang was still under house arrest, and she continued to write letters to Gu Jiu. She still insisted on marrying Chen Min to Su Zheng.
Gu Jiu objected several times, but seeing that she wouldn't listen, he simply ignored the matter.
Hu Yang alone could not decide Chen Min's marriage because in the eyes of the world, Hu Yang was an unreliable person.
Unreliable people are naturally not qualified to decide their children's marriage prospects.
Yu Ge'er is almost two years old and can already speak clearly.
He was one of the children who spoke relatively early, and he spoke sentences of three, four, or even five words or more all day long.
Basically, he can express his ideas more clearly.
It was hot in the afternoon.
Gu Jiu was taking a nap, half asleep and half awake.
A little man climbed onto the Arhat couch.
Gu Jiu skillfully hugged the little guy and brought him into his arms.
The little guy lay on top of her, and soon he couldn't stand the heat anymore, his chest was covered with sweat.
Gu Jiu could only open his eyes and pinch the child's chubby cheeks, "Why don't you take a nap?"
"I want to eat watermelon."
"No. You've already taken three pills today. You can't take any more."
Yu Ge'er opened his big eyes, which were clearly black and white and innocent, and looked at Gu Jiu pitifully.
Gu Jiu was so soft-hearted that at the moment she was about to give in, she finally held on to her bottom line.
"Qingzhu made some iced mung bean soup. How about half a bowl? It's sweet too."
"I want to eat a big butter bun."
Gu Jiu pinched his cheek and said, "You'll get fat if you eat too much cream. Look at how chubby you are. You can only eat cream once every three days."
Yu Ge'er is tending to become fat, which makes Gu Jiu very upset and he has to control his snacks.
Yu Ge'er hung his head, looking very aggrieved.
He doesn't say anything, just looks at you with a pair of innocent eyes, making you feel guilty and soft-hearted.
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched. Who had this child learned this from? Even at such a young age, he knew how to capitalize on his strengths. A pair of eyes could speak volumes.
Nanny Fang was so soft-hearted that she gave in first. "Madam, just give my brother some of the big butter buns. Only five bites, no, only three."
Gu Jiu sighed, "Mammy, look at my physique. Be careful that he becomes a little fat boy and will be disliked by others."
"Who dares to look down on my son?" Nanny Fang was very angry.
This isn't a question of whether or not you dare. Disdain is disdain, and even if you don't say it, it will be revealed in your words and actions.
Yu Ge'er suddenly said: "Mother, I don't want to eat anymore. I'm not hungry."
Although he said he was not hungry, his eyes were already wet, as if tears would fall at any moment.
Nanny Fang was almost crying, "Madam, just give my brother a bite. One bite won't make him fat."
Gu Jiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Nanny Fang begged humbly, as if she were a stepmother who had abused the child.
Gu Jiu scratched Yu Ge'er's nose. He was so young, yet so cunning. Did he really think she didn't know that half of his pitiful appearance was fake?
"Just one bite."
Nanny Fang nodded repeatedly.
Yu Ge'er's eyes shone brightly, and he smiled, looking very proud.
Nanny Fang reached out her hand and took Yu Ge'er's hand, "Nanny will take you to eat butter buns."
Yu Ge'er's eyes sparkled and he nodded heavily, "Thank you, Ma'am."
"Good boy, you are so polite."
Yu Ge'er achieved his goal and happily followed Nanny Fang out of the study to enjoy his afternoon tea.
After such a commotion, Gu Jiu lost his sleepiness.
She rubbed her eyebrows, sat up, and simply picked up a storybook and sat under the window to read.
Thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also a beauty sitting under the window at this moment, listening to the storyteller telling stories and giggling.
This beauty is none other than Jiang Yan, who escaped from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River and now changes her name to Jiang Zhu.
She listened to the storytelling with great interest, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.
"The young master is here."
Outside the door, the maid called out.
Jiang Yan stood up suddenly, "Hey, why are you here today, Master?"
"Of course it's because the young master misses his wife."
Jiang Yan's cheeks flushed, she smiled shyly, put on her embroidered shoes, and hurried out to greet him.
At the gate of the inner courtyard, a handsome young man strode in with great strides.
If Gu Jiu were here, he would definitely sigh, "The world is round, and so are human relationships. Who would have thought that Zhou Jin would marry Jiang Yan?"
"Young Master!"
Jiang Yan's call of "Young Master" seemed to have a thousand twists and turns, and her whole body exuded a sense of tenderness and charm.
Before Zhou Jin even got close to her, her body went limp.
When Zhou Jin came to her, she leaned gently, her whole body soft and boneless, against Zhou Jin.
Her eyes sparkled with spring, and she was naturally charming. "Sir!"
The word "young master" is enough to make a man's body as hard as iron.
Zhou Jin hugged her, a smile on his face, "Do you miss me?"
Jiang Yan nodded slightly. "Yes! It hurts my heart to think about it."
She covered her heart with her slender fingers, which were soft and boneless.
What a natural beauty.
Zhou Jin lowered his head and held her lips roughly.
Jiang Yan let out a low moan, her whole body trembling, as if in joy, but also as if in rejection.
Her behavior made Zhou Jin feel hot all over, so he simply picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
It was a joyful experience and both of them felt satisfied.
After a whole afternoon of wandering around, I just want to stay in bed and never get up again.
Jiang Yan lay on Zhou Jin's body, "Sir, how come you have time to come back today?"
"There are some things that need to be taken care of. Why, you are not welcome, young master."
Jiang Yan bit him lightly and said, "I wish I could cling to you every day, and not ask you to go out and do things. How could I not welcome you? I'm just afraid that you'll forget me once you find someone new."
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, lifting her jaw. "You, an old friend, are very precious to me. Those newcomers are not as good as you."
Jiang Yan bit her thin lips lightly and said coquettishly, "Young Master is so mean."
Zhou Jin laughed heartily, clearing away the depression in his heart.
Although the imperial navy was not very powerful, they were like locusts and were extremely annoying.
Jiang Yan lay quietly in Zhou Jin's arms.
She didn't know Zhou Jin's identity or what he did for a living. She only knew that he was very rich, extremely rich.
Not to mention food and daily necessities, just the precious jewelry were not sent one by one, but in boxes.
Jiang Yan secretly made guesses, all kinds of incredible guesses, but she still could not confirm Zhou Jin's identity.
Sometimes, she would sense a dangerous aura from the other person, and even smell blood several times.
But she was very tactful and never asked any questions.
She was just a weak woman who had abandoned her identity and lived in hiding, drifting in the world like duckweed.
If she hadn't met Zhou Jin, she didn't know what kind of situation she would have ended up in.
She felt very lucky. Not long after arriving in Jiangnan, she was raised by Zhou Jin in the inner chamber.
She felt that her past fate was too rough. Although she had enjoyed supreme glory and once had great influence in the harem, she had also paid the price with her life.
Now, she finally met a young, rich man who liked her, and she just wanted to hold on to this luck.
Let the ups and downs outside go with the wind.
She was only willing to hide under Zhou Jin's wings and fulfill her duties as a woman.
It would be even better if you could give birth to a child for each other.
"Do you like children, sir?"
Jiang Yan asked casually.
Zhou Jin looked at her and played with her hair, "You like children."
Jiang Yan carefully considered her words, "It's okay. I don't particularly like it, but I don't particularly dislike it either."
Zhou Jin smiled and said nothing.
So Jiang Yan understood that the topic ended here.
She was a little disappointed, but then she became happy again. "Sir, the Xu family's wife invited me. Can I go to the banquet?"
Zhou Jin hugged her and said in a slightly cold tone: "It's been a busy time recently, don't go out."
"Oh! I'll listen to you, sir." Jiang Yan responded obediently.
Zhou Jin grinned silently, and his smile was very evil.
Woman, your tricks are the same over and over again.
He couldn't help but think of a woman far away in the capital.
She is so different.
She never played tricks on him. Every time they met, it was a contest of equal strength.
"Ah! Sir, you hurt me."
Jiang Yan cried out in pain.
Zhou Jin gripped her shoulders so tightly that his fingers dug into the flesh. If he moved any further, it would cause bleeding.
Hearing Jiang Yan cry out in pain, Zhou Jin loosened his grip.
There were five clear fingerprints left on Jiang Yan's arm, which looked scary.
Jiang Yan shuddered subconsciously, "Master, are you thinking of something unhappy?"
Zhou Jin nodded, but was unwilling to say more.
Gu Jiu is the secret pain in his heart, and no one is qualified to share the secret in his heart.
In his mind, Jiang Yan was a beautiful canary. She was skilled in martial arts, knew how to serve others, and was beautiful. Having her by his side was a wonderful way to entertain himself.
He rubbed her arm, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Yan was trembling with excitement. The young master actually cared about her.
She said shyly and a little aggrieved, "It hurts a little."
Zhou Jin smiled and rubbed it a few more times, "I was thinking about something just now and forgot about you."
"It doesn't matter. The important thing is your business."
Zhou Jin stroked her face gently. "I'll have someone send a box of clothes and jewelry over tomorrow. You can choose for yourself. You can keep whatever you like."
"Thank you, sir."
Jiang Yan smiled, her eyes charming.
"Serve me well, and I will not treat you unfairly."
