These things that require adults' attention cannot disturb Zhou Qiongyue. Zhou Qiongyue still eats and drinks in her Qiongyue Pavilion and spends her time leisurely reading miscellaneous books.
After Zhou Qiongyue had revealed the news to her grandfather, the Marquis of Cheng'en, several days had passed before he sent someone to deliver the title deed to the inner city house she had requested. This delay had made Zhou Qiongyue think her grandfather was going to give her up.
Zhou Qiongyue was very happy holding the three deeds and handed them to Gulan who was standing behind her. "Keep them. We will go to pay our respects to Mother tonight. I'm sure your two brothers will be there too."
"Yes!" Gulan did not ask why Marquis Cheng'en wanted to give the young lady the land deed, nor did he ask why the young lady wanted to give a share to the eldest and fifth young masters.
Zhou Qiongyue was also grateful for these useful people. They never asked questions that they shouldn't ask. Their emotional intelligence was too high, and it was too easy to use them.
If any of her four maids didn't go with her when she got married, she might be a little uncomfortable. But she would still make arrangements for them and wouldn't force anyone, after all, they were master and servant.
When the sun set in the west, Zhou Qiongyue immediately took Gulan to her mother Jin's yard.
She even sent someone to wait in the front yard, waiting to call her two brothers to join her in the mother's yard for dinner. However, Zhou Qiongyue didn't call her father Zhou Wencan, and she didn't care.
The main reason was that her mother, Jin, didn't allow her to do so, saying that she couldn't give others the illusion that she was helping her mother win favor, which would be bad for her reputation.
However, every time she asked someone to call her brother, her father, the prince, would follow. Zhou Qiongyue felt that her father sometimes had a strong desire to survive.
Zhou Qiongyue had just chatted with her mother for a while when she saw her father and two brothers coming in. Of course, the prince's father was the first to walk in front.
"Dad!" Zhou Qiongyue ran over like a happy little bird.
Zhou Wencan stretched out a hand to support his daughter. "You're already a grown-up girl, but you're still so irritable. What a disgrace."
Zhou Wencan's verbal etiquette is perfect.
Zhou Qiongyue was not afraid of this duplicitous father, and instead happily called her two brothers, "Big Brother, Fifth Brother!"
"Sister!" Zhou Zhiyi and his brother were also very happy to see their sister, so the three brothers and sisters immediately sat around the table and started chatting and playing.
"Big brother, fifth brother! Guess why I asked you to come here this time." Zhou Qiongyue had a childish expression, as if it was saying something like "There is good news, guess it quickly."
Zhou Zhiquan took the lead in cooperating with his sister, "I guess my sister must be missing me and my brother."
"I guess so!" The eldest brother Zhou Zhiyi really couldn't guess why, but he could agree with his younger brother.
"You are wrong, Big Brother and Fifth Brother, both of you have guessed wrong. Close your eyes quickly, it's time to draw a gift."
Zhou Qiongyue was extremely happy at this moment. This was the first time she gave her two brothers a valuable gift. Although it was just a small gift, it did not stop her from being happy.
Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan immediately closed their eyes with a smile and cooperated with their sister, playing the main theme of "You dare to say it, I dare to do it."
Zhou Wencan and Jin sat nearby the whole time, chatting idly and watching the three children having fun. They both felt relaxed in this atmosphere.
Seeing that her eldest and fifth brothers cooperated with her, Zhou Qiongyue smiled and turned around to take the three deeds from Gulan's hand, and guided her eldest and fifth brothers to draw one from her hand.
After Zhou Qiongyue finished all this, she ordered, "Okay, Big Brother and Fifth Brother can open your eyes now."
"Let me see what it is. It's so mysterious." Zhou Zhiquan was very excited. He quite liked this kind of anticipation for the unknown.
Zhou Zhiquan's hands trembled as he saw it. It was no wonder he was such a loser. Apart from the farm he and his eldest brother had bought together, he had no other private property. And as far as he knew, much of his father's private property was registered under his mother's name.
Anyway, Zhou Zhiquan's first reaction was disbelief, "Wow, sister, is this for me?"
Zhou Zhiyi was just trying to cheer up his sister, but when he heard his brother yelling and screaming, he was startled and quickly opened his eyes to take a look.
Zhou Zhiyi saw clearly where the land deed in his hand belonged to, and placed it in front of Zhou Qiongyue with a smile, "Big brother, I have received my sister's kindness, but I really cannot accept it."
"Yes, brother is right. As men, how can we covet our sister's things!" Zhou Zhiquan said as he placed the deed in his hand in front of Zhou Qiongyue.
"Hey, take it! Mine is here." Zhou Qiongyue said, and showed the one in her hand to her eldest brother and fifth brother.
When Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan heard their sister say this, they both came over to take a look, and found that it was exactly the same as the one they had, meaning that the size and location were similar.
Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan looked at each other and saw curiosity and surprise in each other's eyes.
Before they could ask, Zhou Wencan, who had come over to watch the noise, asked first:
"Where did Yue'er come from?"
Zhou Qiongyue smiled innocently, "Oh, I went to play in my grandfather's study a few days ago, and my grandfather gave it to me."
"Could it be that your grandfather gave it to you as a dowry?" Jin also interjected.
Zhou Qiongyue shook her head confidently. "No, it's a dowry. My grandfather gave me the banknotes before. These three land deeds are almost identical. It's obvious that they are for us three siblings."
Zhou Wencan glanced at his daughter thoughtfully, feeling that she was still like him. She knew how to ask her grandfather for good things. Unlike his sons, who seemed to be detached from the mundane world. They seemed to have been raised on a diet of nectar, which was a worrying sight.
Zhou Wencan decided, "Then Yi'er and Quan'er should be kept!"
Zhou Wencan didn't care about these things. He was quite wealthy. Over the years, he had done many shady things for the emperor. The emperor was reluctant to reward him openly, but he also gave him many benefits in private.
However, they hadn't split up yet, so for the time being, all the valuables were kept in his wife's name. But he wasn't short of money, and he had earned enough to support his sons.
Zhou Wencan thought that when his daughter got married, he would give her more money.
When Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan heard their father speak, they both happily put the land deeds in their arms and thanked Zhou Qiongyue at the same time.
"You two should learn from me!" Zhou Wencan looked at Zhou Zhiyi and the other man, who looked like they had never seen the world, and could only give them some advice.
"Ah..." Zhou Wencan successfully gained two pairs of confused eyes.
Zhou Wencan stroked his forehead and turned to look at his wife, Mrs. Jin. He really wanted to ask his wife, are these two really his sons?
But he was afraid that his wife would be angry, so he didn't dare to ask, and could only look at his wife Jin with a wronged look.
