Zhou Zhiquan looked up and down but didn't look at Zhou Qiongyue. Zhou Qiongyue saw something was wrong and asked, "Fifth brother has someone he likes?"
When Zhou Zhiquan saw his sister asking, his ears instantly turned red. "Sister, play with Chang'er and Kang'er for a while. Fifth brother suddenly remembered to find mother for something."
After Zhou Zhiquan finished speaking, he put Yuan Chaokang down and ran away.
Even Yuan Chaochang, who was still plucking flowers in the yard, looked at Zhou Zhiquan's back curiously and asked, "Why did Fifth Uncle leave?"
"Fifth uncle is shy." Yuan Chaokang watched the fun and explained to his brother in a good mood.
Yuan Chaochang, a true child, made full use of his ability to ask questions when he didn't understand something. "What is shyness? Why is Fifth Uncle shy?"
Zhou Qiongyue also wanted to watch the fun at this time and didn't want to bring the children. She smiled and squatted down and coaxed Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang, "Why don't you two go play with your grandfather in the front yard?"
Yuan Chaokang saw through his mother's thoughts at a glance, but who can blame him for being a filial son?
"My brother and I are going to the front yard to look for Grandfather. Mother, don't worry about us."
Yuan Chaokang almost said, "Mother, if you want to watch the fun, just go."
After Yuan Chaokang finished speaking, he took his brother to bow to Zhou Qiongyue, and then left with the servants around him.
Zhou Qiongyue was still a little worried and signaled Gulan beside her to hurry up and catch up. After all, Zhou Qiongyue was with Gule and Gumian when she went out today!
Gu Le can now stand on her own, and Gu Mian also knows kung fu, so she has no shortage of people to serve her.
Gulan also understood the princess's thoughts, and decisively followed the two young masters.
Yuan Chaochang was dragged out of the Qiongyue Pavilion by his brother. He couldn't help but struggle and said, "Brother, I don't want to go to the front yard to play with grandpa. I'm scared!"
Yuan Chaokang refused to let go of his eldest brother no matter how much he struggled. Although he was born in poor health, he had been nursed back to health by a good imperial physician over the past few years, and his mother generously provided him with various fine medicinal herbs. Most importantly, he cooperated.
He was now a bit stronger than his older brother, who was, after all, a real child, unwilling to drink some bitter medicine. Sometimes he was even picky about food, so Yuan Chaokang wouldn't let go, and his older brother, Yuan Chaochang, couldn't break free either.
Seeing that he couldn't break free from his brother's hand and his brother didn't say anything, Yuan Chaochang called out again, with a hint of grievance in his tone, "Brother..."
Yuan Chaokang could only stop and look at his eldest brother Yuan Chaochang seriously, "Brother, mother has important things to do and can't take us with her."
"Oh, then tell me clearly! I can't... I can't make a decision." Although Yuan Chaochang is small, he has begun to have independent consciousness.
Yuan Chaokang looked at Yuan Chaochang in surprise again and apologized quickly, "Okay, it's my fault this time."
Yuan Chaochang didn't mind seeing his brother apologize. He took his brother's hand and walked towards the front yard, sighing as he walked.
Every time Yuan Chaochang sighed, Yuan Chaokang turned around to look at his brother. Finally, Yuan Chaokang couldn't stand it anymore and asked directly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I always feel that there's something scary about my grandfather. Aren't you afraid, brother?"
Yuan Chaokang looked up at the sky and began to doubt his life. Who of them was the fake child?
Yuan Chaokang still tried to explain, "Grandfather won't hurt either of us."
"Oh!" Yuan Chaochang also looked up at the sky. He felt that his brother didn't understand him. This had nothing to do with whether it hurt or not, it was just scary!
Gulan watched the two young masters' actions and laughed in the back. But she would not interfere in the affairs of the two young masters at will. After all, the princess had instructed, "Try to let the two young masters solve their own problems."
When Zhou Qiongyue saw Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang leaving with their men, she also took Gu Le and Gu Mian to chase Zhou Zhiquan.
When Zhou Qiongyue arrived at Xieyang Courtyard, Zhou Zhiquan was still peeking at the gate.
"Fifth brother, why haven't you gone in yet?"
Zhou Zhiquan was so focused on the yard that he didn't notice Zhou Qiongyue approaching. Suddenly, Zhou Qiongyue spoke, startling him.
Zhou Zhiquan patted his chest and said, "Sister, I'm so scared, how come you don't make any sound when you walk?"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the guilty Fifth Brother, who was the first to complain, and teased him, "Fifth Brother, don't tell Dad that you also practiced martial arts. I'm worried that Dad will be unable to resist and beat you to death."
"Good sister, Fifth Brother was wrong, please be gentle with him!" Zhou Zhiquan said as he looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But he relaxed too quickly, and the next second he heard his sister shouting, "Mom, Fifth Brother wants to talk to you, Mom..."
Zhou Zhiquan could only quickly cover Zhou Qiongyue's mouth, but he didn't dare to use all his strength for fear of hurting his sister.
Zhou Qiongyue hid everywhere again, and the entire Xieyang Courtyard was filled with the voices of the two brothers and sisters.
Of course, Jin heard it too, so she put down the account book in her hand and came out with a sullen face, "Why don't you get in? You two are so grown up, what are you doing making a fuss about?"
At this moment, Jin really wanted to give these two guys two sticks each. It would be embarrassing if someone saw them.
When Zhou Qiongyue and Zhou Zhiquan heard their mother getting angry, they tacitly followed Jin inside.
Jin walked straight to the table by the window and sat down, then looked up at the two children. She saw her daughter and son were making faces at each other, doing some kind of riddle.
Jin could only console herself by saying that she was his biological child and had no choice. After she calmed down a bit, she said, "You two, sit down and talk!"
As Jin spoke, she pointed to the two spaces next to her, the ones that separated them. The ornaments in her room were precious! She didn't want any of them to be broken by these two children.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue sat down, she looked across at Zhou Zhiquan. She saw that her fifth brother, who had just been aggressive with her, was now like a quail, with his head lowered and silent.
Zhou Qiongyue decided to help this silly boy, "Mom, Fifth Brother has someone he likes."
"Sister!" Zhou Zhiquan stopped her embarrassedly, but when he met his mother Jin's gaze, he lowered his head again.
Jin: She is not a devil, is she that scary?
Jin could only look at her daughter again, meaning to let her continue.
Zhou Qiongyue certainly knew what her mother meant, but she really didn't know, so she said truthfully, "That's all I know."
Jin took a deep breath. Her children were a debt, no matter how long it lasted. She was not angry, not at all.
Jin was not someone who would not fulfill her son's wish. "Quan'er, tell me! Which family is this young lady from? How did you two meet? If she's suitable, I'll send someone to test their family's intentions."
After Jin finished speaking, she slowly sipped her tea and said nothing more. She had given her son the opportunity, and it was up to him whether he wanted to seize it or not.
