Zhou Qiongyue was pleasantly surprised by her elder brother's gift. Who doesn't like to be loved and remembered by someone?
But Zhou Qiongyue did not open it immediately, but looked at her sister-in-law.
Seeing her sister-in-law like this, Cheng was also very happy. Although she was in favor of her husband giving her sister-in-law gifts, she was very supportive.
But with her sister-in-law doing this, Cheng also felt respected.
Cheng smiled and advised, "Little sister, open it and see if you like it. Don't worry, your elder brother brought it to me too."
Seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law were giving the gift sincerely, Zhou Qiongyue stopped being pretentious and opened it happily.
When Zhou Qiongyue opened the box, Fifth Madam Cheng came in holding two children.
Yuan Chaochang and Zhou Yide were quite familiar with each other. Some time ago, he lived in the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, and this cousin often followed him around, calling him "cousin".
Yuan Chaochang still liked this little cousin very much, so as soon as Zhou Yide came in, Yuan Chaochang held him in his arms.
Seeing this, Yuan Chaokang extended his hand to Yan Ge'er in order not to show favoritism.
After all, Fifth Uncle was very kind to them. When they were young, whenever his father and mother had to go to the palace to attend a banquet or something, Fifth Uncle would always come to the house to accompany him and his brother.
Yuan Chaokang remembered everything, so he also wanted to be nicer to his fifth uncle's children.
Mrs. Yu didn't like Yuan Chaokang a little. She thought he was a bad boy at such a young age and didn't want her son to have much contact with Yuan Chaokang.
So Yuan Chaokang reached out to hug Yan Ge'er, and Yu Shi dodged to the side for a moment. After Yu Shi realized what was happening, she added something unnecessary: "Yan Ge'er recognizes people, I'll just hold him."
Yuan Chaokang knew what kind of person his fifth aunt was, so he didn't force her and just went over to watch his eldest uncle give a gift to his mother.
When Yu saw that Yuan Chaokang was no longer obsessed with holding Yan Ge'er, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Zhiquan, who watched the whole process, said that if there was a pill to take to regret something, he would buy one for himself no matter what.
However, in this lively moment, Zhou Zhiquan didn't say anything. He just glared at Yu implicitly and planned to talk about it after returning home.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue opened it, she saw a pair of jade bracelets in the box. What was rare was that they were as crystal clear as glass, and the floating flowers inside were also beautiful.
Zhou Qiongyue immediately took it and put it on her hand. She raised her hand and walked to the window where there was sunlight. She looked at it repeatedly and liked it very much. "Thank you, brother."
Although Zhou Qiongyue has quite a few bracelets, who would complain about having too many good things like this!
Seeing that her sister-in-law liked it, Cheng was relieved. Her sister-in-law was so kind to them, and she was afraid that she would not like the gift from her husband.
Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang surrounded the bracelet, praising it and saying how beautiful it was.
The most jealous person here is Yu. The eldest brother returned home yesterday, but did not send anything to their fifth room.
Yu felt that her eldest brother and sister-in-law were "dog-eyed and contemptuous of others, despising the poor and loving the rich." They kept fawning over their younger sister-in-law, but ignored their fifth wife.
If Zhou Zhiyi knew what Yu was thinking at this moment, he would probably ask, "Isn't Brother Yan from the fifth house?"
Everyone was having a great time at this moment, and no one noticed Yu's expression.
Yu felt like she had been holding it in for a long time, but she finally couldn't help but speak, "Big brother and sister-in-law are just good to me. We are from the same mother, and it seems that big brother and sister-in-law like me more."
Zhou Zhiyi wasn't a conservative man, and he didn't have a principle of not arguing with women. Besides, his mother had been complaining about this fifth brother's wife in letters to him over the years.
"If your fifth sister-in-law likes it, go back to the Yu Mansion and ask your brother to give you one. Or if your fifth brother is here, you can ask him to give it to you too.
No matter what, it's not my turn as the eldest brother to deliver it!"
Yu didn't expect her elder brother to confront her directly, and her face immediately turned red to her ears.
Yu Shi wasn't really stupid, and she quickly tried to save the situation, "I'm just envious of my younger sister for having a good brother. I don't have any other intentions."
Zhou Zhiyi and Cheng pretended not to hear, but Zhou Zhiquan felt ashamed. He glared at the troublemaker again and said, "Brother Yan is homesick. You should take Brother Yan back home first!"
After Zhou Zhiquan finished speaking, without waiting for Yu to refute, he smiled and hugged Zhou Yiyan, "Let's go, I'll take you two to the carriage."
When Mrs. Yu saw her son being held in her husband's arms, she could only bow to Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua, and follow Zhou Zhiquan out.
Zhou Qiongyue has seen her fifth sister-in-law do a lot of weird things in recent years, and she is no longer surprised.
This little episode still did not affect the mood of several people, including Zhou Zhiquan who came back after sending Yu away.
Afterwards, the three siblings talked a lot about what had happened to them over the years. During dinner, Zhou Qiongyue, who hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, couldn't help but have a few drinks.
The three siblings hadn't been together for a long time, and Zhou Qiongyue was happy.
In the end, Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiquan were helped into the carriage. Cheng took care of Dege'er, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang throughout the whole process, and she did not drink a drop of alcohol.
But Cheng was also happy in her heart, because she really treated her younger sister and fifth brother as her relatives.
Yu was originally worried about being sent back to the mansion early. She also knew that what she said today was wrong and was afraid that Zhou Zhiquan would punish her when he returned home.
Yu didn't dare to go to bed early all night, waiting for Zhou Zhiquan to come back.
Only when someone around her reported back that Zhou Zhiquan was drunk and sleeping in the front yard did Yu rest assured.
Yu was worried for a few days, but when she saw that Zhou Zhiquan didn't bother her, she thought the matter was over.
I returned to my previous state, but I felt guilty and didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Time soon arrived and it was the 48th birthday of Mr. Yu, the Minister of Rites. Since it was not a big birthday celebration, it was just a meal for the family.
Of course, Zhou Zhiquan and Yu, as the son-in-law and daughter, have to go back.
So Zhou Zhiquan took Yu back to the Yu Mansion that day, and waited until everyone had wished Mr. Yu a happy birthday.
Zhou Zhiquan stood up and held a glass of wine to toast Yu Qinghong, the eldest brother of the Yu family, "Come on, brother, your brother-in-law will also toast you. I hope you can be nicer to your sister in the future.
Otherwise, when my wife saw my eldest brother giving my younger sister a pair of bracelets, she would be extremely envious and would make sarcastic remarks the whole time.
This must be because my wife didn't feel the love of my brother when she was at home! I can only take this opportunity to help my wife.
When Big Brother is free, can you also give my wife a pair of jade bracelets?"
Zhou Zhiquan was smiling the whole time when he said this.
Yu Qinghong······
Yu family······
Others
The scene can be described as dead silent.
Zhou Zhiquan was not afraid of embarrassment and added, "I'll drink this cup, big brother, you can do whatever you want."
After Zhou Zhiquan finished speaking, he drank the wine neatly.
Lord Yu and Madam Yu looked into their daughter's eyes, their eyes nearly blazing with anger.
